Steam for the 0oll,

For q year or two past certain grow
ers of tomatoes, cucumbers and simi-
lar vegetables for the London market
have been injecting steam into the soil
with view to destroying insects and
slugs. 1t is reported that the plan
works very well for that purpose. but
the operation brought to light an un-
expected fact-namely, that the soil
thus treated increased greatly in fer
tility; 30 greatly, indeed. that the ordi-
nary amount Of manure cannot be
used afterward.
This effect has been explained as be-
ing due to the sterilization produced
by the steam. which kills the phago-
cytes or protozoa which in ordinary
circumstances keep down the number
Of bacteria in the soil whose opera
tions are beneficent in turning organic
nitrogen into plant food.-Harpor's

TURN 5000, 900 CHINOOK
SALMON INTO STREAMS

OAhiiVN ANAV VI NLfAFlO
over 100000 Chinook salmon
fry were hatched and liberated at
the Elk creek hatchery this spring,
nearly as many steelhead trout have
been hatched and liberated at the
Elk creek and Applegate stations,
and over million are being held
until they attain the lingering stage,
according to Henry O'Malley, super
intendent of the United States bu-
reau of fisheries, who has returned
from an inspection trip to both sta
tions. Said Mr.. O'Malley:
THE U. S. bureau of fisheries at
its hatchery located on Elk creek,
near Trail, is having the most sue
cessful years work on steelhead
trout that it has had during its his
tory, the work being under the i'm
mediate charge of Hugh C. Mitch
ell. Eggs of this valuable species
were collected on Applegate and
Elk creeks. The former station Sc
cured over four millions, a portion of
which were held at that point to be
hatched and liberated into Applegate
creek, the balance shipped when
eyed to Elk creek hatchery, there to
be hatched together with the 700,-
900 collected at Elk creek and fed
until they reach the lingering stage
when they will be liberated into the
Rogue river and its tributaries.
THE feeding and caring for such
a large number of trout fry has
been made possible through the ef-
forts of the sportsmen of Medford
in securing the cooperation of w.
L. Finley, state game warden for
Oregon, and the state game and
fish commission and the U. S. bu-
reau of fisheries The government
bears the expenses of collecting,
eyeing and Matching the eggs, then
the state supplies the necessary
funds for the bureau to feed and
carry them until they reach the
lingering stage and are liberated,
thus bringing them to an age where
they are capable of caring for them
selves with excellent chances of be-
coming matured fish, soon to furnish
sport for the angler.
ITO allow the carrying on of this
work on a large scale, many i'm
provements have been made, a few
of which are the installing of new
current wheel, which gives the sta
tion a water supply of 4S0 gallons
per minute. Two new large plank
ponds were constructed, fifty feet
long, ten feet wide and three feet
deep, and at this time are full of
feeding fry, as is every available
trough at the station.
"Twenty-one thousand cutthroat
are also being held under the same
conditions, as we'll as two expert
ments on hybrid fish, which were Sc
cured by fertilizing the eggs of a
steelhead with the milt of the silver
salmon and the eggs of the cut
throat fertilized by a male steelhead,
and in both cases the fry are strong
and vigorous. Racks are now being
placed in the river at this point, in
the ordinary course of preparation
for collecting chinook salmon eggs
this fall, over 100000 of which
were liberated this spring from the
hatchery"

Roseburg, June 19.-Sheriff
Quine today is redoubling his efforts
to capture Ray Diamond, the young
man who robbed the Glendale State
bank, following arrival of miner
from a camp 20 miles west of Glen
dale, who related a thrilling story
of a visit paid the mine by the fu-
gitive
According to the miner, Diamond
entered the mine bunkhouse and
calmly sat down, with rife slung
over his arm. Though he did not let
his finger leave the trigger and
though he eyed his host closely, he
made no hostile demonstration
The miners were taken complete
ly off guard, though they had been
warned to be on the lookout. After
inquiring the way to the coast,
Diamond waved his hand and start
ed away in the direction of Gold
Beach.
AS soon as he heard the miners
story Quine notified the sheriff at
Gold Beach to patrol the trail with
posse, and Quine will back-trail
Diamonds path in case the robber
changes his suspected plans.
Glendale, Or, June 19.-The
Glendale State bank has wired today
the bonding company to increase its
reward for the capture of Ray
Diamond to $500, declaring the risk
too great for possemen to venture in
pursuit. 1t is believed here that
Diamonds appearance at Whiskey
Creek yesterday was merely blind
to make the pursuers believe he in
tended to cross to the Gold Beach
country. Sheriff Quine is waiting
at West Fork for pack horses and
mounts to take the trail again
