lines of magazine venture from those laid
down by DR.. Holland and his associates,
Richard Watson Glider, when, more than
a generation ago, they established this
magazine.
Col. George Harvey has parted with two
periodicals which years ago We're estab-
lished by the Harpers. One of these at
one time gained an exceptional reputation.
II was the great and distinctive American
pictorial weekly publication. For years its
net returns were very large. The other
one, established chiefly through the faith
the late Fletcher Harper had in a high
grade publication devoted chiefly to the
interests of women also prospered for a
time.
The Harpers expected that their weekly
pictorial publication would last as long as
the house did. 1t did remain with that
, house and with its successor under the
management of Colonel Harvey until the
eXigencies and changes in the periodical
publication business at last justified

erty and also with another of the Harper

Colonel Harvey will probably refuse to

few which now justify themselves COM
mercially. 1t is understood to be hand
some profit maker.
Changes of Periodical Ownership
What Ambassador Page said to his
friends just before he sailed for London
expresses an opinion which has prevailed,
although expressed in confidence, in pub
lication circles for two or three years
For. although vast profits have been made
in the past 20 years by publications of the
kind known as 10 and 10 cent magazines,
yet 1t has been evident to astute publishers
that the climax of prosperity for publi-
cations of that kind was reached two or
three years ago. A number of low priced
magazines have passed into the posses
sion of publishers syndicates. The prin-
ciple of combination or merger has been
adopted evidently for the purpose of saw
ing these properties.
Some of the profits made by the low
priced periodicals have been enormous.
Some of those who are very closely as
sociated with Mr.. Munsey in his new
ventures as banker report that one of
his periodicals has in the 20 years of it's
existence as a low price magazine netted
him SIS, 900 900, and another of his publica-
tions has, in the same time. netted him
s., 900 coo. That is to say, in about 20
years Mr.. Munseys net profits from two
low priced periodicals were 5000 0OO
There is probably no other business ven
ture in the United States which upon so
small a capitalization or investment of
capital has returned so great net profits
as these.

Bryan Hopes to Close Deal
Preventing Future Action
By Foreign Nations
5000, 900 WOULD
BE INITIAL COST
Arrangement Would Include Gulf of
FOnseca, Said to Be Finest Place
for Naval Base on the
Pacific Coast
BY G. e. STEWART

Washington, June 5.-(Special. )-Durina
the closing days of the Taft administra-
ton there was treaty negotiated by the
United States government and the Mica
raguan government by which the United
States was to secure the perpetual right
and an exclusive franchise for the build
ing of an interoceanic canal through Mic
aragua and also a naval station, together
with several small islands on the Pacific
of that country. This treaty was never
ratified by the Senate, but it is understood
that Secretary Bryan will take the mat
ter up and ask the Senate committee on
foreign relations to ratify this treaty,
which is now pending before that body
with only few minor changes.
The purpose of such treaty is appar-
ent. Through its ratification the Mica
raguan route will be forever closed to ev-
cry nation except the United States. While
no one has taken 1t seriously there has
been considerable talk emanating from
Europe that some European government
might revive the old Nicaraguan canal
project These rumors have served in
Central America, where they have re-
ceived considerable credence, as a basis
for many schemes by which it was sought
to advance the interests of some central
American revolutionary faction or state.
Morgan Favored Nicaragua
Senator Morgan of Alabama, who IA
vored the building of an interocean canal
for years before the sentiment of the
country was worked up to the point of
undertaking the task, was always strongly
H., fa,. ,1ff 10 NTir-, n,al
never fully convinced but what 1t was the
most feasible of the two proposed. And
since the Nicaraguan route is without
doubt a possibility and Or the purpose of
removing an irritant in Central America
and securing a guarantee against any
competition to the Panama canal, it is
deemed advisable by many statesmen in
this country and is said to be looked upon
with favor by the administra ton as it was
with President Taft, to obtain this exclu
sive privilege. Indeed, the belief is held
by many that at some future time it may
be found practicable and profitable to con-
struct across Nicaragua a canal for light
draught vessels only.
The concession for a naval base is,
however considered of more immediate
importance. This concession will be in The
Gulf of Fonseca, On the west coast. This
body of water is one of the few on the
west coast of the North American con-
tinent which afford ample and deep har-
bor facilities. 1t is called the Finest har
Dor or constellation of harbors on the west
coast of the western hemisphere"
The gulf is about so miles long and 80
wide and its waters wash the shores of
three Central American repubics-Hon-
duras, Nicaragua and Salvador. 1t has
double entrance to the ocean. The bay is
filled with number of small islands of
volcanic origin. From any point in this
bay easy access NAV be had to the shores
of the three republics.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-06
Importance of Naval Base

The possession of a naval base site Is
regarded of prime importance by the
naval authorities of the United States in
view of the approaching opening of the
Panama canal Upon the completion If
the canal the United States battleship fleet
will spend about half of each year on the
Pacific coast At present there is no place
where the fleet can repair on the west
coast for maneuvers, target practice or
other exercises which would afford the
facilities required. In view of the expec-
tation that the attention of the navy is
to be taken up with affairs in the neign-
borhood of the Panama canal the possess
sion of an adequate naval station with
good anchorage on the west coast of Latin
America is most desirable.
The Gulf of Fonseca has been in the
limelight of International politics. for a
long time. More than so years ago Great
Britain attempted 20 acquire possession Of
the gulf and was prevented from doirg
so only by vigorous objection on the part
of the United States. The United States
itself In the past has made arrangements
to acquire a naval base in the gulf, but
they have never been carried into effect.
Uncle Sam Would Pay $3,000,OOO
Under the terms Of the treaty proposed
by the Taft administration, which will
probably not be altered by the present ad-
ment of Nicaragua is to receive $4,000, 900
in money to be supplied for public works
or public education In that country, in re
turn for the concessions 1t makes. In fact,
Mr.. Bryan, it is said wants a stipulation
in the treaty that 1t is to be used for that
purpose only, and he has already discussed
that phase of the question with the Mica
rauguan minister in Washington. who as
sures him that this can be arranged with
out difficulty.
The administration has not actually
taken this matter UP with the Senate. but
It is understood ir official circles that it
may be done at a rery early date. If the
administration does decide to stand behind
the treaty there is no doubt but what 1t
will be ratified by the senate. 1t will have
the support of most of the republicans in
addition TO the democrats who will swing
into line at the request of the President
The old plans for the canal by way of
Nicaragua call for the utilization of Lake
Nicaragua and several rivers lying on
either side of the lake. Comparatively lit
lie excava ton will be necessary to build
a canal by this route for light draft yes
sells.
This government is already bound by
treaty with Nicaragua to follow a specified
route in case it ever builds a canal across
that country. In the protocol of 1900 the
United States agreed with Nicaragua that
the Atlantic terminal should be near San
Juan del Norte, thence to Lake Nicaragua
by the Indio river and from the lake TO
the Pacific coast along the course of a
small river the mouth of which is near
San Juan Del Sur.

Cut worms. reported to be epidemic

Cut worms. reported to be epidemic
in the wheat fields OF Eastern Oregon,
may be combatted by many methods.
one OF the most efficient of which is
simply good farm practices; fall and
winter plowing; cleaning up and
burning trash about the filed and In
fence corners; rotation OF crops and
thorough cultivation.
The adults are moths. most OF them
nocturnal In habit. medium sized. a

the Oregon Agricultural college. AS
caterpillars they are sleek. well fed.
ranging when grown from one to al
most two inches in length. They are
variously colored, dull yellowish.
smoky gray. whitish. greenish striped
and clouded. and sparsely haired.
They have three pairs OF true legs
on the three segments Just back Of
the head. and five pairs OF prolegs
ON segments further back. They re-
main tightly curled In some darken-
cd place. under clod or down in the
soil short distance. throughout the
day, emerging TO feed at night.
Occasionally. under peculiar con-
ditions of climate, numbers or food
supply. they assume the army habits.
crawling in hordes during the day and
'devouring everything in their path.
They are then termed army worm.
Nearly every year there is one or
more OF these outbreaks. and certain
species have so frequently assumed
this army habit that they have gained
the distinction of definite name, "a

worm, the wheathead army worm and
the erratic army worm.
