The steamer Admiral Evans, of the Admiral Line, reached Valdez at s this morning and sailed at 7 for Sew ard and the westward. The Evans will not return to Valdez on the trip south, but will go direct from ko- diak to Seattle in an effort to make up the time lost when the shaft of the steamer broke and the boat was held at Juneau for a week. ,s The Evans brought 50 tons of freight and 3t passengers for this city,, The cannery crews for the Port Graham, and Seldovia canneries were being taken west on the Evans.

RAILROAD. N|N6 ...
 A BIG VICTORY
Liability for Lost Baggage at $1OO Per Passenger.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-The Su- preme Court today handed down a decision in the cases brought against a Western railroad for damages be- cause of the loss of trunk. The railroad officials asserted that they were only called upon to pay dam age up to the $100 limit, as they sold tickets with that. understanding, but the owner claimed full damage for the loss of his trunk and it's contents, amounting to several thousands
 The court upheld the contention of the attorneys for the railroad and allowed damages for $100. and in the decision stated that where no valua-- tion is placed on baggage by the owners the railroad companies can be held for only $10O, as provided by the tickets, but that if the trunk is marked at greater value and. ac- cepted at the high value by the roads then they are bound by the higher valuation. .., The railroad officials ar jubilant at the decision, as cases involving thou sands of dollars are pending for lost trunks.

disease. Therefore, when wax is kept
in a melted state for about ten min
utes there is a certainty that three
of the four dangerous diseases are
destroyed.
The name foul brood was used
nearly a century and a half ago to
describe a destructive disorder of bees
attacking the brood of bees, and for a
long time any similar destructive dis
ease was called by that name. About
half a century ago bee keepers began
to notice that all brood diseases are
not the same. At present three dis
tinct infectious bee diseases are
known that attack the brood only
European foul brood. American foul
brood and Sacbrood. European foul
brood causes the larvae to die early,
and is not accompanied by the pro-
nounced odor which enables bee keep
ers to detect American foul brood. In
the former case the larvae usually
die before the cells containing them
are capped; in the latter they usually
die after the cells are capped. In
the latter disease the decaying larvae
show a marked viscidity (ropiness),
which is absent in the former.
The disease Sacbrood received its
name from the sac-like appearance OF
the dead larvae when they ere re-
moved from the cell This Is the
most cferistic symptom OF the

disease, which almost invariably
causes the affected larvae to die after
the cell is capped.
In the spring of the year many
bees, especially those of weak colo
MES, show upon examination a high
percentage affected with Nosema dis
ease. a disease that attacks adult
bees only. From fifty to ninety per
cent. of the bees of weak colony
are sometimes infected with the para
site Nosema apis that causes this dis
ease. The bees stomach is the organ
affected. Many colonies that are
strong and apparently doing well are
found to contain some bees infected
with this parasite.
A new bulletin Of the department
mo. 92), Destruction of Germs of
Infectious Bee Diseases by Heating, I"
contains details of the results of ex-
periments that have been made on
this bee problem. Although consider
able work must still be done before
methods for the complete control of
these infectious bee diseases can be
recommended, still the results OF ex-
periments to date will give bee keep
ers practical data that may aid them

spray material and be destroyed just
as quickly as they start growing. For
this reason it is not only necessary to
begin spraying early, but to do the
work very thoroughly and as often
as 1t is necessary in order to keep
the new growth protected. As already
pointed out, the disease Is more GER
tain to develop during warm, moist
weather, and at such times the crop
should be sprayed once each week.
AS a rule, about four or five spray
ings are sufficient, unless the season
is exceptionally favorable to the de-
velopment of the disease. -
There are a large number of good
Spraying machines upon the market,
varying from a cheap hand pump
mounted on a barrel to elaborate
power outfits. The main essential IN
applying the mixture to the celery is
to work under high pressure and to
thoroughly distribute it. Simply
shooting a spray of the mixture
downward into the heart of the plant
is not sufficient, and the sides and
under portions should also be coated.
In order to accomplish this result it
is desirable to provide at least three
nozzles for each row of celery, ono
on either side so arranged that they
will direct the spray sidewise and
slightly upward under the leaves, and
the third above to spray downward
into the plants. The top nozzle may
be set at slight angle SO that the
spray will not go directly downward.
While every part of the foliage of
the celery should be coated with a
fine spray, there should not be enough
of the mixture applied to cause it to
run. down the stem and form in the
cups at the base of the leaves Dur
ing the past two seasons large guam
titles of celery have come upon the
markets showing the effects of the
excessive use of the spray mixture.
Just light coating and this applied
at frequent intervals, is preferable to
ar occasional drenching of the foliage.
While the spraying is being done
the matter OF frequent cultivation
should not be neglected. It is just as
important to keep the plants in
thrifty, growing condition as to spray
for the prevention of the disease, and
where there is once an infestation of
disease the only remedy is to check
the disease by spraying and then cul-
tivate and fertilize to force the plants
to outgrow the disease.

In case you are a breeder Of live

of animals for breeding purposes, or
possibly a pure-bred bull, boar or
ram for the Improvement of your
herd or flock. it will be well to know
that the Federal government main
tains strict supervision over the
entry of such animals into this coun-
try. The same close scrutiny is ex-
erciSed over deer, goats or other pet
animals, which foreign travellers
sometimes wish to bring home as pets
or as mementos of their travels.
In either case it will be advisable
to defer making a purchase or en-

these are somewhat permanent and
are charges which the landlord ordi-

KILL BEE DISEASE
GERMS BY HEAT
Minimum Temperatures at
Which Honey, Wax and Hives
May Be Safe.

How much heat is necessary to de-
stroy the germs that produce dis
eases among bees? This question
has been asked by many bee keep
ers, who, although they know how
heat is employed to reduce their
losses from disease, do not know ex-
actly at what temperatures to use it
for different diseases. The question
is now answered by the United States
department of agriculture, which has
been conducting experiments for two
years to obtain the information.
Honey is often heated to destroy
the germs of infectious bee diseases.
and similar heat is also used in the
rendering of wax and in the making
of comb foundations. The direct
flame applied to the inside of hives
that have had infected colonies in
them has also been used in the con-
troll of these diseases. Those who
handle honey commercially will be in
terested to know that when honey is
heated to a temperature of 100 de-
grees Fahrenheit the germs of three
of the four infectious diseases of bees
that give trouble to bee keepers are
destroyed.
There are four bee diseases now
known to be infectious, the germs of
which may be destroyed by applying
heat of certain temperatures for ten
minutes. These diseases are Euro
pean foul brood, American foul brood,
Sacbrood and Nosema disease. The
minimum temperatures at which heat
will destroy these diseases respec-
lively are as follows:
European foul brood minimum tenn
perature lies somewhere between lao
and 149 degrees Fahrenheit, being
approximately 146 degrees Fahrenheit;
American foul brood, minimum tenn
perature lies somewhere between 1874
and 212 degrees Fahrenheit, being
approximately 20S degrees Fahrenheit;
Sacbrood, minimum temperature lies
somewhere between 131 and 140
degrees Fahrenheit, being approx
mately 1877 degrees Fahrenheit; No
soma disease, minimum temperature
lies somewhere between 1Sl and
140 degrees Fahrenheit. being approx
imately 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
In practise the bee keeper, in de-
stroying these germs. will naturally
use quantity of heat somewhat in
excess of the minimum amount that
is absolutely necessary.
The melting point OF beeswax Is be-
tween 143 degrees-14S degrees Fahren-
heit. and this temperature Will de-
stroy the germ of the European foul
brood in ten minutes It is about 10
degrees Fahrenheit above that which
