The session of the first annual
Western Dairy Products show and
conference held last week at the
Davenport hotel in Spokane, to-
gether with the giving of awards
to the successful contestants,
brought thesproceedings to salts
factory conclusion, the average at
tendance having been rs.
In a series of resolutions. the as
sociation favored the efforts of the
National Dairy union for a nation
wide campaign for the true adver-
tising of every kind of dairy prod
uct; in favor of the use of a but
ter trier as more reliable and
satisfactory method than that at
present used by the internal reven-
department; against the removal
of the color line for oleomargerine
or any legislation favoring the
marketing of butter substitutes as
butter. The association also urged
the maintenance and operation Of
a college creamery in connection
with the college dairy departments
of western educational institutions
as being essential in giving proper
instruction in dairy manufacture.

A Washington, D. C. dispatch
says that a water power bill under
which congress would retain con-
troll over the construction of dams
on navigable rivers and commits
sion composed of the secretaries
of war, agriculture and interior
would regulate the use of power
will be introduced in the senate
Monday by Senator Husting of
Wisconsin as a substitute for the
Shields bill, which has been debat-
ed in the senate for nearly two
; weeks. The substitute is said to
satisfy conservationists, who, un-
der the lead of Clifford Pinchot,
have objected to some features of
the pending measure.
The Husting bill would set
30-year limit on power licenses,
but the commission would have au-
thority to grant two renewals for
10 years each. At the expiration
of a license, the United States
would take over the property upon
payment of a price fixed by the
commission. A charge of not less
than 10 cents per theoretical horse
power III provided.
The bill also empowers the fed
eral government to take possession
of any improvement which become:
part of combination or conspir
acy to restrain the output or dis.
tribution of power, and to seize, ir
time of necessity. all power plants
for the manufacture of nitrates
and explosives.

Their Ruler a Corporal.
During the battle of Palaestro, in
1889. the Austrians ia three columns
attacked the Piedmontese in order TO
throw them back across the Sesia. The
right and center columns Were repuls-
ed. but the left continued to advance
and threatened danger. At that mo-
ment the Third Zouaves, led by Colonel
Chabran and obeying the orders of Vie
cor Emmanuel H., attacked the Aus
trians with the bayonet, threw the en-
envy back across the bridge over the
Sesia and drowned many of them in
the Sasetta canal.
In this memorable battle the king
was constantly in the tiercest of the
fght. The zouaves were enchanted
with his prowess. ana i'll the evening

that they should send congratulatory

PERSONAL FLAGS.
Special Emblems For the President and

Special Emblems For the President and
Other Officials.
Until 1881 the president of the Unit
ed States had no personal flag, his
presence on board an American naval
vessel being indicated 10y hosting the
national emblem at the head of the
mainmast. and the garrison flag, re-
served for times of special ceremony.
was displayed on the staff at army
posts whenever he visited them
The need of a special flag for the
president was frequently felt, especial
ly when visiting royalty was entertain
ed in this country. In August 1882,
it was directed by the secretary of the
navy that the flag Of the president of
the United States shall consist of a
blue ground. with the arms of the
United States in The center The flag
shall be hoisted at the mainmast Of
the vessel OF war while the president
is on board and shall he carried in The
bow of his boat"
For years after this the national flag
was used for indicating the presence
of the vice president or Of an eX-presi
dent, but this use was more or less
confusing. and besides. it was argued,
the stars and stripes properly stand
for the nation rather than any in
dividual. For this reason special flag
for the vice president was adopted.
This flag is the same in design as the
presidents naval blue flag, except that
the national coat of arms is emblazon-
ed on white field on it. Cabinet Off
GERS and the assistant secretaries of
some of the executive departments also
have distinctive fiags.-Cleveland Plain

The canes of the bushes must never
be allowed to press one another. When
this is the case good fruit is impos-
sible. Overcrowding is fatal to either
fruit or flowers.
The great object in pruning is to
open the heart of the trees or bush,
so as to admit the sunshine and air.
The thicket of young suckers should
also be removed.
To form a raspberry hedge, plant
the canes a foot apart, and train on
wires. Cut out those that have borne,
and train the young canes so that
they are six inches apart.

EIectrocution Trap For
Insects Brings Comfort
For Summer Evenings

An electrocution trap for insects -
one Of the latest Inventions to bring
comfort to mankind. Now II win BE-
possible to sit reading In peace On
your porch at night while the electro
cution trap kills on the insects that
would naturally seek you as their prey.
Upon an insulated frame two naked
metal conductors are coiled In spiral
with sufficient space between the wind
ings. The two conductors are connect
ed with source OF electricity in such
a manner that the current cannot cir
culate until it is actually used in kill
ing an insect.
This is one OF the advantages Of the
invention. for In this way no current
can be wasted. Insects may be at
tracted to the electrocntion either by
water or by any other attractive sub
stance. AT night time electric lights
are the best.
AS quickly as an insect touches the
bait or the light and comes In contact
with any two of the live wires they
drop down into the bottom Of the trap.
The current is very slight and passes
through the insect only for moment.

Representative Sinnott Now
Wears Oregon lacMabbit Fedora

Washington, D. C. High-grade felt
hats can be manufactured from the fur
OF Oregon jackrabbits. This IL no
longer theory. but q demonstrated
fact, and Representative N. j. Sinnott,
Of Oregon, Is today proudly wearing
the first and only felt fedora ever man
ufactured In the country from jackrab-
bit fur.
Last winter Mr.. Sinnot discovered
that felt hat manufacturers were en-
barrassed because their supply of Ger
man rabbit fur was cut of with the
war. II occurred to him that jackrab-
bit fur might be substituted and he
sent to Oregon for consignment Of
jackrahbit skins. These he turned
over to the largest and best-known hat
manufacturers in the East, with the
request that they experiment with the
rabbit fur and determine its suitabili-
ties for hat manufacture.
The jackrabbit hat seems to be the
equal OF any SIS felt hat on the market.
It is Of fine. soft texture, smooth 10
the touch and clear In color and grain.
Members who examined it pronounced
1t first-class headpiece and one that
ought to command good price in the
market.
Mr.. Sinnott was told by manufacture
ers, who entered upon the experiment
with some doubts. that the Oregon
jackrabbit fur made much better hat
than they had anticipated. He also
learned from them that jackrabbits to
be valuable for hat manufacture must
be killed in the winter months, when
the fur is heaviest, and must come
from the colder portions of the West.

destroyed the pier and its warehouse,
which was occupied by the United
States army quartermaster's depart

Large quantities Of army supplies in
the warehouse were destroyed. The

old, standing in front Of the state arm
ory on top Of bluff block distant
watching the FIRE. was struck by a
fragment Of bursting shell and in
stantly killed.
The financial loss Of the fire is esti-
mated at $500. 600.
The United States cable repair
steamer Burnside was at the pier when
the tire broke out, but was taken out
into the stream by her crew before
much damage was done. Her upper
works were slightly scorched.

Crop Shortage VIII Be Offset
by Higher Prices This Year

Washington, d. c. = The monthly
bulletin Of the Federal Reserve board.
issued this week. discussing business
conditions Of the Pacific Coast, says:
while the crops Of this section win
be less than the average. due 70 dam
age by late frosts and drouth, the
farmers and fruit growers win be pro
tected from loss through the greater
prices which they win receive for their
products. Peach growers who last
year permitted their crops 10 rot on
the trees because of the improbable
prices prevailing are this year con-
tracing 10 sell their product. which
will be 40 to 60 per cent Of the aver
age, at more than double the prices
prevailing at the same time last year.
The damage from the frost 70 ap-
pies and pears In the Northwest has
been quite serious and general but the
prediction IL made that notwithstand-
Ing this the years crop win exceed
that Of 1915.
This years grain crop Of the twelfth
district will be from 20 to 80 per cent
less than that Of last year. This short
age IL due 10 the unusual drouth which
has prevailed during the spring In GER
tain parts Of California. A material
decrease In acreage is reported from
the Northwest. II Is asserted that the
carry over from last years wheat crop
In Oregon and Washington equals 20
