This city Is also given the credit in
the report for constructing the first
publication plant in operation in the
United States, in 1853. This, says the
report, was of the "sedimentation"
type. which depends upon the force of
gravity to carry down and deposit the
clay and silt. Similar plants were in
stalled in Louisville, Ky, in 1879;
Council Bluffs, Iowa, in 1888; Dallas,
Tex. in 1889, and Omaha. Neb. and Os-

The growing solicitude for the purity
and adequacy of the water supply is
further indicated by the very consider
able increase which has taken place
during recent years in the amount in
vested in municipal water supply
plants. The total capital invested in
these plants in 1904, in the los cities

FREIGHT RATES FROM
SAN FRANCISCO TO
MANILA ARE LOWER

A drop in freight rates from San
Francisco to Manila of over so pei
cent and signs that other rates are
soon to decline have combined to
make Manila merchants more optimis

according to the Manila Bulletin
which says:
"One prominent importer told the
Bulletin that the bottom had dropped

with what they were short time
ago. The rate quoted from San Fran,
cisco to Manila has dropped from $40
per ton to $3.50, and the importer
said that a decided fall In rates to

It Is not expected that the latter will

Preparedness for the grower Of fruit

summer, begin now. II you would have

trees before spring
The brown tail caterpillar became such
pest in portions of New England last
year that the United States department
of Agriculture found it necessary to
place an embargo on shipments from
Quarres in certain sections. because 1t
was found that stone from these quaries
carried the eggs OF the gypsy moth.
which when Matched are the brown tail
catorpillars.
Vigorous winter warfare will lessen
the danger The department of Acri-
culture advises painting the egg clusters
with crcosote, Apply the creosote with
a brush, after mixing little lamp black
with the liquid to discolor the eggs, so
YOU will know what clusters you have
treated
Another method is to burn the winter
webs. Others advise cutting the webs
from the tree, but there is danger that
the eggs will fan to the ground and
hatch In the spring.
Attack the tent caterpillar the same
way. In addition to your fruit trees,
watch the wild cherry trees in your
n oighborhood, for they are veritable
breeding grounds for the pests-Phila-

Kind Of drab, er brown, er gray;
Kind of testy in orr tempcrs,

Ard the sun comes Dustin out,
And We Jump up from our grouches.
And We want to run and shout
Shlnin' down on all around us
Like a bright and lovely day,
All our droopiness forgotten.
All our drab and brown and gray,
Like the weather-things can change US
In minute, so ii seems.
Send us out to roarln' winter
From the midst of summer dreams;
Send us back again with smilin'
just as sweet and warm as spring.
With the rosebuds at us noddin'
And the bluebirds tryin' to sing.
Like the weather-sin and trouble,
Grief and worry. toll and care,
Seem 10 vanish like a bubble
In loves sweet and pleasant air;
When We're cloudy were in torment
When we're shlnin' it's our way
TO be bright as new-mown daisies
In the medder-lands OF May.
