The Emerald.

The emerald has been known since
early times both in Europe and in GER
tain parts of the orient, where its at
tractive color and rarity have endowed
it with the highest rank and varied
lore. Its name may be traced back to
an old Persian word which appeared
in Greek as "smaragdos," mentioned
by Theophrastus over 300 years before
the Christian era, and again in Latin
as "smaragdus," seen in the writings
of Pliny, who particularized somewhat
on its properties and supposed me-
dicinal virtues and was even shrewd
enough to suspect its identity with the
much more common beryl, although
eighteen centuries elapsed before this
suspicion was verified by scientific
proof.

college, who says that the practice
is entirely one-sided and unbusiness-
like.
"This one-sided contract" said he
after tour of some of the bean dis
tricts of the valley, guarantees the
growers nothing and still they have
to pay for 1t That is, there is no
guarantee that the bean crop will
be sold for any more than the grow
er could get for tor even as much
and a considerable percentage of
the market price will go to the SELL
ing agencies.
Although the acreage has been
greatly increased in this and other
states there is no indication that the
price will be forced down. The de-
mand is enormous and continues to
grow. For this reason the growers
had best keep the marketing in their.
own hands and get all the profits
there is to be made.
Going prices at the time of mar
keting can be learned by farmers and
dealers by watching the big bean or
CARNATIONS of Michigan California
and Colorado. The Michigan grow
ers really lead since they produce
large percentage of the bean crop Of
the country and the prices they agree
on will be followed by the ofganiza-
tions in the other states"
Increased acreage is indicated in
letters to DR.. Macpherson from COM
mecial clubs throughout western Ore
gon. The Roseburg club reports 100
tons. Riding through the valley one
sees from an acre to five acres on
nearly every farm.

FORTUNES ARE FOUND
F0ATTNG ABOUT SEA
Valuable Ambersris Cast Up by
Whale Washed Upon Shores.

Should you go to the ssashore this
summer keep your eyes open for am
bergris. It's worth S26 an ounce now.
Ambergris? Ambergris Is a bfubher-
Gus substance found floating in the
sea and sometimes 1t Is washed up
on shore For the second time within
the last few years a vessel owned
by a Provincetown, Mass, man has
brought in a piece of this substance
valued at some $4,000. The man who
finds a medium sized chunk of this
Jelly, which hardens when exposed to
the air. might invest the proceeds
from the sale of 81 and retire for
life. A lump the size Of q washtub
would raise the mortgage on the old
homestead.
Ambergris for many years was a
mystery. 1t was usually found wash
ing around in the sea. and whence II
came and what its composition was
obscure man, yet a clever one, dis
covered its peculiar and valuable quail
tiles. Perfumery makers had long
been troubled by the evanescent prop
critics Of perfumes, and the great need
had been for a binder to produce
staying qualities.
This genius took four ounces of the
mysterious substance known as am
oergris and dissolved II in a gallon
Of cologne spirits, thus producing a
tincture Of ambergris. The tincture
Is allowed TO stand for a year to
'ripen," after which a small quantity,
q few drops mingled with perfumery,
gives an odor that fingers.
But ambergris, being so extremely
scarce, commands an enormous price.

TRADE BODY ACCUSES
WESTERNLUMDERM MEN
Hundred Dealers Charged with Try
ing to Wreck Mail Order Firms.
BY FRANK WING.

Formal complaint against 100 Ium-
Der dealers operating in States west
OF the Mississippi. charging an at
tempt to wreck the business OF mail
order houses dealing in lumber. was
made by the Federal Trade Commis-
sion yesterday.
1nke w. Boyse and Plat B. Walker,
both of Minneapolis, are charged with
being the leaders in the conspiracy.
The commission alleged that: An
organized campaign Of annoyance, in
which retail dealers here asked volum-
inOus estimates on lumber they had no
intention of buying from mail order
houses, was conducted by the lumber
dealers; that reports injurious to the
credit OF the mail order houses were
circulated; that lumber manufactur-
ers were threatened with boycott II
they sold to mail order houses, and
that statesmen were sent to trail"
mail-order sellers, seeking to discredit
them.
The dealers against whom complaint
was made have been summoned to ap-
pear in Washington and answer the
charges on July 81.

GREAT REAL ESTATE

New Residents Fill All Houses.
Rents 10 Rise in Fall.

Washington IL at the beginning OF
the greatest real estate and renting
boom In It's history. The Thousands
of persons who are foclxing hereto
work In the government departments,
sell supplies, confer with the war
councils, do correspondence work and
other things-are filing up all avail
able houses and apartments In the
city.
Real estate men are not planning to
raise rents this summer. though even
in midsummer there viii be a tre-
mendous demand for living quarters.
but unquestionably rents will be rais-
ed after September, probably from 10
to 20 per cent.
The number of houses and apart
ments under construction In Washing
ton at the present time is the great
est In the history of the city, but
these additional quarters will not be-
gin to take care Of the demand. Each
train that comes in Ii bringing scores
of persons to the city, who immedi-
ately start out in search Of homes.
Building speculators and real estate
men have under contemplation now
hundreds of new homes and apart
ments, practically all in the north
west. and most OF these will be start
ed early this summer.

ERIE GUARD KILLED
BY train ROBBERS
Gang Is Beaten of in Revolver
Battle.
81 to Ths WaahinEton Herald.

SPECIAL 70 Inc WlAh1ngtOn Herald.
New York. June l3.-One man was
members OF what is known as the
county road gang in their attempt
to hold up and rob an Erie train in
the meadows near Penn Horn Creek,
between Homestead and Secaucus,
n. ]. The victim was John Miller, a
watchman. The robbers were driven
OF.
Details Of the fight are not complete.
1t was casually mentioned to other
railroad men by Conductor William
Peacock, in charge of the train, when
he was relieved at Little Ferry juno
ton.
As he turned over his train sheets
70 Conductor Frank Wright, who re-
neved him, Peacock mentioned Incl
dentally to Wright that he and his
men had had fight with members of
the county road gang and that shots
had been exchanged. This gang hangs
out about where the Erie and the
county road cross Penn Horn Creek.
1t has robbed trains before.
Wright took the train as far as
Paterson, where some cars were cut
out and run on a siding. There as
Frank kerrigan, a brakeman, was
running along the roofs Of the cars,
he came upon the body of John Miller.
a Watchman employed by the Erie.
usually detailed at the Claxton yards,
Jersey City. He had been shot and
MS skull was fractured, thought to
have been due to his head being
crushed under a bridge after he fell
from the bullet.
In Miller's right hand was his re-
Volyer with several chambers empty.
while a police whistle was clutched in
the nngers Of his left hand.

brand. conservative leader in the
Reichstag. In a speech TO his electors
he quoted q German admiral as say
ing: I'VE hope, yes, We are certain,
that IN two months at the most the
that Great Britain viii be finished"
Herr Won Heydebrand had asked the
admiral whether he believed Ger
many could win q complete victory
through the submarine campaign. The
admiraPs confident reply was used by
the conservative leader to confound
doubters and lukewsrm individuals"
found among the German masses, who
are questioning in increasing degree
the political and military efficacy of
ruthless submarine warfare"
Herr Won Heydebrand also gave
warning against hope Of a separate
peace with Russia and a consequent
easy victory over Germanys other
opponents, In this connection he said
this hope, but that such a peace
would be possible only IL made with
a government strong enough to con-
tgol the situation in the interior and
face the consequences Of a break be-
tween Russia and her allies. The
Russian government, he said, was not
strong enough for this.
Unwilling praise Of British achieve
ment was given by Herr Won Heyde-
brand. He referred to the fact that
an army of millions had been put into
the field and said England was like
bulldog which could not be shak-
en- on after its jaws had closed. How
ever, he was convinced that, owing
to the submarine, 1t would be unneces-
sary to endure another winter of war.
He concluded his speech by demand.

u. S. LOANS FARMS
FOR WAR PRODUCTION
Millions of Idle Acres Let Out on
Share System.

Millions of bushels of grain and
other foodstuffs will be added to the
nation's production this year through
the efforts of the Reclamation Service
OF the Department of the Interior.
Land never cultivated before in prac-
tically every State west of the Mis-
souri, River has been given over TO
farmers in proportion to their ability
to guarantee payment of labor.
These lands do not come under the
homestead act, Secretary Lane having
power to do with them as he pleases
and he is working with Secretary
of Agriculture Houston to help win
the war by letting the farmer do his
bit. ~ lsSsI
1T Is too early yet to make accurate
estimates of the increased production.
said Morris Bien. counsel to the
Reclamation Service yesterday, but
it will mean millions Of bushels OF
grain. This Is more or less Of pre-
paratory year. By 1918, We will be
in a position to swell the nation 6
food supply immensely.
Contracts are made by the depart
ment on the basis OF applicants re-
sources. The charge for the land Is
nominal. The only, zeal charge Is for
water. This varies from 70 cents TO
s. a acre. If weather conditions are
good these contract-farmers should
make a good profit. As practically all
these lands depend upon irrigation,
weather conditions are not of prime
Importance. The Reclamation Service
will have a big part in winning the
war, II it lasts another year"

COOPERATIVE STORE
PLANNED BY CITIZENS
Residents Along Connecticut Ave
nue. Complain of High De-
livery Charges.

The Connecticut Avenue Citizens
Association Is planning cooperative
store.
Along a stretch of three miles, way
out the Connecticut avenue car line,
there are 100 families and only one or
two stores, and the families complain
OF the Inconvenience and the high
delivery charges.
The Connecticut Avenue Citizens
Association talked over the matter
of cooperative store, and a COM
mittee last night. headed by Simon L.
Nye, submitted a report on a pro-
posed store that looked so good to the
association that 1t was ordered to go
ahead with specific plans.
The idea is to form a stock COM
pany, with 5000 capital. The only
snag in the way is the location Of the
store. The association has 800 mem
bers, and these have tentatively sub
scribed for the greater part OF the
issue Of stock.
While the men members of the Asso-
citation talked over the plans for the
store the wives of the members, IN an
