SETTLEMENT PROBABLE.

Yesterdays daily papers contained
dispatches indicating that settle
ment of the strike of the shop crafts
was being entered into by many of
the railroads with their men. The
Great Northern was not mentioned
but it is thought probable that they
will settle at once if the other roads
do, for it would be quite impossible
for this road to hold out in the face
of Il general settlement.
1t was said that the men were to be
returned at their old standing and
with the former rate of wages. The
men are to return within 80 days,
Those guilty of violence will not be
taken back. The strike breakers are
to retain their jobs. Disputes are to
be settled by arbitration.
A dispatch from Pasco says that
the Northern Pacific office there had
dispatch from headquarters telling
officials to pay no attention to rumors
of a settlement, that the strike would
be fought by the company to finish

SUCCESS ATTENDS CONTROL
MEASURE IN PEACH ORCHARDS

One of the best peach crops ever
produced in Georgia has just been har-
vested, it is reported to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Very good progress was made in over
coming the heavy curculio infestation.
All varieties, through to the close of
the Elberta season, have been unusu-
ally free from curculio Larvae.
Careful Investigations of CONNER
cial orchards treated according to the
advice of department and state speci-
alists showed that curculio was not
greater than the average of wormy
peach in each fve-eighths bushel
basket. In these orchards dropped
fruit was picked up and destroyed,
and cultivation for the destruction OF
pupa practiced, in addition to very
thorough spraying.

ment of Agriculture to determine the
agricultural and horticultural posi-
bilities of the territory. An expert
ment station was established shortly
afterwards at Sitka. The visit of the
chief was recently repeated, to learn
at first hand the development that
had taken place in the Intervening %
years.
1t has been fully demonstrated that
Alaskan agriculture can be self-sus-
tanning. There are now five Alaskan
experiment stations-at Sitka, Ram
part, Kodiak, Fairbanks, and Matan-
uska-Which have introduced a num-
Der Of improved variety of hardy
grains including wheat, oats, rye, and
barley, all of which are being success
fully grown on Alaskan farms, as well
as vegetables, fruits, and ornamentals
of various kinds. Theso have aided
settlers materially in increasing their
local food supply and in improving
their home surroundings. Whereas
only two satisfactory ra"dens were
growing in southeastern Alaska in
1897, excellent crops Of radishes.
lettuce, onions, potatoes, peas, beans,
cabbage, caulifloWer, turnip, and other
vegetables are now growing almost
everywhere. In mary places straw
berries, raspberries, currants, and
gooseberries are produced abundantly.
Small diaries have been established
near number OF IL lskan towns. At
Skagway oats and vetch were grown
this year to fill siio for winter feed
for the COWS.
Among the striking Investigations
at the Sitka station are those with
Strawberries and nct2toes. More
than 1000 hybrid strawberries came
into bearing in July, the result of
crosses made with native species and
some cultivated varieties, all having
the characteristic aroma and flavor Of
the coast species parent. The station
hybrid Strawberries are being success
fully grown and producing berries Of
excellent quality, Several hundred
seeding potatoes are being tested to
determine their value for Alaskan
conditions.
In view Of improving trade condi-
tions, the work Of the Alaskan sta
tons may be expected to aid materi-
ally in building up the agriculture of
the territory and in supplying food to
its population.

emerged from the trial a tested artist,
able to understand and to transmit to
her audiences the deepest emotions
and the profoundest thoughts ever
expressed in music.
p AS an artist Miss Morini was, per-

child to the extremes of joy and fear,
of love and hate, of pride and humilia-
ton, which were the portion of every
one living thru the war in Central
Europe. But it is unquestioHable that

Europe absorbed tragedy from the air

Erika Morini, according to those who
know the present condition, is the
forerunner of race of geniuses given
to Europe by the war.
