City Cousin—How does that come about? Village Cousin—Why, you see, he has kept a diary continuously since '871, conscientiously and methodically jotting down from time to time all the important and unimportant happenings, episodes and incidents in our village life, marriages, births, the state of the weather, condition of the crops, what So-and-so paid for such and such a house, and so on and so forth, including the gist of everybody's political utterances. And whenever the revered oldest inhabitant says that this is the coldest, hottest, wettest or driest season in ten years, or a lady makes an assertion regarding her age, or some one declares he paid a certain sum for his property, or a local politician cries out that he has always worked for the success of some particular party and never scratch-ed his ticket; the man with the diary pulls out his little book and calmly calls them down, as if it was his bounden duty to do so—Boston Journal.

Sarsaparilla (to the Commodore, over the 'phone)—Say, Horace, I want to see you; I want to have a talk with you. The two having had a scrap in the postoffice not so many days before, the Commodore was a bit offish as to the meeting. “What do you want to see me for?” he asked. Sars.—I want to consolidate the two daily papers. Hor.—Go to; you and your gang have been trying to do me for, lo! these many moons, and, faith, here I am yet; the Blade is still alive, and making a little money and we are having lots of fun.

Some success has been reached in Arizona heretofore, but considerable fault was found with the experiments there because they did not reproduce the conditions under which dates grow in their own habitats. The Agricultural department of the United States and the Agricultural department of the University of California are to co-operate in the coming work. A date tree should have its feet in water and its head in sunshine. Numerous localities in Southern California reproduce these conditions exactly, and it is believed that the possibilities of date culture under proper conditions are proportionately as encouraging as those of other fruits. Some time ago an attempt was made with cuttings taken from Arizona, but they were not satisfactory, and much of the disappointing growth was attributed to been drawn up, informally a reed by this government and approved by the government at St. Petersburg. It is predicted in Washington that before long there will be a perfect understanding between Washington and St. Petersburg on all disputes that have arisen of late, and that the understanding will be embodied in a new commercial treaty between the two governments. In that treat the United States will have to make but very slight concessions to Russian business interests, and in return it will get larger fields of opportunity in all Russia, including Manchuria and Siberia where the field for American machinery to be used in railroading, mining and oil production, is almost limitless. The diplomatic victory, however is with Russia; the American victory being one purely of business. He throwing open the two ports in Manchuria to the United States, Russia gets indirectly an American assent her ownership of Manchuria. Moreover, because China has assented to the arrangement, and will, in a probability, as seen through Washington eyes, stop the protest of Japan against Russian occupancy of Manchuria. It is admitted at the Department of State that it was particularly agreed between Secretary Hay and Count Cassini at their conference, so long ago as June 28, that Manchuria would be opened to the United States, and at that conference also there was an agreement in relation to the murder of Jews by Russian mobs.

What's the other condition? Sars.—That the paper be a prohibition organ. Hor.—Not on your life; nit, never. Another brief interval. They meet again, Sarsaparilla having in the meantime relented about the prohibition part of the bargain. Hor.—Well, how much do you want for it? Sars.—Ten thousand dollars with the Merganthaler in, or $7000 with it out. Hor.—I'll give you $4000 without the machine. Sarsaparilla fell over dead. When he was revived the deal was closed at $5600.

The Geological Survey is also in need of a consulting engineer paying the same salary. Examinations will be held August 1st. Several dairy inspectors are wanted in the Department of Agriculture, and eight men will be paid from $1500 to $1800 a year. They will be required to possess full information on the manufacture and trade of butter, cheese and milk, and to have had practical experience in handling dairy products. Examinations for these positions will be held August 1st. An assistant chemist is wanted in the Geological survey at salary of $1200 a year.

Numerous localities in Southern California reproduce these conditions exactly, and it is believed that the possibilities of date culture under proper conditions are proportionately as encouraging as those of other fruits. Some time ago an attempt was made with cuttings taken from Arizona, but they were not satisfactory, and much of the disappointing growth was attributed to poor cuttings. This time the government is going to Africa to select cuttings and study carefully the conditions under which the trees grow best. These conditions will be reproduced as nearly as possible, and good results are expected. As a result of the investigation of the postal service, a change in the method of investigating routes for proposed rural free delivery service has gone into operation by order of Postmaster-General Payne. Under the new scheme routes will be investigated by States, irrespective of Congress District lines, as heretofore. This is in line with the recent declaration of Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General Bristow that petitions for routes will be investigated in the order of their filing, the oldest petition receiving the first consideration in every state. There are now 15,000 petitions for additional routes pending in the Postoffice department, and substantially every representative in congress is being pressed by his constituents to secure expedition in their investigation and establishment. The United States treasurer has received a requisition from the subtreasure at San Francisco for $5000 in nickels and $2000 in one-cent pieces. From any part of the country except the Pacific Coast this demand would not have attracted more than passing notice. The requisition received today is the first of its kind during Mr. Roberts' long connection with the treasury. No information was obtainable here as to the cause of the demand, but Mr. Roberts believes the big department stores are directly responsible. He predicts that newspapers from the Coast will contain advertisements of special sales on articles such as the big Eastern and Middle West stores are accustomed to listing at prices ending in odd cents... Complete success of the State Delation against Russian occupancy of Mariachuria. It is admitted at the Department of State that it was particularly agreed between Secretariat Hay and Count Cassini at their conference, so long ago as June 28, that Manchuria would be opened to the United States, and at that conference also there was an agreement in relation to the murder of Jews by Russian mobs. It is now the understanding that the protest of American Jews against Russia will be forwarded by the President to Russia, and that the incident will be dropped immediately thereafter, and will not become more than an international incident which has passed away. Incidentally, it will be made known to the people of the United States that Russia is not engaged in vigorous prosecution by the leaders of anti-Jewish mobs. Some interesting information looked for from Admiral Barker in few days, in the report of the cruisers of the North Atlantic squadron to Azores. Apparently there was nothing spectacular or unusual about this visit to the islands on the other side of the Atlantic, but, as a matter of fact, it was a voyage of decided important character. It was made under conditions similar to those that would exist in war times, and was made for the purpose of furnishing the department with information regarding the requirements of 2000-mile cruise to a foreign shore port. Very little has been said about this feature of the cruise of the North Atlantic squadron, and even now, the higher officials of the department, those who are responsible for the general policies of the service, discourage all public discussion of the matter. When the task of sending the North Atlantic squadron to Europe was first begun, it was proposed to send it to Lisbon. That it was suggested that the trip made under war conditions, or other words, that the fleet carry its base with it, and depend on auxiliary supplies for supplies. Plans were also cordially developed to carry out this idea, but in some way or other the news of the experiment leak out, and for fear of offending some of the European powers, the program was changed. It was thought unwise to let it known that our strongest fleet was being sent to Europe, apparently a complimentary and friendly mission, but in reality under condition that would prevail in event of war...

NUMBER 39 FASCINATING SUBJECT OF THE FORESTS Railroads of the Country Will Propagate Trees for Supply of Ties—Scarcity of Hardwood to be Met by Seasoning Softer Varieties. WASHINGTON, July 7, 1903. The bureau of forestry has continued this year on a far larger scale the experiments in timber seasoning and preservation for the railroads which it began last year under Dr. Hermann von Schrenk. This summer the work will be carried on in many states—East, South and West—and will be broadened in scope and made even more thorough than before. This work will be done for the New York Central, the Erie, the Baltimore and Ohio, and the Pennsylvania railroads in the East; and for the Illinois Central, the Santa Fe, the St. Louis and the Missouri, Kansas and Texas; the Northern Pacific, and the Burlington in the South and West. The scarcity of valuable timbers is felt by no class of consumers more keenly than by the railroads, which use every year 110,000,000 ties merely to renew those worn out and decayed. The price of timbers has risen in some instances to a figure which makes their use prohibitive; in other cases the supply is so nearly exhausted that the roads have been compelled to look about for new timbers. The bureau of forestry has been called on to assist in solving the difficulty, and has come forward with the very practical and simple suggestion that the railroads, instead of continuing to use expensive, high-grade timbers for such a low-grade purpose as that of railroad ties, shall use the cheaper woods. For example, to the complaint of the New York Central that it finds it more and more difficult road experiments is being carried on for the American Telegraph and Telephone company, which used last year 150,000 telephone poles and 3,000,000 feet of timber in cross-arms. Seasoning experiments are being conducted on chestnut poles near Harrisburg, Pa., and on cedar poles near Wilmington, N.C. Important and valuable as the work is to the railroad and telegraph companies, it is of far greater importance and value to the country at large. The use of cheaper timbers for railroad ties in several ways an economic saving; it relieves the high-grade timbers of a part of the heavy demand that is being made upon them, opens a market for timbers for which there is now little sale, and affords splendid opportunities for conservative management of timber lands. The work is being prosecuted according to the regular cooperative system of the bureau, by which the field and traveling expenses of the agents are paid by thoseork is done. Calery Planting Celery planting in the peatlands began this week. The fields present a busy scene with the gaugs of planters of all ages, sexes and nationalities, who are pressed into service during this busy season. About 70 percent of the crop will be of the Golden self-blanching variety, and the remainder largely of the White Plumc. A good planter will set from 8000 to 10,000 plants a day, although the average is considerably less. It is estimated that the acreage will be less than last year. 2000 acres being planted, while there were nearly 2500 last season. The Celery Growers' association, which controls a large portion of the output, will be represented by C. F. Heil in the Los Angeles offices of the California Vegetable union. Mr. Heil was the former secretary of the association. W. E. Gilbert will be in Chicago to attend. now the understanding that most of American Jews to be forwarded by the intent to Russia, and that the in will be dropped immediately after and will not become more international incident which passed away. Incidentally, it made known to the people of United States that Russia is now in vigorous prosecution of leaders of anti-Jewish mobs. interesting information is far from Admiral Barker in a miss, in the report of the cruise North Atlantic squadron to the Apparently there was not spectacular or unusual about it to the islands on the other Atlantic, but, as a matter it was a voyage of decidedly ant character. It was made conditions similar to those would exist in war times, and made for the purpose of furnishing the department with informing the requirements of a safe cruise to a foreign shore or little has been said about nature of the cruise of the Atlantic squadron, and even the higher officials of the deathe those who are responsible general policies of the sercoourage all public discuss the matter. When the talking the North Atlantic squad Europe was first begun, it was used to send it to Lisbon. Then suggested that the trip be under war conditions, or, in words, that the fleet carry its with it, and depend on auxiliary supplies. Plans were acctly developed to carry out this, but in some way or other ways of the experiment leaked for fear of offending some European powers, the process changed. It thought unwise to let it be that our strongest fleet was sent to Europe, apparently on military and friendly misattent in reality under conditions would prevail in event of war instances to a figure which makes their use prohibitive; in other cases the supply is so nearly exhausted that the roads have been compelled to look about for new timbera. The bureau of forestry has been called on to assist in solving the difficulty, and has come forward with the very practical and simple suggestion that the railroads, instead of continuing to use expensive, high-grade timbers for such a low-grade purpose as that of railroad ties, shall use the cheaper woods. For example, to the complaint of the New York Central that it finds it more and more difficult to secure longleaf-pine ties from Georgia at the price it can afford to pay, the bureau suggests that the road use the beech, maple and birch of Adirondacks. The complaint that the timbers rot very quickly when laid in the ground is answered by the suggestion that they should be seasoned and preserved, just as beech is seasoned and preserved in France. The Great Eastern Railroad of France has succeeded in making beech ties last 35 years by impregnating them with tar oils. The unseasoned longleaf-pine ties used by the New York Central last only five years; and the beech if laid green, without seasoning or preserving would in many cases last no more than three years. The substance of the proposal which the bureau has made to the railroads, and which the railroads have thought so well of as to adopt is that experiments be made to determine whether cheaper timbers may be treated with preservatives at a cost so low and be made to last such a long time, that it will pay to substitute them for the more expensive timbers now employed. The railroads have thought so well of these ideas that they will not carry on under the bureau's direction the necessary experiments in seasoning and preserving, but have engaged the bureau's help in learning where cheap timbers for ties may be obtained. In other words, the railroads have decided that if they can be convinced that it will pay to season and preserve cheap timbers for ties, they will acquire large areas of timber lands on which they will grow their own trees, cut their own ties, and thus be assured of a steady supply. This means that some of the great railroads of the country are in a fair way to practice forestry on a very large scale, and to employ a great many foresters. The present method of purchasing railroad ties cannot long continue. It is becoming more and more hazardous to rely on what may be obtained on the market, for the reason that the market is becoming more and more unwilling to let its timbers go as railroad ties when as sawed lumber they would bring a higher price. Eastern roads often have to haul their ties as far as 700 miles. It is absolutely necessary that supplies be grown nearer home and that there be a certainty of how much can be obtained. A railroad that needs half a million tons on short notice must have those ties at any price and is often compelled to pay far more than they are worth. The crop will be of the Golden self-blanching variety, and the remainder largely of the White Plume. A good planter will set from 8000 to 10,000 plants a day, although the average is considerably less. It is estimated that the acreage will be less than last year. 2000 acres being planted, while there were nearly 2500 last season. The Celery Growers' association, which controls a large portion of the output, will be represented by C. F. Heil in the Los Angeles offices of the California Vegetable union. Mr. Hell was the former secretary of the association. W. E. Gilbert will be in Chicago to attend to association interests there. George W. Moore, president of the association, has been selected a member of the executive committee, whose duties are to determine the prices and direct shipping. The season promises on the whole to be a prosperous one and good prices are anticipated. Aguirre Goes The State Board of Prison directors, at an executive meeting on Saturday in San Francisco unanimously decided on John W. Tompkins, ex-chief of police and ex-city clerk of Oakland, for warden of the State's prison of San Quentin. He will be formally elected at a meeting of the board to be held in time for him to qualify and succeed Warden Martin Aguirre on September 1st. At Saturday's meeting of the board of directors Fitzinger, chairman; Wilkins, Ray and Felton were present. Shortly before noon Director Fitzgerald went to the telephone and called Tompkins, who was near by. Tompkins appeared five minutes later, and was immediately ushered into the presence of the directors. After a private talk of twenty minutes, Tompkins emerged from the room. He referred the newspaper men to the directors, who thereon gave out a verbal statement to the effect that the Oaklander had been made the unimous choice of the board. He will probably be elected next Saturday. Until he assumes office on September 1st, he will spend most of his time at San Quentin, acquainting himself with the duties of the office. Interstate Drill An official of the War department has said that if the State military authorities of California, Oregon and Washington would get together and start the movement, that the United States government would gladly cooperate with them in having an interstate militia drill at some point to be agreed upon, say the Presidio, San Francisco, or Vancouver barracks, some time during the coming fall. This remark was made in a way that showed that the Federal authorities are anxious to have the Pacific Coast States take full advantage of the opportunities offered them by the Federal Government to organize and maintain efficient military organizations. It is true that there have been suggestions before this that the three Pacific Coast States join together for an interstate meet, but it has never before Plans were actually developed to carry out the work, but in some way or other, laws of the experiment leaked for fear of offending some European powers, the process changed. It was thought unwise to let it be that our strongest fleet was meant to Europe, apparently misguided in reality under conditions would prevail in event of war on the United States and a naval power. Accordingly Lisbon dropped out of the itinerary to Azores was made the oblique point. Three colliers, Le Caesar and Alexander, were sent to the fleet to carry coal on a trip over and back, so that vessels would be severely indebted of private supplies. Well! Well! [Redlands Citrograph.] We expected, the Anaheim Gaurs to and spanks us for suggesting that the people of Orange would do a good thing for them by returning Senator Caldwell another term. And, as we exalso, it says it has candidates own for the place. But all the sites are not blinded to their best use by selfish or personal motives. Brain Dealer says: We esteemed contemporary, the GA discredits itself in making war Senator Caldwell for a second time. He has done gallant service for people of this senatorial district. Should be returned, and, we may well be if the people are alive to hast interests, and we think they plain Dealer is right, as it frees is, and the GAZETTE is wrong. Quently is. We predict the re-Senator Caldwell. City Assessor Dutton having completed the work of assessing for the next year, has gone with his wife children for an outing at San Antonio springs. An expert of the bureau is now cruising in the Adrlondacks to determine how much available hardwood lands are along the New York Central's tracks. Similar work will be done for the Erie and the Pennsylvania. A party of foresters is on the 60,000 acre tract of the Baltimore and Ohio road near Camden-on-Gauley, W. Va., to determine how much tie timber there is on the tract and how many trees it will produce every year under conservative management. Seasoning experiments with railroad ties are being conducted in co-operation with the Santa Fe Railroad and the Kirby Lumber company at Silsbee, Tex., and the ties are being treated with preservatives at Somerville, Tex. The timbers undergoing the experiments are longleaf, loblolly, and short-leaf pines. All along the lines of the Illinois Central and the St. Louis and San Francisco seasoning experiments are in progress on swamp, red, pin and cow oak and beech and gum. The experiments in seasoning the lodge-pole pine, carried on last year for the Burlington Railroad in Bear Canyon, Montana, and Sheridan, Wyo., have been continued this year. Last year it was found that 39 per cent to the weight of the ties was lost by open-drying, which resulted in an enormous saving in freight. Work of a similar nature to the rail-operate with them in having an inter-state militia drill at some point to be agreed upon, say the Presidio, San Francisco, or Vancouver barracks, some time during the coming fall.
