IN A MINOR KEY Kentucky distillers are making preparations for the exportation of 20,000 barrels of whisky to Hamburg and Bremen for storage purposes. It is principally of crop of 1903. This will be the largest exportation since 1897, when an immense amount of whisky was about to be forced out of bond. The whisky to be sent abroad is intended largely for the trade in California and other Western states. Distillers have found it costs less to send whisky to Bremen and Hamburg and ship it from there to San Francisco by way of Cape Horn than it costs to ship it from Louisville to San Francisco by rail. When the news arrived at Manila by cable that Secretary Root of the war department would be forced to resign the portfolio by his duties as a member of the Alaskan boundary commission, about to meet in London, his resignation to take effect under certain conditions in December next, if not sooner, a reception was taking place at the palace in honor of Maj. Gen. George W. Davis, until recently in command of the division of the Philippines, and now on the retired list. Governor Taft, who was present, when shown the statement contained in this dispatch that he would succeed Secretary Root upon his conferring his conference with the President about currency legislation: "No bill has been drafted or agreed upon, and none will be until after the fullest consultation with our Democratic associates of the subcommittee and all members of the finance committee. "It is, however, our purpose to have the bill ready for presentation to the senate at the beginning of the extra session, if one is called in October or November. We are hopeful that a bill can be agreed upon and reported that will receive the approval of both houses of congress and afford prompt and efficient relief to the business interests of the whole country." The conference with the President at Sagamore Hill, which lasted until an early hour in the morning recently, developed the important possibility that the fifty-eighth congress may be convened in extra session in October. Two specific poses, which will be named in the President's proclamation, are to make effective the reciprocity treaty with Cuba, which was ratified by the Senate at the last session, and to enact remedial currency legislation. A repetition of the currency stringency of last year, when Secretary Shaw found it necessary to take extraordinary measures to avert a panic, might make so apparent to the whole country the defects in the present financial system as to render urgent need of remedial legislation a sufficient warrant for calling an extra session at an earlier date than small hours of morning. The whole subject of financial legislation at the approaching session of Congress was discussed thoroughly. At 7:30 in the morning the members of the committee left Sagamore Hill, on their yacht Virginia, and sailed for Providence on their return to Senator Aldrich's home. One fact of district importance was developed at the conference. While an extraordinary session of congress next fall is assured, it has not been determined definitely whether it will be called to meet in October or in November. It is supposed that the extraordinary session will convene on Monday, November 9th, but the indications now are that it will be called for an earlier date; perhaps several weeks earlier. The primary purpose of the extraordinary session will be to enact legislation making operative the Cuban reciprocity treaty, but financial legislation also will be pressed upon the attention of congress soon after it convenes. It can be said that the finance committee will draft no measure formally and conclusively until consultations have been held with other members of the committee—Democrats as well as Republicans—and with members of the house and with the best authorities on finance in the country. It is the desire of the committee to be constantly in touch with the President, with members of the house, with bankers of the West as well as those of the East, and with country bankers as well as city bankers, so that some plan of legislation may a member of the Alaskan boundary commission, about to meet in London, his resignation to take effect under certain conditions in December next, if not sooner, a reception was taking place at the palace in honor of Maj. Gen. George W. Davis, until recently in command of the division of the Philippines, and now on the retired list. Governor Taft, who was present, when shown the statement contained in this dispatch that he would succeed Secretary Root upon his retirement, laughingly replied that the report was untrue. Later, when a second message was received confirming an alleged offer of the appointment, the governor denied the statement in similar terms. Governor OdeLL, who has just returned from a tour of the Pacific Coast, says the people outside of Wall street are too busy with big crops and other business to pay any attention to the recent flurry and failures. “There is no sign of panic anywhere except in the East,” he says. “In the West there is plenty of money and plenty of plain, common sense. Business is good, crops are abundant and money cheap everywhere I have been. The excitement and demoralization of the East are regarded with indifference in the great, busy, productive West,” he continued. “Of course I found labor strikes in the West, as in the East, but they were strikes for higher wages and shorter hours, not strikes against lower wages, which are signs of bad times. That is a very important fact to remember just now.” A verdict of acquittal at San Diego some days ago ended the prosecution of Capt. A. J. Thomas of Ocean Beach on the charge of selling liquor without a license. The Antisaloon League instituted the charge and after Capt. Thomas' arrest had his place, which is eight miles from San Diego, raided by officers with a search warrant. Liquor was found and seized. Capt. Thomas promptly entered suit for damages in the sum of $11,000, against those involved in the seizure, including the justice who issued the search warrant, on the ground that the warrant was, through errors in specification, illegal authority for the forcible entrance of his house and the removal of his property. Police officers who had made the seizure immediately returned the liquor to the house. Capt. Thomas, acquitted of the charge made against him declares make effective the reciprocity treaty with Cuba, which was ratified by the Senate at the last session, and to enact remedial currency legislation. A repetition of the currency stringency of last year, when Secretary Shaw found it necessary to take extraordinary measures to avert a panic, might make so apparent to the whole country the defects in the present financial system as to render urgent need of remedial legislation a sufficient warrant for calling an extra session at an earlier date than has been anticipated. Under the heading, "Why Not Senator Cockrell?" Bryan says in the current issue of his Commoner, "Why Not Francis Marion Cockrell of Missouri for President? His christian character, his long experience, his great ability, and his unquestioned integrity make him worthy to be considered among those eligible to a Democratic nomination. As one who has been in harmony with his party on every question he would be acceptable to the Kansas City platform Democrats and yet what reorganizer could find a personal objection to him? His long service would disarm criticism, and his popularity would spread as he became known. He is 69 years of age, but young enough for service yet. His service in the Confederate Army would not weaken him." Following the laudation of the Missouri senator, Bryan criticised the mention of Senator Gorman as a presidential possibility. The extent to which this circulating medium of the United States has been expanded in recent years is one of the marvels of the time. The monthly circulation statement just issued by the treasury department shows that the general stock of money of all sorts in the country on August 1, 1903, was $2,695,440,174, which was a gain of $7,290,553 in the month. The amount of the money in actual circulation on August 1st was $2,382,018,495, a gain of nearly $6,000,000 in the month and of over $121,000,000 in twelve months. On the basis of the estimated population of the country on August 1st there was a per capita circulation of $29.55, which is the highest figure ever touched. In the middle of 1896, at the time of Bryan's reign of terror, the per capita circulation was $21.10. It has, with a few minor interruptions, been increasing ever since. Bryan's defeat in November, 1896, sent the circulation up above the point at draft no measure formally and conclusively until consultations have been held with other members of the committee—Democrats as well as Republicans—and with members of the house and with the best authorities on finance in the country. It is the desire of the committee to be constantly in touch with the President, with members of the house, with bankers of the West as well as those of the East, and with country bankers as well as city bankers, so that some plan of legislation may be formed by the opening of the extraordinary session of congress. It is the hope of the committee to devise a genuinely elastic currency system—a system that will expand when the necessity shall arise and contract when the necessity shall have ceased to exist. Senator Aldrich, when asked by an Associated Press representative with reference to the visit of the senators to the President, said: "The Republican members of the sub-committee talked with the President about financial conditions and the need of legislation. No bill has been drafted or agreed upon, and none will be until after the consultation with our Democratic associates of the sub-committee and all members of the finance committee. "It is, however, our purpose to have a bill in readiness for presentation to the senate at the beginning of the extra session, if one shall be called, in October or November. We are hopeful that a bill can be agreed upon and reported that will receive the approval of both houses of Congress and afford prompt and efficient relief to the business interests of the whole country." and seized. Capt. Thomas promptly entered suit for damages in the sum of $11,000, against those involved in the seizure, including the justice who issued the search warrant, on the ground that the warrant was through errors in specification, illegal authority for the forcible entrance of his house and the removal of his property. Police officers who had made the seizure immediately returned the liquor to the house. Capt. Thomas, acquitted of the charge made against him, declares he will prosecute his suits for damages. Instead of proceeding to the northwest the hurricane, the fringe of which struck the western end of Jamaica this week, which it was thought had passed, veered to the south and struck Jamaica with its full force, inflicting damage which it will take years to repair. Owing to the interruption of telegraphic communication it is impossible as yet to estimate the losses, but they must reach millions of dollars. Every banana plantation in the eastern half of the island has been devastated. Much damage was done to property in Kingston and the suburbs. The roof of the electric light works was blown off and the machinery disabled. Railroad traffic was interrupted and the street cars were stopped. Many houses were damaged by falling trees. No loss of life is yet reported. Two national delegates who were elected at the Republican county convention at Wilkesbarre, Pa., last week, were the first in the country to be instructed for President Roosevelt. They were directed to use all means to procure his nomination. Senator Aldrich made this statement at Oyster Bay this week con- $6,000,000 in the month and of over $121,000,000 in twelve months. On the basis of the estimated population of the country on August 1st there was a per capita circulation of $29.55, which is the highest figure ever touched. In the middle of 1896, at the time of Bryan's reign of terror, the per capita circulation was $21.10. It has, with a few minor interruptions, been increasing ever since. Bryan's defeat in November, 1896, sent the circulation up above the point at which it rested in the early days of his canvass, when there was some dread that he would carry the country. It went up again just after the Republicans entered power in March 1897. The general tendency has been upward ever since, though there was a decline several times in those years, but only slightly, and for a few weeks at a time. The $29.55 at which the circulation stood at the beginning of the present month will probably be exceeded at the beginning of September. The chances are that the $30 point in the expansion will be reached before the end of the calendar year 1903. Moreover, not only has the circulation increased much faster than the population, which is also growing rapidly these days, but the gold ingredient of it is growing much faster than the rest of the currency. Of course, in these days of Republican financial stability and prosperity, all sorts of currency are as good as gold, but it is well to keep the fact in mind that the gold element of the circulating medium is far more abundant than it ever was before. Nobody is now saying that the currency is not adequate to the demands of trade. The President's conference with the sub-committee of the senate finance committee at Oyster Bay this week was not concluded until the Col. Me de recently requested that he be retired at an advanced grade. The law does not permit officers in the marine corps to be retired with advanced rank, but the President approved Meade's application for retirement. Displeased that both his requests had not been granted it is understood that Col. Meade addressed another letter to the department requesting that his application be withdrawn, and charging among other things, that the condition for his retirement had been ignored. The acting secretary recommended to the President that Col. Meade be allowed to withdraw his application for his retirement and that he be relieved in accordance with the law on his sixty-second birthday. The President promptly approved the recommendation of Acting Secretary Darling and the necessary order has been issued. Three of the senators present at Oyster Bay at a recent conference are members of the senate committee on relations with Cuba—Platthe chairman, Aldrich and Spooner All of them, particularly Platt, who has made a profound study of the situation in Cuba, regards the necessity for the enactment of the Cuban treaty legislation as very urgent. The President entertains the same views. It is understood that this sug estion of an extraordinary session of congress at a date earlier than November 9th, was made by these senators because of the urgence of the Cuban legislation. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw and Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock will visit President Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill shortly., The statement is made that the call on the secretaries is not significant, being made merely for the purpose of discussing departmental business with the President. 1903. NUMBER 43 ROOSEVELT ON IRRIGATION Endorsing Eleventh National Irrigation Congress—Extract of His Speech at Ogden, May 29th Mr. Mayor, Senator Smoot, and you, my fellow citizens, men and women of Ogden, Utah—It is a great pleasure to come before you this afternoon, and if I needed, which I do not, a vindication of what was done in irrigation, I would appeal to the experience of the people who have made so marvelous a success of irrigation in this beautiful valley. What you have succeeded in doing with sugar beets alone is sufficient to show the wisdom of trying to develop in every way the irrigated agriculture of the country, and I was more pleased than I can say to have been able to render any aid whatsoever in putting upon the national statute books a law which I consider second in beneficence to none connected with our internal development since the homestead law was passed. IRRIGATION PARAMOUNT QUESTION I am delighted that the National Irrigation Congress is to be held here next fall, and I congratulate the State of Utah upon the fact that its legislature was the first ever to pass an appropriation for such a congress. There can be nothing of greater importance to the welfare and growth of our country during the half century that is opening than this question of irrigation. It is of vital consequence to the growth of all the States of the Rocky Mountains and immediately to either side; and anything that is of such consequence to one portion of our country is necessarily of consequence to all. I cannot with too much emphasis say that every wise and patriotic man will favor any scheme for the betterment of a part of the country, whether it is in his own section or not, because what- FOREIGN WALNUTS ARE POOR Consular Reports Showing Condition of Crops in Various Localities. The State Board of Horticulture has favored us with a copy of the following consular reports on walnuts: Report of the U. S. Consul, C. P. H. Nason, Grenoble, France, on the walnut crop, July 25, 1903. Pursuant to instructions that reports be made during maturing season, of the walnutrop of this region, I beg to submit the following on the nature and prospects of the crop at the present date. This year's crop of walnuts in the valley of the Isere (France) promised to be an exceedingly good one—large in quantity and rich in quality. The trees are fresh and healthy in appearance, and bountifully laden with fruit. The young nuts, now about the size of ripe plums, are well formed and in a very normal state. It is, however, much too early in the season to attempt an estimate of the probable yield, because of the variable weather conditions which may obtain before the ultimate harvest. Our heat or cold or a super-abundance of rain during mid-summer may affect the crop, while a severe hall storm may in a few hours damage it most seriously. Thus far the season has been favorable, and experts state that if normal weather conditions prevail until harvesting time, the crop will be a third larger than that of last year, and of excellent quality. In justice to the growers of nuts hereabouts and to the buyers and consumers in the United States, I deem it proper to draw attention to the unsatisfactory conditions existing in the matter of early foreign shipments of walnuts, as brought to my notice by a delegation of walnut growers. They state that at the beginning of a the hope of the committee to genuinely elastic currency in system that will expand necessity shall arise and when the necessity shall need to exist. Aldrich, when asked by elected Press representative reference to the visit of the President, said: "Republican members of the committee talked with the about financial conditions need of legislation. No bill drafted or agreed upon, will be until after the con- with our Democratic ass- of the sub-committee and members of the finance com- however, our purpose to deal in readiness for presenta- the senate at the beginning of a session, if one shall be October or November. Hopeful that a bill can be soon and reported that will be approval of both houses and afford prompt and belief to the business inter- whole country." The President, Col. Meade of the United Marine Corps, will be retired 3rd next, in his present because of a disrespectful which Col. Meade addressed every department, the Presi- advantage of the law provides that when an officer of marine corps shallached the age of 62 years be retired on his own request, order of the President. He de recently requested he retired at an advanced The law does not permit him in the marine corps to be with advanced rank, but the approved Meade's appli-er retirement. Displeased with his requests had not been it is understood that Col. Meaded another letter to propriation for such a congress. There can be nothing of greater importance to the welfare and growth of our country during the half century that is opening than this question of irrigation. It is of vital consequence to the growth of all the States of the Rocky Mountains and immediately to either side; and anything that is of such consequence to one portion of our country is necessarily of consequence to all. I cannot with too much emphasis say that every wise and patriotic man will favor any scheme for the betterment of a part of the country, whether it is in his own section or not, because whatever helps a part of us, in the long run helps all. ALL STAND TOGETHER. Fundamentally, we go up or down together. Prosperity does not stop at state lines, and neither does adversity. When prosperity comes, while it may come unequally, yet it comes somewhat to all; and when adversity comes, while some will suffer more than others, yet all must suffer somewhat. The greatest lesson which the American body politic need to take to heart at the beginning of the twentieth century is that it is out of the question permanently for our people to progress save on lines that tell for the progression of all; that you cannot raise permanently one section by depressing another, one class by depressing another, and the man is recant to the principle of our government no less to the welfare of our people who seeks to arouse any feeling among Americans against his fellow Americans, whether he makes his appeal in the fancied interest of a section or in the fancied interest of a class. We can go up—as we shall go—only by each of us keeping in mind not merely his own rights, but his duties to his neighbors, meaning by neighbor every man living in this broad land. The safe motto on which to act is the motto: Not of "some men down" but of "all men," and therefore I feel that it was not merely my privilege but my duty, to ask the National Government—the Government representing the people of the entire nation—to do all in its power for the furtherance of the interest of those states whose success is largely dependent upon the application of the principles of irrigation. MUST HELP YOURSELF And now you know the proverb, "The Lord helps those who help themselves." If you throw all the duty of helping you on the Lord, He will throw it back on you. Now, it is the same way with your fellow men. Providence is net going to do everything for you, and the National Government cannot. All that the National Government can do is try to give you a fair show to help you to the chance of doing your work under favorable conditions, and then the work has got to be done by you yourselves. SUCCESS OF THE CONGRESS. And as one step toward doing that work, I hope most earnestly that you and all other states in interest will push forward and will in every way endeavor to make the meeting of the Irritating Congress here in Oregon succeeds. In justice to the growers of nuts hereabouts and to the buyers and consumers in the United States, I deem it proper to draw attention to the unsatisfactory conditions existing in the matter of early foreign shipments of walnuts, as brought to my notice by a delegation of walnut growers. They state that at the beginning of a nut season, the fruit is for the most part shipped prematurely, that is, before it has been properly dried and put in condition to bear the sea voyage, and that as a consequence it reached its destination in too many instances greatly deteriorated in quality. It is thus that the American buyers who handle the nuts and those who consume them are dissatisfied, while at the same time the quality and "good name" of the Grenoble Walnuts (so-called) are discredited. They say that it is impossible to ship dry nuts which shall arrive in good condition before the 10th or 15th of November; but as buyers clamor for earlier shipments, by the end of October or 1st of November—the nuts are sent as they are, that is, imperfectly dried and quite unfit for transportation. Nuts that have been hastily and artificially dried and which, when put in sacks, appear sound and good especially after a process of sulphuration, are not so in reality. Closely packed, they take en route to "sweating." The moisture in the interior which cannot be thoroughly eliminated by artificial drying, comes to the surface and causes the exterior of the nuts to become mouldy, and the kernels to acquire a strong and musty flavor,—thus prejudicing their value for table use. All this could be avoided, growers say, if buyers in America would be a little more patient and wait the necessary time for the drying to be properly done. In which case, all parties concerned would reap more benefit and have little ground for dissatisfaction. As it is, every one is eager to be first in receiving consignments, with results herein described. In years when the crop is precocious it is possible to make shipments about, but not earlier, than the 1st of November. As the crop, this year, it is expected, will be some ten days later than usual in maturing, shipments to be made with safety, should not begin before the tenth of November. New Exhibit Hall Articles for the Chamber of Commerce exhibit at Santa Ana are being rapidly put in shape for the opening of the hall to the public, an event which the directors of the chamber hope to accomplish before the 1st of September. Shelving for the Anabheim and Orange exhibits have been put in place says a County Seat correspondent, and the exhibits proper from these places and Fullerton are due to arrive this week. The tower for the Taylor Fruit Company's display of canned fruits, maralades and pickles is also in readiness, and the Olive Milling company's exhibit is being placed.

And as one step toward doing that work, I hope most earnestly that you and all the other states in interest will push forward and will in every way endeavor to make the meeting of the Irrigation Congress here in Ogden a success. And I say that, not merely in the interest of the states which are to be benefitted by irrigation, but in the interest of the Union, I want to see the work of irrigation made the greatest possible success. Distillate Spraying "Spraying with distillates" is the title of an agricultural bulletin just issued by the University of California experiment station dealing with an extended series of investigations on the effects of spraying fruit trees with oils. Granges have suffered particularly in past years on account of spotting, and although the friction and fumigation are both responsible for some of this injury, the greatest loss has been through injudicious spraying with distillates, hence the study of the subject with the most searching scientific methods. W. H. Vlock of the experiment station entomological staff has been cooperating with the Los Angeles Horticultural Commissioners. He still urges that further work with oils be undertaken, in order to determine their effect on plants under carefully-determined condition.

The tower for the Taylor Fruit Company's display of canned fruits, marmalades and pickles is also in readiness, and the Olive Milling company's exhibit is being placed. Progress on the unique miniature model of the Capistrano Mission is being made by M. Wagenheim of Capistrano. As representative of fruits and grains of the county, a large number of selected jars of fruit have already been processed and are ready for placing when the hall is finished, while grains in sheaf and bulk have been gathered. A registration booth for visitors, rest rooms, and the secretary's office, with information bureau and literature advertising this section, will be located in the hall. Lost Bustle Word has been received by Union Pacific offices that the missing bustle in which $7500 had been sewed by Mrs. Lucy Van Clerke of Shawnee, Kan., and which she supposed she had dropped from a train while en route to St. Paul, Minn., had been found. Mrs. Van Clerke, in the hurry of leaving home, had forgotten the valuable article and returned home just in time to save it from being burned as rubbish by new tenants of her house.
