The first case of smallpox in Westminster
was discovered last night. A young man
named Oscar Crandall, aged 21, attending
tha public school, is the victim. His
father's honse and the whole family have
been quarantined. The sc'iool was
thoroughly fumigated and disinfected,
and the health authorities decided that
•very pupil attending must be vaccinated.
Medical Health Officer Smith was busy all
•fternoon Taccinating. Though it was ex
pected that a scare would follow the an
nouncement that a pupil was affected with
the disease, there was little excitement,
and most o! the parents, after learning
that every precaution had been taken,
sent their children to school again this
afternoon. It is reported tonight that an
other scholar Is affected, but no conlirma
tion can be obtained.
Crandall caught the disease at \an
couver on the queen's birthday.

MODEKATOU IOUNCS UNFAIRNESS.
Defeated the Report of Ilia Own Com
mittee—The I'nlon Hemlnary ('ase.
POBTLAKD, June I.—The reputation
which the moderator of the late
Presbyterian general assembly pained
for fairness of dealing sustained
a shock in his action in
vacating the chair during the discussion
of the theological seminaries committee's
report, and in taking the floor in ad
vocacy of the report substituted by
motion of Mr. Green. The chairman
of the committee is said to have been
much chagrined at his action, and to
have said that never before has a mod
erator taken an active part in
defeating a report mnde by a
committee of his own appointment. The
unusual character of this action was re
marked at the time, and in some quar
ters it has been received as a
blow directed at the extreme views
of the committee. It is to many doubt
ful whether the substitute would have
carried had it not been for this
action. It is also believed that it was con
trary to the wishes of the moderator and
only under seeming compulsion that he
allowed the arbitration resolution to go
through.
One of the surprises of the assembly did
not com* till the next day, when oppor
tunity waa given to see exactly what
action they had taken with regard
to all the seminaries. At an
early stags of the meeting the report of
the minority was voted down with its pro
posal of a committee to inquire into the
matter, to confer with the directors of the
various seminaries and to report
a schema for the establishment of closer
relations between them and the assembly.
When the final resolutions came to
be examined it was found that
they differed from the proposals
of the minority only in the degree which
was expressed by tha word "closer" in re
gard to such relations. Tha arbitra
tion committee, consisting of Dr.
Bmith, of Buffalo; Dr. Agnew and
Elders Junkin of I'hiladelphia, Murray of
New York and Humphrey of Louisville,
contains only one man whose
views are not fairly well de
fined beforehand. The question
which finds expression now is whether
the directors will consider that there is
anything to arbitrate. The final sentence
of their memorial makes it look a* though
they saw nothing of the sort, when they
say:
This
hope that your revorend body may cordially
concur with u* in tuitiullinft the arrangement of
1870, thus restoring Union seminary to its
former relations to tho general assembly.

Fire at Stanwood.
FTASWOOD, June I. —(Special.]— A fire
broke out here last night which destroyed
five stores on ono side of the street and
three on the other. It MTIH discovered at
9 o'clock in the Stanwood restaurant, and
quickly extended to John Armstrong's
saloon and the Armstrong hall. It also
consumed Smith's hardware store, Han
cock's confectionery, a butcher snop and a
millinery store, almost entirely destroying
also the church and a blacksmith's shop.
A lino of hose was stretched from the
steamer Merwin, but it was not long
enough. More hose was obtained in the
town, but it was ot a different size, and
nothing could be done but to form a buck

In about two hours its progress was
checked. There wore three two-story
buildings. A burning timber fell across
the telegraph wires, breaking them down
and cutting off all communication with

VANCOUVER, June I.—[Special.]— A mass
meeting of representatives from every
church in the city was held this afternoon
to discuss ways and means of having
the numerous bagnios closed up.
They met with closed doors,
but why they were ashamed
to have their deliberations known is their
own secret. It is given out that a sub
committee was appointed to look into the
city charter and see what power is given
by the law in this direction.

From Senator Allen't Report
. Individual Indians hare occupied and
improved holdings in the faith that here
after they would be permitted to obtain
the same by allotment, and this expecta
tion should not be disappointed. The
Colville reservation is in the form of an
irregular square, bounded on the east and
south by the Columbia river, west by the
Okanagon rirer, and on the north by the
forty-ninth parallel or international
boundary line. It contains 3,000,000 acres.

himself and employes, of the Indians un

This substantially agrees with the enu
meration made by said commission, which
placed the number of male Indians above
the age of 18 years, rightfully on the res
ervation at GSS. Many <»f the Lake and
Colville Indians are industrious, and have
made encouraging proeress in civilization.
They reside along the upper Columbia
river, on the northern part of the reserva
tion. They cultivate the soil, are self-sup
porting, and desirous of educating their
children and acquiring in severalty the
lands they occupy. They are largely on
the land proposed to be vacated as a reser
vation and opened up to settlement. A
number of the Okanogans and some of the
Moses Indians are on this portion of the
reservation. The latter have made com
mendable progress, though not so far ad
vanced in civilization as the Lakes and
Colvilles.
The Columbias and Nez Perces were
placed upon this reservation subsequent
to its creation and by virtue of that pro
vision in the executive order authorizing
the secretary to locate such Indians there
on as he saw fit.
The secretary of the interior entered in
to an agreement with Moses and certain of
his Indians, by which, among other thing?,
it was agreed they might go upon this
reservation to t>e dealt with as those already
occupying it, and also agreeing to build
what is known as the Tonasket school
nouse, and a saw and grist mill on "Bona
parte creek," in the northwestern part of
the reservation. As shown both by the
commission and the Indian agent, these
improvements were unfortunately and
badly located. Upon this subject tho
agent in his last annual report says:
The Tonasket school has an unfortunate loea
t' n It is located about 140 miles from the
agency, on Bonaparte creek, and near t e Okan
ogan river. Bonaparte creek is supplied with
water from a la .o which is strongly impreg
nated with alkali, then by causing the water to
be almost totally uuiit for man or beast at cer
tain weapons of the year.
The land In the vicinity of the school build
in? is of a very poor quality, not being capable
of producing any vegetation without an abund
ance of water. The mosquitoes are so numerous
that they are almost unbearable during the
spring and summer months. Wood has to bo
hauled a distance of about twelvo mi'es. It
would appear that the pHfty who selected the
present site of the school had no conception
whatever as to the needs of a school.
In a country where an abundance of good
food and the veiy best of water could be had
within easy access, and then to erect the school
buildings many miles from wood, and near
water which is certainly not intended for clviH
ixed people to use, would certainly lead one to
conclude that the party who made the ee'ectlon
was laboring under a lit of Insanity. It is to be
hoped that the denartmeut will order the re
moval of the Kchool building to a nr>re suitable
location, which can be had within a distance of
about fifteen miles from the present site.
The development of the state of Wash
ington during the last decade has been
marvelous. Its population has increased
from "5,000 to i>.»,WK). Enterprising set
tlers are pressing into every portion of it.
A lin" of railroad has been constructed
from Spokane ninety miles northward to
the Columbia river, near the British line.
In addition to large areas of agricultural,
grazing an 1 timber lands embraced with
in the north half of this reservation, min
eral discoveries of great richness, extent
and variety have beea made, while a vast
mineral region lies to the immediate
westward of the reservation and can only
be reached for transportation purposes by
the construction of railroads across it.
Such construction can not be afforded un
less the traffic resources along the routes
across the reservation can be developed,
and this can only take place by opening
the lauds to white settlement and owner
ship.
Tne following extract, taken from the
report of the commission before referred
to, fairly describes the entire reservation:
Of that portion of tho territory ceded It is es
timated that about 300,000 acres are suitable for
agricultural purpose*. The remainder is very
valuable tor grazing purpo-es uud for tho timber
thereon. Much of the territory ceded is moun
tainous «u4 abounds in ricn mineral deposits.
'1 he southern portion of sai l reservation, it bo-
Ing tho portion thereof not ceded, contains the
largest proportion of agricultural lands,
and the graz. ng lauds upon this portion are tor
the most j art tine. The supply of timber hero
is quite ample. From the best information the
commission has been able to obtain, it is be
lieved that there is upon tho portion of said
reservation not ceded an acreage of land suit
able for agricultural purposes very largely in
excess of 160,000 acres (the limitations Indicated
lti department instructions of dato October 21,
1*591).
The commlsilnn did not deem it advisable to
negotiate with the Indiins for the purchase of
any greater area o: territory than that ceded,
and are satisfied that the portion ot said reserva
tion not codel contains ample territory for the
comfort, security, support and maintenance of
ail the Indians upon said reservation in their
various avocat.o:i* of life. From the best in
formation the commission could obtain without
incurring the expense of a survey (and this wag
not practicable, owing to the scarcity of fun is),
there remains of the-portion of the Coivilie res
ervation not ceded nearly 1,300,090 acres.
The retention of a reservation much
larger than Rhode Island or Delaware,
and but a trifle less than the state of Con
necticut, is of no advantage to the Indians
and operates to the serious injury of the
whites, and unwarrantably retards the
development of the state of Washington.
The existing other of things can not much
longer continue without exciting antag
onism and friction between the races. In
fact, impatient prospectors, miners and
settlers are threatening to enter upon
these lands, many of which bear no trace
of human occupancy. The fact, also, of
this reservation presenting a frontage of
over sixty n.i es on the international line
makes it difficult to exclude intruders, and
renders it an easy rendezvous tor a lawless
character of men whose association with
the Indians is of the worst kind.
Your committee believe that all Indians
who have established homes and improved
lands on the northern half of the reserva
tion proposed to be opened, and who have
i<ien:it.el themselves with that iocaiity
should, if they desire, be permitted to se
lect an 1 retain allotments thereon.
The eommittse are al«o of the opinion
that the Indians should be eecured in
their schoolh-.use. sawmill and gristmill,
on tfonaparte creek, unless they desire to
select better locations for these institu
tions. While unwilling to make payment
to the Indians fir these lands not used for
allotment purposes, the committee recog
nize a moral obligation on the part of the
gOTflnunent to aid them in their endeav
ors to attain a higher civilization
and ultimate fitness for citizenship,
and therefore aavi-e that the proceeds
arising from the sale of the parts of the
reservation disposed of under the land
laws of the I'nited States be deposited in
the treasury to tne credit of these Indians,
subject, prsn- ipai and interest, to expendi
ture in the discretion of the secretary of
the interior for certain enumerated pur
poses in promotion of their welfare, but
with the unexpended balance at all times
subject to the disposition of con cress.

Formulas for Solutions to Kill
the Hop Plant Lonse.
SPRAYING SHOULD BEGIN EARLY.
New Tarietlu of P«a«—A Modal Cow
Stall—Tho Dog In tho Treadmill—
The Box-Eldar Bog.
From a State Horticultural Bulletin.
The hop louse shortened the hop crop
considerably in some yards throughout
the Puyallup and White river valleys last
season. Several solutions were used for
spraying the vines, but from a majority of
the reports received, the quassia chips
and whale oil soap seems to have given
the best satisfaction. A number of the
growers failed to prepare the kerosene
emulsion properly, the mixture not form
ing a perfect emulsion. The formulas in any
of these washes should be closely observed
and carried out. An insect found about
the roots of the hop plants in early spring,
when placed under a glass, appeared iden
tical with the "stem-mother." Samples
of the lice were sent to Professor Riiey,
Washington City, who stated that they
were not the hop lice, but belonged to the
genus Tychea. Whether in this state,
which differs so widely in climate and
vegetation from the Middle or Eastern
states, the hop louse lays its winter eirgs
on "terminal twigs of wild and cultivated
species of prunes" (plums, prunes and
cherries) only, or whether the eggs are
fonnd elsewhere as well, there is no ques
tion but that spraying must be done in
order to save crops. The work should be
gin very early, watching the outside rows,
and as soon as any lice are detected, work
with spray pumps should begin. Use one
of the following solutions:
QUASSIA CHirS AND WHAT.K Oil. SOAP.
Seven to nine pounds quassia chips to
six to eight pounds whale oil soap; 100
gallons of water. Steep the quassia chips
in a few gallons of cold water about one
hour; then boil live minutes and add tho
soap. It will take, for thorough work,
forty-live to sixty-five pounds of whale oil
soap and fifty to seventy-live pounds of
quassia chips to the acre.
KEROSENE EMULSION.
''heap kerosene 8 pints
Water : 4 pints
ttoap If pounds
Dissolve the soap in the water, and add
boiling hot to the kerosene. Churn the
mixture by means of a force pump and
sprav nozzle for live or ten minutes. The
emulsion, if perfect, forms a cream which
thickens on cooling, ami should adhere
without oiliness to the surface of glass.
Dilute one part of the emulsion with
twenty-live parts of water. A common
grade of kerosene is good enough for this
work, and the soap used can be made for
1 cent a pound.
FORMULA FOB TWENTY-FIVE FOUNDS OF FISH
OIL 80AP.
Crystal potash lye 1 pound
Soit water S gallons
Fish oil 2 pints
A strong sods made at the rate of one
pound of this soap to eight gallons of
water will also be found a uniformly safe
and satisfactory wash to use, killing the
lice and not harming the vines. After
standing three days, however, the suds
will lose its efficacy.
MAKE HIM PAY HIS WAT.
Make That Lacy l>og Earn His Own
Llvlnj-Seel
That good old country grandfather of a
certain able editor used to make the big
dog of the household do the churning. It
is said that the dog possesses something
of a man's intelligence. This is probably
true, for at length on churning days,which
came regularly about 11 o'clock in the
forenoon, the dog would sneak off in the
morning and could not be found except
after long search, sometimes not at all.
On churning days that dog "took to the
woods."
But ail are not as human in their sa
gacity as the editor's grandfather's dog,
like a boy, knew enough to sneak off
and hide on churning days. It is easy
to make a dog do all the family churning.
An ordinary yellow dog, weighing thirty
pounds, is large enough to run a churn in
the manner shown in the picture. The

power machine conies ready-made among
the goods kept in dairy and creamery sup
ply stores. The same power can be utilized
for turning a grindstone, or any other
purpose where not too much strength is
required. On the women folk of the farm
falls the task of feeding the big lazy dog,
who oftentimes refuses to drive a pig out
of the garden for them. Many a time
they must cook corn cakes especially for
his delicate appetite, yet he lies in the
Run almost too iazv to switch the flies off
and blinks at the tired housewife plying
the old-fashioned dasher churn. Let us
have an end of it.
With a small power such as shown in
the picture, either a calf or sheen can he
made to walk the treadmill and do the
work. One dairyman mentions that ho
has a larger power and makes the bull not
only do the churning, but cut the fodder
and haul it too, and saw wood as well.
Dog, bull, calf or sheep, it is all the same.
One makes 3s good butter as the other. In
small dairies some of the creamers now
manufactured with a power churn like
that in the illustration would turn farm
butter making into a real pleasure. The
dog can also be used to turn the hand
cream separator.
NEW TEAS.
Tarirtlei Tried L«tt Sraion and Re
ported Upon by "Kural New Yorker."
The varieties tested were Shropshire
Hero, Heroine, Mayor. Admiral, >"ew
Dwarf Prolific and Nott's Excel-ior. All
were planted April 1. Following are notes
made concerning them:
Shropshire Hero—Vines by 3 feet;
vigorous lise those of Stratagem; large
leaves; extra large pods; about eight
large seeds to the pod. Proiitib, interme
diate.
Heroine—Vines not quite so tall as
Shropshire Hero; same foliage; matures
same time; pods as large; better filled;
seeds large; equally prolific. It is of the
Stratagem order.
Mayor—Vines two and one-half feet;
ripens after Heroine and Shropshire Hero
two or three days; pods medium sized, not
well tiled.
Admiral—lt rkay be said for this that it
bears for a long time, the iater pods being
exceptionally wtll Silled, so that the pod is
crowded as the catalogue illustrations are
oftfo made to appear; the pods, thoueh
under size, often hold eifht small sired
seeds; v.nes live feet tall, branching and
thrifty. It may further be said that the
pods are a.i uniform in shape and size.
.The variety seems to be thoroughly fixed
and carefully selected.

A MODEL COW STALL.
Tented, Illustrated and Described by
the Editor of "Hoard's Dairyman."
The excellence of this plan of tying cows
over the stanchion plan is: 1. The cow has
three and one-half feet in width of stall
and perfect liberty and comfort of position.
2. By virtue of the bar across the stall
floor, which will be seen just forward of
the hind feet of the standing cow, the
animal has always a dry, clean bed to lie
in, thus keeping her as clean from manure
in winter as thougn she was in a June
pasture. 3. By this system each cow is
protected when lying down from having
her teats and udder stepped on by her
standing neighbor. This is one of the
most productive sources of injury that is
known, and of itself should condemn the
rigid stanchion.
The cut represents one row of cows fac
ing another row. A closely boarded par
tition about fonr feet high forms the lront
of the stall. Each cow has 3)4 feet in
width. The floor is made tight and there

BLING COWS.
is no drop in rear of cows, except the
thickness of one plank, which is the donble
floor ol the stall. The feeding rack is con
structed ior two pnrposes: 1, To contain
any hav or roughage that may he ft-d the
cow. fhe slats are put on wide enough
so the cow can easily get her nose bet ween
them. 2. To force the cow when stand
ing to stand with h*r hind feet
in rear of the crossbar across
l ie r 9 J. floor. In constructing
the feeding rack nail a 2x3 piece of scant
ling edgewise against the board partition
This constitutes the bottom of the rack
and should be placed about two feet from
the door. P;ace the top scantling about
two feet from the partition. This makes
the feeding rack eight inches wide at bot
tom and two feet wide at top. In the cen
ter of the bottom scantling fasten a riris?
screw to tie the halter to. Fasren the cow
with a common web halter, she wearing
the head niece ail the time; the haiw en*
of the rope has a safety Bnap to fasten into
the ring of the halter under the throat.
To prevent the cow from getting loose it is
well to divide the end of the rope into two
strands six inches long and put a snap in
each, fastening both in the ring' when
tying the cow.
t Toe grain and ensilage box is placed on
that aide of the stall opposite to the one
the cow usually lies on. If she lies on her
left side place the grain box on the right
side. In placing the bar across th«stall
brintr the cow's head squarely up againet
the feeding rack; then just forward of htr
hind feet nail down a 2 by 3 scut
ling. Fill the space forward of tbs bar
with bedding, which being without wane
will last till entirely worn out. In this
way each cow has her bed in true propor
tion to her length. It should b« fresh
once a week, however, for the Saks of
health.
The Box-Klder Bug.
From h State Horticultural Bulletin.
The box-elder bug bothered the rips
fruit in various districts of Eastern Wash*
ingtoh last year, and in some instanesi,
being bo very numerous, conaidtmble
damage has been done. The insect worln
upon the ■ especially plums and
prunes, when nearly matured, inserting
its long beak and extracting the juicy pert
of the fruit. In this state it doesnot eon
fine its breeding to the box-elder tress, but
seeks any place where there is abetter—
old fences, barns, and in piaces are found
thickly oovering the sides of houses.
Professor Ililey states: "It is a species
which has occurred abundantly upon box
elder trees throughout the West of recent
years, but which for the past two jrean
only has been noticed damaging frait
trees. It seems to breed exclusively in
box-elder trees, so far as our investigation
goes, and the best remedy will be tosprar
the box-eiders in the immediate vicinity
oi the orchard early in the season with a
dilute solution of kerosene-soap emul
sion."
Following is the proportion given:
Kerosene 2 gallons: 17 pe
Common soap, or whale oil soap WpoandJ M . „
Water.......:. , F .i K-llonJ "
Heat the solution of soap and add it
boi.ing hot to the kerosene. Churn the
mixture by means of force pump andsprsy
nozzle for five or ten minutes. The
emulsion, if perfect, forms a cream whkh
thickens upon cooling, and should adhere
w:thout oiliness to the surface of glsei.
For use, dilute one part of the mwl
"sion with fifteen parts of water.
