Measure Agreed Upon By House and
Senate Conferees.
Washington, July 2. —The pure
food bill has been agreed upon by the

PREHISTORIC RELICS
Miner Near Anaconda Unearth* Stone
Knife at 65 Feet.
Butte, Mont, July 2.— R. B. Strong,
who is working a mine near Anaconda,
last week brought into that city a
knife of stone carved with heads of an
imals, unearthed 65 feet from the
mouth of a tunnel driven into a hill
200 feet from the peak. Mr. Strong
also found near the kuife a huge
stone, in the shape of an altar, and
believed to have been the sacriiicial
stone of a prehistoric people.
A peculiar nauseating odor, unlike
anything encountered in mines in
Montana, leads Mr. Strong to believe
that further along in his workings he
will encounter either mummies or a
charnel house. The knife will be sent
to the Smithsonian Institution.
Loeal*archaeologists believe that Mr.
Strong has come upon an ancient bur
ying ground of those vanished races
whose traces are seen in Southern Col
orado, in Wyoming and in Western
Nebraska, and to study whose forts
and buried cities an expedition from
the University of Nebraska is soon to
leave for Wyoming.

THE POTATO BLIGHT
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
ISSUES A BULLETIN.
Fungus Can Be Effectually Pre
vented by Spraying With Bor
deaux Mixture—lnstructions
for Preparing and Application
of the Spray.
Washington, July 2—Recently many
inquiries have been received from the
Puget Sound country by the depart
ment of agriculture regarding the
methods of controlling the potato
blight. At the request of D. A. Bro
die, acting agriculturist, W. A. Orton,
pathologist in the office of vegetable
phyisology and pathology, has pre
pared the following article on the sub
ject:
"The blighting of potato foliage
during July, August and September in
Western Washintgon is usually due to
the disease known as 'late blight.'
This trouble, which is caused by the
fungus known to botanists as phytoph
tora infestans De Bary — prevails
throughout the northern tier of states
and especially in the great potato
growing sections of Michigan, New
York, Vermont and Maine, where
much experience with remedial meas
ures has been gained, which will be
directly applicable to Washintgon con
ditions.
Losses of Two-Fold Nature
"The late blight fungus requires for
its best development a moist or humid
climate am? a comparatively low tem
perature. It is for this reason that it
is widely prevalent in the regions men
tioned while it does not occur to any
extent in Southern districts. Losses
due to blight are often not realized by
farmers. These losses are of a two
fold nature. In the first place the crop
is reduced by the premature destruc
tion of the vines, and in the second
place there is frequently considerable
decay during storage due to the same
fungus which attacked the vines. It
is estimated by reliable authorities
that the average loss per acre through
out the principal potato growing sec
tions of the country amounts to sixty
bushels per acre in seasons when the
blight is prevalent, making a total loss
of many millions of dollars, nearly all
of which could have been prevented.
"Potato blight can be effectually
prevented by spraying Bordeaux mix
ture, and this treatment has become
an established farm practice in many
sections of the country. This should
also be the case in Western Washing
ton, and a few careful trials will soon
convince the most skeptical potato
grower of the profits to be made in
this manner.
Begin Spraying in June
"It is advised that Spraying be be
gun in the latter part of June, as it is
important to make the first application
before the blight appears. Once the
disease has gained headway in a field
it is much more difficult to check it.
Additional sprayings should be made
at intervals of two weeks in dry wea
ther or more frequently towards the
end of the season if the weather is
rainy and the disease spreading rap
idly in neighboring fields.
"Bordeaux mixture for potatoes
should contain sixpouuds of bluestone
and four pounds of freshly slaked
stone lime to forty to fifty gallons of
water. A farmer intending to spray
his potatoes would do well to write to
the United States department of agri
culture at Washington for farmers'
bulletins 91 and 2J:i, which give de
tailed instructions for the prepara
tion aud application of the spray,
which cannot be fully described with
in the limits of a newspaper article.
Briefly stated, it is recommended that
whenever any considerable area of
potatoes has to be sprayed prepara
tions should be made for making the
mixture quickly on a large scale
through the employment of stock so
lutions and a mixing platform. The
stock solution of bluestone is usually
made by weighing out two pounds to
each gallon of water and suspending
the same in a loose sack near the top
of the water. A few hours will suffice
to dissolve the bluestone. The lime
should be slaked with care, and suffi
cient water added to bring the paste
to a concentration of two pounds per
gallon. To prepare a barrel of mix
ture three gallons of the stock blue
stone are taken and diluted in a separ
ate barrel to make twenty gallons. Two
gallons of the lime milk, well stirred,
are diluted in another barrel to make
twenty gallons, and both poured to
gether into the spray tank or allowed
to empty into it from an elevated plat
form. The mixture should be made
fresh before using.
Power Sprayer I* Best
"The application should be as thor
ough as possible. Some form of spray
pump is essential, and as a matter of
economy, in fields of several acres a
geared or power sprayer is best, pro
vided the machine possesses sufficient
capacity to thoroughly cover the po
tato foliage. Many sprayers now on
the market are deficient in this respect
and require to be run twice or three
times over the field to tnoroughly
cover the foliage. For well grown
potato vines 150 to 200 gallons per
acre will be needed, although great
gains in yield are often reported from
the use of much smaller quantities.
The effect of the Bordeaux mixture
on potatoes is very marked, eveu in
seasons when the blight is not espec
ially prevalent, and it has been shown
beyond question by many years of ex
perience that it is profitable to spray
every vear. Experiments made at the
Puyallup station by David A. Brodie
showed an average increase in a yield
of marketable potatoes in the sprayed
rows over that of the unsprayed rows
of nearly 87 per cent. Results still
more striking have been reported from
trials in Vermont and New York.
"In fourteen farmers' business ex
periments, including 180 acres, the
average gain due to spraying was 62 > 4
bushels per acre: the average total
cost of spraying $4.9* per acre; the
average cost for each spraying 93 cents
per acre, and the average net protit.
based on the market price of potatoes.
♦ 21.86 per acre.

Situation Which Facet the Big Fire In
surance Companies.
Los Angeles, July 3.—"Any fire in
surance company that does not prompt
ly meet its obligations incurred in San
Francisco might as well retire from
business in the United States," says
the Times, quoting C. H. Luling, su
perintendent of insurance for Kansas,
who is visiting in Los Angeles.
"The report which Insurance Com
missioner Wolf, of California, makes
upon these companies in regard to the
promptness of payment of risks in the
big tire will be sufficient for every
other lire insurance commissioner in
the United States; at least it will be
accepted by myself as final judgment
as to whether any certain company
can continue to transact business in
the state of Kansas. If the report is
unfavorable to any company that com
pany must close its offices in Kansas
once and for all. Our state will not
permit any company to continue in
business within its borders that the
state of California does not think fit."
BIG CREWS AT WORK
Northern Pacific Ha* 10,000 Men Em
ployed on Line* in Washington.
Butte, Mont., July 2. —Ten thou
sand men are at the present time en
gaged in construction work for the
Northern Pacific railroad in the state
of Washington, according to a state
ment made by R. E. Palmer, assistant
general superintendent of the North
ern Pacific at Missoula, says a Minei
special from that city.
This army of men.Mr. Palmer states,
is greater than tne combined construc
tion crews of all the other roads work
ing in Northwestern fields.
The greater number of the men em
ployed by the Northern Pacific are en
gaged on the new main line of the road
from Pasco junction down the north
bank of the Columbia river into Port
land, which line, when completed, will
shorten the route of the Northern Pa
cific to the Coast about 200 miles.
FINDS SUBJECTS DEMOCRATIC
Norwegian* Said to Vex Haakon by Lack
of Outward Show of Respect.
Berlin, July 3.—lnformation has
been reached here that King Haakon
VII, the newly crowned monarch of
Norway, is much dissatisfied with con
ditions as they prevail in the country
over which ho has assumed the rule.
He complains that his advisers have
no respect for his royal dignity. They
hustle him about as if he were a serv
ant instead of the king.
During his recent tour of the coun
try, on his way from Christiania to
Trondhjem for his coronation, the
populace, while turning out in large
numbers to see him, lacked the devout
homage for their monarch which Haa
kon had been accustomed to seeiug
bestowed upon a ruler. The newspa
pers also have been unrestrained in
their criticism and this has added to
his discomfiture. Altogether, it is
said, Haakon is sorry that he has un
dertaken to rule over a country where
so little respect is shown for royalty.
Southeast Seattle Incorporates.
Seattle, July 2.—The incorporation
of a new suburb of Seattle, to be
known as Southeast Seattle, was
effected at an election held Saturday,
pursuant to call by the county com
missioners. It embraces an area of
about six square miles aud has a pop
ulation of about 9,000. The purpose
of incorporation is annexation to Seat
tle, and the suburb will be known as
the Twelfth ward. Officers were elect
ed who are pledged to incur no ex
pense for the new city other than is
necessary in calling for an election to
vote on the question of annexation to
this city. About six weeks will prob
ably be required to accomplish this.

Model Bogus Money Factory
Portland, Or., July '2.— After three
years of constant endeavor to unearth
