Peking. -Yuan Shi Kai, president of the Chinese republic, has accepted the throne of China tendered to him by the council of state, after at first refusing the offer. Acting as a parliament, the council of state Saturday canvassed the vote on the question of a change in the form of the govrnment of China to a monarchy and found that the votes of 1993 representatives out of 2043 quail - 'd to vote on the proposition, were fi,:orable to the change.

Continued athlete of the -starting op of more lumber mills, with announce- ment of the commencement of opera- tions in mills and logging camps that will employ thousands of men with the first of the year is the most satisfac- tory feature of the industrial situa- tion. It is also the brightest side of the commercial outlook, for, with Washington's big manufacturing in- terest restored to normal conditions, this section will feel at once the ef- fects of the reanimation in business that is now well established upon close to boom dimensions in a large proportion of the country. While the ocean carying situation is still impeding the movement of the wheat crop with almost prohibitive charter rates asked by vessel owners, some business continues to be done in wheat, with a well sustained market. Produce lines are halting to some ex- tent, but still showing larger demands than a year ago. Butter -The position of the butter market is holding at about the same level as for several weeks, with the price ranging from 30c to 34c per Pound. Cheese -The strong position of the cheese market for okome time has re- sulted in an advalfee all along the line, with twins quoting at 17%0 19 1 / 2 c, cream brick 22c and other makes 20022c. Eggs -The firm position of the egg market is still maintained, and al- though no changes in quotations have been noted this week, offers have been made to the producers at or better than the Jobbing figure for fresh stocks. Poultry -A drop of 1c is noted in the price of old hens, and geese have declined 2c. Otherwise, the market remains about the same as to prices. Receipts have been adequate for re- quirements. Fresh Meats -There has been no change in the fresh meat situation, either in the direction of change in price or alteration in the course of demands. Market is at about season- able proportions, but inclined to be quiet. Cured Meats -The situation has been holding without change during the week, although the undertone of prices is easy at quotations. Apples -The apple market is com- mencing to show a little interest, al- though the high price of fancy stock continues to restrict demands. No change is noted in prices noted last week. 111188868 Other Fruits -Lemons have ad- vanced 50c per case, making the price for fancy $5 and choice $4.50. Navel nron ono amo . 07.> fir..117 quality, but still hold a trifle quiet at around $3.50@3.75. ;lap oranges have eased off to $2. Cranberries have firmed up and are now quoted at $10010.50 per barrel and $3.75 per box. Grapes are quoting at an ad- vance of 25c for Emperors in kegs at $4. Grapefruit is easier at $4.750 5.25 per case, and huckleberries are off the jobbing market. Potatoes -Market still holds fairly strong, but no change in price is noted, the figure being $1 per cwt. Sweets have advanced 25c at $2.50, due to the cleaning up of the field supply. Other Vegetables -The quotation on cauliflower has broadened out to $1.50 02.25 per dozen, and head lettuce has eased off a little at 65075c per dozen. Hothouse tomatoes are now on the market and quoting at $2 per box. Another new vegetable is spin- ach, which is priced at 85c per box. No change is noted as to prices on any of the other items of this de- partment. Wheat -There has not been much change in the wheat market locally during the week, quotations at the moment holding without change. Move * raent to coast points has been of very small proportions, although there has been some shipments to the Atlantic seaboard. Flour -The quietness of the market continues to be the rule rather than the exceptimi. Another change on hard wheat flour was noted during the week, but local patents hold at the same figure of $5.2505 as has been noted for several weeks. Feed -The scarcity of alfalfa has caused another boost in the price of $1, making the figure $17 per ton. Continued expansion is reported in al- most all lines of feed as the season advances. STOCK AND CROP NOTES. The North Pacific Fruit Distrib- utors have 250 to 275 cars of Wine - sap apples in storage in the We- natchee and Yakima districts, and they will be kept there until Febru- ary 1, according to B. A. Perham, sales manager. F. E. Wyatt has purchased from Seth Jones of the Salmon river coun- try, Idaho, the entire breeding stock of the latter, consisting of 16 regis- tered Shorthorn and Hereford bulls, 75 high-grade cows and about 200 grade cows and calves, at about $30,- 000. Mr. Jones will devote his time to the preparation of fat cattle and hogs for market. The growing of ga g lish walnuts in north central Waahington is likely to become within the next 10 years a leading industry. The climatic con- ditions and the soil are favorable to the grdtving of the hard -shelled north- ern variety. In the Wenatchee -North country there are 1000 trees planted, part of which are in bearing. D. A. Henderson and W. P. Shepherd of Chelan have the largest bearing groves. They are growing them on a commercial basis, having 30 acres of trees. INDUSTRY AND IMPROVEMENT. Tonasket, Wash., has voted to bond the school district for $25,000 to pro- cure funds for the erection of four new school buildings. Canned salmon and clam shipments from Grays. Harbor for the year end.: ed December 1 were valued at $650,- 000. The pack of seven clam can- neries amounted to 48,000 cases, valued at $32,000, and the salmon pack of 102,000 cases was worth $408,000. The output was below the normal because of lighter run of salmon and unfavorable weather and tides. At least 1000 men will find employ- ment all next season at and near the Lake Keechelus reservoir site of the United States reclamation service at the head of the Yakima river. It is anticipated by Project Engineer Crownover that from 600 to 700 men will be required to complete within the year the dam and outlet upon which the government will have ex- pended when complete nearly $2,- 000,000. Gridiron Club Met Saturday. Washington. -Peace and prepared- ness advocates alike came in for a raking fire of jest at the winter din- ner of the Gridiron club Saturday night. At the close the preparedness ranks appeared the stronger, but their casualties from verbal shrapnel were almost as heavy as those of the pac- ifists. President Wilson, Vice President Marshall, members of the cabinet, sen- ators, representatives and the men prominent in public life from many parts of the country were among the club's guests. Uncle Sam the Real Victor. London. -Copies of the Berlin Vor- waerts received here contain an arti- cle several columns in length discuss- ing the probable commercial and finan- cial effects of the war on the United States. Under the hAding \The Real Victor,\ the writer concludes that the United States will reap the greatest economical advantages from the war and that neither Germany nor Great Britain stands to gain anything, which- ever wins. Great Britain Takes Our Ships. Washington. -Great Britain today notified the state department through Ambasador Page that it was taking the steamers Hocking and Genesee of the American Transatlantic company to London for prize court adjudication. The United States was urged to see that the company cooperated in expe- diting the trial by prompt appointment of counsel and speedy preparation of its case. Three Bankers to Prison. Dubuque, Iowa. -Joseph Harrigan, George Homan and Charles Siege. for- mer officers in the Dubuque National bank, were sentenced to five years each in the federal penitentiary. They pleaded guilty to charges of having made false entries on the books of the bank and misappropriation of funds approximating $15,000. Some people are easily pleased, es- pecially with themselves. PRESIBI Til NAVE SIMPLE WEDDING NO BEST MAN OR MAID OF HONOR, CEREMONY SET FOR DEC. 18 AT BRIDE'S HOME. NO INVITATIONS TO BE ISSUED Rev. Smith of the Episcopal Church to Perform Ceremony at the Coming Time -No Large Reception - Presents Not Expected. Washington. -Extreme simplicity will be observed at the wedding of President Wilson and Mrs. Norman Galt, which the White House announ- ces will be solemnized December 18 at the home of Mrs. Galt here. The president will have no best man at çhe wedding and Mrs. Galt will not for ally select a maid of honor, al - thou one of her sisters probably Miss rtha Bolling of this city, will escort her during the ceremony. The announcement at the White House that only members of the two families and the president's immediate household would att'end the, wedding and that no format invitations would be issgad, surprised official Washing- ton. The Rev. Herbert Scott Smith, rec- tor of St. Margaret's Episcopal church here, which Mrs. Galt has attended in recent months, has been tentatively selected as the officiating clergyman, although it is possible that the Rev. Sylvester Beach, pastor of the presi- dent's church in Princeton, may assist. The wedding ceremony will be held in the drawing room of Mrs. Gait's home, where a temporary altar will be erected. The ceremony will be an evening affair. There will be no large reception afterward, but official Washington will have an opportunity to extend personal congratulations at the Pan-American reception, the first of the formal social affairs of the White House social season, which will be held January 7. Plans for the honeymoon trip are being kept secret, but it is known they plan to leave Washington short- ly after the ceremony. The Mayflower, the president's yacht, is being kept here and it is reported that at least a part of the trip may be made on wa- ter. In spite of intimations that the president and Mrs. Galt did not expect many wedding presents, a number of officials and close friends are plan- ning to send them gifts - LEGAL APPLE BOX BILL. Cent to Congressman Dill'etommittee -Favorable Deport Is Likely. The standard apple box bill, intro- duced in the house by Representative C. C. Dill of eastern Washington short- ly after he was sworn in, has been re- ferred to the committee on weight, coinage and measures, of which Mr. Dili is a member, and he will have a good opportunity thereby to get it re- ported favorably to the floor. \Apple box bills similar to this one were introduced in the 63rd congress,\ said Representative Dill after intro- ducing the measure, \but there was no member on the committee from an apple growing section to press them forward to a vote.\ He thinks the bill can be passed. RAILROADS TO BOOST FARES. Interstate Commerce Commission Al- lows Rate Advances in West. Washington. -General increases in passenger fares on western railroads were authorized this week by the in- terstate commerce commission. Proposed increases from points with- in which new rates were authorized to points on the main lines in Califor- nia, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico. A basing rate of two and a half cents a mile in North and South Dakota and three cents in the states south and east was approved. Democratic Convention at St. Louis. New York. -William F. McCombs, chairman of the democratic national committee, has issued a formal call for the democratic national convention in St. Louis June 14, 1916. Two delegates and two alternates for every senator and two delegates and two alternates for every repre- sentative in congress from each state based on the congressional apportion- ment of the sixty-fourth congress and six delegates and six alternates each from the Districtof Columbia, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines are to be chosen. War Hurts P. 0. Business. Washington. - Postmaster General Burleson's annual report says the Eu- ropean war has cost the American pos- tal service $21,000,000, but that econ- omies of administration have reduced the audited deficit to a little more than $11,000,000 for the fiscal year which ended last June Uncooked Pork Caused Deaths. Portland, Ore. -Twelve cases of trichinosis, with four deaths and one patient considered in a hopeless condi- tion, is reported here as having oc- curred last week. In every case haves- tiagtion showed that the disease had resulted from eating pork insufficient- ly cooked. - MINING 140TEg The installation of wiftey tables and additional, power jigs has been completed at the Coeur d'Alene anti- mony property on Pine creek, Idaho. The new mill, especially designed to treat lighter ores, is proving success- ful and is now turning out a high grade of antimony concentrates. Equipment for the enlargement of the stamp mill of the Rose Consoli- dated Mining co. on Its property at Libby, Mont., was purchased this week by H. H.1 Phipps, president of the company, and is to be installed immediately by P. S. Rose of Libby, superintendent. The mill is to be increased from five to ten stamps. With the receipt of official an- nouncement that the Bunker Hill Br Sullivan Mining Co. would begin pay- ment of a special dividend of 23 cents the share, or $81,750, and with semi-official reports from New York that the Hecla Mining Co. will dis- burse an extra payment of 3 cents the share, or $30,000, on December 20, the total of four northwestern mining companies' Christmas pres- ents to shareholders will amount to $859,235. New York Metal Market. The metal exchange emotes lead of- fered $5.25; spelter, $14.75@l5.25. Copper -Dull; electrolytic, $19.75@ 20.00. Tin -Steady, $37.20037.50. Bar silver, 56c. Mexican dollars, 42%c. Iron -Steady and unchanged. Big Increase in Dividends. As a result of larger demand and better metal markets American mines and works to the number of 121 made dividend disbursements during the 11 months of 1915, totaling $83,136,226. This is $13,734,448 in excess of divi- dends paid by 119 companies during the same period in 1914. According to reports made to Mining and Engi- neering World the 121 companies making -disbursements in 1915 haye distributed dividends since their in- corporation totaling $991,477,175. This is a return of issued capital and $242,023,410 additional, a really won- derful record of industrial accomplish- ment and one not enjoyed by any other single industry. Then there are the dividends of the securities -holding corporations, whose profits are divided between holders of stock in other companies and in the operation of their own mines. These, six in number, have made dis- bursements in 1915 amounting to $15,- 580,517 and to date $190,786,748. A large part of this is derived from the direct operation of properties and should be credited to the disburse- ments made by operating companies. During the last 11 months 30 cop- per companies have paid dividends totaling $36,688,311, which is approxi- mately $6,000,000 in excess of divi- Jlends paid during the 11 rnonthii,Qf 1914. To date these companiai have disbursed no less than $490,981,346; issued capital is $272,750,452. Eighty-five companies operating properties classed as gold -silver -lead - zinc producers, have paid sharehold- ers $32,859,545 during the 11 months of 1915, with total payments of $320,- 454,960. The combined issued capital of these companies is $242,614,873. Sixty-two of the above operate properties in the United States and they have paid dividends in 1915 amounting to $25,165,601 and to date $236,781,453, on an ,issued capital of $161,355,069. This is a return equiva- lent to over 145 per cent and proves that gold mining properties pay good returns when properly operated. Twenty Canadians properties con- tributed $6,575,603 to the above and to date $65,773,931, on an outstanding capital of $69,856,434. But three Mexican companies re- port dividend payments in 1915, these disbursing $1,118,341, and to date $17,- 899,576, on an outstanding capital of $11,403,370. Six companies operating metallur- gical works show an increase of ap- proximately $1,000,000 over the same period in 1914, having paid $13,588,- 350 and since incorporation $180,- 040,869 on an outstanding capital of $234,088,440. 110 DIE IN POWDER SMASH. Infernal Machine Is Found in Muni- tions from United States. Paris. -One hundred and ten per- sons are reported to have been killed in Sunday's explosion in the Belgian munitions factory at Havre. The investigation has developed that one of the buildings contatted boxes of ammunition which came from the United States some time ago. It was discovered that in one of these boxes was an apparatus designed to cause conflagration. The box of explosives was rendered harmless and the labor- atory examination which followed dis- closed interesting facts. Woman Won't Be Executed. Ottawa. -Executive clemency was granted Monday to Mrs. Jennie Hawkes, who was sentenced to hang at McLeod, Alta., December 29, for the murder of her husband's paramour, Mrs. Rossila Stoley.

I WILSON'S ANNUAL ADDRESS Proclaims a new policy of alliance with the nations of Central and South America. Asserts the . intention of the United States to resist aggression and to pro- tect other peoples from aggression particularly the nations of the western hemisphere. Asks congress to enlarge the regu- lar army to 141,843 officers and men and to create a \continental army\ of 400,000 men. Asks the passage of the five-year building program for the navy calling for the expenditure of half a billion dollars. Recommends the passage of a bill for the purchase or construction and operation by the government of mer- chant ships as a temporary expedient to build up American trade, especially with South America. Recommends the passage of bills enlarging the liberties of the people of the Philippines and Porto Rico. Calls attention to deficiency in rev- enues calling for new plans of taxa- tion. Advises againts the issue of federal bonds to pay the costs of increasing the army and navy. Suggests the enlargement of the in- come tax revenue by lowering the limit of exemption, by lowering the surtax limit and by increasing the sur- tax rate. Mentions tax on gasoline, internal combustion engines, bank checks, pig iron and fabricated iron and steel as possible additional sources of revenue which would not be unfair. Indiets- -certain foreign-bern Ameri- cans for disloyalty and intriguing against the nelittrality of the United States and asks laws to curb their ac- tivity. Forecasts request for an appropria- tion for civilian advisory boards for the army and navy. Calls attention to the necessity of plans for organizing the industries of the country for purposes of the na- tional defense in case of war. Advises legislation on vocational ed- ucation, conservation of natural re- sources and rural credits. Suggests the creation of a board of inquiry to devise means for bettering the transportation facilities of the country and for putting the railroads upon a sounder basis. General Trade Conditions. Bradstreet's says: Apparently the week has been the busiest in a long time. Activity in trade as well as in leading industries is unabated -is more marked, in fact, than hereto- fore. Jobbers, wholesale dealers, re- tailers, manufacturers and bankers are a unit in reporting activity and sold -up -for -months -to -come is the con- dition of numerous industries. Com- plaints spring from inability to get supplies and from chagrin at not hav- ing bought at lower price levels than now prevail, rather than from a lack of demand. Incidentally the steady demands be- ing made for immediate shipments corroborate reports as to depleted stocks -a widespread condition. Indus- try swings along at an active gait, the iron and steel trade leading, with mills unable to supply demands de- spite augmented capacity, while new domestic business is unchecked by higher prices. But in other indus- tries the circle of activity is widen- ing. Weekly bank clearings, $913,174,000, Wreck Kills Father and Son. Stockton, Cal. -William Wing, a Santa Fe passenger engineer, and his son, William Wing, a freight train fireman, were killed here Sunday in the local yards when their respective trains crashed together on the main line.

Cook slowly for an hour. Meanwhile boil a package of spaghetti in plenty of salted water, leaving it whole If possible Cook till tender, then drain and rinse with cold water, and again with °oiling water. Place the pork chops on a large plat- ter and strain the gravy, which should have cooked .1111 rather thick, over them, and border with spaghetti. Over the latter sprinkle grated cheese rath- er thickly and pass a dish of the same for those who like a more decided cheese flavor Mushrooilis, either the fresh or dried, may be cooked with the spaghetti and it will improve the dish greatly. French Toact With Marmalade. A fancy toast reminds one of what sometimes called \French toast.' plain white broad is cut in rather generous slices, brushed lightly with a mixture of egg and milk, not enough being used to moisten more than the actual surface of the bread. The di- rect heat of toasting quickly dries this, and when the bread so treated is carefully browned It is difficult to guess wherein Iles the secret of this particular brand of toast. With a spoonful of jam or marmalade this makes an ideal 'novelty for the after- noon tea table. In his monthly statement to the Western Pine Manufacturers' asso- ciation, Secretary A. W. Cooper re- ports that 88,175,580 feet of lumber were shipped in October this year, as compared with 64,629,278 in October, 1914. The cut' for October this year, 29 mills reporting, is 98,370,057 feet, as compared with 76,919,517 feet, 25 mills reporting, in October, 1914. The total number of mills reporting to the association for October this year is 35, as compared with 39 a year ago. Armies in Winter Trenches.
