Washington. I). C. July 19. —Since
the mysterious disappearance of Kent
Loomis while in company of W H.
RUis. formerly of San Antonio the se-
cret service has been engaged In
searching for Loomis or hlB body and
for the record of Ellis’ life and action.
The search for Loomis was long fu-
tile. He disappeared almost a-- if in
•n earthquake the earth swallowed
him up and the gulf thus created hail
closed up. Time however solved the
mystery. After many days the body
of Roomie was washed up on the Brit-
ish coast near Plymouth. It was re-
markably well preserved although cor
■lMrably bruised by contact with
rocks and articles while the body
Bnated around. Document- jewelry
etc. proved the identity of rhe body
There was behind the ear a wound
sufficient to cause death and the doc
tors arc of an opinion that the wound
was Inflicted before death. The plain
Inference of the present aspect of the
cnse Is that Loomis was murdered and
bis body cast into the sea.
In tracing Ellis that was an easy
matter. He was well known as a stock
broker having palacla! cffieM at "9

THE BASKET WILLOW
Th Oureau of Forestry Suggests a
New Method of Growing Willows
That Will Yield a Better Grade and
Increased Production Per Acre.
I’he culture and manufacture of the
basket willow baa uot attained in the
United States the degree of pertec-
tii n and profit tuat mark the industry
in Europe. This is for several reasons
the most important being the illative
compensation of labor and the failure
of the .'.mericau grower to ad ;pt the
mom improved methods. The growing
ha. vesting care and msuufactm* of
willow ■ require manual labor wholly
unassiMted by machinery The cheap
labor cl Europe has grown willow anti
woven it into baskets at a profit Im
possible with us and our better paid
laboi American ingenuity has still
further complicated the issue by pro-
ducing a cheap split wood basket to
take the place cf the more expensive
and durable willow. Thus an industry
of good possibilities is languishing.
The bureau of forestry has taken up
the matter and given it careM study.
Its experf has thoroughly investigat-
ed the methods of culture and manu
fact it re lx>th in this country and In
England. Germany and Hollnnd. In ad
ditiui. the bureau has established a
willow plantation on the department's
experimental ground mar Washing
ton. D. C. where the best species ot
baAet willows were set out on differ-
ent soils and spaced in accordance
with different methods of planting.
The results of the research will be
made known shortly by the bureau in
a bulletin entitled "The Basket Wil
low."
The bureau's purpose was to dis-
cover a means of reducing the cost
of the raw material peeld and uu
peeled willow rods and also of ini
proving the quality. Thin has been def-
initely ascertained. It ds .entirely a
matter of properly regulating the dis
tance between the sets in planting
care in cutting the crop of tons and
in selecting better species am! strains
of willow The custom has been to
plant in row.- three feet apart spacing
a foot In the rows between the sets
A tar better plan is to put the rows
rtnly twopty inches apart and reduce
the distance between the sets to nine
inches When this is done and the
crop is cut close to the ground the
rods will be longer and less branchy
the plants lunger lived and the yield
per acre much greater. The initial
cost la slightly higher than under ex
feting conditions but this is more
than effeet by the increased returns.
At present an average production of
six tons of green rods att acre is excep-
tional: by the method now adv vsted
by the bureau eight or more tons per
acre of Iwtter rods can be produced.
When to improved methods- f culture
the advantages from a choice of liet-
ter European varieties of willows for
planting are added the result will be
a marked reduction in the price of
the raw material and a distinct bet-
ferment of the condition of both the
producer and manufacturer.
The growing of basket willows was
introduced Into the I’nlted states
some sixty years ago by German has
koi makers who settled in western
Pennsylvania They first attempted to
use wild willows but *o< n abandoned
those as impracticable and imported
th'- purpie or Welsh willow. They
grow the rods ami the manufacture
■ nto baskets was made profitable by
whole families engaging in the weav
ing. Their product has always been a
cheap variety ot baskets dnee they
use steam in peeling tho rods which
gives them an undesirable dark color.
At n the industry was extended far
ther west and down '<> the Baltimore j
district. Maryland band-peeled rods'
were used and a much higher grade
basket manuteetuerd. But this c-mutry
in Ihc extensive use of willow ware
has never approached Europe where
are found not only heavy farm caskets
and receptacles made of unpeeled
willow but market clothe* and fruit
baskets of pooled willow furniture
hampers and trunks most artistically
wrought split willow ware designed
for countless other uses. Could all of
these be a* cheaply manufactured in
this country as that their use by us
would doubtless be as extensive as
that across the sea. For willow war*
Is not only prettcr thau its substitutes
huV what is still more imporant it la)
lighter an<| more durable.
Another use for willow In thl* conn
try it found In the gr wlng deuiantl
foF furniture which lias *<•-
come fashionable in the north while
in the warm climate of the south It JN
rapl-lly taking the plane of upholster
ed furniture. Good wages can be paid
tn the manufacture of furniture of
this kind It is a profitable Industry
an<j steadily growing in Importance |
while-willow basket making has bare-
ly held it* own in the laat deend”. I
1 The demand for furniture material |
[ has been met to this time chiefly by)
importing French rods But this can!
be changed if our own willow growers!
will adopt more scientific methods oft
culture and market their rods only «f
ter they are well seasoned —no* soon
after cutting as is now cust< marv. I

by the lutreau.
A valuable part of the bulletin is s
chapter on insects injurious to basket
willows prepared by the bureau of en-
tomology. This not only describes the
insect enemies of the willow but also
gives methods for their control The
bulletin should prove invaluable to an
present producers and manufacturers
