A Wonderful F'hotograph. -I have pho- 

 tographed a mountain range 05 miles away, 

 beating all previous records by 30 miles. 

 Better still. I have made a picture, a most 

 unusual thing in tele-photography. The sub- 

 ject is Mount Baker. Wash., a snow-clad 

 mountain II. !oo feet high; the point of view 

 is Victoria, British Columbia. For beauty 

 the scene is not excelled on earth. In the 

 immediate foreground is a solid bank of 

 primeval forest, then come the Haro Straits. 

 4S miles wide, dotted with many islands: 

 next rise the foothills blending into the 

 snowy grandeur of the Rocky Mountains. 

 with Baker towering high above— a silent 

 sentinel. I have also photographed the 

 Olympic Mountains. Wash., from Victoria, 

 a distance of 65 miles, again getting a pic- 

 ture. It took me 18 months' persistenteffort 

 to get them, but I will not bother you with 

 my troubles. I am selling prints from the 

 original negatives. 6Hx8}i, at ti.so each, but 



will supply the pair for S2.00. They are 

 printed on heavy cream paper, ready for 

 framing. F. Dundas Todd. Market St.. Vic-

The Cus DittmerCo., of Augusta, Wis., 

 are one of the largest manufacturers of 

 comb foundation, which is made by a 

 process all their own. They also han- 

 dle a full line of bee-keepers' supplies. 

 A copy of their Kith annual catalog for 

 1911 is on our desk. The Gus Dittmer 

 Co., like many another bee-supply con- 

 cern, is a sort of family afifair, as Mr. 

 Dittmer and his son "Fred" run the 

 business. For a number of years a 

 daughter also helped to make comb 

 foundation, but a promising young 

 man by the name of "Hammer "took 

 after her, and the result was that she 

 was taken out of the business. There 

 is also another similarity in the Ditt- 

 mer firm to other bee-supply dealers, in 

 that they are a very nice firm to deal 

 with. 



Illinois Annual Report. — The Secre- 

 tary of the Illinois State Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, Jas. A. Stone, wishes to 

 say that since the beginning of this 

 year he has spent about all his time in 

 correspondence and committee work 

 trying to secure the passage of the bee- 

 disease bills now before the State Leg- 

 islature ; and since the first of March 

 he has had the extra work of getting 

 the matter to the printer, reading proof, 

 etc., for the Tenth Annual Report, soon 

 to be out; so that it is impossible for 

 him to find time to answer all the en- 

 quiries as to when the Report will be 

 out. There will be no time lost in 

 mailing it, as soon as printed. 



Dr. P. L. Peiro, 72 E. Madison St., 

 Chicago, 111., will be glad to furnish 

 advice free to readers of the American 

 Bee Journal along the line of obscure 

 surgical and medical aid. Any of our 

 readers, who wish to consult a doctor 

 who understands his business, will find 

 it to their interest to write or see Dr. 

 Peiro. The Editor of the American 

 Journal has known him intimately as a 

 neighbor, and also through personal 

 treatment, for almost 20 years. He will 

 "treat" you right, if you give him the 

 opportunity.
