Benton can show' some fruit, grain and vegetables that will be no dis credit, and such an exhibit should be made. The County Court could spend some money in this way to advantage. Will the court r see it that way?' ' v ''"-- Cook said he planted a brass tube at the North Pole. If Peary saw' the tube, then Peary has been at the North Pole; if he did- not find that tube, then Peary didn't get to .the pole or else Cook and Peary have located the pole at different places. ' While the dispute is going, on Corvallis people remain convinced that the pole is not located in this imme diate vicinity. ; . ,; This North Pole business is be ginning to get interesting. When Peary got there he found that Cook's North Pole had floated away, so he discovered another and nailed the Stars and Stripes to it, just as Cook did. Pretty soon Wellman will go up and find the third North Pole, the'others having floated away. Eventually the entire Artie circle will become filled with floating North Poles, all bearing the Stars and Stripes, 'and if Seattle doesn't go and corral the whole bunch to set beside her famous totem pole, we may reasonably expect one or more of the north ern variety to slip around Green land s icy mountains down into New York harbor, " where the whole . world may go to . see and to. worship. A North Pole in New York harbor or trav eling up and down the Willamette would prove a welcome sight these days, and no one would care whether it were Cook's, Peary's -or Wellman's it would belong to the ice trust in the end anyway.' , The Gazette-Times 50c per month.- Flies are the most dangerous insects we have.- They are much more dangerous than bees or hornets; these may sting you, and the sting is painful, but you Boon get over the pain. Flies do much more harm than this. They walk over filthy places like sewers and garbage cans, and after eating the filthy food which they find there, ' they come into your house and walk on the food you eat, carrying on their feet the tiny germs which live in filth just as you live in a house. These germs are not only filthy , and disgusting, but many of them cause such diseases as typhoid fever, cholera infantum and summer complaint When the flies bring them from some dirty trtace to your food or leave some of them when they crawl on . your face or hands, you may swallow these germs -. without knowiner it and be taken ill with one of these ' diseases. So the fly that seems so harmless may do you much . more, harm , than a bee or a hornet. , '.. All . people should place screens at their . doors and ' win- ; dows during the warm weather, ! to keep flies out of 'the house. If they cannot -screen all the rooms, they should screen those in which food is kept; and if1 anyone is sick in the house, flies should be kept from the sick room, so that they may not : carry germs from the sick per "Bon to the rest of the family. Children may help to keep flies from swarming . in a and around houses, and from carrying germs of sickness from one person to another. In the first place, they should not buy candy, fruit or , other food which is left in front of stores or anywhere else where - flies may feed and ; walk, on it. , Flies lay their egg's chiefly in , stable, manure, and if this is left without screens or ' other covers 'to keep the - flies awaygreat t numbers will be hatched in every I stable. If you know w of stores where food is not covered ; from ; ' flies, or of. stables that have : swarms of them arround, get ? your father or mother to write to " the Board of Health about them, - and the Board will make . the ; store-keepers or stablemen obey : its rules. But before you report other people for being careless and dirty and so making it pos sible for flies to become a nui sance, be sure that your own house is clean, and that no gar ( bagecans or boxes are left uncov ered to attract flies. :' If you and all the people you i know will follow this advice, ' . there will not be nearly so many i flies to plague you in hot weather, j , and there will not be nearly so . much sickness and death, espec , ially. among children, as now. R. A. Moore of Chicago to Try Out One For Use Over Water. . A new type of monoplane especially designed for ; service over the water will soon, according to reports, be tried out, near Washington. ' The machine, wichwas invented by K. A. Moore of Chicago) will be thirty-five feet long and nine feet wide. : One feature will be that, whiie -carrying only a single plane, it will consist of double sur faces about eight Inches apart, con nected by a thin covering, so as to serve as a floating bladder should the craft fall into the water while trying to land on a man-of-war. Mr. Moore has procured a level tract of land not far from Fort Myer, and there he will erect an aerodome and make experimental' flights. The new craft weighs only ,250 pounds, and from a thirty-five horsepower engine at high speed, one report has it, 100 miles an hour is anticipated by the inventor. The monoplane will be pro pelled by three screws attached" to a frame between the plane and the car. Mr1, Moore hopes to sell his machine to the navy department after demonstrat ing its utility. Another feature ofMr. Moore's ma chine is a compressed air attachment to the engine-., by which sufficient power M stored to propel the ma chine for ten miles in case of accident This contrivance, if it works. Will meet the greatest obstacle the Wright broth ers found to long distance flying away from a given starting point when the nature ot the ground to be passed over and the possibility of finding good landing places must necessarily be more or less unknown. , WEATHER FORECASTS "Predict a discontinuance of extremely hot weather with a tendency to high winds and consequent squalls and rain, covering the entire Valley and Northwest."

Major General , Daniel E. Sickles, U. S. A., retired, said the other day that the mimic war in Massachusetts between the , reds and the blues, which recently ended, proved conclu sively that a foreign invasion of the United States between Boston and New York was a military impossibll- itv. According to the general, the ma neuvers showed great improvement in military effectiveness over conditions twenty years ago. For this magnincent showing General Sickles said that the work of the general staff, originated by Elihu Root when the latter was sec retary f war, was largely responslDie. The general thinks that we now have a splendidly effective regular . army, with a national guard amenable to federal authority "to an effective de gree and working In co-operation with the regular establishment under con trol of the general staff. The concen tration of 14,000 men with uniformity of equipment, sufficiency of transport and including; as It did. troops of tne cavalry,'' engineering and heavy artil lery arms of the service, couia not have been attempted a few years ago, in the general's oninion. without tne expenditure of extraordinary effort. General Sickles was of the opinion that General Bliss outmaneuvered Gen eral Pew in , the New England war game, but gave as the reason the fact that the former general was- regular and had therefore had more experience. HUDSON-FULTON STAMP. Issue " of 50,000,000 to Commemorate Notable Celebration. ' Postmaster General Hitchcock re cently signed an order for the issu ance of a new two cent stamp in com memoration of the Hudson-t'ul ton cel ebration at New York. It is oblong In shape, being about seven-eighths of an inch by one and three-eighths inches in size. At the top is a wide border containing the inscription. "Hudson-Fulton Cente nary," with the dates 1609-1909; below the inscription in a curved line are the words "U. S. Postage." and at the bottom on each side is a prominent Arabic numeral "2," with the words Two Cents" in a panel between the f figures. In the center is engraved a picture showing the Palisades of the Hudson, with the Half Moon sailing up the river and the Clermont steaming in the.. opposite- direction., In the fore ground is no iDdian in a canoe, and in the distance four other Indians in a canoe are discernible. The color of the stamp is that of the present two cent issue. - The order provides for an issue of 50,000,000. It is hoped to have them on sale on Sept. 20. ' . : London' New Waltz. All London is whistling the air of the new waltz song, entitled "Ylolet Rodman." : According to cablegrams from London to New York, the waltz composed by Jean Facon, leader of the orchestra at the Carlton hotel, in hon or of Rodman Wanamaker's marriage to Miss ' Violet Cruger, promises to become as popular as some former musical creations that have been the rage in London. The waltz was first played at the wedding of Mr. Wana maker and at once was voted to be very pleasing. The music reminds one of "La Matische.'; which took Europe and America by. storm five years ago. The similarity in spirit of the two songs was 'widely commented upon. -. '' Innovation at a Horse Show.
