Marshal Wilkins has been on
the job for sure d tiring1 the past
week and has enforced the law
in a way that lr xks good to people
who have an interest in the wel
fare of this c?ity.
The old flume is now nearly
torn down in front of the court
house, and it is to be hoped that
the old dock of the Oregon W ood
Company will be next to fall, and
that it will be replaced with an
up to dtte structure. The town
looks good from the river now.
and with a few more changes
along the water front will be all
that could be asked.
The recent case of the City of
St. Helens vs. Pete J. Pappas
shows what folly it is to give a
restaurant man privileges in con
nection with the liquor business.
There would probably never have
been any objection to his serving
drinks in hi3 place so long as he
had not violated the law, but he
was allowed to have boxes and
connection with a saloon and an
immediate abuse of the privileges
granted him follows. Th serv
ing of liquor should at least be
confined to place3 that are under
license and strict regulations.
raising in this section should be
at the meeting. If you are not
at present a member join the
association at once. The work
to be accomplished along this
line and through the organizing
of the fruitgrowers is unlimited.
It i3 only through larger pro
duction that this section can re
ceive the recognition coming to
it as a fruit raising country, and
the Yankton people are the pio
neers in the matter.
The Fourth of July committee
are still at it and hard at work,
to make the celebration here the
best of the kind ever held on the
Columbia River. There will be
three bast ball games, Sunday
Monday and Tuesday, and two
days of celebration, Monday and
Tuesday. The committee will fur
nish bread and meat to the
crowds, and see that everybody
has plenty of chance to have the
best time ever, all of which is
going to cost some money, so
help out when the finance com
mittee finds you. This committee
has met with flattering success
so far and have done the part of
the work in a way that is more
than satisfactory. The comittee
on grounds will begin their work
in a short time. M. F. Hazen is
the chairman, and that thing at
Godfrey Park will be in good
shape is assured.

The "Hog Book" distributed
by the Oregon-Washington Rail
road and Navigation Co., has
reached the Mist office, and it is
a document that should be of
value to every man on a farm or
small piece of land. There are
twenty three good sized pages
covered with authentic informa
tion in regard to hog husbandry
and proof conclusive all the way
through it that raising hogs pays
well. The following is the first
paragraph in the book, and that
it states facts can be proven by
trying this line of farming:
"Fertility of soil and a plentiful
supply of pure water are the
essential points to be considered
in choosing a suitable location
for hog raising. Give these, with
an abundance of shade and thai

ways to control the common pc-sts of tlie
vegetable auu flower garden are des
cribed in a new bulletin which is iu
preparation lor publication by V. F.
Wilson, assistant entomologist at the
Oregon Agricultdr.il College.
"Destructive insects secure tbeir food
either by eating portions of plants, or
by sucking the juices therefrom, "says
Mr. Wilcon. "The firot general group
' are controlled by food poisons taken into
, the stomach, the tecond by contact or
I external insecticides.
I "The iuternal insecticides are divided
into two groups which may be termed
the wet and dry sprays. The net sprays
consist of arsenical s applied with water
or lime-sulphur as distributing agent.
"About the only one in use at the
present time is arsenate of lead, wliich,
when properly made and unadulterated,
is efiicient and does not burn the - foli
age, as Paris green sometimes does.
For ordinary use, two pounds of arse
nate of lead to fifty gallons of water is
effective. At times it is necessary to
use five pounds of arsenate of lead to)
fifty gallons of water as some insects di
not readily succomb to a small amount!
of the poison. J
"The dry sprays are applied in a pow-j
dered form, and there are a number oi
these on the market, including several
tiranrla nf rviarrlereil araatidlN if lal I
I'aris green and arsenate of lead, when
pure, are as efiicient as any, although at
the present time I'aris green is more in
use than the the other. I'aris green
applied to plants in an unadult ratel
condition may seriously burn the foli
age. To obviate this difficulty it should
be mixed with 20 or 25 pounds of air
slaked lime, fine road dust or wheat
flour for every pound of the I'aris green
This may be applien with a dust gun or
sifted on the plants by means of
gunny sack. Hellebore in a powdered
form and fresh is valuable for poisoning
such insects as injure small fruits or
vegetables wliich are ready for market
and thus are too far advanced for poison
to be desirable. It should be dusted
over them when they are wet with dew.
