AMUSEMENT THURSDAY EVENING Closing of the Popular Course of 1906 7. Dr, Driver's great lecture. One great lecture delivered by an orator inspires one to be more and do more for self and the world. Do not fail to hear this man of who people are saying such good things. Tickets at Selder's. Dr. Driver is one who would be singled out of a thousand for , his commanding physique and all pervading unique per sonality. He demonstrated his right to be classed with the profound students and magnificent orators of the. ciuntry. He ran the gamut of the emotions of his udience as deftly as a skillful pianist fingers the keys of a cherished piano. Colorado Springs (Colo.) Gazette. -The Star Course lecture by Driver was one of the most entertaining and satis factory ever giver in Owosso. No other lecturer ever gave expression to more sound ideas, reasonable theories and his torical facts, and at the same time work ed in more bits of of fun and humor than Dr. Driver did last night. Owosso (Mich) The lecture proved to be one of the very test ever given by any lecturer in Waterloo. Never was an audience in the city better pleased with an evening's en tertainment.

A MEDICAL COHfCSSlON t Dr. Frank Billings (Chicago) president American Medical Association, says in Journal American Medical Association May?, 1903., ', "In the vast majority of infectious disease we are hopeless to apply a speci fic cure". , "Drugs with the exception of quinine in malaria and mercury in Syphilio are are valueless as cures." . "The prevention and cure of infectious disease is a problem that scientific medi cine must solve. The above words from so noted a phy sician give weight to the fact that so un certain a ecience should not possess Leg islative monoply. Osteopathy asked the Oregon Legisla ture for a square deal.

COUNTY COURT Yesterday afternoon the members of the county court made a flying trip up the river to overlook the high water situa tion. They found that two of the bridges were gone and decided that they would replace them with steel ones ' also place them considerably higher above the water than the old ones. - . Tomorrow the various impliment deal ers will meet with the court and submit plans and bids for furnishing the county with a rock crusher and a steam road roller. It is the intention of the court to do some road work this coming season, J. B. Eaton, the expert who has been preparing a report of the condition of the various county offices submitted his report today and the same will be properly con sidered at this term. James McRae of Summerville, who re ceived the appointment as county stock inspector,, filed his bond today and duly qualified. Mr. McRae takes the place of S. M. Goff of Elgin, whose term of office expired the first of this year. VAJUABLE SUGulSTIOH Mr. Editor: . As spring time approaches our minds naturally begin to work in the direction of seed time and harvest for another year. While the farmers, work consist' largely of preparing the soil for seeding, the fruit man's work is pruning, spray ing et cetria. It ie estimated that farm products des troyed, each year in the U. S. by insects aggregate the vast sum of $700,000,000 or more than the entire expenditures of the National Government. To this vast sum must be added the value of cops destroyed by fungous diseases which would bring the total to at least a billion dollars. Thus one of the most serious problems that confront the American Agriculturist is that of controlling the insect and fungous enemies of his crop. The Romans used to require the inhabi tants of infested districts to destroy cer tain quantities of grass hoppers. In the middle ages the methods used for the destruction of insecte was largely spiritual. Priests sometimes marched around in fested fields praying. Only in the last quarter of a century have scientific me-t hods of controlling insect and fungous enemies been devised. With the appearance and rapid march of Colorado potato beetle across the country from 1860 to 1870 there came into use the poison Parisgreen which was destined to revolutionize spraying methods In 1878 it was found that this poison spray effectively checked the codling A Pastorial Drama in three acts by local Talent of La -Grande and 2 P RinFS Orehestra $ .75 Orchestra Circle Dress Circle .50 allery 25c. and 50c, moth and this gave a new impetue to the warfare against insecte aoout 10 yea s from thie time sprays for fungous diseaees were very much used in America. Great strides have been made in the science of spraying during the past 20 yeare and American farmers now have a very formidable array of materials and elaborate machinery for their application. Paris Green, arcenate of lead and whit arcenio are standard poison sprays for biting insects. Sucking insects, like plant lice, San Jos Scale etc must be fought with a different spray from biting insects and fungi. The most effective eprays for sucking insects are soaps, oils and the lime-sulphur wash, Bordeaorx mixture has come to the almost universal fungicide in this country. In our country the coding moth and apple anthracnose are our principal enemies in fact the only serioue ones at present and it has been fully demonstrat ed that they can be practically controled by due care and diligent attention at the proper time. And as the season advan ces we should look well to our Interests and take care of our crops if we would have a beautiful har vest. C. D. Huffman. AT THE SCATEH Iffl l.
