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. Waterloo (Iowa) Daily Re

. This beautiful pastoral drama in three
acts will be produced at Steward's opera
house on Monday night the 1 1 inst. by

many amusing and laughable incidents.

rendered by H. E. Coolidge; the comedy
partt by E. L. Eckley, Mrs. Maud Simpson
Scroggin and Adna B. Rogers; while the

Mrs. Lillian Bates Richardson; "A visitor
from 'the ould sod." by Mrs. Maud Simp
son Scroggin: , and "Father Waland's
niece," by Mrs. Ethel De Vere.

will be made to make it the success of
the season.

The afternoon was taken up with ar

guard and having beguiled Evelyn while
she was yet but thirteen and two thirds
years old. The letter was read to the

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. Its claims are
certainly stronger than those acknow
ledged by Dr. Billings.

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

sidered at this 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

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.
