Jaekrabblu Attack Tree.
Jackrabblts In large numbers are
overrunning the Lfwlston orchard
section, and protection to the young
fruit trees has been msde necessary,
says the Lrwlston Teller.
The rsbblts are particularly fond of
the bark of the young trees, and their
depredations have resulted In a sum
ber of trees being killed. During the
past few days men have been engaged
In wrapping the trees with tarred pa
per and steps have been taken to ex
terminate the rabbits. '
Carrots containing strychnine have
been scattered In th sections where
th rsbblts rang and hunting partis
are shooting the rabbits by moonlight.

Every day adds a name or tw$ to
the list of people who are going to
avail themselves ot the low rates to
the coast with the special train that
leaves here August tl. Twenty names
are already down for berths and
doubtless before the train arrives the
number wiH be doubled. In Baker
City over 100 tickets have already
been sold, . that number Including
those who will go from the county at
large. The rates are so low that many
will take advantage of the opportuni
ty to visit the seashore at a very low
expense.' Those who are thinking of
going should make reservations for
their berths at an early date, as the
number of standard berths set aside
for La Grande may be limited.
Postpone Lumber Rates.
Bon Francisco. Aug. ... IS. Lumber
carrying railroads of the Pacific coast,
which were ordered by the Interstate
commerce commission to reduce their
rates on lumber and Its products, ef
fective today, have been granted an
extension of time until October 15. It
was Bhown by the carriers Involved
that It would be Impossible to check
up rates and file new tariffs In time
to become effective today".
Assurance was given the commission
by some of the carriers that if the ex
tension were granted they would not
apply for an Injunction to restrain the
commission's order from becoming ef
fective. However, the 'carriers ex
pressly retain the right to test the
reasonableness of the rates ordered by
the commission In a suit to be brought
for that purpose, or In suits which
may develop out 'of reparation claims
ms.de by shippers who have been ship
ping under the advanced rates.
This does not Include the case In
volving rates from the Willamette val
ley to San Francisco In which the
Southern Pacific has already filed a
petition at San Francisco asking for
an Injunction against the commission's
order.
