BUTTERFLIES
- INFEST CITY
rtttESIDENCE AND BUSINESS SEC
TIONS SWAKIMING ;
Many-Hued Butterflies ('nose Much
: ' Cogitation. ' '
Varied and brilliancy colored but-'
terfllej nave made La Grande a visit
in schools of thousands and almost ev
ery Btreet Is a fluttering mass. . The
visitation ta indeed unusual and no
particular section of 'the city seems
exempt, for the erstwhile caterpillars
are visible everywhere. The advent of
.the butterflies has been noticed for the
. past several days' but as time goes
on the number Increases .very rapid
ly and even the, down tdwn sections
are now in the same class as the rest
dence districts. They were first .dis
covered In any appreciable quantity
on Fourth street and from there the
many-hued insects spread to adjoining
streets and bo on all over the city.
Many cjiUBea are advanced to account
for the strange gathering of butter-
flies but none appear plausible.
DAMAGE SUIT HAItfl) FOUGHT.
5La Grande Official Testifies at Baker
Dunmge Suit,
"Baker, Sept. 12. Attorney Nichols,
attorney for Mrs. Viola Shepard, of
Huntington, in her suit for damages
against the O.-W. R. & N. for the death
'Of her husband, finished his case yes-
terday forenoon about 10:30. Imrae-
dlately Attorney Spencer, of. the rail
road's counsel, moved for a non suit.
From that time until nearly two
o'clock he argued, and immediately
Mr. Nichols took up the argument for
the plaintiff, and when he concluded
' the motion of Mr. Spencer was dis
allowed by the court The defense
then began its case.
Assistant Division Superintendent
Buckley, of La Grande, was the first
. witness called. His testimony was
largely concerning the rules In regard

dergolng repairs In railroad yards.
A large number of witnesses from
Huntington were on the stand, yes
terday, and testified that the yard men
were Instructed to get the fast freight '
on which Shepafd was working at the
time of his death, through the yards
as fast as possible, In fact, stated that
they were instructed to get it through 1
in less than an hour and a half. Some ,
testimony was to the effect that the
repair men had been ordered to violate
the rule that a blue signal be placed
on the cars being repaired at it took
too much time. To prove violation of
the rules te the object of the defense. '
The case will probably occupy the
greater part of today.
. Embassy Sites Are Chosen.
Washington, Sept. 13. The state de
partment is encountering considerable
difficulty' In flndlngsultable sites for
embassy and legation sites abroad. I
When congress passed the bill for pur- j
chase by this government of such build
lugs, It named $J .'0,000 as the maxi
mum price which could be paid for any
one building. From estimates submit
ted to the deoartment It now appears
i
that this restriction may prevent Un
cle Sam owning homes for his diplo
matic officers In any tt the big foreign
cities. '
It Is only at. the smaller posts, It is
said, that the government will be able
to purchase sites within this figure. It
is possible that the state department
may ask congress to make an excep
tion in certain cases to permit of ex
tension ot the law to such cities as
London, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Paris
and others.

Insect Powder Defined.
'Washington, Sept. 13. The .depart
ment of agriculture in a grave legal
opinion, Just Issued, has ffeclded that
"insect powder" must be made of now-
dered chrysanthemum flowers.;
Henceforth, a manufacturer of bug
destroyer who labels his product 'in
sect powder," and puts such perfectly
good insecticides In the concoction as
tobacco or hellebore, will be liable to
prosecution as an adulterator.. :
The board," the decision reads,
"holds that the term 'insect powder' is
used In both' a generic and specific
sense, the former applying' In cases
whep no attempt Is made to designate
a particular article. A similar condi
tion exists in the use of the word
'flour.' There may be 'rye flour,' for
instance, but the word 'flour', standing
alone and used to designate a specific
article, means 'wheat flour.' Similar
ly there may be helebore insect dow-
der and tobacco Insect powder but the
term 'Insect powder used without a
Qualification, signifies a definite article
Insect powder made from powdered
heads ot a specie of chrysanthemums."
Hereafter "Insect powder." if lah
