The boy, Coin Harvey, will find
that the present oampaign can get
long without a new edition of hia
great work on how to get rioh by
' multiplication.
Tse failure of the Democrats to
denounce the annexation of Hawaii
was doubtless due to the fact that
the vote of Hawaii alone enabled
lbem to revive the 16 to 1 corpse.
Bets of 4 to 1 that McKinley
will be re-elected president have al
ready been made. A Ntw York
itepublican, who had ' $10,000 to
wager, at 3 to 1, found no enthusi
astic Democratic takers.
Ex-President Cleveland is still
disgusted with the Demooi atic party
because of its 16 to 1 plaok. What
lie thinks of his former partner,
Adlai Stevenson, for running on
that plank is not recorded.
The Nebraska Colonel Orator's
ideas concerning the Philippines
are about as clear as hie ideas about
finance, both being more service
able for campaign purposes than as
a working basis for government.
' Senator Bacon has been pound
ing away at the Philadelphia plat
form. Senator Bacon is the gentle
man who recently distinguished
himself by not being able to tell
the difference between toadstools
and mushrooms.
itp jurisdiction than any other na
tion. No two of the territories are
governed exactly alike; yet all are
governed by congress, and none of
them by the constitution. The Dia
tnot of Columbia, Alaska, Arizona,
Hawaii, New Mexico and Oklahoma
all have, in some respects, different
government's, and the constitution
extends to none of them. The
United States exercises juris lictiou
over and governs something like
seventy different islands. Thev are
all governed by congress, and theee
governments differ in aooordanoe
with theoapacity of the inhabitants.
The cry of imperialism is as hollow
as it is insincere, and is only a party
shibboleth to catch votes. It is too
transparent and void of meaning to
deceive or mislead any intelligent
voter.

THEY WANT A NEW ROAD.
An Army of Army Worms.
It is a good thing that the Dem
ocratic party has no reputation to
lose for accuracy of statement.
Facts are stubbornly against them.
They are wrong on silver. . They
are wrong in predicting distress in
Porto Rico. They are wrong in pre
dicting the doom of the republic in
the event of McKinley's re-eleotion,
and they are wrong by about a mil
lion and a half votes in their fore
casts as to the election of their can
didate in November.
Our Democratic friends have not
taken their stand on the Chinese
trouble, and Bryan has nothing to
ay yet. Probably after a while
they may endorse the Boxers just
as many of them side with the
Filipinos, who made a similar effort
to assassinate our troops at Manila
over a year ago. Bryan approved
the Pans treaty, giving Sain $20,
000,000 to stop further fighting and
deliver over the Philippines and
Porto Rico, and then kicked after
wards about holding them, hence he
is now acting more cautiously for
doing politics ahead of patriotism.
It seems strange that the ques
tions of imperialism and militarism
should have never been raised until
after the acquisition of the new de
- pendencies. It seems never to have
occurred to those who originated
v these hollow phrases that the United
;! JStates has a greater number of dif
ferent kinds of government under

Fort Klamath, July 28, 1900.
Editor Medford Mail: The
citizens of Wood river valley are
anxious, as well as those of Rogue
river valley, to have a road run di-
I rect from Prospect to Fort Klamath.
The distance to Prospect postoffice
from Fort Klamath on the old mili
tary road is torty-seven miles, and
the desired road is about twenty
four, making a difference of forty
six miles in the round trip. The
citizens here are willing to join
with the citizens of Rogue river
valley and put the road through
immediately, if matters can be so
arranged. The expense of the pro
posed road v ill not exceed five
hundred dollars.
Can you not call a meeting of the
business men of Rogue river valley
and have the matter put iu s
to push the entemrise throueh?
We have had taik enough; let us
go to wonc. bhould you call a
meeting please let us know, and we
will send a representative to it.
Hoping we will get a move on, I
remain, Yours truly,
Daniel Cronemiller.
P. S. I have written to Com
missioner Hermann in regard to
the right of way across the timber
reserve. D. C.
The above mentioned road mat
ter was taken up by Medford mer
chants several months ago and
something over $100 was at that
time subscribed and the canvass
was only about half completed.
The reason it was not then pushed
to a completed issue was that some
disagreement arose as to the exact
location of the road. The Mail
has been given almost positive as
surance that $200 can be raised in
Medford alone for the purpose above
mentioned. The objeot is a worthy
one and our business men are alive
to the good it will be to the people
of both Klamath and Jackson
Counties. Mr. Cronemiller can rest
assured that we will do our share
and more. Ed

. The peat whloh hits boon working no
end of damage to growing drops In
several bcoUodb ot tho state during the
past week or two Is now gouerally do
U noil as the army worm. Its modo ot
operation and tho geuoral destruction
wliioli follows lis appaamriue itro pruotl
oally tho same tn overy quarter. The
eamo pest IntusUxl a ow parts of tliu
state four or flvo yours ago, and grout
damage resulted. This year, howovei'w
the worm uppnars.to bo a rank ex pun
alonUt, and Is capturing a largo amount
of territory, to tho terror ot Its Inhnb-
itants. Tno former roign of tho pest
ranged from 10 to 15 days, wliluh gives
reason for belief that its present visit
will soon ond.
Some eon ton ml tho post with the cut
worm, but It Is of a muoli darker line.
The army worm's color is grayish
brown, ami it varies in lougih from
ono to two Inches. In its fully devel
oped state It is a gray moth about an
inoh long. The eggs hatch lh a very
short time after being deposited In the
ground. Tbey numbor millions, and
warm weather Is ospeolally favorable
to their propagation.
The vermin confines its attack' to
growing vegetation, and seems unable
to appease its appetite. By night, as
well as by day, It carries on its dosdly
operations. Daylight findB its efforts
directed at the root of the plant or tree,
while the nlgbt hours are employed to
remove the follago. They leave no
leaves on any stalk sot upon, and a
clover Held, after their visit, presents
a viow much like a stubble field. So
f.ir, their atlaoka have largely boon
upon alover fields and vegetable pint
but within the past few days a dlsuosl
tion to ravage fruit trees has been
sbown.
DAMAOK IN DirrSKKNT SECTIONS.
Vegetable gardens have suffored most
in and around Portland. Potatoes fare
the worst of all vegetables. The tops
first disappear, to be followed by the
tubers in tho ground. Along the Col
umbia river and In the farming country
tributary to Portland, the potato crop
has suffored heavily. In Clackamas
County the dumnge is considerable, and
covers fruit, garden, corn and root crops,
The worms were first observed in tho
clover Holds. Apple orchards around
Marquam, Clackamas County, are in
eluded in their territory, and it is feared
the crop will bo a light one there.
The second growth of clover hay Is
suffering greatly In Marlon County. In
a number of fields the gross is devoured
below the surface of the ground. The
worms are to be found in great numbers
In the croo just harvested, and in many
instances literally cover the floors of
some barns. Vegetables were passed
until this week, but urn now subjected
to heavy siege. Around Woodbnrn
prune trees have been divested of every
bit of foliage. At Dayton tho clover
fields and potato fields have been levied
upon, and are meeting with rapid do
structloe. The worms are also spread
ing to other vegetables.
A vast anny of the worms has just
appeared at breenleaf, on the Sluslaw,
and the farmers are fearful lest the en
tire vegetable crop be taken. At Al
pha and Dead wood they have destroyed
everything, showing a preference for
clover.
r rom l,oos County comes the report
of entire fields of clover being eaten by
the army worm. Vegetable and root
crops are also subjected to the attacks
of the pest.

evening of Saturday, July 28, 1900, In
