Sanpy, July 21. The travel up to Mount
HimhI nil Int week was lively as has ever
been seen. The people eaiue out by hun
dreds in carnages, buggies, wagons, and in
stage and on bicycles, and with everything
el in the shape of a vehicle you could im
agine. Among others two ladies and a gen
tleman came out from Portland afoot, A
great many ol our neighboring people
emit into town to witness the fire on ML
Hood Thursday night. They climbed on
the top of fences and on roofs of bouses,
and even up Hr trees, and after waiting for
hours without seeing any bonfire the people
left for their homes very much disap
pointed. On Friday a man came down from Mount
Hood afoot and reported that some one had
stolen his clothes and blankets, and it was
so cold be nearlv froie to death. He also I
said the bontirc did not come off on account
of a heavy thunder storm which passed over
the mountain on Thursday. It is said that
there are about ltX people up at the moun-
tain and that 127 of them reached the sum
tuiL Ever? one coming down now says it
is pretty cold although all seem well pleased
with the trip.
Since the travel to the mountain began to
boom reports of robbery have been preva
lent Some thief broke into the house of
Mr. Failing and took such things as pota
toes, butter and bread. At the flour mill
some thief gained an entrance by breaking
open the door, but it is said that be
could n t rind anything to make use of, so
nothing was taken.
Last Monday as our teacher came to

struck a big fir tree a few yards from Mr.

W1IKAT AND TIIK APHIS.
The Corvallts (isnelte says of the ellcct of
the aphis on wheat: From the conflicting
re pons rviiiirdtiig tha ellcct of the grain
aplils, it is liiiimssihie to determine whether
the pest has done serious damage or not.
From all Hirliona of the eouulv we have
heard that It had worked sad havoc with
both spring and tall grain, and not only had
its serious ellecls been noticed Umu the
wheat, hut upon the oats, barley and rvn.
From the same localities we have Immui in
formed that no injury is thus lar apparent,
the beads being well tilled and the grains
plump,
A peculiar worm made its appearance
during the last ten days thai leeda on the
aphis with the greed ot a glutton, and is re
ported to be doing good service in various
parts of the county. It is gray in color and
attains a length of less than an inch, Its
. work is accomplished by climbing up a
I stalk ot grain, devouring me aphis as It
goes on and reaching the head, it tails to
the ground and repeats the operation. In
some fields the aphis has entirely disap
p'ared, which is, no doubt, due to the
hoggish proclivities of the worm as well as
the faithful performance of its duty.
A correct idea of the damaue ol the aphis
will not tie known until alter the grain ha
been threshed. From the fact that the pest
sucked the sap while the w heal was vet In
the dough, it is generally supposed that It
will have a tendency to shrivel the grain
and tlun reduce the yield and lessen the
rice. Wherever the grain has been simi
larly atTecled in the East, Prolesor Wash
burn says, it has been customary with
warehousemen to grade it, audit isprohahle
that the practice will prevail here tills sum
mer. While it is iiudouhtedly true thai the
gram alleeted by the pest should lie graded,
uuscruimliuis dealers, if any aich there lie,
may take advantage of the 'clrcunistunce to
depreciate the price of the commodity and
tanners should look to it that they are not
deceived. It will lie a very easy n atter to
"take in" the unwary grower, who has
never before had exfeneiue with the ih's! or
the grain upon which it lias worked, and
such will serve their best interests by inafc
ling a earetul investigation of the 'matter
j before disposing ol their cro s ut a greatly
rvuuceu price.

Ki'TLCiHis, Sherman Co., July i".
To tiis Kihtok: 1 will comply with our
reipiest and give you a few lines relative to
the coiniltioi. of crops in this part of Ore
gon. The chief crop raised here is wheat
which is belter this season than ever before;
so say the residents of this coun'y. Fall
sown grain is now being headed and look
tine. Some volunteer wheat, of liich there
is considerable, will yield thirty-live bushels
per acre. The spring grown grain is in
danger of being scorched by the hot winds,
but if this not within the next ten days it
will make a gooit crop.

The Life Itl.liirjr of Corals.
The life history of corals is sufficiently
remarkable in its sober facts. Like other
animals, they produce eggs, from which
free swimming young urn hatched. But
they have two other methods of propa
gation namely, gemmation and Uasi
parity. Between animals and plants in
general there is no distinction which
makes itself more prominent and ob
trusive than the free individual life of
the one and the fixed colouial life of the
other. By gemmation, the successive
putting forth of buds, au industrious
Vegetable, starting with a seed of insig
nificant size, may build a massive struc
ture, sometimes 400 feet iu height, the
resultant of individuals almost innumer
able, belonging to hundreds or thousands
of generations, all of them the living
members of a single family, successively
sacrificing their individuality to promote
the common good and to share it.
This procedure in plant life is illus
trated by an endless diversity of exam
ples, great and small. Whatever excep
tions there may be, this, to the ordinary
observer, is the customary, the common
place, the distinctive habit in the vege
table kingdom. Thus it came to pass
that men did not believe their own eyes
when they met with animals behaving
in a way that seemed to be the patent
right of vegetables. The isolated sea
anemone was well understood, but crea
tures of precisely similar structure,
which took to sprouting out of items
and brunches, had to be incontinently
handed over to the botanist. Edinburgh
