Army "Worm, and Farmers Tfeed Jiot Fear Presence Xext Tear. SALEM, Aug. 6. Lloyd T. Reynold. Commissioner of Horticulture for the Sec ond District, has discovered a parasite which preys upon the army worm and promises to exterminate the pest. "While spraying: potatoes, he mashed one of the army -worms and found that it was be ing devoured by smaller worms living In its interior. He made a thorough in vestigation and found that the ichneumon fly deposits its eggs in the army worms; that the eggs hatch out small, white worms; that these worms devour the army worms, leaving the vital parts until the last; that the army worms live until about the ilme of going Into the crysalls state, but never develop Into moths, and that the small white worms are evolved Into Ichneumon illes. Mr. Reynolds be Heves from his observations that the flies have made a general raid upon the worm and that the farmers need not fear a renewal of the ravages of this pest next ecason. State Educational Matters. County Superintendent R. F. Robinson, of, the Multnomah County schools, has resigned his position as a member of the State Board of Examiners. He gives the following reason for resigning: 'Having" been elected County Superintendent of Multnomah County, I deem it best, before entering upon the duties of the Superin tendoncy. to withdraw from the State Ez- amlnlng Board. While the statutes do not expressly forbid an examiner who has been elected to the County Superlnten donoy from continuing Tipon the State Board. In my opinion the spirit of the law Is that one person should not hold the two positions at the same time." The State Board of Education today arccpted Superintendent Robinson's resig nation, and elected J". S. Landers. Super intendent of Schools at The Dalles, to fill the vacancy. A vacancy In the board had also been created by the resigna tion of Thomas Newlln, of Xewberg, and City Superintendent D. M. Torder, of Sa lem, was elected to fllj the vacancy.

THRESHINGMACHETeS RJDK BEHIND Prices Charged Cause Loss of ?15 to $35 Per Day Increased. Cbsreei. DATTON, Or., Aug. 6. Several of the threshing machines that started up at the beginning of the season pulled in the middle of the week on account of not be ing able to make expenses, going behind from $15 to $33 per day, on account of the yield of grain being so light. It is reported that the owners of machines held a meeting and agreed to raise the price of the threshing to 7 and 8 cents per bushel. The outlook for hops around this place Is very promising, except in a few small yards, where the owners got discouraged from the loss sustained last year and did not cultivate. These yards are not all promising. A light sprinkle of rain yesterday and today causes the farmers to feel uneasy, remembering well last season's rain at this time of the year. POOR HARVEST GENERAL.

The straw was very heavy and the heads large, the stand being thick, yet when threshed the result was a grand average of 13 bushels per Uacre. On the other hand, the poor-look-ring crops make as many sacks to the acre as do the flne-appearlng fields. The grain production is all the way from 6 to 16 bushels per acre, the latter figure being the highest heard of in this sec tion of the country for wheat. POOR YIELD OF FALL WHEAT.

WILL CAUSE DISCUSSION BOUNDARY LIKES "WILL CONTROVERSY OYER ALASKA. Provisions of Modus Vivendi. Carried Out by Government Officials State Department Explains Situation. TVASHINGTON, Aug. 2. There is likely to be a Breat deal of discussion follow- JSL1 VyZ.?L Aati WU,UCM.J. AUC dlb UiUV UUAWCid Ui the American and British Governments have marked the lines provided for In the modus vlvendl is sufficient to start the controversy anew. We will probably hear a great deal of discussion about the whole affair. The modus vlvendl agreed to October 20, 1S9$, by Secretary Hay on behalf of the United States, and Reginald Tower, Charge d'Affalrs of the British Embassy, Is as follows: "It Is hereby agreed between the gov ernments of the United States and of INTERNATIONAL Great Britain, that the boundary line be tween Canada and the Territory of Alas ka in the region about the head of Lynn Canal shall be provisionally fixed as fol lows without prejudice to the claims of either party in the permanent adjustment of the international boundary: "In the region of the Dalton Trail, a line beginning at the peak -west 'of Porcu pine Creek, marked on the map No. 10 of the United States Commission De cember 31, 1S95, and on sheet No 18 of the British Commission, December1 31, 1895, with the number 6500; thence run ning, to the Klehlhl (or Klahoela) River in the direction of tho peak north of that river marked 5020 on the aforesaid United States map and 5025 on the aforesaid British" map; thence following the high or right bank of the said Klehlnl River to the Junction. thereof wjth.the Chilkat River, a mile and a half, more .or less, north of Klukwan provided that persons proceeding to or from Porcupine Creek shall be freely permitted to follow the trail between the said creek and'the said junction of the rivers, lifto and across the territory on the Canadian side of the temporary line wherever the trail crosses to such side. and. subject to such rea sonable regulations for the protection of tho revenue as the Canadian Government may prescribe, to carry with them over such part or parts of the trail between the said points as may He on the Cana dian side of the temporary line, such goods and-1 articles as they desire, with out being required , to pay any 'custom duties on such goods and artloles; and from said Junction to the summit of the peak east of the Chilkat River marked on the aforesaid map No. 1C of the Unlted'States Commission wlth'the num ber 6410 and on the map No. 17 of 'the aforesaid British Commission with the number 5490. "On the Dyea and Skagway Trails, the summits of the Chllcoot and White Passes. "It is understood, as formerly set forth in communications of the Department of State of the United States, that-the citl- .zens or subjects of either power, found by this arrangement within the temporary Jurisdiction of 'the other, shall suffer no diminution of tho rights and privileges which thoy now enjoy. "The Government of the United States will at once appoint an officer or offi cers in conjunction with an officer or officers' to be named by the government of Her Britannic Majesty, to mark the temporary line agreed upon by the erec tion of posts, 'stakes.- or other appro priate temporary marks." It will be observed frqm the map that the provisional boundary is Incomplete and In three parts, the longest being at Chilkat River, above Klukwan. There Is another stretch at the suinmlt of Chil- koot Pass, and another at White Pass. So much discussion has followed the pub lication of the fact that the men were at work upon the boundary, that the fol lowing statement was obtained at the State Department, a svnopsls of which has heretofore been published: statement of State Department. "The heated discussion of the modus vlvendl on the Alaska frontier in certain New York "papers has created the Im pression that it is' something new which is being discussed. No negotiations have taken place between this country and England, for nearly a year. The discus sion began long ago. and lasted until last Summer. On the 20th of October, 1S99, an agreement for a temporary and pro visional boundary line was arrived at be tween the .Secretary of State and Regi nald Tower, of the British Embassy,, and no further action has been taken by this Government, except the appointment of a member of the Coast Survey, who, in con junction with another Commissioner ap pointed by the Canadian Government, Is now running the line agreed upon last year. "There has been no settlement of the question of the permanent boundary be tween the United States and Alaska. The discussion of this matter has lasted for many yeans. It has Its origin In a dis puted Interpretation of the" Russian-English treaty'of February 2S, 1825, by which the boundary agreed upon was a line fol lowing the 'sinuosities of the 'coast' at a distance of 10 marine leagues, except where the mountain range bordering tjie coast approached it nearer than that dis tance. In which case the mountain range was to be the boundarv. At the time the treaty was made little was known either of the sinuosities of the coast or of the mountain range, and. therefore, -when the countrv came to be surveyed and mor or loss settled, constant dis putes arose as to the- boundary. "The United States contended that the boundary went around the head of Lynn Canal at a distance of 10 marine leagues, ---i . , , ' J - - 1 " i;- - ivX - -..ft5 - V-7 ,. - y'V t -w v? , $3kH' t yX Y v except where the CoastJtange approached nearer than that to the sea. The Cana dians and the British Government In sisted that the whole of Lynn Canal and the adjoining region fell within Cana REVTVE i d,an territory. No settlement was arrived at Dy negotiation, ana wnen ine joint High Commission of some years ago came into being, it wasted the greater part of Its time in a vain discussion of the mat ter. It was equally impossible to agree upon a plan of arbitration. Reason for a Modus Vivendi. "After the adjournment of the Joint High Commission the two governments, finding It Impossible to come to an agreer- 1 ment on the subject of the boundary, at- temnted to asrree upon a "modus vlvendl. i Y"?'U L f'd17lnt Ui 1 L2) JCiiiiaUCUb liUM . MV WUl, TOVkA.u ' enable them to agree upon a temporary arrangement to suspend the long-stand ing dispute between them. "The British and Canadians were ex tremely anxious for a foothold upon the coast If they could not get the whole of the t"let of the Lynn Canal, which they claimed, they Insisted strenuously on at least having a portion of it and a harbor in tide water. "This pretension was with equal energy resisted by the Government of the "United BOUNDARY ACCORDING TO States, who at last succeeded in getting the British Government to accept the American contention and to draw the line at the Junction of the Chilkat and Tlehlnl, Rivers, some miles north of the most northerly Indian settlement In Alaska, and taking In the valley of Porcupine Creek to file point where it enters Into the Tlehlnl. The line is thus removed no less than 10 miles from tidewater. Guarding; American Rights. "For the purpose of guarding the rights of any American miners who by the mo dus vlvendl should be found outside of the,temporary line thus drawn, the United States Insisted upon the following pro vision: " Tt is understood as formally set forth in communications of the Department of State of the United States, that the citizens or subjects of either power found by this arrangement within the tempo rary Jurisdiction of the other shall suffer no diminution of the rights and privileges which they now enjoy.' "It will be seen by this statement that, so far from the United States having 'ceded to Great Britain a territory as large as the State of Rhode Island,' they have not ceded to Great Britain one inch of territory, and that in the mutual con cessions which made tKe modus vlvendl possible Great Britain temporarily yielded to the United States fully nlneteen-twen-tleths of the territory In dispute."

SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta, Sa STRONG ARM OF EMPEROR REACHES TO THE REMOTEST PARTS v OP THE "WORLD. Kaiser "William's Speech at the Un- velliiisr of the Statue of the Great Elector. BIELEFELD, Prussia, Aug. 6. At the unveiling of the statue of the great elec tor today, Emperor William delivered a notable speech, dwelling on the dark days of the Thirty Years' War and the- "Im perishable service" rendered by Frederick William In building up the country in the hope of establishing a great northern empire, which one day shall draw to gether the fatherland. "This wonderful result," said the Em peror, "has finally been fulfilled, and chiefly because every Prince has been ani mated by the consciousness that he was only an earthly governor, and had to ren der an account to a higher King. To me, it is perhaps granted to fulfill a part of tho great elector's dream. What he could only point to we are now able to take up on a larger scale, because we are united in the fatherland and marching forth In an army consisting of sons of every hamlet in Germany, to support the black, white and red of the flag, which shows that the arm of the Kaiser reaches to the remotest part of the world. With out the great elector this would have .been Impossible. If every- one takes the same view of the task of the' elector, I am convinced that great times are still In store for our great fatherland." - CHILEAN CONSUL MURDERED. Rumor Causes Alarm In.
