DEATH TO ARMY WORM
PARASITE DISCOVERED WHICH

"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

The State Board of Education today
granted Miss Susie P. Carty. of La
Grande, a state permit, upon the credit

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.
Benton County Grain Runs From 5
to 10 Bushels Per Acre.
MONROE. Or., Aug. 6. Most discour
aging reports of grain yield continue to
come from every direction. On the farm
of James Herron a piece of Summer
fallow with a crop of Fall wheat prom
ised a heavy yield. Any one with- knowl
edge of such matters would have
guessed. the crop to return at least 30
bushels per acre. 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.
Only Three and a Half Bushels Per
Acre on l-40O-Acre Tract.

Provisions of Modus Vivendi. Carried

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."

As the blood contains all the elements necessary to sustain life, it is impor
tant that it be kept free of'all imparities; or it becomes a sonrce of disease,
poisoning instead of nourishing the body, and loss of health is sure to fellow.
Some poisons enter the blood from without, through the slcin by absorption, or
inoculation ; others from within, as when waste products accnrnnlate in the
system and ferment, allowing disease germs to develop and be-tafcen into the
circulation. While all blood troubles have one common origin, each has some
peculiarity to distinguish it from the other. Contagion!. Blood Pofjon, Scrofula,
Cancer, Rheumatism, Eczema and other blood diseases can be distinguished by
a certain sore,-ulcer, eruption or inflammation anDearini- on the skin. Rerv btooH
disease shows sooner or later on the outside and on the wealtest part of the body, or where it finds the least resistance.
Many mistake the sore or outward sign for the real disease, and attempt a cure by the use of salves, liniments and otheJ
external applications. Valuable time is lost and no permanent benefit derived from such treatment.

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."
