IMPORTED BUGS FOR ORCHARDS.
Plan to Rid Jackson County of the
San Jose Scale.
JACKSONVILLE, Or.. Sept. S. (Special.)
At the' meeting of the Rogue River
Fruit Growers' Union held here today, S.
1 Bennett, president of the union, was In
the Chair. A. H. Carson, commissioner for
the Third Horticultural district, was in
troduced and spoke at length on the neces
sity of a broader and more perfect union
of the fruit industry, to. meet the. influence
of other associated industries. His ad
dress was plain, simple and practical and
listened to with much Interest.
Professor E. R. Lake, botanist and hor
ticulturist of the "State Agricultural Col
lege, spoke on the subject of fruitgrow
ing from a business and scientific stand
point, and showed the necessity of an In
telligent selection of stock to meet the
demands of the market. He said the best
quality of fruit, though much, higher in
price than the ordinary goods, sold more
readily, and that the demand for first
quality was practically without limit, and
that It would constantly increase. Mr.
Lake's address was both scientific and
practical and covered pretty generally the
whole field of horticulture. The professor
concluded by saying from his observa
tions that the one' Important demand of
the valley was -a suitable cannery for 'the
preservation of a large amount of fruit
which now goes to waste.
Professor A. B." Cordley, entomologist
of the State Agricultural College, called
attention to the great good that had been
accomplished in California by the intro
duction of the Australian Lady-Bird
beetle which had cleared the orange and
lemon orchards of the destructive Cushion
scale. He then spoke of the general dis
tribution of the San Jose scale In this
country and the world-wide search that
has" been made, under the auspices of the
United States Entomologist for the orig
inal home of the scale, in the hope that
some similar Lady Bird might be found
to feed upon and destroy it, and told of
the success -which has attended the
search. The professor said he had suc
ceeded in o"btalnIng through Dr. Howard
some .of these beetles and. exhibited them
at. the meeting. The professor stated that
he: wished to introduce them here If he
could find ,a suitable place where they
would not be disturbed by spraying.
The Lady Birds were placed In Peter
Brltt's orchard, In Jacksonville, and their
growth and. operations will be watched
with much Interest.

Oregon City Bank.
OREGON CITY, Sept. 8. (Special) C.
A; Ryan, of TVilholt, Clackamas County,
has "been missing since Saturday morning,
and his family is apprehensive lor his
safety.
Mr. Ryan left his home at the springs
last Saturday morning, coming to Oregon
City, where he cashed a check for $150 on
a ibcal bank. Since he neither gambled
nor drank, the -suspicions of the family
that he has met with foul play are
strengthened. His home life was pleasant
and his relatives are satisfied that he has
been done away with. When he left home
ho told the members of the family that he
would return as soon as he could transact
the business that called him to this city.
Ryan Is described as a man 5 feet 9
inches high, weight 155, and aged 41 years.

OYSTER INDUSTRY GROWING.
Five Hundred Men Engaged in the
Buicinenn on Shonlwater Bay.
NAHCOTTA. "Wash., Sept & (Special.)
Oyster planting and gathering on Shoal
water Bay is last growing into a large
and profitable Industry. Fully 500 men
and more than 100 boats are engaged In
the business. The natural beds are south
of this place on the bay and at Mena
Flats. .The bivalves are taken from these
boils' with grappling tongs, loaded Into
boa"t3 where -they are "sorted, ' the large
or matured are sacked and the young
ones are transplanted In beds at Bay Cen
ter, Oysterville and.Toke Pointy These
beds belong to Individuals and companies,
and are growing more valuahle every'
year. At Toke Point and Oysterville, a
great many carloads of young Eastern
oysters have been shipped In and trans
planted. These youngsters grow very
fast and become finer and fatter than
in their native warmer waters, they have
a richer flavor and are considered a finer
table delicacy than the far-famous Bluo
Points.
Notwithstanding the fact that the sea
son Is Just opening, 250 sacks are being
shipped to Portland each week and 500
sacks to San Francisco. Some shipments
are also made to Seattle and Tacoma, but
the great majority of the catch goes to
Portland and San Francisco. Oysterville
was at one time' the county seat of Pa
cific County, -and today is supported by
the oyster Industry alone.
SUCCESSFUL SUMMER SEASON.
Over Eighteen Thousand People
Handled by Ilixaco Road.
ILWACO. Wash., Sept. S. (Special)
Notwithstanding the fact that the Sum
mer has been cool and the season for sea
side pleasure short, the number of visi
tors at Long Beach, the Breakers and
Ocean Park has been large.
Superintendent Smith, of the I. R. &.
N. R. R., says that up to date his com
pany has handled about 18,000 people with
out taking any account of children, but as
a great many visitors come in over the
mail steamer Reliable from South Bend
and from Chinook, it is Impossible to
obtain at this point the exact number
that has taken their Summer outing on
this part of the coast. Thero are now
remaining less than 1000 visitors" at the
hotels and cottages, and most of them
will hie themselves to their city homes
before the 15th. Many will leave Monday
and the hotels expect to close on that
date. The I. R. & Nv has given a very
satisfactory service this season, trains
ijeing run as often as the travel demanded.
Extra launches have been used to carry
returning visitors to Astoria, so that none
have been compelled to stay longer than
they desired. This new departure has
been generally appreciated, as hereto
fore the regular steamer, plying between
this point and Astoria, was frequently
unable to carry the crowds.
The L R. & N. is doing a good "business
now hauling sawlogs from Shoalwater
Bay to the Columbia River, where they
are towed to Portland. This business has
but recently been developed, but it Is
taxing the rolling stock of the road- to
accommodate It.
TO PROPAGATE THE! SOCKEYES.
Commissioner Kershaw "Will Try to
Fix Ternur'WIth Canadians.
WHATCOM, Wash., Sept. S. State Fish
Commissioner Kershaw left today for
Washington, D. C, where he goes to urge
upon Secretary of State Hay the neces
stly lor diplomatic action between the
Washington and Ottawa Governments
which will permit the State of Washing
ton or Puget Sound canncrymen in their
private capacities establishing sockeye
salmon hatcheries on the Fraser River,
the exclusive spawning ground of that
fish, and which flows entirely through
British Columbia Territory.
Steps taken by the British Columbia
authorities looking to the establishment
of these hatcheries by Americans have
in the past been disapproved at Ottawa.
The extremely short runs of the past two
years have convinced American and Brit
ish Columbia canners alike that the sup
ply has nearly been exterminated, and
that artificial propagation alone will re
store it.
They have placed the case before the
Canadian Minister of Marine and Fisheries
in the strongest possible way, and that
gentleman has invited Commissioner
Kershaw to call on him in Ottawa after
finishing with Secretary Hay, and to
gether they will try and agree on a
draft of a bill which will accomplish the
desired result, and" which the Canadian
Minister will urge the Canadian . Parlia
ment, then in session, to-pass.

committed suicide last night in a room in
the West Hotel, In this city. His body
was found in the room this morning, and

half of the fiery liquid, and death was al
most instantaneous, as he had not moved
from the .position he had taken In bed on
drinking the acid.
Johnson was a well-knpwh logger in
this vicinity,' and has no relatives as far
as known. HKhealth is assigned as the
ground for therash act, although he left
no message behind him. , He had sufficient
means to defray funeral expenses, and
friends will, look after his effects.
STRENUOUS TUG-OF-WAR,
Spectators of Aberdeen Terrified at
Struggles of Teams.
ABERDEEN, Wash.. Sept. 8. A tug-of-war
between a team of the Sailors' Union
and one from the Longshoremen's
Union on Labor day has brought out a
great deal of adverse criticism. The
teams were so equally divided that the
men held firmly for nearly an hour and
a half without one side gaining an Inch.
The strain was so great that some of
the men bled at the nose and others looked
as though their veins would burst.
The contest was Anally abandoned at
the protest of spectators.

given under the pledge of secrecy, only
to be- made public as speedily as the con

case was not Jeopardized by the disclos

as the story gained a misleading color in

MRS. TROMLEY IS ARRESTED
Wife of Tarred-and-Feathered Man
Accased of Larceny ls Bailee
Was About-to Leave Town With.
Obnoxious Spouse.
HILLSBORO, Or., Sept 8. (Special.)
The residence occupied by Mrs. Lizzie
Glshweiler-Tromley, the wife of the man
who was tarred and feathered, burned this
morning between 6 and 7 o'clock, and Mrs.
Tromley was for many hours in charge of
the local Constable, being examined be
fore Deputy District Attorney E. B.
Tongue.
The house had been awarded 'to Sylves
ter Vaughn, an aged man from Sea.ttle,
who sued for possession In the Circuit
Court on the ground that the women had
defrauded him out of the property. In
July of this year the woman married
Tromley In Vancouver, Wash., and came
back to Hillsboro to reside.
Then commenced riotous scenes about
tho place. Tromley would become Intoxi
cated on the wine kept In the house and
then go out and abuse neighboring wom
en, threatening to kill, and making a gen
eral nuisance of himself. This conduct so
exasperated the citizens of the town that
Tromley was treated to a coat of - tar and
feathers, and upon his return was lodged
In Jail on a charge of threatening to kill.
Tho firm of H. Wehrung & Son had a
chattel mortgage on Mrs. Tromley's house
hold effects, and after the tar-and-feather
incident instructed their attorney to col
lect their claim or sell out the property.
The matter dragged along until last week,
when Tromley and the authorities agreed
that he and his wife were to leave the
city, and the charge was to" remain over
his head. They were to have decamped
this evening.
As they had not settled the Wehrung
claim tho Constable went to the house
yesterday and notified the woman not to
pack up any of the furniture under mort
gage. He watched all day and part of the
night As soon as he had gone the val
uable piano and other furniture, all mort
gaged, was hauled to a barn In East
Htllshnro. n.t 2 o'clock this mnrninjr. The
climax came when a fire alarm was turned"
In this morning. The house was ruined
by the blaze, and several old sofas, bed
springs and chairs were visible in the
ruins.
When "asked where the piano was." she
stated to the attorney for the Wehrungs
that It had burned, and showed where it
was supposed to have stood. Pitchforks
were procured, and the entire floor care
fully searched, but no wire or other me
tallic substance could be discovered. This
led to an Investigation, and the piano and
accompanying furniture were found.
Charles Stewart who knew nothing of
the chattel mortgage, stated that the
woman had hired him to haul the piano
nnd furniture to his barn, and that she
was to pay him $25 for the service of se
creting the load and shipping it to her
after she had left Hlllsboro. The woman
was placed under arrest late thi3 after
noon on a charge of larceny by bailee, and
her bonds fixed at SS00.
The first question Mrs. Tromley asked,
after the fire, was whether or not the In
surance was yet covering the property.
She was told that the policy had been
canceled several days ago, when she was
notified to that effect Although the coal
oil can was found in the center of the
sitting-room after the fire,, no charge of
arson has been preferred. Mrs. Tromley
alleges she slept in her clothes all night,
and gives this as explanation as to why
she was fully dressed at so early an hour.
ROAD SUPERVISORS HOLD OVER.
JndKe Boise Decides Legislature
Did Not Contemplate Vacancies.
DALLAS, Or., Sept. 8. (Special.)
Judge R. P. Boise, sitting at an adjourned
term of Circuit Court for Polk County,
Department No. 2, today rendered a de
cision to the effect that Road Supervisors
elected In June, 1902, are entitled to hold
ofllce until January 1, 1904. The case at
Issue, that of E. C. Kfrkpatrick vs. John
Middleton, Supervisor of road district No.
17, has attracted considerable attention in
Polk County and elsewhere, not becauso
of the amount involved, but because of
legal questions which affected not only
the defendant but also every other Road
Supervisor in Oregon.
Ever since the passage of the road law
by the last Legislature there has been
much contention as to whether the law of
1903 repealed the act of 1901, and legislated
out of office the Road Supervisors holding
under that act The case of Kirkpatrick
against Middleton was brought in order to
test this question in the courts.
A few weeks ago Middleton demanded
of Kirkpatrick the payment of $3 road poll
tax. Kirkpatrick refused to pay the
amount, on the ground that he held
legal claim against Folk County for a
sum equal to or greater than the amount
of the tax. Middleton refused to recognize
or accept Ktrkpatrlck's claim and Imme
diately began an action in the Justice
Court for the tax. A trial was had and
the Justice rendered Judgment against
Kirkpatrick for the amount of the tax
and costs.
The case was then taken to the Circuit
Court for review, tho principal conten
tentlon raised by Kirkpatrick being that
Middleton had no

BIDS ON OFFICERS' QUARTERS.
Little Lo-iverlnir or Prices lor Fort
Stevens Bnildinfi-s.
' ASTORIA. Or., Sept; 9. (Special.) Bids
were opened this morning by Captain
Goodale, constructing quartermaster, U.
S. A., for the construction, plumbing and
electric wiring of one field officers' quar
ters and. one double set of Lieutenants'
quarters at Fort Stevens. Bids on the
same work were asked for and opened
some months ago, but all were 'rejected
by the department because they were
largely In excess of the estimates ana j
were considered entirely too high for the
work. !
Thq lowest bid received today was only j
5239 less than the lowest of the former
bids, so no recommendation was made by j
Captain Goodale in forwarding the bids t
to the department, and It is questionable
if a contract will be awarded this time.
The contractors, however, consider the
new bids much lower, as now a great
portion of the work must be done during
the Winter months. The bids opened to
day were as follows:
C. G. Palrnberg. Astoria Field officers'
quarters, complete, $16,114; Lieutenants
quarters, complete, $22,631. Johnson & An
derson, Oregon City Field officers' quar
ters, complete, $16,31S; Lieutenants quar
ters, complete, $23,907. Ferguson & Hous
ton, Astoria Field officers' quarters, com
plete, $16,619; Lieutenants' quarters, com
plete, $23,345. Palrnberg and Ferguson &
Houston agreed to complete the work in
nine months, but In the Johnson & An
derson bid no time was fixed. Bids on
the electrical wiring were received as fol
lows: M. J. Walsh &. Co.. Portland-Field
officers quarters, $351.S2; Lieutenants'
quarters, $495.S0. The Northwest Electrical
Engineering Company, Portland Both
buildings, $760. The bids have been for
