Phases of Industrial Growth in Pacific
BEES POISONED BY
Little Honey Gatherers Killed
in Crusade Against the
Codling Moth.
SUCK DEATH FROM PETALS
Big Problem Faces Farmers of
Walla Walla Valley I.est Busy
Bee and Fruit Pest Be
Killed Together.
WALLA WALLA, Wash.. Feb. 9. (Spe
cial.) Will the codling moth be exterm
inated in this valley at the expense of
the bee industry? Will the orchard pest
and the Uttlo honey-maker die together?
These are nueetiona which are agitating
many in this section of the state. While
inon have been fighting with deadly
poisons the codling moth, the curse of
the orchardist, the same men with the
same poisons, have been killing bees
by millions as they attempt to suck the
nectar from the poisoned blossoms upon
the orchard trees. The problem is be
coming a serious one.
Bees have been kept in most of the or
chards of the. valley for many years,
and with splendid results until the cod
ling moth became so troublesome that
spraying was resorted to generally.
While the spraying was ineffective in
many cases vo far as the pest was con
cerned, the bee Industry suffered from
the start, and it was found "that even
though but little of the poison reached
the petal of the blossom. It proved a
death-dealing agent to the innocent bee
when It sought ne'rtar to carry to Its
hive for Winter. It is icstimated that
from 40.0X to 60.000 bees form a colony,
and In some cases half the number died
before steps were taken to prevent fur
ther poisoning. In fact, it Is almost im
possible to keep bees from an orchard
while It is In bloom, even though the
hives be removed several miles from it.
There are thousands of colonies in the
valley that" have suffered severely al
ready. Feed Bees on Alfalfa.
The trouble has practically brought
about a change In the feeding of bees.
Orchard blossoms have given way to tua
delicate purple petals of the alfalfa
fields, and the places which knew the
bee hives in years agone will know them
no more, perhaps, until a poison is found,
thc.t will kill moths and. spare bees, or
until the moth shall have disappeared
entirely. While in .former years bees
abounded in all the small orchards, now
they have been moved back toward Hud
son Kay. where alfalfa fields cover a
great part of the country and where no
orchard trees have to be sprayed.
The experience of this valley is but
the experience of the Yakima and Wen
utchee Velleys, where spraying has
wrought even greater havoc than It has
here. In Yakima it has been held by
many that bees could be no longer raised
whore trees were grown, and in conse
quence the bee industry has followed
the alfalfa fields back and back, as the
orchard encroached upon the older fields.
Alfalfa is usually the first crop to be
grown on irrigated lands, but after the
"wild" is worked out of the soil, or
chards and small fruits are planted.
Scope of Honey Industry.
It is estimated that 200.000 pounds of
honey is produced in the ' Walla Walla
Valley. Perhaps the average yield of
a colony is about 100 pounds, although
double that amount is frequently taken
from a hive during a season. This will
give as a total 2u00 colonies which are
scattered over a large part of the valley,
but are especially to be found in the
alfalfa district. Figuring the average
colony at 50.000 bees, which is usually
taken as a fair estimate by beekeepers
here, will give a total of 140,000,000 bees,
whose combined efforts go to make up
the sum total of the beekeepers' profits
one year after another. It is seldom that
honey sells on the local market, at
wholesale for less than 12H cents per
pound, making an average yearly profit
of nearly Jll'.oO per colony. In a really
active colony during a good flow of nec
tar in alfalfa, it is said that fully 15
pounds of sweetness is stored away in
one day.
Poison Is the bee's most dangerous
enemy. The yellow juckets. a busy insect
with propensities for larceny and high
way robbery, causes great loss to bee
keepers by robbing hives and killing off
bees by the slow process of starvation.
The pest can bo trapped with proper ap
paratus, . out eternal vigilance is needed
to prevent attacks on weaker colonies.
Moths also cause trouble, but they are
rapidly killed out when once understood.
Modern hives have worked wonders in
the care of bees and in protecting them
from ravages by moth and yellow
" Jacket.
The beekeepers of Washington have or
ganized an association which met at
North Yakima' last month, but the at
tendance from this section was light.
Comparatively few farmers feel disposed
to incur the expense of attendance, as
the industry of honey production Is a
side line with practically all of them.
NEW HOTKL FOU SODAVIL-IjE
Rumored Portland Physician Will
Erect $10,000 Structure.
ALBANY, Or., Feb. 9. (Special.) That
a Portland physician will- erect a $10,000
hotel and sanitarium at Sodaville during
the next three months is a report which
has gained foundation in the little min
eral springs city five miles southeast of
Lebanon. No names have been given
publicity, but It Is said that the improve
ment is an assured fact and that the ho
tel will be open for use during the com
ing Summer season.
The hotel at Sodaville was destroyed
by fire last Summer and the former own
ers do not intend to replace the burned
structure. Because of tne splendid min
eral springs at Sodaville the little town
enjoys considerable Summer resort pat
ronage and a hotel is a profitable ven
ture for a few months of each year, but
is afforded little traffic otherwise. But
because of the medicinal qualities of the
Sodaville water the new sanitarium will
be operated in connection with the hotel,
and the springs will afford an attraction
the year round.
The mineral springs at Sodaville have
been famed for their water for years, and
about 15 years ago the state took charge
of them and the Legislature passed an
appropriation for the erection of a build
ing over the springs and for proper care
and maintenance. More money was
needed than was appropriated, but It was
not forthcoming and the springs have
SP
MIXTURES
never received the attention they de
served. Another drawback to the springs
is that Sodaville enjoys no railroad com
munication and the town must be reached
by stage from Lebanon, five miles away.
VALUABLE STOXES IX GRAVEL
Albany Man Makes Finds on River
Bars.
ALBANY, Or., Feb.- 9. (Special.) That
the gravel bars of the Willamette River
are full of valuable stones is evidenced
by the number found by J. G. Crawford,
of this city, in the past year. People
spend hours, says Mr. Crawford, search
ing on ocean beaches for stones, which
can bo picked up in ordinary gravel bars
where no one ever thinks of searching.
On the Willamette Just above and op
posite this city Is a wide gravel bar. and
on this during the past year Mr. Craw
ford has found the following stones and
minerals: Agates of various colors,
cornelians, various shades of jasper, con-,
glomerate jasper, white jade, feldspar
which resembles the blue ground of South
Africa, indicative of diamonds; chalece
dony, silicas of various colore, black
obsidian, black and red obsidian, moon
stones, opals, rubitated quartz, Thomp
sonite. serpentine, oolitic sandstone,
saturllte, phallus and mltioritis, composed
of iron and sulpur. On this same plain
appearing gravel bar Mr. Crawford has
found in his searches in the past year
a fossil shark's tooth, primitive axes,
pestels and mortars and paleoliths.

With the approach of Spring the unus

manifested all over the Inland Empire
country, and bear Out the predictions
freely made. that the coming Summer will
be a good one. Almost every day comes
reports of construction work, mining
and lumbering being resumed. The de-.

tinue. At the town of Newport the Fi
delity Lumber Company is preparing to
establish a sawmill town on the com
pany plan. This -will employ many men.
Spirit Lake, Idaho, is an example of a
boom town, being a junction of the Idaho
& Washington Northern Railroad, and
the base of operations of the Panhandle
Lumber - Company. A town of 1200 to
1500 has sprung up there this Winter.
Lumbermen report the demand for lum
ber much better. The B. R. Lewis mill,
at Coeur d'Alene. Idaho, will start on
Monday, employing 125 men at first, and
gradually Increasing until a large num
ber will be employed. A long litigation
of several years. Involving the Black
well interests, has been settled, and
Blackwell will build a new town On
Squaw Bay.
In the Coeur d'Alene mining district
the output has been curtailed for some
time, . but every day now brings reports
of mines opening up. The Buffalo Hump
country and the Eastern Oregon country
alsp report renewed activity in mining,
while the country north of Spokane is
busy. The smaller mines in Washington
are working, while the mines of British
Columbia are in full blast. The Granby
mines, at Phoenix, closed on account of
labor troubles, but the men finally ac
cepted a reduction of wages, and both
the Granby mines and the smelter at
Grand Forks are busy, employing many
men.
In railroad work there is also renewed
activity. Reports come from Pasco that
work will begin at once on yards and
trackage there by the Spokane. Portland
& Seattle.

A new era has opened for .the Seven,

of Baker City, both practical mining

to the American Mining Company, of
Henela, Montana. At the time of the
panic last Fall they had planned for
extensive work during the Winter, but
they were unable to secure the money
to carry on the work as planned. Dur
ing the. past two months Mr. Harris
has been in the East securing capital,
and has Interested as his associates a
number of the wealthiest men of Fort
Wayne, Indiana, at the head of which
is Judge J. H. Aiken. The company
organized by Mr. Harris has sufficient
capital to develop the mine and furnish
means of transportation and smelting
facilities. .
Eight miles from Weiser is a com
plete, up-to-date smelter, constructed,
for the purpose of reducing the copper
ores of the Seven Devils district. This
plant was never run a day, the com
pany constructing it having become
bankrupt. Mr. Harris has secured an
option on the plant, and left here Fri
day morning for Denver to close the
deal. The plant has a capacity of 200
tons per day. This will be increased
immediately to 400 tons. It will also
be made a custom mill, and will buy
ores from the miners.
The next plan of Improvement Is the
building of a railroad from some point
on the Pacific & Idaho Northern Rail
way, that runs from this city to within
BO miles of the property. It is the In
tention to construct a narrow-gauge
road. The ores would be delivered on
the Pacific & Idaho' Northern cars, and
by that road carried to the smelter,
which is on the line of the road. The
lack of transportation has been the
chief drawback to the development of
the Seven Devils district.
A force of miners has been working
on the .Peacock all Winter, h.nd has
developed one of the biggest copper
mines in the United States. On the
100-foot level a ledge 90 feet wide has
been opened up. A 60-foot cross-cut
has been run Into th,is mass of ore,
exposing more than 200,000 tons of ore
that will average throughout the entire
ledge more than 15 per cent copper,
and much of It will go 60 per cent.
The Seven Devils has long been re
garded as one of the largest and richest
copper deposits in the West, but lack
of transportation has retarded its de
velopment. There is unlimited water
In the district, and some of the finest
pine timber in the West. The company
also contemplates the construction of
a number of sawmills along the line
of the railway, and will cut and ship
lumber. '
MANUAL TRAINING IN EUGENE
Superintendent of Schools Plans
Improvements to System.
EUGENE! Or.. Feb. 9. (Special.) Since
taking charge of the city schools in Sep
tember, -Superintendent. L. R. Alderman
has been doing all In his power to estab
lish departments of manual training and
household economics, especially in the
first eight grades. For several months
sewing has been taught through the co
operation of the school teachers with
some of the women of the town, and the
first steps toward including manual train
ing are being taken.
Several hundred boys are now work
ing at home building birdhouses and with
in a short time an exhibition of their work
will be made and prizes awarded for the
best birdhouse. Local hardware stores
have offered sets of tools to the most
successful young mechanic and it is safe
to say that it will require a large build
ing to hold the structures at present
under way. It Is hoped that some of the
citizens will become sufficiently, interested
in the work of the boys to assist in the
establishment of a permanent shop until
the district takes it upon itself to see that
the department of manual training has
the requisite support.

TILLAMOOK, Or. Feb,. 9. (Special.)
Another co-operative cheese factory to
make its annual report is that of the
Red Clover Creamery Company, which
makes a good showing and is exceedingly
flattering to the dairymen who take their
milk to. this cheese factory. Following
are some of the interesting figures in the
report: Amount of milk received for the
year, 1,739,048 pounds; amount of butter
fat contained In milk, 68,577.7 pounds;
average test, .03943 per cent; amount of

per 100 pounds of milk.
The price paid the patrons for butter
fat kept at a high price during the whole
year, as the following figures will show:
January, 30.5 cents; February, 28,27 cents;
March, 36 cents; April, 37.55 cents; May,

As the numerous cheese factories of Til
lamook County are. making their annual
returns, the dairymen are now In a po
sition to know the results of their year's
work, who are comparing figures with
previous years, and as a result of thia
a large number of dairymen have made
over J100 per cow for last year, and con

Are You
Sick?
Much sickness is due to
a weak nervous system.
iYours may be. If it is,
you cannot get well until
you restore nerve strength
Your nervous system is
nature's power house; the
organs of your body get
their power from it. If
the power is not there, the
action of the organs is
weak, and disease (sick
ness) follows. Dr. Miles'
Nervine cures ihe sick
because it soothes the
irritated and tired nerves
and gives the system a
chance-, to recuperate.
Try it, and see if you do
not quickly feel its bene
ficial effect. ?
"I was given up to die by a lead
ing doctor. Got one of Dr. Miles
books and found that Dr. Miles' Ner
vine fit my case. From the very first
dose I took I got better. I am better
now than I have fteen for years, and
do all my own work on the farm.
That's what Dr. Miles' Nervine haa
done for me, and I am glad to recom
mend It to others." -
JOHN JAMES. Riverton. Nebr.
Your druggist sells Dr. Miles' Nerv
Ine, and we authorize him to return
