talks in the Eugene Guard as if he knew
what he was about, on the wheat pest. as
follows: The new wheat pest has made
its appearance throughout our county
and probably the whole state or coast
(this spring) is known as the grain aphis
or f siphonophora aven.i i it attacks the
wheat first, generally the oats next and
the green grasses later. It has natural
enemies which to contend that may pre
vent its doing great damage to onr grain
crops. Chief among its enemies are little
four winged parasitic flies and a various
species of lady beetles. It is likely that
the insects will do our crops a consider
able damage this year, but their return
next year will probably be met bv an
overw helming force of the enemy. Upon
careful examination I find they work
upon the heads of the wheat principally,
instead of the leaves as is their custom
in older countries. Therefore we may ex
pect greater damage. It brings forth
living young and may become the an
cestor of millions before autumn. There
is no remedy; kerosene emulsions will
destroy them but the difficulty attached
to applying the spray will prevent us
iom working out onr spite in this way.

would not be nearly so great as building
one down the Columbia, and when once
completed the coat of keeping it in repair
would be very light. On the other hand,
the cost ol keeping the road in repair

More than this, a road through this
country would fiave a monopoly of the

Columbia will, as soon as the locks are

n Multnomah county. Un portions of

and saloons, the owners of which derive
a handsome revenue from the propeity,
but not one solitary cent finds its wav to
the coffers of state or county to stand its
share in supporting local or state govern

Seats wero arranged for the audience, and

Tai.kiso Facts. It has been the custom
for the Salem papers annually to swallow
the Marion county fair, sometimes called
the ttate fair, whole. They gulp it down
without a wink. This yoar. though, the
Journal is manly enough to talk n . nnd
cow sense' too. Hear it again: For
th- amount of property invested and the
amount of money it receive, the state fair
is the worst failure of any state institution.
Unless the management can be reforuwd
and new life put into the fair it is doubtful
if any increased patronage can bi -cured
for it in the future. Tne debt upin it is so
great that no one will buy it. Exhibition
are each year growing less. Attendance is
growing smaller. Receipts are less and
les and the deficit will he greater than ever
these uard times, and unless aalem extects
to lose the fair altogether, the management
must get a new move on. new life
and new blood mut be injected. It is
certain Portland and other part", of the
state are willing to see a complete fail
ure and -collapse, which is sure to BOMB un

the Pension Department that on July lsi.tbe

will be rel irned to the Treasury of tbe
United KU'es the enormous sum of nearly
missioncr Iyochren'a incumbency. Instead
of granting every app'ication for a pension
he w- to work to purge the pension list
and to ttop the wholesale and inducrimi
n'e issuance of rx-ntions . How well be
has succeeded is shown not only by his
avoidance of a deficiency of $15,000,000,
which hi predecessor practically predicted,
but by his saving and returning to tbe
Treasury the cnormoot torn of nearly 32.1,
000,000. And he did cot ask for $165,
000,010 from Congress for next year either.
He lia reduced Ihe tirr ate to I40.000,
