THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1890.
AN APOLOGY.
The Gazettk appears this week
in a general thrown-together style
owiBg to the illness of its pro
prietors during the greater part of
the past week. It is hoped that
the subscribers will overlook all
mistakes and lack of news items,
for nothing oould be done only to
take quinine and see the visions of
a large doctor's bill occasionally
appear, while wrestling with
grippe.

Rumor has it that the parties who
intend to build new brick bnildings
between the post office and Roso's
cigar factory next season, may con
clude to. have the upper story fitted up
for an opera house. This would be a
grand improvement. If there is any
thing that Corvallis needs right bad
just, uow it is a comfortable building
for amusement purposes. The present
opera house wouldn't make a decent
livery stable in any other city When
a room is so cold that . the manager
ia compelled to carry a bucket of coals
around among the audience for them to
warm by, and the persons on the stage j
shiver themselves hoarse, then the
reader may know how cool things are
such was the case during the play
last Thursday night.
It is too often the case in small
towns that there is a class of per
sons who busy themselves with other
people's business. These gossipers
keep a careful watchout to observe the
company you keep; if you go into a
saloon, they make a note of it; and if
you ever engage in any business trans
action, they set their heads to acquire
the particulars. The worst phase of
the matter is that they draw on their
imaginations to supply the particulars
that they are not able to obtain. And,
in doing this, they always magnify
your faults and overlook your good
traits. In a place where everybody
knows every body else this evil gets
to be very annoying. We do not fof a
moment hold that vice should be
screened, and it should be exposed,
though in so doing some consideration
should be given for the truth.

THE PLANTER'S WIFE.
A Red Bluff, Cal., paper contains the
following: "Judging from the iuitial play
at the opera bouse last night by the Elles-ford-Brophy
dramatic company we can war
rant our theatre going people a very enjoy
able week of dramatic representation. This
company is composed of persons in their
profession who can make acceptable the
poorest of plays, and as their repertory in
cludes some of the very best of modern
dramas, you can imagine the treat which
is in store for those who attend. The
house last night was comfortably filled; to
night every seat will probably be occupied,
as it should. Mr. Brodhy as Col. Graham,
in "The Planter's Wife," showed the best
dramatic work we haye seen in Red Bluff.
He is a fiuf actor, has fine stage appearance,
a good voice, and is a full entertainment in
himself. His support ia Miss Lottie Beu-
mont, as Cdith, the planter s wite, , was
grand; it would be very hard to improve
upon these two persouations. Hur costumes
are many and elegant. Miss Jessie Norton,
as Annie Gordon, aided by Albert Lando, as
Simeon Siiucee, furnished the spice to the
play, and the two created a grin whenever
thvy appeared in the play. Miss Alta
Sherman and Harry Armstrong completed
the cast of the drama, and carried out their
parts in good shape. The afterpart, "Turn
ing the Tables," was exeeediugly funny,
Mr. Ellesfordaud Miss Norton being th
life of the faree. Sparks of fine comedy
acting Here flashed in the piece, showing
these two artists to be very clever comedi
ans. Mr. Ellesford is exceedingly good in
Irish representations."

TO KILL THE GRAIN WEEVIL.
In view of the present prevalent an
ncyance and pecuniary outlay caused
grain merchants and others by the
above insect, we deem it not out of
place to puhlish what is known of this
pest and the remedies therefor, hoping
that the information may reach every
one interested, and prove of some as
sistance, and with the further hope
that it will elicit discussion and more
information from grain dealers.
NATURAL HISTORY.
The grain weevil belongs to the
sub order or beetles characterized, by
its members being provided with n
beak or snout which is used to
puncture fruit, or grain, or flower buds
(the plant attacked differing with the
kind of weevil), thereby forming a re.
ceptacle for the egg.
The grain weevil is reddish brown
in color and about one eighth of an
inch long. A siugle egg is laid by the
female who punctures a kernel of whe..t
for that purpose.
The larva, or worm, produced from
the egg lives upon the farinaceous part
of the kernel, leaving only the hull.
When full grown it is nearly one line
in length and changes into a puim
within the hull in which it hsis lived,
It remains .in the pupa state about
nine days when the perfect beetle ap
)ears and gnaws its way out of the
kernel.
It devours the inside parts of the
grain, not only in the larval, but also in
the perfect, state.
It is said that a single pair will pro
duce 6,000 in five months. It is also
said that from the time the egg is de
posited until the perfect insect appears
is about forty-five days.
It is claimed that at a temperature
of less than 45 deg. Fahrenheit these
insects are incapable of reproducing,
and in order to escape the cold hide
themselves in the cracks of the floors,
etc., remaining there until warmer
weather.
It is not by examining the surface of
the grain heaps that the presence of the
weevil can be detected, but by examin
ing the grain at a depth of four
or more inches below the sur
face. If some of the grain be put in water
the infected kernels or those which the
larva or perfect insect have eaten out,
will float
It is probable that the weevil lays its
eggs in the grain or ia some of it while
in the field.
' The above is taken largely from the
work of Matthew ' Cooke who spent
some time in studying this insect in
California; so are, also, . the following
remedies which tally so closely with
the result of observations of many
grain men throughout the Willauette
valley, that they are especially valu
able.
REMEDIES.
First Keep granaries clean and
dry within and well ventilated.
Second Whitewash the interior i.S
the spring of each year. , Before white
washing, however, anoint, with a brush
all cracks and crevices in floors and
walla with the following solution
Saturate chloride of iiiiie with all the
coal oil it will take tip, and then with
water until it can be used with
brush.
i una orain in storehouses or
granaries should be piled so is to allow
a free circulation of air around the
rows of sacks (supposing that sacks
were used, and their use seems de
sirable.) ' ' J f
' Fourth It ' is generally conceded
that the grain weevil cannot breed if
the tempeiature in the building or store
house is kept lower than 45 deg. Fah
renheit . . Hence.
. Fifth Thorough ventilation is im
poi tant, as we have reason to believe
that at least part of the wheat is in
fested before it reaches the granary;
and a maintenance of a low tempera
ture will keep eggs from hatching.
Sixth Grain kept in bulk should be
turned over occasionally by "shoveling''
to prevent its becoming heated.
Seventh Stored grain should be
kept free from damp, and kept perfectly
covered to prevent its becoming wet
from rains, eta, and a high temueia-
ture by every possible moans.
Some of the methods to be adopted
by grain men in the valley to secure
the above ends are as follows: When
storing wheat, one bin is . to be left
empty. This will allow' an opportu
nity to occasionally turn over the wheat
in all the other bins,' transferring from
one bia to another.
This aeetns to be an excellent plan.
The tost of-this process, including
services of engineer, fuel, etc, is esti-'
mated to be about one-tenth of a cent
per bushel.
Another idea to be put into execu
tion is to turn a V-shaped tunnel
covered with wire screening part way
through the bin, at the bottom, open
ing, to the exterior on the side of the
granary, and its inner end in the bin
terminating in a wooden flue bored full
ot two inch auger holes which are
covered with fine wire screening, this
flue to run up through the bin or bins,
affording, with the above mentioned
tunnel, a current of cool air through
the wheat. '
The opening of the tunnel on the
side of the granary may need a little
roof to prevent entrance of rain. j
This method of ventilating stored
wheat is already in use in some sec
tions, j
Another remedy, applicable to those I
who can afford it, and who are willing
to mend after the mice, U to atote grain
in sacks, so disposing them in the
storehouse that a free circulation of air
can play about them, and that cats
frequenting the granary can have means
of passing through the spaces interven
ing between sacks or rows f sacks.
The above remedies are so com
paratively simple that it is hardly neces
sary to mention two others, the first
of which has been found useful in
infested oats, and both of which are
sugge-ted as possible remedies in the
case of wheat. Bisulphide of carbon
is the first (and tins, we believe, is
recommended by Ston in his chemistry)
and gum camphor, the second referred
t . The idea is, in both instances, to
secure the spreading of thej pungei.t
vapor through the grain. ;
Miller, an excellent English authori
ty, syi bisulphide of carbon has proved
an effectual remedy, and says it should
be confined wich the grain in a tight
chamber for a short time, until the
vapor has had a chance to spread
through the mass. Hi further claims
it to be so volatile that, on opening, the
wheat is soon free from any traje of the
vapm. We are uot prepared to say whether
this remedy Would be practicable fcr this
section of the country, but hope to hear
what success or non-success others have
had with it or may have with it.
As for gum camphor, we would be loath
to risk a lar air.ount of grain in t'-sting it,
until we had thoroughly proved its efficiency
and harmlesxiiess.
Even supposing these last two remedies
impracticable, with the simpler methods
given bfore, one need uot feel at a tois-as to
how to hngin. Extomolooikt.

Portsmouth, and it was there that f
met Mrs. Stowe. She would talk to
me for hours about life among the

without vanity that had it not bean for

Tile Alaxkau HmiwpI's Doll.
The dusky damsel of Alaska has an
ivory doll. It is carved from walrus
tusk any lenjrth from one to nix inches,
with nose carved, and eyes, eyebrows
and mouth of black enanu-1. Rven the
inch-long baby I1.-13 features carefully
made. She has aLio a doll of wuod. si."
or eight inches long, with its face carveil
and a curious ornament just below tho
corners of the mouth. This is a bluo
bead, and is in imiiation of the fashion
of her trilic, of making in the lower lip
an opening like a button hole, through
which any desired ornament may v
thrust. None of tho Alaska dolls hava
joints, but this unnatural slilfness has
apparently not bee?i altogether satisfac
tory to the small damsels, for some are)
carved in a sitting posture.
The most humble doll is simply a stick
with a head carved on tho end. But the
most elaborate of all Indian dolls I have
seen belongs also to Alaska. It is carved
from dark colored wood, with inoutb
open, showing three white teeth, and it
lias real hair, in locks six inches long,
stuck into holes in the wooden head, with,
the drollest "patchy" effect. Olive

Visions of tho I nture.
Flas any great invention ever been
made that did not have a forecast in the
visions of some humorist? When, fifty
years ago. we read the fun of Sir John
Mandevillo and of his trumpet, that held
his frozen words until he reached Italy,
where they thawed out and blew away
in his exact tones, to his amazement,
who conceived that we were close to the
discovery of a little instrument that
would bottle up language and song, and
free it after the lapse, of days, years or
ages? Our steam travel was foreguessed,
also, in the same way by Newton, and
air navigation has been a jocose dream
since the "Arabian Nights." Our im
agination can probably never reach
farther than our capacity to realize; the
wonder is that it can reach as far.

Emancipation Among tbe Cherokee.
Among other events showing the pro
gress of emancipation, the act of the
national council of Cherokces has been
overlooked. Professor Foster writes to
The Century recalling the fact that this
tribe did, on the 18th day of February,
18C3, pass a decree of emancipation. "Be
it enacted by the national council, Thai
all negro and other 6laves within the
lands of the Cherokee nation be, and
they are hereby, emancipated from
slavery; and any person or persons who
may have been held in slavery are hereby
declared to be free forever. " This act ia
remarkable from the pro-slavery senti
ment which was known to predominate
in the Indian tribes, although never as
strong among the Cherokees as amonjg
tbe Creeks. Globe-Democrat..
