"Wash., Au, Member of the Ma
zaniaa wh ar . encamped ; here : In
"the shadow of: Mount Baker on their
' annual twq weeks outing, have been
"waging a tremendous offensive since
the first of the week against' the
mosquitoes! ij -Z
Mountain climbing and hiking over
the glaciers land the hills are the things
for which they came, but so far they
have been side lights to the great battle
against the (voracious, man-eating mos
,S)uttoea of Mount Baker, beside which
"the largeat iof the New Jersey variety
would be dwarfs.
SET GUAJ10S USED
Z The mosqaitoes are greatly annoying
'the. camper&j The late snows have Just
left the camp grounds and the tall rank
4 grass is conductive to their propagation.
Mosquito netting has only been partially
3 effective.
The Masama camp is ! pitched at the
north end ofj Austin pass, at an altitude
of 4400 feet.) with Mount Shuksan's for
midable bulk visible to the east and the
Baker, to tae southwest, is hidden , by
? an abrupt rijdge just back of the camp.
- There are a number of small lakes
"tin the vicinity of the camp and their
icy waters are proving attractive to the
pouters. i
i The camp Is within half a mile. of the
location of the 1906 camp of the Masa
mas and Is not far from Masama dome,
r named after the club during that same
summer. Ttte camp Is In a beautiful
Z spot, surrounded by rugged, rocky peaks
" but lying la the valley, of a small
glacial stream. The slopes of the-valley
are carpeted with heather and there are
mountain asters and lupine in great pro-
fusion.

EARWIGMUF:
EXTENDS LINES; i
REMEDY IS GIVEN
The plague of. earwigs, which has
been devastating flowerjand yegeta-J
ble gardens In Walnut Park, has
'spread to Irvihgton and Overlook
additions, according ' to j information
received Monday by 'Sanitary In
spector J. W. Jones, In charge of the
city's drive against thejinsect. j
Information received by) The Journal
also indicates that the earwigs are now
In Alberta, traces having been found in
various localities. So far the pests
have not been found In any considerable
numbers elsewhere than in Walnut
park. , . ; j I
Persons who find their gardens being
destroyed by Insects are asked to com
municate at once with the city health
bureau.
FCSBS ARE ASKED
Inspector Jones addressed a report to
Commissioner J. M. Mann Monday, in
which he requested the council to pass
an ordinance' appropriating sufficient
funds to combat tha earwig nuisance. A
portion of his report was as follows:
The most effective remedy found so
far is common kerosene, which, if used
as a spray, will kill all i the pests it
comes In contact with. Furthermore,
the earwig will not return! to this spot
so long aa there remains the least odor
of oil. If all the residents whose places,
are Infested with earwlgsi will comply
with the following rules, I we stand a
good chance of controlling and possibly
exterminating the menace : ) "
1 Locate the haunts frequented by the
earwig in the day time, which are to be
found in such places as meter boxes,
cracks : in trees -under old bark, fence
posts, wainscswting and; cracks In
houses-, at base'of large trees and under
most anything that will afford shelter
from light and wind. Wherever a col
lection of small black specks are notice
able (like mustard seed) j you can be
sure there are scores of earwigs lo
cated nearby.
USE SPRAY FREELT I
2 Pick out these hauntsi mark them,
spray every other one with coal oil. This
will keep insects out of this place and
drive them to their other haunts.
8 Pour scalding water over places not
covered with coal oil every i morning and
afternoon. - (I recommend the hot water
at this time because so far I have not
been able to obtain a solution that is
cheap enough for funeral oho.
4 Use traps such as small flower pot
turned uoside down with little fine
straw or excelsior in bottom, setting on
stick about s to 10 incnes aoove ground
near flowers ; short pieces :of hose with
top end plugged with cord ; sacks tied
around trunk of tree or post about foot
from ground. These traps can be scalded
twice daily and are very effective.

CANADIAN GUEST
RECALLS PIONEER
DAYS OF OREGON
Early days In the Oregon country
with their hazards and trying ex
periences were recalled . by the visit
In Portland of Judge C. O. Ermant
tpger of St. Thomas, 'Ontario, Cana
da, who haa been the guest of his
brother-in-law, MacDonaid Potts, for
a few days.' ' t '
Judge! Srmantinger, who has been
a sealous student of Oregon history
and has also been a valued contrib
utor to the Oregon Historical' society,
is a son- of Edward B. Ermantinger
and a nephew of Frank Ermantinger,
who were in the employ of the Hud
son Bay company as early as 1818.
Edward E. Ermantinger. father of
the Portland visitor, twice made the
trip across the continent during the
10 years of his association with the
early trading post which was then lo
cated at old Fort Vancouver. The trip
at that time took three months, and
he kept an accurate Journal of his
daily experiences, which; has since been
published as a document of great his
torical interest by the Royal Society of
Canada. Judge Ermantinger has pre
served the original manuscript among
a. number of other records of the ex
periences of his father and his uncle,
who were intimately associated with
Dr. John McLoughlin, with whom
Frank Ermantinger went to the pres
ent site of Oregon City, where they
built the first mill. In 1838 Edward
E. Ermantinger went to St. Thomas,
Ont, where he subsequently settled,
married and made his home the re
mainder of his life. Oh his departure
he was succeeded at Fort Vancouver
by James Douglas, whd afterward be
came Sir James Douglas, governor of
Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
About 1840, when Frank : Ermantinger
returned to St Thomas, his brother
presented him with a farmsite, which'
he called Multnomah, - after the West
ern Indian tribe. - j
' During his visit nere Judge Erman
tinger visited Oregon City and was a
guest at the home of Mr a Eva Emery
Dye and of Mrs. Patt, j a pioneer resi
dent of that city. He also visited Van
couver, Wash., and. found there one of
the old buildings, now f remodeled into
an officers club, which was probably
the residence of Dr. McLoughlin in the
