A correspondent of the Spokesman- Review, writing from Garfield of the re markable dust storm of last Monday, says: 'The cause and origin of the dnst storms similar to the one which passed over here Monday evening have long been a mystery. The wind will some times blow steadily for days without any considerable amount of dust being raised by- it, while, on other occasions, when the conditions are apparently the same, the air will be full of dust, causing the sun to give but a sickly color, sometimes even giving an appearance to the earth as in times of eclipse. The dust usually flies high, the lower strata of air being about as free from dust as ordinarily. Monday night was an exception, the dust being next to the earth, flying in quantities that made it almost impossi ble to face the wind which forced it along, the whole landscape presenting a ghastly hue until the darkness of night settled down. The extent of these storms is far be yond that commonly supposed. The dust is taken from the great plains of the Columbia, in the vicinity of Walla Walla, and when the storm continues for several hours as it frequently does it is swept northeast across the fields, forests and mines of Washington and Idaho ; crosses the international boun dary and shades the meadows of the Northwest territories ; frightens the in habitants of Manitoba with its similarity in appearance to that of a cyclone ; still pushes on above the trappers of the Nelson and Severn rivers, casts its faint shadow ontbe sailors on Hudson's bay, 1500 miles from its starting point, and still 'continues its course onward to no one knows where. Examine the - trees everywhere along this, line of march. Their bark is gritty full of small particles of sand. Mill men and choppers will tell you ' that their bark dulls tools much more rapidly than in regions outside of this track. The sand of the Columbia dulls the ax of the woodchopper on Hudson's bay I Yesterday their nature was a mystery ; today every telephone operator in the Palouse country can tell you they are electrical storms. -When a thunder storm is passing over a country all the telephone bells are kept ringing just as the sounders of the telegraph are kept clicking. The disturbance is only local, the bells of instruments afar off,' even on the same line, being unaffected. Mon day night the bells in all the offices in the territory reached '. by the storm were kept jingling. Other dust storms have paseed over us without this phenomena, but they were too, high np too high to affect the instruments. A few years ago there was a storm similar to this one, but the telephone lines were but few, and the storm did not strike until a late hour. " . The dust storm ia the Palouse version of a cyclone, its path is wider; its course is many times longer; it blows straight instead of with a rotary motion ; it moves nothing possessing much sta bility ; but? both owe their existence to Fruit Growers Solid Sprays. These Sprays are reduced to a SOLID form, requiring only the addition of water for immediate nee. SPRAY NO. 1. Winter Spray for ' San Jose Scale and Curl'Leaf of tne Peach. Lime, unslacked. Sulphur, powdered... Salt, Liverpool ..30 lbs ..20 lbs ..15 lbs . The above is a vey efficient remedy for the San Jose Scale and Cnrl Leaf of the Peach, and is an excellent fertilizer for the trees. It not only destroys the scale and prevents the spread of the cnrl leaf, bat removes all lichens and keeps the bark soft. In the case of carl leaf, the greatest good will result from the early spraying, as it prevents to a large degree the dor mant spores of this parasitic fungus coming to life, and destroys any that may have started. DIRECTIONS. To be most successful, 'this spray should be applied just before the bads swell in the spring. It can be need at this time stronger than later, and should be thrown upon the trees when it is warm. TJse for winter spraying, 1 pound to 2 gallons of water; for summer work use 1 pound to 8 gallons of water. Maier & Benton, sole agents, The Dalles, Or. MAIER & BENTON.
