Cotllln Moth Most Destructive Apple Pest Known Two Broods Per Year Are Hatdied Washington Agricul tural College Has Issued a Bulletin of Information of the Subject. Following is a condensed prelimin ary report on the codlln moth In the Yakima valley, as given by Eldred Jenne In Bulletin 69 of the experiment her hammer and tacks to hold down the state building, so far as the In dependence Push club Is concerned. We don't want them. "We only want It known that Inde pendence Is on the map; that It Is the capital of one of the world's greatest hop centers; that It Is situ ated In the 'Blue Ribbon" country of Oregon, where fine stock, agricultur al and lumber products excel. We want more, and better roads and tele phone service so that the surrounding country may have access to a live town. We want more buildings and can furnish people to lease them In advance. We want a larger sawmill and have room for other manufactur ing plants. We want a river boat and the river dredged. As these are ac quired, watch us grow without asking for the state buildings or anything except good will, from Salem." station at Pullman, Wash. In making a careful study of the life history of the moth It was found at least two generations of "broods" occur each season. The first brood of larvae entered during the month of June, then a break occurred from the last of June to about July 20; then be tween July 20 and the last of August the greater part of the second brood of worms entered the apples. From the last of August to the first of Octo ber there was a line of stragglers en tering the apples. These may have been partial third broods and partly late members of the second broo'd de layed by the lower temperature of the falL Now, about spraying. If the moth seasons were the same every year, the problem of spraying at the right time would be a simple one. How ever, the time when the first worms will enter the apples may always be reckoned from the date of blooming of the apple trees, the first worms en tering In three weeks or a little less, after the blossoms fall. Then, if the orchard was sprayed while the calyx cups were open, the second spraying should be about two weeks later in order to catch the first worms. These two sprayings should suffice for the first brood. In the season of 1903 the sprayings were made as follows: The first one was made the middle of May; second, the first of June for first brood; third, July 20: fourth, about August 7, for second brood; and fifth, September 1 for third brood. Orchardlsts must depend on their own observations and judgment for the time to spray for the second brood as the conditions of the weather may much modify the time of the appear ance of the second brood. It Is on Account of this uncertainty that many orchardlsts prefer to spray at regular Intervals throughout the season rather than take the chances of leaving out a spraying at the wrong time. Some spray from every two to four weeks, giving In all from six to 10 sprayings during the year. As Paris Green -Is Insoluble In wa ter and can not be dissolved like su gar or salt, It Is necessary to have a rood agitator In the spraying machine, or the Paris Green will settle to the bottom of the barrel and the trees will be sprayed with practically noth ing but water. Next, after the agitator the most Important thing Is to get as Treat pressure as possible. The ver morel type of nozzle, which gives cone-shaped spray, is most often used with hand Dumps. In the case of vomer scrayine machines the Bor deaux nozzles are more oftener used Paris Green Is practically the only Insecticide used against the codlln moth In the Yakima valley. The amount of Paris Green used to 100 gallons of water is from three-fourth of a pound to one and one-half pounds and the amount of lime from four to 16 pounds. The main purpose of the lime Is to prevent burning of the trees by the free arsenic In the Paris Green However, care should be taken not to use an excessive amount of lime, Jt will Impair the action of the Paris Green. SOME FACTS ABOUT TOXOPAII. the Common Sense Explanation of Prevalence of Pneumonia. Roy H. Miller arrived yesterday from Tonopah to answer to the charges made against him In the Sumpter bank transaction and very promptly furnished all the bonds re quired by the court. Mr. Miller de clined f discuss any of the matters In relation to the case, but when asked about the conditions In Tono- j pah and the Nevada gold fields, said to tne Bauer city jjemocrai: , "As far as the reports of sickness there are concerned, you can say that they are correct, practically speaking. But, so far as I know personally, the telegraph reports have been consid erably exaggerated. I think there have been only 30 deaths In Tonopah and I know that at any one time there were not to exceed nine bodies in the morgue. The disease Is pneu monia pure and simple. You know what the situation Is there. Tono pah has an elevation of 6400 feet this Is the Inclement' season. Cold winds blow across the mountains at night, and there Is dampness In the air from the snow. Men congregate In the saloons and hotels around red hot stoves, become overheated, and then go to sleep in open tents. The water in Tonopah is not good. and the sanitary conditions are poor. This all helps when disease takes hold. Goldfleld Is better situated in this respect, and has better water. 'I consider that the Nevada gold fields are the greatest In the west, The mineral belt Is about 300 miles long from Tonopah to Search Light. have been over every foot of It. It is not all developed as yet and there are not so many producing, mines. I know of one property which, under lease and bond, In less than one year produced a little more than $800,000 to the lessees. Another property un der lease and bond produced over $600,000, and the first shipment of ore contained over $17,000. Eastern Oregon gold fields are all right and there Is an Immense mln eral zone here, but up to the present they have not seemed to push devel opment with the same vigor and unl ty of home backing that they work with In Nevada."

The Independence West Side En terprise says they prefer not to have the state capitol. It takes a "squib" from the Statesman and says all they want Is good will from Salem. They have that The Enterprise quotes, and then comments, as follows: ""The first thing Salem will know It will find that the capitol and everything else has been moved over to Independence by that Independ ence Push club's energy unless the Salem Push club wakes up and gets busy tacking the state buildings down.' Salem Statesman. "Needless alarm. We don't want the big state house for It would spoil too much good hop land. We don't want your governor because he com muted the sentence of the slayer of one of our citizens on the grounds of the murderer's bad shape. We don't want the secretary of state's office, for that official is enriching himself at the pace of $18,000 to $20, 000 a year on fees legal and Illegal, while the constitution limits him to $1600. We don't want the state treasury, for its vaults are empty while the money is out earning pri vate Interest. "We don't need your superintend ent of public Instruction because we have a principal fully as good; nor your attorney general, because his de cisions don't decide. We couldn't use the printing office, as good can be had at onc-thlrd the cost; nor your land "office, because It has no base. We don't want your supreme court, for It brings reveres; nor your library we haven't time to read it. We don't want the lunatic asylum, for Salem needs it w jrse; nor the ren'tentiary, for its enforcement of government without the consent of the governed. We wouldn't ask for the reform school, for It Is admirably situated as a retreat for politicians for whom there Is no other Job. We don't need the blind nor the deaf mute schools, for our eyesight is good and our hearing acute, and we are able to shoot off our mouth.

"I have no doubt the time will come when a rati road into Central Oregon will be prof itable," said General Manager Worth- in gton, of the Harrlman lines, today. when asked as to the probability of branches being constructed Into that territory, "but it Is much easier to plan building branches than to secure the capital necessary for their construc tion. "To build the east and west line that has been talked of to reach Har ney county, crossing the Cascades from the Southern Pacific line and connect ing with the O. R. & N. near Ontario would cost approximately $12,000,000 or If built only into Harney county perhaps one-third less, or about $8 000,000. That Is a large Investment on which the investor would wait for returns until the country Is populat ed and many times the cultivated area of the present time brought Into pro duction. Wonderfully Rich Country. Harney county has 270,000 acres of land that is said to be equal to any thing in the Northwest for fertility, and when brought Into production will yield considerable tonnage for a road, but there Is expensive construction aprons the Cascades and the neces sary period of waiting for develop ment of latent resources that makes It difficult to Interest capital necessary for its construction."

THEY RANGE IN PRICE FROM HEAVY SHIPMENTS TO JAPAN. Portland Vessel Will Take Cargo Worth $300,000 to Japan. More than $300,000 worth of the Aragonla's cargo will be delivered to Japanese merchants. Until recently the greater part of ihe cargoes liken fro mthls port to the Orient went to Hrnc:ng and Shanghai. T!i3 un usu.'l demand for flour in Japan Is the cause of the difference In the fig ures, says the Oregon Dally Journal. The Aragonla cleared this morning, and the total value of her cargo was placed at $308,481. These figures will probably be Increased a trifle, as all her freight has not yet been put aboard. The manifest shows that she for rrintlng Just will carry 47,127 barrels of flour. valued at $188, r,10, while the remain der of the freight Is held to be worth $119,971. Cotton, tobacco, canned goods, crackers and small shipments of general merchandise make up the freight she will take out in addition to the flour. She sails tomorrow. Washington Wool Sells.
