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

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

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.

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

from the Statesman and says all they
want Is good will from Salem. They

"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

himself at the pace of $18,000 to $20,

"We don't need your superintend

when asked as to the probability of

building branches than to secure the
capital necessary for their construc

"To build the east and west line
that has been talked of to reach Har

the Southern Pacific line and connect
ing with the O. R. & N. near Ontario
would cost approximately $12,000,000

perhaps one-third less, or about $8
