mNin Mn Sugiman Deadly
Knotny to Codlln Mollis.
The following article appeared In
a recent Issue of the Lewlaton Trib
une: In commenting upon the ravages of
the codlln moth aa suggested by
George Peasdee, the well known Clark-
ton fruitgrower, nr. Bruce aavancei
the idea of offering protection to the
wren bird which he mates might be
Induced to exterminate the codlln
moth aa It does the bee moth. Dr.
Bruce. In a communication to the
Tribune, says:
To the Tribune: Like Jenny Wren,
"I have an idea as large as a marble."
It may grow to be "as large as an
orange." I have read with great In
terest the article of George Peaslee. I
am, as you know, only an onlooker,
but I am deeply Interested in apple
culture.
Two years or so ago I visited the
fruit region of Colorado and saw ex
perienced men gradually substituting
arple trees In place of prunes: apples
being the best paying and least per
ishable crop.
The previous year I spent my vaca
tion on a bee farm in Iowa. L pon
the principle that the more you see
the more you know. I Joined the bee
man at his work; the bees accepted
me without a sting, and I saw a few
things worth remembering. One of
these was that the wren was colonized
to eat the bee moth. Small boxes were
nailed to the trees with an opening
onlv large enough to admit the de
fired tenant. In those, little homes
the nests were built 'and the busy
creatures could be seen about the
hives strictly attending to their part
of the business.
The wren is here with us, I watch
them morning and evenings hunting
among the grass on the bonk outside
my window. It is an insect eating
bird and does not at alt disturb the
fruit gardens, as the robins do. Now
I think my idea Is clear to all. The
codlln moth will doubtless tas'e Just
as good to the wren as a bee moth.
Any one who has given the subject a
little attention knows the enormous
number of Insects that are eaten by
a single bird.
The erroneous Idea that has pre
vailed and caused the destruction of
so many protective birds. Is largely-
giving place to a better understanding
of what birds really do for us. The
wren becomes very familiar with
man. Care has to be taken as to the
entrance to the boxes as sparrows
will drive out the wrens if the open
ing Is too large. When I grow up and
go into business I will plant and sow
alsac clover, keep bees and wrens, and
do all things In which my heart de
lights In. In the meantime I hope
this may meet the eye of some one
who will trv the wren cure.
S. E. BRUCE.

BRYAN IS THE CHOICE.
Representative Clmrles A. Tonne
Finds Sentiment Strong.
A Epeclal from New York to the
Oregon Daily Journal says:
Representative Charles A. Towne
passed through the city today return
ing from a trip to South Dakota,
Iowa and Illinois, where he gathered
Impressions of political conditions In
the middle west. He said:
"Among democrats in the west only
one man Is being talked of Bryan.
It is taken for granted that he Is to
be the democratic candidate for pres
ident without any consideration.
There Is absolute harmony among
democrats in the west, the gold dem
ocrats and the former opponents of
that faction being In thorough accord
as to Bryan's candidacy.
"I was struck by the confidence
that the people seemed to have in the
prospect of electing Bryan. Demo
cratic hope is running high through
out the western country and the dem
ocrats will go into the presidential
campaign with great enthusiasm.
Moreover, this spirit of zeal and har
mony ill be manifested in the com
ing congressional campaign and will
do us good. I predict that many a
seat In the house now occupied by a
republican, by virtue of democratic
votes that went astray two and four
years ago, will hold a democrat in the
next congress."
Freewater, July 11. The United
Brethren camp meeting, which is in
progress in the Hudson Bay, country,
will come to a close next Sunday. Five
hundred people were In attendance at
the Sunday meetings. The annual con
ference will take place beginning to

when about 40 ministers will be in
attendance. It Is reported that there
have been a large number of con
verts. New Road.
J. W. Morrow, head of the propos
ed electric road from Dayton to the
Wallula country, was in the city yes
terday looking over the country with
a view to having the road run through
this section from Walla Walla
through the Hudson Bay country, and
back to Tallula. It is understood that
it is more than probable that this will
be done. ,
Harvest Beginning.
It Is reported that there are now
two crews harvesting In this Immedi
ate vicinity. George Lydle has his
crew on the Gene Laberty place and
another crew is at work on the W. T.
Shaw place In the Hudson Bay coun
try. The crop will be good, but not
quite up to the average on account of
the drought. The yield will be far
better than was at first anticipated.

FOR A GOOD STATE FAIR.
STATISTICS OF THE BLIND.
President Ioiiiiig Will Make a Tour
of Eastern Oregon.
W. H. Downing, president of the
state board of agriculture, accompan
ied by Mrs. Downing, left yesterday
afternoon for eastern Oregon In the
Interests of the state fair, says Mon
day's Salem Journal. He will go to
The Dalles, Baker City, Pendleton and
La Grande and will confer with the
authorities of the various counties.
But few. If any, of the eastern Oregon
counties have ever had exhibits at thi
state fair.
For some reason the people of nt-
ern Oregon have failed to grasp the
opportunity of advertising their coun
ties through the state fair as a pub
licity medium. The Oregon state fair
Is not a Marlon county affair, but a
state-wide enterprise.
There Is considerable Interest taken
in the exhibits by the counties of the
western part of Oregon, even on the
part of those who have never partici
pated before. President Downing be
lleves the coming fair will be a sue
cess in spite of the fact that many of
the counties made large approprla
tlons for the Lewis and Clark expo
sition last year and do not feel they
can be represented very extensively
at the state fair.
As to attendance, the fair promises
to be a record-breaker, as many In
quiries are already coming in at the
headquarters.
