Over 100,000 moth-destroying parasites huve been let loost from the experiment station at Melrose Highlands tlilB month, us a result of the campaign inaugurated by the national and state arglcultural authorities against the destructive gypsy and brown-tall moths. Four ulstlnet varieties of parasitic flies and beetles have been used In such experiment. The largo colosma beetles, as well s two other species closely allied to them, climb the treeB, seize the cater- plller and never let go until they have devoured the wriggling Insect. The tachlnid flies lay their eggs upon the outer skin of the catterplllars usually close up to the head. The larvae that hatch penetrate the skin of the eater plllifr and feed upon Its Intestines. Another group of parasites deposit eggs Inside the skin of the caterpil lar, and there Is another parasite, a minute midge, that drills Into the eggs of the caterpillar and lays Its 'eggs Inside. The larvae of the para i site feed upon the contents of the caterpillar's eggs until ready to merge. Some of these flies also en ter the nests or winter webs of the brown tail moths and there operate upon the hibernating caterpillars dur I Ing the winter months. I The scientists say there Is every ' reason to believe that In time theso parasites will accomplish the prac tical suppression of the gypsy moth i here as they have In Europe. I The present experiment Is regard ed as the most Important that has i been tried In the war against the 1 gypsy moth. The workers at the experiment sta i tlon. who Include liamed naturalists j from the department of agriculture ; In Washington, assert that there Is no likelihood that the "varasltes them- selves will prove to be undesirable additions to New England Insect life as all the Imported species which are found to be in any way dangerous have been rejected. It Is the theory of the scientists that after the para, sites have reduced the ranks of the gypsy and brown tail moths they will themselves become fewer. In number from lack of food supply. flor iUa Apc t Good I Dry Wood and (lie BEST KIND OF COAL. PROMPT DELIVERY. W. C.

Under the auspices of the St. Patrick's society, the birthday of "Tom" Moore was ob served today at the bust of the Irish poet in the flower garden of Prospect park, Brooklyn. City officials, prom inent citizens and delegations from nearly all the Irish societies of Great er New York took part in the exer cises. It was considered fitting that the celebration should be held by the St. Patrick's Boclety, as on May 28, 1879, the centenary of Moore's birthday, his bust, which was set up by the society, was unveiled. For some years following It was the custom of the society and Its friends to visit the garden, place a wreath on the bust, and hold exercises of some kind. In recent years this has not been done, but at the last annual dinner of the St. Patrick's so cley it was determined to revive the custom on a larger scale than of old. In an interview with Judge Fee of Pendleton, the following was elicited: "In my experience I have found that from 75 to 90 per cent of crime is caused by the saloon. A number of young men are In prison from this county for cattle stealing and various crimes and they first entered the sa loon, next gambled, and then it was bad women. After that the pathway of crime was easy." If you see It In the East Oregontan, It's so. PROHIBITION IX FKiF-NE. .Iter Received In lViullrton Show.- Conditions As They Are. "As to the effect the closing of Ba loons has hud on Eugene. I will say that prohibition, which has been in effect here since July 1, 1906, has re duced the Income of the city of Eu gene as follows: Twelve saloon licenses In 1906 at $800 each, $9600; 12 saloon licenses In 1907 at $S00 each, $9600; total, 119,200. "As against the city recorder's dock et shows 58 arrests for drunkenness from July 1, 1904. to July 1, 1906. 114 arrests for drunkenness from July 1, 1096. to July 1, 1908, "From July 1, 1904, to July 1, 1906, the employes of the logging camps, saw mills and mining camps tribu tary to Eugene, spent an average of $1,000,000 a year in Eugene. The streets were crowded with men with their pockets full of money, who were having a good time, and buying the best grade of clothing, furnishing goods, hats, caps, shoes and supplies of all kinds. Twenty dollar gold pieces were jingling everywhere and travel ers stopping over In Eugene in var iably remarked, 'this is the best town between Portland and Sacramento, and a very orderly place.' "Rents were higher, there' was not a vacant house to be found in the city. New buildings were going up and were leased or rented before they were completed. Since July 1 we have a very different condltIon,.the employes of the logging camps, saw mills, and mining camps, have as a rule, not stopped In Eugene long enough to get a shave, they have ta ken the first train to Portland, Sa lem or Roseburg, and spend the mil lions of dollars that would have been spent In Eugene, had there have been the attractions and amusements that they found here before prohibition went Into effect. "The United States government re cords In Portland shows E6 retail 11 qulr licenses Issued and now in force In Lane county, Oregon, with the lo cal optton prohibition law In effect. Twenty-four of these licenses are in the city of Eugene, while there were only 12 licenses Issued for Eugene prior to July 1, 1906. "The prohibitionists here are try ing to take the credit of the Improv ed condition of EugeneSs streets on account of the paving of 14 blocks with bitulithic pavement, when the facts are that Mayor Wllklns and his high license, anti-prohibition council took up the question of paving, went to Portland and thoroughly Investl gated the different kinds of pavement. and passed the law requiring these streets to be paved with bitulithic, and the work of the new pavement Is simply in accordance with their or ders. Eugene Is a beautiful city there are many women and children and Idle men on the streets every day but the worker from the mills and woods "with the money In their pockets" don't come here any more. The Eugene Commercial club, In a fit of desperation, has employed a 'California Booster' at a salary of $6000 a year in an attempt to attract capital, but many of our level headed business men are of the opinion that all that is needed Is a return of the conditions of two years ago.
