Salemites Urged To
Fight Earwig; Pest
Spreading On Goast
A warning to the people of Sa
lem to beware of the earwig i
pestx which contaminates food and
clothing, , depreciates property
value, destroys foliage and plant
life and multiplies in houses in an
alarming manner was sounded
this morning by C. A. Park, prom
inent Salem entomologist.
Tf o wig which, in size and
mov" -s , is somewhat like
cod o has proved a curse in
Se here city and state offi
cia ' f fighting furiously to ex
iv yte it, and now the pest Is
ss have moved Into Portland
a c- bany.
; j . Not Yet Seen Here.
S i far as I know,"-Mr. Park
J? "Salem Is at present free
from the earwig. If Salem people
could but realize what a serious
menace it is, I am sure they would
make every effort to prevent its
appearance."
In Seattle the earwigs have in
creased to such an extent that
they are now ravaging nearly ev
ery portion of the city. In a state
ment made recently, Dr. H. M.
Read, Seattle commissioner of
health pointed out that "it is not
so much the damage they do to
foliage and plant life which, In it
self, is serious, as their presence in
and about houses and their' con
tamination of clothing and, with
out doubt, food. These pests live
in all kinds of iilthy places, ln
drains and down spouts, in vari
ous wet and dirty areas la and
about, buildings especially
houses. From these places they
migrate to all portions of bulldr
ings and carry upon their bodies
and feet the filth in which tney
exist."
i Do Work at Niirht.
In the fall the female earwig
lays from 50 to 90 white eggs ln
the soil. Early in spring the
young hatch and come to the sur
face. At first they are white and
the same shape as the adult, only
smaller. Later they change to an
olive green and finally to a reddish
brown color. The adult Is three
quarters ot an inch long and has
a pair ofj. small forceps on Its tail
end. Earwigs work at night aft4
hide ln dark places during the
day.
In Seattle, it Is said, there are
approximately 20,000 city lots
now infested with .the earwig
Some idea of the seriousness with
which their appearance is greet
ed in those cities in which they
are known is seen in the fact that
owners of property in which they
are found are immediately anxious
to sell.
"Salem peoplo returning from
Portland or Albany should take
care to see that their clothing,
lunch baskets, and so forth, have
no earwigs in them," Mr. Park
said. "The pest .is one well worth
guarding against."

culture and the Oregon public
service commission, were a unit ln
objecting to the proposed five
grades for alfalfa hay, which have

ISLAND INVESTOR
IN SIGNED LETTER
BARES BIG SWINDLE
Capital Journal's Revelations Concerning Mexican
"Paradise" Substantiated and Enlarged Upon by
A. J. Anderson; Selling Stories of Promoters
Termed Bundle of Myths.
A, J. Anderson, the well known Salem builder and con
tractor who recently returned from a winter spent at Tal
mito del Verde, the "island paradise" off the coast of Sina
loa, Mexico, where over $50,000 of Salem money has been
invested, in the following open letter fully confirms the
exposures made by the Capital Journal regarding the frau
dulent character of the transactions The island proves to
be a brush covered sand-bar, wwith a thin layer of soil over
sand or hard-pan, with little good water available. Markets
are not needed because commercial crops are impossible.
The story of the island is a tragedy of colonization failures,
blasted hopes and lost savings.
To the Editor: Noticing an
advertisement ln the Oregonlon
for twenty families to colonize
Palmlto del Verde, an Island off
the coast of Sinaloa, Mexico, in
serted presumably by W. H
O'Brien, the promoter who ln
duced many Salem people to In
vest ln this island, including my
self, I deem it my duty to warn
the public against this Invest
ment, as the Island is no place for
a white man, no commercial crops
are produced, the climate Is Intol
erable in summer, and the pur
chasers might as well charge off
their investments to profit and
loss. Having recently returned
from spending tbe winter there,
having experienced ' Its - climatic
effects, having tried farming and
watched others, I know whereof I
speak. My experience has cost me
some two thousand dollars besides
severe attack ot tropical fever
from which I am convalescing, but
if it will prevent loss to others. It
will not have been spent in vain
Nothing But Sand-bar.
Palmlto. del Verde is nothing
but a sand-bar, covered with
brush, underlaid in many places
by bard-pan. Decaying vegeta
tion has produced a thin loam
When the brush is slashed and
burned, the ashes fertile the soil
so that one crop can be grown
The strength of the soil is then
dissipated, and there is nothing
but sand left. Tbe wells of tbe is.
