Millers Report to Bay i mor'can
Grain -
Wasiiisotox, July 13. A report
on the harvest prospects in France
and Europe has been received at
the state department from Com
mercial Agent Griflin, of Lyons,
France. The National Millers'
Association of France, the icport
says, has just issued an estimate
very carefully collected of the
probable whefat harvt st of ! ranee
and Kurope in 1801. Ju order lo
meet the demand of France 'until
the harvest is gathered ir lH'.i'J, it
is necessary to see how much heat
was yielded by the crops in 1KP0
and the quantity imported. The
otlicial liguies ot the yield for Is'.M
given by the minister of agricul
ture, ate 1 li,':!t.S27 hectoliters.
There is a mo-ithly consumption
of 8,0,10,000 hectoliters, requiring
for a verr's eupply lim.OOO.OOO hec
toliters. About 15,000,000 hectol
iters are used for seed, so that the
present average ot wheat in France
per annum is 123,000,000 htcto
liters. This year there must be
added to this amount o.OJO.ooO
hectoliters, which is required for
resowing where the grain has been
frozen or injured, making a total
for the year of l2s,(KI0,000 hecto
liters. The es'imattil yield of
wheat for ISO! will lie S2 770,000
hectolili rs. This is the maximum
estimate ; it will he.'i'J per cent les
tha'i the harvest, of lvio.
Russia, Tuui, Kzvpt. Roumunh
and some of the Danuabian prov
inces will have a fair harvest. In
Hungary it will be below the aver
age this year. ine estimate?
given by the millers, the report
says, are optimistic ; tne desire to
crette the impression that there is
a better supply than really exists
is done with a purpose. They
want to buy grain as cheaply as
possible in "those fortunate coun
tries that have their abundance to
export. In 1 soil, 1,,03.,: acres
were sown with wheat and the
average yield was 10.7 hectoliters
per acre. 1.1,000,000 hectoliters
were used for seed, nuking not
quite eight bushels for fifteen
bushels. In conclu-iioii the report
Bays that not only France, but all
Europe, is looking longingly to Hie
wheat fieids of the I'nited Statex.
Last year many hoped that South
America would help supply the
deficit, especially the Argentine
Republic, but to-day no mention
is made of these countries. All
hope is built upon the United
States harvest. Tlie fact, as re
cently stated, is that tne supply
for laircpe must come lrom
America.

LOOK OUT I'OR THL' HESSIAN i'LY.
The Horticultural Buard Warns F.irinfrs
to Kiep it Out of Oregon-
The California pipers say that
die Hessian fly has made its ap
learance in several parts of that
:-tate, and a great deal of anxiety
is felt by wheat-growers, and in
fact, by all interested in lint most
important produ t. The State
Board of II jrticuliure have tak-n
prompt aciion iti the matter, and
have s-ii. men to all places w here
the dread pest is reported to have
appeared, with instructions to
burn up all patches of grain that
bore traces of the lly's pre-ence.
The fact that this fly has crossed
the Rocky mountains and found
lodgement in the grain fields of a
neighboring state, says a member
of Hie State Board of Horticulture,
should at least put the farmers oi
Oregon upon their guard. It is
supposed to have I ecu brought to
California in grain bhipoed from
the East for planting purposes.
Tlie Hessian fly (Cecidomya des
tructor) is so called because it was
supposed to have been introduced
into America with the forage
brought by the Iletsian soldieia of
the British army during the Revo
lutionary war. It is a two winged
fly, very minute, about a tenth of
aii inc:i in length, and generally
produces two broods in a season.
It deiiosits its eggs in fall or win
ter wheat after the grain has
sprouted and begins to show leaves
and its presence can soon be de
tected by the drooping and wither
ed appearence of the stalks ellected.
'1'he worm operates just beneath a
joint of the stalk. It cuts a slit
half an inch in length and so
weakens the stalk that it fadsover
as if broken down by hand and
H'xm shrivels as if scorched by lire.
The ouly effective remedy yet
found for the destruction of ihe flv
is theburningof the grain all'ected.
Secretary, of the Board cf Horti
culture, tys :
A simple word of warning and
caution is herewith sounded to the
farmers of Oregon. Firsf, In-very
cautious whenever seed grajji is
fecuied ; second, he very ob-crv-ant,
and if the lly should make its
apjiearanee us such m -ans as will
insure its destruction. Th old
adage "that one ounce of preven
tion is wo'th one pound of cure."
is a goo l rule to stand by and one
that if Oregon ha 1 observed some
eight years ago in keeping out
ft nil tree pests, would have t-aved
large sums of nc ney to the state
that must nrw be expanded in
battling them.

PoKTAXo, July 13. The thir
teenth annual session of the
Ancient Ordet of United Workmen
tor the jurisdiction of Oregon,
Washington and British Colum
bia convenes at Victoria, B. C, on
Wednesday morning of this week.
A very large attendance is ex
pected, and a good time is sure to
lie enjoyed by all who go, as the
members of the order in Victoria
have planed a fine programme.
As most of the visitors will have
arrived by Tuesday, a grand re
ception and public meeting will be
held that evening. Addresses of
welcome by the Vict ria ollicials
and resp aises by the visitors, in
tersiicrsed with musical selections,
will make it an agreeable evening.
On Wednesday morning the
business session of the grand
1 ;lge will commence, and on that
evening a banquet will be given
the members and visitors. Thurs
day and Friday w ill be occupied
by the business sessions, and on
Friday evening the final adjourn
ment will probably take place.
Those going from this vicinity will
arrive here on Saturday n'ght or
Sunday morning.
In consequer.ee of arraugciaents
made, tiie fare f i am here to Vic
toiia and return, including rail
road and steamer, will only be
$11.70, and as the amount is small
many will avail themselves of the
opportunity to make such a de
lightful excursion to a foreign
country. The grand lodge pays
! he traveling expenses ot its oth
ers and representatives, and
therefore many ot them will take
their families with them.
SHOT AT CLOSE KANGK.

Jefferson Citv, Mo., July 13.
A double homicide occurred at
foas, leu miles east of this city
vetterday. Just after mass at the
Catholic church at that place,
Francis Bermlemans was aecostcd
by Jose pi i Frank in a quarrelsome
manner. BerroJemans tried to
pacify Frank, and apparently suc
ceeded in doing so, as the two
walked away arm m arm. After
going about sixty feet together,
Frank drew a revolt, it and li red,
tt.e shot taking effect in the leit
bteast of Bermlman. The wound
ed man caught Frank by the
shoulder and begged him not to
shoot again. Frank fired a second
time, and Bermle'iians fell dead
with a bullet in his breast and
brain. Frank pointed the revolver
