Grasshoppers Are Doomed.
About three weeks ago grasshoppers
flocked in on the Three and Five-Mile
ranches by the million, and for a time
it appeared as if they would devour
everything that was green, but tbey
soon began to show signs of weakness,
and. eventually began to die by the
wholesale. Mr. Benson, who resides
on Five-Mile began making investiga
tion and learned that the hoppers were
being attacked by a snll blue fly with
white wings that proves a formidable
enemy to the pests. It seems that the
fly lights upon the hoppers deposits
from one to five eggs, then lights upon
another. The eggs soon hatch a small
white worm, a quarter of an inch in
length that eats into the grasshopper's
vitals, when the hoppers begin to get
sluggish and In a day or two dies. Mr.
Benson says millions of hoopers have
thus been destroyed, and as they have
not yet deposited their eggs, he be
lieves these posts are doomed to anni
hilation. f

For some time we have been giving
notice of the probable time a meeting
of the fire department would be held
at The Dalles, but our teams here have
gone to sleep or are resting a long
time after their viotory here.
The city has purchased a good rac
ing art and It will not be sufficient to
claim v that our team is. the best in
Eastern Oregon, unless they win some
prizes away f ronf home. Here' is the
chance, and a picked team should be
sent to Tbe Dalles and enter races.
If they do, we feel assured that they
will come home with prize money,

ON THE 8ANTIAH BIVEB.
Mn. Stephens Describee the Trip From
Albany to Gates.
, GATES, OK, Aug. 19., 1897.
Ed. Time3-Mouitainkkr:
You, no doubt, will think me a negli
gent correspondent, but I have been
moving around visiting in different
places, waiting for a quiet time wben I
could write you, and such an oppor
tunity has presented itself. -
Mr. Stenhena arrived Sunday at
Tangent where I was, and on Monday
we took the train for Albany, and
Tuesday came out on the O. C. & E.
railroad to this place.
Gates is about forty miles northeast
of Albany, on the O. C. & E. road, and
is situated on the north side of the
Santiam river, in Marion couuty, and
one has to so but a few yards to the
fine new bridge and cross to set foot on
Lynn county soil.
This place is the headquarters for
the Lawler Quartzville mines which
are about 20 miles above huro. Since
our arrival, we saw ceveral miners with
their pack horses heavily burdened
starting for the gold fields, where al
ready quantities of the much coveted
metal has been discovered.
This is a timbered country, and the
finest lumbering country perhaps in
the United States. There is a large
steam saw mill at this plafe. and an
other on the road above wlthlu 20 miles
of here. Lumber Is shipped out of
here to numerous points, prominent
among which are Chicago, Denycr,
China, Japan and several car loads to
South America. Building material
is of the .finest quality, and is very
cheap. Now I am going to give you a
description of at least one log which
was 32 feet long, and about 5 feet Id
diameter and contained 6272 feet of
lumber.
Last summer, while corresponding
for the Mountaineer, a party told me
they always-enjoyed reading my com
munications for they knew them to be
correct, so I trust your readers will
noUdoubt any statement I make in this
communication, for the Mountaineer
is a frequent visitor here, and it wouli
be no credit for me to exaggerate.
Since my visit here two year ago, this
place has developed into quite a little
town. There are two good hotels,
three stores, two livery stables, one
photograph gallery,- one-post office,
one blacksmith shop, one church, one
school, two saloon s and numerous other
buildings, and Is quite a little busi
ness point.
The Sactiam riyer affords ample
sport for anglers, as the "speckled,
beauties" are numerous and of fine
flavor. Four men went above here a
few miles and enticed 1,800 from their
wattery homes during- a stay of two
days. Now get those figures correct,
for on them this stbry Is based, for
It Is a true "fish story."
The O. C. & E. R. R. terminates at
Detroit, 18 miles above here, and many
spend the summer there for recreation.
The train employees are very, oblig
ing on this road, and the ride is made
very enjoyable by their courteous man
ners to travelers. We enjoyed the
trip lmmensly looking out upon the
Urge fields of golden grain and the
fineOmber along tbe roue.
We arrived heie Tuesday evening,
and after supper took an evening stroll,
visited tbe large saw mill, walked on
the new bridge, and looked down into
the depths of the Santlanl river, but
our pleasures soon came to a close.
There is an old saying, "There Is al
ways bitter with the sweet," and your
writer tasted the bitter unfortunately.
In descending some steps, I fell on my
right foot in such a manner as to re
ceive a severe sprMned ankle, and
ha"e since been a prisoner In my room.
Fortunately no boDes were broken and
T am at present not suffering much
pain, but fear It will be some time be-
fore I fully recover, but with the aid
1 ..... t, t , ,
of a rosewood -.win, woioo was .
kindly presented me, I hope to be able
to walk in a few days. Mr. Stephens
and I were to go to Newport soon, but
now this accident will change our
plans.
We are the guests of Mrs. Oatra, a
sister of Mr. S. from whom this town
derived its name, and who unti
recently had charjre and owned the
only hotel here. The people are ex
tremely kind, and' since, my accident,
can not do too much for my comfort.
The weather is unusually warm, and
the atmosphere purple with smoke
from foreBt fires, the only cool place
now in the vicinity of Albany is New
port, and we will be greatly disap
poluted If we cannot join the numerous
pleasure seekers there.
We eagerly grasped the Oregonian
today and looked for Oalles items, and
found a chapter of accidents.
The Dalles has a good reputation far
and near, for bing a fine business
place and wide awake city, and we are
asked many questions, and can truth
fully verify the btatements that The
Dalles is the place.

A BROML ASSAULT.
John Harth Defendant in an Asaault and
Battery Cae.
John Harth. a farmer who resides
between Eight and Fifteen Mile creeks,
was today arraigned in Justice Fil
loon's court charged with assault with
a dangerous weapon on Frank Bonner,
a 12-year-old boy whom he has taken
to raise. The boy shows evidence of
having been fearfully Deaten, his back
and shoulders being terribly lacerated,
and Harth acknowledges to having
chastised the boy with a piece of heavy
rope last Saturday morning.
The evidence produced on examina
tion shows the boys to have been un
mercifully beaten, not only on Satur
day but on the Sunday previous.
Harth is a big, burley fellow, with an
ungovernable temper, who says he
makes a practice of whipping his own
children with a blacksnake, and con
siders such chastisement the proper
mode of correcting children. He does
not deny having whipped tbe boy with
a rope, nor does he oner any excuse
for his brutality except that the lad is
ungovernable.
The examination had not concluded
at tbe time of going to press.
Apportionment of School Funds.
Below is given the apportionment of
the state school funds and county
school funds for Wasco county for

home From Alaska.
Mr. and Mrs. LeslieButler arrived
home last Friday from Alaska, having
come down, on the steamer Queen
Tbey are both much improved in
health, and are delighted with their
trip.' They went up on the first trip of
the Elder and were at Dyea and
Skaguay for three days while the Elder
was unloading its cargo and passen
gers. Mr. Butler says of the hundreds
of prospectors who were on the Elder
none seemed to more thoroughly un
derstaiyl tbe situation than Dr. Sidall,
of The Dalles Wben Mr. Butler left
Skaguay the doctor was not decided as
to bis course, whether he would at
tempt to cross to Klondike this tall or
whether he would winter at Skaguay.
Mr. Butler says there are fully 7000
men now en route to the mines, either
at Dyea or Skaguay or on the trail be-.
tween these places and Dawson City
Of this number he does not think one-
third can reach the mines before tbe
pass closes. Tbe appliances for mov
ing supplies are very crude, and there
is more freight piled up at Dyea than
can be carried across the pass In three
years by present methods, hence many
will be compelled to remain on the
coast until spring, because of not be
ing able to take their supplies with
them.

WHEAT SALKS lTP THE ROAD.
The East Oregonian Reports Heavy Sales
Ltst SatarJav.
A representative of the East Ore
gonian toured through part of the
famous wheat belt Sunday on the O. R.
& N. train between Pendleton and
Walla Walla. He found tbe farmers
have been selling their wheat at a
lively rate under the stimulus of good
prices. They have been getting the
benefit of the top price, too, in the
majority of instances. Especially was
this true on Saturday, when dealers
wanted wheat, and crowded their
limits to get it. Competition was
keen, evidently, between the Hamil-ton-Rourke
Warehouse System and
Pacific Coast Elevator Company. The
agents of these big dealers were in the
field to Jbuy, and did buy larg
quantities. As a result a higher priuo
was paid at smaller towns along the
line than in Pendleton and Walla
Walla, on Saturday last. On Friday
and Saturday, it is thought that
farmers throughout the country sold
at least a million bushels.
The heaviest trading was done at
Athena. As previously reported a
pool of 180,000 bushels was sold there
Friday to the elevator company. On
Saturday, late at night, this company
bought, another batch of 92,000
bushels at stifT prices. Eighty cents
was paid for club, as against 7" cents
in Pendleton, and 80 cents f. o. b. at
Walla Walla.
There was lively bidding at Weston
Saturday for a pool of about 20,009
sacks. Agents for the two big com
panies kept tbe telephone busy getting
prices, and competition was spirited.
Late at night, James H. Price, tbe
Hamllton-Rourke buyer, got the wheat
by paying 80i cents for it.
At Adams nothing could be learned
save that considerable wheat changed
hands there Saturday. The highest
price supposed to have been paid was
77J cents.
It Is reported that the highest price
of all was paid Saturday at Helix, be.
ing 82 cents for blue stem. John Mc
Eachern bought about 30,000 bushels
there for the elevator company.

THE HOLMES B08INBSM COLLEGE.
A School
That is Thorough
In Every
Respect.
Probably there Is not another busi
ness college .In the Wefet that Is more
thorough, or that turns- out more
young men and women with a more
complete knowledge of business than
does the Holmes Business College of
Portland. Besides fitting young people
for business avocations, the school
exerts every endeavor' to secure lucra
tive employment for its graduates, and
in this meets with exceptionally good
success, as a recommendation from the
Holmes college rarely fails to secure
situation. . .
Miss Holmes, in . addition to being
assisted by an able corps of teachers,
gives her entire attention to the up
building of the school and caring for
the moral as well as "mental education
of those entrusted to her care.
The school maintains six depart
ments, a three years' course in English
branches, a course in book-keeping,
penmanship, shorthand, typewriting
and telegraphy.
The principal not only gives strict
attention to the business education of
pupils, but also exercises supervision
over the home life and moral culture
of students, and Is also able to provide
safe and comfortable room9 for students
at low cost.
Tbe past few years of business de
pression bas impressed upon all the
demand for thorough business educa
tion, all recognizing the necessity of
a knowledge of intricate theories and
practical application more than ever
before. Tbe Holmes college supplies
this knowledge and may well be termed
one of the pillars of business education
in the North wrsf-.
