Washington, July 5.— Word was re reiver! in Washington today to the effect that Senator Failbanks w ill not resign his seat in the senate until after tbe election in November. He wants to he sure of the vice presidency before relinquishing the office he now holds.

Torpedo W orks Destroyed. St. Petersburg, July 5.— As a result of the leceipt of news of a fire which took place at the torpedo works at Cronstadt last night, this city was to night filled with tbe wildest rumors, including one to the effect that the Peterhof Palace had been blown up. The damage at Cronstadt was con fined to the torpedo mechanism shops, which were almost wholly destroyed, together with 20 Whitehead totpedoes. Five of the torpedoes had war beads attached and they exploded, which added to tbe flte and the excitement. considerable quantity of coal store,! j A a l f a l f a is t a k in g PEhTA DESTROY ALFALFA G reet Dam age Done In M orrow County by lira*»hopper« Heppner— Grasshoppers bv the mil lion are appearing in some localities in Morrow county. They have settled in great numbers in the Sand Hoi low- country, a farming district about ten miles northeast of Heppner, where they are doing considerable damage. They are doing the moat damage to alfalfa and the hay crop, and in eome places are taking gardens. The first crop of alfalfa, which was immense, has practically all been little paved, but it is feared that very of the second crop can be eaved, owing to the ravages of tbe millions of these insects that have been congregating in tbe alfalfa fields. At Hynd Bros., a b.g rant h in Sand Hollow, they are so thick in the alfalfa that in the evening after the inser ts go to roost on the heads of the alfalfa plants they can be ecooped up by the gallon by taking a coal oil can or bucket and striking through the grass. It is only the work of a short time to fill a gunny sack. Some of them caught in this way are being fed to the hogs. Along Willow creek, where there are many alfalfa fields, the grasshoppers are numerous and doing considerable damage in some places they are attack ing wheat fields but are not doing much damage, owing to the fact that the grain is nearing maturity and is getting hard. However, thsy are stripping the green leaves from the stalks. In the wheat belt they have not appeared in sufficient numbers to cause any alarm and the damage to the wheat crop will be of little consequence. patch from General Kuropatkj? Liao Y'ang: Root. Successful Results of FxperlmenM In Marlon County. Falem— The experiments conducted by Gilbert A P'.tW aot in growing al- - ‘ farms near this falls on one of their city seems to be very satisfactory in its results. The alfalfa was sown three veais ago, on bottom land. For two seasons the crop was very light bat the alfalfa ia now becoming well set and seems to be a good producer. The first cutting thia season yielded ten tons on three acres. The alfalfa ie now a foot tall and there is every pros pect for a yield of from one to two tons per acte for the second cutting, with some fall pasturage left. I be o n ness of the season has not yet had any ap preciable effect upon the crop. Where the alfalfa is glowing there is about 12 feet of soil on top of gravel containing water. Presumably the roots of the alfalfa find their way down to the water or at any rate go deep enough so that the dry weather does not affect them. A number of farmers in this section of the valley are experimenting with alfalfa, and though they have difficulty in getting a start they believe that the ultimate results will be satisfactory and that this fodder plant will become a common product in this section of the state. The fact that it need not be resown every year or two, that it is not affected by drouth, that it can be cut before and after the usual June rains, gives it jte chief value as a farm product in the valley. Lay Dust With Oil. Oregon City— Experiments that have been made on Main street with crude nil for keeping down the dust have met with success, so claim the city offic ials, and it is very likely that the oil will be used in the future by the city j in solving the problem of fighting dust. ¡The first test was a failure for the rea TENT CITY SPRINGS UP. son that the oil was carried on the Prospectors Swarming to Southern Ore shoeB of pedestrians into the stores of the merchants.

Pendleton— The damage to grain from the heavy rain which visited a portion of Umatilla county last week was not as extensive as at first believed. Farm ers living in sections where the lain was heaviest report the grain lodged in many fields, but believe that most of it can be saved. John Crow, an ex tensive wheat raiser on the reservation, probably tbe largest loser, says his loss will reach $5,000, The country around Warren station received a ee- vere drenching.
