FRIDAY, DEC. 6, 1912.
Another trust has boon busted
by the supreme court, but just
what change may be apparent
in the dissolution remains to be
seen. The merger of theSouthern
Pacific and the Union Pacific
Railroad companies has been
ordered dissolved, on the ground
that it was a restraint to compe
tition, but competition has been
disabled for so long, in most
lines of business, that it is
doubtful whether or not the old
gentleman will ever get upon
his feet again.
Woman suffrage is making its
mark in the Oregon city elec
tions. In Newport, the c ity was
voted dry, and at Independence
a couple of councilmen sank in
defeat because they had the op
position of the lady voters. From
all quarters comes the informa
tion that the new addition to the
voting population disports itself
in a becoming manner.
What is a "Spug?" Why, a
spug is a person who has entered
into an agreement not to pay
more than 15 cents for a Christ
mas present. The Spug Club is
growing and the presents may
reach farther around.
Christinas, the time of year
that is not only death to turkeys,
but brings disaster to father's
pocket-book, is fast approaching.
For Secretary of the Interior.
The election is over; Democ
racy won out, but still there are
places to be filled, and just now
prominent citizens and organi
zations of the West and North
west are boosting for their choice
of men for Secretary of the In
terior and have chosen Hon.
Joseph N. Teal as the one best
fitted to fill that dace.
The following editorial is from
the Oregonian, which says:
"Oregon has a candidate for
Secretary of the Interior, in the
Cabinet of President Wilson, in
the person of Joseph N. Teal.
The Oregonian assumes that
there will be no dissenting voice
in the state against the selection
of a man so well known and so
well qualified for this great posi
tion. It is an office that has to
do with the welfare and prob
lems of the West. .Mr. Teal
knows all about them. He un
derstands and appreciates the
policies and the proper concern
of the Government as to the
forests, the public domain, water
power, reclamation, coal lands
and the like on the one hand;
and he knows, and he would be
in accord with, the attitude and
the interest of the public on- the
other. We think that with Mr.
Teal in the Cabinet, the Admin
istration might readily be
brought to a sane view of con
servation, so that conservation
would not mean stagnation but
intelligent and profitable use.'
"We are to have a Democratic
Administration. Mr. Teal is a
Democrat. He stands for the
West. He belongs to the Pacific
Coast. He should have the sup
port of all citizens and all inter
ests in his candidacy. In this
matter of large concern to Ore
gon and the West, The Ore,goni
mi does not hesitate to commend
Mr. Teal to the favorable con
sideration of the new Administration."
NEW MENACE TO FIR FORESTS
Agricultural College Expert
Discovers Pest Which Stunts
Young Fir Trees.
0. A. C, Corvallis, Ore.,
Nov. 27. The fir tree root louse
is a new pest recently discovered
by the entomology experts of the
Oregon Agricultural College, and
efforts will be made to stamp it
out. The Prociph'Ius Bumeliae,
as it is named, stunts the growth
of young trees.
"This louse spends the winter
in two different stages, eggs
found on the bark of ash trees,
and hibernating lice on the fir
roots," said Prof. II. F. Wilson,
discussing the new pest. "Those
on the fir continue to live on the
roots, while those on the ash bark
hatch from the eggs in spring
and crawl to the leaves, where
they feed, causing the leaves to
curl. In the latter part of May
and June winged forms appear
and migrate from the leaves to
the fir tree roots, where they pro
duce wingless lice which remain
there until late in the fall. These
last then produce a generation
which includes both winged and
wingless varieties. The wingless
remain on the fir through the
winter, while the winged ones
migrate back to the ash tree and
deposit the eggs on the bark
which remain there during the
winter.
"The serious thing about the
pest is that the lice attack the
young fir trees when they are
from 1 to 4 years old, and in
many cases the trees become
stunted from the injuries caused
by the feeding of the lice."
