Lice Killing; Einulaloii , The San Francisco correspondent of the Portland Journal deseserves a tin medal for bis ignprance. lie telegraphs: 1 " "The aphis, the dread peat which has ravished the hop crops of the coast states in seasons past, will no longr be feared by the grower?. Experiment conducted by the ag ricultural department of the Uni versity of California have resulted in the discovery of a cheap and simple remedy, in the form of a combintion of tobacco decoction and a kerosene emulsion. The so lution is applied as a spray and exterminates the insects before they pass the age where their real destructiveness begins." Jf he had inquired of any dealer or grower he . would have learned that the bitter wood of the South American quassia tree furnishes a decoction when boiled that extir nates Mr. Hop Louse very effect ually. A' small proportion of whale oil soap is added to the quassia liquid o hold it to the leaf. Ladies whose plants are infested with lice or aphis cannot find a better spray. While harmless to the most tender vegetation, it de stroys the aphU and similar pests. The quassia is cut into" thin shav ing tor use and is commercially known as "quassia chips." It has been the standard spraying mate rial lor years. Business Growing. Still more switching is being put in at the Southern Pacifio and I. & M. depot. The present lines of sidetracks are inadequate to accom modate the growing business, and work has commenced on b.uilding one connecting the I. & M. with the S. P. south of the I. AM. ter minus. Another spur will be built from the I. & M. to the flouring mill. These together with the spur running from the mill to the S. P. the new gravel bar spur, the S. P. sidetrack to the warehouses and the main track . of the S. P.. and I. & M. make a net work of seven tracks.; The building of the-pro posed Siletx road : with. he .neces sary side tracks will still add to the complication of switches near the Southern Pacific depot. It is all evidence of a growing business aqd points to the fact that additional depot facilities will soon have to be provided. v Bucxeye Pumps are built with ventilating stand and the best cyl inders which are equipped with patented brass valve seat and pop valve.

Oakman Captured. Jtert Oakman, the slayer of his former chum, Frank Bennett at Hillsboro last week, was arrested at McGowan's cannery, Warren dale, on the Columbia river Satur day mornine. The arrest was made by detective Lou Hartman of Portland, the-authorities at rort land having been notified by Mr. McGowdn, that Hartman was in the employ of the -cannery. Ac cording to Hartman's story, he and Bennett were keeping company with Alta and Vesta Leadford, Hillsboro girls. Bennett would tell the girls' things about Oakman and the girls would relate to Oak man what they had heard. Ben nett secured a photo of Oakman's baby and showed it about town. This caused Oakman to say: "When you are through showing theDicture of my baby, 1 would like to get it.' That led to the row. They concluded to meet and settle the matter. Oakman went into a saloon and was taking a plass of beer. Bennett came in and said; "If you are going with me now come on." Finishing the glass of beer they walked out of th saloon and the fatal ngnt began. Bennett used his fists and Oakman his knife. Bennett was stabbed twice and death resulted. The Star Grocery.
