The seventeen-year locusts are due
next July, says an authority who has
made a study of the subject. They made
their appearance In 1854 and again in
1871 and the last time in 1H88. The
only damage done by them ia the de
positing of their eggs in the twigs of
large trees and the bodies of small ones.
They are apt to injure trees in the nur
sery or young orchard. They seem to
thrive the best in oak timber, being sel
dom found anywhere else and never in
pine or hemlock forests. Fowls of every
kind are very fond of them. Every
time the locusts make their appearance
the story Is stated that they are terribly
poisonous. They are no more poisonous
than the grasshopper.
Mils Carrie A. Holbrook, secretary of
the Portland Travelers Aid Association,
writes us the following1 lettei with a re
quest that we give it aa much publicity
aa possible: "There will be new in
Portland, from the 1st of June to the
15th of October, the Lewis and Ciark ex
position, and it is the special endeavor
of the Portland Travelers Aid associa
tl n "affiliated with the name of Flxpo
sition T. A. Committee," to Bound a
note of warning to girls and young wo
men throughout the United States
against coming to see the exposition
with the Idea of getting work. We are
daily in receipt of numerous inquiries
from many of the girls from such busi
ness houses as Wanamaker'a in New
York City, and Marshall Field's In Chi
cago, looking to the securing of work
here. Here, in Portland, the supply al
ready exceeds the demand and unless
the knowledge of this tact can be spread
broadcast throughout the Unite.! States,
the result will be far beyond our capa
bilities to handle. Most of the inquiries
received advise us that the writer has
saved enough money to reach Portland,
but must have immediate employment
upon her arrival. Longing to see the
sights of the exposition, reduced railroad
fares and (he added assurance of em
ployment, form an irrieistible attraction
to the working girl in the East, who
wishes for this sort of vacation. In
spite of repeated warnings, the condi
tion at St. Louis last year was simply
appalling, and it is the imperative
thought of the organisation that some
thing In the way of preventive must
be add ed."

James 8. Dixon, a farmer living at
Cedar Mills, was trampled to death by
horses in a stampede back of Willam
ette Heights, at 4 o'clock Wednesday,
while working on the Lafe Pence ditch.
The Oregonian of yesterday says : The
stampede of the workhorses waa caused
by a piece of root weighing about fifteen
pounds, that had been hurled by an
explosion. The noise of the explosion
and the piece of root striking a team
near where Dixon was holding his hor
ses caused a panic among them, and he
was struck to the ground. Both of his
legs were broken and the horse's iron
diod hoofs crushed into his chest and
stomach. He waa taken to the hospital
where he died shortly after. Dixon
leaves, beside his wife, eight children,

assume the fnneral expenses. The
funeral will occur today at Cedar Mills
