"The results obtained from the

The diluted sprays were applied
thoroughly in February, to trees
that were simply mcrusioa witn

eradicated the pest from sprayed

am able to tell at present, the

Missouri Dry Farming Congress
is to be held in Salt Lake City,
Utah, January 22nd to 2t!th. Tho
proceedings of this congress are
of especial importance to a vast
area ot Uregon and Washington,
aim every commercial ooiiy in
the two states is asked to appoint
at least one delegate. Their
wnoie territory East of tk. f'.-w.
cades should be represented, and
com Governor Chamber lain and
Governor Mead are anxious that
large delegations should be tr-
sent at the convention. The ex
ecutive committee from the Paci
fic Northwest are Hon. W. .1
Kerr of the Orecron Atrrieultural
College and Hon. R. G. McCros
key of Washington. President
Fisher Harris of the organization
requests that delegates he ap
pointed and names sent to him at
once at Salt Lake City.
lion. La. II. Webster, chief of
the Dairy Division of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, United
States Department of Agricul
ture, has notified W. L. Crissey,
Secretary of the Oregon State
Dairy Association, that he will
arrange to have one or more gov
ernment representatives in at
tendance upon the state dairy
meetings of both Oregon and
Washington during the present
year 1908. December 10th and
11th have already been chosen as
the date of the Oregon meeting.
The somewhat disturbed finan
cial situation in the East and
South is causing industrial insti
tutions in the older states to in
vestigate the opportunities for a
more advantageous iioms irv th
great Pacific Northwest, or at
least this would be indicated by
the fact that the Portland Com
mercial Club has had more cor
respondence on this subject with
in the last sixty days than dur
ing the previous twelve months.

and Washington this year ought
to be double that of last. In no
other two states has every char
acter of crop yielded so enor
mously and commanded such a
high price. ' People in the older
communities are disposed to
move, and the Pacific Northwest
should get more than its propor
tion of new citizens, but to ac
complish this all the commercial
bodies must work in harmony
and individuals must participate
through private corresiKindence,
which is the strongest iniluence
nf all.
The people of Eugene and Lane
county are beginning a campaign
in behalf of the University of
Oregon, in which they are meet
ing with the heartiest supiort
'and co-operation from all lxr-
tions of the state. The hm tieul
turalists of Lane county have
just passed a resolution' in which
they urge the people of the state
to study the question impartially,
and then act for her best educa
tional interests in casting their
vote at the June election.
The Fifth republican congres
sional committee of Toledo, O.,
has endorsed the candidacy of
Wm. H. Taft for president. The
Lincoln - Roosevelt Republican
clubs of California have nlso en
dorsed him. The committee fav

Cuttuii to the national republican
convention to vote for Taft and
to use all honorable means to se
cure his nomination.
J. R. Bailey for Commissioner.
J. R. Bailey, of Buxton, has,
at the solicitation of many
friends, concluded to make the
run for the nomination of county
commissioner, to take the place
of C. B. Buchanan, whose tirm
expires the coming spring. Mr.
Bailey is well acquainted with
county affairs, and if nomin.-it.-d
and elected, will undoubtedly
make a good official. He wiil
make his announcement next
week.
A Desperate Chance.
There is a plav at the Seattle
Theatre this week that lots of
people could see with profit. It
is not such a great play as a lit
erary eirort, but it was the best
that could be evolved after the
material the author had furnish
ed by the episode. Most news
paper readers read about the dar
ing escape of the Biddle brothers
from the Pittsburg city jail about
five years ago. It was made
doubly interesting from the fact
that they etrected their escape
through the assistance of the
prison warden's wife, who bo
came infatuated with the elder
of the Biddle brothers. The play
shows the crime for which t hey
were convicted and sentenced to
death, and the sickening senti
mentality of the hysterical fe
males, who bring flowers to the
condemned murderers and weep
over their fancied fate. The en-
episode, and the scene where
they are at bay and wounded to
death ia extremely thrilling. Th
author has involved a vein of
comedy furnished by a German
and his sweetheart that is really
good. The acting of the com-
Eany is highly creditable and "A
esperate Chance" is attractive
for several reasons, and teaches
a moral; that is, that our sins are
sure to find us out. and the pen
alty and interest exacted is not
worth the Pleasure tnat we ima
gine we derive from an evil ac
tion. Ihe engagement closes
