ELECTRICAL STORM AMAZED
LOCAL PEOPLE WEDNKSDAT
The portable sub-station which
serves this district of the S. P. and
Beaverton was struck bv Uchtninc
and badly burned out, neoesitatinf
all nignt work on the part of shop
etwwyeaa.
An electrical atom that caused the
native Oregonian to start In amase
tnent and amused the Easterner to
think that it should be called a storm
at all, swept over the valley Wednes
day afternoon causing slight damage
at various places. A circuit breaker
on the Southern Pacific was burned
out, causing a delay of 20 minutes
on an east bound train. A fuse plug
on an Oreiron Electric train near Gar
den Home was burned out and caused
a slight delay.
The electric ctrrent followed the
wires into the sub-station here and
created some pyrotechnic display that
was highly interesting to an observer.
Archie Bryant was near the sub-station
at the time and witnessed the
blue blazes that ensued. The current
went into an electric engine that waa
on the siding at Carnation near the
sub-station.
The electrical disturbance was fol
lowed later in the afternoon by a
heavy downpour of rain in this city
and locality. Out David's Hill way
and up in the Gales Creek section
there was almost a cloud burst. The
rain came down in torrents for a few

PEAR AND CHERRY SLUG
DOING MUCH DAMAGE
The foliage of Dear and cherry is
suffering from the attack of the slug.
Young trees, particularly, may be
seriously injured by this pest, accord
ing to A. L. Lovett, professor of en
tomology at O. A. C.
"The pear and cherry slug is a
slimy brown creature .about one-
fourth inch long found skeletonizing
the BUrface of the leaves," he said.
"The adult of this slug is a robust
wasp-like creature which lays her
eggs in the tissue of the leaf.
"Lead arsenate powder one pound
to 50 gallons of water applied as a
spray is the standard application for
commercial planting," says Profes
sor Lovett. "Any finely divided dust
will also prove effective in control.
sulphur, air slatted lime, sated wood

A letter from Cyrus H. 'Walker, of
Albany. Oregon, srives some interest
ing information about the old log
church, which stood on the spot
marked by the petrified stump:
"At the pioneers meeting in Port
kind, July 1st, 1 met Mr. James Gib
son, son of William O. Gibson, an
early pioneer, who told me the log
church was built by himself and his
father in 1848 not 1846, as in News
Times picture, the most correct one
I have ever seen. During the winter
of 1840-60 I attended a school taught
by Rev. Cushing Eells in this build
ing I was then eleven years of age,
so remember it most distinctly. In
my 'Memories of Old Oregon' I thns
describe it, in my ms. that sometime
1 expect to have in book form. The
logs were in the rough, not peeled
or hewed. (Mr. Gibson told me they
were taken from Mr. T. G. Naylor's
land.) Pictures I have seen of the
same give the ends of the logs at
corners as cut off even. It was not
so for some logs extended out fur
ther than others. Also the 'shakes'
forming the roof were not luiled on,
but were laid in place by poles
nlaced lengthwise on each course of
clapboards. The voles at the base of
the rooi rested against woooen pins,
then between each successive bole
and the one below it were placed
sticks to keep the poles from rolling
together, in tne west eno was a
husre chimney. No iambs i sides and
back of fireplace split timber daubed
with mortar, and the chimney above
was of smaller sticks laid across each
other with mortar laid between
them the true pioneer chimney. The
hearth was of earth. The floor waB
rough lumber. The seats, rough
benches, no backs. Boards nailed to
the wall and slanting outward were
the writing desks and to place tne
books upon. Four small windows.
double sash, two to a side, and about
8x10 glass, lighted the room. In
the east end was a huge door with
lock of wooden frame, but iron work
inside. No blackboards, and copy
books made from ordinary writing or
foolscap paper, on which tne copy
was written by the teacher. Quill
pens were used.' The building was
about 25x40 feet The logs were 10
to 12 inches thru. The first cut from
each log used was not sawed off as
given in picture, but the log was
dt as cut down by the axe. The
first house log was no doubt the
one built for Grandma Crown: the
second the 'log church:' the third
Rev. Eells' hewed log house that
stood about where the Congrega
tional church now stands. Later a
second log house, built in 1850, stood
about where the I. O. O. F. hall
stood. This was used as a school
houBe also. The first school in the
frame academy building was in the
winter of 1851-62. Mr. J, M. Keeler
taught in the lower north room. I
was a scholar.

COVERING SPRAY NEEDED
TO CHECK CODLING MOTH
"Apple worm moths are busy de
positing eggs now . The cool rainy
weather following the earlier ovipo
sition delayed the main brood until
the present tmef" says A. L. Lovett,
entomologist of the 0. A. C. Experi
ment station.
"Growers who applied the '60-day'
spray previous to the rains should
apply t protecting spray now.
"All indications point to rather
light Infestaton.of worms at this
time. Careful spraying will check
their increase and be of decided value
in preventing a heavy late brood of
worms."
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Allen and sons,
Vernon and Homer, motored to Hood
River Saturday and returned Sunday
with relatives from the apple metrop
olis who went with them to Newport
Monday morning .where they will

CANNERY BUSY PLACE
The Forest Grove News-Times con
tains the following account of ac
tivities at the cannery there; :
The local cannery 1b a mighty busy
place these fine summer days and
manager (J. u. nintnorn is Kept on
the jump ail tne time.
Ihere are US people on the pay
roll at the factory besides tne hun
dreds more that are keut busy on the
farms and ranches picking fruit.
This is cherry and loganberry season
and seven tons of each of these
choice fruits are beine cared for
daily, the great majority of which is
contracted for and sold in advance,
and heavy orders are coming in all
tne time.
The oast week the receipts at the'
cannery have been very heavy and in
order to snow tnetr loyalty to tne.
cannery ana us management me em
ployes voluntarily returned to worn
last Sunday morning and worked un
til 4:80 to save the Iruit that was
then in process of canning, thus
showing that they are willing to do
all they can to further the industry
that is being built up in Forest
(irove. At that time the cannerv
people did the nice thing by serving
ice cream to the employes.
Manaeer M in ton informs us that
there is nothing in the report that
three tons of fruit was spoiled on ac
count of lack of help. There has been
out very little waste on any account.
A quantity of fruit was last week
shipped to Corvallis, where , - the
BrownBviile . Cannery Co. has cold
storage facilities and the fruit was
stored there until It could be handled.
PerhapB the largest single truck
load of ttoyal Anne cherries ever
brought to an Oregon cannery was
delivered at the cannery here when
Joe Cooper brought in three and a
third tons oi the choice iruit and de
livered it at la cents per pound.
What would the Easterner think of
a load of cherries that brought $H(J6
and not a worm in the whole consign
ment? Mr. Cooper was one of the
juckv men wno connected nis cher
ries early and got the price contracted
for. The local cannery has made
cood on all its contracts notwith
standing the fact that the market
went to pieces and prices everywhere
were xnocKea out oecuuse ot tne un
usually large crop. In many places
like Salem and Portland the canneries
refused to take the fruit at any price,
the growers having to sell as low as
2 and 8 cents per pound. The local
cannery has not paid less than six
cents for first-class ttoyal Annes.
ALASKAN FOREST NOTES
Within the last ten years the For
est Service has brought about the
sale of 420,000,000 feet of timber in
the National Forests of Alaska, for
piling, sswlogs. and shingle bolts.
The National Forests of Alaska
contain 100,000,000 cords of timber
suitable for the manufacture of paper,
accoring to estimates made by the
Forest Service. Under careful man
agement these forests can produce
two million coros ot puipwood annu
ally for all time, or enough to man
ufacture one third of the duIp pro
ducts now consumed in the United
States.
The commercial trees of Alaska are
western hemlock, Sitka spruce, Alas
ka cedar, and western red celer.
Cottonwood, birch, Judgepole pine, and
white fir are lso found in small
quantities.
In 1918, 146,583 cords of hemlock
nulbwood and 86. 385 cords of spruce
were consumed in Washington, Ore
gon, and California. .
Work in the qpen is possible at all
times of the year on the Tongass Na
tional Forest, Alaska, but logging op
erations are not profitable in the
short days of winter.

ihe meeting was held In the high
school gymnasium. The attendance
was good and the interest in roads
was plainly in evidence. The one dull
culty presenting itself is to determine
that one road which needs attention
most and to center on that road until
it is completed.
That only eternal vigilance is the
price of road improvement in Wash
ington County was shown by the re
port that came to the meeting that
the planking which was placed on tne
road north uf the Starch lactoryjead
ing toward Cedar Mills last winter
had been removed but that the prom
ised roekiriii of the road had not been
done and that ail road machinery had
been moved to tne actions neighbor
hood and that no further work on the
roud that pormits residents to the
North of beaverton to get here in
winter can be expected this season.
T, J, Harrinn-Lon and others living
in the St. Mary's neighborhood called
attention to the condittion of, the
roads in their locality and the impos
sibility of bringing their trade to
Beaverton with the present facilities
for gettng here. :
