Coe left for Portland and the PUget sound Monday. He will be gone a week or more, as be is looking after matters connected with the steamer Wasco. The delay in finishing the hotel has been caused bv scarcity of teams to handle the material, and this was caused by a mild form of epizootic which has attacKea me norses in mis viuiuuy. O. II. Ilhodas left his team hitched to a mower, in thel road a few days ago, when they took fright and ran away. The mower is scattered over half a sec tion of ground, but fortunately the horses were not injured. Last week a fire brole out near Stod- dard's mill, and burned over about two hundred .acres, but did little damage as the ground had been cut over, lhe smoke and heat, however, caused the oggers to quit work for a short time. Mr. John A. Wilson, while working in the Glacier hotel, fell from a sca!161d and broke one of his arms at the wrist, and is now laid ud at home.

Mid dleton and they are now ready to put it nn trial aerainst anv reaper on the market. The California Scale Bug. W. C. Potter writing from Spokane to the Oregonian concerning the scale bug "Seeing in your issue of the 14th an article on California scale bug just reaching Oregon, wish to say I have had much experience in the use of copperas (sulphate of iron) as an agency in the destruction of all manner of lice and enemies to fruit and flower trees in Washington territory, and this spring at Oakland, Cal. at 19(51 Green street I applied it to the roots of an almost ruined white rose bush covered with the scale andgin four weeks it had turned from a'sickly to a bright green and scarce ly a scale bug to trouble it. They would hatch and go to the tender end where the iron taken up in the circulation soon made wreck of their fat comforts. "Take any tarry tree or bush old or young when the sap is flowing rapidly, carefully dig a trench around the tree a distance from the trunk to nicely reach the ends of the fiberous roots, taking care not to injure, then distribute from a teacup full to even five pounds of cop peras well pulverized, and you will sure ly catch your man. Sap sucking insects will let loose of this iron bitters and your tree will smile and your fruit bo much im proved in quality. Dim 't he stingy of the iron. You can get. at least four pounds for 15 cents.- On perpetual growing or bearing shrubs or fruiting trees it could make iut little difference when put on. "The fruiti!!" and blooming trees and shrubs of Oregon and California are dying for the iron food. Remember the o",d horse shoet- and ncythes hung in granpa's notched trees, and the old rusty nails that somehow used to act like magic when driven into the trees? Try an old rusty nail in a vigorous tree even And gee ow soon the the greedy circulation will make the nail disappear by absorption. Cut this out and try t. fo'llow directions ami if you fail of go;d results notify me and 1 will pay lor the copperas bill." Untaxed Lands. Judge Allvn. of Washington territory, recently decided that the United States could not sue for trespass on the lands granted to the Northern Pacihc railroad, for the reason that the grant was a pres ent grant, and the title to the lauds is in the company. This decision may be good law, and may be just; bntifthe title is in the railroad company, why is it it so persistently refuses to pay. any taxes on the lands? . For more than twenty years the alternate sections of a strip of land fifty miles wide have been withheld from settlement south ot the Columbia from Wallula to Portland, and there is no immediate prospect of these lands being thrown open. Both politi cal parties have been derelict in their duties to the people in not long ago declaring this land forfeited. The for feiture of this grant should be made .an issue in our next state election, and a congressman should be elected who will exert all his energies to accomplish this. No man should be sent to congress irom this state unpledged on this proposition, 2nd no member of the next legislature should be elected, who is not pledged to vole for no man for senator who is not certain to use every effort to restore these lands, and open them for settle ment. This is not a question of politics but a matter of vital importance to all. If the power of the Northern Pacific is so great that the government is power less against it, the patents Bhould be Issued to the company and their prop erty thus be made to bear its proportion of taxes. As it is now, this whole sec tion is under the ban of this infernal grant, that prevents the settlement,)! the lands, and at the same time exempts them from taxation. All the time, lands adjoining them are being fenced and improved, roads are built, school houses established, and the value of the rail road lands enhanced at the expanse of the farmers on the even sections. It is the most damnable piece of villainy any government was ever guilty of, and no honeBt man can help but teel disgusted with both pc -'ideal parties in their actions concerning it. Wasco Sun.
