Professor Aldrlch of Moscow Here.
Professor J. M. Aldrich, eutoraolo
gist of the experiment station at the
state university at Moscow, Idaho,
spent last Saturday and Sunday visit
ing Hou. E. L. Smith, president of the
state board of horticulture, and in vesti-
gating the methods of the Hood River
fruitgrowers in fighting the codlin
moth.
"The methods of the Hood River
rruugrowers in dealing with the codlin
moth are very effective," said Professor
Aldrich. "They are probably more ef
fective than the work done at any
other place, especially in localities with
the same climate. In our country the
orchards in the liiirher altitudes enlov
a greater immunity from the ravages of
me coo im mom man the communities
that are less favorably elevated. The
principal orchards of Hood River are
at a comparatively low elevatiou, hence
the small percentage of wormy apples
gathered here must be due to the excel
lent methods of spraying employed by
theorchardists.
"In Southern Idaho, near Boise, the
United States department of agricul
ture has had a man experimenting on
the codlin moth for the last three
years. Spraying has been carried on
very effectively by the use of a gasoline
engine, and the experimenter reports
ttiat this year his orchard will have but
one per cent of wormy apples."
Professor Aldrich was driven around
the valley by Mr. Smith. He expressed
himself as much delighted with the
valley, and thinks Hood River one of
the best little fruit communities in the
Northwest. He left Monday morning
by boat for Portland and Willamette
valley points and will visit the Oregon
experiment station at Corvallis, where
he will confer with Professor A. B.
Cordley regarding some entomological
experiments. Professor Aldrich also
occupies the chair of Biology at the
University of Idaho. He will return
to Hood River next week to visit Cloud
Cap Inn and gather some Insect speci
mens. Things Lively at Tacoina.
"Tacoma has practically recovered
from the effects of the boom crash, and
things look very different from the last
time I was there," remarked Hon. E. L.
Smith, after his return, Saturday morn
ing, from a nine days' trip to Tacoma,
Astoria and coast points.
"Building permits amounting to 195,000
were issiiedduriiig the month of July and
things look very hopeful for the young
city. The people of Tacoma are putting
up some magnificent residences, and in
this matter they are forging ahead of
Portland. Tacoina is second to Portland
in wheat shipments, and during the
season of 1901-2 wheat to the amount of
10,000,000 bushels left that city. Tacoina
is the home port for 21 steamers trading
with the Orient, and the city also does a
big business in shipping coal and lum
ber. The city has a most magnificent
park at Point Defiance, where things
have been left, to a great extent, in their
natural state and large flocks of deer and
elk are to be seen grazing along the
wooded walks. As a residence city, Ta
coma is one of the prettiest and most
desirable of Pacific coast towns."
Mr. Smith was accompanied by Mrs.
Smith and daughter Anna. They vis
ited Puyallup, and while there stopped
with E.ra Meeker, one of the oldest set
tlers on Puget Sound. Puyallup is a
great fruit and hop country. Red rasp
berries are being shipped from there by
the carload, while great quantities of
vegetables are raised for shipment to
the Sound cities, Montana and Rocky
mountain points.
Mr. Smith and family visited Shoal
water Bay, at South Bend, and spent a
day at Ilwaco and Astoria. Mrs. Smith
and Anna went on to Goarlmrt Park,
where Dr. Watt and family are for the
health of their daughter, and will re
main there for a week or more.

in shape for building the 20-foot flume
for the electric power house. This
flume will be 2,01)0 feet Ions and will
hnve a 35-foot fall. It will furnish at
least 1,000 horse power, which can easily
be turned into a like amount of electric
power. 1 he power house and genera
tors will be built as soon as possible. A
mill site has not yet been secured, and
it is not known just when the proposed
flouring mill can be put up.
"There are 20,000 feet of aw logs at
the mill now, continued Mr. Tucker
"After sufficient lumber is cut at the
present site the mill will be removed to

it will be operated by electricity. O.W

A Terrier Taat Wat tutpoeed to Be a
' Ratter, Bat Proved a DU
kpnolatmea. "Willi Sweatnam," taid a friend of
that comedian, relatet the New York
Sun, "ha an exceedingly fine-bred fox
terrier. She has great fame at a rat
ter. She had a litter of puppiet, the
father of which wat also of royal pedi
gree and of fame at a ratter as great
as that of their mother, to that when
Willi gave me one of the puppiea, a
beautiful little ehap, all nerve and
blood, I wa proud.
" 'I would hat to be a rat anywhere
in thi neighborhood.'eaid I, 'when thia
pedigreed pup get a few month more
age on him.'
"The pup grew and thrived. He wa
the handsomest dog of hit kind one
ever saw rettlesi, eager and evident
ly impatient to get among a lot of rati
somewhere and chew them up.
"I wat equally eager for him tohave
the opportunity, but there were no
rat at our house, and I couldn't hear
of any among the neighbors, all of
whom were alive with interest in my
pup and anxious to aid him in filling
what all believed was his impatient
yearning for rats. At last, one day one
of tbete neighbor tent me the glad
tidings that he had trapped a rat on
hit premises a great, big, gray fel
lowand told me to fetch out the pup
and let him work off at least a little of
hit pent-up longing by taking a whack
at thi big rat.
"I wa delighted, and yet sorry that
there wa only one rat for my pup to
tackle. The newt quickly spread that
my pup was going to have a chance
at lait to kill a rat, and when I took
him out to meet ray neighbor with the
rat everybody was there to see.
"The rat was in a wire cage along
with the big piece of cheese that had
lured him to his pending ruin. The
neighbor who had trapped him tet the
trap on the ground. The dog dashed at
it, and his eagerness to get inito it just
about tiekled our spectators all but be
yond holding themselves.
" 'He's the stuff!' was the unanimous
and delighted comment on his manifes
tations of impatience to get to work.
'Too bad there ain't a dozen or two
of them big rats for him to get rid of
tome of his enthusiasm on.'
"AH this time the dog was trying to
get iiirto the trap, he wa to eager, and
the rat had crouched down in terror at
sight of him.
" 'He eeee his finish, that rat does,
sure enough,' cried the spectators.
'It'll be just a map and a crunch, and
11 over.
The neighbor who had trapped the
rat wa to excHed that he fumbled and
fumbled at the trap and couldn't get it
open. I took it, opened it, and turned
it up to thake the rat out. The dog
danced about quivering in nervout ex
pectancy. "'Stand back!' said the tpectators.
'Give the little dandy room!'
"They ttood back. I shook the trap.
Out tumbled the rat and the big piece
of cheese.
"The eager pup sprang forward.
There wa a nap and a grab, and the
pup' teeth fattened on to the big
piece of cheese, and a way he went with
it for home a fast as his lege could
carry him. !
"The frightened rat gazed after him
a moment, and then scurried back to
the houte of the neighbor who had
trapped it, and it there yet, I guest.
There wasn't much taid among the
pectatort for awhile, but they looked
at one another, and at latt one said:
" 'Too bad there wasn't a dozen oro
of rat inttead of only jutt one. The
pup might have got morecheeeel
"Then we all went home. And the

It mutt be bornj in mind that the
peerage of England are not, cumula
tively speaking, a wealthy body. A
goodly throng of them are extremely
poor men. All over Great Britain and
Ireland are scattered earls, vitcounU,
baron, who will feel themselvei "tum
moned" to the coronation, who pride
themtelvet on "dating back" either to
William the Conqueror or the still
more ancient Saxon kings, and yet
whose incomes are in tome citct even
less than $5,000 or $6,000 a year. Thia
is the pathetic tide of the grand na
tional demonstration, sayt Woman's
Home Companion. We American think
of it as a gathering of commingled
birth and wealth. Butin reality it will
be nothing of the sort. It will be a
pomp and splendor masking in the
main much ardent and pitiful it niggle.
Heart-burnings innumerable will
traolder unseen during the enactment
of thit demonstration. The tmart set

rarely to come up to town, yet who
own lordly halls in the country, with

be mere comparative handful, and

rank will suffer torments of the molt
pinching economy to achieve what they
carelettly and jauntily carry off.
