OLYMPtA. July' 21. Petition for
a rehearing In the grain rate dif
ferential case to the end that the
parity in grain and class rates may
be restored between south of Snake
river territory and Puget sound
cities and Portland was entered to

A petition to this effect, bearing
the names. of. 1,000 farmers In. the
8nake river territory, was filed with
the Interstate commerce commission
a few days ago. -
Among the. -reasons advanced by
the department Is the Increasing
dissatisfaction, of producers In the
locality affected ; that "two" years
experience' with 'the ' differential
rate has demonstrated ' failure to
produce the results anticipated; that
railroads are not In completion;
that the parity existed tor all other
parts of the Inland empire and that
there are no comparative markots;
that other rate . adjustments "will
be required north of the Snake
rlvor; that Puget sound buyers havo
withdrawn agencies Bouth of the
Snake river; that Portland Is hand
ling more grain than all Pugot
sound cities; and that whpn Port-
land storage facilities are "at ca
pacity the territory south of Snake
river Is without a market. '

Ladybugs Have Champion
In Jackson County Agent
MEUFORD, July 21. County
Agent C. C. Catc, who has hereto
fore been a-ruthless enemy of bugs,
worms nnd the like,'- now with his
Voi r tremblins with em,,!l' caly)s
upon all residents of Jackson county
and visitors; too, not utily'to care

son li.em, but to speak to hm kind
ly nt. a softly so as . to n-'jurage
their stay in our midst.
This choinge In Cale's tempera
ment is not due to the fact that he
has gone bughouse but to the end
that the fruit trees and crop of
Jacltson county may be benefited.
Ho plans to plnster the whole coun
ty with hundreds -of thousands of
liidybugs.: . ;,;": ,:' . .' .'
He has just received 800,000 from
E. F, Hedburg, the ranger at the
Ilutton ranger station, who obtained
the bugs while cutting down brush
in the vicinity of the', station. So
many ladybugs would seem- to sat
isfy any one but a glutton, but the
county agent would like as many
hundred" thousand more.
The value of the ladybugs lies In
the fact that these apparently harm
less little flying Insests," who are the
slse of a potato bug -and are yellow
In color, are death to the wooly aphis
and scale, and therefore are Invalu
able to the fruit industry. There
fore, the public Is admonished not to
kllMhem. v
Cale declares .that these 800,
000 bugs, now on hand and being
scattered throughout the county are
worth 'not less than SBOOO to the
'agricultural and' "fruit'- Industries
here. Af er counting the bugs this
morning to. see that no one of them
was missing or tardy he put them
back In a small box In the rear of
his atlto and started out to distrib
ute 50,000 In the eastern section of
(ho oounty. He will keep up this
distribution In. the various sections
as long as the bug supply lasts.
The ladybugs have proved a
gront boon In California, and' re
cently showed up In this part of Ore
go In the Hntton rnngcr station vl
cltyv doubtless having been at
tracted to the Rogue Valley by Its
famed climate and scenery.

when the accident occured, said he
heard the crash but-the piston flew
out with such' force that the eye

when the breaking of a 114 l3ch
pin caused the piston to tear through
the cylinder' head, and out through
the 'building.
', The piston is 46 inches long, 4
Inches In diameter and . weighs

AIR FLIVVER DOES
65 MILES AN HOUR
Experimental '' Glider With Twin
Engines of I'ivo Horsepower
Each Rises 2500 Feet
LONDON, July '21. Last year's
dream of aerlnl flivvers has ' come
true. An experimental gllder fit
ted with twin engines of five horse
power and two tiny propellors has,
In its first test flight, hit up a speed
of 65 miles an. hour and attained a
height of 2,500 .feet. : The flight
was mude from the airdrome at
Lympne, within two hours after the
llttel plane had been unpacked from
a motor lorry, . . ':
It seemed easy to assemble the
many parts and not at all dlffloult,
from a financial standpoint, to keep
It In the air, the gasoline consump
tlon being much less than for a
small automobile. .
The propellors, each a yard In
length, are at the back of the front
plane, where a chain connects them
with the engine, The. pilot sits In
front. The span of the front wings
measures only 33 feet, and the
lo.igth from head to tall Is 12 feet.
There 1 hardly any underoarrlage
the landing wheels being attached
to the body Itself.
This new gllder will be entered
In the various European gliding
contests this summer. These are
sure to produce even greater sen
nations than' those of 4 year ago,
since in the Interim the use ot small
powered engines In" airplanes ' has
made distinct progress.
