THE BENEFIT OF CHANGE. ,
We are like house plants. We need
a change of soil now and then to be
replanted. New scenes, new eiperi
ences, nsv surroundings a change of
climate, jry air instead of moisture;
sunshine In place oi cloud. This Is
sometimes essential to health. There
are conditions near at hand that are
better than Europe can offer. Take a
month' or ; two In California. IOant
yourself for m, time where there are
no irritations, where the hotel is be
yond criticism, the landscape pleasing,
and where warm sunny weather In
vites to walks and drives. Pure and
dry air. and the Increased electric In
fluences of sunshine are vastly help

WHERE DID LfcTTER GO?
MISSIVE. MAILED; TO PLEASANT
. ARMSTRONG DID NOT '
; REACH HIM..
BAKER CITY, On. April 18 Tran
scripts of the trial of the murderer of
Minnie Ensminger, Armstrong, have
been placed in the hands of the con
demned roan's sol Hel tors, George Bent
ley and M. M. Goodman, from which
they will prepare a bill of 3 exceptions
to be presented as a part ot the-- labor
requisite in carrying the case to the Su
preme Court. Attorney : Bentley has
made sensational statment&here' to the
effect that a letter was written to Arm
strong the day preceding the' killing,
which was deposited In the Rock Creek
postoflfice and later forwarded to Baker
City, but which never reached the pris
oner,. - f i
He made a diligent search for the
missive, so he declared, and today said
he had been rewarded with the knowl
edge that the missing article was in
the city and he would have it shortly
or take the matter before the postal
authorities.; While the contents of the
letter are said by he counselor to be of
no great importance, he desired It at
the time of the trial to demonstrate to
the jury the esteem In which the mur
dered was held by Miss Ensminger and
to use it In rebuttal of letters Intro
duced by the prosecution.
SWALLOWED HIS FALSE TEETH
On Sunday last a resident of Portland
was the vietim of a very peculiar acci
dent. He was doing justice to a boun
tiful dinner before, him when suddenly
and without warning he swallowed his
false teeth. His artifical molars were
on a small gutta-percha plate about
half an Inch wide and an Inch long.
and It passed down-the road to bis
stomach with, but little difflculty. i He
was left with a sore throat, and at this
time appears. to be no worse for hLs lit
tie adventure. Albany Herald.

"Good roads" Is the all important topic
of the day ami Marion county is going
to set; the pace In Oregon in the matter
of the permanent Improvement of pub
lic highways. . ?
The spirit of; improvement Is mani
festing jtself throughout the entire na
tion, which is in keeping with the pro
gresst and general - prosperity a of the
country. -. ."-r -K
c Dwelling upon the subject of road Im
provement an exchange says:
The national and International good
roods convention, which "will meet In
Stj Louis the last week -of t the present
men th," will's b the most' important
gathering of, the-kind erer seen in any
country. Year by Tear, the movement
has been 'growing' In general interest
and taking various1 practical forms.
Several state have begun, the system
atic const rtictioh of good roads and ap
propriate money regularly for the pttr
p03e,T : Cireumstances - are aiding : the
work. New methods of road locomotion
have appeared. Rural delivery depends
on proper: road faciliti, for thd Gtv
erhment rightly declines to establish It
In. neighboThoo-is- where - the highways
are a combination of - ruts, mud holes
and almost impassable grades. The
difficulties of service In almost all sorts
of weather are great enough at best,
and the postal department will not go
Into a hopeless struggle 'with rough, ne
glected roads.' -- ,
; Good .roads cost considerable when
originally built, but they pay. They
are a sound, economic-investment. Any
one looking over country papers at this
season observes that the drying up of :
the roads la hailed as the opening of '
business. Many localities almost hi
bernate through a Wet winter, and in
all months are subject to delays during
continued rains. Valuaole time Is lost,
teams are exhausted, vehicles racked to
pieces and harness quickly put out of
service' by bad roads. All these Items
represent: a, loss of cash. It is a steady
drain, and -accurate bookkeeping would
prove It to be tnoreeostIy than good
roads, to say nothing of questions of
comfort and social enjoyment. The na
tional and international good roads con
tlon that opens in St. Louis April 27 will
be one of the biggest and most useful
assemblages of the year. t
Appointed Supervisors.
j The Liberty Good . Roads League
held an interesting meeting at, the
Liberty school house last evening. The
meeting was 'Well attended by the en
terprising residents of that nelghbor-
h'ool, tho ladies "forming a large part
of the assemblage. An elaborate pro
gram had been prepared by the pro
gram committee, which was , enjoyed
by all present, and the subject of road
Improvement 1 was thoroughly discuss
ed by the members of the league.
I The committees appointed at the
last, meeting to solicit for the donation
of volunteer .work on the Liberty, and
Jefferson roads ' reported that ; over
$525 in money and work had ' been
pledged -by the wide-awake citizens
residing in the district adjacent- to the
Liberty road, and over $800 by those
residing in the district adjacent to the
Jefferson road. .
In order -that the best results may be
obtained from these liberal donations.
J. H. Daniel was appointed to assume
the management of the improvements
contemplated on the Jefferson - road,
and Daniel Siewert . of those contem
plated on the Liberty road. , The meet
ing was an entire success' In every de
tail and those present displayed much
enthusiasm and Interest In the Import
ant subject which demands the atten
tion of the enterprising citizens of Ma
rion county at the present day.: It is
the intention of the Liberty people to
take the Initiative In making perman
ent road improvements - In Marlon
county, and-all credit is due to these
energetic citizens for taking such an
ctive interest In. this Important move

. ; '.'-(Prohi Sunday's Dalry t
.Considerable uneaslnesa I t being
manifested by hopgrowers-' geheraBy
regarding , the f worm which s Is" begin
ning to make t Inroads oa the hop vines
in the yalley. This is' a "small worm
about one-half Inch long, which eats
into the vine - Jut j below the surface
of - the grouad, and of eourse.- causes
the vine to die. ,lt 1 clslmed that the
vine will sprout lower down and grow,
probably eventually reaching the top
of the pole and possibly bearlng a few
hops, but these will be too late to ma
ture, so that all vines affected, by the
pest Will be lost so far as this year's
crop I" concerned. A Statesman re
porter yesterday . interviewed a num
ber of. hopgrowefs and found a. good
many whose yards were being troubled
by . this little worm, : and also "a good
many who had not jret noticed :Jiy
thlng of the kind, but who are . very
much dissatisfied I trtth "the" showing
their, yards, are making, and. predict a
great shortage of hops this season.
f Many. Missing Hills., t 1
Secretary James Winatanley of the
Oregon Hopgrowers . Association, was
in the city ; yesterday and,- as usual,
spent a very busy day in his office at
tending to the desires of .the members
of the Association, but he found time
to make a few. remarks about the con
dition, of the Jgrowing hops. , .
He. says the vines a re, being worked
oh by that new w4rro to a cOnsideranle
extent. . He bas not yet had timn, to
Investigate the matter,, but from one
-vine. which was brought . in from his
yard, no less than five worms in- a
space. of about six inches on. the vine.
Just .below the surface of ; the. ground,
were found. He wa of the opinion that
it would not kill the vine, but It would
bear no hops this season. . In' his yard.
which is located about two miles north
of this city, the worms are affecting the
north side of his yard more than in
any other part. Mr. Winatanley has
great fears for the outcome of the rav
ages of this pest.' and the result of the
experiments by State Bacteriologist E.
F. Pernot, at Corvallis,. in regard to. the
habits of this worm will be watched
with great interest.
- Speaking of the condition of his
yard, he said: "I never had so many
missing hills In my yard since I have
been growing hops. I have been com
pelled to keep a nursery by burying
hpp roots in a sack so that they would
not sprout, and every missing hill that
la found is reset, so that the yard will
not be. Injured for another yearns crop.
Growth Very Slow. "
George Bayne, who has a hop-yard
In Polk county, about four miles north
of Salem, was on the streets yesterday
discussing hops in general and the
growing-vines in particular. He says
that, so far as he knows, no worms
.have yet appeared In his yard, but that
. nevertheless the outlook Is very dis
couraging for a crop of hops this sea
son, on his old s yard. The vines are
very-small and spindling, and in the
last two weeks haven't grown any to
speak of, and a large number of miss
Ing hills are ' found. He says that
many of. the first vines to sprout were
killed by the late frosts and are very-
backward. In starting again. On his
young yard the condition is exactly the
reverse, the vines being strong and the
growth thrifty, but he says we jnust
have warm weather and that very soon
Or the hop crop of this .season will fall
far short of the average for the state.
He has not yet sold his 1902 crop of
hops and does not even look for buy
ers, as he says he has no hops to sell
while the market is In the hands of the
bears. ? ' '
'' Red Spider May Bother.
Ed Loose, who has a large yard In
Polk county which win bear Its' first
crop this year, reports the young vines
tor be In fair condition with the growth
good, but he also hopes for warm
growing weather soon. The worm has
not yet attacked his vines and he does
not seem to fear It this season, but ex
pressed the opinion that the worst en
emy he had to fear was the red spider.
He aald: ' . ;j
"Three years ago I lost over 100
boxes of hops on account of this pest
and ever since they - have been - in
creasing. Last season they were very
bad, but no hops were lost on account
of the fact that the crop was picked
very .early. They are very hardy In
sects, and the ordinary spray of whale
oil soap and quassi chips hasr -no effect
on them, In fact they seem to thrive
on the spray, and a strong; spray can
not be used because the vines are very
tender and would be burned by it." .
Splendid Outlook For Crop. -John
Walling, of Lincoln, reports the
bops In that section looking well with
good prospects for a large crop of the
usual choice quality hops raised in that
section. f There are very few missing
hills In his yard and the worm la not
bothering them so far, or has not been
detected. . "' '
Worm at Hspewsll.
A report come from the hoocrowers
around Hopewell that the worm ls
bothering them to a considerable ex
tent and they, with the rest of the
growers affected, are hoping for some
remedy to be discovered. : ';'
Gilbert and Patterson Yard.
I- 1 Patterson, Who has been In the
city a few days and has Inspected his
yards' at Eola and Lincoln, reports
them as being in good condition for
this season of the Tear, with a rood
healthy growth, and few missing hills.
The worm has hot as yet attacked
either of his yards.'
