GRANTS PASS. Or, Sept. 23. It Is
reported that the Asiatic ladybu?
beetles that were recently released in
an old orchard south of here have gone
to work with a vim on the San Jose
fcale. Eight of the little insects were
Feen on one tree Daaiy tnrestea wun
scale, and were devouring the pests
unmercifully. It is believed the bugs
will thrive in this climate, as the con
ditions of this part of Oregon are very
similar to that. of. Northern China, the
original home of the ladybug beetles.
Horticultural Commissioner A. H, Car
son, of Grants Paps, says he believes
tUe ordinary ladybug. so well known
in Oregon, is as great, an enemy to
the San Jose scale as the recently im
i trted variety, as he has known them
to almost clear badly Infested orchards

quantity, v
The ; Asiatic ladybugs are small.

in Southern Oregon,, and it is hopea
that from this parent stock there will
come multitudes of ladybugs to w.reak
destruction of the much dreaded San

the bun is the birds, as the climate

LAST, SET, OF , BIDS FOR FILLING
GROUNDS , REJECTED OX AC
t COUNT OF LACK- OF FUNDS
- MUST. WAIT- UNTO. CONGRESS
'MEETS. ' , '
TFrom Thursday's Daily.) . ? - r
. After asking for and receiving two
- " - ' - -
seta of . bids ; for the improvement ox
the new postoffice site in this city, the
United States J Treasury Department
has finally come to the eoneroslon that
there, aro no funds, on han4 availabls
for that purpose and. the result 4a that
the filling of the grounds surrounding
the new building will not be finished
nor begun until .an l appropriation . is
porvided ? for it by .Congress. - which
means not earlier than next summer.
This unexpected reply to the last set of
blds, which were forwarded to the de
partment, two weeks ago by Postmas
ter Hirsch and. rejected, was no little
surprise and disappointment to the
latter, tor he had begun to think that
his hopes were about to be. realized in
havlny the work completed from where
the contractors left off abruptly,; at
least in having the grounds, which, are
now " covered with a rank growth of
dead weeds and-present a most 'Qn-i
sightly appearance, filled . up to - the
proper-grade and sown to grass.
' .The amcunt' appropriated" for thi
building complete byr-r Congress was
$110,000, which waa deemed sufficient
at that time and the contract was. let-
for almost JS0.000. i When the. build
ing and equipment ; were complete ; it
was announced that the fund was- ex
pended, although there- should have
been a surplus of at least $20,000,
enough to finish the grounds, lay the
cement walks and. beautify, the sur
roundings . to the extent, of a fountain
or two. No account is given of the
expenditure of this , money, ana as no
one in connection with the job seems
to know, it is somewhat of a mystery
in the minds of the average citizen.
Some time after the building was
turned over to the custodian a move
ment 'was made toward . having the
grounds completed ..before, winter, and
all hands set to. work, including all the
Oregon delegates to Congress, to bring
the matter about, with the, result thaf
It was' announced, from the Treasury
Department that the work . could be
finished , with . money, on hand. In the
general " .improvement fund, depending
upon Congressto replenish it, and plans
were asked .for. These were, forwarded
and approved and the department
asked for bids upon the Job." The first
set of ' bids ".received and forwarded
were for ' the filling of the grounds and
the laying of a continuous cement walk
around the block, and ' the lowest bid
offered was "112,440. "The Answer to
these i bids was that ' there was : not
that, amount of . money . .-. in tne . fund
available for-the purpose and- another
set of bids were asked for," excluding
the sidewalk; -These were submitted,
the lowest bid being $6,570, and. when
Mr Hirsch was just beginning to pre
pare for the work, he was disappoint
ed to receive the cool Information that
there were no funds. Mr. Hirsch does
not account for this unexpected turn
of affairs nor make any attempt to.
but it does seem there is something
back of the whole thing that is not
vtfible to the naked eye. , .
If the surroundings are a disgrace
to the government in their present
desert-like and dilapidated condition.
what they will be when a ncf crop of
weeds come up in the spring one can
hardly imagine, but Mr. Hirsch, in
commenting; upon the matter, consoled
himself with the atatement that, if the
weeds grew so high as to obstruct his
view of the court house tower. clock
he would have a hole slashed through
them and Day for it out ofvlus own
pocket. " - '
If the members of ; the Photograph
ers Association. are truly fond of the
rustic in art they will certainly look
upon the postoffice grounds as a para

Nothing can be good for everything.

i Here Is Salem evidence to prove it.
G. W. Bennett, of Roseburg; Oregon,
welt known veteran member of Second
Iowa Regiment; Co. I, Infantry, says:
"If. kidney complaint affects everyone
as It did me there is little- wonder that
the sufferer. Is constantly complaining
and continually on ; the- lookout -for
something to. bring relief. 1 was ton
noyed more or less with kidney trouble
ever since I. left the army in 1865. ;
suffered everything from steady, dull,
aching, to excruciating twinges across
the small of my back. I had to move
around very carefully, trying, to evade
pain .tor a false step ; or awkward
movement brought punishment. The
secretion from the kidneys were in a
terrible condition, dark in color, smell
ed very strong and after standing a
abort time, possessed- a heavy brick
dust sediment. 1 waa for eight months
under treatment for. my kidneys, but
nothing wave me any permanent relief
until I commenced using Doan'a Kid
ney Pills. The first box so greatly ben
efitted me tbat I followed up the treat
ment by using three bqxea : They prac
tically cured me. I am eighty-eight
years old . and "can hardly expect to be
cored, completely; but - when a. remedy
will bring such relief to a person of my

UNCERTAIN ' TONE TO SITUATION
CAUSED BY DAMAGE TO CROPS
IN NORTHWEST AND FEARS OF
EUROPEAN 'COMPLICATIONS
PROSPECT IS BRIGHTEN KG. "
The f ollowingT is the weekly flnan
cial review laaued by? the nanauag
house of Henry Clews & , Co.,' of .New
York City, for the present week;
The events of the week have not
bm of a., particularly encouraging
character. -"Damage to crops In the
Northwest, and fears that the Balkan
crisis might, cause disturbing compll
cations in Europe started a fresh sell
ing movement, checking- a revival of
confidence (and precipitating- a partial
return of recent liquidation. A portion
of the selling waa attributed to the
closing out' of accounts which were
tfdedver the- last heavy break; while
the bear attacks were further stimu
lated by unfavorable developments
connected with -some of th larger in
dustrials, also the lower price for
irons whlcir those pessimistically in
clined profess to believe are Indicative
of business - reaction.- These are the
only new. developments In an- other
wise sound situation, and . to . them
alone Is due the irregularities of the
week 'Just endfed. "
Reports ocT crop damage seem to
have' been exaggerated as usual. In
juries, however, were chiefly local, and
another week of freedom from general
frost will put, corn and ' cotton out of
danger. Very likely some reports of
damage may be- forthcoming, but the
great bulk of. the crops , are already
safe, and each day materially lessens
the possibility of injury. Although
the crops, are late, it must be remem
bered that the last few weeks have
been almost idal crop .weather, un
usually so for September, and rail
road managers as a rule are confident
that the crops are now safe - from- any
important -danger. Having- repeatedly
dwelt upon the importantbe nefiefiti
of a satisfactory harvest to thecountry
at large as well as to Wall Street, it is
nnnecesaary to further- enlarge upon
this issue. : Suffice to say that agrlcul
tare, is still the backbone of . the coun
try, and prosperity to the- farmers of
the .West and the South combined will
accomplish - more . towards maintaining
our national.- prosperity for another
year than any-other single influence
t would be more -good" fortune than
ould be reasonably -expected to hav
4s encouraging- ne ports from the Indus
trial' world as we have from agricul
tural Interests. 'Indications- or reac
tion In industry are multiplying. They
are not numerous,' nor are they at all
serious. : -As a rule they are generally
nothing-more than a return from ex
cossive activity and excessive prices
to more normal conditions. In the
Iron' trader for instance, there Is ;no
serious cessation of activity, and ' the
decline' In' pig iron only diminishes an
already larga margin of 'profit. 'The
Iron trade is still in a very prosperous
condition . comparted with ordinary
times, and It is only when the boom
period is used as a standard that
present conditions compare unsatisfac
torily. As a matter of fact, . the iron
trade is in a safer condition, today
than twelve months ago; and. as aoon
as finished products show a decline
corresponding to the drpp in raw ma
terials, more settled "conditions will
appaar and oredrs now held back will
bva forthcoming. . Nevertheless, the
turn from the most remarkable boom
the world ever witnessed has arrived,
and readjustment in. values is -Imperative.
' In the opinion oC some that rer
-.adjustment has gon- far enough, while
others differ, and the situation is com
plicated by . the financial, operations
connected with, the enormous mass of
securities nawly .created in the iron
trade. , . .
'No change can be detected In the
monetary situation.. Crop demnds are
beginning , to assert themselves and
bank reserves to decline In conse
quence.; Loans continue at high level
la spite of stock market liquidations,
but this appears to cause no concern
among bankers because of the strength
and character of their principal bor
rowers. The fall is usually & nsriod
of
stringency in the money market.
and the last two years have-witnessed
rates as hlg-h as 10 to 20 per cent In
the first half of 'September; but- this
season tnere have been no flurries of
conswquence so far. though temporary
higher rates would cause no surprise.
No 1 extreme : stringency, however,
seems to be anticipated In spite of un
satisfactory . features,. for the reason
that speculative demands are small
and; will not be encouraged, and J the
knowledge ; that the Treasury will lib
erate $40,000,000 of cash If necessary
effectually wards, off unncessary con

the chetf reason being- that these have
