THE PESKYj ELY WHY THE ELANKYTY-ELANE: LTT TLL MAirST-lGQED INSECT ' " HAS SO MANY ENEMIES. Assistant Entomologist of Washington State Agricultural College Discusses the Tly and Tells How It May Be Gotten Bid of Easily. (From Satnrday's Daily.) The greatest atad most -generally de spised pest hereabouts nowadays is the little bouse fly. He's ; uncommonly plentiful this summer, and be ' here, there and everywhere at the same time and all the screen doors and windows seem to be powerless in. keeping him out of one's house or place of business. He can do more cussedness on a real warm' day, however, than at any other time and that's why the blankyty-blank little, many-legged insect has so many more enemies at. this time of year. -".The assistant entomologist of the Washington state agricultural college has mat a study of this fly and he has written. the following on the subject, which may . be good information for our readers': J ' I.: ' ."I find the bouse fly r very abundant here. There is no excuse for its preva lence in smfh large numbers! , If the keepers of livery barns and the owners of horses would look after the proper 63 f disposition of . the' refuse , from their 61 1 bams '.there would be very few house 99 .flies to "bother the people. Carlessness is the cause of1; the house fly spreading, "I "want to suggest a. remedy 'for keeping, the .flies down to a. minimum number. It will work if the people wilt eo-operate with each other in the effort; What is needed is to take care of the offal from the stables. It is in this mat ter, that your houaefly breeds. A care ful livery man and other stable keeper should have boTes to place thia. offal in sfter takinsr ,it out of the bams. A little chloride . of lime on an open box will effectually knock out the flies. The little fly that bothers you at meal time is direct from the maggot that comes from the egg that is laid bv the lod fly in the, manure pile. The eeg hatches -In five hours sfter it has been deposited. The maggot lives about five davs in the mnue snd then comes forth as a house fly". This fly carries with it a large amount of filth srom its breeding place. -j "Let us figure a little Dit.aDoui tne multiplication of the house, flv. The j sex is aoout eveniy aiTiueu. jmicb 1 male bays 120 eees. Ihese hatch out in j five hours under proper conditions. One 'half of this first brood are females, or j 60.; These 60 females each lay 120 eggs or tt iuui ui t nr ui o7wv. eration. Take one half of this number, or 3600, as females and multiply again by 120 and y. u have 432,000 flies in the third generation from' one fly. Then go through the same process for the fif teen or twenty generations in a sea- , gon and you can eaSily ' find out how .63! many flies you have had in a season. 140 i In the fourth generation you have 22, 32 ' 032,000 flies. Think of it! .61 j "A little care on the part of the po- 2 ; pie would keep' down , the flies. The 76 first fly in. the spring is 'one. that has 110 hibernated through the winter. If we 14 eould get all the flies that lie dormant 49. in the house stickinghjp in some eor 60 '.ner we might get rid of the fly entire 57 . ly. But that seems to 'be impossible. 5 My advice is for. your health officer to 75 get after the livery keepers, and make 67 . them keep their bams clean. After 119 thev are cleaned put a little eehlorido 56 of lime thrown around will be effective, "95 I "Lrisited one of the barns recently. 65 j I found the flies so" bad that I hesi 23 j tated about poing Into it, I said to the 18": liveryman, Whv don?t Ton take steps 97 j to prevent the flies breeding?

I rucked up a fork and went to a manure pile and; turned some of it over, glf there was one. there were a million maggots in that manure pile. T said: 'Here is the place to eet after them.

Pooler Makes Startling Discovery That' About Half of Healthy Looking Suds and Blossoms on Vines Are .Dead and' Drop Off at Merest Touch. According to the observations of J. a. Pooler, a grower who owns forty five -seres of hops 3Vi miles east of this eitv. another land even more .serious condition has arisen on account of .the lice and 1 honeydew, heretofore unre ported and unsuspected by the growers ana one wmen may oring auoui n en tire ehanee in the 1905 crop situation. This -condition consists mainiy or tne fact that a new blight has put in an which threatens to : reduee the yield of Oregon hops, aeeording to the present" prospective . oasis oi 000 bales or Jess, to at least one-half of that amount. Mr. Foler, who made the7 startling discovery in his yard, only yesteruay afternoon," hastened into the city last night to impart his information , and he appeared very much excited over the prospective result, by which he feels that his former proepeets for tne 19Qo crop .will be very materially and disas trously reduced. ""His discovery con sists of tho feet that, owing to the effect of the honeydew, he thinks, or some other (unknown agency, at least one-half of the blossoms Sad buds upon his vines hive turned yellow in eolor on the stem; and next to the vine and they are practically dead, although ap parently healthy, or they will drop off at the least touch of the finger. Mr. Pooler has already given his yard a thorough spraying and will start in Qpon the second spraying tomorrow, on account of a, recurrence of an abund ance of vermin, but he now questions the policy of the additional expense when such a discouraging condition as he has discovered confronts him. Mr. Pooler, is rated as a very con servative man and is not easily ex cited over any reserve condition" which confronts him, but he thinks be has good cause to be concerned in this in stance. His , mind was started working through a conversation with John Hadley of Polk county, who was deploring his unusual ill luek in he prospective loss of his entire erop of hops this year on account of the ver min and honeydew. Mr. nadley told him that he thought his hops lo6ked pretty good until a few days ago, when he went into bis yard and found that the blossoms were dropping by the thousands. This set, Mr. Pooler to thinking, and he could not rest well in bed on the previous night until he eould make an inspection of his own yard. When he arose on. the following morning he proceeded to his yard and made the investigation which revealed to him the true condition of bis on coming erop and the result was any thing but exhilirating. Mr. Pooler found that fft least one-half of the buds and blossoms on his vines bad become , injured through some agercy unknown to him, but presumably hon eydew, had turned a faint "yellow near to the vine and that they would fall off at the merest touch of the finger. This condition workea as a revcla rtion upon Mr. Pooler and he feels very mueh down-hearted over the prospects. He does not know the exact cause of the trouble, but thinks it if due to the lice tapping tho vines, causing the sap to flow so freely that the buds and blossoms have not a sufficient amount of nutriment to mature, and simply wither and die. This is a new trouble which confronts the growers and may prove disastrous. YOUNG MEN SENTENCED. One Receives Benefit of Parole Law, Other Goes to Reform School.

IN THE CONSTRUCTION ' of i first-class wagon, it is absolutely necessary that , the timber be of good quality and thoroughly seasoned. In these points the Studebaker wagon stands preeminently in advance of all others. Our lumber yards contain more stock, seasoned and in the process of seasoning, tnan can be found in tne combined lumber stock of any five wagon-makers in the world. .All our lumber is -seasoned under sheds from three to five years. The inspection of lumber is extremely rigid, and the pol icy of the company to season all wood work usel for vehicles, by the slow process of" drying in the ojen air, in sures the perfection of this class, of material when made into wagons.

They are from one-, half to three-quarters of an inch Deeper than others use of similar sizes, and consequently have that mneh great i er carrying eapaeity. We also .put on a heavy truss under all axles, injuring that much greater strength. The pa tent truss axle, used exclusively' by us, adds greatly to the value of . the Studebaker wagon over other makes, OUR STEEL SKEINS arc made of .wrought plate steel. It is the only skein with a solid exten sion back of the Collar, which effectu ally prevents the wet and. grease from working in on the axle to cause decay. The extension covers all the tapering portion and envelopes more, of the axle in solid steel than anv other skein made, thereby transferring the Strain from the weakest to the strongest point of the axle. Our skein, is made of heavier steel than any other standard skein, the spindle is uniform and very smoothly finished.
