have been introduced this Session; three OF them
in the House and one or two in tue Senate Inc
reference of these bills to the Territories Com-
pIttee has been customary heretofore N me House
But il appears that the Public Lands Conmlutee
has served notice informally upon those interested
that all these measures shall hereafter he referrSd
70 IL instead. This claim was made early IN Ine
session ON the Senate side and was acqulesced IN
there. Those who are well posted as 10 the real
needs of Alaska to-day in the line Of additional
legislation from Congress declare that the ex-
tens on OF the homestead tct earthly guarding
all existing rights Of settlement and occupation
Of land both by our citizens and the natives, Is
ali that Is desired az present.
Such extension need not provide for q costly
land survey. These surveys could certainly be
made cl.eapy and lalcklv by properly equipped
nrties sent night out by the Government 10 the
settlements where such land entries were called

The regular meeting of the Salem county
Board OF Frecholders was held in the
Court House, at Salem, on Wednesday
last. The minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved, and bills from the
townships were read and ordered paid.
The Warden's bill for board the past
month amounted to sf16.22 for prisoners,
and SG.67 for Migrants.
Considerable discussion was caused by a
question as to whether or not members Of
the board had the right to charge for the
use of a team used by them while viewing
bridges or meeting on committees. The
matter was laid over for a month to await
the decision OF the solicitor.
The report of tho auditing committee
appointed to audit the account of ex-
County Collector Butcher, was read and
after Stating that the bulls and vouchers
held by him were in all respects correct
stated the following, "Your committee

rector of the Board has received from the

leaving a balance due the county treasury

Drive Away INC Rose Bugs.

The rose bugs have appeared and are
making havoc with tho grapes and with
young ffnit trees. In his lecture at Null
lica Hill, in March, says the LIBERAL Press,
Eli Minch gave a remedy for these pests,
and as all persons have not good memo
ries and some fail to make memorandums
when they have valuable information that
they have need to keep, it may be well to
repeat nov what Mr.. Minch said. He told
his audience that no means of poisoning
rose bugs had been found, but that foliage
could be protected by spraying with a So
luton of sulphatc Of copper, as the bugs
do not like ~snlphate Of copper and will not
eat anything that has it on. The strength
of the solution, according to Mr.. Minch,
should be one pound in twenty-five gallons
of water. Persons making a test Of this
remedy would confer a favor by reporting
to what extent they find it eflectual.
