A RAILROAD TO WAsco.

The Sherman county farmers are thor
oughly alive on the question of connec-
ton with this city by railroad that
shall serve both as a portage around
the Cello falls and as means of cheap
ening the freight on the immense grain
products of that fine agricultural county.
Already two meetings have been held
for the purpose of agitating the question
of cooperation with the company lately
incorporated in this city, for the exten-
sion of the survey, already begun, from
Biggs to Wasco. The interests of the
farmers of Sherman county, in this mat
ter, are SO closely related to our own
that it will be a proud day for US when
we shall be able to record that railroad
from this city to Wasco is an assured
fact.

THE WIRE WORM.

Mr.. V. G. Brock, county clerk of Sher-
man county, has received letter from
the professor of chronology, F. L. Wash
burne of the state agricultural college at
Corvallis, which contains that gentle
mans description of the worm which
plays such havoc in our young grain
fields. The professor calls it the "wire
worm" which transforms after two
years life as a larva, into the swapping
" beetle (elatendae.) He claims that land
that has lain for two or three years
without a crop will be much infested
with the worm and that the first and
subsequent crops will suffer unless such
crops are planted as are distasteful to
the worm and they are thereby starved
out. He mentions clover as favorite
food for these worms and says that low
moist land is more infested than high
sandy soil. The professors remedy for
their obstruction is a rotation of such
crops as are distasteful to them. Among
these he mentions woad, buckwheat and
white mustard. Woad is of no earthly
account to us any more than tar-weed
den patches with profit, but it's use as an
exterminator is impracticable, and any
kind of mustard, "black, white or grey, -
as a cure for anything is as bad as the
disease itself. OF course the white
mustard plant is different from the weed
known as wild mustard" but if the
wireworm of eastern Oregon is never
killed till we poison him with any kind
of mustard he will live a long time.
Fall plowing is spoken of as another
remedy, but while this is practicable we
have no faith in it as a remedy for wire
worms. At any rate we have never
heard or known ofany marked difference
between fall and spring blowing in re-
spect to the ravage of the worm on the
grain subsequently planted on either of
them. 1t is said that in the old countries
e. "compacting the ground by rolling, or
driving sheep over it is practiced by
some farmers to lessen their attacks"
Rolling is very generally practiced here
yet we have never noticed any difference
between rolled ground and that which
was merely leveled by a clod-smasher.
The professor closes his suggestions by
recommending summer-fallowing and
then keeping the ground free from weeds
and any other growth during the sum-
mer season. He says this ought to
starve them and perhaps it would but
we have pl ofound impression that we
have yet good deal to learn about the
habits and best means of externinatino
the Eastern Oregon "wire-worm.'

PUNISHMENT DOES PREVENT
CRIME.

Those who believe that to mitigate the
punishment of crime or to abolish the
death penalty will tend to lessen the
number of crimes or murders will have
difficulty in explaining the statistics that
clearly prove that since the period when
punisments were mitigated in Europe
crime has largely increased in the coun-
tries where such mitigation has taken
place. Mr.. Charles Scott in late num-
Der of this JuridicGl ReUie,U says: ''In
France from 1928 to 1884 murders have
increased from 1877 to 234 infanticides
from 102 to 1874; blows and assaults from
5000 to $1,000; robberies from 900 to 33,-
600, and so on with other crimes and
offenses. And yet from 1926 to 1884 the
population had only increased by seven
millions. In 1885 the volume of crime
was still augmenting. In Naples, in
1882 homicides of all kinds, (uninten-
tional included) amounted to 669, and in
1880 (unintentional not included) to
1861. Where the death penalty has
been altogether or almost abolished,
murder has increased in an extraordi-
nary degree. In Belgium murders in
creased in frightful manner, whenever
the knowledge of the abolition of the
scaffold spread among the masses.
From 1865 to 1880 murders increased
from 81 to 120. In Prussia, where for
many years there had been no execu-
tions, murders increased from 242 in
1854 to .51S in 1880. In Switzerland
where capital punishment was abolished
in 1874 murders increased in five years
in the proportion of 70 per cent. The
same effect was produced in France and
Italy" How will the modern crank
who holds that punishment is not re-
,formatory and that the death penalty is
not a. deterrent of murder, account for
these facts?

Baby is sick.-The woeful expression
of Des Moines teamster's countenance

ly without cause, when he inquired of
druggist of the same city what was best
to give baby for cold? 1t was not ne
cessary for him to say more, his counte-
nance showed that the pet of the family,
if not the idol of his life was in distress.
eve give our baby Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, was the druggists answer.
81 don't like to give the baby such strong
medicine" said the teamster. You know
John Oleson, of the Waters Talbot Print
ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug
gist. His baby, when eighteen months
old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy and drank the whole of
it. OF course it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ba-
by's cold. The teamster already knew
the value of the Remedy, having used it
himself, and was now satisfied that there
was no danger in giving it even to a
baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinersly.

The weather conditions have been ex-
ceedlngly favorable to cereals, causing
the prospects for harvest to be extraordf-
narly good. General reports indicate
hay crop to be unusually heavy; wheat
and oats appear to be in better condition
than for many years, if ever better at
this season. The cool weather and rains
have not been favorable to the straw

berries are not as plentiful. Stone fruits
Will not be an average, especially in the
N1lIamettee valley. The warmth in
January, the cool spring and frosts,
which at the time were not supposed to
have done much damage, did really do
great damage. Fruit is falling off, and
some trees dying. Cherries and prunes
are especially injured. Cherries are be-
gard to the fruit is receive from portions
of Douglas and from Josephine, jackson
and Curry counties. Corn acreage has
been increased and is doing we'll Vine

pecially about Lebanon, Linn county no
lice are found.
EASTERN OREGON WEATHER.
A lower temperature than the previous
week, together with partly cloudy
weather and general rains prevailed. In
some sections the. rain was unusually
heavy. Thunder storms are generally
reported.
General crop prospects were never bet
ter at this season of the year, than they
are at present throughout this section.
Farmers are jubilant over excellent
prospects. The rains were copious,
timely and very beneficial New life
and vigor has been imported by the rain
to all vegetation. The hot winds of two
weeks ago did some damage, but it has
been more than recompensed by the
benefit the rain has been to winter and
especially spring wheat. "I have never
seen more promising prospect for
crops" writes a correspondent from Nor
row county and similar reports are re-
celved from every county. Crickets are
doing some damage in Malheur county.
Irrigation is in progress in Baker county.
In Wasco and about Milton, Umatilla
county, strawberries are very plentiful,
and cherries are ripening. Absense of
hot winds during the present month will
allow of the present excellent prospects
to be realized. B. S. PAGUE.

Abato, Esmeralda, Amazones, Biebie, Almirante
Cochrane and Magelanes, were to have left
Caldera on or about August ID with 1000 we'll

landing in San Antonio and march
by land upon the Southern strongholds of Bal

Valparaiso. Whatever course is taken by the
Junta's fleet, fierce fight may be ex-
peeted within a few days. The feeling
in Antofagasta and all the insurgent towns
against the United States OH account
OF the ltata continues TO grow in bitterness. The
insurgents do not understand why that vessel
should be delayed SO long in California. When
the ltata LETT here 1t was thought she would be
promptly released as soon as she reached an
American port.
The government forces in and around Santiago
number 1000 men. Great interest is mani
tested by the insurgents in the movements of
BaImacedas two new war ships, the Pinto and

made to prevent their reaching Chilean waters.
WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 20.-In Diplomatic
circles IL Is confidently expected that the state
department viii grant the'envoys of the Chilean
constitutional government a chance to argue
their cause. They were unotiicially informed
some time ago through a United States
senator that they could not be re-
ceived Subsequently, however, the fortunes
OF the insurgents improved, and it is believed
the reports of Minister Egan's conduct will
cause Secretary Blaine to revise his policy to-
ward Chile. Private advlces lately received from
Santiago indicate that Eagan continues to exert
himself in favor of Balmaceda, talking openly
against the constitutional government Now
that two cargoes of arms and ammunition have
arrived at lquique, the agents of the constitu
tonal government here do not appear To
worry over the Itata case. The general
superstition is that the vessel will be
released. II she is, her owners will
