FALL OF A METEOR.


CLEARBRooK, Wash, June 27.-[Special.l ]
The people of the thriving town OF Clear
brook were last night thrown into a state
OF fevered excitement by phenomenon of
nature never before witnessed in these
parts, as attested by its oldest inhabitants.
About o'clock in the evening q number
of persons were gathered in front of the
store of Mr. J. G. Nattrass, discussing q
celebration of July 4. when suddenly the
heavens lighted up as if a number of cleo
tric arc lights had been turned on. The
people were amazed and stood gazing in
wonder and astonishment at the huge
meteor, as it proved TO be, which was mov-
ing slowly on about a three degree arc from
south TO north, and at about a forty-ive
degree altitude. Its speed at once seemed
accelerated, and with the apparent in
creased velocity made terrific whizzing
noise similar to that of large
skyrocket, leaving trail of fiery light
across the entire heavens. At this moment
the watchers experienced a shock similar
to sudden earthquake shock, loud re-
port was heard, and the windows of the
buildings in the town gave a rattling
sound, and then it was all over. This
morning a search was made and the
meteor was found to have struck in field
of barley belonging to John Kelly, whose
farm is adjacent to Clearbrook. 1t had
imbeded itself many feet In the ground.
The heat was so intense and heated tine
ground to such an extent that large
patch of the growing barley is killed,
that nearer by being burned to crisp.
Robert Duncan now has party at work
excavating his meteorship, which is doubt
less visitor from some of our sister
planets

HOP LICE ON THE DECREASE.
Good News From Puyallup Valley
Green Insects Not All Dangerous.

Green Insects Not All Dangerous.
PUYALLUP, June 30.-[SpeciaL There is
no longer any doubt as to the good work
the little insects called ''nigger heads" are
doing. From the East comes the news
that they are one of the hop growers best
friends. Several samples of vines were
sent to New York experts from Oregon
with what was supposed to be lice, but
which turn out TO be nothing more nor
less than the little green nits found on
vegetation at this time of the year. This
may change the whole aspect of the aues-
tion-at least as far as Oregon is con-
cerned.
As regards hop lice in this valley, there
is good ground for believing they are on
the decrease-at least they are not in
creasing. 1t is, however, well to keep
careful watch of the vines and clean of all
those pests that can be seen. 1t NAV be
well to warn the hop growers against un-
scrupulous persons who are selling pumps
and insect destroyers at exorbitant prices.
The surest protection against these ped
dlers is TO go to recognized hardware
stores in their several localities and
secure a field force pump, which can
be obtained anywhere for not more than
$14. The weather keeps warm and the
growing crop never looked better.
PUYALLUP. Jue 29.-The latest adyices
from New York by letters received today
show that the hop crop there is in a good
condition. The lice are disappearing. and
what is another good indication of the
fair prospects of the coming crop, holders
of 1905 are beginning to look rather anx-
iously for buyers. Twenty seven and one
half cents is the top figure in the New
York market for 1905
