The rainfall Of the past two weeks
shows up gloriously for next years
crops. The ground is now in better
condition than when plowing began
last spring. More rain has fallen in
the last two months than did all last
winter. In October the rainfall was
1.O7 inches, but l 81 inches has already
fallen in the present month. 1t seems
likely now that the deposit of moisture
for the winter will be equal to that OF
1885, which made the glorious crops OF
the next year. The farmers are greatly
encouraged by the prospect aud big
acreage will be put in this fall and In

Some fine specimens Of jet black
marble are being exhibited here this
week by r. F. Beale, of Spokane. Mr..
Beale is stone and mineral expert and
has made several notable locations of
stone in this section, the magnesia rock
of Asotin creek being one. He has
this time located marble quarry above
the mouth of Grand Ronde. The spec.
linens shown are certainly of very fine
quality and Mr.. Beale asserts that he
has ledge in boundless quantity. He
has taken up claim of 200 acres en-
bracing the ledge and out crop. The
rock, he claims, is of the finest quality
he has ever seen. 1t has the great ad-
vantage of varying in coler from pure
white to jet black in various parts oi
the ledge. Jet black marble is found
in but two known quarries in the world
-one being in Egypt, the other in Ire
land. This is the only extensive find
of marble in the northwest, and Mr.
Beale is very much elated over the dis.
covery. The ledge lies close to the
river ana can easily be worked and
shipped direct from the quarry. Steam
ers can take on cargo direct from the
ledge. Mr.. Beale Is now working or
the Lewiston Bank building, where hi
is employed dressing stone. As soor
as a sufficient amount of the marble
can be had to make a showing Mr.
Beale will travel, develop his claim
and put the stone on the market.

C0NslDERED 70 BE A DEADLY
FRUIT PEST
Protect Your Treesl



the appearance Of some Of the deadly
fruit pests in the orchards. The San
Jose scale b the most common Of these.
1t is product Of California and It b
brought into this country by the Inn
portation Of California fruit. 4. D.
Morris Of Yakima, lost this year flne
orchard valued at 5000. A box Of
California fruit was brought to his
place one day and left under one Of the
trees. The scale soon attacked that
tree and spread to the entire orchard
running both the fruit and the trees.
This pest has also appeared in Lewis
ton. Many Of the orchards are infested.
L. A. Porter broight to our notica
specimens Of fruit ruined by the scale.
A limb Of the same tree showed the
effect Of the deadly pest. Orchards
will have to be carefully guarded and
thoroughly disinfected or . quarintine
will be placed upon all fruit or trees
going out Of this place and the market
ruined. Both Washington and Idaho
have passed stringent laws concerning
the matter. The Washington state
Board of Horticulture at Its recent ses-
sion decided that the most effective
work In dealing with the fruit pests
could be done In the winter, when the
trees were in q manner dormant. To
penetrate the woody material with
which the eggs Of many noxious In
sects are surrounded aud the scales Of
the San Jose pest, strong wash ID
needed, and one can be used In the
lwinter that is five times stronger than
one which would injure the foliage 1t
another time. Lyes and sulphur can
be used In the Off season without In
jury, as can also soap and kerosene
emulsions. The board have further II.
sued q bulletin containing the names
and description Of certain insects that
infest the orchards of their state, also
the remedies recommended, that grow
ers may adopt and use such remedies
for the determination Of such insects
and fruit pests. The most dangerous
of these dreadful insects are the San
jose scale, the Red scale, White scale
and the Goblin Moth. Under the reg
ulations all persons dealing in infested
fruits shall disinfect the same before
putting 1t on the market. All boxes
bales, crates, sacks or other material
shall be burned or disinfected by some
known destructive solution. All fruil
growers are notified that they shall
disinfect and destroy all such insect
before selling or Offering for sale sucf
fruit. The law prescribes that any
lperson neglecting or refusing to com
ply with the regulations shall b
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, AMI
fined not less than $25 or more thai
$500, and the material infested shall b
declared q nuisance and abated ct tn
cost of the party convicted. The Idah'
law Is very similar and our grower
; will have to take all due regard to th
condition Of their orchards and fruit
or suffer the penalty Of loss Of market
An inspector has been appointed b.
the State board and all orchards vii
be inspected. It might be well for tn
careful grower to send to G. A. Tom
eson, Tacoma, WASH, and get the bul
liten issued and give attention towar'
exterminating these pests.
