The San Diego Union says; Several
pests new to this part Of the country
have latley been discovered by Horti-
cultural Commissioner Gunnis, among
which are the black aphis, the woolly
aphis, the Norfolk Island pine scale and

OF the above have never before been

John Mclaughlin, foreman Of the
Providence mine at Nevada City, CAL,
beat Charles Runge over the head with
two-pound weight, and fractured his
skull. This enraged the miners, and

Twenty-seven canneries are packing
salmon on the Fraser river this year,
and 1926 boats are at york. sockeye
salmon, which is the only variety packed
there in large qualities, are running now
in immense numbers, the average take
by steady fishermen being 1000 for
twelve hours. The run has never been
better than at present, and the Gamer
les cannot get away with the quantity Of
fish supplied them, though some Of them
are packing ], 900 cases daily. Recently
fish were 90 plentiful that cents each
was the price asked by many fishermen; !;
but, owing to the great supply, numbers
we're unable to sell. II the run contin-
ues ten days longer, as it doubtless will,
the pack will aggregate fully 10000
cases. the largest ever put up on the
Fraser river, while some Gamers expect
the pack to run over 100000 cases.
Every packing establishment has made
preparations to pack to their full eapac-
ity, and will fill every can.
The following item is from recent
issue Of the Worlds Columbian Illus
trated, the official organ Of the exposi-
tion; "0regon has adopted a unique
and practical method Of displaying the
woods produced in that State. Attack
son Park there is house constructed
entirely Of Oregon woods. 1t is ten feet
square and nineteen feet high, and is
surmounted by an open cupola. The
body OF the structure is a yellow pine.
The roof is of red-cedar shingles, and is
supported by four Doric columns. The
columns are Of maple, and are very rich
" carved. The roof Of the cupola is
supported by four small Doric columns
Of carved oak. The interior is finished
with Panel work containing about allthe
woods Of the State, among which are
manzanita, madrone, yew, laurel, myr-
tie, ash, maple, oak, spruce, balm, fir,
sugar pine, bird's-eye pine, cherry, curly
maple and alder. The house forms the
Oregon pavilionin the forestry building"
Here is another high compliment in a
recent editorial correspondence to the
st, Joseph MOI Herald: Adjoining
the exhibits OF Missouri in both the hor-
ticultural and agricultural buildings are
the displays Of Oregon, the Legislature
Of which State appropriated scant ;60,-
600 in all for the purpose Of properly
representing the States resources and
industries az the Worlds Fair. The CON
trast between the two displays Is sogreat
as to put all Missonrians to shame. In
the Oregon booth in the horticultural
building over sixty varieties Of apples
are shown fresh and beautiful on plates,
while there are countless jars and boxes
Of peaches. plums, prunes, etc, 80 ar
ranged as to demand the attention Of all
who pass. Visitors rush through the
dusty Missouri space to get into the Or
egon booth and admire the products Of
the far Western State as arranged so
captiyatingly. The same is true Of the
agricultural exhibits. While the Mis-
souri, pavilion is more iavorably located
it does not command one visitor, while
dozens visit Oregon and inspect her
honest exhibits Of grain and grasses and
the general product Of the farm. Her
wheat is shown in two-bushel sacks, and
al who wish to examine it have only to
delge into the sacks and try q handful. i"
