Comments Concerning the Approaching
Sale--Thcrc viii be Bidders.


The Corvallis Times says positive
assurance Is had that at least one
bidder will be on hand at the coming
Oregon. Pacific sale. This Is certainly
encouraging news. II any reasonable
bid Is made at the coming sale, it
should be confirmed Failure to do 20
will be a serious blow to the road, the
creditors and to the state.
The Corvallis Times says; In spite
Of the fact that the Montana people
have signed a contract to build the
railroad from Globe to Astoria, they
are still swinging around the circle Of
the Oregon Pacific. Tuesday Mr.. f.
Stone and d. l.. Smith arrived In
town and remained until yesterday,
when they took the 0. P. train for
Albany. Smith Is civil engineer,
Identified with the Bonner and Ham
mond people. and Mr.. Stone is the
man who has been over the o. p.
several times recently. The first ex-
amined surveys, maps, etc, of the
general office and the other took ac-
counts Of the earnings and expenses of
the property. Mr.. Stone admitted
frankly that his people were looking
overthe property to see What could he
done with it, and said thai. lie wou d
be in Corvallis on the 2lst, which
happens to lie the day before tie
sale. After signing u contract involy-
ing the outlay of q couple of millions
in the construction Of the Astoria
road A. d. Hammond, Of the Montana
syndicate, said to an Oregoniah re-
porter, relative to the Oregon Pacific:
u do not wish to say anything about
my intentions in that matter. con-
slider 1t q good speculation and who
ever purchases it will secure first
class property that cost several mill
ions. The last time 1t was sold it
brought $500, 900, but 1t is hard to say
what it will bring at this sale.n The
close observer of human nature will
argue, concerning Mr. Hammond's
remarks, that if he had no designs on
the Q. p, he would have told the re-
porter in plain English that he didn't
want it.

Tho Dyaks Of Borneo.

The ferocity of the Dyaks Of Borneo
when Rajah Brooke first came was ap-
palling. No social or religious function
could take place among the tribes with.
out bloodshed. Young unmarried girls
came forth from the long seclusion to
which they had been condemned since
childhood Lo anamic that they could
badly stand. A slave was killed in
their honor and the blood of the victim
sprinkled over them. Head hunting had
decimated the race. 1t was imperative
that husbands should oonjure evil spirits
by bringing a human head to their
wives before the expected birth of q
child. Boys might not aspire to man.
hood without having earned the badge
Of tho head hunter.
A skull was the first gift Of q lover
to his mistress and the last token Of re-.
speot by which the living oould honor
the dead. On account Of his rank no
petty chief could be buried without
many freshly deoapitated heads to form
his escort into the next world. The
greatest respect. moreover, was shown
to such trophies. They were smoked
over fire to preserve them. Their lips
were forced open to receive the choicest
morsels during the family meal. To-
bacco and betel nuts were also spread
before them. They were looked upon ~
honored guests, and every effort was
made to win their friendship. Fort.

A MOTH CATCHING PLANT.
t Closes Its Jaws and Catches Its Victim
~ In Wise.

t Closes Its Jaws and Catches Its Victim
~ In . Wise.
A New Zealand correspondent sug.
gests that the ravages Of certain: larvm
In some countries might be greatly re-
stricted by the introduction d the New
Zealand moth catching plant Araugia
albens. This plant. which Is q native
Of southern Africa, was introduced to
New Zealand quite accidentally about
seven years ago, and since then it has
been extensively propagated there on ac-
count Of its effective service ms q killer
Of destructive moths.
Wherever the climate ID mild the
plant is IN exceedingly free grower. It
twines and climbs with greatluxurianoe
and produces immense numbers Of white
or pinkish flowers. which have very
agreeable scent. These flowers attract
innumerable moths. On summer even
ing q hedge Of araugia will be covered
by q perfect cloud Of moths, and In the
morning there will not be single how-
er that does not imprison one or two
and sometimes as many as -four insects
Of various sizes and genera. The action
Of the araugia is purely mechanical.
The calyx Of the flower is rather deep,
and the receptacle for its sweet juices is
placed at its base. Attracted by the pow
erful scent and the prospect Of honey,
the moth dives down the calyx and pro-
trudes its proboscis to reach the tempt
ing food, but before it can do 80 the
proboscis is nipped between two strong,
hard, black pinohers, which guard the
passage, and once nipped there is no es-
cape for the moth, which is3 held as in
wise by the extreme end Of the probes
CHS and dies miserably.
The rationale Of the process is not
yet explained. The proboscis is so very
slightly inserted between the pinohers
{only minute fraction of an inch) that
u apparently cannot affect the genera.
tive organs of the plant unless these
MAY be the pinchers themselves, whose
actual contact may be necessary for re-
production. Upon dissection the pinch
ers, even in their ordinary position, are
invariably found to be almost in contact,
the separating interval being apparent
under a strong lens. It is therefore hard
to understand why such q process as the
destruction Of a moth should be neoes'
sary to close this already minute gap.
But at all events, the thing is done,
and effectively, and plant of araugis
covering space Of ten yards in length
will destroy as many hundred moths ev
cry night. and consequently prevent tht
ravages Of 80 times as many Larvae. L
is, however. singular fact that in New
Zealand, where the plant has often beer
cultivated for the express purpose Of de-
stroying the detested codling moth, Car
pocapsa penienalla. that willy insect de-
clines to enter the trap.
