CORVALLIS, June 22-The new wheat
pest, first reported d few days ago from
RosebHg. has been also reported within
the past few days to Professor Washburn,
entomologist at the experiment station,
by observers at Salem, R ,seburg, Grants
Pass, Elk Head, Douglas county, Eugene,
Albany and Harrisburg. Concerning it,
Professor WasEburn makes the following
statement:
"The insect referred to is the grain
aphis (aphis avenae), which has been at
times SO destructive in the Eastern states.
1t may become equally destructive here
though the minute parasites which are
at work on it will possibly keep it in
check.
mo really practicable remedy can be
applied while the wheat Is standing.

aphis. but for various reasons this treat2

II the grain is not worth harvesting aud
Is not too green, it should be burned while
standing. The presence of fences is
against this procedure, but it Is the best,
in fact the only remedy known to en-
tomologists."

The Tug James ID. N,chol Sunk.

New YORK, June 24-The tug james
D. Nichol, with 63 excurslonlsts,, and a
crew of ten or twelve, sank about
o'clock this afternoon, three miles off the
Highlands Fifty four of those on board
haYe been accounted for. The rest were
probably drowned. The tug lett Fifth
street and East river at 7 80 this morning
for the fishing grounds. She had, it is
said, license to carry 90 passengers,
but 63 tickets were sold There was
bar and lunch counter on board, whose
attendants, with the crew. made the
total number on board rs. The tug
reached the banks on time, but the
fishing was poor and the sea too rough
for comfort, and about noon she started
back. When about three miles east Of
the Highlands and about ionr mile s
south of Scotland lightship, the waves
began to break heavily over her star
board rail. To dodge the water and
wind the passengers began ito run
around the port side and TO climb on top
of the deckhouse. The boat careened
alarmingly to port, and the water swept
over the rail. The terrorstrlcken men
rushed back to starboard, and the tug
swung deeply on that side. At the same
moment heavy breakers struck the boat
in quick succession. The captain.
William Eyatt, stuck pluckily to his
post and sounded the whistle in pro-
longed scream for help. Even as be did
so, the tug filed with water that poured
into her from both sides, and sank out of
sight in the water. She went down like
stone, carrying many of the passengers
with her.

An Immoral { Error.

Eugene Guard. Surveyor General Ryart
has discovered an important error made
in the recent p: exclamation of the presi-
dent intended to exclude from the Cas-
cade timber reservation the land lying il
the Bohemia mining district. Il appears
that the description OF the land excluded
In the proclamation is incorrect, and tha
instead of the Bohemia district it ex-
cludes from the reservation ana opens tC
settlement tract of land lying consider
ably north of the one intended, while the
mining district still lies in the roserva-
ton as it now stands. The surveyor
general has called the attention of The
department to the error, and steps will
probably be taken to exclude the Bohe-
mia district from the reservation.

Miss IIIIdebrandt,s Death.

The following account of the terrible
accident by which Miss Amanda }. Hill
debrandt lost her life is taken from Sc
attle paper:
Miss Hildebrant was the teacher of the
fifth grade pupils in the Rainier school
and last evening the closing exercises
were held. Everything passed off pleas
antly and the crowd OF pupils and proud
fathers and mothers which filled the hall
had only praise for the teacher who had
made such good progress with her classes.
During the evening Miss HIldebrandt
was troubled about tall lamp that stood
IN close proximity TO the piano and in
such position that she feared people IN
passing to and from the room were in
danger of knocking it over. Just us the
exercises were finished and the mass OF
people arose and moved toward the door,
Miss Hlldebrandt went over near the
lamp. She had not been there long when
some person brushed up against it and

With thoughts only of those. whose lives
were in danger she sprang forward and
grabbed the standard in which the lamp
proper is set The burner, together with
the oil cup, which is commonly called
the top of the lamp, fell out, and the
flames fared up wildly.
Quick as flash the heroic girl grabbed
the SKIRT of her light evening dress and
did her utmost TO extInguish the flames
In moment her dress was on fire, and
before the throng of people had time tc
realize what had occurred the flames bad
enveloped the fair girl from head to foot
With rare presence of mind she put hel
handkerchief over her mouth and ran fol
the door. The sight of human being
covered with tiny flames that each mo-
ment grew larger caused thrill of horror
to sweep through the throug. Women

the burning girl ran out Of the doorway
she passed her brother, George, who saw
but only knew that some one was being

of stairs to the main floor, passed through
the hall to the front door and as the flames
which now threw out their tongues more

Help was now at hand in the persons OF
Prof. Walter D. Gerand and David Young,
of Lake Union. The professor picked up

steps and in a few moments she was
wrapped in the coats which the two rescu-
ers quickly stripped off. The flames. how
ever, were still eating at her flesh, and not
until George Hildebrandt and w. Lluehan
turned the school hose on her was the FIRE
put out. Then and not until then, did

trying to save The poor girl was then
taken to her home just across the street.

family physician arrived.
Upon examination it was found that to
all intents and purposes Miss Hildebrandt's
clothes had been burned from her body.
From her head to her feet there was not
place as large as the hand that the flames
had not eaten. Her hair was singed, but
fortunately, owing to the handkerchief she
held over her mouth, part of her face es-
capped. After reaching home she experienced
great pain, but towards midnight she grew
easier, and under anesthetics was getting
some rest. During the entire horrible ordeal
Miss Hildebrandt retained self-conscious--
ness and was able to tell just what hap
peped.
