THE STRIKE GROWS.
Rioting Has Commenced in Different
Places by the Strikers.
At Spokane one Man Was SfOt in the
Arm.

Both sides in the great strike seem de-
termined to hold out, and the strike con-
tinues to spread. The Northern Pacific
started train, manned by non-union
employees, out OF Tacoma Tuesday, and
it got along without trouble till it reached
Pasco where the strikers obstructed the
track by derailing freight cars. After a
few hours delay it got under way again,
and experienced no further difficulty till
Spokane was reached, Thursday after
noon. A large crowd OF strikers and
sympathizers gathered at the depot, and
when the train pulled in the fun began.
The rrain carried so deputy marshals,
and 40 more were sworn IN at Spokane,
and these attempted to guard the COM
pany's property. The strikers hurled
stones at the marshals, and derailed cars
t. keep the train from moving. During
the riot three deputies were injured by
being hit with flying rocks, and a car
penter who was with the strikers was
shot in the tleshy part of the arm by a
deputy. At last reports the train had
not left Spokane, but the officials say
that it will move.
At Chicago riot reigns supreme. The
U. S. troops, to the number Of 1000 men,
have been called to that city, but they
have been unable to keep the strikers
quiet, and no trains have yet moved.
The Great Northern and the 0. r.
n. portion OF the U. P. system are YET
running trains SO that mails are not en-
tirely cut off. No freight, however, cal
be obtained, and many lines of goods
are running low in all the blockadeC
towns. The damage to the fruit inter

Grain Aphis in the PalOuse Country

Following quickly after its appearance
IN western Oregon, this pest has arrived
In the Palouse country. Specimens OF
wheat sent to the Experiment Station
from Wawawai in the Snake river val
ley, by VIM. Batty, through the HERALD
office, have been identified by Prof. Pi-
per, the entomologist, as the true
grain aphis, SIPHoNoPHoRA AvENAE.
What is in all probability the same in
sect is reported attacking winter wheat
on the high ground above Wawawai.
They are said to be quite abundant in
places, and are found almost altogether
on the young wheat heads from which
they suck their food. AS yet no danger
is apparent.
Prof. Piper gives the following account
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1894-07-06

OF the insects: "The grain aphis is
native Of Europe but has been common
throughout the wheat regions OF the
eastern states at least since 1861. 1t has
also been present for six or sev,n years
in California. In the st the insect
usually appears in May, probably from
eggs laid on winter wheat, and increases
in numbers up till July when most Of
them disappear owing Blmost entirely to
the attacks of it's numerous insect enc
mics. Rarely, however, the insect is
abundant throughout the summer and
in 1861 and again in 1889 did serious
damage to grain crops in the eastern
states. Nothing practical what
ever can be done to suppress the pest.
Although it can easily be destroyed by
spraying, the expense Of this renders it
out OF the question, Burning the stubble
and straw after harvest has been recon-
mended as beneficial, but it is very
doubtful if this is OF the slightest use.
Besides wheat, the grain aphis attacks
oats, rye, barley and various grasses.
Whether the pest will prove serious or
not cannot as yet be predicted. 1t is to
be hoped, however, that its parasites
and other enemies will be as effectual
here as they are in the east."
