Nothing but encouraging news comes
from Washington in regard to the res
erv ton bill, says the Lewiston Tribune.
1t is true Holman, the chairman OF the
Indian committee of the honse, insists
on two Objectionable features being in
serted in the bill, i e, the reduction OF
the rate of interest on the $l,OO0,OOO,
that is to be left in the treasury for the
Indians, from 5 to per cent. and the
payment OF small sum by the settler
before entry upon the land. The associ-
ated dispatches state that the committee
overruled Holman's motion in regard to
the one per cent. reduction which Will
obviate the necessity OF the Indians rat
ification OF that feature and avoid the in
terminable delays, etc. The bill intro
duced by Congressman Sweet on March
18th provides for the payment OF $3.50
per acre for agricultural lands and 50 for
stone and timber and mi neral lands, one
half of which shall be paid within two
wears from date of original entry. The
bill also provides that any person who
was not the owner OF land in any state
or erritory of the United States at date
of passage OF this act may make an entry
of the lands opened to settlement al
though said person may have heretofore
made an entry under the provisions OF
the homestead laws; provided that such
person is not otherwise disqualified.
! Congressman Sweet writes that with the
objections of Holman (stated above) he
was not sanguine of getting the reserya-
tion thrown open before August lst; and
that after the bill left the house it would
have easy sailing in the senate where
Senator Shoup was a member OF the In
dian committee. Congressman Sweet IS
certainly doing his utmost to push the
MASSAGE of the bill and as there are
number OF similar bills pending the COM
bined energy of the different members
interested should certainly be successful.
Many congressman have been interested
by different parties in our behalf ana II
looks now as though We would soon reach
the coal of ambition and have this great
rich reservation thrown open to settle
ment. The department has telegrapheu
for the address of Surveyor Briggs, when
but adds to the pleasing prospects, Inc
clouds seem to be disappearing.

variety material for the lover of nature

delightful glimpse OF the life of the cele-

oarsman, gives an inside glimpse OF the
crew mans life, which has hitherto been

OF the newspaper reporter. "Fishing

Fighting Fruit Pests.

The state board OF horticulture gives
notice that all fiuit trees infested with
the San Jose scale, woody aphis or oyster
shell bar6 lo1se must be SPRAYED or
washed before the end Of March.
Should any person neglect to disinfect
such trees he will be dealt with accord
to law. The board recommends the
following formula:
Unsclacked lime, pounds -. 10 or 60
Sulphur (best powdered), pounds 20
Salt pounds. ....................l5
Concentrated I've american Lye Com
pany BRANDY, pounds ....,.....t...2
Water to make 60 gallons.
When go pounds instead of 40 pounds
OF lime are used the solution will have
whittier appearance and the operator
can better detect when every limb has
been properly treated with the wash.
DIREcuoNs-Place 10 pounds OF lime
and 20 pounds of sulphor and the lye in
in a boiler with 20 gallons OF water, stir
and boil over brisk fire not less than
one hour and half or until the sulphur
is thoroughly dissolved. Next place in
a cask from 20 to 50 pounds OF un-
Stacked lime, pouring over enough hot
water to thoroughly slack it tbeing care
full to kee it moist and not to spoil it by
burning) and while it is burning add
the 10 pounds OF salt. When this is dis
solved add to the lime and sulphur in
the boiler and boil ior half an hour
longer. When the necessary amount Of
water to make 80 gallons should be
added. 1t should then be strained
through gunny cloth or burlap. When
using it should be frequently and well
stirred InanplGing this wash strong
rubber hose and nozzle having rubber
orifice or plate should be used, as those
made OF brass are soon worn out by the
action OF the lime.
