Contest for senator.

OLYMPIA, JAN 19-If Levi Ankeny can
hold bis forces together, it lie moro than
probable he will be elected United States
senator next Tuesday. He is undoubt-
edly the leader in the senatorial fight,
with Wilson not great ways behind. !.
Using the phraseology of the racetrack.
it may be said that if Ankeny's wind
holds out be will come under the wire
first, with Wilson second, Allen third,
and Mcmillan, Shaw and Jones dlstanced
If, on the other hand, the cohesive
strength of Ankeny's forces is not suffi-
cient to secure him the nomination on
the first ballot, in the caucus to be held
on Monday evening, there is grave dam
ger that the prize for which be has s'rug-
gled so long and earnestly may pass to
other hands not Wilson's nor yet Aliens.
Into whose hands 1t will fall no prophet
in Olympia today has sufficient pre-
sciencs to foretell. unless it be into the

Turner. There has been considerable
earnest talk during the past few days In
favor of these gentlemen, In the event OF
an entirely new man being taken up and
elected.

The parasissc Fungus.

Special Government Agent Price gave
out the following information in refer
ence to the parasitic fungus prevalent on
apple trees from Central California to
Middle Oregon, and north to British
Cviumbis on the west side of the Cascade
mountains:
"Recent Investigations. con 1ucted at
this laboratory, following those made in
Oregon aud Washington, have disclosed
the fact that the apple disease prevalent
throughout the western portion of these
states, and which affects the trunk and
branches around the apple trees, Is large
ly due to an action of parasitic fungus,
the life history of which is now being
studied. The department recommends
that the diseased trees be thoroughly
sprayed with Bordeaux mixture, special
care being taken to trea; frequently those
parts affected the preceding season. The
treatment should invariably be preven-
tive aud not curative. The Bordeaux
mixture is best adapted for use during
the rainy season, and is made with 10
pounds of lime and six pounds of copper
sulphate to 40 gallons of water"
