HAMILTON ALMOST DESTROYED.
Town in SEagit COSnty Suffered Ter
ribIy From The Floods.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 22-Probably the
town in Skagit county to suffer most by
the flood of the Skagit river was Hamil-
ton. The town is a complete wreck. The
big brick store building of Baker C
Fountaine is a heap of ruins and the
grounds are buried under the fallen
walls. Everything is in horrible condi-
ton. The streets are washed out, the
sidewalks gone and the town is filled with
tree stumps and rubbish. Everyone is
discouraged and heart-broken and the
scene beggars description.
No lives were lost, although there were
several close calls. The water in the
lower part of town was up to second
stories and some were prisoners up
stairs on Saturday noon when they were
taken off in boats. The track of the
Seattle & Northern railroad between
Wooley and Hamilton has been almost
completely destroyed and it will probably
be two weeks before the road is in good
ing condition again. The loss TO
yer ranches will be heavy, as con-
able stock was lost.

PINGREE CHANGES HIS MIND.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 3.-When the Re

its platform at st. Louis, Mayor Pin
gree was inclined to object to the
gold clause, and accused the state del

seen the error of his ways,and in his
letter of acceptance, comes out square
for gold and protection, thereby dis
many Popocrats, who had
hoped he would jump the platform,
or, at least, make a straddle. On the
currency question he says that the
question is. ''What party policy will
best subserve the greatest good of the

ciple will most surely restore conf
dence and set in motion the wheels Of
industry, giving employment to the

IhE El1I-HEADEO BORER.

The destruction caused by this insect
in young apple orchards, during the
past few years, in many states, is per-
fectly astonishing. The death Of many
young trees Is often laid 10 the nursery
man when il is in truth due TO the borer.
The pest can be easily handled. The
adult is d small beetle which can be seen
any warm day in June. Ii is quite
noticeable on account of its beautiful
greenish color. They are about half the
size OF II potato bug and as rule lay
eggs on the trunks Of the tree near the
ground; still have found them as high
As the fork. They prefer a weak or
sickly tree but il conditions are favora-
BILE no tree will stand their ravages.
The eggs are laid in June and July, and
in few days the borers enter the trees
and work just under the fork, always on
the south side Of the trunk, aud in few
weeks will have committed such havoc
that the tree has been ruined beyond
recovery.
AS these bOrers cannot work success
fully in the shade, anything that will
shade the trunk will check them. Some
orchsrdists use lath protectors: Others
wrap the trunks with straw or building
paper; but have found the most effect
i've and cheapest method was TO dissolve
bar or two Of soap to pail OF water
add 10 this two tablespoonfuls of crude
carbolic acid, mix well, then with 6
whitewash brush wash all the trunks
early in June, and during the fore par
of July give them second application
You will then have no reason to feal
borers, as this mixture will only prevent
them, but many other insects, from
troubling the young trees.-Home stead
