Grasahoppers Are Doomed.

About three weeks ago grasshoppers
fiocked in on the Three and Five-Mile
ranches by the million, and for time
it appeared as if they would devour
everything that was green, but they
soon began to show signs of weakness,
and eventually began to die by the
wholesale. Mr.. Benson, who resides
on Five-Mile began making investiga-
tion and learned that the hoppers were
being attacked by small blue fly with
white wings that proves formidable
enemy to the pests. 1t seems that the
fly lights upon the hoppers deposits
from one to five eggs, then lights upon
another. The eggs soon hatch small
white worm, quarter of an inch in
length that eats into the grasshopper's
vitals, when the hoppers begin to get
sluggish and in day or two dies. Mr..
Benson says millions of hoppers have
thus been destroyed, and as they have
not yet deposited their eggs. he be-
lieves these pests are doomed to anni-
hilatiop.

WHEAT SALES UP THE ROAD.
The East Oregonian reports Heavy Sales
List SATURDAY..

The East OregOnian Reports Heavy Sales
List SATURDAY..
A representative of the East Ore
gonian toured through part of the
famous wheat belt Sunday on the o. r.
& N. train between Pendleton and
walla Walla. He found the farmers
have been selling their wheat at a
lively rate under the stimulus of good
prices. They have been getting the
benefit of the top price, too, in the
majority of instances. Especially was
this true on Saturday, when dealers
wanted wheat, and crowded their
limits to get it. Competition was
keen, evidently. between the Hamil-
ton-Rourke Warehouse System and
Pacific Coast Elevator Company. The
agents of these big dealers were in the
field to buy, and did buy larg"
quantities. AS result a higher price
was paid at smaller towns along the
line than in Pendleton and Walla
Walla, on Saturday last. On Friday
and Saturday, it is thought that
farmers throughout the country sold
at least million bushels.
The heaviest trading was done at
Athena. AS previously reported a
pool of $780, 900 bushels was sold there
Friday to the elevator company. On
Saturday, late at night, this company
bought another batch OF $4,000
bushels at stiff prices. Eighty cents
was paid for club, as against III cents
in Pendleton, and 80 cents f. o. b. at
Walla Walla.
There was lively bidding at Weston
Saturday for pool of about 10000
sacks. Agents for the two big COM
panies kept the telephone busy getting
prices, and competition was spirited.
Late at night, James 81. Price, the
Hamilton-Rourke buyer, got the wheat
by paying S0a cents for it.
At Adams nothing could be learned
save that considerable wheat changed
hands there Saturday. The highest
price supposed to have been paid was
TIL cents.
It is reported that the highest price
of all was paid Saturday at Helix, be.
ing S2a cents for blue stem. John Nc
Eachern bought about 10000 bushels
there for the elevator company.

HOOD RIVER FRUIT FAIR.
That Thriving Little City Will Exhibit
Her Chief Product

Her Chief Product
The fruit growers of Hood River
met Saturday in the A. o. .. W. hall
and declared their intention to hold a
fruit fair during the coming fall. Hon.
E. L. Smith, president of the state
board of horticulture, was made tenn
porary chairman of the meeting, with
H. c. Bateham as secretary. After a
short discussion of the subject, in
which the sentiment of all present was
shown TO be in favor of holding fruit
fair, permanent organization was eff
fected by the election of regular officers
and the selection of an executive, COM
mittee. The officers elected are: j. w.
Morton, president; Henry Prigge, vice
president: II. c. Bateham, secretary;
N. C Evans, treasurer. The executive
committee consists of the duly elected
officers and five additional names-Df.
J. F. Watt, A. Fl. Jewett, W. A. Slim
gerland, Mrs. T. L. Smith and Mrs. o.
L. Stranahap.
Mt. Hood, White Salmon, Mosier
and other fruit-growing sections of the
mid -Columbia will be invited to join
with Hood Riyer in her exhibition OF
the world famous Oregon apples.
Many OF the fruit growers are decid-
edly averse to the awarding of premi-
ums, claiming that, as there is such
little variation between the products
of the Hood River orchards, such
action is productive of no good results,
while it has tendency to create dis
satisfaction. 1t was suggested that
extra fine specimens of fruit be given
blue ribbon or diploma of honor
! able mention, but no definite action
was taken by the meeting.-Glacier.

A Sehool That Is Thorough In Every
Respect.
Probably there is not another busi-
ness college in the West that is more
thorough, or that turns. out more
young men and women with a more
complete knowledge of business than
does the Holmes Business College of
Portland. Besides fitting young people
for business avocations, the school
exerts every endeavor to secure lucra-
tive employment for its graduates, and
in this meets with exceptionally good
success, as a recommendation from the
Holmes college rarely fails to secure a
situation.
Miss Holmes, in addition to being
assisted by an able corps of teachers,
gives her entire attention to the up
building of the school and caring for
the moral as we'll as mental education
of those entrusted to her care.
The school maintains six depart
ments, a three years course in English
branches, course in bookkeeping,
penmanship, shorthand, typewriting
and telegraphy.
The principal not only gives strict
attention to the business education of
pupils. but also exercises supervision
over the home life and moral culture
of students, and is also able to provide
safe and comfortable rooms for students
at low cost.
The past few years of business de-
preston has impressed upon all the
demand for thorough business educa-
tion, all recognizing the necessity of
a knowledge of intricate theories and
practical application more than ever
before. The Holmes college supplies
this knowledge and may well be termed
one of the pillars of business education
in the Northwest.

The Great Parade.

On account OF the rain Main street
was in such a muddy condition that
the parade could not be started at 10
o'clock, preferring to wait until the
streets had dried up some. An hour
later the procession moved north
under the guidance of DR.. S. J. Moore,
marshal, and his three deputies R. P.
Hall, Fl. II. McLain and Rev. Frank
Durant. First came the bicycle corps,
the but number was cut down consid er-
ably owing to the muddy roads. The
Juvenile band came next followed by
the officers and speakers OF the day and
the G., A. r. veterans. Then appeared
the South Dakota float which elicited
much applause. Avery Frink, astride
of a white horse, represented "Uncle
SAM" and on the fiat wagon stood a
handsome Jersey cow, with wreath
of flowers around its neck. and by it's
side sat Mabel McDermaid, whose age
was equal to that of South Dakota as q
state, seven years. The wagon was
beautifully trimmed in. the national
colors and was drawn by D. McDer
maids two white horses with G. w.
Johnston's in front as tandem team.
The whole was imposing and calculated
to impress, aside from the agricultural
features of the state, the Importance OF
the dairy interests. Next came the
fire department and their champion
ship banner, time 80 15, and the boys
were proud of it. The Union township
band enlivened this part of the pro.
cession with music. The liberty car
EN- bracing all the states in the union
was an attractive feature, with Edna
Daniels as the Goddess of Liberty
This, with the South Dakota float, was
arranged by Mrs. Ben Oleson and as
sisted by Mrs. j. o. Walrath and Jessie
1t was we'll arranged and presented ar
appearance at once striking and hand
some. Following came the delegation
from Plano township, with severa
men dressed in characteristic costumes
of farmers and laborers and they
created lots of fun. The participant tt
in the afternoon races came next. E
B. VanAlstine made a splendid dis
play of his agricultural implements
buggy and musical business. On hil
large float, richly decorated, were sew
eral organs, played by Carl Hoover
while F. T. Windle, dressed in the
costume of an old lady, kept the sewing
machines going, while the Mon
arch bicycles were advantageously
shown. Mr.. VanAlstine extended his
display with samples of the Henney
and other buggies, the Deering ball
bearing corn harvester, the light-draf
