New Jerseys Insects Revenge for Viola
ton of Monroe Doctrine.

New Jerseys lnsects Revenge Ior NioiA-
ton of Monroe Doctrine.
The narrowing news comes from Lon
don that a mosquito has been taken
alive in Hertfordshire. \ gentleman
living at Barley, Royston, writes to
London paper that on a recent evening
he encountered the ferocious beast In
his bedchaluber.
An Englishman is always brave, and
it seems almost superfuous to add that
the man of Barley grappled with the
creature single-handed, nor stayed his
hand until it was under subjection. We
sometimes read of such feats of derring
doe even in these degenerated days.
Next to vindicating his personal
bravery, an Englishman's first duty Is
to write to his newspaper and tell about
it. To this admirable national trait
the readers of the Sunday Herald are in
debted for the particulars herein set
forth. The man of Barley had Travelled
in far countries. Among other places
he had visited the famous city of New
Jersey, and in the transmississipplan
capital had met and coped with the
mosquito in its lair.
Thus he is able to identify his quarry
and lay before the British public .
narrowing picture of the animals dis
tinguishing traits.
'The specimen caught" he writes,
"has every Characteristic of the for
eign mosquito, especially the New
Jersey variety. 1 believe they have
been brought to England with timber,
for in New Jersey the logs of timber,
which are usually carried down the
rivers, have on them mosquito eggs
gathered from the surface of the wa
ter, where they breed, and so in this
manner are transported to Europe,
where the sunshine matches them, and
they fly away"
1t now remains only to unite the
English people as one man against the
invader. Hence this suggestion:
"Let every person carefully examine
his bedroom window in the morning
and kill them, as by so doing they would
be prevented laying their eggs and
breeding. Now is the time to act to
prevent them spreading. They may
easily be known by their resemblance
to gnats, but having long trunk or
proboscis, and by making humming
noise when approaching the face or
hands of a person"
Accompanying this slogan is dia-
gram " what has been called the busi-
ness end of the mosquito, which may
be used for further Identification of the
dreaded foe, should he be encountered
unawares.-N. Y. Herald.

The Columbia river has started on
its spring rise and is now about 10
feet above low water. The early rise
it is thought will be beneficial to the
firhermen, as it will start the salmon
running before the 10 of April. when
the fishing season opens.
J. R. Woodcock is in the city, and
reports everything very backward
about Wa mic. Little blowing has been
done yet this spring, owing to the
ground having been too wet, and stock
in that section will soon be suffering
for feed unless the weather moderates.
Four members of the state board of
agriculture resigned last Saturday.
They were Jefferson Myers, D. A. Nc

DR.. Wilson has arrived. at Heppner
from Douglass, Wyoming. He will
drive about 10000 head of sheep over
the trail this season. He purchased
1900 head of yearling ewes from the
Do1 P- of
county, for which it is reported he
paid S1.40 per head.
About 10 o'clock Saturday night the
entire fire department was called out
by an alarm from the East End. The
cause of the alarm was the burning out
of chimney in the residence of w. c..
Allaway. There was no damage done
except to the muscles of the people
who overexerted themselves running
to the fire.
County School Superintendent Gill
bert and family arrived at st. Louis,
Missouri, on the "a, having had a
pleasant journey that far. Mr.. Gilbert
writes back that they encountered
very cold weather at Cheyenne, where
he says the mercury registered 1S de-
grees below zero. His friends here
think he must have been using spirit
thermometer when at Cheyenne.
People wanting appointment to fed
eral offices are not scarce in this COM
munity, nor are they lacking in per-
sistency. The endorsement of prom
inent citizens, regardless of politics, is
sought, and one prominent democrat
remarked the other day that his strong
right arm had become disabled affixing
his signature to recommendations for
appointment. However, it is thought
his disabled arm was the result of an
attempt to beat Charles Lord's bowling
record.

Do Not Neglect Your Eyes.

Many suffer from poor eyesight who
could be relieved, but neglect to have
their vision corrected in time to save
or improve the sight, and as age creeps

If you have defective sight. do not pro-
crastinate, but have your eyes attended
to at once, and thus saYe yourself

answer to their challenge so worded as
to avoid incrimInating the writer,
others of possibly more gumption
seemed to understand it as intended.
AS the Invitations had been issued by
Misses Edythe Randall and .Lolah
Ewbank, the young meD, as the time
OF departure drew near, naturally
sought the home of these young ladies
for an explanation.
There they found the home arranged
to represent a railway train, with
notices and restrictions on the walls
and Mr.. Randall acting as ticket agent,
handeling leather punch with dex-
terity which showed years of service.
The notices informed the passengers
that. "If they had the grip the baggage
master would check it" also, They
could tip the scales" and others
equally as helpful to people travelling.
For an hour or more the young ladies
were CONSPICUOUS because of their
absence. but just when the young men
wei e beginning to wonder if only men
were allowed on the train, and some
were looking toward the door, uncon-
sciously perhaps but nevertheless long

The cooler weather stopped the melt

Powder river and its tributaries are
now within bounds. There is much

however, and a chinook would doubt

F. w. Silvertooth arrived yesterday
from Trail, B. c., where he is engaged

probably will be unusual disasters.
