WASHINGTON AT OMAHA.
Views of the Scenery of the state
Wanted for Exhibition.

Seattle, Aug. 20-Has anybody a few
fine views of Washington that would look
well in the background of this states
exhibit at Omaha? If SO, either l.. X.
Armstrong or n. Rudebeck would be glad
to receive them. Mr.. Rudebeck writes
from Omaha to Secretary i. NJ. Wood
of Seattle thus:
Now, as | have secured space for our
Washington exhibit please make it your
strongest effort to secure me large eX-
hibit through our commissioners i'll the
different counties over the state. Ask
them to aid in making grand display of
Washington's resources. | feel good over
my success in securing that elegant space
for our exhibit. / am now looking up
cases to put our samples in.
"The space l have secured is lGX32
feet, with wall space, which we can use
as background for the different views
am now trying to secure from all parts
of the state. | would request you to make
call, as secretary of the Washington
state commission, to urge people to for
ward Inc these views of the different
plants and scenery from all parts of the
state, for background for the different
views l am speaking of, and when you
arrive l think you will say that Wash
ington is as well represented as she should
be-"
The space secured for Washington is
highly desired by other exhibitors, but
Commissioner Rudebeck has paid for it in
scrip and holds it against all corners. Ac-
cording to his letter this state has one OF
the best representations on the ground.

T0ADS USEFUL TO FARMERS.
They Feed on Insects which De-
stroy Crops.

That the toad is beneficial to the farm
er, and particularly to the gardener, If
admitted by every one who has observed
It's habits, says the American Agriculture
ist Additional facts have been secured by
the recent observations at the Alassachu-
setts experiment station which show that
ii per cent OF the toad's food is composed
of insects and spiders beneficial or in.
directly helpful to man, and 50 per cent
OF insects and other animals directly in
lunous to cultivated crops or in other
ways obnoxious to man. The toad feeds
on worms, snails, sow bugs, common
greenhouse pests, and the many legged
worms which damage greenhouse and gar.
den plots. 1t feeds to some extent on
grasshoppers and crickets, and destroys
large numbers of ants. 1t consumes con
siderable number of May beetles, rose
2hasers, click beetles or adults of the
wire worm, potato beetles, and cucumber
beetles 1t is a prime destroyer OF cut
worms and army worms.
TO all agriculturists the toad renders
conspicuous service, but the gardeners
and greenhouse owners may make this
animal of especial value. Every gardener
should aim to keep a colony of toads
among his growing crops and the prac-
tice OF collecting and transferring them
to the gardens is commendable one.
While the sense of locality is strong in the
toad, and it will often return over con
siderable distances to its original haunts,
yet it may be induced to remain i'll new
quarters il there is Il sufficient food sup
ply. Many farmers provide toads with ar
tifcial shelter, made by digging shallow
holes in the ground and partially covering
them with a bit of board or fiat stone. In
such places toads will often remain for
many days, sallying forth at night to seek
food.

THE SPOKANE FRUIT FAIR.
The Plans for the Annual Celebra-
ton of Eastern Washington.

Spokane is promising the people OF the
inland empire this year a fruit fair which
will be larger and better than ever be
fore. 1t will be held from the fourth to
the fifteenth day of October The tar
mers will be much farther advanced tins
wear with their crops than they were
last and will be able not only to attend
better, but they will be able to bring IN
their produce and compete for the prizes
which are offered i'll the premium list
which in many respects IS much better
this year than it was last.
There are two respects IN which the
fair this year will be far superior to
last. 1t will indeed be superior III every
way, but especially SO in two particulars.
One of these will be the harvest festival
parade, which, headed by some far god
dess OF plenty whom Whitman county Is
to choose, who will ride i'll chariot OF
mangnifcence and splendor, will be as
far superior to the parade last year as
the second fruit fair was superior to the
first feeble effort. This parade will be
a mile long and each float with all the
gorgeously attired attendants, and beau
tiful horses. will take block OF space IN
the procession.
The other respect in which this fair
will far surpass that OF last year VIII be
in the entertainment which Manager
Bolster is planning to give the people who
attend the show. There will be nothing
dry about it and there will be few OPP
portunities for any one to say he is tired
of seeing the same thing repeated. The
pictures of war and navy scenes that Will
be thrown upon the canvas, and which
will move before the audience in wonder
full reality, will be something grand
Last year at the fair there were about
20 different views. This year there will
be collection of 75 The fruit fair has
secured contract with the American
War Film Company for their very best
pictures and for the latest which they
turn out from their machines up to and
during the time of the fair. Other cit
les on the coast which have since tried
to get this company's pictures, which
are the best in the world, have been I'M
able to do so and Spokane will be the
only place on the coast where they will
be seen this year.
This is only one of the many features
of entertainment which are being planned
this year.

Rinfs In HnInan IsIand.

New York, Aug. ga special dispatch
from Hong Kong says;
A serious instruction has broken out
at Nadao in the interior of Hainan isl
and. The American missionaries and ma
tive converts have sought refuge in safe
territory. On August Ia the rebels fought
the soldiers, who used the American Pres
byterian property as defenses and repealed
the attack.
Nadao is 80 miles from Hoisow, one of
the richest valleys in the island. Unless
the revolt is speedily suppressed the in
surgents will be probably reinforced by
refugees from Kwang 81, where the Of
ficials are coping with the recent rebel
lion. Should it not be suppressed there
is an opportunity for French interior
ence.
The French are using vigorous measures
to protect the native Christians near
Kwang Chow Wan, and are extending
their influence in southern China, which
at present is very disturbed.

GRASS EXPERIMENT STATION
~ PIT ONE AT wALLA WALLA.
r,, AgrOstoIOEist of the AgricuI-
.uroI Department VIII Recon-
,,,end 1t for the BENEFIT of stock
Rufsers.

Washington, Aug. 3l.-Prof. Lamson
Soribner. agrostologist of the agricultu-
raj department, has completed six
weeks tour of investigation on the Pa
c;6c coast and returned here.
The investigation has been looking to
the extension of grass experimental work
70 the other side of the Rocky mountains,
which has heretofore been the western
limit of this service, and also to implant-
inc of sand binding plants where sand
dunes sweep over the land and, partially
enqulfing telegraph poles and fruit trees,
cause great damage.
The result of the investigation is rec
concentration for extending the former
work and for making practical demon
STATIONS of the feasibility of sand binding
operations One grass experiment sta
lion. under direct operation of the de-
partment, is to be established, probably
near Walla Walla, Wash. At Yakima,
Wash, the Northern Pacific railroad
maintains station for grass experiments
which the road has offered to turn over
to the government.
1t is expected that the results of the
extension of the service will be the re-
storation, at least in part, OF the Pacific
coast ranges to their former condition.
Drifting sands along the rivers and coast
are especially watched and people inter
ested will be shown by practical demon
stration how to prevent sands blowing
over the country. At one point there
was a fence Is feet high to keep sands
off the railroad tracks and telegraph
poles, and the work is much needed in
Oregon and Washington.
Scribner will recommend planting of
seaside grass, wild species of hedge
and beach grass now used at some
points, to effect this purpose.

New York, Aug. PA dispatch from

a state of anarchy exists in the country
