NEW SETTLERS
ARE LOCATING

LEWISTON. Idaho. May ib.--The
railroad business IN progress. to-
Eeshsr with the routes being sur
yeyed. is bringing about great
change IN the map Of Idaho. The
Clearwater line Of the Northern Pa
eihc has caused a general rush from
home seekers for the land on the r..
servation and sections that were
considered too isolated for settlement
one year aEo are now being taken
Up eagerly. Trading points are
aDfinginR Up wherever the condi-
lions are favorable until the trading
advantages are equal to thoss Of
countries much older. Especially at
this lime the Land ia the vicinity Of
Kamlah Is being taken NJ rapidly.
This - due 10 the building Of the
Clearwater line, which inHures them
transportation facilities. This sec
ton has proven a Mecca for those
coming from the east since last fall.
and by their thrift and industry are
making some fins homes The cat

WAR ON THE CANE BORER
PROF. KOEBELE STUDYING THE
MEANS OF EXTIRPATION.
Suggests a Practical Means of Present
Relief From the. Pest-Is Seeking an
Insect Antidote.

Professor Koebele is going to Lihue
to make further study of the cane Dor
err. He is seeking to find some insect
or fungus pest as an antidote to the
borer, such as he has found for the
japanese BEETLE. To that end he is now
engaged in an exhaustive entomology
cal study of the borer In his labora-
tory he is Matching out a large number
of the borers so as to be able to study
them in every stage of their existence.
But while his effort is to discover
some natural enemy of the borer that
can be used for it's destruction, he is
satisfied that a practicable means of
relief from it's ravages is to be found
in the. systematic collection and de-
struction of the borers themselves.
This is done by taking stalks of cane,
those which have been ruined by the
borer, are as good as any, splitting
them in two and laying them on the
ground, the split side down. The Dor
ers are attracted to these by the ease
with which they can get at the saccha.
rine matter in them, and are then cas-.
lily collected and destroyed. This meth.
cd, he is convinced. if systematic ally
carried out would reduce the borers L
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-04-05

an extent that would practically elln-
mate them as a pest or factor i'm SUI
gar growing.
The borer has not made ravages on
this Island to anything like the extent
it has on the other Islands, and Pro-
fessor Koebele is inclined to give the
traduced mongoose credit for 1t. This
is just a hypothesis as yet, which the
professor has not fully satisfied Inn
self of, but is investigating. But even
if he should be convinced of it as a
fact, he will not recommend the mon
goose as an antidote TO insect pests.
He is satisfied that the best means is
to play off one insect pest against ar
other. Birds or animals which destroy
insect pests always prove destructive
of something else that is not desirable
to destroy.
Professor Koebele left by the w. Ct.
Hall yesterday to continue his investi-
cations.
