The cutworm pest has made its APP
pearance in various parts OF this coun-
ty aud has already done an immense
amount of damage to garden and field
crops and orchards. Potatoes, iIlangeis,
carrots, rutabagas and other root crops
have suffered greatly. Much clover
aud some grain have beer devoured t,y
the gluttoMOus crawlers and now they
are attacking orchards aud stripping
them Of their fruit and foliage. Else
where IN this issue will he found an
article about the remarkable outbreak
Of the pest furnished in the form of an
interview with the entOlnOlOgist OF the
agricultural experiment station at
Pullman. Orchardists whose trees have
not yet been attacked can protect them
in large measure bv tieing strips OF
cotton batting, or wool, about the
trunks or the trees, taking care to
make it .fuzzy" at the bottom aud
tight enough where tied 80 the worms

There came very near being drown
ing at Roche Harb0r Sunday. It APP
pears that Eric Erickson was there
with his firewater sl0op and that q
couple of the lime cOmpany's new
employees went out in small boat aud
undertook to carry too much of the
cargo ashore In their gastr0nomical
corporosities. They quarreled on the
way and capsized the bnat and had not
sober men heard their cries and gone to
their relief they might never have
reached shore alive. And It 10 reported
that during the night another man,
who was in the big lime company's
employ for many years, but Is not now,
fell overheard from EricksOn's slO0p
aud was pulled out by Erickson, who
evidently is not DESTROYS at seeing any
one drown In salt water, however
willing he might he to assist one to
drown himself in liquor. II Is out
rageous that the sale OF liquor In such
a manner should be licensed or toll
Grated by law. Public sentiment ought
to be strong enough to prevent 1t II the
law doesn't.
