There are several methods used by
the natives for catching graSshoppers.
The most effective is the net. This is
a large butterfly net, arranged with
netting placed over IA loop and To the
latter is fixed a long handle. The ma

Then we have the paddle method,
which consists in using a long stick,
To the end of which is fixed a piece
of Hat wood about ten inches in diam
cter. If the grasshoppers pass over
ones own property this method is used,
for then all the ErasshOppcrs killed by
swinging this instrument through the
clouds of grasshoppers as they pass
over are dropped to the ground and
can be picked up at leisure. Another
method consists in exploding cart

THE HORSE MEAT CANNBRY.
Demand for the Product Causes Factory
to Start Again.

The horse absttoir at Linnton,
which was shut down last fall, was
started up a short time ago, saws the
Oregonian. As conditions are more
favorable now for its successful opera
tion, it is likely TO be kept running
indefinitely. So many cayuse ponies
were left in the country when the
abattoir shut down that stockmen
whose ranges were being eaten over
by them were very anxious To have it
resume business. As there is a better
demand than ever for Oregon horse
meat, it was decided to reCommence
the slaughtering of horses. The winter
has been so mild on the ranges that
the cayuses are IN very good condition
About 500 have 0een sent in from the
ranges and disposed of. The cold and
stormy weather during March had
tendency to make the ponies thin, and
no more will be shipped for the
present. The absttoir will be closed
in day or two, and will remain
closed until abclt the middle of Nav,
by which ti:.;a the ponies will have be-
come in good condition on the new
grass. 1t is probable that 1000
causes will be slaughtered this wear.
1t is estimated that there are from
100000 to l,0O0,O00 cayuse ponies
ranging over country tributary to this
market. As stockmen are very anx-
ious that these horses should hc driven
away to preserve the ranges to cattle
and sheep, and as Oregon horse meat
has found favor in Sweden and Nor
way, on account of the fact that it is
the only horse meat produced under
the same conditions that cattle and
She > are raised for food, it is proha-
Bile that the Linnton abattoir, which
so far has not proved remunerative,
may be kept running for some time.

PORTER TALKS TRUSTS.
Tells About English Combines and Their
Extent.

j New York, April l3.-Robert J
Porter, who arrived from London or
the Deutchsland, speaking of the Eng.
lish trade prospects, said
''The principal industrial talk in
England during my present visit CEN
tered around the great steel combina.
tion which has appalled, the British
manufacturers. However, John Bull
will endeavor to keep up with the
keener competition. The comment has
taken the course that such trusts are
only possible with high tariff, a
somewhat amusing conclusion when
one considers how honeycombed free
trade Eng land is with combinations of
capital as formidable and strong in
controlling trade as any in the United
States.
ITO begin with the entire railway
industry OF the United Kingdom is one
gigantic combination, ali rates being
the same, and the center OF fiscal
management is the clearing house.
Then, in banking, nearly all the
smaller banks have been swallowed up
bv the big ones, Lloyds alone having
taken in over 40, while Paris and
Barclays list is as numerous, and so in
the shipping business. Industrial
amalgamation is the order of the day.
The price Of coal is also arranged by a
trust. Turning from these basic in
struments of commerce to industrial
trusts, We find about $500, 900, 600 of
capital concentrated in some recently
formed trusts, while the older com
binations represent literally billions OF
dollars. Yes, in England you will
find in all lines of industrial enter
prise the very same trusts as in the
United States. Consul Mason Of Berlin
showed the same of Germany.
of effort and economy of
production is the tendency of the
times, for it is only by such methods |
hat the rival nations can keep up the |

and Gave Many Particulars
Of the Affair."

Frankfort, KY, April l3.-Wharton
Golden was star witness today in the
closing hours of the prosecutions side
in the case against Garnett Ripley,
charged with completely in the Goebel
murder. Golden came from Colorado

asked if he and his men would stand
by them. Golden said they would. On
January 20, witness and Caleb Powers
took a walk to the cemetery. Powers
said Goebel would have to be killed,
and that Taylor would pardon the
assassin. Powers said that the noun
tain army would have to be here when
ii was done. Golden saw Ripley in
djutant-General Golfers office Just
prior TO the assassination. COOLER
told Ripley that be could furnish guns
for the Pleasureville company, and
Ripley said that he would buy them
Winchesters, il they could not do
better.

fed that no application was made 10
the county for the formation Of
Ripley's company, and that it was
in contrary to law.
The prosecution then closed.

the defense for preemptory instructions
to the jury, and Attorney O'Neill made
the opening statement for that side
