The Currant Fly.

Corvallis, Ore, Jan.2b. 1901 Mrs. D.
Eyerhart, Hood River, Ore. Dear Mad
am: There are two species Of insects
in the fruit OF currants and gooseberries
in this state. In one species the adult
is small yellow or orange fly with iri-
descent green eyes and black bands on
the wings. They are but slightly smaller
than the common house fly and may be
seen flying about the currant bushes in
May and June. In the other species the
adults are small, black, shining flies that
have yellow marks on the body and yell
lowsli eyes and with black bands on the
wings, They may be seen flying about
the bushes in June and July. In both
cases the flies puncture the fruit with
ovipositor and deposit an egg in each
fruit Just beneath the skin. The young
larvae, when hatched, feed upon the
pulp and also particularly upon the
seed of the fruit, until fully grown. The
infested fruit usually ripens and falls
prematurely and the worms when fully
grown leave the fruit sometimes before
and sometimes after it falls, enter the
ground for one or two inches and pupate,
where they remain during the year.
These pests are difficult to control.
The fact that the eggs are deposited
underneath the skin. OF the fruit renders
it impossible to obtain satisfactory re-
suits by spraying, and the fact for nearly
or quite Ii months of the year the in
sects are buried under the surface OF
the ground adds to the difficulty of con-
trolling them Novery satisfactory rem
edies have been suggested other than to
collect and destroy the fruit as fast as
it shows evidences of being infested,
this of course for the purpose Of
preventing the multiplication OF
the pest in future. 1t has
also been suggested that, as the insect
only enters the ground one or two inches,
they may be controlled by removing the
soil and burying it deeply; also that the
flies may be prevented from emerging in
the spring by applying heavy mulch
about the bushes. / believe good results
may be obtained by feeding your chick
ems about the bushes in the winter, that
is by scattering grain among the bushes
and allowing the chickens to scratch fol
it. In this way they will undoubtedly
find and destroy many alternating in
sects. 1t has also occurred to me that
as most flies are attracted by sweet q
scented liquids that possibly 500 ! results
might be obtained by hanging oper
dishes of sweetened water containing
paris green among the bushes during
May, June and possibly July. do moi
know that this remedy has ever beer
tried but should rather expect that
you would collect large number of the
incects before the eggs are deposited
In case you try this method should bt
pleased to have you send me everything
collected in the dishes Very truly yours

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1901.

Mrs. Nation, the saloon wrecker Of
Kansas, is still having things her own
way, She is now organizing an army,
and.rolunteers, mostly among women,
are fiocking to her standard. Saloons
are closing up in towns where she or
her adherents begin crusade. Kansas
is a prohibition state. Its laws say sa-
bookkeeping is unlawful For this reas-
on the law has failed SO far to punish
Mrs. Nation for the work she has done
In wrecking saloons. Her work may
result in the repeal OF the prohibitory
law or its enforcement.

In "Random Thoughts on the Apple, !"
at the fruit growers meeting in Portland,
Hon. L. L. Smith pointed out that too
many varieties are grown. He ventures
guess that the orchards Of the state
would have an increased value of 20 per
cent if they contained no more than
half dozen varieties.

 The Machinery and Transportation faat,lrsss of the Pan-American EXposi- ton promise to be of superior interest. The inventive Yankee has for hun dred years been particularly active in producing machinery. Every year adds new laurels to his well decorated brow, and he can but marvel at his own prog ress. In recent years he has been par ticularly active in producing automatic machinery. It is said that with the first steam engines it was necessary to have a boy work the eccentrics. One day a particularly bright boy who pre- ferred play to work threw himself out of job by fixing the eccentrics to work automatically. American invent i've genius has been building more and more of class of machines that will feed themselves and perform their in- tricate work without other attention than starting and stepping.

LENA WAS GRATEFUL
A True Story That Has Few Equals
 Even in Fiction.
When She Was n Child Boston Spid- ron Saved Her Life; Many Years Later She Secured His Re-
 lease from a Vile Prison.

From Texas comes a story of wom- an's gratitude and devotion to a man that has few equals even in fiction.
 The story has been made public by the granting of a pardon to an Ameri- can, Boston SpiGron, who was sen fenced to long term for being in a fight between some cowboys and Mexi- cans.
 The pardon was granted through the determination and unceasing devotion of young woman. Miss Lena Trent.
 Fifteen years ago, Miss Trent, a four year-old orphan, was making a trip across the prairies of Texas with an old rancher, who was caring for her.
 They were in the regulation prairie schooner and were nearing the end of their journey when Boston Spidron and a man of most evil appearance met th em and asked for ride in the wagon as far as the woodlands
 They had not gone far when the bay ing of pack of 10 2d wolves told them that their lives were in danger. The old rancher Spurrsd the horses to their utmost speed, but the wolves were soon upon them and Spidron, with a stand. ard that he had Wrenched from the wagon, was engaged in a fierce fight with the blood thirsty animals.
 Spidron shouted to the stranger. tell ing him te get a standard and help to beat off the wolves. The man muttered some uninteligihle words and then threw his cap back into the trail. ''Ef ye could. kill von de sdder eat him. he said, i've must throw him some etin gs."
 Sptdren was preparing, to strike at the foremost of the pa elk when a sudden jolt of the wagon threw him to his knees. He thought the stranger had jostled against him with unnecessary energy, and as he rose to his feet curious look in the mans eyes caused .hideops suspicion to flash across his mind.
 Had the monster attempted to push him out under the fangs and claws of the furious pack?
 He turned upon the stranger and re- buked him for his cowardice.
 Though the mans face was white and his knees were trembling with weak mass caused by fear. he cast threaten

has been faithful to the gratitude she owes Spidron for saving her from the wolves at the risk of his own life.
 When, about six months ago, she heard that Spidron had been sentenced to long term in a Mexican prison, she determined to secure his pardon.
 All alone, and against the advice of her friends, she journeyed to the capi- tai, securing signatures by the hun- dred to her petition. Then. after over- coming insurmountable obstacles. she secured an audience with President Diaz and told him her story.
 The old soldier heard her without comment and when she had finished he said:
