A FOE TO THE FRUIT PEST
State-lookins over Lewiston Valleys
Pleased with the Work Done.

| A. Mcpherson, state fruit inspector, is
i'll the city this week and with District
Inspector Willism Mohl, is looking over
the work done this spring in Lewiston
valley in spraying for fruit pests
especially the San Jose scale. Inspector
Mcpherson is we'll impressed with the
work done in general under the super
vision of Deputy Mohl, and thinks that
in the last two seasons the scale has re-
| ceived decided check here.
Inspector Mcpherson and Professor
Aldrich of the Idaho University went
yesterday to the orchard Of S, G. Isaman
east Of the city where this season some
experiments were made to test a new
spray mixture recommended by Professor
Piper of the Washington Agricultural
College. The standard formula in this
section has been lime, sulphur and salt,
but Professor Piper's mixture left out the
salt and diluted the lime and sulphur.
The examination made yesterday at Mr..
lsaman's place does not show favorably
for the new compound. Inspector Nc
-Pherson thinks that hardly ten per cent
of the scale were destroyed by the Piper
substitute. The old spray is calculated
to destray 90 per cent of the scale.
Spraying for the Goblin moth is
another feature of the perpetual fight
against pests the fruit men of Idaho are
making. In this field eternal vigilance
is the price of success. From expert
ments made here last year it is known
that there are three broods of the Goblin
moth hatched in this valley. From ex-
periments made at Mr.. Isaman's place
last season it is determined that the first
brood takes about ten percent of the ap-
pies and the second brood about so per
cent of what is left and the third brood
fully 90 per cent of the remainder But
with vigilant effort by making about four
successive sprayings the orchardists can
save 90 per cent of the apples. Mr.
demonstrated this last season in
his experiments in the Boise valley.
Mr.. Mcpherson is also chief inspector
under the provisions of the pure food
law and will hold several meetings here
with the grocers and others talking over
the provisions of the new law. He
speaks of the false impressions that have
gone out concerning the clause relating
to the test of Illuminating oils. The re-
applies only to Illuminating oils
and not to crude oils used for fuel and
for other purposes. All illuminating oils
must be of $50 test under the law and
this will cut out only one grade now sold
in the slate. That grade of petroleum
known as Pearl Oil is nlv i4o test and

MORE ABOUT WAHA DEAL
Upper Works to be Completed Before Snow
Flies - Electric Road and Street Railway
Project

PfOleCt
Hon. Lafe Pence of the Lewiston. Waha
company, now in Boise, gave to the
Evening Capital News some additional
items of interest regarding the big irriga-
tion scheme which his company has in
contemplation here. He says:
Lake Waha is now So acres surface
area with a maximum depth of 90 feet
1t is on the foot of the mountains and on
the lower side there is a natural dam II2
feet above the present water level Some
think the lake site is an old crater. The
government experts take the view that
the natural dam is caused by a landslide
from the adjacent mountains, Any way
the natural reservoir site is there and we
propose to fill it from those streams TO a
level of I25 feet above the present lake
level. We will drain the water off from
the reservoir by tunnel 2oG5 feet long
which will tap the lake IS feet below the
present water level or 2Io feet below the
top level of the reservoir W zen filed.
''The surface area OF the lake when
filled will be more than ago acres and the
capacity will be about $4,000 acres. From
estimates made we expect from the rtgu-
lar flow of the streams and from his res
eivoir to be able to irrigate 10000 or
more acres on the first bench above Lew
iston, being practically all of the land
lying between Clearwater river and Tam
many hill. The permit under the new
law of Idaho based upon thorough and
careful surveys, was granted by State En-
gineer Darlington on April 2o. Since
that time we have concluded the nego.
tiations for the purchase Of all other
water rights in that shed and Senator
Dubois left Lewiston on Wednesday of
this week to join Mr.. Trainer and the
other investors interested TO perfect the
Of the company and make

the upper ditch lines as soon as the frost
is out of the ground.
ave expect to finish all the upper
work before the fall snow falls and COM
plete the tunnels and supply canals be-
low sufficient 10 irrigate several thousand
acres during the spring and summer of
1904.
"Our primary purpose is to reclaim
and irrigate the lands mentioned. Be-
low the mouth of the tunnel which will
make the outlet from the reservoir, we
have fail OF several hundred feet where
we can use the water for power and then
turn the water into the supply canal be-
low. We intend to put IN an electric
road syste nj covering the irrigated lands
so as to handle the fruits and crops raised
on the band and got them into the North

SEATTLE VS.. Lewiston.

Inivt r>ity of Washington 10, Lewiston
Normal al lhe end of the ninth innings
Was the result OF the ball game yesterday
"a decidedly unsatisfactory ending for a
Lewiston crowd. The score can hardly
be sad to fairly represen the game. In
the matter Of batting the Washington's s
were far and away the better team, while
in helding the Normals had much the
better of the argument For the first
seven innings, the game was all Lewis
toms and then two or three errors in the
field, induced Kester, the Normal pitcher
to believe that life wasn't worth living
anyhow and the Washingtons were per.
mitted to make three runs after the side
should have been out. In the eighth
Kester revived the hopes of the Lewis
ton rooters by allowing but one hit, and
that a scratch, but it was in the ninth
that the fireworks display was given.
Kester tried to throw them over the plate
and when he did the batters would line
them out. When he didn't man was
given base on balls or by reason Of be-
ing hit and by the time the agony was
over the Washingtons had scored six
runs, and were five in the lead This
was too much to overcome, and although
the Normals showed evidence OF revived
activity, their half of the ninth only net
ted them two runs.

LEWISTON WINS TO-DAY.
A score of 10 to q tells the story of the
game today, it was the best game ever
PLAYED on the Lewiston diamond. The
first four innings Thompson occupied the
box for Lew stou aud by taking bases on
ball Seattle succeed in running in 4
scores. In the last half Of the fourth
Brown took the box, Brearly went to left
field and Edwards took 3rd base. From
that time on Seattle met woeful fate.
The grand stand hit was the ball over the
fence by Grostern and home run in the
second. The Lewiston boys made runs

of minor and sectional interest, that
tach the counties of Oneida and Villas
from the 10th judicial circuit and at
tach them to the 10th. Senator Hud-
nall stated his reasons for opposing
the change, saying that the PROPOSE
ton was one to give the 10th circuit
| 104 900 population and leave the 10th
with $4,000. The vote was close, de-
feating the bill by IA to Is. The Bar
ker bill cutting off the fees of the
state insurance commissioner in con-
nection with the examination OF the
policies of life insurance companies
came back to the assembly from the
insurance committee with an amend
ment which deferred the application
of the act for two years or till after
the expiration of Mr.. Hosts term.
Mr.. Barker attacked the change as
needlessly postponing what he term
ed a wrong. In the last eight years,
he said $3S,41S in fees had been paid
to and retained by the insurance COM
missioners, the amount last year
alone reaching $6,206. This ought
all to go into the state treasury, he~
thought, and Mr.. Fricke had so urged
in his reports. The fees Of $4,000 last
year, all came from the Northwest
ern Mutual of Milwaukee. Mr.. Os-
born expressed the fear that. unless
the fee matter was settled right, it
would vex the republican party as did
the treasury matter a few years ago.
He was in favor of threshing the
straw out well. The bill, on motion
of Mr.. Baker, was referred to the
judiciary committee The assembly
passed the Dahl bill for a $4,000 ap-
preparation to finish and equip dormi-
tories, administration and other build
ings at the Chippewa Falls home for
the feeble minded. The home is now
accommodating over 500 patients and
there are 400 more in the state
needing care. When the buildings
already up are finished and equipped
some $50 more can be accommodated
Other assembly bills were passed re-
quiring toilet rooms on interurban
cars where the cities or villages ar
more than Is miles apart; giving all
high schools the use of Camp Randall
and other like state property free for
athletic contests; authorizing counties
to pay rattlesnake bounties; and
the law permitting cities

SENATOR GALLINGER coUNsELs
AGAINST TARIFF REVISION.
AT BIG MICHIGAN BANQUET
Declares Democratic Cry and Idea il
Followed Would Lead to Inevitable
Economic Ruin-Senator Thurs
ton and Congressman Smith Also
Speak.

Detroit, Mich, March THE ban
Quet of the Michigan Republican cluD
last night was the most brilliant in
I the clubs history. Four hundred
guests listened to speeches by Senator
Gallinger of New Hampshire, Gen.
Leonard Wood and former Senator
Thurston of Nebraska. Congressman
William Alden Smith was POSTMASTER
and among the prominent guests were
Senators Alger and Burrows. A let
ter of regret was read from President
Roosevelt
Senator Gallsnger responded to the
toast Patriotism and Protection. In
the course Of his speech Gallinger
compared the present conditions with
those of 1902 as illustrative of the
benefits of protective tariff "a dem
ocratic cry is going up for a revision
of the tariff" he said, land ever and
anon we hear a faint voice of the
Iowa idea borne in on the breeze,
Both voices are those of political 81
rens, to. follow which would lead to
inevitable economic ruin
He did not favor reciprocity with
Canada, incisting that this country
should stand by its present policy un-
til the republican party decides the
time is ripe for revision of the tariff.
General Wood was given an ovation
when he arose to respond to The
United States in the West Indies. His
speech was a review of the work &C.
complished during the American occu-
pancy of Cuba. Senator Thurston's
topic was Our New Possessions. He
approved of the acquisition of terri
tory and the course of the administra-
ton in the Philippines.

The EyeIids in the Gore Case.

The cable reported the death Of
Ellen Gore in Paris from a bullet
wound in the eye, and the arrest of
the man who was alone with her at.
the time. The man has since been
released on the sole ground that the
lids and lashes of the eye penetrated
by the bullet were intact. The,
medical experts Socquet and Brouar-
del, testified that there was every
probability that the injury was due
to. an accident, as the victim of an
attempt to murder would naturally
close the eyelids, or at least they
would f1utter more or less. The fact
that they were intact in this case,
they said, indicated that the victim
was tranquil at the moment the ball
struck her.

CHAPTER Xxx.

CHAPTER Xxx.
The morning passed uneventfully; ;
/ but Frank began his afternoon round
| in state of strong excitement and
expectancy 1t was cold, raw day,
sunless and dreary, with banks of dull
cloud hanging over the hill-tops, and a
rainy mist travelling towards the lake.
DR.. Peele had sent word to Frank to
visit his patients first and then to take
the note to The Crags and wait for
Lady Kildonans answer. 1t was hard
that day for the young man to keep
his thoughts fixed on the maladies of
his respective patients even while in
their presence; and when he was stand
ing by the bedside of Mr.. Sanderson,
who lived in a small house net two
hundred yards from Ned Crosmont's
residence, he could not keep his at
tention to the lumbago which was the
subject in hand for thought of the
more interesting case few steps
away.
On coming out of the villa, however,
he was surprised to find the buxom
Nanny waiting for him, with a face
full of mystery and Importance. 1t
was now past four o'clock, and the
mists were thickening towards even
ing.
ooh, if you please, sir" she began,
as soon as he came up to where she
stood, giving a piece of sugar to the
doctors cob, 1--WE saw your horse wait
ing here, and masters sent me to ask
if you'd be good enough to step over?"
Mr.. Crosmont sent for me?" said
Armathwaite.
Yes, sir, master himself; he's just
come back from Liverpool. It's about
my mistress, sir; he's getting down
right frightened, and well he may, for
she's just like the dead today, and she
just lies there and signs sometimes,
but not as If she was awake at ALL"
They were walking along the road
towards the large house, Armathwaite
with his horses bride over his arm
At the gate Crosmont himself met
them. looking haggard, worn, and
anxious.
"Oh, | say" he began, in his usual
abrupt, sullen manner 81 wanted to
speak to you a moment. Where were
you going?"
ITO The Crags: l have a letter to
give Lady Kildonan from DR.. Peele."
From DIR. Peele!" Crosmont ap-
peared half-anxious, half-relieved
OH" He looked down on the ground
and twisted his moustache well,

well. and then, if you will, just call
here on your way back. Can you do
that?"

Armathwaite had no thought of
bearing malice for the agents i'll
furious speeches at their last meeting;
but Crosmont seemed to feel that some
word of cancellation might be desirable.
