the High school building, have not
been killed, of by the recent fumi'
CATION. and great many people are
complaining because the school is not
dismiss until something effective il
done to extsrminate the pests.
1t does not appear to be certain
what these" bugs" are. Prof. Leib
says that some of them are bed-tugs,
but it is claimed in other quarters
that many of them are the regular old
"army lice" Some Of the people
whose children attend the school are
beginning to complain, claiming that
the fact that the pupils are kept in
the rooms under the circumstances IL
enough to cause the bugs to be carried
to scores of homes. If not spread ali
over the city. Some claim that theiI
children have Inadvertently brought
the pests homs already, and that the
school ought to be closed.
Supt. Lieb denied today that any
of the bugs were army lice, but ad'
mitted that there were some bugs in
the rooms he had been unable to
"analyse."

WORLDS
FAIR
COINS

Washington, Aug 29.-The treasury
department today addressed a letter
to the officials of the Lewis and Clark
exhibition. notifying them that the
Philadelphia mint will be ready to de
liver 25.OOO Lewis and Clark souvenir
gold dollars early in September, and
requesting them to pay into the treas
ury the par value of these coins, ac.
cording to the terms of the Lewis and
Clark exposition law. AS soon as pos
sible after this money is paid over to
the government, the Philadelphia mint
will be instructed to ship souvenir
dollars to Portland. Already the mint
has been authorized to proceed with
the coinage of these gold dollars us
ing what Oregon gold is on hand, and
making up the deficiency from stock.
While the mint officials have no au.
thority in fixing the price at which the
Lewis and Clark souvenir dollars shall
be sold, they deem 81 a reasonable
and proper figure. They have OBJ
served that the St. Louis souvenir
dollars, which are being sold at SO |
apiece, are already nearly all sold
by selling the Lewis and Clark dol
ars at a premium of 81, the mint of
icials believe Portland people will
dispose of more coins than if they
lold them at higher figure, and will
be able to realize fully $780,.
100 by this means, which is contem-
'lated by law However, if the expo.
tion authorities prefer to fix some
ther price, the treasury officials in.
erpose no objections.

Enjoy Using Herpicide on Account OF
Its stInctiveness.

The ladies' who have used Newbro's
Herpicide speak of II in the highest
terms, for its quick effect in cleansing
the scalp OF dandruff and also for its ex-
cellence as a general hair-dressing. It
makes the scalp feel fresh and it allays
that itching which dandruff will cause.
Newbro's Herplcide effectively cures
dandruff. as 1t destroys the germ that
causes 1t. The same germ causes hair to
fall out, and later badness; in killing It,
Herpicide stops falling hair and prevents
badness. 1t is also an ideal hair dress
ing, for 1t lends an aristocratic charm to
the hair that is quite distinctive. Sold

meath the trees"--E L. Smith, at
Farmers Congress, Salem, 1902.
The following note written in reply
to a question asked Mr.. Minto in Feb
ruary 1909, throws an interesting
ray of light upon the early orchards
OF Oregon:
Salem, Oregon, February IA. 1902.
81 should judge from my knOwl-
edge of the French Canadian settlers,
that Joseph Gervais, who settled at
Chemayway, was the first planter Of
apple trees in the Willamette valley.
He was the natural leader of his
class. and in 1S45 his orchard of ap-
pie trees looked to be twelve or fif
teen years old at least. The Montieth
brothers, Walter and Thomas, got
water sprouts from Gervais' orchard
which were the first planted at Al
bany, Linn county. Mr.. Gervais used
to seem proud to bring apples to
Salem for sale at SO per bushel in
1S49. never saw nor heard of an.
other French Canadian who had ap-
pie trees as old as his appeared nor
that ever had apples to sell. Geryias
came to Oregon with Mr.. Hunt AS

en-, and a spurious yellow Newton
I Pippen. since called Green Newtowr
Pippen and generally considered
worthless. Some few other varieties
were probably introduced at the
same time but Of these there is no
certain record.
In 1850 Mr.. Luelling returned to
he east and selected at the nursery
of A. J. Downing. among other trees
some Yellow Newtown PippiIs,
which were dug under the personal
supervision of Mr.. Downing. These
trees were brought across the 18TH
mus. On fruiting these proved to be
nothing more than the sO-called
Green Newtown Pippin of the first
introduction and the real Yellow
Newtown Pippin as we have it now
was not introduced until some years
later
The first box of apples offered for
sale in Portland by Mr.. Luelling was
eagerly purchased at one dollar
apiece, netting him seventy-fve dol
lars. Following this prices ranged
from one dollar per pound to twenty
FIVE dollars per box and retailed at
as high as one and one half dollars |
per pound, and in one instance two
dollars and fifty cents was paid for
one apple
In 1853 the surplus, few boxes
securely bound with strap iron were
shipped to San Francisco and sold
for two dollars per pound.
In 1854 the surplus amounted to
five hundred bushels and was sold at
a net price of one and one half dollars
to two dollars per pound.
In 1855 six thousand bushels were
shipped returning a net price of
twenty dollars to thirty dollars per
bushel
I'm 1856 shipments amounted to
twenty thousand boxes This year
one box of Esopus Spitzenberg sold
In Portland for one hundred and two
dollars.
From this time until 1869 the
shipments during the fall and winter
months varied from six to twelve
thousand boxes per month From 4,
1870 shipments to California declined
