BEW ARE OF THE NEW BUG!
THE DREADED ALDER. AND WILL
;, Low BORER HAS NOW INVADED
THIS STATE. .-.,.... I'd.

F. L. Washburn, state entomologist,
has discovered in shipment Of Caro-
lima poplars from New York state the
beetle known as the alder and willow
borer
1.-THE case has become so serious, -
said Mr.. Washburn this morning, 'that
| have notified all the nurserymen who
soon apply for state certificates, that
hereafter no certificate will be issued
to any nursery upon whose trees this
beetle is found.'
! The pest is a snout beetle, whose
scientific name is Cryptorhyncus lapa-
| th1, Linn, and it came to this country
some time previous to 1895. Up to- that
year it was not known outside of New
York state. In 1896 it was found in
| Massachusetts, and few years later
caused immense damage there to the
balm of Gilead poplar. The business of
the nurserymen was seriously threat
ened, and they sent out warnings to the
precautions it has gained foothold
and will require heroic efforts to stamp
| it, out.
When the trees are young they are
easily killed by the pest, but when only
a branch is affected it can be cut off
IN June and the young worm burned in
side Of the wood. Whitewash and paris
the branches in the early morning,
causing the beetles to drop on a sheet
| below is also recommended.
The beetle is easily recognized, being
| about half -an-inch long, with a long
snout. It is also marked with a con-
Of the back and some whitish streaks on
it's sides. The eoo is laid under the
bark, and after Matching the larva
bores into the solid wood.

middle classes-the working people. !
''On the death of Gladstone there was
strong movement-eventuall unsuc-

Dr. Gibbons returned to Rampant last Sunday evening, after a 51a months trip extending to Massachusetts and Vermont, and including months eX- perience in the Bellvue hospital in New York, a week at the St. Louis fair and many visits with old friends scattered across the continent. He came from Whitehorse in a scow in 16 days and 2l hours, generally tying up to sleep. MT. and Mrs. W. A. McKenney and MT. w. R. Goldensmith. of Douglas, came with him, bringing their household goods aud a years stock of supplies. They will all remain in Rampant. While in- side the Arctic Circle June p to 24 they saw the sun constantly for Fl hours, a somewhat uncommon expert ence. pr. Gibbons says:
 Throughout my entire trip, crossing 21 states, people were always glad to listen to accounts of Alaska, but any thing like an especial interest.was con- spicuously absent. The chief sentiment regarding this region was that of won der that any one should try to live in so isolated place and an incredulity that it could ever become of any lasting value now that the seals, salmon and gold mines are nearly exhausted In Manchester, Vermont, an editor who attended a lecture 1 delivered there devoted considerable space in his next issue to explaining that 1 was wrong in supposing the government of the United States was not doing all in it's power to promote the welfare of Alaska. The idea that useful vegetables could be raised here was so improbable to their minds that 1 almost began to think the recollections of gardens and berryfelds in the north must be merely dream. A general season of prosperity seems to prevail across the entire country. The St. Louis fair is greater, grander, and more wonderful than the worlds fairs of Chicago and Philadelphia com bined." d."-Alaska Forum.
