CARP ARE DEVASTATING
RICH PASTURE LAND
Fish Are Eating Grass Along Columbia
Slough in Oreeon-killing
Them With Clubs
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PORTLAND, Ore, June 1S.-Carp are
browsing off all the best pasture land
that the fish are in greater schools this
year than usual. When the water from
the Columbia reaches a sufficient height
and mandates the lowlands the farmers
fear that the ravenOus carp will destroy
the grass to such an extent that there
will be poor picking for the stock dur
ing the remaining summer months.
The fish approach as near to the shore
as possible and crop the grass off close
to the ground. 1t is stated that sheep
could not do a better job. Wherever
the carp go not a spear of vegetation
is left.
So numerous have they become and
so thorough has been their devastation
that the farmers along the slough have
decided to wage a war of determination
against them. Frank Merrill of Merrill
reports that men and small boys sue
ceeded in killing many fish with clubs.
So greedy are the carp to get a taste
of the grass that they venture in great
schools near shore and shove and fight
to get the food. When a school is
punched in this manner it is easy to
dispatch the fish with a club
A full grown carp will tip the scales
at about twenty-five pounds. While
they are not relished as a food product,
the Chinese pay six or seven cents a
pound for them.

Between thirty and fifty Japanese la
borers are enjoying life in a four-room
cottage, tent and a shed IL by 30 feet
in size on the premises OF the Cahuenga
Valley Exchange association in Holly
wood, and the statement that they are
enjoying life is not a wild one because
the Japs are the most contented bunch
Of persons one would ever find in a

These Japs have been substituted by

A SUMMER RERoINE

Sweet Belinda had a shirt waist.
Twas a peek-a-boo,
There We're filagrees and posies
Where the sun shone through,
Sweet Belinda's fair complexion
Very soon began
'TwiXt the threads to be invaded
BY a coat of tan.
Sweet Belinda's father labored
Patiently IN town.
His expense account kept climbing;
Bank account went down.
Life so gay, one mournful morning
Ceased to be a joke.
Telegram (collecD advised her
Come home. Fathers broke"
But she was a girl of mettle.
Did she pine away?
Not minute. She is paying
All the bills today.
TO behold those sunburnt tracings
Crowds In wonder come.
She's the famous tattooed lady
AT the the mus-e-um.

association, their expenses are very
slight and they save the biggest por-
tion Of their wages
A Japanese cook is employed to pre-.
pare their meals, which are served en-
masse in the specially provided dining
room, and it is said that the cooking
utensils used by this woman are in ac-
cordance with the styles of Japan, and
all meals are prepared accordingly.

and the saving in wages so great that
there is a possibility of further enlarg-
ing the number of Jap laborers in the
near future.
In addition to the saving in wages
the Japs are quiet and peaceable, per-
form their tasks cheerfully and prompt
ly and give no trouble to their employ
ers whatever. They eschew the pleas
ures of drink and are reliable in all
respects.
They are industrious and economical

Unhappy Women !

No women can be happy when her

have good health while she suffers from

ton or any disease Of the delicate wom-
anly organs. Nervous. sleepless, fretful,
suffering I'm body and mind, she does not
live but only exists.
More than a half million such women
have found perfect and permanent cure
for their diseased condition In the use OF
Doctor Plerce's Favorite Prescription.
Women cured by this remedy say It is
a wonderful medicine" so perfectly
does IL restore them to health and come
liness.
There is no alcohol in "Favorlte Pre-

cocaine nor any other harmful drug. It
Is In the strictest sense, an honest, tenn
perance medicine. Its ingredients are
purely vegetable, and IL will agree with
the most delicate constitution.
elS5o Don't be hypnotized, or over per-
VIZ suaded, into accepting a. substitute.
This medicine has record that's worth
far more than any difference in price.

in 1898, we had come to a crisis N the
management. Assessments that were
nominally monthly had increased to
seventeen year and we foresaw a
further increase. Our solution at that
time was to compute each mans as
sessment upon the basis of twenty-one
payments year and, dividing that by
twelve, reach a standard monthly pay
ment.
This was not an essential change in
the management nor solution with
permanent scientific basis. 1t operated
well for few years, and under it we
were enabled to lay aside a reserve
fund of about $2OOO,OOO. but we were
not satisfied and since 1900 we have
been steadily working toward sou-
ton which would be just to all the
members of the order and at the same
time place the order upon a permanent
basis.
Are Quits With Members
"From a business standpoint we are
quits with our members; we have pro-
vided all the protection and paid all
the claims guaranteed. If half the
members should leave the order it
would still stand absolutely secure. 1t
is now upon solid basis, a scientific
solution drawn from our own actual
mortality experience, and whatever
happens in the way of desertions cannot
affect it's standing.
'I know that Of the 10000 members
who are over 65 there are but few by
whom the change will be keenly felt,
for in the majority of cases it is not
the old members themselves who are
carrying on their insurance, but their
sons and younger relatives, who are
paying the assessments as a matter of
speculation. The order cannot afford
to allow that sort of thing to go on"

GUESTS OF RIVERSIDE
Visiting Editors Taken About to the
Points of Interest

Special to The Herald.
RIVERSIDE, June 1S.-Riverside
had the pleasure today of entertain
ing the members of the National Edi-
torial association for several hours.
The special train bearing the newspa-
per men arrived shortly after midnight
and was sidetracked at the Southern
Pacific depot. The party was enter
tanned with a trolley ride to Sherman
institute and with an auto ride. about
the city. Practically every auto iii
the city was pressed into service, and
the contrast between the desert so re-
Gently left behind and the semi-tropic
luxuriance of Riverside appealed ir-
resistably to the visitors. The special
train pulled out at noon for Los An

"Amona Those Present"

Prominent among those who make
up the company is Lawrence B. Strin-
ger of Lincoln, ILL.,, who is the repre-
sentative of the Illinois Democratic
Press association. 1t will be remem-
bered that he was the unsuccessful
candidate on the Democratic ticket for
governor in 1904 in opposition to the
present incumbent Charles Deneen. He
has recently been appointed to a posi-
ton on the state board of claims. Mrs.
Stringer accompanies her husband on
the trip.
Among others who commanded at
tention yesterday in the corridor of the
Lankershim was Col. John Dymond,
editor of the Louisiana Planter, and
the newly elected president of the as
sociation for the coming year.
Col. Dymond is a southerner of the
old school, affable, courteous and one
of the most popular of the visitors.
For years planter and largely in
terested in the sugar cane industry,
the fact that the industry had no Of
fetal paper led him to establish the
PLANTER" nearly twenty years ago.
and it is today the official organ of
the sugar growing industry throughout
the world.
1--WE were overjoyed to get into CAL
ifornia," said Col. Dymond yesterday,
mot because we have not been royalty
treated elsewhere, but because we have
heard so much about what California
has to offer and the hospitality of her
people,"
One of the men who has the capabil-
ity of being in half a dozen places at
the same time and doing a dozen
things simultaneously is w. A. Ash
brook. editor of the Johnstown, Ohio,
Independent. and national secretary of
the editorial association. His energy
has not been confined merely to news
paper making. According to his as
sociates, banking has so struck his
fancy that he is largely interested in
several banking institutions and he is
now looking for other outlets for his
activities
He realized the moment he put his
foot on the Arcade station platform
that he would be expected to say some
thing nice about Los Angeles. He has
been here before, and was therefore ex-
pectantly awaiting the usual query.
When it came, he was prompt to re-
spond in a way strong enough to con-
vince anyone that at some period of his
life he has sold Los Angeles real es-
tate.
A veteran newspaper man, gentle
man of the time before the war, and
with all the progressiveness of the new,
j. Irwin Steel, editor of the Ashland,
Pa, Telegram, and national treasurer
of the association, is one whose appear
ance was noticeable last night at the
Lankershim. How long Editor Steel
has been grinding out editorials he de-
clines to say, but claims the period is
long enough to give him a fairly good
understanding of the newspaper busi-
ness and put to shame some Of those
who now think they are old in the har-
ness.

LONDON. Aug. 6.-A strange story OF

Just been unfolded In the law courts Of

centric nobleman, charges his valet, An
tinoro Paolo, with having caused the death
OF the Countess Beniculli.
Taking advantage Of tho extraordinary
resemblance between himself and his valet,
the Count employed the valet to imper-
senate him at various social functions In
devoted his time to his hobby Of collecting
and repairing ancient looks. Paolo, pro-
vided with money and good clothes, mixed
In the best society and was everywhere
received as the Count.
Meeting the Countess Beuiculh 1t ball
the valet paid her assiduous attention.
The Countess was pleased but greatly
surprised. as her husband. for whom she
mistook Paolo. had neglected her for some
years, not living with her or seeing her.
A few days after the supposed reconodliA-
ton the Countess and Paolo droveto Rimini.
They were walking toward some caves TO
visit which was the object Of the drive
when Q peasant woman rushed UP to them
and accused Paolo OF deserving her. Ut tho
same time addressing opprobrious insults
to the Countess. The latter then discovered
that she bad been deceived. When she saw
the would-be Count kneelinS In tho street
at the feet OF his wife she asked the
woman's pardon and returned to Rome
alone on foot
The Same night she vas found dead IN
her mansion, poisoned by an overdose Of

letter stating that she had believed Paolo
to be her husband and the thought Of what
che had done had driven her to suicide.

records Of q noble ancestry. The trial OF
Paolo has been adjourned pending an
