Track Walker Injured.

A German named John Bunnen-
kopf. 35 years old. employed as night
track walker on the o. r. & n. Co.'S
line of road near the Summit. was
struck by passing train this morning
and badly injured. He was pursuing
his usual duties along the track when
the Overland passed by on time, and
not stepping far enough from the
track was struck by the engine. This
happened about half past IL, and as
soon as the accident was known by
the men employed in keeping the
track clear from sand, the poor fellow
was placed on hand car and brought
to the depot. At first it was believed
he was dead. and the coroner was tel
ephoned to bring the dead wagon and
hold an inquest; but upon examination
he was proved to be alive. Drs. Lo-
gan and Lowe examined him and, al
though very seriously injured, there
were considered to be some chances
for his recovery, and he was taken to
the hospital in Portland, accompanied
by DR.. Logan.-The Dalles Chronicle.

TWO MILLION PASSENGERS.
Enormous Traffic Handled at Union
Depot In Portland.

Portland, Aug. 1.-THE advantages
of being a great railroad terminal is
shown by the records of the passen-
ger business of Portland for the last
fiscal year ending June 30. 1t is es-
tlmated that during the year 2,956,S10
coach passengers and 100000 Pull
man passengers were hauled into
Portland. In the light OF these fig
ures it is easier for people to under
stand why Portland needs more first
class hotel accommodations.
A total of 22761i cars were hauled
into the union station, Of which 76,-
s1S were in passenger trains and 150,-
796 were in freight trains. Allowing
10000 for express cars and another
10000 for Pullmans, there remained
56.819 coaches. The grand total OF
passengers arriving at the union sta
ton approximates 3,106,S1O. Calcu-
lating the freight at $4,000 pounds to
the car, the freight brought into Port
land by rail during the year amount

WINTER APPLES COMING.

John B. Benson, manager OF the

the shipment Of almost the entire
winter apple crop of that section to

him at the Pendleton Ice & Cold

Owing to the hot weather late IN
the spring the fall crop is very lig''t
and the winter crop will be but half
the usual yield. The summer crop Is
now exhausted and was also very
light in some places.
The crop of winter apples. although
light, will be of excellent quality and
will find ready market in the north
west. Owing to the excellent cold
storage and shipping facilities of PEN
dleton this will be the chief apple
shipping point for the entire eastern

SPIDERS STRIP FRUIT TREES.
Peculiar Pest Reported in Orchards
Near Lewiston.

\. L. Melander of the experimental
station of the Washington State col
lege at Pullman, was a visitor yester-
day having been summoned to Clarks-
ton to make an examination of the
cherry trees that are now suffering
from the red spider, says the Lewis
ton Tribune. Mr.. Melander states the
spiders have been in Charleston for
several years but are much more
plentiful this year than ever before,
due perhaps to the extreme heat and
the continued dry weather. The re-
suits of the spider are a dropping of
leaves, and many of the cherry trees
are now practically stripped OF their
foliage.
The results will be an inferior quail
ity and a lesser quantity OF fruit next
year, and unless steps are taken to ex-
terminate the pests within a few years
the trees will die. Mr.. Melander notes
that in those districts where the trees
have received plenty of water the
spiders are much less plentiful and the
leaves are still on the trees. The peach
and other fruit trees have not been
molested, the spider working chiefly
on the cherry and locust tree.
Mr.. Melander suggests that a spray
be administered at once and furnished
the following formula which has been
recommended by the California state
experimental station, where a care
full study of the spider pest has been
made.
The formula Is: A barrel of water,
two pounds Of flour cooked to a paste /;
pounds OF the flowers of sulphur
mixed with the paste; one-half pound
OF lye with water sufficient to moisten
the same added and then mix with the
paste. After the mixture has been
cooked by the action of the lye the
barrel Of water can be added and the
spray Is ready for use.
Mr.. Melander also states that where
| the sulphur spray was freely admins
/ tered in February to exterminate the
! San Jose scale, the red spiders are
doing practically no damage, and that
| in future years as soon as the spiders
are discovered after the cherries are
picked a solution composed of the
flour paste and sulphur will exter-
inmate them.
While in Charleston yesterday Mr
Melander made an examination of the
peach trees and finds the damage
slight, sustained by the severe cold
weather last winter. He reports th'
orchards as looking well.

an instrument used in fitting on horse

crossbar turning on a pivot. which
had at one end a flat board and at

of the tilter was to strike the board

Commissioned by the interior de-
paitment of the United States to in
vestigate the alleged slavery among
Alaskan Indians, Francis d. Way
land. a special agent of the depart
ment. passed through Pendleton this
morning on his way north.
He remained over here between
trains and was a guest of the French
restaurant and hotel during his stay
IN the city. He was worn out with
his long journey across the continent
from Washington, d. c., and stop
ped here to wash off the dust, and
rest before reaching Portland.
While Mr.. Wayland has never been
in Alaska before and has but meager
reports of the alleged slavery, he ex-
poets to fully investigate the charges
and with the aid of Governor Brady
rid 1t out entirely.
The system of slavery reported to
the department from Unalaska by
Prof william a. Davis, superintend-
ent of public schools at that place, is
said to be more oppressive than
American slavery or even the system
of peonage in Old Mexico.
1t has been reported to the depart
ment that Indian children from to
12 years of age have been brought as
slaves from the Aleutian islands to
| the mainland by several tribes.
| They were not offered for sale. but
were simply used as household slaves
| coming to the mainland.
| AS there are hundreds of fragment
airy tribes scattered along the broken
chain of the Aleutlan islands. the task
| of Mr.. Wayland is not one of small
magnitude.
However. the entire machinery OF
the government In Alaska and In
/ Alaskan waters will be at his service
and he will go from island to island
and tribe to tribe, In a revenue cut
ter which will be placed at his dis
posal.
None of the tribes of the north
speak English. few interpreters are
available and few of the tribes speak
q common language. so the task o.
ferreting out slavery and of making
the slave children understand tha
deliverance is at hand, looms up in
terminable.
While ne has no definite plan ant
would not give out such II he haC
formed any definite plans, yet III
thinks the procedure on arriving a
Unalaska will be to take the best In
terpreter available and follow out th'
clews given by Prof. Davis and as th'
children are found in servitude, L
collect them in charge of a compe
tent government official and plac
them in the Indian schools.
For 1900 miles the Aleutian island
stretch toward the coast of Asia an
Mr.. Wayland does not guess hoy
long It will require to crush out, o
even locate definitely the SLAYER
among the ignorant tribes.
Among many of the lowest tribe
all women are held in a sort of bond
age and this form of slavery will ais
be investigated. The interior depart
I ment is determined that no India
q slavery shall find Judgement in tn
q shadow of the flag.

Pingree Plan for Portland.

There is a rumor to the effect that
Mayor Lone has it in mind to try the
Pingree plan of turning over the va
cant lots of the city to poor families
for gardening purposes. says the
Catholic Sentinel. The plan would
probably help many poor families and
it would not hurt the property. The
proposal of such a plan serves to re-
mind people that there are immense
tracts of good farming land very
near the center of population, owing
to the fact that such property does
not bear its fair share of taxation and
can be held for speculative purposes.
