"BlRDS AND BUGS y

A. II. Cordley professor Of Ioolo-
~ and Entomology and his assl''-
ant Prof W. 4. shaw, of the Ore
gon Agricultural College, arrived
here overland Wednesday evening
accompanied by Fred Griffin, a
student Of that / stitution. These
gentlemen came across the Cascade
mountains by way Of Prineville and
will spend some time in the vicini-
ty Of Harney and Malheur lakes.
They are on u collecting tour secur-
ing specimens Of birds aud bugs
The party spent Thursday in this
city aud expressed surprise aud
delight upon finding such u valley
as we have, and especially the great
variety Of vegetables, fruit, etc. We
produce aud are experimenting
with.
Prof Cordley visited u number OF
gardens and young orchards in this
city and stated that our plants
look much healthier and we had
greater variety than in Corval'
liz. His attention was called u
the green aphis, practically the
only pest with which we have to
contend and II was certainly n re'
lief to those interested in growing
ornamental shrubs and fruit 10 find
the aphis was not 50 serious as we
may think.
The party hoped DR., Withyeom6o
and his associates would reach here
Thursday evening, but as they did
not, they departed for the lakes
yesterday morning

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.

DIR. James Withycombe and
Prof. Kinsely of the Oregon Ag-
rlcultural College arrived in this
city yesterday and will be in read
mess to begin the farmers instl-
tute Monday evening, July 2, at
the Court House. The Times
Herald is sorry that President
Newell of the State Board OF
Horticulture found i: impossible
to come at the last moment. This
will be a disappointment to fruit
growers, bnt we should bring
Prof. Cordley cup out of the
swamp" to take MIR. Newell S
place. Horticulture will not be
neglected at any rate and our
farmers and stockmen will find
this institute most profitable and
instructive.
DR.. Withycombe has expressed
himself as being delighted with
our big, beautiful valley and pre-
diets a great future.
BE sure to attend the institute
1T is we'll worth any sacrifice
upon the part Of our people.

in conversation it was learned that

were following it through to On

a bulletin on wages, hours OF

Of labor is of interest at this time
for the reason that it shows thar

21.5 pcr cent while the average
hours worked per week has de-
creased 80 per cent. So that the
average workman. working shorter
hours than in 1894. earns 16-7 per
cent more per week. During this
same period there has been a gen
eral advance in the prices of most
commodities. but the average adj
vance in prices has been much less
than the increase in wages. The
increase in the price of food, weight

12.7 per cent, and the average wage

more important are the figures as

1905 as compared with 1891
These show an increase of ~ per

third of those employed in 1909

consequence of this great increase
in the number employed and the
increase in the rate of wages the
total amount paid in wages was
65.i per cent greater in 1905 than
in 1894.
An interesting fact in connection
with the increases in the average
prices of commodities is thar it has
been most marked in the prices OF

40 REA4oy1 FOR CHANGE


We are now approaching the
close of the campaign for the fall
elections. Practically every man
in West Virginia has had an oPpor-
UNITY to advise himself as TO the
respective claims of the two great
parties. On the one hand the Re
publicans have been giving an ac-
count of their stewardship, and on
the other hand the Democrats are
attacking that stewardship. Every
voter has had an opportunity to
hear the respective sides and to
make an intelligent decision.
The Democrats have been telling
the people that times are not what
they ought to be. They say that
Democratic policies are necessary to
make times right They are advo-
citing the same doctrines today
that they advocated in 1892. and
they declare that they want to put
into force the same policies they
put in force in 1898. They tell us
that present times are not good
enough. and propose the same sort
of a remedy they tried with such
unfortunate results in 1898.
On the other hand the Repub-
leans say to the people that they
promised restoation Of good times
il they we're elected in 1896. and ask
diem to say whether they have made
good the promise.
"We ask Won To compare the wear
lgO6 with tho wear 1903 and tell us
whether we have redeemed our
promises. say the Republicans,
We want you to compare the whole
