Seeks Modified Order.

It is probable Mr.. Monahan will use
this statement Of President Stickney to
later press his point that the commits
sion modify it's original order for an
Examination of railroad accounts, to
permit him to have an experienced as
sistant. -. .-s r"-
Today L. A. Robinson, secretary and
auditor Of the Minnesota Transfer COM
pany, submitted a statement which had
been previously called for by Mr..
Manahan. It showed the tonnage trans
ferred during the past year at the
transfer and used in dividing expenses
among the tenant companies was 8,787,-
274 tons. Tonnage for the Northern
Pacific was 2,203,846; expenses Of the
Northern Pacific, $14e, 769:4s; tonnage
of Milwaukee road, j ,16l,993; Milwau-
kee' g expenses, $50 ,346.
| The commission held long executive
! conference today with the attorney
! general, at which the formal drafting
| of a more specific order relating to ex.
aiming Of railroad records was the
subject. It is believed Mr.. Manahan s
desire for an expert assistant and the
commission g legal right to make
such a concession Is the sticking point
Of the question.

SEVERANCE SAYS ALL ROADS
WILL OBEY ORDER.
Mammalian, for the Shippers Associa-
ton, Calls President Stickney to the
Stand and Will Ask Modified Ruling
and an Expert Railroad Accountant
to Examine Records.

G. A. Severance, attorney for the
railroads, today informed the railroad
and warehouse commissions, that no
railroad would offer opposition to ex-
animation of It's records to affirm the
figures which the railroad officials have
offered in evidence at the merchandise
rate hearing, tending to show, that
there should not be reduction IN the
existing tariffs.
ri received service Of an order late
Saturday. said Mr.. Severance, :'rela-
tive to the Milwaukee road and similar
in construction to the order relating to
examination Of the Great Northern 9
records. haye not the least doubt
that the Milwaukee will permit an ex-
animation Of its records, as will all the
other roads concerned, with whose
officials I have conversed on the sub
ject. I took the liberty, however, in
the case of the Milwaukee, to write to
the company's headquarters In Chicago
and state that, altho they were sum
moned to show their records today, IN
view of the fact that the Great North:
ern was to appear at the same time,
did not think they would be needed
today. I have no doubt, however, that
the Milwaukee will permit an examina
tion Of its accounts at it's head offices
in Chicago, as will the Great Northern

ocratic Jailer.

MIR. R. A. Morris, who lives just
outside the city limits, was on the
5 reefs yesterday. He said ne was
born on the 2Sd Of September, 1886,
and his mother often told him that
MS birthday was the worst one she
ever saw, as on that day they had
every kind Of weather. 1t rained

Of thunder and flashes of lightning
added much to the unpleasantness
of the day.
Mrs. Morris is still living. They
raised twelve children to manhood
and womanhood and the thirteenth
died in infancy. Mr.. Morris, who
has always been a Democrat, in a
contest with three other prominent
men of his party, was the first Dem
ocratic jailer Of this county after the
war. He is in feeble health now, but
always manages to get to the polls
on election day.

.PINE TREE PEST
6ARKBEETLE AND HIS DEsTRUc-
TIVE WORK IN THE WEST.
Fine Timber in Idaho and Other States
Suffers from the RaVages Of
Small Insect That Rid
dies the Bark.

Strange, does it not SEEM that 50
little a thing could destroy a mighty
monarch of the forest. A little insect
called a barkbeetle is working havoc
in some pine forests in the west, espe-
cially in Idaho, and the government is
making special study, not only OF the
beetle, but of methods by which he
can be eXterminated
The adult insect is a stout brown
ish-winged beetle from one-eighth to
three-sixteeths inch in length, which
attacks the living trees in swarms, and
burrows into the living bark, through
the inner layer of which each female
excavates winding galleries, as shown
in an illustration, il which to deposit
eggs. These galleries serve to cut off
the natural movement of the sap and
completely girdle and kill the tree.
In the vicinity of Centerville, Idaho,
the eggs, deposited during June, July,
or August, in little inches in the sides
of the galleries, hatch within four or
five days into small whitish larvae

from the primary gallery through the
outer layers of the inner bark until
they have completed their growth,
which requires from about 20 to 80
days. They then bore into the outer
corky bark where they excavate little
cells in which to transform, first to
the pupa and later to the adult When
the broods of the first generation have
thus devolOped-in about 60 or 20 days
they bore out through the bark and
fly to other trees to repeat the process
and continue their depredations.
The presence of this destructive in
sect in a forest is indicated Cd by
dead and dying trees scattered about
or in clumps or large patches. (The
dying ones, with fading yellowish and
reddish foliage, are called "sorrel
tops" or, if with bare branches or
broken tops, are known as black
tops" or broken tops" (2) by small
masses of resin in the crevices of the
bark of recently attacked living trees,
as well as in those of the dying and
dead ones; and (3) the presence of
the species is determined by removing
the bark from the dying and dead
trees and finding the characteristic
galleries)
If neglected and under certain con-
ditions favorable to the Species it is
capable of devastating the pine forests
over large areas The brOOds Of the
beetle pass the winter in the outer
bark of trees killed by it the previous
summer The adults of the overwin-
tering broods emerge and fly in May,
June, and July the beginning and end
ing of the period varying with the sea
sons, latitude, and altitude.
The first eggs from the first genera
ton are deposited in June or July, and
in some of the warm localities posi-
bly, as early as the middle of May. In
localities intermediate between the
colder and warmer regions the major
ity of the adults of the first generation
evidently develop and emerge in Aug
ust, but some individuals may remain
in the trees until June of the next
year
The first eggs of the second genera
ton are evidently deposited in August
and September, depending on locality,
and it would appear that in interme-
date localities all of the broods of
this generation pass the winter (hiber-
natel in the larval stage in the outer
bark. In the warmer localities some
of them may develop and emerge in
the fall, while in the colder localities
there may be but one generation.
The first evidence of attack on liv-
ing trees is the presence of pitch
tubes on the bark or of reddish Dor
ings lodged in the crevices and around
the base of the tree
During the fall, winter, and follow
ing spring, after a successful attack,
the infested trees will be indicated by
the fading yellowish and reddish
leaves.
The work of the insect will be indi-
Gated by the winding galleries through
the inner bark. Trees from which
the broods have emerged will be indi-
Gated by large numbers of small holes
through the outer bark.
