take a cheerful view of the fight

Maine the winter crusade against the
moth nests has been energetically car

peen destroyed. 1t is inevitable. how
ever, that many have been overlooked
but if the little caterpillars were killed
by the intense cold which followed Tho
unseasonably warm weather in ,ha

FOR \ GOOD STATE FAIR.
President Downing VIII Make a Tour
Of Eastern OREGON.

w. II. Downing, president of the
state board of agriculture, accompan-
led by Mrs. Downing, left yesterday
afternoon for eastern Oregon in the
interests Of the state fair, says Mon
days Salem Journal He will go to
The Dalles, Baker City, Pendleton and
La Grande and will confer with the
authorities Of the various counties.
But few. II any, Of the eastern oregon
counties have ever had exhibits at the
state fair.
For some reason the people Of cast
ern Oregon have failed to grasp the
opportunity of advertising their coun-
ties through the state fair as a pub
licity medium. The Oregon state fair
is not a Marion county affair, but a
statewide enterprise.
There is considerable interest taken
in the exhibits by the counties Of the
western part Of Oregon, even on the
part Of those who have never partici-
pated before. President Downing be-
lieves the coming fair will be a sue
cess in spite of the fact that many Of
the counties made large appropria'
tions for the Lewis and Clark expo.
sition last year and do not feel they
can be represented very extensively
at the state fair.
As to attendance, the fair promises
to be a record-breaker. as many in
quiries are already coming in at th'
headquarters.

BRYAN Is THE CHOICE.
Representative Charles \. Towne
Finds Sentiment Strong.

llus StltliHtnl SlFOnS.
A special from New York to the
Oregon Daily Journal says:
Representative Charles a. Towne
passed through the city today return
ing from a trip to South Dakota,
Iowa and Illinois, where he gathered
impressions of political conditions in
the middle west. He said:
Among democrats in the west only
one man is being talked of-Bryan.
1t is taken for granted that he is to
be the democratic candidate for pres
ident without any consideration.
There is absolute harmony among
democrats in the west, the gold DEM
ocrats and the former opponents of
that faction being in thorough accord
as to Bryan's candidacy.
Il was struck by the confidence
that the people seemed to have in the
prospect of electing Bryan. Demo-
cratic hope is running high through
out the western country and the dem
ocrats will go into the presidential
campaign with great enthusiasm.
Moreover, this spirit Of zeal and har-
mony will be manifested in the COM
ing congressional campaign and will
do us good. 1 predict that many a
seat in the house now occupied by a
republican, by virtue Of democratic
votes that went astray two and foui
years ago, will hold a democrat in the
next congress"

wRENs TO PROTECT FOOD,
Lewiston Man Suggests Deadly
Enemy To Goblin Moths.

Enemy to Goblin Moths.
The following article appeared in
a recent issue of the Lewiston Trib-
une:
In commenting upon the ravages of
the Goblin moth as suggested by
George Peaslee, the well known Clark
ton fruitgrower, DR.. Bruce advances
the idea Of offering protection to the
wren bird which he states might be
induced to exterminate the Goblin
moth as It does the bee moth. DR..
Bruce, i'm communication to the
Tribune. says:
To the Tribune; Like Jenny Wren,
II have an idea as large as marble"
II may grow to be "as large as an
orange" l have read with great in
terest the article of George Peaslee.
am. as you know, only an onlooker,
but l am deeply interested in apple
culture.
Two years or so ago 1 visited the
fruit region of Colorado and saw ex-
perienced men gradually substituting
apple trees in place of prunes; apples
being the best paying and least per-
ishable crop.
The previous year 1 spent my vaca-
ton on a bee farm in Iowa. Upon
the principle that the more you see
the more you know. l Joined the bee
man at his work; the bees accepted
me without sting, and l saw few
things worth remembering. One of
these was that the wren was colonized
TO eat the bee moth. Small boxes were
nailed to the trees with an opening
only large enough to admit the de-
sired tenant. In those little homes
the nests were built and the busy
creatures could be seen about the
hives strictly attending to their part
OF the business.
The wren is here with us. I watch
them morning and evenings hunting
among the grass on the bank outside
nv window. 1t is an insect eating
bird and does not at all disturb the
fruit gardens, as the robins do. Now,
I think my idea is clear to all. The
Goblin moth will doubtless taste just
as good to the wren as a bee moth.
Any one who has given the subject a
little attention knows the enormous
number of insects that are eaten by
a single bird.
The erroneous idea that has pre-
vailed and caused the destruction OF
so many protective birds, is largely
giving place 10 a better understanding
of what birds really do for us. The
wren becomes very familiar with
man. Care has to be taken as to the
entrance to the boxes as sparrows
will drive out the wrens If the open
ing is too large. When l grow up an6
go into business I will plant and SOW
alsac clover. keep bees and wrens, and
do all things in which my heart de-
lights in. In the meantime 1 hope
this may meet the eye of some one
who will try the wren cure.

STATISTICS OF THE BLIND.
Total Number of Blind In the United
States Is 64763.

About one person in every 1900
was blind and one in every $50 per-
sons was deaf in the United States in
1900, according to a special census
report on the blind and deaf bulletin
just issued by the censsu bureau. The
inquiry was conducted under the di-
rection of DR.. Alexander Graham Bell,
who determined the scope of the in
vestigation and wrote the text of the
report on the deaf.
The total number of blind in the
United States in 1900 was 64,763, Of
whom 1896 were totally blind and
29,40S partially blind.
These figures, however, the report
says, cannot be considered as the
minimum as an unknown proportion
Of the blind were not located by the
enumerators. OF the total blind, 3D.
O54 were males and 27,709 females.
The blindness is chiefly a defect of
adult life, almost SIS per cent of the
blind becoming so after 20 years of
age. About one-tenth of the total
number of blind we're born so. The
number Of blind per 1000 population
was greater among the whites, and
greater among the foreign-born
whites than among the native whites.
In about five per cent Of the cases
OF blindness reported, the parents II
the blind we're cousins. OF the blind
whose parents were so related, 25 per
cent were congenitally blind. while
among the blind whose parents were
not cousins the proportional congenit-
ally blind was 6S per cent OF the
blind at least 10 years old, 10 per
cent were engaged in some gainful
occupation.
The percentage Of persons engaged
IN professional pursuits, trade and
transportation and in manufacturing
and mechanical Industries are larger
among the totally blind than among
the general population.
