1t is expected that an investigation
concerning the conditions existing in
Maine relative to the suspected pres
ence of the gypsy moth in Maine will
soon be commenced by d. NJ. Rogers
of Boston, the field agent of the bureau
of entomology connected with the De-
partment of Agriculture at Washing
ton, d. c., who has charge of the cam
paign in New England against the
brown-tail and gypsy moths, and that
Mr. Rogers and crew of men will ar
rive in the State ready for work about
Nov. 20. The movement is under the
direction of DR.. l.. o. Howard, etomol-
ogiSt of the department, who wrote to
Mr.. Rogers a short time ago, suggest
ing that it was about time to begin
the work of scouting in Maine to dis
cover and destroy the nests of the
brown-tail moth. The leaves are now
off the trees and as DR.. Howard says
the nests can be easily seen and burnt.
DIR. Howard has completed and hand
ed to the secretary his report for the
fiscal year which ended June 30. and
in it he deals at length with the gypsy
and brown-tail moth troubles and de-
tails the steps which have been taken
to exterminate them. He recommends
in the report that s15000O be appropri-
ated by Congress next winter to carry
on the work of Kidding New England
of the moth pests during the next fis-
cal year. This is the amount original
ly asked for by Representative Roberts
and carried in his bill, but it was cut
down by Congress.
1t is authOritatively stated that Sec
rotary Wilson will approve DR.. How
ards recommendation in this respect
and personally urge its enactment into
law before the agricultural committees
Of the Senate and House.

MOLINE MENTION.

Death Record.-The scanning of the
death records of Moline for the last
five years shows steady decrease
notwithstanding the fact that the popu
lation is increasing steadily. In the
year just closed 222 deaths were re-
corded. OF this number "a deaths over
which the coroner held inquests to de-
termine the causes, nine of them were
the result of train fatalities, six died
suddenly from natural causes, there
were three suicides, three died as the
result of shop accidents, one succumb-
ed to the excessive use of Intoxicating
liquors, and there were two murders.

New BuiIdings-Five hundred shop,
business and residence buildings were
erected in Moline, the east end, East
Moline and Silvis during 1905. The
community kept pace during the last
IL months with the spirit of progress
that has been characteristic of Moline
of late years, when such marked
strides have been taken in general pub
lie improvement. There is no building
inspector in Moline and consequently
no way of definitely determining how
many buildings were erected, but con-
tractors unite in indorsing the estimate
as given, proclaiming the year just
closed to have ranked with the best
in history in point of new buildings
