GOBLIN MOTHS
ARE DESTROYED
THIRD SPRAYING JUST ENDED
ASSURES GOOD APPLE CROP
IN THIS VALLEY.

A complete destruction of the enc
my at all points attacked is reported
by Prof. R. E. Tumble of the State
college at Pullman who has been con-
Quoting a war of determination against
the codling moth in this locality for
the past few months and who has COM
pleted the third spraying of the or
chards of w. S. Ohner c.. L. Whitley,
and +. B. Lennon.
In speaking of his work this morn
ing Prof. Trumble said:
The results of the three SprayingS
have been satisfactory in the extreme
Orchards which have been sprayed are
practically free from the moth while
the crops of adjacent orchards have
been affected to the extent of from so
10 - per cent, one mar. who failed to
spray claiming that fully 50 per cent
of his apple crop was being eaten by
the worms
"One tree which was taken as an
average on Mr.. Whitney's ranch was
picked clean and out of 5SS apples we
found only one apple which contained
worm. My investig cations also
showed that where spraying had been
deferred from the time announced,
crops had been affected in proportion
10 the extent of the delay. One man
VINO sprayed a week after l did will
lose 90 per cent of mis- crop.
The third spraying was not started
moment too soon, as is shown by the
iatl mat worms were observed enter
ing the apples on the very day it was
completed, which was last Friday. In
orchards which have not been sprayed
The worms are now in the apples from
d fourth to a half of an inch. Where
lle spraying has been thoroughly done,
'he worms, as a rule, are killed by the
poison on the apple before it can cut
through the skin. In exceptional cases,
however the worm will live to cut
through the skin of the apple, but
Hol Tar enough to spoil the apple. This
700 Is only in rare cases."
Frof. Trumble leaves for Pullman
'ooay but will return to Walla Walla
N about three weeks to make the
1'urth spraying. The purpose of it will

A name for the street is wanted
Something neat and attractive that
will last through the week without

the spirit of the city. Something that
will be a drawing card. This is free

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Archbold, vice
president of the Standard Oil COM
papy. today issued a statement in
which he says Commissioner of Cor
porations Smith did ont give the
Standard a fair deal in preparing his
report on oil; part of the statement
reading as follows:
1T is sufficient for us to say that in
the preparation of his report Smith
did not see fit even to confer with US.
We think the public will agree we at
least were entitled to be heard IN
such matters. If Smith had seen fit to
confer with us we would readily have
furnished him with data for truthful
statement of facts on the question"

that sore of thing. 1 had believed that
he had quit his outside interests.
1T is certainly true that the tax
payers of Seattle are entitled to all
of the time of the city engineer. He
is paid to work for the city of Seattle.
AS to what action the council should

taken up by the members of the coun-

Il had not heard of Thomson's abb
sence from the city on private busi-
ness" said Councilman Hi Gill. Il don't
believe he has any business looking
after work for Walla Walla or any
other city when he is drawing salary
as city engineer of Seattle"
The following story in the Times
brought forth the storm from the
council:
City Engineer r. H. Thomson has
returned from Walla Walla, which
city he visited Tuesday for the pur-
pose of collecting fee of $500 and ex-
penses amounting to as much more as
engineer of the municipal waterworks
of Walla Walla. Thomson's presence
was required by the city authorities
of Walla Walla in order that a finol
settlement might be had between the
city and the National Wood Pipe COM
pany. which supplied the pipe for the
new Walla Walla waterwOrks
Thomson for this service was
awarded $500 as consulting engineers

Vienna, Oct. 1.-THE condition of
Emperor Francis Joseph took turn
for the worse at noon today, and at
a late hour tonight the SYMPTOMS of
inflammation of the lungs had increas-
ed. AT II o'clock tonight his majesty
was quiet and fell asleep. Maria
Christina, dowager queen of Spain,
who is also an arch duchess of Aus
tria, arrived here this evening from
Madrid.
All sorts of reports regarding the
Semperor's condition are in circulation
in this city tonight and there is ex-
element among the people. 1t is
known that since shortly after noon
today a physician has been continu-
ously in his majesty's room, endeayor-
ing to- ease the pain caused by his
severe caughing. The patient is gen
orally weaker than he was yesterday.

ROADS
Are Willing to Submit to Gov
eminent Regulation That
Is Wise and Just
That Is What Robert MatheF
of the Rock Island
Announced
He Says Railways Are Largely
Responsible for Distfust
Now Prevailing

Chicago, Oct. IL Large delegations
from ST. Louis and Milwaukee were
present at banquet Of the Chicago
Association of Comferce tonight at
Auditorium Hall. These with the
members of the organization made
full six hundred guests at the ban
quet. The principal address was by
Robert Mather of the Rock Island
system, who spoke at considerable
length on the railroad problem.
y II count as first among the causes
that have made the securities of rail
roads unstable. he said, .tto the mis-
deeds of the railways themselves. i
do not include in this term, for the
purpose of this discussion, the pay
ment of rebates. I would not deny
under present conditions the pernic-
iousness of this practice, or decry
the efforts of the government to ter
inmate it. And / know Of no surer
way to accomplish that end than for
a righteous and determined execu-
tive to keep both the carrier and
shipper in terror of confiscatory fines
which that drastic act imposes for
its violation.
81 place second in the list of causes
for want of confidence in railroad Sc
curities the uncertainty as to the
kind and extent of governmental SUI
per vision and regulation to which
railroads are yet to be subjected.
''The regulation that threatens per
il to the railroads and commerce of
the country today is the regulation
Of the states. Such regulation can
be neither logical, consistent nor
comprehensive. Let us neither abuse
the high source from which much of
the suggestion proceeded, nor blame
too harshly men who sit in 1egisla-
tive seats and recorded the clamor
that filled their ears. Let us rather
take note of the fact, and prepare to
deal with it. @q" ~"
Il cannot help but feel that it
would tend greatly to wisdom and
justice if the people realize that the
railroads would willingly submit to
plan of regulation that was wise
and just. -. &.
I'VE must assume that the presi-
dent, in preaching of the regulation.
of railroads, has in mind practical
regulation designed to confer. bene-
fit in the hroadest sense. 1t is not
to be assumed that his is to be a cruz
SADIE for the mere abstract righteous
ness in which business must be fore
ed to the wall of the perfection of
the spirit cannot be attained. We
have the right to expect that with
precision and wisdom and conser-
vatism he will formulate his final
recommendations to congress"
