THE MARCH OF THE GREEN BUG


Reports of damage to winter wheat
in Kansas formed the chief reason for
renewed strength in the Chicago wheat
market. At the close wheat for
September delivery was lao higher.
Corn showed net gain of 8 SO. Oats
were 3-4c higher. Provisions we're up
shade to 10 lao.
Advices from Kansas City were de.
cidedly pessimistic. declaring that in
jury was caused by green bugs and
unfavorable weather. The new croI
will not run more than eight bushels
to the acre. Reports from Oklahoma
where threshing is already begun
claimed that the yield in that state il
very disappointing, averaging from
three to five bushels per acre. These
advices were supplemented by reports
from the spring wheat country that ar
army of green bugs is advancing with
great rapidity through the wheat fields
Of Minnesota and the Dakotas. This
news held the market strong almost all
day. A decrease of 3.5O0,O00 bushels
in the W orld's visible supply as shown
by Bradstreet's was another bullish
influence. Trading was active all day.

City Pumping Water.

The city of Athena is pumping water
into the reservoir. The using of the
well water is but temporary. and is
necessary for the reason that the in
take pipes at the head of the gravity
system have become clogged with soil
or else have been crushed. The crush
ing of the pipe. which is manufacture
ed Of burnt clay, could result from
weight of earth settling down in The
ditches. after the pipe had become
porous and soft. A force of men are
making repairs and the gravity system
will soon be in use again. Wednesday
but one foot Of water remained in the
reservoir, and pumring was, at once
resorted to.

Court Holds Government Regu-
lations Are Sufficient.
OREGON LAW NOT QUESTIONED
Contention Over Special Provision
That sheep From Other States
Be Dipped Three Times,

Advioes from Walla Waila state
there is much rejoicing among the
members of the Wenaha Woolgrowers'
association there over the decision Of
Judge Wolyerton granting them. the
temporary restraining order asked for
in the federal court at Portland against
the enforcement of the rules of the
Oregon sheep commission. The well
come news was contained in a brief
dispatch sentsby Attorney Fl. G. Bry-
son, president of the association, who
had gone to Portland with Attorney
Oscar Gain to file other papers in the
case pending the decision. He wired
as follows:" "Won both cases in the
federal court, the decision being prao-
tically that compliance with govern
ment regulations for interstate move
ment of sheep is sufficient.
At the last session Of the Oregon
legislature law was enacted provid-
ing that all sheep within that state
should be dipped at least once each
year between April and August /,
with some standard dip approved by
the state sheep commission for scab,
and that after the year 1907 healthy
sheep in The state of Oregon shall not
be required to be dipped. 1t also pro-
vides that il the weather is such as to-
make the dipping unsafe Oregon sheep
need not be dipped.
But it was the special provision of
the act which makes it posi- BILE to ex-
clude outside sheep that the Washing
ton sheepmen declared to be manifestly
unjust. as it provides: ''If the state
sheep board SO declares all sheep from
other states shall be dipped three
times" !" They contend that such re-
| quirement is not only unjust but would
amount to practical exclusion Of oil
sheep from other states, as three dip
pings would entail such an expense as
to drive sheepmen outside of Oregon
out of the business.
| The Washington sheepmen will now
| proceed to drive their fiocks to th,
ranges TO which they have been as
signed, but will prepare to comply
WALL tho dWs uuoo Al buc Stulcs ths
same az resident sheepmen of the stats
of Oregon. The Wenaha sheepmer
claim that they have dipped their sheep
and had them inspected by q govern
ment inspector while in the state Of
Washington and that they are free
from scab and consequently there is
no occasion for further dipping, which
would be both dangerous and expen-
sive and would serve no good purpose.
They propose to fight out the proposi-
tion along these lines But in the de-
cision Of Judge Wolverton it is only
the regulation of the Oregon sheep
commission that is questioned, while
the law and the proclamation Of the
governor are upheld.

TWO NIGHTS IN SAGE BRUSH
Baby, 10 Months Old Wanders Eight
Miles From Home.

Unharmed after wandering eight
miles into the sage brush and spending
two nights without food or shelter, a
10 months old boy, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lawrence of near Caldwell, Idaho,
was found Monday morning by a
searching party and safely returned to
the anxious parents.
The little fellow was missed from
home shortly after O'Clock Saturday
evening. Search was begun and con-
tinued all night. Harold Hawthorn,
with his horse, finally found the little
one eight miles east of its home. He
was searching in that direction with a
party, but Others had turned back, de-
claring the child could not have travel
cd so far. However, he pushed on.
He found some baby tracks, but these
were soon lost. He kept on, leading
his horse and selecting what seemed
the most probable route.
After he had gone half mile from
the point where his companions both
left him. be heard child's voice say
ing, pretty pony; baby ride pony"
Looking over the sagebrush Haw-
thorn saw the little one standing there
unconcerned and reaching out his arms
to him. He picked it up and hurried
to the top of the ridge, from which he
signalled.
While the Others galloped to notify
the parents, Hawthorn put the child
in his saddle and started back. He
had a bottle of milk from which the
child partook rayenously until be took
it away. The feet aud legs OF the little
one were ecratched, but it was other-
wise none the worse for its experience.

Continued favorable weather, coupled
with improvement in recorder business
with jobbers and in payments on past

the general situation than seemed possi-
bic month ago. That some trade was.
lost for this reason is, of course, certain,
as Is the fact that reduction sales have
been necessary to move some slow selling
goods but 1t is noted that cotton goods
have again been advanced, that dress fab

kilograms to Bradstreet's show the ef-
feet of midsummer conditions on many

the crop outlook is defined there is a

buy more freely for future delivery.

Train Robbers shoot Two Har-

Suffering intense pain from terrible

Raymond, an aeronaut, is slowly recover
ing after what almost proved to be
fatal aerial trip. Clnging to the trapeze
of his parachute, although his flight to-
ward the earth only famed the flames
into a fercer blaze, Raymond was able
by sheer grit to save his life. 1t is not
believed his injuries will prove fatal.
So high up in the air was Raymond when
the accident occurred that few of the
spectators to his ascension from Hillside
Park, n. j., knew anything had gone
wrong. An error in touching the wrong
spring in the cannon in which Raymond
made the ascension was responsible for
his awful experience. Raymond and the
parachute were inside the cannon"
which took the place of basket attached
to the balloon. A heavy spring was ar
ranged to shoot him out of the cannon,
and as he left it a second spring would
discharge a load Of powder, creating the
Illusion that he had actually blown him
self out Of the cannon. Raymond struck
the powder spring first. For several hun
dred feet as he dropped the flames fared

out. Enduring awful pain, Raymond

Elysees amid the acclamations of the
crowds thronging the sidewalks and
shouting "yice Fallieres,'' ''Vive LAT
NEE" when at the corner of Lesueur
street Maille, from the curb fired two
shots point-blank at the President in
quick succession.
Almost miraculously, no one was hit
President Fallieres was cool and col
lected.
In the meantime two policemen
seized Maille, who made no resistance.
The police with difficulty prevented the
crowds from lynching the prisoner,
until a Gordon of reserves came up and
conducted him to the station. There
Maille refused to give any reasons for
his act, saying:
''The revelations L have are so grave
and serious that l will make them only
before a magistrate for transmission
to the chief of state. 1t is a matter
between the government and me. am
the victim of many villainies"
1t is believed that the man partici-
pated in the recent seamen's strike,
and that his mind was unhinged by fan
cied grievances.
Maille appeared before an examining
magistrate, and the authorities sue
ceeded only in extracting from him a
rambling statement about family perse-
cution directed against him. 1t was
in order to draw public attention to his
grievances, he said, that he fired the
shots
