WAR ON THE GOBLIN MOTH BEGAN THIS
AFTERNOON At THE EUGENE LENNON RANCH
Prof. MeIander of Pullman Gives Lecture In Commercial Ct
Rooms This Morning. Which is Largely Attended, Exhibition
Spraying is Done On One Orchard This Afternoon

Those of the farmers and fruit
growers who attended the lecture
given by Prof. A. l.. Melander, ento-
mologisr of the state experiment sta
ton at Pullman, in the Commercial
club rooms this morning, were more
than repaid for their time.
The topic under discussion was the
-'codling moth" The club rooms were
filled 10 hear the talk. After the
lecture had been given by Prof. Me-
lander, general discussion fol-
lowed in which all those present took
par.
The life history of the insect and
the proper time of spray were the prin
cipal thoughts brought out by the
speaker. Prof. Melander said he had
been studying the codling moth since
1898. Various methods We're employed
and experimental with in treating the
insect with a view of determining the
best means of eradicating the pest.
After the most thorough inveStiga-
1on was made it was found that arse

settlement of the strike.
Union pickets were on hand early at
all the barns and when the crowds
came, cautioned them, as they had
since the strike began. to refrain from
violence.
There was a perceptible thinning OF
the crowds at both barns when it was
announced no attempt would be made
to move the cars until 1890, when one
car. loaded with strike breakers, will
leave the Turk street barn for the
Oak street car barn.
At l o'clock, or as soon thereafter az
arrangements can be completed, two
cars will be sent out of the Oak street
barns to go over the route taken We'd

PLAN To HAVE SHEEP DIPPED IN

lost s225,00 on account of the little
microbe and they believe it is no more
than right that quarantine measures
should be taken to protect themselves.
The contention among sheepmen of
Walla Walla, Columbia, Franklin and
Asotin counties is that the herds in
this section are free from the disease
and dipping is an unnecessary expense
50 they haVe some reason in resisting
the quarantine.
Notwithstanding this. however, it
looks like the sheepmen of this state
will have to yield to the Oregonians
and if this is the case the cheapest
way out of the dilemma will be the
best.
Inspector Schmitz thinks it would be
advisable for the sheepmen of the four
counties to get together ana build dip
ping vats and pens here as most Of the
wool bearers have 70 pass through
the city on their way to the mountain
pastures next month.

THREE BIG BASEBALL GAMES
Whitman and Washington 10 Play
Next Week

Three games of baseball and a track
meet with Washington next week is
the gleeful prospect the Missionary
athletes are now contemplating.
Local fans believe Whitman has the
best ball team outside of the profess
siOnal leagues, in the northwest and
no one would be surprised if the maize
and blue should be waved VIGOROUSLY
four straight times before the men
from the west return to the Sound city.
With George Marquis pitching, the
local collegians believe the first game
is cinched already and with Rigsby
and butcher for the other two games
no fear is felt for the results of those
contests.
The Seattle college has always held
the first place in crack work among
the colleges of the state, but this year
Whitman expects to reverse the scores
of former meetings and when Cox and
PhilbroOk get through with the Uni
versity men It will be time for them
to weep.

EARLIER REPORTS WERE EXAGGERATED
BUT DAMAGE TO FRUIT CROP IS SERIOUS

After a careful canvass of the valley
representatives of The Statesman
have gathered that while the damage
at first thought to have been inflicted
on the fruit industry by frost was
greatly overrated. still there will be
considerable loss, especially to the
peach and cherry crop which suffered
most.
Apples, harder fruit, We're not
hurt so badly and good crop of the
rosk checked staples is assured, al
though it is the opinion of conserva-
tive growers the supply will fall short
of the average.
For the information of those who
are disposed to cry fake every time
a headline of more than ordinary con-
spicuousness appears in an uptodate
newspaper. The Statesman wishes to
say il had every reason to suppose the
damage at first reported was wide

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.-Lack of
anything like serious riot Wednes-
day had the tendency to reduce the
crowds around the car barns this
morning.
When the detachments Of mounted
and unmounted police took up their
stations it was found to be compare
lively an easy matter to maintain order
When given the signal the pickets aid
ed in keeping the crowds back of the
deadline by the auto squad.
The principal interest centered in the
expected movement of the cars from
the Oak street barns and there was
the greatest crowd gathered. The

siderably relaxed. the strikers and

growers interviewed at the time the
news was first received, had an opti-

AS it is, some of the largest or
chards in the county are totally de-

A sheep dipping plant at Walla Wall
la to be used by the sheepmen of four
counties and the expense of putting IN
the plant to be borne pro rata by the
various owners seems to be the easiest
and best solution of the controversy
between the warning interests of this
state and Oregon.
The oregon men are making a de-
termined fight to keep Washington

first dipped and this attitude is not
taken without reason. In justice TO

sufficient to secure a fair yield as the
fruit will be larger and of better quail
ity. In many other orchards the same
conditions prevail. The frost was
beneficial in a way for it thlnned the
blossoms. Still had the chill not pee"
quite so extensive a much better crop
would have resulted.
That the gardens and Orcharus
around Milton and other points were
not damaged by the frost is attributed
by Fruit Inspector Whitney 10 the
air currents which blew the cold away
The same thing happened in the Co
lumbia river basin.
The fact remains, however, that
great deal of damage did result from
the frost and the yield Of fruit TINS
year will not be quite up to the aver
age.
