WASHINGT ON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent

~ looks nowas though the MOI

American property, or, is mor'
likely, to prevent any foreign
government taking a similar
step. The war between Honduras
and Nicaragua is Of no great in
terest to the outside world. II
has something to do witha bour
Diary line and that is about all
that any one has gathered from
it. But there have been threats ol
1looting, prompted doubtless by
interested governments abroad,
and this government, in it's role
OF elder brother to the republics
OF the South, is expected to play
policeman. 1t was reported that
a promise had been given by, the
Nicaraguan government to turn
over the first importantcity cap
tured in Honduras to loot q n d
pillage by the soldiery. This was
80 utterly at variance with the
modern practice Of civilized ma
tions that minister Coree of Nj
caragua hastened to the State
Department to contradict it as
soon as it was started. The ex-
PLANTATION Of the story was sim
pie. 1t might have come either
from the one foreign government
that is always looking for an ex-
cuse to land forces on South A
merican soil to see. how far We
will go in making good the Mon
roe Doctrine. Or it might have
been circulated by any two or.
three continental powers having
large commandments in Hon
duras, and wanting to see t h e
place well policed by the United
States without the expense ofdo-
ing it themselves.
There is really no thought Of
serious complications following
the Honduras Nicaragua embro-
Clio. 1t is generally understood
that as soon as one side or the
other wins anything like a deci-
sive victory, the good Offices OF
this country and Mexico will be
offered, and that one or the 9TH
er of them will be accepted. tits
thought that this country will |

intervention somewhat, and will
be equally if not more acceptable
to the waring states and to the
rest OF South America. 1t will be
good training for Mexico, and
she is not likely to be accused OF
llterior motives by any outside
parties.

possible underline Sherman Anti
Trust law. Indeed it ia said thai
there is a fair chance Of convict
ing Hartman under the Sherman
Act, the case OF his two railroads
being almost the duplicate OF thl
Northern Securities case.
The railroads as a whole ART
still very nervous Of action by
the Administration. The fact
that Secretary Cortelyou has re
fused to accept any more rail
road bonds as security for bank
circulation is thought to be q
possible forerunner of action de-
manding thewithdrawal OF bonds
already so deposited. The mere
fact that Mr.. Cortelyou has said
he has no such intention is not
received with the assurance such
a positive statement would seem
to warrant.
A number of railroads h a v e
thaken q course that is a little
puzzling. The Erie for instance
has issued peremptory orders to
discontinue work on q b O u t
$S, 100000 worth OF improve
ments. This will mean cancel
alton of orders and throwing
thousands of men out of work.
One of the big southern lines has
taken the same step, though it's
work is not quite so extensive.
Many OF the other roads have
suspended work on extensions
and are doing only the m o s t
work of maintainance.
The roads taking this action
alleges that it is almost impossi-
BILE in the present state of feeling
to get money to carry on t h e
work. This doubtless is true in a
but there is little doubt
also, that the situation is not so
desperate as theroads make out.
1t looks more like an organized
attempt to start a national de-
preston and accomplish by this
sort OF a threat what the furry
IN the stock market did not
accomplish, namely a break in

'oads legislation intended to

With MuItnOmath.

Interesting reading for Corval-
lis people who take an interest in
affairs athletic i, found in Satur-
das's Eugene Guard, which says
The Multnomah Amateur Ath-
letic Club and the University of
Oregon have entered into an
agreement 20 play their annual
football game on Thanksgiving
day of this year, and also next
year. The contract was sigued
by the club manager and c. N.
Macarthur, the Portland repre-
sentative of Oregon, yesterday,
and the document calls for a
game in 1907, and also one in
1908.
The same conditions will gov
ern both contests. The condi-
tions of the agreement are not
quite so favorable as .ormerly,
though each party gets 50 per
cent OF the net receipts, as be-
fore. The rent for the club field
mas been placed considerably
higher than before, which, OF
course, cuts into the gross re-
ceipts. However, the new ar
rangement is very agreeable to
the Oregon manager, Grover
Kestley, for the club manage
ment to arrange the division on a
sixty and forty per cent basis,
Oregon getting the short end.
Multnomah will also get the
grandstand charges, and in order
to increase the amount expects to
build a new one to hold betwee u
4,ooo and 5000 people. The
present one has a capacity oi
800.

GOBLIN MOTH.
Farmers in Benton Should be
Ready-The Method.

County Fruit Inspector French
| wishes TO call the attention oi
orchardists and fruit men to the
fact that the time to spray fo1
Goblin moth is not many weeks
distant and that all should be
prepared to begin this war as
soon as the hour is propitious.
The government reports show
the codlln mo:h to be the worst
and most fatal pest in the United
States, and it is declared to be
by far the most destructive in the
Willamette valley, facts which
should stimulate the orchardlsts
to action when the season ar
rives. The Goblin moth always
attacks the fruit at the calix and
thus bores its way to the heart OF
the apple or other fruit. Spray,
ing is dou- as soon as the petals
begin to fall from he blossoms,
while the calix remains open and
bv using a strong sprayer at close
range the poison is injected into
the calix. Immediately after the
petals have fallen the calix closes,
and a sufficient quantity of the
poison spray is thus retained and
sealed up ia the calix. or cup, to
kill not only the Goblin moth but
any other worm that attempts to
bore to the heart of the fruit.
Later, when the fruit is of
larger growth, spraying is again
resorted to in order to kill all
outside pests, which gives the
Iapple or whatever it may be a
chance to mature without blem-
ish.
1t should be borne in mind
that the first spraying must need
be done when TIL petals begin to
tall aud the calix is still open, in
order that the poison may pene-
trate and be retained in the cup
when it closes. This is the secret
of successful spraying and every
one with trees to attend should
give attention. 1t will mean
more and better fruit FOR all Ben
ton county and more satisfactory
returns from every orchard.

The Thaw MiStriaI.

Failure of the Thaw jury to
agree upon verdict shows that
"unwritten law" has not so
strong position in the minds of
the people in the East as it has
in the West and South, declares
an Oregonian editorial. Had
Thaw's crime been committed in
this section of the country he
would quite likely have been ac-
quilted !, not because of any ad-
miration for the defendant, but
because of the feeling that White
deserved to be killed and that
Thaw had performed a public
service. Seven men voting tor a
verdict OF murder in the first de-
gree, while five voted for quit
tai, shows that the majority
opinion was adverse to any re-
cognition of the right OF private
vengeance. In the trial of the
case Mr.. Jerome placed special
emphasis upon the absurdity of
the existence OF an unwritten
law. Th evidence in the case
and the instructions given by
the court left little room for a
verdict other than murder in the
first degree or acquital.
After listening to the story of
Evelyn Thaw, which would al
most have moved a heart of stone,
seven men on the jury stood firm
ly for verdict N strict accord
ance with the letter of the law.
The new trial will be held under
conditions rarely if ever known
in this country. How jury
can be found composed of men
who have not read or heard the
evidence and formed and ex-
pressed an opinion is difficult to
understand. A stronger case for
the deiense is impossible, while
there is the possibility that new
evidence may be discovered by
the prosecution or something
may occnr that will deprive
Thaw of some of the sympathy
he has received. That the corn-
t,y should be afflicted with re-
petition of the story is deplorabie,
but under the present plans the
evidence must be rehear-ed be-
fore another jury.

Funegsl IT Mvs. Bardsn.

Mrs. August Barden died at
the home on Water street Friday
morning after suffering a second
stroke of paralysis during the
previous night. Nellie B. Bar
den was born near Ann Arbor,
Michigan, about So years ago.
But little is known of her early
life, save that she was married
to August Barden in Crookston,
Minnesota, about seven years
ago, and came to Corvallis three
or four years ago.
The funeral occurred from the
residence at 2 o'clock Sunday
afternoon, under the auspices of
the Eastern Star lodge of which
deceased was member. The
services were conducted by Rev.
j. R. N. Bell of the Presbyterian
church, and interment was in

Suicide in Albany.

Hanging by the neck from a
rafte1 in the woodshed adjoining
her home, Mrs William Snyder,
wife of a well known resident OF
this city, was found earlv Thurs
day morning, with lite SO nearly
extinct. that she expired a few
minutes after being cut down
from her suspended position.
The woman's feet were almost
touching the grouod and it would
have been posi- ole tor her to
have saved her life had she SO
desired.
Temporary insanity is believed
to have been the cause of Mrs
Snyder's suicide. The woman
was an ardent believer in the
cure of all ills by faith, rather
than medicine, A short time
O she became i'll aud took a
quantity of medicine. When
she regained her health she be-
gan brooding over the fact that
she had not depended upon
''faith" to cure her, and accord
ing to her relatives prayed con-
stantly that she might be forgiv-
en- for using the medicine. 1t is
now believed that her act in tax
ing the medicine, which she be-
lieved sin, weighed upon her
mind to such an extent that sh
decided to commit suicide.-Al-

An urgent need of the VILLAIN
cite Valley and perhaps of other
parts of Oregon also, is more
good dairy COWS. Not only are
crea meries multiplying, but
there is room for more milk con-
de. sing factories, which absorb
great quantities of milk, and so
increase the supply of butter.
Many people who formerly used
milk for every day table use now
use cream, which further de-
pletes the butter supply. and rem
ders the article always high, if
not scarce. says an editorial in

Western Oregon has been pro-
nounced by expert judges to be
the best dairy region III the world
and it should produce not only
enough dairy products of all
kinds fully to supply the home
market, but to afford a large
volume of exports. There is an
unlimited market tor such pro.
ducts, nearer to Oregon than tc
