DOING LOT OF DAMAGE
Caterpl0ers RaVaging Orchards.
Invading Houses

OLYMPIA, May 29-The gay and
festive caterpillar that at unfrequent
intervals ravages the orchards at this
season of the year is now in his prime
and from devouring the young green
leaves of the trees to dropping down
the backs of the necks of lovers who
lOiter under the cool shade, the rapa-
ciOus worm is now at his liveliest.
Aided by the warm sunshine and 10
hour diet of green's, the caterpillars
have been multiplying like a million
dollars at compound interest. For sew
eral weeks the more Industrious holder
has been cutting off the nests Of the
pests and burning them. or sweeping
them into dust pans and conducting
the obsequies by that means, but their
efforts have been In vain il the worms
were allowed to flourish on trees adj
joining, for in the fullness of their ap-
petite, the caterpillar stops not at line
fences, box hedges or anything.
The recent decision of the supreme
court that put county fruit inspectors
out of job has left the county with no
means of compelling people to destroy
the pests and as result they have al
most threatened the destruction of
neglected orchards in some parts of the
city.
The most of the caterpillars are now
at their most disag reeable state from
human standpoint, as they are migrat-
ing and find their way into every nook
and corner and attack all kinds of veg
citation, to say nothing of invading
homes an making themselves a general
nuisance.
In their present state they are short
lived and in short time will have be-
come more handsome, less destructive
and certainly more acceptable but

ROSE cocHLAN TONIGHT. +,

The play Mrs. Warren's PROFESSION
is generally considered Bernard Shaws
chef d'oevre. 1t combines all the quail
ties which are essential in thoroughly
successful play; ingenuity of plot, SIM
plicity and yet effectiveness of con-
struction, diversity of action, Sc
ouence and consequence in incidental
and episodical illustration, possibility,
probability and plausibility, individual
ization of character, human sympathy
and sustained dramatic interest. In the
very first scene of the play the story
is taken up and it is never dropped
until the final curtain falls. Rose Cogh-
Ian and her excellent associates will
present the play at the Keylor Grand
tonight and it will doubtless prove the
largest drawing attraction this season.

vaIonn,ent OF the Pacific coast. Wash
ington. Oregon and California, ms
to be ranked as one of the wonders
the age. Since the days when the gold
discoveries of California revolutionlZed
tho business interests of the world ana
turned to the Pacific coast, mighty
stream of the most active, virile peo-
ple of America, there has been con-
Itinued and rapid expansion on the other
side of the Rocky Mountains. But
within the last decade that whole re-
gion has moved forward with a mar
velous progress known of in general
but only slightly comprehended IN the
east and elsewhere. A few days ago
one of Wall streets great spectators,
a man who years ago was thoro'"''
familiar with the Pacific coast Wnere
he had lived for some years, returning
from visit to that section after a long
absence, could scarcely find words TO
express his amazement at it's progress.
His failure to keep up with what that
section is doing apply illustrates the
condition Of the whole country east OF
the Rocky Mountains. 1t has been
well said that wall street knows the
price of everything and the value OF
nothing" Wall street, which sets the
pace for much of the east knows COM
paratiyely little of the real foundations
on which American development Is
founded and knows but little of the
mighty changes which are taking place
in the south, in the west and on the
Pacific coast. But Wall street Is not
alone in this ignorance. The great mass
of people east of the Rockies have but
a dim realization of that marvellous
energy and activity which have created
the Empire of the Pacific coast. The
south can far more than match any
other country on earth in its ad-
vantages. In coal and iron and cotton
and other natural resources. in prOx-
unity to the financial and population
centers of the east. with it's great sea-
coast, having on the South Atlantic and
on the gulf nearly onehalf of tho
ports of the United States, it has limit
less possibilities. But, great as has
been its progress. it needs to catch
some thing of that breezy atmosphere
of activity and energy which have
wrought such marvels on the Pacific
slope,
There are certain fundamental rea-
sons for the material upbuilding Of the
territory beyond the Rocky Mountains.
There are certain economic conditions
which have given foundation for ma
terial advancement. Los Angeles, which
Is years ago had a population of about
so. 900 and was threatened with a Sc
rious collapse following a great land
boom. now has about 100000 people,
and is doing things on such a grand
scale that it is figuring on spending
s25. 900. 900 to secure new water sup
ply What Los Angeles Is doing is but
an illustration of what is being done in
many other places on the coast. With
the great activity in the rebuilding of
San Francisco. the vim and energy of
Spokane. Portland and many other
cities, with the great influx of popula-
ton and the vast expansion Of agricul-
tural prosperity. a study of that section
and what it is doing should indeed
prove an inspiration not alone to the
south, but to all America.

y,ilI the Lobster Follow the BuffaIo2

"AvarIce is the prime cause or the pass inc of the lobster. Years ago they were numerous along the New Jersey and Long Island shores; but they have been gradu- ally fished out, until now the supply that reaches the New York and Boston mar ,sets is very largely caught in Canadian waters" says an interesting article In Ap- pletons magazine Canada Is much wiser than the United States in protecting it's fisheries Up to within ten or fifteen wears ago Maine furnished large pro- portion of the Holsters that the New York market demanded but today practically none leave the pine tree state for New Work. and nearly all the canning fac tories that dotted the coast few years ago have been closed on account of in- ability to secure lobstefs. Wholesale and fancy grocers do not quote canned lob sters in their price lists because of the uncertainty of the supply.
 Most of the lobstermen pay not the slightest heed to the law. They catch and market undesized Holsters; some only seven or eight inches long, veritable babies: and when they find a seed lob- ster Ia female in spawn with the eggs incrusted on the under side of the shelD in one of their pots, instead of returning it to the water, as Doth the law and com-

MRS. ROCKEFELLER AND TIPS.
Tale Told In London of How She Was
 Rewarded for Service.
From the London Sketch.

From the London Sketch.
 The wife of MT. John D. Rockefeller, the man who rose from an humble sta tion to be the richest man in the world, with an income which probably ex- ceeds $15 a minute, has a very little known personality. Nevertheless, it is abundantly clear that the great multi millionaire could never have attained to this unique financial position with out her constant help and sympathy. She certainly shares her husbands simplicity of life and his strong reli- gious faith. It has been said that MT. Rockfeller's household expenditure does not exceed a modest $10,000 a year, and 1t Is known that he was long accustomed to teach in Sunday school belonging to the Baptist con- munion.
 Some time ago curious experience befell Mrs. Rockefeller, the occasion being an entertainment given by the family to some forty members of young MT. Rockefeller's Bible class. The members of the millionaires family themselves prepared the meal in the kitchen, the young host and hostess carrying the dishes and Mrs. Rockefel-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-07-07

Ter herself handing around the cups of coffee. It was hot day, and the tray was heavy, but Mrs. Rockefeller had no thought of giving in until all the guests were served. The joke was that one of the guests gravely offered her a tip-which, however, she was not allowed to pocket, for 1t was at once impounded for the church collec- tion! This is worthy to be placed side by side with the story that the Paris Matin, having made a rough calcula- ton of MT, Rockefeller's time, solemn ly offered him check for 5000 francs in payment for an interview of fifteen minutes. This so tickled the million aire that he granted the interview for nothing.

 '"The Maine law prohibits the catching or having in one's possession a lobster under ten and one-half inches in length; but such laws do not exist in other states; consequently, if fisherman or dealer succeeds in getting his Holsters safely over the state line, he is practically safe.
