BOAT SERVICE
WITH ASOTIN
Ask 0. R&N. to Establish
One When Riparia Line
Is Opened
Special to Evening Teller.

Special to Evening Teller.
ASOTIN, Wash, March 16-In view
of the fact that the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company, on the compile
ton of its railway line into Lewiston
from Riparia, will possibly have more
boats on it's hands than 1t can utilize
on the lower Snake river, the Asotin
Commercial club has decided to in
augurate a movement with the aid, of
the Lewiston Commercial club, having
for it's object the establishment of a
regular daily boat service between
Lewiston and Asotin-at least one
round trip a day, and two if possible,
that proper connections might be made
with the departure of the various
trains, says the Asotin Sentinel
The club is quite enthusiastic over
this move and it is believed that the
business men of Asotin as wen as those
of Anatone and all points farther back,
who freight from this way, will pledge
themselves to have all their tonnage
Meeting lines if such a service could
be established.
Working Committee Named.
ne W. H. q IN. pSOplG are wen aware
of what the grain tonnage is of Asotin
and upper points but they do not get
to handle pound of the livestock
shipments. With a regular establish
ed steamer service connecting with the
o. r. & N. cars at Lewiston, all live
stock shipments would revert to the
o. R. & N. company Besides these
there would be the passenger and ex-
press traffic, as well as many other
things not here mentioned, that would
make bushes for such a boat service.
George w Bailey William v. Full
! ton. f. Baumeister and Kay L. Thorn
pson were designated as a committee
to work in conjunction with the Lew
iston Commercial club, and together
take this matter up with the proper
railway authorities.
| Whether successful in achievement
or not the movement is worthy of con-
certed effort and all the people are
urged to back up the club and its
| committee.

RECLAMATION
SERVICE PROBEO
Ross and ether Engineers
Are Charged With
CrVOkedneSS

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 16.-
1t developed yesterday that Secretary
Garfield is taking up seriously the
charges made by Special Agent A. r.
Green against D. w. Ross and other
engineers of the reclamation service
in Idaho. which were filed some time
ago.
The secretary refuses absolutely to
discuss the matter, saying the report
of Green is confidential. 1t has been
the policy of the department to always
retain such reportU as secret until
finally investigated or some action
taken pro or con.
1t is stated here that the federal
grand jury, which has been called at
Boise to investigate land fraud mat
tiers, will inquire into the facts alleged
by Green.
Will Prove Charges.
Green's report on Idaho was handed
to Secretary Hitchcock who left 1t for
the new secretary to dispose of.
The reclamation service will look
into the charges thoroughly. although
there is probably little disposition to
believe them true.
The board of engineers will meet at
Boise March 20 to go into the matter.
Friends of Ross allege that the en-
tire matter arises from opposition to
him by local parties connected with
private reclamation projects and was
inspired by the desire of Ross to con-
serve the public interests
Ross Denies Charges.
BOISE, Idaho, March 16.-It is re-
ported that the charges are that Mr..
Ross is financially interested with
contracting firms that have secured
contracts on irrigation projects ana
that in return for favors he has been
literally compensated, one of the
considerations alleged to have been
several acres of land
Ross denies the whole matter in
vigorous lanRlage and demands an
investigation. The two accused con-
tractors on the Deer Flat reserve also
deny the charges

LOOK out FOR
APPLE BORER
Flat Headed Chap Can Put
Orchard to Bad Very
Quickly
Charleston Bureau Evening Teller.

Charleston Bureau Evening Teller.
CHARLESTON, WASH. March 16.-
Charleston will this year have to con-
tend with a pest that is coming into
prominence because of it's wildly spread
ing capacities. The "fiat-haaded ap-
pie borer" is the name of the insect.
1t has already made trouble for the
orchardiscts on the west side of the
state, and because, Of its reputation al
ready gainedw i'll probably try to
make inroads in the south Washington
orchards.
The State college at Pullman has
and found that three fourtts OF the
trees had already been damaged by
the borer
In searching for this pest the meth
cd used by the college experts is to
loosen or cut through the outer bark
Of the tree, and if present the pests
will be found under the bark.
At this time of the year they are
about hree-fourths of an inch long,
with large, fiat heads. If the apple
trees are newly transpianted ones, 1t
will be found that the borer, II at
work, has killed a great many of them.
How to Fight Borer.
| The fiat headed grub is especially
| dangerous, for so stealthily does he
work that often he VIII destroy a tree
before his presence is even suspect
| ed.
! In fighting this nuisance, the meth
| DDS used by the college staff Is to
scrape the trunks of the trees, ana dig
grub out with a knife; then wash the
trunk with a solution of I've or a sim
liar preparation.
The borer is 2 new conner to Wash
ington. but has made remarkable pro-
gress in increasing his kind. The ex-
periment station staff believes that he
is one of the coming problems with
which apple growers of the state will
have to combat, and this is the time
of year that is best in which to get al
him.

MOUNTAIN IS
STILL SLIDING
VIM. Finney Secures Indian
Land for Lots in
CuldeSaC
Special to Evening Teller.

Special to Evening Teller.
CULDESAC, Idaho, March 16--The
railroad company in the big cut is
up against it.
The bottom of the cut raises faster
than the shovels can take it out, so
the company has switched it's survey
and is trying to take out another road
bed along side of the first one.
The hill above, including about three
acres, is cracking and sliding worse
than ever. Some places where there
are large cracks the blue clay is being
forced up to the surface
The water is raising in different
places and as soon as the company gets
1t in control at one place it breaks out
in another, so 1t locke like the whole
hill will have to be removed before a
track can be laid in the cut.
Finney Secures Allotment.
The company is going to put on a
work train and keep taking out this
broken up rock and use 1t for ballast
ing their road
William Finney, whose allotment
lies at the upper end of the town, has
succeeded in getting 80 acres released
by the government, so he can lay them
out in town lots and sell them.
This will be a great help to the town
as there are great many residence
lots in the tract, and it will create a
building boom for that part of the
town.
Culdesac has been surrounded en-
tirely by Indian lands.

ROOSEVELT ON
CLEAN ATHLETICS
What President Roosevelt says:

What President Roosevelt says:
Athletics are good, especially in their
rougher forms, because they tend to
develop courage.
Rowing, baseball, track and field
games, hockey. football are all good.
We should give to the largest pos
sible number of students the oppor-
tunity to take part in vigorous OUT
door games.
No justification for stopping manly
spsrt because it is sometimes abused.
The preparatory schools are able to
keep football clean.
l do not object to game because
1t is rough.
I emphatically disbelieve in seeing
Harvard or any other college turn out
molly Goodies instead of men.
It Is nonsense to abolish a game be-
cause practices grow up which prove
that the game ought to be reformed.
President Eliot says: Football sets
upt he wrong kind of hero-the man
who uses his strength brutally.
To discontinue football. basketball
and hockey at Harvard would do no
harm.
There two clean and honorable
sports-rowing and lawn tennis
Basketball is rough and 1t gives too
many chances for cheating.
The evils of football have descended
into the secondary schools.
Basketball Is objectionable-it is
too rough.
I know football is popular, but the
university would not suffer If there
were no more football.
Violations of rules of football by
coaches, trainers and players are be-
ing constantly perpetrated.

AMERICAN RAILROADS

will go down in railway history as a
year Of unprecedentedly large traffic and

expenditures for material and labor. It
also was a year notably lacking in rail-
way failures and receiVerships. With
exceptions, so few as almost 10 prove
the rule, American railways. large and
small. have earned at least their eX-
penses and interest on their bonds, and
thus have kept out Of the hands OF the
courts. OF the nearly 200 steam rail-
way companies. independent ana sub
