Threshermen Will Meet.

The state officers of the Oregon
Threshers' Association will be in Dal-
las, Saturday, to meet the farmers and
threshermen Of this vicinity for the
purpose of perfecting a local organi-
zation. The aim OF the movement is
to promote the building of better roads
and bridges, and securing other
things which will be of benefit not
only to members of the association,
but to the tax payers of the county at
large. The threshing interests in
Polk county are quite strong and the
threshing acreage is large, and it is
anticipated that these two elements
will combine to build up a strong
organization here. At tomorrow's S
meeting plans will also be made 70 r
sending delegation to the State Con-
yention in Portland in May.

BIENNIAL AFTERMATH.

by DEAN COLLlNS.
There's peace once more in the Statt
House halls,
Since solemn Solons have all escaped
And the moonbeams silver the shin.
ing walls
OF the treasury vault, all bare and
scraped,
The spider spins, with quiet air,
His willy web in the Speaker's chair,
And the settling dust on the Senate
floor
Mounds to the depth Of an inch or
more,
While over the land as a southwind
blows
The popular knockfest comes and
goes.
The office holder without a care,
That is, the one who received his
TaiseJ
Whistles wild melodiOus air
And dreams of peace in the coming
days;
The Normals, standing without prop,
Gaze at their beauteous lemon crop,
While the drowsy drummer covers his
feet
In the flowing folds Of a nine foot
sheet,
And over and over the People sing
We're stung with big four million
sting"
The Governors sanctum sees again
The massacre Of the innocents"
And dead bills fall as the summer
rain,
With none to rally to their defense
Beneath the heavy persistent whacks
And slicing edge Of the veto axe
Remorse nor pity can ever swerve,
They march to the doom that they |
deserve,
While over the country, far and near,
Public Opinion is on its ear
The People howl, as they howled of
yOTe,
or prohigate, prodigal, spendthrift
bills,
Passed by a body that asked for
"more"
And disregarded the larger ills;
The legislator is handed his
La words so hot that they fairly fizz-
he has been untrue to the Peoples
trust"
He has answered init" to the Peoples
must"
Thus over the country, far and near,
The great biennial kick we hear.
Yet after the howls have ceased TO
ring,
And the people have found some
Lever cause,
And zealously hammer some other
thing
Beside the fellows who make the
laws,
And the tempest has sizzled away, why
then
Right gaily We'll do it all over again,
And two years more will revive the
roar,
In the same old key that it rung
before,
While over the land, as a southwind
blows,
The great biennial knockfest goes.

FRUITMEN FEAR PEST
Brown Tail Moth Said To Have Been
Found In Imported Trees From
France.

1t is probable that the care and skill
of E. G. Armstrong, fruit inspector
will result in preventing one OF the
worst pests known to horticulturists,
gettinga startin the Willamette valley.
Recently H. NJ. Williamson, president
of the state board of horticulture, has
been warning fruit men all over the
state to beware OF the Brown Tail moth
in nursery stock kimportedfr from France.
1t seems that this deadly little pest has
attacked French nursery stock this
year with unusual vigor and that
sixty per cent of the French stock
brought into this country is infected.
Yesterday while examining some
seedlings imported by c. E. Lansing.
Mr.. Armstrong found several stocks
that bore apparently plain evidences
OF being infected with this insect The
seedlings were shipped from France
to Salem and had not been opened until /
Mr.. Armstrong began his examina-
tion. The state law requires that rail /
road companies shall not deliver any /
nursery stock imported from outside
the state without having first notified
a fruit inspector. Mr.. Williamson
recently called the attention OF all the
railroad officials to this law, which is
now being carefully observed, with
beneficial results.
The Brown Tail moth and other
pests of a similar nature secured a
foothold in Massachusetts several
years ago and since that time hun
dreds of dollars havebeen expended in
that state to try to get rid of the pests,
which have taken not only fruit trees,
but ornamental and shade trees and
other vegetation.
Mr.. Armstrong has communicated
with Mr.. Williamson and the special
SITS at the 0. A. c., to make sure that
le has found the real Brown Tail
moth, of which, however, there does
lot seem to be much doubt. This is
he first appearance Of this pest on the
Pacific coast and all imported stock
hould be carefully examined.
