| Definite decision that the timber
framed structure at the Fort Nisqually
site at Du Pont is the Oldest building
in this state, has been made by the
Washington State Historical Society
according to announcement by the
secretary w. p. Bonney For many
years E. l. de Pont de Nemours &
Co., owners of the property have
claimed only that this building was
the Oldest in Puget Sound country
Investigation made by the Historical
society now established the structure
as the Oldest in the state.
These investigations were started
when the concern decided to erect
permanent markers at points of inter
est on the company's property. One
result of the conclusion reached is that
the company will place bronze tablet
on the building and take steps to pre-
serve 1t
For many years 1t was believed that
a building known as the Covington
house at Vancouver, Wash. was the
Oldest in the state. A research COM
pleted recently by the Oregon State
Historical Society showed the Gov
ington house was erected in 1876,
which was three years later than the
time the Nisqually building was
erected.
In the investigations Prof. Edmond
S. Meany of the history department
at the University of Washington was
consulted. He wrote the following
letter to the powder firm:
In reply to your letter of October
30 permit me to say that when Mr..
Bonney asked me whether l knew of
a building older than the old granery
constructed on your property by the
Hudson's Bay Company or It's subsid-
larry, the Puget Sound Agricultural
Company, l replied that l did not
know OF any building in the present
state Of Washington exceeding that
one in age. l am glad to submit this
information to you In writing for pur-
poses Of your records.
please permit me to express the
gratitude of an historian over your
decision to save the old building and
to erect tablets that visitors may
realize the interesting history DE-
veloped at that place, the first home
of white man on Puget Sound.
EDMOND S. MEANY."
The building at Dupont was erected
in 1843 as one of the original group
comprising Fort Nisqually on the re-
located site. No parts of the first
structures, built in 1888 remain.
At first the venerable building
stood in front of the present Old
Town hall, which was the Hudson's
Bay Company factors residence.
Later 1t was moved to it's present site
and served as a granary during. the
time that Edward Higgins, last factor
Of the company, lived at the fort. He
homesteaded the property after 1t
passed into the hands of the United
States government.
The old house is built of hewn tim
bers and rooted with cedar shakes. On
one side are the original shakes put
on in 1S43. The other side was re-
rooted by Higgins. The door and

The Tent Caterpillar

The tent caterpillar is one of the
few really serious native insect enc.
mics of cultivated plants. At times this
caterpillar becomes a serious pest and
then practically disappears for a few
years. This is apparently one Of the
active periods, as the conspicuous tents
are quite common this year, not only
on wild cherry and apple trees, but
also on cultivated fruit trees. The
tent caterpillar is really not dan.
gerous pest to cultivated plants, for
1t liz easily controlled by sprays of
arSeLate Of lead or Paris green. On
small trees where there is only a nest
or two, the insects may be eradicated
by the simple expedient Of removing
the nests and burning or crushing the
mass of Caterpillars.
If one selects a rainy day or early
evening for removing the nests, all
the insects will be at home. On bright
sunny days they will be scattered
about and are more difficult to exter-
inmate. Burning of nests Is some
times practiced, but this is liable
to cause injury to the tree and can
not be recommended as safe prac-
tice. In some parts of the country, in
times of an epidemic of this pest,
school children are employed in col
lecting the egg masses which are to
be found nodded around small twigs.
AS each of these masses contains 200
to 800 eggs, their destruction at this
stage is well worth while.

AS recorded earlier in the season,
ants may be destroyed by pouring a
small quantity of carbon bisulphide
into the opening Of the nest and COW

be killed in the same manner by using
a greater quantity of the chemical.

plant. The insect can be controlled
by a poisoned mash made up of bran,

green, one.half cupful of molasses,
a dash of fruit juice and sufficient
water to make a spongy mass. The

The new Federal Radio Commits
sion, in remapping the air, is play
ing no favorites, according to Rod

communication from Washington.
He suggests the following four points
as the basis upon which the COM
mission determines the public serv-
ice of stations:
j. Mechanical efficiency of sta
lions. This is purely a technical
problem and the commission relies
on reports of Government radio in
spectors.
2. The purely legal question of
priority of right. The courts have
held that the element of priority
enters into the use of a given fire.
quency.
8. The past record of the station
as indicating it's sense Of repsonsi-
bility to the public. If a persistent
wave jumper who does not maintain
his schedules, says he, cannot fix his
broadcasting hours and wants to
broadcast whenever he likes, the
commission is likely to come down on
him like ton of brick in favor of
the station responsible to the public
who delivers on scheduled time.
4. The general character of the
service already rendered. This is
to be determined as to scope and
seriousness of purpose.
