Grass-hoppers have caused con-
siderable damage, particularly in
the north-end of the valley. Most
damage was done to alfalfa fields,
causing the loss of one crop of al
falfa. However, there was consid-
cradle damage to melons, according
to the monthly report of B. A. Har-
rigan, county agricultural commits
sioner.
A total of II, ,655 pounds of poison
bran was mixed under the super
vision of the agricultural commits
sioner and distributed over the in
tested area. Through the cooper
alton of the board of supervisors
and the r. F. c. organization it
was possible to mix and spread this
poison over all infested areas at a
very nominal cost.
Good results were obtained and
the infestation rapidly checked
where this poison bait was used.
Cantaloupe shipments for the
month amounted to 1179 carloads.
This is much lighter than May,

damage from mildew and contin-
ued cold weather and winds. These
fields have been practically aban-
doned Quality of first shipments
was not of the best but later ship
ments are of very good quality.

PIRATE GRAFT
LEAKING BADLY.
BY JACK CUDDY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 8. - The
Pittsburgh Pirates, who doomed
through most of the early season
with their jolly Rodger nailed to
the peak of the National League
mast, have walked the plank seven
times in their last eight contests.
Their batters are afflicted with
scatteritis" their fielders have
fumblitis'', their pitchers are on
parade.
Pittsburgh is getting plenty of
hits; 76 in eight games. But they
were scattered SO that they result
ed in only % runs, while opposing
clubs converted 81 hits into 49 tai
lies. Pirate fielders booted IL err
rors while rival players made only
one. No Corsair pitcher went the
route. 81 parading to the mound
against IL opposing Fingers.
The Pirates lost their third game
in four starts against Chicago yes
terday, to 2. The Cubs punched
II hits off four pitchers for bursts
of four runs in the second and
three in the sixth inning. Bill
urges homer with a mate aboard
featured the first rally Babe Her
man made two triples, a double, a
walk and a sacrifice for a perfect
day at bat.
In the only other National game
scheduled, Boston downed the Phil
lies, 3 to /, when JUMBO Elliott
blew up in the seventh and eighth
frames, allowing the three tallies.
Chicago replaced Washington al
second position in the American
League by beating st. Louis, 4 to l
Al Simmons home run gave Chi
cago its first tally in the seconc
| frame.
A heavy windstorm and darkness
broke up the game between Wash
ington and Philadelphia with tht
Senators leadip,; IA to 13 in thu
10th, the score reverting to 13-1;
deadlock.
Detroit beat Cleveland, 3 to l

PROOF that new
FACE POWDER WON'T
MAKE BLOTCHES

Many face powders are made out OF Cos
metics which darken when the oil in the per-
spiration strikes them.
Perspiration comes out through the open
ings Of your pores and the oil along with it..
Every pore which is giving out oil is dark
ening the powder around the opening OF the
pores. Thus you have dark spots around the
pores and white spots between them, making
an ugly, dolby face of blotehes, especially
on the nose.
The new Mello-elo Face Powder contains
none of these inferior cosmetics which are SO
easily darkened by the oil in your perspiration.
Prove il for yourself. Powder one side of your
nose with another powder. Powder the. other
side with the new Mello-glo. In five minutes,
let your mirror give you the answer.
We challenge the world TO produce a finer
and more luxurious face powder than the new
Mello-glo. The new Mello.glo formula is the
formula used by the most exclusive cosmeti-
Clans in New York and Paris.
You don't buy face powder TO make your
face look dolby and blotchy. Therefore, do
not waste your money on powders that you
are not sure of. Ask for Mello-glo Face Pow
der by name. Look for the name Mello-glo
Face Powder on the gold box. Refuse the
unfair offer of something Just as good.
which may blotch your face. Ask for Mello-glc

.CALEX|CO MAY
PLAY IN FINAL
Protest By Covington Throws
San Diego Out OF c. |. F.
Championship.

LOS ANGELES, June 8. U.P)-
San Diego high schools baseball
team, which was to have met the
nine representing Santa Maria high
school Saturday for the Southern
California championship, has been
withdrawn from competition and
its right to play forfeited because
of the use of ineligible players, Seth
F. Van Patten, c. /. F, commits
sioner, disclosed today.
San Diego had entered the final
round of play by defeating Herbert
Hoover high of Glendale and Call
eXico high school.
Calexico charged that Chet
Smith, pitcher, and Henry Smith,
shortstop of the San Diego team,
had played semi-profeSsional base
ball in El Centre last year against
team from Yuma, Ariz., under
assumed names.
Without the necessity for a
lengthy investigation, principal
John Azeltine OF San Diego high
announced the school would for
felt its coast league title and its
playoff victories.
Van Patten indicated that Cal
exico high would replace San Diego
in the playoffs, meeting Santa
Maria Saturday, but withheld def
! mite announcement.
Coach Ed Covington, Of Calexlco
high school, protested the playing
of the Smith brothers by San Di-
ego high scool in the game at Cal
exico last Friday wich San Diego
won, 6 to 0. Covington did not pro-
test the result of the game, but
, did contend San Diego was not hv-
| ing up to the rules in using tbs
Smith brothers in their lineup. The
brothers played several games las
summer for the Maggie Fat BOY
| team of this city.

in half a game of the leading Port
land Beavers, defeated by Missions.
Shellenback was opposed the
route by Phil Page. From the
fourth to the 18th they battled on
even terms with neither team able
to score. From the ninth to the
final frame, Shellenback yielded a
single hit. Two batsmen touched
him in that inning but the threat
was repealed.
The Stars went out to win in
their half of the frame. They ac-
complished it with a pair of sin
giles, an infield tap and walk, in
terspersed with a pair of stolen
bases by Jacobs and Tobin.
Johnny Babich, promising young
hurler of the Missions club, held
the Beavers to 7 hits as the Reds
romped to a 7 to l victory. Ba-
bich s displayed weakness in only
one inning-the fifth-when two
hits and base on balls drove in
Portland's single run. Koupal,
losing Portland hurler, curiously
was the only batsman able to solve
Babich S delivery, driving out two
hits in two trips to the plate.
Mailho'S infield single in the
ninth gave Oakland a 3 to vic
tory over San Francisco. The
Oaks also had scored a run in the
eighth. Salinsen shaded Slime in
the mound duel, allowing the Seals
seven hit while Stine was touched
for eight.
Sacramento lost additional ground
in it's trip to keep pace with the
leaders, losing night game to Los
Angeles, 7 to a. The Angels batted
Gillick and Salvo for IA hits. They
polished off their victory by scor-
ing two runs in the ninth. The
Senators confined their scoring to

JULY CRUDE OIL
OUTPUT Up

Reports to the Bureau of Mines
show output of crude petroleum
in the United States during July.
1898, totaled 84,387, 900 barrels.
This represents a daily average
of 2,722,O00 barrels, which is
10000 barrels below the daily
average of June, but $4,000 bar
rels, or 81 per cent, above the
average for a year ago.
The chief reason for the decline
in daily average was that the
tank-car movement from the East
Texas field practically ceased
and the daily average output Of
the field declined to $4,000 bar
rels, or nearly 100000 barrels be-
low the daily average of the pre-
vious month. Practically all Of
the other major producing areas
showed increased output in July.
The consumption of crude at
refineries rose to 2,565 900 bar
rels daily, the highest point in
nearly two years. However, re-
finable crude stocks continued
to increase, amounting to $780,
$4,000 barrels on July 81, COM
pared with 348, 8,197,000 barrels on
hand the first Of the month.
The daily average production
of motor fuel reached a new high
for the year of 100000 barrels.
This record resulted entirely from
increased crude, as the yield OF
gasoline declined from 44.7 per
cent in June to 43.7 per cent in

Trading Professional
The market is highly profes-
sional, there being very little
public following.
1t Is not only dull, with q small
volume Of trading, but also it
is narrow, there being relatively
few issues appearing on the
tape.
Furthermore, it is a "thin"

which much buying or selling
appears. The bid and asked
quotations are generally far
apart, and the asked quotations
much above actual selling prices.

OF doubt and divergent views.
Probably market test is not
distant. I would guess that If
there is no break by Thursday,

Contracts Scarce
Contracts were not plentiful

Traders commented on the
small volume of hedge and South
ern selling which put in an ap-
pearance through the early trad

TACT that an announcement was
momentarily expected from Wash

273,000 more bales of American
