For Over Twenty Year I have Devoted All My Energies and Skill to Treatment of Ailments of MEN ONLY I Guarantee a Core of Every Case I Take for Treatment. No Danger of Over-Production, Says Williamson. Insurance Shows Profitable Growth in Oregon. 10 ciemtific pecsalists CROP IN EAST DECREASES Inertia of Conservatism" Against Older States Community of In terest Necessary to Most Successful Outcome. ' That there is no danger of over-production of the apple crop of the United States for several years to come was the sentiment of W. M. Williamson, secre tary of the State Board of Horticulture, in an address last night before the Port land Applegrowers: Association at the Y. M. V. A. Mr. Williamson stated that while the population of the United States is increas ing at the rate of 2.000,000 a year the tendency for several years will be for the apple crop of that part of the country east of the Rocky Mountains to decrease, and that the people in the cities and on the farms are eating more apples than formerly and are cultivating a taste for apples of the best quality. The speaker gave as his opinion that the Willamette Valley will become the greatest apple-producing district in the world, but that this will not occur till the farmers have awakened to the vast possibilities and the right kind apple raising; communities have been started under the direction of men with brains, who know right methods. Mr. William son said, in part: "It was predicted in 1303 that we were on the verge of an over-production of apples but today we find that the demand is greater than ever and that prices have not decreased. Demand Is Growing. "Kifty years ago people did not eat so many apples as now, and the greatest use for the bulk of the crop was in mak ing cider and apple brandy. People now, on the farms as well as in the cities, have acquired a taste for apples of superior quality, and the demand for lino apples is constantly increasing. "If the number of trees planted in the United States were in proportion to the crop there would be an enormous increase in the production, but the fact is that only Sti.OOO.oi'O barrels were produced from K!4. to 100ft. Willie from 1SS9 to ISM 47. 000.000 barrels were produced. This is mostly the result of the havoc wrought by pests, carelessness and backwardness in the apple-raising districts of the Eastern States. Throughout the Kast. with but one or two exceptions, there has been a constant decline in the quality of apples produced. There are at present only two localities in the Kast which are compet ing with the districts of the Pacific Northwest in apple-raising. These are Orange County, New York, and Virginia. "The Kastern apple-raisers claim a su perior flavor for their apples on account of their climate, but statistics show that in most cases the climatic features claimed to produce fine flavor in the Kast are just the reverse and that the Western conditions are the best. We have drier Summers, less humidity, smaller propor tion of cloudiness and fewer injurious frosts hero than in the Bast. West More Progressive. "The greatest advantage the West has over the Kast is the absence of that Inertia of conservatism.' The Western ers are willing to change for the better and consequently they are going to elim inate the pests and raise superior apples. Methods in apple-raising are revolution ising, as is the case in all. kinds of farm ing. "The bulk of the apple crop will be produced west of the Rocky Mountains in the future, and there is no reason why wc cannot make Oregon the leading apple-growing state in the Union. If this is done it will be because we use our brains. "We must continue to form apple growing communities similar to the Hood River district. People with brains and energy and the right ideas must colonize and form rival districts. "There is no danger of too many apple trees being planted, but on the contrary the danger is that not enough will be planted. "If the bill for a new kind of apple box is passed at the next meeting of the legislature it will mean a loss of $1,000,000 to apple-growers until matters are adjusted again. Expert packers used to the present style of boxes will have to learn the work all over." ASPARAGUS TO BE CANNED Springfield Farmer, Wlto Is Second Burbank, Will Build. SP1UNGF1EIJJ, Or., Jan. 2. ( Special.) George A. Uorris. who supplies fancy Ofparagus to Portland and Seattle markets, which he grows exclusively on his irrigated farm near here, will,- thfs Spring, build a cannery to prepare the plant for Eastern markets. His sup ply. which heretofore has been smaller thHn the demand, will be larger this year. The cannery will be operated by electricity, and ho has arranged with the Eugene manager of the Northwestern Corporation, which supplies lights and power for the two cities, to run a power linn from the plant here to his farm, a dta'ance of about a mile. Mr. Dorris has studied the growing of this plant and is a second Burbank in the scientific way in which he has grown It until it is of an abnormal size and unusual quality. Very little of his crop Is sold in local markets, most of it being shipped to Portland and other Coast cities. The farm is situated on rich bottom land, which overflows every year and i covered with rich sediment. "GOOD ROADS" IS SLOGAN Asotin Men Favor Bond Sale to Im prove 11 1 Rhnaj s. ASOTIN, Wash., Jan. The good roads sentiment throuprVout Asotin Tounty is becoming stronger, and the I'ounty Commissioners of this county ferl it their duty at the next session to take action on the matter. H. C.

WEINHARD-ASTORIA HOTEL, COSTING $150,000. ASTORIA, Jan. 9. (Special.) The Weinhard-Astoria Hotel, being erected at the corner of Twelfth and Duane streets, in this city, by the Wei n hard estate, of Portland, will be a modern and handsomely equipped hostelry, excelling any in the state with the exception of hotels in Portland. The structure is to be 100 by 100 feet, four stories high, with a basement, roof garden and observatory, from which may be obtained a fine view of the river and lower harbor to the ocean. The basement is of reinforced con crete, while the superstructure is being constructed of pressed brick, with terra cotta trimmings. The structure is to be equipped with all modern conveniences, such as steam heat, electric lights, with indi vidual telephones in each room, and is being erected with a view of supplying the wants of the com mercial and tourist trade. C. G. Palmberg has the $100,000 contract for erecting the superstructure. When ready for occupancy, about the middle of the coming Summer, the hotel, with its site and furnishings, will represent an Investment of nearly $150,000. . I x - FARM FAIRS URGE REDS P1UZKS TO BE AWARDED FOR BEST RANCH EXHIBITS. Indians of Xorthwest to Be GiTcn In ducements to Cultivate Their Own Land. LEW1STON, Idaho, Jan. 9. Indian fairs, where premiums will be awarded for the best exhibits of agricultural and horticultural products, poultry and livestock, will be introduced on the In dian reservations of the Northwest as an inducement for the Indians to cul tivate their own land. The premium list also includes awards for fancy work, canned and preserved fruits and cooked foods. Tho fair plan was recommended by the convention of agency superintend ents recently held in Washington, T. C, and the bulletin just received at the l,apwai agency contains portions of the reports of superintendents of agencies where fairs have already been conducted. One of the most interesting reports was submitted by Samuel G. Reynolds, superintendent of the. Crow agency, where fairs have been conducted an nually for the last five years. A few years ago all of the Crow Indians were living in communities and drawing full rations, their time being passed in at tending celebrations, fairs, horse racing and in gambling conducted by the whites. The Indian fair' has re sulted in a complete transformation of the Redskins, and fpr the last four years the Crow Indians have not drawn rations. The plan is a new one on the reserva tions of the Northwest, but the Indians' desire for decorations, attendance at celebrations and fairs where horse racing and other sports are carried on is identical with the Eastern and Middle West tribes, and it is believed by de partment officials that a keen interest in the Indian affairs will be shown on all of the reservations. It is through such influence that the department hopes to eliminate the renting of the Indian allotment lands. "With the re cent order, providing for all rental moneys to be turned into the Indian department, it is believed the farming of Indian land by white farmers will soon cease. CALIFORNIAN BUYS FARM Frank Black Quits South for Oregon City Country. OREGON CITY, Or.. Jan. 9. (Special.) Frank Black, of California, has brought his family to this state to make his future home. Mr. Black, having received some of the literature recently sent out by the Commercial Club of this city, telling of the general advantages of this country, decided to come to Oregon to seek his for tune. . He has purchased a farm south of Ore gon" City, paying over $7000 for it. Others are contemplating coming to Oregon in the Spring, and are in communication with the aeoretary of the Commercial Club, S. P. Davis, and with several local real estate dealers. NO LOG SHORTAGE LIKELY Delay May Be Had Getting Out Tim ber, hut Nothing More. ASTORIA, Jan. 9. (Special.) In speak ing of the log situation in the Columbia River district, one timberman stated to day that while there n.ay be a shortage of logs of certain classes for a time early this Spring, it will not continue long. In support of this? contention he said the cutting capacity of all the mills' on the river is 3.000.0(10 feet per day. The log ging camps owned by the mills have a capacity of ,S00,0i0 feet per day, while the daily capacity of the independent camps is 2.000.000 feet, or of itself equal to the amount cut by the several saw mills. Springfield Wants Industries. SPRINGFIELD. Or.. Jan. 9. (Spe cial.) At its first meeting the new Springfield Commercial Club laid plans for -3 910 promotion worn. A different policy will toe followed this year. The funds will be used to secure new indus. tries ra-tiier than, new residents, and prospective capitalists will be offered factory sites or bonuses for new indus tries. However, the extensive distri bution of advertising and literature will be continued as last year, when 15,000 circulars . were sent out. The solicitors for the promotion fund will begin a systematic canvass of the city Monday. At present the fund stands at something over $400. FARMERS PROMISED ROAD Truck Gardeners Near Aberdeen to Be Given Outlet to Markets. ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 9. (Special.) According to County Commissioner W. G. Hopkins, the County Commissioners expect to spend at least $100,000 for roads during 1910. "We will create an outlet for the Aber deen garden ranchers by building a bridge across the Wishkah River near the gar dens," he said. "This will connect with the road that was intended to connect with the proposed extension of the Bear Gulch road. .We find it cheaper to build the bridge than to fight for right of way-through-the Stewart property on the east bank of the river. The Commissioners, I think, will be perfectly willing to allow the proposed interurban Tine to come over the completed portion of the Bear Gulch road. "We intend to give the North River ranchers the relief they seek without the necessity of calling upon Aberdeen people to contribute, although there will be no objection to letting Aberdeen help if it wants to. I think the entire road to the North River country will be put through this coming Spring. With regard to the proposed road to Westport, it looks to me as though the county cannot at pres ent undertake it, as it would cost in the neighborhood of $160,000." COLUMBIAN APPLE COMING Manor lYuitgrower Says It's Deli cious and Keeps Well. VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 2. (Spe cial.) Oliver Allen, of . Manor, ex County Assessor, has a seedling apple tree in his orchard, the fruit from which is of a fine color, of a delicious flavor and keeps well. Mr. Allen ex pressed the opinion today that the Columbian, which name he has given to the fruit, is the coming apple in this section. O all His apples, Mr. Allen says, this is the one which the neighbors select when they are 'hunting around for the best eating apples. The seed ling is a good yielder and Mr. Allen intends this coming Spring to top-" graft several other trees with ciens from this tree and he will also dis tribute young shoots from the seed ling among Clark County orchardists with a view to propagating this va riety of fruit. FRUIT MEN TO FIGHT FROST Clarkston Valley Men to Use Smudge Pots This Year. ASOTIN", Wash., Jan. 9. (Special.) To render more certain this year the produc tion of a great crop of fruit in the Clark ston Valley, smudge pots will be used more effectively than ever before. The Clarkston fruit men have made a thorough study of the smudging in places having similar climatic conditions. The smudge pots will be used in greater numbers to insure that the frosts will be prevented from operating on the young budded trees. February and early March are months when the Clarkston fruit grower must spend many sleepless nights in giving close attention to his smudge pots: they will burnj petroleum, which emits dense smoke that clings close to the trees, rendering the damaging effect of frost ineffective. . v Poultry Show for La Grande. T;A GRANDE. Or.. Jan. 2. Special.) An organization to be known as the Grande Ronde Poultrymen's Associa tion has been formed, with headquar ters at La Grande, and many of the best fanciers in this section are included in the membership.

ORCHARDS TO BE HEATED JjEWlSrO.V-rLAKKSTOX VALLEV ADOPTS PIjAX. . Order for Carload Placed by Busi ness Men, Arrange for Instruc tion in Vse of Heater. LEW1STON, Idaho, Jan. 9. (Special.) Lewiston and Clarkston business men are providing- a guarantee fund of $5000 for the purchase of orchard heaters to protect the valley fruit crop from dam age by the late Spring frosts. An' order for a carload of the heaters has been placed and mass meetings will be held January 17 and 18 when a heater expert will address the f ruitmen on the use of the heaters. ' The money subscribed will be used by a trustee to purchase the initial ship ment of heaters and as the distribution is made to the growers, the purchase price will be returned to the subscribers. The heaters will be turned over to the growers at actual cost, but after the initial shipment has been exhausted, the growers will purchase their heaters through the regular channels of trade. The pot heater plan is new to the Lewis-ton-Clarkston Valley and it was deemed advisable by the commercial bodies to receive instruction in its use.

W00DARD- CLARKE & CO., DRUGGISTS, PORTLAND. FEES PAID ARE $81,956 Kevenue in 1889 Was $6004 Only Ten Per Cent of Companies Are Local Good Underwriting Profit Shown. SALEM, Or., Jan. 9. (Special.) The revenues of the state from its insur ance department show a great Increase in the past few years, according to figures contained in a statement Just issued by Insurance Commissioner Sam Kozer. ' During 1909 insurance companies paid in taxes, licenses and fees $81, 956.74. Of this amount $55,837.42 was a tax of 2 per cent onthe net premiums of foreign companies for their J90S business. In the past year there has been a large Increase in business and as losses have not been severe,, a large increase from this source is expected when the returns are received from the 1910 business. The rapidity with which the insurance business of the state has grown is shown by he fact that in 1S89 the fees amounted to only $6004.19. In 1900 this had grown to $35,098.53. 170 Concerns in State. There are now 170 companies and as sociations duly licensed to transact in surance " business in Oregon, Of this number 81 stock companies are'writing Are insurance, 18 marine insurance, 38 life insurance,' 26 accident insurance. 16 health insurance, 10 liability insurance, 11 fidelity insurance and surety bonds, 13 burglary insurance, 13 plate glass insurance, 6 steam boiler insurance, 2 sprinkler leakage insurance, 7 work man's collective insurance, 5 flywheel insurance, 1 livestock insurance, 1 title insurance, 12 domestic associations are engaged In writing mutual Are insur ance and several of the companies are writing automobile insurance under their marine licenses. The fees paid by the respective com panies for their licenses for 1910 amount to $18,670,-.and the license fees paid at the beginning of the year 1909 amounted to only $7800. This gain is accounted for by the increase in the annual license fee of fire insurance companies from $50 to $150 and in the increased number of companies to which licenses have been granted. The resident general agents of the companies which are authorized i- Ore gon almost . without,, exception report a successful year arid an increase in the volume of business over that for the preceding year. Losses have been under the average, and the business should show a good underwriting profit. Ivocal Companies Are Few. Of the 170 companies and associa tions which are doing business in Ore gon only three life companies, one casualty company, one title company and . 12 mutual fire associations are Oregon corporations. The , remainder are corporations of other states and countries and a great percentage, therefore, of the Insurance business of the state is written by outside com panies. In 1909 two foreign fire insurance companies withdrew, two life insur ance companies were incorporated un der the Oregon laws and one of these qualified for a license to transact busi ness; one fire-insurance company was incorporated in the state, and one mu tual fire insurance association was or ganized and received a certificate to do a fire insurance business on the mutual plan. Six life insurance com panies, 25 fire insurance companies, two marine insurance companies, seven surety companies and two casualty companies of other states and coun tries were licensed to transact business in the year 1909, which would Indicate that the managers of outside insurance companies consider Oregon a good field in which to extend their operations. Other insurance companies have signi fied their intention of applying for li censes during the present year. On account of delay in securing the blanks for rendering the annual state ment of the insurance companies it will not be possible to forward them to the resident general agents until some time during the coming week. The work of preparing them can then be prosecuted by all the companies without delay. Upon the filing of their annual statements for the year 1909 all insurance companies and associa tions are required to publish immedi- THAT ARE AILING, NERV OUS AND RUN DOWN Come " to Me and Be Cured Pay' " When I Cure YouM or pay me as you crct the benefit of my THE DOCTOR treatment.
