lO THE MORNING- OREGOXIAN', SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1010. EXPERT SIS GITY QHGHAHD MENACES Business Should Be Left to People Who Will Take Care : of Their Trees'. OREGON IS HOME OF PEAR Experience Proves That Owner's Personal AUentoii Is Essential. Japanese Labor JIas Been Demonstrated as Failure. It way a fairiy large and intensely in terested aucliemv that listened to an ad dress by Professor P. J. O'Gara yesterday afternoon in the convention hull of the Oomniereiai Club on improved mcUicxls of Iruit jrowinp. Professor ()'G:ira is as Fistafit pathologist of the l-nited States ."Department of Agriculture and has been stationed severttl months; jn Southern Ore Kim.. lie clisetLssed the jjroYVinpr and the dis oasus of fruit. He paid a compliment to fruit conditions in Oregon, sayins this Mate has eoiile to be the only section of the Union where pears are grown stiC tossfully. "Oregon may be called the pear state of the Union," lie said. "Jn all other Mutes where they jjrrw veil at one time the blights have killed them out. You here have reached a point of scientific culture of your fruit which has forestalled .such a condition and this precludes the possibility of it at any future time. ' Culture Deserves Compliment. "1 was up at Hood River the other day and 1 must compliment the residents of that beautiful little valley on the manner of their fruit culture. The same is true of the Willamette Valley, the Rogue Itiver Valley and other .sections." Professor O'Gara urced keeping acreage down to the minimum as to individual iracts and the total elimination of fruit Krowins in tile towns and cities. He dwelt on botlt those subjects at length. "To prevent insidious and infectious diseases from Raining- a hold in fruit dis tricts, should be the chief consideration," lie said. "To this end iirsf we should have good laws and we have them in this state ami the officers to enforce them. Yor instance, people are instructed by the law to spray their fruit at certain periods. That should be enforced. A city the size of Portland should have at least six in spectors. "The 'back yard' orchard 13 the greatest menace to the fruit industry there is. to my mind. There much refuse is dumped and diseases inevitably set in. Then the private orchard of two. three and more trees is so small -that the owner cannot or docs not sivo it the proper attention.' Little spraying is done and little scientific attention is divert the trees. Luseases yet in and spread all over the counti-y. Klig'lit Is Menace. "These 'blights' work in relays, extend ing out all over the. country. It is pos sible for ihem to go an indefinite dis tance. We have traced them from down in California far up into Oregon. This shows tiiat every possible -source of 'blight' " should be carefully guarded and destroyed when found. "As an extra precaution 1 believe that every fruit-bearing tree in the cities of the state should be cut down and replaced with shade trees. People in Hie cities in part gain a livelihood - from the agricul tural interests of the state and should leave the industry alone for that reason, if for no better one. "Our experience has taught us that it is better all around to have small orchard tracts. The 10-acre man in better for the Whole community and, in proportion, to himself than the W-acre one. He is bet ter able to look after his interests than the large holder. One thing we have learned and that is that the orchard must b looked after personally by the owner. "Iabiir is the most important item we have to consider, and owing to the char acter of tlie fruit-growing industry when labor is needed iis need i.m imperative. Corn, can be left, in the husk indefinitely but fruit must be fathered at a certain time or not at all. The Government will not -permit the importation of Chinese and we have learned to our sorrow that Jap anese absolutely will net do. Trust them with a lit tie and by the time you return considerable will be missing. of immi grants. 1 am inclined to favor the Xorth crn Italian. He is industrious and honest To not mistake, however, and secure the Southern or Neapolitan Italian.". BRIDGE IS BADLY WANTED Vuitoii Park Club Discusses Plan for Another Viaduct. At a rousing meeting- of the Fulton Park Improvement Club Thursday night, there was enthusiastic discussion of plans for securing a big steel and concrete bridge to span the Willam ette at South Portland, for the accom modation of rapidly-upbuilding dis tricts, including Capitol., nil 1, uiton lark, on the West Side, and the now thickly-settled territory on the East Side. It was reported that a resolu tion previously drafted by the club, di recting that the City Kngincer be' in structed, to make surveys and draft plans for such a bridge, had been in troduced into the City Council, by Councilman Watkins. The point decided upon by the 'club ns the most advantageous and central for the proposed new South Portland bridge, would place the approach on the Kast Side, aboufhalf way between Di vision and Klls-.vorin streets, and on the West Side, between Sherman and Meade streets. If the Council passe the resolution introduced, immediate estimates of the cost of construction will be urged by South Portland's allied boosters, who will make every en deavor to have the matter of an ap propriation for the proposed bridge placed before the people at the next city election, in November. Among the influential residents and property owners of South Portland and contiguous territory, who are lending their efforts towards securing the pro posed bridge are Dr. W. T. Cottel and Dr. J. Allen Gilbert, both of'wliom own handsome homes in South Portland; M. J. Clohessy and Frank L. MrGulre. who are owners and promoters of the, big-. Capitol Hill district, and many others" GOOD ROADS GREAT NEED Kally to lay Stress on Importance of Early Campaign.

After the sched uled addresses of 'the evening the sub jects will be open for discussion. "I have previously urged a large at tendance at this meeting," said Dr. Andrew C. Smith, the president, last night. "The subject of good roads in Oregon is one that should receive the attention of all our citizens. There is no other public work more needed in this state just now, I urge upon all persons, whether previously interested or not, to attend this meeting.

SENTENCE SELF - IMPOSED Gus Jlartman Sends Himself lo Ilockpile for 20 Days. . Gus Hartman was allowed the priv ilege of passing sentence upon himself by Judge Bennett in Municipal Court yesterday and inflicted a penalty of 20 days on the rockpile as a just retribu tion for his misdemeanor. Hartman was arrested on Wednesday for drunk enness. and begged Judge Bennett to allow him to leave town and go to the Deschutes country. "if 1 come back. Judge, I .don't care how hard you soak me. I'm going; to cut it out and leave town." "How much do you think I ought to give you, Gus. if you do 'come back?" asked Judge Bennett. "You can give me 20 days if you want to," replied Gus. "Well,' cautioned the judge, "if you do come back, remember you have passed sentence upon yourself." Gus was released, but upon his way to the station he;passed one, or perhaps two places where liquor was sold, and the temptation was too strong. He was again arrested and yesterday was or dered by the court to begin serving his self-imposed sentence. STREET BENCHES MUST GO Vsed for Advertising, Tliey Harbor Tra flips and Hoboes. Campaign against benches on the pub lic streets which violate the billposting ordinance and harbor tramps, hoodlums, tobacco-ehewers and peanut-eaters has been commenced by the police depart ment. Eleven reports on the suDject wr-d tiled with Captain Bailey jesiir d tv hy pp lrobnen. A furniture house has distributed at transfer points a large number of the benches, bearing its advertisement. Offi cer Holmes says thy are of flimsy con struction and are eyesores. They violate the billposting ordinance, says Officer Trout. Officer Adams found that they were largely used by hoodlums and tramps. lobacco-chewers and peanut-eaters leave the vicinity a disgust ing puddle of filth, says Officer Galbraith. Drunks, and hoboes congregate " on the bene he's and pass remarks upon women who go by, says Sergeant Smith in his report. The benches, in so far as they violate the ordinance, will bo ordered removed. NEIGHBORS' JANGLE HEARD Women Who Engage in Row Get Suspended Sentence. When neighbor assaults neighbor verb ally and is haled into court for punish ment, the complainant should take care that she comes with clean hands, is the intimation given by Judge Bennett yes terday to the principals 'in a clothes-line war which was threshed out before him. Mrs. R. A. Neilly was the prosecuting witness against Mrs. Mary Shontell, who, she said, had used abusive language to her. Mrs. Shontell told the court that she had applied terms of opprobrium to Mrs. Neilly only after that lady had called her names that were so bad they had to be whispered to the Judge. The parties live on Tibbett street, on the Southern Pacific Railroad, and have been un friendly for some time. 'T shall sentence tlte accused to 30 days' imprisonment," said Judge Bennett, and will also inflict the same penalty on the complaining witness, and the first one who speaks to the other will have to serve out the sentence."

INDICTMENT FOUND AGAINST GUILFORD Charge Is Attempted Bribery in W. C. Morris Embezzle ment Case. GRAND JURY MAKES REPORT Xo Action Xoted as to Sweek or Fouts True Bill Is Returned Against J. II. Smoke in Dyna mite Outrage at Piper Home. t H. A. Guilford was indicted by the county grand Jury last night for brib ery, but no indictments were returned against either Alex Sweek or Seneca louts, the attorneys whom Guilford connected with th case in his confes sion. Neither were "not true bills" re turned in their cases, so it is probable the grand jury has not completed its investigation. Guilford is alleged to have offered H. M. Barton, a Juror in the W. C. Morris embezzlement case, $1000 on May 11, to cause a disagreeemnt and thereby prevent a verdict of guilty. Leo Weingarten was- also indicted for bribery. He is alleged to have of fered a bribe to L. G. Carpenter, a mem ber of the police force, to induce the officer to request the 'dismissal .of a disorderly conduct charge which stood against him. The alleged bribe was $100, and is said to have been offered May 3. John H. Smoke was indicted on two counts for assault with intent to kill. He is alleged to have exploded dyna mite on April 9 with intent to kill Agnes L. Piper. The other charge is that he caused an explosion on April 10, intending to kill his wife, Marga ret Smoke. There was evidently some question as to whether the explosion occurred before or after midnight, so the grand iurv returned two 1nHli-t. ments in order to reach him on one. Porter Munson was indicted for the alleged theft from Ada Lyding on May 12 of a diamond ring worth J200. Henry Harris is alleged to have maintained a uiarepuiaoie nouse April 14. Robert De Witt and James Porter were e 1 en veil v,v t ), vntuvn " . bills" of charges- of murder in the first uegiee. ine cnarge against ue Witt was that he struck Addison Witters over t li e lu:i it cn Anrll 00 .. dangerous weapon, intending to kill urn uu Limi against sorter was that he killed John Countryman, May 10. Blanche Frazor was cleared of a lar ceny charge. She was accused of stealing a diamond worth $300 on May 12 from Mrs. L. J. Wright. One in dictment is withheld from publication. INTEREST IX SALOON DEXIED Fitzgerald Replies to Fouts' Charge of Conspiracy. "I do not own any interest in Bob Patterson's saloon," said Deputy Dis trict Attorney Fitzgerald last night, in answer to Attorney Seneca Fouts' latest charge that there is a conspiracy to im plicate him in the Guilford bribery charges. "It is a fact that Senosky, Kiernan and I are the owners of a quarter block across the corner from the saloon men tioned, and that is as close to Bob Pat terson as our connections reach. That is the whole basis for Fouts' charge that Senosky, Kiernan, Patterson and I are implicated in a conspiracy against him." Senosky and Kiernan also denied that they had any interest in or anything to do with the saloon in question. Attorney Fouts charged, in a state ment made yesterday, that Fitzgerald, Wagner, Senosky and Kiernan concoct ed the conspiracy and that Patterson furnished the man to carry it out. He alleges personal spite as Fitzgerald's motive. The charges against Fonts and Sweek CLATSOP Through Trains Leave Portland GRAND CENTRAL STATION Saturday 8:00 A. II Saturday 6:30 P.

NOVELTY TO BE .SOUGHT Buildings That Took Lead Last Year Set Face for Xcwconiers. Prospective Visitors Are Al ready Visibly Impressed. The dressing up of Portland's down town business district for-the approach ing Rose Festival, now less than two weeks away, began yesterday morning, when a force of men was put to work on the framework of the electric lights that will blaze from the top of the 12 story Wells-Fargo- building. The de sign for the Commercial Club's eight story structure was also begun, and within a few days all the imposing sky scrapers, big department stores, banks and other places of business will be in the hands of the decorators. The managements of both the Wells-Fargo and the Commercial buildings, while ad mitting that their designs will be elec tric and of striking beauty, are mak ing a mystery of the central idea, and until the completed structures blaze out their welcome to Rose Festival visitors on the nicrht before the opening of the celebration, the nature of the greeting will be kept secret. Both the buildings mentioned have had fine displays for the previous cele brations, and have set a pace for the other skyscrapers that probably will in spire many ingenious and attractive de signs. Preparations are being made by all the leading hotels and big stores for decorations of unusual beauty. The Hotel Portland, which already has cap tured enviable Rose Festival laurels, ickets Limit Six Months SATURDAY or Bafore Monday 255 Morrison, Cor. Third.

General interest is being evidenced by all the smaller business establishments of all classes, as well as the more pre tentious firms, and from the data al ready in the hands of Ralph Hoyt, pres ident of the Festival Association, the business center of the city will be dressed more lavishly and more ingen iously for the coming celebration than ever before in its history. The festival spirit has taken firm hold upon Portland people genexally, as at tested by telephone calls and letters of inquiry upon the subject of festival decorations and entries for the parades, and President .Hoyt says that visitors from outside points will have, reason to remember the Rose City as a place of co-operation and enterprise, as well as of prolific bloom.
