Abont the San Jose Scale.
The Dalles, October 20, 1891.'
Editor of the Chronicle: i
In the Oregonian under date of the
23rd inst., a statement is made by Mr.
S. A. Clarke that "During a recent visit
to this place he was informed that some
fruit growers confessed that the Sau Jose
scale, had a footing there, but did not
think it was doing much harm, owing to
the presence of lady-bugs there in great
numbers?, as they devoured all insect
pests."
The facts, in the ease may be' stated
plainly that nearly all the gardens in
the city, and many of the largest- or
chards for several miles about it-, are
overrun- with the scale, that many have
been cut down and destroyed, and, in
our opinion, many more must snare tne
same fate before we shall be rid of the
scale. We would be glad to know that
our little friends the lady-bugs were
here in great numbers," but suchls
not the case, and tne rapid spread of the
scale tn this vicinitv this season leads to
the conclusion that our orchards are
doomed to destrcution if we rely upon
the increase of lady-bugs alone to save
them. ..r
Mr. Clarke also states that he 'was
amusec' (?)tohear the follow tng story
at the expense of Mr. Varney, the horti
cultural champion, and inspector of
fruit pests in Oregon." "Some one
found the scale in Mr. Yarney's nursery
and it became current that the scale was
there. Mr. Varney came to one of
our pomological meetings and stated
that a certain person had industriously
circulated such a report to his injury,
that he and his men had .searched dilli-
gently for the scale and found none, and
asked that some members of the society
might be delegated to go and examine
his nursery and offered to pay for the
work."
We, the writers of this article, visited
Mr. Varney's place, and found no scale
in his nursery proper, but :did find a
very few scales on two bearing ' orchard
trees.
Mr. Clarke further says : "The com
mittee was duly appointed and made the
inspection, -to find the first tree they ex
amined fairly covered with scale.
While the scale pests were found by the"
wholesale, nothing has been heard np .to
date, of the promised fee of $10."
in justice . to Mr. V arney we sav tnat
the above statement is false, for he
promptly tendered us the promised $10,
at the time, and as promptly extermi
nated the scale in those trees, as we
learned by-later inspection.
Mr. arney s reputation as a fruit
grower, as a state omcial, and as an es
teemed citizen will suffer nothing in
this community by the attacks of S. A.
Clarke, and his "reliable informant,"
who is felso well known here.

steady decline of our trade we have or
ganized a steamboat line to Portland, a
i thimr which was made possible by the
niy ! f 4 1. i-nanAnet K.. wnanna if a
portage. The difficulty with this enter
prise, hower, is that there is very little
traffic between here and Portland, and
what business onr steamboat line gets
is practically confined to this city; the
Union Pacific has reduced its rates from
here to Portland, and will undoubtedly
keep it up until onr steamboats are pos
sibly run off the route. All our eggs,
unfortunately, are in one basket, and
that basnet is right, here. If our boats
had tome connection with navigation eal
of the dalles and along the Upper Snake
and Columbia rivers, they would receive
traffic from points which are not readied
by the Union Pacific railroad at all;
traffic sufficient to more than pay expenses
and to help the navigation company
through periods of hostility with the Union
Pacific. It is all very well for us to kick
asainst the opening of the Columbia
river, simply because we cannot get the
portage road on the south side of the
river. If any of our citizens who are so
shortsighted and so loud in their de
nunciation of a portage railroad on the
north side of the river could take a trip
east, or to some lareo city and discuss
the situation with persons who have no
bias ond no local interests, they would
find that no capitalist would invest his
money in a portage road ;on tne sontii
side of the river, for the simple reason
that the investment Would become ut
terly void the moment - anything was
done on the north side of the river; this
is because whatever developments are
likely to be niade, either by the United
States government or by some large sys
tem of railway, will happen on the north
side, a portage on that side . would
become a part, of such a system, or
wonld become necessary to the United I
States government and the investment
will be safe. I will not enter at this
time upon the question of the merits,
from an engineering point, of either the
five mile route .or of the scheme of par
alleling the Union Pacific with the port
age. To my mind it is immaterial, as a
financial proportion, whether such
schemes are practical or not. Now, as
I see it, the benefit which would come to
our people by the establishing of a ter
minus of a portgge road here is very
little, and would amount . to nothing
more than the wages of a few hands used
in making the transfer from the portage
to the steamers, which would amount to
but a few-hundred dollars per month,
not enough to make ..any' noise about;
but let us see how it would effect this
city if we had cheap transportation by
some rival line, both from Portland here
and again from here into the interior of
Oregon and . Washington. Assuming
that our merchants have the capital, the
industry and the qualifications to com
mand the trade, (and they have), could
they not by means of competitive roads
extend their trade further than they are
doing now, and if in connection with
this we should be able to build a narrow
gauge road into the country, would it
not be better to do that than to persist
in fighting the opening of the Columbia
river? Whether the Columbia River
and Navigation . company builds its
portage road on the north side of the
river or not,- it is'quite "certain that
somebody will build it sooner or later,
and if not a private corporation, the
United States government. Of course
some of our residents would prefer not to
see the river opened at all,' but even
upon that basis can we stand in the
way of the entire states of Washing
ton and Oregon very ' long in this
matter? Every one is entitled
to fight for his interests, but can we,
handful of people, retard the business of
the northwest, simply because it hurts
ue? I certainly think not, and I do not
think that it will he long before every
one will do as I do, that it is not even
true that our interests would be inter
fered with by opening the Columbia
river. Unless the people representing
the Columbia Railway and Navigation
company have less brains than I think
they have, we could easily, make ar
rangements by which they will locate
their terminus opposite- this town. We
could easily make an arrangement to
have them make a traffic contract with
our steamboats between here and Port
land. The Dalles has a start now, it
has capital and an industrious people,
and I am willing to take my chances
with any other place in this vicinity.
, The difference whether the terminus of
! a Dortace railroad was located here f as
suming that we wanted a portage rail
road) or whether that terminus- was on
the other side of the river, Is trifling; it
would amount to perhaps 25 cents a ion
at the outside, and furthermore, what
merchandise was distribnted could be
landed here by steamers just as well as
on the other side of the river, while such
merchandise m would need to be hand
led on the other side of the river could
be handled by our merchants there as
well us here. ' If is a question, as I see

WASCO ACABKMY NOTES,
The second Latin class is just through
with Caesar. The final examination
was given yesterday. . They will read
Vireil as their next author, instead of
Cicero.
The debating society held a spirited
debate last Friday after school on the
subject of the competition of conict labor
with free labor. The weight of argument
was decidedly against such opposition.
Rumor has it that certain boys from
the city are planing some malicious mis
chief in connection with the Hallowe'en
social next Saturday evening. Although
under no obligation to do so, the Geome
try class, which gives the social, has
made special provision for the reception
andentertainment of nil who interfere
in anyway with their guests. We hope
the rumor will prove unfounded.
Interest in out-of-door sports has cul-;
minated in the formation of a base ball
association in connection with the acad
emy. A committee appointed to draft a
constitution reported Monday last.
Their report with a few slight changes
was adopted, and the following officers
elected President,JAlbert P. O'Leary
vice-president, Lyman . Lee ; secre
tary-treasurer, Clyde T. Bonney ; man
ager, Jesse W. Allen. Henceforth all
games, etc. will be under the auspices of
the association..
We must remind Player, whoso com
mnnication appeared in a recent issue of
the Times-Mountaineer, that he has a de
fective memory. The city nine could
hardly win "three or four games" from
the academy team during a reason when
the latter received but one defeat, and
that by a score of 15 to 14. Again, be
forgets that he personally gave a chal
lenge to one of our players and made an
oral agreement with our manager to play
us three games, as was previously stated
in the "Notes," We hope he will stand
by his offer in the Mountaineer and give
ns a game at an early date. '

Moody's "Wheat Ferried Free.
Union Pacific men report that their
Dalles boats are doing a largely increased
business on account of their recent cut
in passenger rates. The statements
made in Dalles papers that the Union
Pacific was buying up all the wheat
there so as to insnre the transportation
of it for their heats has aroused consid
erable comment here. The exact prop
osition is not credited, for nobody be
lieves the Union Pacific has any money
to spare for such purposes. But the
opinion is entertained that some induce
ment is offered Moody, by which he is
able to outbid the other dealers.- Com
mission men here will not say anything
for publication, but admit that their
consignments of grain from ..there have

market price, including the freight
would justify. A Portland gentleman,
who was in The Dalles Tuesday, was
told that the "company's agent" was
Eaying the same price for wheat that it
rought in Portland. It was stated
Saturday by a gentleman on the inside
that the cause of Moody's advantage is
that the railroad company ferries his
wheat across the river at The Dalles for
nothing.
The company s boats are still said to
be running at a loss. . The D. S. Baker,
which runs above the Cascades, is said
to have been maintained at a loss of
$200 to $300 a month. When General
Manager Clark was complained to
abont it, he said : '-'I know it is running
at a loss, bnt the people of The Dalles
want it, and we must keep it up."
From a company standpoint, therefore
it is hard to see how two lines are to
make money when one could not. Ore

brought to this office yesterday six head
of cabbage which he raised on his stock
ranch amid the dry hills , east of the
Des Chutes, nearly opposite the Mutton
monntainsnd some fifteen hundred feet
above the level of the sea. They nearly
filled the bed of a lumber wagon. One
of them was placed in the Chronicle
exhibit in our office show window and
the remaining five were ranged outside
on the sidewalk. During t lie two hours
they were allowed to remain on the side
walk a constant stream of friendly Teu
tons came pouring into the office headed
by Mat Blazen and Sain Klein inquiring
the price of sauer krout, till the editor
was compelled to wave them off with
the exclamation, "Get away you Dutch
men ! Get away yon Dutchmen!" We
refer to this matter now in order to Ray
that it is not true, as was reported last
night that the Chronicle has changed
editors and that a dntcbuian now runs
the great paper. . We are still at the

mains unchanged. Now is the time to
