Tho American Beet Sugar Associa
tion Is not a bit backward In demand
ing that the sugar schedule of the
tariff be revised upward, though It
will probably bo BatlHfled If It hm't
lowered. And there are others and
a big bunch of them.
That Oregon is moving right along
and was not In the least affected by
the financial flurry Is evidenced by
the report of State Labor Commis
sioner Holt, recently filed with the
secretary of state. It shows that 272
new manufacturing plants were In
stalled, with only 87 Htandlng Idie.
The 272 now plants employ over
three times as many men us those
Idle, and the great majority of the
Idle plants will start in operation

Uvo. Jones, Jr., Writes a HtroiiK let
ter to Portland Journal.
HOSKBURO, Or., Nov. 12. To the
Editor of The Journal: As a duly
elected member of what Is to be the
Twonty-flfth assembly of the Oregon
legislature, I beg leave to exprem
through your columns my scntlmentp
In regard to what the Oregonlnn dubn
"A Hunting Question, " fin to whethei
or not George E. Chamberlain shal'
be our -next United Htates senator,
and further to resent a number of
flings made at the majority of that
body who signed Statement No. 1
among whom I am preud to be clas
sed as a member.
I ask space In your columns not be
cause T agree with you In all of yout
political views, but because I consldei
The Journal the only metropolltai
dally newspaper In Oregon of cxtens
Ive circulation that will give the plali
people a square deal In this matter
According to The Orcgonlan and 1 It
accosHory, The Dalles OptlmtHt, thr
man who was elected to the login
lature on Stutement No. 1 is Indeed
J n a bad hole. To hear them tell 1'
he 1b down on his knecB with hi!
hands tied and no room to rise, will
a poisoned pickle between his tectl.
and his eyes lifted to heaven In oik
plaintive wall for help. Our dllentmi
to voice them Is an appeal to nl'
Christian nations to look with ben
evolent mercy on such hopeless oh
Jects of pity.
Hut let us see.
Has Harvey Scott, your esteemet
contemporary and tho editor of tha'
great and good morning paper, tin
Oregonlan, tho only (?) paper oi
tho Pacific coast that wsb planted li
the soil of civic virtue and received
Its ovonlng showers from tho foun
tain of Justice, huge morning glory!
I say, has Harvey Scott any Interest
In this matter other than to give the
people of Oregon a little light or
matters as they stand, from the stand
point of a disinterested party?
I.et us hold him up to tho sky for
a moment and dissect his motives. I
Did Harvey Scott ever try to of
elected a senator from Oregon? We
bellovo ho did. And how? Hy buy
ing It.
If ho did not, why does he not sue
Lincoln Hteffens for libel? Sterffens
who Is one of the moBt noted and re
liable writers of tho present day or
topics high In tho public eye, snyp
ho did. and that he offered $2i.(mo
and the federal patronage of tho Ore
gonlan to attain his object.
Of course Mr. Scott denies It mere
ly, but this Is only the flrnt Impulse
of thecullty. Any small boy caught
stealing melons or apples would say
tho Ha mo thing. Why does he not
sue? 1b It because he loves his ene
mies and is willing that they should
put him through much tribulation?
In other woMs, does he mean to kill
them with kindness, or 1b It because
the necessary proceedings that would
follow a suit for libel against Mr.
Hteffens would only expose and trlng
to light the very acts on the part of
Mr. Hcott that Mr. Hteffens nccuseH
him of?
At any rnte they are raining n
great howl against the people'F
cholco for senator In an evident en
deavor to pull off a few weak-kneed
statement men and defeat the will
of tho people.
The Oregonlon's recent editorial on
the six stages of how we attained the
will of tho people Rounds chltdlnh.
and If his quoted definition of patriot
ism as the last report of a scoundrel
wero true, It might show Mr. Scott
to be a very patriotic man.
And then our friend from The
Dalles In his optlmlMtlc Optimist must
pour oil on the troubled waters.
The different methods ho nuggetM
for a Statement No. 1 man to evade
his pledge and betray his state and
country would moke poor old Bene
dict Arnold blush with shame, and
the man who would get sick or be
bribed to leavo (he couatry on a pro
position of this kind htttf better make
himself scarce forevr aftar.
Senator Abraham and myself are
the two members who signed the
Btatement from Douglas county, and
did we meditate anything of the kind
we would expect from the people here
nothing less than a coat of tnr and
feathers and a limited time to g
out of the country, and Judging from
reports from other parts of the Mat
i:ohody else would fare any better.
Then why are these fantastic per
iodicals urging the member. Iepid
lican and Democrat, to down Cham
berlaln, nd quoting the supreme
court of North Dakota? What do we
care about the supreme court of
Nurth Dakota? Haven't we gut a
supreme court lu Oregon Just as good
a theirs?
Besides, what man In Oregon, be
he ever so populur, can honorably
take the field? Can Fulton do It? Ac-
coidlng to the Oregonlan he ha?
a Ifi ltd that he will put up ail the
f.hl ho can. He did that In Hi?
primary and was defeated, and had he
bvMii successful In the primary ani
th(n lost out In the June election
would he have bad the gall to have
mt.de a fight In the legislature? His
being a candidate now would amouni
to the same thing, and for that rea
son wo defy Senator Fulton to e'ick
his hand lu.
Then, who has this fanio.is Soil
wood republican club got to riprlng?
Of course there are lots of good
and honorable men In Orepoa who
ant worthy of this high office, out,
tiko Judge Lowell, they have too high
a tenet! of honor to attempt to rea en
It o(roSB a field of broken nleles
that would bring our state Into J'u
giare and dishonor In the eyt-i of the
vctld.
We have the banner system In the
country today In the way of re'oi.ii
politics, and nearly the whole United
5'ntes are clanio-ing for whal we
have, regardless of what thj Ore
gcnian may say, and what is more,
we are going to keep It with a little
'mprovetnent on It. Meanwhile let
th coyotes howl ffte sheep niv in
the fold. GlCOKCirc JONES.
HOOHTING PAYS BIO.
Medrorri leiilers Have Sold $1,500,
OOO Worth of Property.
Since the first of January the
sales of orchard lands and farm prop
erty made through tho agency of
Medford people has reached the tidy
sum or $1 ,ri0,000, Bays the Medford
Mall. This does not Include sales of
2lty property, which would Increase
the aggregate sum between J 100,000
and $200,000.
In this estimate, which was made
yesterday by a number of prominent
real estate men, who had met casu
ally and naturally got to "talking
shop." and Includes only property In
i radius of twelve miles of this city.
It does not Include antes by other
han parties living In Medford. There
have been sales, of course, made h
:eal estate men In other towns, bul
ih oho are not Included.
During tho year 1908, up to the
(resent writing nearly every large
re hard In this radius has changed
lands, the two exceptions being the
turrull and the Hopkins orchards,
tn every case tho price has been a
substantial advanco over that origin
illy paid. One case of how values in
reaso Is shown lu tho sales of the
llasgow & Kngiish orchard near Cen
rul I'olnt. II. C. (larnott and W. M.
Holmes purchased It the llrst of the
ear for $10,000. They sold It In a
diort time to Glasgow & Kngiish for
1 15,000 and recently It has been sold
again for $20,000. An Increase In
aluo of 100 per cent In less than n
year.
This Is not tha only Instance of
; really Increased values in orchard
'nnds. There are lots more of them
One place near Talent the Brock
man place was sold originally for
$4500, resold for $7r00, and the
present owner has been offered $8,
000, but refused to mil.
In 1 107 the agregato Bales were a
little over $500,000, Just about one
third what they havo been to date
'his yenr. How Is that for growth In
volume of business? If all of us
urn Id increase our business returns
300 per cent In a year, we would be
lotng pretty well, thank you.
The banner sale for hearing or
hnrds was that of the Lewis, whl'-h
brought $160,000. Dr. Picket's 401
orchard, not yet In bearing, comes
next at $1 10,000. The ramous 11111
crest, Perkins' orchard, sold for $78,
000. The Hybee river ranch brought
$37,000 cash. This farm Is what
might be termed undeveloped.
Tho Patterson much, near Talent,
was purchased by Dr. Page a few
months ago for $52. G00, and Dr.
'age has since been offered $80,-
000, but declined to sell.
Mr. Hnndall and his associates,
who purchased the Pellet t orchard,
paying $00,000 therefor, havo added
That our Atnrirau rornsli aliourd h
plants which possetta (he most vuluault
medicinal virtues Is abundantly attested
by Mores of tho most eminent niedlrul
writer and teacher, tiven tho untu
tored Indians had discovered tho useful
ness of ninny native plant befnro tht
advftntof llm white race. This Inform
Won, I tn parted freely lu the while, led
tho latter to contlnuo Invent! nations until
to-day we havo a rich assortment of most
valuable American mod ie In a I root.

Treatment of Douglas and Ijtke
Flocks Closes CanipaJn.
PENDLETON, Or., Nov. 16. For
two weeks 11 Inspectors under the
direction of Dr. 8. W. McClure, of
the Kederal Hureau of Animal ImluH -
ii j, iino uvL-u uiuiig mw iiucab i
of Oregon for trace of scabies or I
other sheep diseases, but so far they
have not been successful. This Bhows
that the campaign of eradication
which was Inaugurated less than two
years ago was entirely satisfactory.
Though not a single diseased sheep
has been found so far, the work of
inspection will be continued until
every band In the state has been sub-1
Jected to an examination. It Is now
believed, however, that no scabby
sheep will be found, though early In
the summer there were a few Isolated
cases In Lake and Douglas counties.
These were treated as soon as dis
covered..
Though Oregon sheep were prob
ably tho worst Infested with scabies
of any state In the union two years
ago, Dr. McClure stated at that time
that he would clean up the sheep of
the state within two years and this
Inspection seems to Indicate that he
has kept his promise.
A TIMKIiY SUOOKHTION.
Now Ib tho time to Bpray orchnrds,
cspeoliilly apple treea that are affect
ed with Dead Spot ( Anthracnose).
The fall ralng have freed the spores
that form on the outBide of the dead
spot and they germinate during this
month. Tho sulphur and lime solu
tion. If properly applied, will prevent
the spread or this pest. Also the fall
is the bebt time to spray for San Jose
scale, many of which are but thinly
coated at IIiIh time of the year.
Trees should be dry when spray Is
applied and if thirty minutes is nl
lowed for spray to dry on the trees
before a rain it will remuin all win
ter. Sprny now; do not wait for the
rainy, blustery weather of March
and April.
