The clearing up of the title to

advanced yeaterday when a decree
was granted by Judge J. W. Hamil
ton yeaterday by 8. O. Evans author
izing him to aell the property to satis
fy the judgment against the fmpqua
Power, Ice and Development com
pany. This together with an agree
ment of J. C. Alexander to forfeit
the right of redemption untangles
one of the worst knots and not only a
few klnka in the title remain to be
straightened and within a short time
it is believed that the property will
have passed over to Mr. Evans with
out qualification and that the city
park will be assured.
The decree waa taken yesterday by
Attorney iCoahow, representing Mr.
Evans, and provides thut the land
may be sold and the judgment
against tbe company formed by Mr.
Alexander satisfied. Only the right
of sale la provided and no personal
judgment is given.
Mr. Evana baa now succeeded in
foreclosing the defendants . of all

is now endeavoring to foreclose the
last lewal barrier to his complete
title. The Douglas County Light &
Water company still holds a redemp
tion right on-a small amount of the
property. They retain a slight legal
claim which would require consider
able court action to sustain, in the
event it could be sustained, and
would then only amount to a smnll

A yi lKT BIRTHDAY;
THE PRUNE BORER
i. Burr Black Recommends
Orchardists Use Treatment
For Control Pests.
A FORMULA IS GIVEN
WUl Be In RoMhurg lHntrirt Middle
Part of Month to Make E ten
sive Experiment On Six Acres
of Orchard Land.
That whlteaah la the most suitabto
solution for the control of prune
borer is the Information received by
County Fruit Inspector Armstrong
I'rom A. Burr Black, assistant en
tomologist at the Oregon Agricul
tural College, who haa been con
ducting experiments tor the rontiol
of this pest for some rime. White
wash will not completely eradicates
he borer, Mr. Black says, but will
greatly aid In lta control.
He expects to be In the city abo tt
the middle of the month and wIM
continue his experiments. He In-
ends to try whitewash on six acres
of orchard and will watch tbe result
there to determine whether or not
vhltewash can be depended upon to
tain the upper hand of the borer
evil.
In giving instructions to or
chardists the formula used Is given
is follows: Lime 20 pounds, glue 1
round, arsenate of lead (dry) 1
pound, black leaf 40 pounds, 4
ounces. Slack the lime, dissolve the
Tlue In hot water and add to the
line; also add the other ingredients
and mlk thoroughly; add enough
vuter to make a heavy whitewash.
pply with a brush using care to get
he preparation Into all the cracks
of the bark, and well down below
the ground on the roots.
The lime, Mr. Black ssys. should
be a good grade of rock or quick
lime.
"I do not believe we have suffi
cient data to warrant any extonslve
publicity In rerrd to the recom
mendations." Mr. Black nays.
"Where advice Is given I do not
hink there Is anything which would
be setter to recommend- than thn
whitewash, especially if It is In a
very thick condition. However, from
he amount of data we have on hand
I would be somewhat afraid to renl
'v recommend this treatment until
we have further experimented with
't. I am figuring on putting on
-ome six acres of whitewash In the
Roseburg district this summer, and
T will be down there ahout the four
eenth or fifteenth of June to com
mence work.
"In case you do publish the white
wash formula as a rec mmendation
ror borer control, I woud appreciate
it 1f you would make It clear that
we do not claim for this material
absolute control of the borer, but
hat It Is as good as any treatment
hit we know of and la probably tbe
cheapest one."
