around I lie edge.
Apple tree Anthraclii:ose is caused by
a parasitic fundus; Ibis (linens lives at
the expense of the tree, the host plant,
absorbing the juices.
The presence or little elevations in
the bark of the cankers is observed in
liiul-summcr, these are at fisrt more or
less conical in shape and thickly scat-
tcree in the sunken area. Ther iirad-
ually enlarge and finally burst the outer

ored mans of fungus titaue, these are

the reproductiva "cells of the fungus
which are very niiiitite, nvinile to the

pistules already described.
Tliey are held together during the dry
wcither by a sticky atib-Unce and Hre
lilK-raicd by trie first fall ruina. when
I they are broadly distributed by wind
and rain, often being carried for long
I distances. Moisture Is necessary for the
growth of these tporea, which under
projicr conditions grow out into slender
tnl'CF, which penetrate the bark of the
apple tree, ramifying in tile tissues, kill
ing them and producing the typical
cankers.
Infection takes place any time after
the fall rains la-gin, the majority of in
fections occur ing during November and
I Hcenlier.
In tieating a f 'nju disease of tin

coven d with roiim fungicidal substance
that will prevent the germinntion of its
spores and so keep the fungus from en

be applied that will kill the fungus and
not kill the lisstvs its well, the treat

II has Itch found by itivea igutor as

In-Hit of the fall rains the application
innv de made any time that the Weather
permits. In serious cases a second
spraying should bj given about two
weeks later than the- firs'. Spraying
alter the middle of December is not

I'.adly infected branches should be
pruned out precte ling the fal'Jspraying.
In young orchards where not two large,
it might be profitable to pare off the
outer bark of the brownish diseased

which in many iiisLinces kills it, per
mitting the wounds to heal over, this
can 1k( practised only iu the early stupes
of the Infection perhaps not later than
the last of lh'cemlier.
The treatment recommended will
entirely control the disease, and should
lie nractised evcrv vear as a mutter ol

is vouug. If this is done no opportunity
will be ottered for the disease to liecom

the Government.
In its bill of complaint the Govern
ment asked that tth'2,300,000 acres of
unsold lands revert back, or that receiv
era be appointed to aell the lands in
compliance with the terms of the grant
If the lands are forfeited to the Gov
eminent, there is li" c doubt but that
the people who have r:i upon them in
good faith would 1 u! wed to remain
and would lie given n pa'ent for the
lands. There are n t ninny settlers on
the railroad lands iu llns county, but
what few there are have some mifchty
line claims and would like to see the
case beetled. Also, if this land is thrown
open it will bring a large number of new
people into the county.
Adjudged Insane
Josepn Welch, aged 50 and a newcomer
from Kricnd, N ibntska, was committed
to the state insane asylum from tbi
county on Wednesday last. Welch ia a
man who was absolutely harmless, but
required constant watching. He wan
red away from his home at Deer
Island, where he was living with bis
son. a week ago Tuesday and came to
lloullon. lie h id taken a gun with
im and his folke th )Ught he was lost in
ihe wirods. and so notified theauthori
ties here. When he arrived in Ilonlton
ha started out to make his presence in
town known. Going to the barber shop
lie got a shave, and atsked Mr. Gerdes if
there was any property in that neigh
Imrhood tor rale. Mr. Gerdes is ia the
real estate business, and has lots all
over this sec'ion, and be thought that
Welch was a newcomer who was looking
for a nice place to mnee a home. He
showed him two bunches of lots, one
wUi HiXJand the other $150, making in
all fH."0, and Welch agreed to iake them
but thought that tha pr ce waa too low
and raid ho would make it f.KX). Money
was absolutely no object to him and
according to himself he had more of it
put away in a back in rriend than all
ol the banks in the State of Oregon con
tain, l'y evening he was so well known
at Ilonlton that Marsh il Long was tak
ing care of him, and be s on graduated
from the little jail at Houlton to the
strong box in the basement of the court
house, llefore lieing picked UD be had
passed several small checks on different
people, but iu the aggregate they will
not amount to more tlnn a few dollars.
Welch, his wife, daughter and grand
daughter are but newcomers here, and
Ins folks are the complainants tn the
matter, as be is undoubtedly insane
The attendants of the O. S I. A. came
down and took him 'awny Wednesday
evening.

THE RAILROAD LANDS
A copy of the speech made by Con
gressman Lall'erty on House Joint Keso
lution No. 121, directing the Attorney
General to employ at least one resident
attorney of the Stale of Oregon as asso
ciate counsel in behalf of the doverii
ment to Kid in the further prosecut'on
of the suit against the Oregon and Cali
fornia Railroad, bis reached the Mist
olllce, and from it anyone can learn a
lot of this case, which Mr. LatUrly des
cribes s the biggest real estate suit
ever filed. All told there are 2,:S00,00i
acres of land involved, and some of it
is among the finest in the state.
This bind was grunted .under an set
of April 20th, 1809, which rend in part
as follows: "And provided further the
lands granted by the act aloresaid shall
lie sold to actual settlers only, in quan
tities uot greater thin one quarter sect
ion only, and for a price not exceeding
fiO per acre.
It is a big suit ond the outcome of st
is hard to foresee. Of course the rail
roads mill light it to the tiiiixlr
Their claim is that the terma of the
grant are so Indefinite that the provisions
aannot be enforced. The present suit
seems to b (or a forfeiture of the land,
I.a-t week was a red letter week in the
lives of the memliers of Mr. Ruther
ford's Sunday School class. Accompnn
ied bv Rev a. A. Heist the boys started
fur Camp Live Wire on the headwaters
of the Clatskanie, Wednesday morning.
The thirteen miles from St. Helens to
the a ip were covert d before noon and
iu a remnrkably short time after arrival
all bauds were full of "ham and
After dinner tents were pitched, cedar
bough beds built, wood gathered, etc
In the evening after dishes had been
washed (and wiped!) and a camp fire
s' si ted, the boys organized themselves
into a eity government. The dignity
of mayor was thrust Upon Cecil Ross.
Mitt McKie and Koy Laws became apt
imitators of ihe best of our city fathers
in the capacity of councilmen. Charles
Smith assumed the role of marshal while
James Adams became the dispenser of
justice by virtue ol his office as recorder.
To lay that all bad a good time doesn't
begin to convey the though ol the boys.
They were true to their class name in
every sense of the woid. From reveille
at 5 ::IU in the morning to retreat at 9 :00
in the evening, there was something do
ing every minute. Of coure most of
the big fish got away but the smaller
ones tasted quite as good.
The climax of fun came with the ses
sion of the recorders court, Friday even
ing. It was a day of judgment to not a
few who were guilty of violating the un
written laws of the camp. Judge Adams
meted out justice with an iron hand anil
more than one had occasion to remem
ber other hands for some time.
At eight o'cloclr, Saturday morning
the compnny began the return 'march
for home but each with the firm resolve
to go again next year. It has now been
definitely determined that the regular
attendants of the class will camp at the
coast next year. Hurrah for the Live
Wires .
