gamit their trial in connection with
the killing of Anna Iipizxo during the

In a comparatively mild degree

the scene enacted lat winter.
Some nf the more eager Htrikcra, in
attempting to get worker to leave
their machines, caused alight disturb
anres in several mill. I'.eports of
injuries to operatives were received
hy the police, but none were eriously
hurt. Cluh were flourished to intim

Of the 12. 'KlO operative who quit

" We are unable to control thu peo

in event of a majority sentiment in

Soles a.M Instructions from AurUvltural Colleges and Experiment Station
of Oregon anj Washington, Specially Suitable to I'acific Coast Condition!
LOGANBERRY BUSINESS GROWS
Prof. Lewis Gelt Many Inquiries Re
garding Thi Fruit.
Corvalli, Or. Kvery mail bring
inquiries a to the proper method of
growintf loganberries, to Prof. C. I.
Lewis, horticulturist at the Oregon
Agricultural college, indicating the
great interest that has been aroused
as to thi crop, and the rapid growth
of the industry.
" During the paat two or three years
the loganberry has como to the front
very materially in Oregon," gay
Prof. Lewis, discussing tha matter.
"In former years it was thought that
the industry wa overdone. The berry
did not ship well, and was very tart,
partly because it was picked too
early. It was also found that, in the
early days, it was impossible to can
the berry. With the introduction of
the lacquered can, however, it can
now be canned successfully.
"The berry can also be dried, and
there is now a greater demand than
the supply ran meet. It is doubtful
whether we can fill the demand for
this berry within the next ten years.
Some of the growers have contracted
their supply for the next eight years.
The price received is tH a ton, and
the average yield i four or five tons
to the acre. From such prices one
can net from $200 to $250.
" We have not tried to enlarge our
markets to any extent. At the pres
ent time in the Middle West the logan
berry i:i rapidly becoming the leading
pie berry. Not only is there a great
demand for the canned und dried
berry, but there is also a good demand
for the juice. I am looking forward
to the time when we will send out
carloads of this juice to the East for
soda fountain use.
"The loganberry will grow on a
great variety of soils, from the heavi
est adobe to the river bottom loams.
It will also do well on the red hill
lands. The ground should be given
good preparation before planting,
since the loganberry is an exception
ally heavy feeder.
"There is auch a great demand for
plants that many grower are putting
out worthless ones. If possible one
should get good strong rooted tips or
else vigorous one-year-old plants. The
distance for planting loganberries is
8xS feet. It will be sometime before
it will be settled definitely what dis
tance and methods of training and
pruning are best for this plant. We
are conducting a number of experi
ments hers at the station and shall be
able to give some definite results in a
few years.
"I luring the first year the plants
should be given good tillage. They
will not make much grawth before the
full months, so by the next spring
they will have to be trained. We
generally put down ceJar post. The
first wire is 2 feet from the ground,
the second at or near the top of the
post. A very good wire for stringing
i the No. 12 galvanized iron wire.
The row are generally run north and
south so as to give a good distribution
nf sunlight and allow fur maximum
yield.
"There are many methods used in
training the vine on the wires. Some
growers practice the twining together
of two or three fruit canes, fastening
them in a bundle to the wires. Others
start the canes out in fan shap. One
of the best systems that we have seen
winds the young canes in among the
wires so that the next year the fruit
ing ennes cover almost the entire area
that the wires allow.
"About the only pruning is the cut
ting out of the old canes. It i better
to cut these out as soon as the fruiting
season is over, thus minimizing any
danger from disease. I have not found
anyone who has tried the different
methods of training under the same
conditions, so it is very hard to say
which system is the best. I believe
the best advice I can give is to plant
the bushes 6 or 8 feet apart and grow
them as trailers.
"The loganberry makes a splendid
proposition as a filler, and goes very
nicely with the prune, as the work
for the two crops does not come at the
same time of the year. The logan
berry can also be dried in the same
dryer with the prune, thus allowing a
greater interest on the investment
tied up in the evaporator. The logan
berry is dried somewhat faster than
the prune, taking from 16 to 24 hours.
"There seem to be very few trouble
some insects a ni only one disease,
cane anthracnose. which attacks oth
er than cane fruits. The present out
look is certainly very bright, and
there seems to be indication that we
will have a tremendous output before
very long."
Foreseeing; All Trouble.

It's a pity you ever married me. I'm
sorry for the por children hie.
Now, for the Lord's sake, let me come

Verona's Municipal Pigeon.
' The municipality of Verona has ex
pended 60 liras (two pounds) in ac
quiring grain for the pigeons of the
city. Having thus become state sup- j
ported, they are immune from the mo-1
testations of wanton destroyers, who
will now be punishable by law.
Finger Print in Banks.
Herman banks, according to news
paper dispatches, have begun to intro
duce the finger print as a mark of
identification on check. The method
is already in use in thia country.
Sura Flea Killer,
A sure way to get rid of fleas and
other Insects is to use pennyroyal oil.
Spray the nil over the animal to be
cleaned and over any place where in
sect are bothersome. The odor of
this oil has great penetrative powers
and no insects nr animals will remain
long in its vicinity.

PEST IN CLOVER SEED.
Form-
Midea Which Prevents Seed
ing Found in Oregon.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
valli For the first time in Oregon
report of the ravages of Dasyneura
l.eguminicola Lint, the clover seed
midge, are coming to the Oregon Ag
ricultural college, and its abundance
indicates that it has been in the state
for mime season undetected. A. L.
lovett, of the crop peat force of the
Oregon Agricultural college, is mak
ing a study of it.
"The injury consists in the preven
tion of the formation of the seed,"
says Mr. Lovett. "The larvae enter
the flower buds and feed on the con
tents of the ovaries of the flowrets.
The injury becomes serious the second
season, and increases each year the
field is allowed to run.
"The pest is present through the
majority of the states where red clo
ver is grown, and has also been re
ported from Ontario and from Eng
land. The red clover is the favorite
host plant, but the white clover and
alsike are also attacked and possibly
the mammoth clover as well.
"The adult female fly is so small
and active that it is seldom seen in
the field. It has a single pair of
wings, long slender legs and a pinkish
body. Under the miroscope the head
and dorsal surface of the thorax are
either black or dusky, and the abdo
men salmon pink with smoky shades.
It is about two millimeters long;
when the ovipositor is extended it is
nearly six millimeter in length.
"In the Middle West its natural
enemies are numerous. If the pest is
serious and a crop of seed is desired,
several methods may be used to con
trol the injury by varying the time of
formation of the clover head. Pastur
ing the field in the spring or early
summer destroys the midges and
varies the time cf the main cutting for
seed. The crop of clover hay may be
cut early, insuring a heavy seed crop
with a slight reduction in the yield of
hay. The seed crop may be mowed
back just after it starts, delaying the
heading sufficiently to miss the second
brooding of flies.
"In a report on the presence of this
insect near Portland, the maggots
were found in numbers in mangers
where clover hay was being fed. As
far as we have been able to discover,
the presence of the maggot does not
lessen tho volume of the hay mater
ially and is not detrimental to stock."
SHOULD NOT EXPORT GRAIN
Expert Says Big Mistake In Not
Feeding Livestock.
Portland, Or. That Oregon is mak
ing a great mistake in exporting its
grain instead of feeding it to live
stock, is the belief of Dr. James
Withycombe, ditctor of the experi
ment Btation at the Oregon Agricul
tural College, expressed strongly in a
recent address before the Portland Ad
vertising club.
He pointed out the fact that there
are ten million acres of dairy land in
Oregon, and that two acres can sup
port a cow. Thus five million cows,
each worth a $100 profit annually, or
five hundred million dollars altogeth
er, in profit each year to the state,
could be fed on this land.
P.y feeding the grain instead of ex
porting it. Dr. Withycombe estimates
that the farmer would get fifty cents
more a bushel, or, on a crop of fifteen
million bushels for the state. $7,500,
000. The export of $101,000,000
worth of dairy produce, bacon and
eggs from Denmark, which supports
a population of 2.600,000, under try
ing climatic conditions, proves con
clusively what can be done under riRht
management. Oregon, with its fine
climate and rich variety of soils,
should be able to do even better.
Beauty of Woodwork.
There is a friendly atmoppere in
the presence of much woodwork not
painted wood, but wood finished to
show the beauty of its natural growth
that is entirely lost in an expanse
of smooth, hard paint. Its mellow
light and soft shades form a far more
restful background than any papered
surface, and its strength and durabil
ity make a wood finish ideal for a
house that is to suggest the feeling of
permanence and stability that belongs
to the true home. Suburban Life.
Help and Be Happy.
Happiness is not a task. It is not
even an occupation. It is a quality of
life. Happiness depends on helpful
ness. That's the reason joy is social.
Helpfulnes keep happiness because
it adds to the area of affection.
People are not happy when they seek
after happiness. They become steeped
in happiness when they undertake to
promote the joy of others. Walter
Williams.
Still Unexplored,
All the opportunities for adventure
are not over, though the north and
south poles have both been conquered.
In Africa there are 20,000,0000 square
miles of land as yet unexplored. In
Liberia a tract of 20,000 rquare miles
which is unknown.
Meaning Money.
"Now my. son, I sm giving you all
the chance in the world to take a
liberal education." "Right, dad, and
I'll take it as fast as you can afford
to send it on."
Selfish Philosophy.
"You can be a great hero' said the
campaign adviser, "by standing aside
and letting someone else have the of
fice you wanted." "Yes," replied
the energetic candidate. "But the
other fellow will get all the medals
and applause. What's the use of be
ing an anonymous hero?"

lias become In certain respects the
most enthralling of all the Roman
sights. It has often been called the
Pompeii of Latium," and certainly
it Is the only other place In Italy
where one can ramble about the streets
ot a town of the empire with no mod
ern architecture to Intrude on one's
dream. The ruins .however, differ
reatly frcm those of Pompeii, because
the ancient character and purpose of
Ostla were different. The latter town
was a bustling seaport with a cosmo
politan Industrial population neither
leisured enough to Indulge private ar
tistic tastes nor much disposed to
them. The world's capital, only a
few miles distant, was the natural
home of Ostlans of wealth or culture.
But If we cannot see at Ostla the
painted rooms and the courtyards set
with statuary, which make Pompeii
so attractive, we can see the frame
work of a more vigorous and momen
tous life, which makes a strong ap
peal to the Imagination of anyone who
has ever considered, however vague
ly, what the Roman empire meant.
Streets Filled Pp.
The extraordinarily "untouched Btate
in which the Ostia of the late im
perial age has been preserved to our
lime la due to two agents, sand-drift
and malaria. Silt brought down to
the Tiber mouth, dried, pulverized, and
wind-borne, has gradually filled up
streets and ruined buildings deserted
by men because of the fevers which
were bred from choked-up harbors
and channels of the river. Partly for
fear of these fevers, partly because
Civlta Vecchla was found, ultimately,
to be the better port for Rome, no con
siderable population has ever return
ed to Ostla, not even during a tempo
rary revival In the fifteenth century,
when the existing papal castle was
built. The town had from the first a
precarious existence. Its life was
given to It by the Tiber, but the Ti
ber could not be trusted. The river
silted up its harbors one after the oth
er, and silted up Itself. The port
from which navies sailed to the Pu
nic wars had become usel'is by the
time of Augustus, and Claudius first
and Trajan after him. bad to dig out
new basins at enormous expense some
distance away to the north, and cut
connecting channels, which the river
proceeded to silt up as of old. In the
end it proved Impossible (or not worth
while) to keep any port open Into
which the main current of the Tiber
flowed; and If Trajan's fossa, or canal,
dredged out anew by Pope Paul V., In
the early seventeenth century. Is still
navigable for small craft working up
to Rome, It Is a channel only, and
the huge spreading basins, that of
Trajan as well as that of Claudius,
are dry. Just because the river treat
ed these new harbors as badly
as the old. Ostla managed to main
tain Its life, and even to develop It,
for some centuries longer, and only
succumbed In the competition with
Civlta Vecchia (a new creation of
Trajan's) after tho empire has
become Christian. If It had no prop
er baBln for ships. It had always the
main channel of tho Tiber flowing past
Its walls, and bad passage as this of

Gen. Witifleld Scott was a notable
figure In the Washington society of
60 years ago described by Mrs. Marl
on Gouverneur In her entertaining
volume of reminiscences, "As I re
member." The general was some
thing of an epicure. Mrs. Gouverneur
recalls seeing him elt down with great
satisfaction to a meal consisting prin
cipally of Jowl. Ho did tho family
marketing personally, and was dis
criminating in the selection of food.
Terrapin, which he Insisted upon pro
nouncing tarrapln, was his favorite
dish, and he would order oysters by
the barrel from Norfolk. On one oc
casion he attended a banquet where
all the states of the I'nlon were repre
sented by a dish In sonio way charac
teristic of each commonwealth. Penn
sylvania was represented by a bowl
of sauerkraut, and In speaking of the
fact the next morning the general re
marked: "I partook of it with tears
In my eyes."
Conserved Food Disease.
Dr. Jacques Lloulvlllo, who was
part ot the staff of the antarctlo si-
or Trajanlc canals. Therefore, we
find that In the second and third
centuries. A. D., it was still
worth while to erect great ware
houses and long, narrow sheds for
ships on the river bank, and that
flourishing guilds, whose busliness lay
with shipping, existed In Ostia. Such
were the associations of boatmen,
lightermen, and divers, whose official
records have been found cut on stone;
but the importance of the last-named
is in Itself a witness to the difficulties
against which the port was struggling.
For these divers bad neither sponges
nor pearls to seek, but the cargoes of
vessels which might be wrecked on
tho dangerous bar of the estuary or
the sand-banks of the channel. In one
way or another, however, Ostla kept a
lively trade, and a polyglot population
which bought and sold In the serried
shops lining Its paved streets. The
religious cults of tha place are alone
enough to show how variegated the
crowd must have been. Vulcan, the
original tod of the place, who bad
presided over Its metal-workers since
the days of tho early kings (as Romans
loved to believe), had had to accept a
Berious rival In Phrygian Cybele, and
other competitors In Syrian Mithras,
and Egyptian Iris and Seraphis, as
well as the Hebrew Yahweh, whose
worshipers dwelt thickly about the
new Claudlan and Trajanlc basins.
Wealth and Temples.
And all this population had to hare
Its places of amusement, as well as its
temples, and there was wealth enough
to decorate these with statutary which
the Graeco-Roman artists ot the me
tropolis probably supplied. Among
the best examples that have survived
to be found In the recent excavations
are a bead cf Aphrodite, and a full
length of a priestess, complete except
for the right hand, and that nose-tip
which has been chipped oft ninety la
a hundred ancient statues which still
exist. She makes a gracious, ma
tronly figure which, let us hope, did
something to civilize the shrieking
Levantine mob of Ostia. The main
place of recreation, the Theater, built
of brick with Btone facing. In the
Roman manner, is, relatively, less well
preserved than the shops and houses.
A big, upstanding building, it was
a more obvious and profitable quarry
for mediaeval builders. Nor had it
been well treated In the imperial
times. A summary restoration In the
time of Honorius did much to obliter
ate the more worthy work of the third
century emperors. The clearance ot
the city is still going on, year by year,
at the expense of the Italian govern
ment, and the absent public Is kept
informed of constant discoveries by
Signor Vaglierl's reports in the Notl
zle degll Scavi, the most systematic
and unfailing record which any coun
try Issues concerning the recovery ot
its past. But no reading of many re
ports Is worth a tingle visit to the
ruins themselves, and those visitors to
Rome who neglect to take the electric
line to Ostla and to spend at least an
afternoon in Its Forum and streets
will miss one of the most Interesting
places in Italy.
Faults.
To acknowledge our faults when we
are blamed in modesty; to discover
them to one's friends, in Ingenuous
ness, is confidence; but to preach
them to all the world. If one does not
take care, is pride. Confucius.
