Tbe above is tbe title b! Bulle tin No. 81 prepared by E R Lake. Horticulturist and Botan ist, issued by ike Oregon Agri cultural College in July 1904, containing 41 pages, with tbe t6xt illustrated by 13 line balf tone cuts and numerous figures and diagrams. This bulletin contains much information both useful and in teresting to apple growers aud will be forwarded free to any or chard ist wbo will apply therefor in person or by letter or postal card, giving name and address of writer and directed to James Withcombe, director, of Experi ment Station, Corvallis, Oregon. Tbe Observer is pleased to ac knowledge the reoeipt of this bulletin on this Monday morn ing, and from its perusal can assure our readers that it will repay, them well for sending for it. The history of tbe apple in Oregon is given, first, the seed ling grown from seeds by tbe Hudson Bay Company and missionaries, second, from a box of grafts brought across the plains by Henderson Luelling in 1847, is one of interest. HERMITS IN BLUE MOUNTAINS The shaded forest, tbe deep dark canyons, the dashing wat erfalls that constitute tbe char acteristics of that great land swell called the Blue mountains, work a spell of mystery on tbe human mind and makes it for get its human affinities and find its greatest pleasure in commun ing with the eternal silenoa that broods over the grand uplift, broken only by the lew murmur of the breeze that barps with the needles of the lofty pines, or the faint sound of falling water far down in darksome canyons. This spell of reticense worked on the Indians and they called it Spirit Hill, about which, in tbe mythical long ago, the gathered for silent worship of the great spirit, who iu their simple faith ruled the universe voiceless with an omnipresent all seeing eye. It was this potenoy of silence that wooed Ihe classic scholar, Torn Hill, from the lore he had gathered at the great university of Harvard, Massachusetts, from civilization and books, aud oausea mm to apeou years 1 1 A ! . solitary Iudian fashioned lodge ' ma secluded canyon in wei Blue mountains. When the missionaries reached Eastern Oregon in 1886, the Indians, told tbem in awesome whispers I of the hermit of tbe Blue mountains, and they saw the annual couclaves of Indians winding tbeir noiseless way up the mountain sleeps to Spirit Hill to worship the Ood of si lence at his chosen alUr. The spirit of the Blue moun tains did not depart with tho ro.luian. A gentleman return ing to La Grande from a two weeks outing high up iu the Blue mountains a tew days ago, reports that far out in its shad owy heights he came upon the cabin of a solitary mau, who for 30 years had resided there, delv. ing for gold and communing with tbe eternal silence of his surrounnings, Here he hal dwelt for more than a quarter of a century and no woman or child bad crossed bis threshold. His faithful watch dog and oompaniou knew not woinau 01 child, and when tome ladies and ' '1 ; -1- -J .-I -- .LJ.J. children bad ventured in s'gli' of the caliin, he became fiifinu! 48 be would at the approach of ravenous boast, and it look much time and. coaxing before hr could be mado to realiss lint no strange and tluuEeroii. aui muU were come to batm his matter. But the hermit was ( happy and pined not for humati !,.,.,, ..nmnahin I r f If Union county as at present constituted, cannot support one set of county officials without running behind bow do the agitators of the county division idea expect it to support two? Wi'h a county indebtedness o. 200,000 to pay iuterest on now it looks like the taxpayers would be clow about endorsing any scheme that will add anything to the present heavy burden tbey are carrying. There is on ly one thing to be accomplished by adopting the proposed county division scheme and that h the gratification of the selfish pro pensities of a few residents of Union, who don't appear dis posed to quietly submit - to the disappointment they inflicted on the people of Lt Grande thirty years ago. While the )os of tho county eal is doubtless a bitter disappointment to many people of Union they should nevertheless gracefully sul mit to tbe will of the majority and devote their attention to the de velopment of the nalural re sources of their town and to as sist in wiping nut our present public indebtedness, instead of attempting to keep the old county seat fight alive that has been al most continually before our people for the past thirty years Elgin Recorder. - The voters as a rule believed the new primary law adopted al the last general election to be a good one or they would not have voted for it. Now that it is a law aud we will have to abide by the provisions of it, every voter should secure one of the hun dreds of the printed laws scat tered throughout and read it carefully and we believe who ever reads it, will become con vinced that it is a better law than he supposed it was when he voted for it If the voters will post themselves upon the requirements it makes if almost impossible for auy schemer or schemers to manipulate nomina tions. It also means that it will he nearly impossible for any factiou to use underhanded means to control the primaries. It means much for the repub lican party of this county aud we will be very much disap pointed if we ever again see the conditions that have existed in prior years The last election proved conclusively what can be accomplished by a united parly and tbe new primary law will greatly assist iu holding the party together and as we bave made a good start in this direction there is no reason t heliev0 U)at there wi be j: ,i,onr, f , Leturn to , that-for 9 proved so disaster- 0(S The World's Fair Route Those anticipntinit an Knstern trip, or visit to the Louisiana run-bust) expo Bitlon at St. Louis, cannot aifnrd to overlook the advantages oll'erod hy the Mibbocvi Pacific Railway, whieh, on Kocoun. of iU various routes and tgatcd ways, has beit appropriately names The World's Fair Koala.'
