Huffman calls attention to this fact In signed instruc tions to fruitgrowers, which Is pub lished herewith. As stated In his In structions an early campaign against fruit pests will avail much. Following is some good advice from the Inspector which every . fruitgrower should peruse: " ' Notice to Fruitgrower. As the fire blight ad apple austrac- nose start their deadly work when trees begin to'grow in the spring. It Is Important that spraying for these dis eases be done while the trees are dor mant, or as early In the spring as pos sible. Those having such diseases In their orchards should spray with Bor deeus mixture at once and cut out any limbs Infected with tire blight Any one desiring information relative I to same, please let me know, as It Is far cheaper for you to send me a postal card and let me know just where to come, as that la easier than for the An early, long . and thorough fight against fruit pests will surely pay In clean, marketable crops. , . , j , .

( The proprietors of - The Observer never knew until yesterday how near they came to be millionaires. . Joseph Gaston, one of the early pioneers of the state, who is making a canvass for the nomination of railroad commls sloner, told us the circumstances. .Mr, Gaston and the late Col. George B Currey, father- of Currey Bros., were soldiers togetherand soon after being mustered out Mr. Gaston stated that Col.' Currey, who had campaigned through eastern Washington, realized that in time the Immense water power where the cltyof Bpokane now stand's would be the basis of a large city, and they arranged to go and locate the land. Mr. Gaston came up and re mained as a guest of Colonel Currey a week or more, all prepared to go, but Illness prevented their departure and the trip was postponed until the following spring. But when spring came they were informed that others had located the site. Of course, had these plans matured and they would have had the tenacity to hang on to their holding, which would have been many years before that site was worth more than a $10 cayuse pony, both men would have been many times millionaires today. .
