It Is time to ipr&y fruit trees. Coun
ty Fruit Inspector C. D. 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. , .

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN!
How Close Tho Observer Proprietor
:,' Came to Be Millionaires. (
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. . '
