tu'es one of Oregon's fruit

spray as follows:
Five pound-s fresh unslack
ed lime, f pounds sulphur
and 15 gallons of water,
slack the lime, using as little
water as possible; mix the
sulphur in water to the con
sistency of paste, and add to
he lime; then add ruore wa
ter and boil in an iron boiler
foi 42 minutes or until the
mixture i a dark red color
tfitb. but little sulphur on the
surface. Wtiile boiling keep
it well stirred, or it will settle
and burn. Then add the
remaining of the tifteeu gal
lons of water, snd strain ;
remove htHJiui Mil. In spray.
ing it is best to hnvt; the
spray warm, and to ue a
coarse nozzle with consider
able force. This spray is
junt as good for ro-e bu-hes
md berry bushes of all kinds
as it is for tl.e orchard.
MAN MUST BUILD AND MAINTAIN
Opportunities for developing
the individual are abundant.
Every relation of man to life de
mands individual effort. Life is
more nearly a battle-field than a
play-ground. No stone can be
lifted above another, to make the
crudest wall or dwelling, but na
ture, represented by her power
of gravitation, strives at once to
pull it down. No structure is
complete before the elements are
at work defacing it. Summer
heat and winter cold expand and
contract materials of every kind
rain and wind wear and warp and
twist; the oxygen of the air
gnaws into stone and iron alike
in a word, all the elements are at
work undoing what man has a
compolished. Man must not only
build he must maintain. It is the
same story in the field of agri
culture. Here, again, must we
battle with nature. We grow
useful grains under artifical con
ditions, combatting the natural
growth of weeds that infest the
fields; wind and rain, blighting
heat and withering cold menace
the crops; the germ of fungoid
pests lurk everywhere, and
myriad insects attact orchard and
meadow and grain fields in de
vasting legions. Exchange.

The Expense of War
During the life of this Republic
the government has spent for all
purposes $21,518,871,351. Of
this sum $10,507,677,135 was de
voted to militarism and only $1,
952,194,210 to the activities of
peace. Over 76 per cent of our
expenditures in 126 years were
for war purposes.
For eight years preceding the
Spanish War, our army and navy
cost $111,000,000; in the past
eight years, over $1,483,000,000,
an increase of $1,072,000,000.
The increase would build fifteen
such wonderful cities as Gary,
Indiana.
It would have paid the national
debt and left a balance of $158,
000,000.
It exceeds twice the highest es
timated cost of all our deep- water
way projects.
It exceeds the estimated cost of
completing all irrigation pro
jects contemplated within a gen
eration. As a legacy of war, the United
States has disbursed in pensions
since 1861 $3,686,461,810.
The report of the United States
Treasurer for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1009, shows that
from receipts of $003,580,48!), the
sum of $441, 370,104 was spent for
war purposes -73. 1 per cent.
Our Supreme Court costs nw v
than $250,tXX) annually.

IN PORTLAN
SeidBack and son are Lead
ers of one of Factions
The Oregonian of Monday has
an article telling of the killing o1
three Chinese in Portland, tin
wounding of several in Seattle
and California. It is stated the
murders are reported to be traced
direct to the murder ot Seid Bing
,i blood relative of Seed Cain, a
chinese lawyer and Seid Back,
kia father a millionare merchant
of Portland. It is generally re
ported that Seid Back is the same
party that owns the big hop yard
opposite Independence and he
has with him a private detective
nt all times. The two tongs "Hop
Sings" and "Bow Lungs" have
lieen at better outs for several
years and the killing was the re
sult of the failure to pay the
amount of money requested as
indemnity for the death, if cer
tain witnesses failed to give
testimony.
