J. LEWIS IS RECOMMENDED Clackamas County to Have , , New Fruit Inspe:tor. J. H REID HAS RESIGNED Horticultural Society Has In teresting Meeting With Talks on Fruit Growing. A. J. Lewis, an aotive hortioultur alist of this city, was Saturday rec ommended for the appointment to the position of county fruit inspeotor, whioh has been vacated by the resig nation of Oonnty Frnit Inspeotor J. H. Beid, of Miiwankie. The Clackamas County Horticul tural Sooiety unanimously adduced a resolution requesting the county oourt to name Mr. Lewis. The society also adopted a resolution by a unanimous vote, recommending the appointment of a profesgor of horticulture at the Oregon Agricultural College. Saturday's meeting was well at tended, and among other subjects dis cussed were the value of spraying and the best methods of marketing traits. J. H. Keid talked on "The San Jose Scale and How to Best Olieok It," advocating a vigorous campaign and declaring the necessity of a system to eradicate the pest. H. M. Williamson, editor ol a Portland farm journal, spoke on "The Old Apple Orchard," and Horticultural Commissioner Newell's subject was Spraying." J. W. Grasle, of Mil- waukie, a well known fruit grower of this county, said that the opportunity for apple growing is unequaled in this county, and held that all that is neo essary to insure the successful culture of apples is to follow the correct treatment of trees. Mr. Newell reoommendea the Bald win as the best variety lor Willamette valley growers, with the Jonathan and Northern Spy as seoond choice. fil. is. Harvey, ol Milwaukie, gave a practical demonstration of pruning trees, both at the roots and tops. The Meeting In Detail. ' On motion of A. J. Lewis, the fol lowing resolution was adopted : "Whereas, We have at present no professor of horticulture in the Agri cultural college at Corvallis, and be lieving in the importance of a thor ough and scientific enlightenment along these lines and in view of the increasing interest and expressed de sire for more acourate aud reliable in formation on all horticultural sub jects; therefore be it "Resolved, That we, as members of the Clackamas County Horticultural Sooiety, urge upon the board of ie gents the advisability of adding a pro fessor of horticulture to the faonlty, believing it will be to the advantage of the college as well as to the state. Hon. J. T. Apperson, ns a member of the board of regents, stated that the board proposed to add such a professor as soon as they oould find a suitable candidate. "Apple Growing in Clackamas County," was ably disoussedbv J. W. Grasle, of Milwaukie, who said ' in part: "A great deal depends upon how an or o hard is planted. There must be clean, vigorous, young trees, properly trimmed, and planted into soil suitably prepared." He scored severely the neglected orchards, which only serve as breeding places for the pests that make it so difficult for earnest planters to succeed. Buy ers are in the market lor qu wtity as well as quality. Apples that brought him 1.25 per box would readily have sold for $2, if they could be had in sufficiently large quantities. We must give our apple orchards the same care and attention time we give to any thing else in which men succeed. He advocated a south slope and vigorous pruning, in order to secure good size and good color. Apples poorly packed spoil the market for well-packed and good fruit. ' Apples must also he thinned. There is no market lor 5-tier apples. Thin when fruit is of the size of waluuts, then again later. Apples should not touch on he tree that is where the oodlin moth gets in its work. He ieoommendB the Webster apple, originated in Clacka mas county, as one of the best keepers. Apples should not be planted closer than 25 feet, and 30 feet is better. "For winter spray use the lime, sulphur and salt 15 pounds o each. Just before the bud opens, spray with blue vitrol five pounds to 150 gal lons. " After lunoh, Fruit Inspector J. H. Reid spoke of the exhibit to be made at the next meeting of the state society. There will be cups for Northern Spy, Spitzenberg, Yellow Newton, Jonathan, Arkansas Black, Waggner and Winesap 21 apples each to compete for cup. Handsome prizes for Gravenstein, Ortley, Lady, Ben Davis, Hyde's King, Red-Cheek Pippin. Cups for first commercial exhibit of five exhibits 21 apples each ; second cup for same. Oup for English walnuts. Mr. Reid spoke at length of the San Jose scale and how to check its rav ages. He said : "Get your spray so fine that it will not run. Don't use a uczzle more than one season. Professor Cordley recoramonds that nozzle shall be dis carded after three weeks use; it wears out experiments are to be made in spraying potatoes this year to increase yield and prevent blight. Plots will be sprayed at Klsley's, New Era, - . j j"i i i . . r UHDor son uresnam. H. M. Williamson gave an excellent talk on the "Uid Apple Orchard." He spoke of the early beginnings of horticulture in the Northwest as the result of the pioneer work of Hender son Luelling at Milwaukie and drew a striking comparison between the time when apples sold here for fl eaoh and the $3 per pound, and the pres ent disgraceful condition of our neg lected orchards. ' He said : "The U. S. Census credits Claoka mas oounty witli 267,486 apple trees, which yield only 26,369 bushels, or about .09 bu. per tree. It could be far more profitable to dig up our trees and plant the ground to a more profitable crop. Ontario county, New York, produoes an average of five boxes per tree. In Clackamas county wo seem to keep apple trees to raise moss and worms instead of apples yet we have far better soil and olimate. By proper, attention to the old or chards, by pruning and spraying, we can make our orchards yield as good and better results than formerly. The average sales from the 5400 acres of orchards in New York yielded till per acre. Aocording to expert te ti mony at the Lewis and Clark Exposi tion the flavor of Willamette Valley apples is unexcelled. ' The following resolution was unan imously carried : 'Whereas, James H. Keid -has re signed as county fruit inspector; therefore be it "Resolved, That the Oounty Court be requested to appoint A. J. Lewis as county fruit inspeotor. " Mr. Harvey, or Milwaukie, gave an interesting and instructive object les son in ..pruning trees,' both as to top and root systems. Hun. W. K. Newell, commissioner of the first distiiot, then gave a prac tical and interesting talk on spraying. The lormnia lor winter spraying 15 pounds lime, 15 pounds sulphur, and 15 pounds salt. Put your lime into lour gallons of hot water ; slack aud put in your sulphur, boil from one and one-half to three hours, then put in your salt. Use while warm, beoause it will flow more freely. One application each winter ; if your or chad is in bad Condition, give it two applications tne last just berore the buds open. Trees well coveied with some spray will be less subjeot to at tacks of , scale during the summer. Once yon have your orohard in gocd condition, you will have little trouble to keep it in cheok.

(Ed itor of The Courier. ) As the time tor political aotion is drawing near, it beoomes us, as true patriotic citizens, to be careful whom we nominate to fill the various connty and state offices to be voted for the fifth cf Jnne next If we believe the principles of our party to be more in harmony with the constitution of the United States, we should select men as onr candi dates who will boldly labor for those principles in defiance of the political triokery of the other party. Not only men who will stand by the constitu tions but men of clean hands as well. But where today shall we Hnd men of clean political hands.? Mot in the ranks of those who believe it is right to take commercial advantage of his neighbor beoause the law allows him to, but rather from the ranks of those who would deal justly with all men, though there were no statute laws in existence; not in the ranks of those who defend wholly or in great part on speculation as a means of support ; not rrom tne ranks of those who would take from another any consideration of value in the wav of trade without returning a consideration of equal value ; not in the ranks of those' who believe it is right to accommodate great wealth at the expense of the people ; not in the ranks of those who would oppress labor, and say to the laboring man, ' 'I taw laoe enrtains at your wife's window; we oannot afford to indulge our working men In soon luxuries; one dollar a day is enough for yon ;" nor should we expeot to find clean hands among those who in the least favor such conditions. , - But there is other than political dirt w 'tb which men soil their hands. The chronio office seeker is a man to be shunned on nomination day. Such would not hesitate to buy their way iato office or to sell the people's rights for political fBvors, nor yet to deoeivd the people if votfs could be gained thereby. Better, by far, look to men behind the plow, to the laboring claspos generally for law-makers and law-exeoutors. Nor need we nominate men of ques tionable private habits, a little over indulgence in strong drink, or an im moderate nse of the "weed;" or men that indulge in the use of profane langunee, Such mm are Blavea to habit, nor should we expect them to be fully able to make laws for a free people; nor yet should we nominate men for any ofrloe whatever, who are under the public charge of fraud ; nor yet should we nominate any man for offloB who, just for the sake of party harmony, voted for men for office, knowing at the time such men were undjr charges of fraud. Politics is not all there is for man. There is a moral and a social side to life, and unless we are proteoted in onr rights to these, are we mooli hotter off than the heathen? Laws to seoure strict justice between man and man, it seems to me, are the laws we most need at this time. Do men ever think, or stop to consider. how far snob legislation would reaohf Under the full protection of such Jaws, no cheating oould be done, no prop erty conld be sacrificed to satisfy greed, nor oould advantage be taken of to get our property at half or one- third price. The drunkard's wife and children would have something more wit'1 which t) keep the "wolf from the door. " And gamblers, cheats and frauds would all be looked up in jail, provided we had jails enough to hold them all. Last but not least, under laws securing strict justice to all, one man oould not gobble up the wealth of the Nation and hold it as his own. : WILLIAM PHILLIPS. , FOUND BURGLARS' TOOLS. Landlady of Lodging House Makes Sur prising Discovery. . The landlady of a local lodging house made the discovery last week of a complete outfit of burglars' tools, containing a number of drills and other tools, together with a supply of dynamite caps. The owner of the property was an occupant of the room, when the package was fonnd. The landlady found an officer, but the supposed burglar had taken alarm and disappeared with his property. The man came here a few days ago and when he engaged the room, lie said that he had tour companions who desired accommodation in a short time. It is generally believed that the nan is a member of a gang of burg lars and intended operating in this vicinity.
