Apple and Walnut Growing
In Willamette Valley .
Is Discussed.
1 Judge W. W. Jesse, of Barlow, Q.
W. Diniick, of Hubbard, A. J. Lewis,
of Maple Lane, county fruit iospector,
and O. W. Swallow were the speakers
Saturday afteruoou at the meeting of
the Clackamas County Horticultrual
Sooiety which was held in the county
courtroom. Other well known fruit
men were present and participated in
the general discussion, Among them
bjiug J. H. Reid, fruit commissioner
for the first district: J. U. Zinser,
secretary of the county society. H.
M. Williamson, editor of tho Oregon
Agriculturist; W. B. Stafford, 1. D.
Taylor and Captain James Jf. Shaw.
One of the most interesting features
of the session was the relation of in
cidents ot the reoont fruit fair held
at Hood River. Mr Low is was a
delegate to that Fair and gather
ed much information. President
Swallow, of the Clackamas County
Society, was also in attendance and
gave a brief resume of his trip. Mr.
Lewis talked Saturday afternoon on
"The Workings of the " w." his
remarks were fu'l of . He
was preceded by W. W. Jesse, of
Barlow, who spoke on ''Go-operation."
Mr, Jesse presented specimens
of trees from an orchard that had
been sprayed for the first time. He
talked at some length on the value of
co-operation to the fruit growers, and
what hfl said was ot value.
G. W.Diniick, of Hubbard, one of
the pioueer fruit men of the
Willamette Valley, made the principal
Hpeech of the afternoon, taking for his
topio "Apple and Walnut Growing in
the Willamette Valley." Mr. Dimiok
exhibited some fine specimens of both
walnuts and apples and talked about
varieties. He showed his hearers the
"Missing Link" apple, which is in
tended to fill the gap between the
seasons.
"I firmly believe," Baid Mr.
Dmick, "that that we have as good
an apple country in the foothills of
Clackamas county as there is in the
whole state, and we can have enthus
iasm here just as well as the people
of Hood River have, if wo want it.
Enthusiasm did not always exist
there, but tlioy made it by a system of
education. This might and should be
done here by planting a commercial
orchard, as they have done there.
This, of course would require means
to carry it to a successful termiua
tioii. "All over this county you plant
your apple trees too close together most
of them being but 20 feet apart, while
they should be planted fully 40 feet
apart, just as the walnut tree is
planted. This may seem strange to
8xue of you, but let me tell y .u it
will pay you in the loug run and you
will have to do it if you want trees
that will be bearing good apples 40
years from now.
"Sucessful fruit growing is a
soieuce and a study. The success ot
Hood River is not difficult to obtain,
once the proper methods are adopted,
and when one orchard in Claokamas
county makes a great success, others
will follow. When you can demon
Urate that we can make $1000 from
an acre of ground, the enthusiasm
will come. Hood River has a good
name in the markets of the world,
aud there is no reason why we should
not have as good or a better name."
The speaker talked of the two pests
that annoy the fruit grower, the cod
sin moth and the San Jose Scale. He
said that one good spraying, properly
applied, will cook tne scale for one
year at least. ' Ho talked of mixtures,
and Fruit Commissioner Reid, of Mil
waukie, explained that lime and
sulphur is a satisfactory preparation.
Blue vitrol crystalizes the sulphur.
It is the sulphur in the mixture that
kills the scale. The general opinion
was voiced in a discussion that March
is a better time to spray than in the
fall. Mr. Dimick returned to his
subject aud said: "It is certain that
if some energetic man would plant a
commercial orchard, using the Spitz
enberg as one variety, Clackaman
county would be awakened to the im
portance of the question. "
Mr. Dimick in closing referred to
walnut growing and said that in
order to produce walnuts with com
mercial value, the growers must plant
walnut thaf have a commercial
value.
A boom for a county fair was start
ed Saturday with the unanimous-pass
age of the following resolution:
To the Honorable, the County Court
of Clackamas County, Oregon.
Whereas, the growing importance
of Clackamas County aud the future
development of its magnificent agri
cultural, aud horticultural resources
require that they should be .brought
to the attention of new settlers, and
Whereas, the various fairs and ex
hibits uuder the auspices of the
Granges and other bodies should be
harmouized and encouraged for further
developement, therefore
Resolved, tnat it is the sense of this
meeting that the County Court should
encourage by ovary legitimate means
the holding of a County fair in some
suitable locality, and to take steps to
have Clackamas Gouty fittingly repre
sented by by an exhibit at the State
Fair.
.(, C. Zineer, Captain J. P. Shaw
and A. J. Lewis were appointed to
draft a resolution relative to the
affiliation of the local society with
the State Horticultural Society, and
they presented the following resolu
tion, which was adopted by a unani
mous vote:
"Whereas, overtures have been re
ceivedjfrom the Seoretary of the State
Horticultural Society inviting this
society to affiliate with the state
society, in accordance with the
resolution adopted at its annual meet
ing January 8, 1906, and
"Whereas, the horticultural in
terests of Clackamas County, as well
as of the state at large, would be
greatly benefitted by suoh affiliation,
thprotore,
"Resolved, that these overtures be
accepted and the following provis
ions De incorporated in our constitu
tion :
1st. The secretary of this sooiety
shall, at least SO days before the
date f the annual meeting of the
Stiate Horticultural Society, trans
mit to the seoretary or the State
Horticultural Sooiety 25 cents per

2d. The seoretary of this society

the secretary of the State Horticul
tural Sooiety such data, in duplicate
oopies. regarding the fruit industries

annnal report.
3d. The secretary of this sooiety
shall annually, at such time as the
secretary of the State society shall
designate, certify to the latter dupli
cate lists of the officers and members
of this society. "
GRANGE TALKS FRUIT,
Methods of Hood River Growers Should
Be Emulated.
At the monthly meeting of Milwau
kie Grange, Patrons of Husbandry,
Saturday, under the charge of Mrs.
Mary Getcliell, lecturer, the members
discussed the methods of the Hood
River fruitgrowers. Refereuoes were
made to the magnificent display at
the recent fruit tair in Hood River.
Emphasis were put on the methods
of the growers of apples displayed,
and it was shown in the discussion
that it was the result of untiring, in
telligent and up-to-date effort. There
was constant attention and spraying
and personal examination of each
tree. It was the consensus of opinion
of the grange that the tame care aud
methods would soon result in plaoing
the Willamette valley on a much
higher grade than at present and give
a reputation for high grade fruit of all
kinds. In connection with the dis
cussion the poet Lowell was consider
ed. The Mil waukie Grange decided
to give a bazaar the first of December.
NEW HALL DEDICATED.
People of Milwaukie Have Fine Building
and No Debt.
Tne dedication of the new city hall
at Milwaukie took place Saturday
evening, with Mayor Shindler presid
ing. Mubio was furnished by the
Milwaukie band and the hall was
elaborately decorated with autumn
leaves and flags of the nation. Elec
tric lignt illuminated the building on
both floors aud the audience was
large. The Mayor made the opening
speech and said that there was no
debt on the hall so far as it was com
pleted. The building will be finished
as soon as funds are available, some
time next year. The dimensions
are 40x90 feet and the total cost will
be about $4000. The fire department
have quarters and there it a room for
oouncil meetings as well as a good
hall for functions of a public nature.
County Judge G. B. Dimick and
State Senator Geo. C. Brownell were
the speakers Saturday evening and
dancing was indulged in.
No Politics la Election.
The time for filing petitions for
nomination under the direct primary
law expired Friday an! this means
that partisanship will cut no figure
in the approaching; city election.
Candidates for office must be nominat
ed by petition and they will not be
allowed to nse either the Republican
or Democratic party names. No
petitions for nominations on the
regular party tickets were filed.
METHODS
RAIL RUMORS
ARE IN AIR
O. W. P. Probably Behind the
Molalla Project. .
WHERE WILL ROAD START?
Survey Along Abernethy Was
Made By Loss Construction
Company Several
Months Ago.
J. B. Ryan of Portland, who for
the paft three months has been at
work securing a right of way for an
electrio railway between Canemah and
Salem and (or an extension ot this
line from Canby to Wilhoit Springs,
was in the city Saturday. Mr. Ryan,
in company with offloials of the C E.
Loss Construction Company, will go
over the right of way to Molalla this
week.
It. was learned that the survey made,
about- two months ago along the'
Abernnthy was done under the
direction ot the Loss Construction
Company. This may be construed to
mean that the proposed road to
Molalla and Wilhoit Springs may
start from the north end of this city
and go over the hill extending out in
the neighborhood of Beaver Creek or
possibly running south to New Era
aud thence to Molalla.
While authentio information is not
at hand it is generaly understood that
the Oregon Water Power & Railway
Company and its allied interests, in
cluding the Portland Railway and the
Portland General Electrio companies,
is behind the' project. Mr. Ryan,
who is obtaining right of way agree
ments in the name of Alex Sweek,
trustee, is extremely reticent concern
ing the matter, bnt it is believed that
the early construction of the Molalla
lino is a reasonable ceitaiaty.
lf Just what T.lie intentions of the com
any are in relation to the survey up
the Abernethy cannot be determined.
It is whispered, however, that before
many mouths the Oregon Water Power
& Rail way Company will announce its
plans and at the same time endeavor
to secure additional privileges to what
it already lias for transporting freight
cars over Main street in this city.
The company made aotroug effort last
winter to seoure a freight franchise
here and alter considerable ill tueling
had been created the franchise ordin
ance, which was passed by the city
council in the - face of violent
opposition, was vetoed by Mayor E.
A. SommHr. The railway company
has c! auged' hands since that time and
the present oiHoials of the road are
not at swords points with the preseut
municipal government and it is
possible that a second effort to obtain
a freightjranchise might be favorably
considered.
FISH LADDER A SUCCESS.
State Warden Hopes to Establish Hatch
eries On Molalla and Santiatn.
Fish Warden VauDusen was in the
city Thursday fiom Astoria. Mr.
VauDusen while here inspected the
fish ladder at Willamette Falls and
expressed himself as highly satisfied
with the results that were being
obtained from its operation. He said
that the young salmon had been seen
this year in the Molalla and Santiatn
Rivers in greater numbers thau ever
before, and rhat Superintendent
Talbert of the McKinzie Hatchery,
had taken 8,000,000 eggs. Mr. Van
Dusen hopes to secure an appropria
tion at the coming session of the state
legislature for hatcheries on the
Santiam and Molalla Rivers. He de
clined to talk for publication in refer
ence to the Clackamas County saw
dust cases, but said that the law was
not complied with strictly in this
county, where there are a large num
ber of small sawmills.
ERICKS0N TRIED TO BUY.
Negotiated For the Purchase of Bank of
Oregon City Properly.
August Erickson, who was in the
city laHt week, negotiating for the
purcliahe of city property, made an
endeavor while here to acquire three
holdingo. Jt was known that he
sought to purchase a portion of the
Barclay proprety, and that he also
tried to buy the Roos property on Main
and Eighth streets, but it was
ascertained Monday that he made an
effort to secure the half block on Main
street between Sixth and Seventh,
owned by the Bank of Oregon City,
but the price was not agreeable to
both parties, and the deal fell
through. Upon this property is locat
ed a number of good buildings,
occupied by the Bank, Oregon C ity
Bicycle & Gun Store, Frank T.
Barlow, with offices on the upper
floor. There are also several dwell
ings on the property.

SHIBLEY IN MISSOURI.
Springwater Man Tells of His Trip at
Old Home.
SIDNKY, MO., Oct. 8. -The writer
left Portland September 29 at 8 :15 P.
M. aud arrived in Shibloy'B Point,
Mo., at 12o'olock Ootober 8. What
he lias seen and what he did not se
Have not seen as muoh timber and
grown trees as is on the writer's
land in Springwater, Oregon, in this
vicinity, Adair and Putnam Counties,
Mo. The people went crazy about 20
years ago and just out all of their
timber mostly for railroad ties.
After leaving the Columbia River
everything looked very desolate
through Eastern Oregon. They
appeared to be alive in Huntington,
which is a mining town. Idaho,
Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska
looked better. Had some recent
rains. -
Here at my old home in Missouri
everything looks strange. Timber all
gone, buildings changed, one old oak
tree and about the only one that is
left, stands by the door of the first
house I buil. and looked familiar.
No good drinking water. It is hard
for a Springwatorite to find a good
drink of water outside of the Cascade
Mountains. Missouri heats Oregon
for corn and this year Missouri ia the
banner stfte for apples. Oregon and
Missouri this year are losing
$1,000,000 by letting fruit go to
waste. The writer wai awed by the
solitude of the old 'farm. Silence
rules supreme around here The old
farmer who occupies the farm at
prosent appsared and emitted the
ashes from his corncob pipe and said:
" I reckon yeou ain't seen my old
woman yot, old fellow. She is the
only thing that rules supreme around
these digg u aud she is far from
silence as a clam is from a talking
machine. "
SAWDUST CASE SATURDAY.

ed conditions relative to the report
that oil was bning poured in the
waters of the Willamette. This whs

possible that the authorities will take
some action about this matter.
NEGRO IS RELEASED.
Man Who Held Up Orley Hayes Got
Away Wednesday Night.
John B. Word, the negro who was

with holding up Orley Hayes aud re
lieving him of 75 cents, was discharg
