Fruit Commissioner for the First Oregon District, J. H. Reed, of Mil waukee, has announced his Intentions of having the old orchards along the W. P. Companies Lines and the Southern Pacific Ry.; cleaned and sprayed or cut down and there seems to be no alternative to his decision. Tuesday he held a conference with County Fruit Inspector A. J. Lewis and District Attorney G, L. Hedges of this City, to more fully perfect plans for the owners of old orchards to eith er spray their trees or cut them down, "Marlon and Yamhill Counties have obeyed the law," said Mr. Reld, "and is up to Clackamas to do the same, is a strong and forceful argument that hundreds and perhaps thousands of homeseekers come from the East through California, and, after travel ing through the southern portion or Oregon and thon through Lane, Linn and Marlon Counties, come to Clack amas and here are confronted by the nectacle of scale Infested trees by the dreds of acres of them, absolutely of no value to the owners or to any one else. "Now, I live in Clackamas County, and I want to see it clewed up "o that we can tulie ajirldu In Our trees, that grow in as fine a fruit land as there IS the whole ntaie. We liflvo hud tent chhh, ona of t,hm In Clackamas. Coun ty, and wo krtuw jual how tut we can go. Our Jlrst step 1 to serve notice on the proprirt-y-ownerti t spray, and give them 15 days to comply with tiitf law. If, at the end of that time, they ne glect or refuse to spray properly, we will give them their choice between allowing us to spray their trees, at their expense, or cutting down the or chard. "I would advise owners of trees that are no longer useful to cut them down to within 18 Inches or two feet of the ground and then graft such an apple as the Yellow Newtown. Then in a few years they will have a fine orchard." MILWAUKEE SUICIDE THADDEUS MILLER, A MOTORMAN KILLS HIM8ELF MONDAY.
