JOHN GOHRA. NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR A Liquor License. Notice Is hereby given that I will, at the next regu lar meeting of the city council, ap ply for a license to sell liquor at my place of business, 415 Main St., for a period of three months. W. RAMBO. Mrs. Sara Cassedy, wife of C. W. CasBedy, who died, a short time ago at her home at Sandy, was born August 30, 1851, In Allegheny, Pa., and came to Oregon in the spring of 1878. For three years she was a resident of Oregon City, moving from here to the Eagle Creek country. It is cowardice to leave undone what ono perceives to be right to do. The Vln. Blight. Several Inquiries from New England were recently received at the depart ment of agriculture asking fur reme dies to prevent or cure the blight tbat destroys cucumber, melon and squash vines and referring to the well known disease very prevalent In America of late yeara and which causes appar ently vigorous vines to suddenly with er and die within a few days from the beginning of the attack. According to Dr. B. T. Galloway of the bureau of plant Industry, the blight Is prevalent all along the Pacific coast. The germs of the blight are carried by an Insect. lie recommends that tbe vines should make a steady rather than a rapid growth and should be planted on ground containing a large amount of organic matter, adding also nitrogen lu the form of nitrate of soda. Spray ing the plants with paris green and bordeaux mixture such as Is used fr potatoes kills the Insect which carries the blight and prevents Its puncturing the lenves and admitting the fungus of the disease. As a means of preven tion It Is reco in mended that the crops be grown on fresh ground each year. The Orange In Idaho. Furolf Idaho has at last gained en trance Into the sisterhood of grange states mid reports eleven new granges organized during the quarter ending July 1. Wo anticipate a rapid growth In grango membership In that live farming state of the noil Invent, and It may seem strange to some that the work of organizing In that state has been so long delayed. There has been a reuson for It, as thoso know who are familiar with the methods that have prevailed for some years past concerning the opening up of new grange territory, particularly In Idaho, nut now that the work tins begun Its progress will not be slow. Mrs. Anna Kruger, of this city, left Monday, for tho east, where they go to make a year's visit with friends. -rjr 'M'Cj ,fi" "The Silver Plate that Wears" What could be a more suitable gift than SILVERWARE? You You want something that always looks well; something that will not break, and most of all something that will last a lifetime. These three things have made 1847 Rogers Bros, THE FARM AND GARDEN BLACK KNOT IN PLUMS. Mora Light on the Failure of Pluma In tha East. F. C. Sears of the Massachusetts ag ricultural college writes as f-Jluws about black knot In plums: I have been interested In looking through tbe college orchard recently to notice the comparative susceptibility of the different varieties and classes of plums to black knot and In comparing present Indications with past -experience along the same lines. The tree agent who sells plum trees which are warranted to be "knot TBBB WITH BLACK KNOT. proof" Is undoabtedly a nature fakir, but If he selects the right varieties among the Japanese he will come much nearer than usual to the truth. In two rows In the college orchard of twenty two trees each, one of Red June and the other of Burbank, I found In a reasonably long ' search not a single specimen of black knot And last year their record was almost -equally clean. On trees in adjoining rows of Engel bart and Bradshaw, however, knots are all too abundant, though not nearly so bad as last season. They would probably average half a-ozen knots to the tree this season, while last year the same trees yielded a couple of bushels of knots from the two rows. While this Is a little discouraging to the man who wants to grow the domes tic plums, as everybody does who wants high quality, still it Is surpris ing how little time Is' uequlred to keep down this disease If It Is taken In time and systematically handled. And It is equally surprising how badly a tree can be affected and still be recovered satisfactorily. A few years ago the writer undertook to revive some old trees which would ordinarily have been cut down and put on the brush heap. They were a mass of knots from top to bottom. We selected a time when the snow was on the ground so that the knots could be easily gathered up and cut out every vestige of the dis ease, though In some cases this left a pretty, small proportion of tbe original tree. In removing a knot we cut at least six inches below It, so as to be sure and take out ftie roots of the dis ease. That year the trees made a big growth, often three or four feet, but a good many new knots also came out which were removed that autumn, the trees also receiving two thorough sprayings with bordeaux mixture dur ing the summer. The following two years we did near ly all our cutting in the summer and found It much more satisfactory in Its results than cutting during the dor mant season. To begin with, as the knots were removed as soon as they appeared we saved the crop of sum mer spores which would otherwise have spread the disease. Then, the knots being young and soft, we could fre quently shave them off and thus save the branch on which they grew. Last ly, when it became necessary to cut out a brauch altogefcjie, in getting rid of a knot, the tree, being still in growth, would at once fill In tbe space thus made, so that by autumn It could hardly be seen. This work was done In a section where the black knot flourishes like tbe proverbial green bay tree, yet we found It by no means a serious matter to rid these trees of the disease and keep them reasonably free. Three cuttings during the summer, with an autumn clearing up (after the leaves were off) of the knots which bad escaped thus far, combined with three application of bordeaux mixture, did the work. Our sprayings were applied one be fore the leaves opened, one after tbe blossoms fell and one about two weeks later. Lest some may think this a pret ty serious programme, I may Bay that the summer cutting the third season took Just four and one-half hours for an orchard of ninety trees.

Obadlah Gardner, past master of tbe Maine state grange, bag been In tbe field since July IS for gubernatorial honors. Maine Is tbe state where there la a Patron for every thirteen Inhabitants and where "the growth of the grange Is limited only by the number of resi dents In tbe state who are eligible to become members," where 866 of tbe 410 subordinate granges own tbelr halls, where the grange has a total membership of 67,000 and where the grange has succeeded during the . past few years In putting $28,000,000 of property on tbe tax duplicate which bad previ ously been es caping all or a part of Us share of tbe taj. bur den. The won derful part of tbe grange growth OBADIAH OARDNEB. and increase in luflneiice In Maine has taken place largely during the past decade under Mr. Gardner's leadership ns master. Wben he became master In 1007 there were only 160 granges in the state with 20,000 members as com pared with 410 granges with 67,000 members when he retired last year. Mr. Gardner's borne Is at Rockland, Me., where his thoroughbred Jersey kerd Is engaged In supplying the local market and Islands around about Rock land with a fine quality of milk.'

He joined the grange in 1883. In 1887 be became n member of the Maine state grange executive committee, In which be continued until 1805, six years of this time Its chairman. In 1897 he was elected master of tbe state grange. For six years he was a mem ber of the Maine state board of agri culture, tbe last three of this time Its president. From 1899 to 1903 be was overseer of the national grange. Brother Gardner's superior executive ability is proved by his building up a flue private farming business and by the wonderful grange growth in Maine during the ten years of bis leadership, We Believe That grange meetings should be call ed to order on time. That subordinate granges should not adjourn for the hot season. , That no work for tbe Order should be considered Insignificant or unworthy of our best efforts. That there should be variety In the lecturer's programmes. That Juvenile granges are good things under proper management. That more attention should be paid to music in nine-tenths of the granges. That greater care should be taken In many granges In keeping secret the workings of the Order. That It is easier to keep unworthy persons out of the grange than to get them out. That "the best men in the Order should be ..appointed to 'Nie office of county or district deputy.
