Oregon City, like many ollittr towns along lite railroad line, has hern overrun with tramps of Uu, ami more or le pilfering Iihn ten done, The tramp prohleiii I a wrlnus one to deal with.

Tho reult would I that thone denertlng onea would woik and the oily or Ita citlreiia would not he the loner, while the genuine hobo would anon aeek another route or pan through our town unnoticed. Many good bonet men are forced lo trump, but that charac ter of man la alwaya willing to work, j Pnowa Not Phomtabi.b.

Leading citizens of LaUrande have labored earnestly for more than a year to bring about the establishment of a beet sugar factory. Every detail for the buildings and machinery have been made and the men are on the ground to prosecute the work ol emu t ruction. Hut at this Into dubt a question hx arisen which has heretofore been overlooked, and that la as to whether or not a nifll clont umoiint of beets can tat raised In tliut valley to J .alify the large expendl turn which will be necessary, Those who are familiar with the coiintr and the productiveness of the soil think a aullirlent amount ran ho produced, but noverless proceedings have been slopped until an investigation can he made, a very Important matter.

The conslant tread of many feet has worn the steps off until they alone down ward to such a degree aa to mnko them really dangerous these froaiy mornings. Several persona have expeiienced more or less severe falls during the week and ths city might avoid a damage auit by having then) repaired. The steps are made of tquare blocks and all that Is nocesary to do In order to make them perfectly safe is to turn them over, en tailing but alight expense to the city and adding greatly lo the convenience, if not to the safely of many tf our iieople.

An old i.loneer of Oregon and Washing ton, who has been Interteated in fruit culture all bis life, writes as follows says the Hood Hlver Ulaclrr: I have been hearing of the serious damage done to the apple crop at Hood River by the codlln moth, which has im- d me to w rite and try to beneut your locality by giving you my obser vations and experience. As hature'ain sect destroyer, there la nothing better than the cenliiede, as I have found. The centipede is found all over Ihe world andc-ulainly la the best towel cleanser known. It la a crustacean. with bones on tho outside, ami ia a real vertehraanimal, with I don't exactly know how many joints, and a pair or legs to eajli J.dnl, and ia considered poisonous In tropical countries. It cannot swim nor fly and has some very potent enemies, which destroy it in some part ot the world. Flocks of iheep or goats will destroy them where the sheep or goats are past ured in the forests ;alao, close, clean culti- ation ol fluids or orchards will kill or drive them away. In an orchard they ihould lie protected by giving them nests of rubbish, rotten wood, atone piles or il ba of rotten bark laid under the trees. They also require some moisture ml will not stay without it In this climate they do their feeding entirety in the night time. When I settled here it had been an old logging camp and fire ad burned off the timber. The renti- iiedes had been destroyed and were three or four years in returning. My trees gut jiiilefoul with the black scale. fungus and Various kinds of aplna. I sprayed a gooo deal but failed to keep my orchard clean J but the centipedes haye come back In force, and now my orchard ia clean and beai s well, and the fruit Is of the beit quality. The elirubs and small fruits are cured also. Key. Homer. T.

Indi cate a tremendous Increase over the same period- of the last four years in the issue of both foreign and domestic money orders that are evidently Intended for Christmas presents These con.litions are accepted as a pronounced Indication of the return of better times and im proved financial affairs. A single steamer from New York last week look 0 it nearly lO.iXiO money orders, aifgre- giting a sum in the neighborhood of $150- 000, and 70 per cent of which were des tined for Norway and Sweden. The re port of the New York ofllee. which is one of the principal "test" olllces of the coun try, says i hat the money order business is averaging over double what it was this time last year. Over 20.000 orders are being handled daily, against less than 10,- 000 daily for the second week of Decem ber last year. The returns from other large olllces are proportionately of the same tenor and tell their own story of the gradual return of prosperity. Killed by a It mil way.
