UNION, A.:tABEU
FRIDAY. NOVEMBER
FOR BETTER FRUIT.
County Krult Inspector. .1. H. Keid.
ol Milwaukie. is vigorously prosecut
ing his duties with an idea of insur
ing for Clackamas County an improv
ed quality of fruit in succeeding years.
He has just completed a thorough
canvas of the county by which every
farmer Is being warned to immediately
spray all of his fruit trees. Accom
panying the personal notice is the
warning that except the spraying is
done within thirty days, such neglect
ed tret's will be cut down and destroy
ed under the provisions of the amend
ed state horticultural law. which del
egates this authority to the County
Inspector. News Item.
The effective campaign that is be
ing waged by Inspector Reid in Clack
amas county for an improved stand
ard of fruit is to be commended. This
section is naturally adapted to fruit
culture and the spraying of trees
should be considered a service that
should be cheerfully performed rather
than an act required and demanded
by the statutes. Growers should glad
ly co-operate with the authorities in
complying with all the requirements
of the amended horticultural law and
the result would be seen in a better
quality of fruit and a more remunera
tive price for the product of the or
chard. It is reported that because
of lack of attention, largely resulting
from a failure to spray and success
fully combat vermin, only a small
percentage of the apple crop of this
vicinity is marketable this year. This
should be convincing evidence of the
practicability and the reasonableness
of the demands of the fruit inspector
for a faithful compliance with the
state horticultural law.
SUGGESTIONS
FOR
ER."
THE "KNOCK-
If a stranger happens to drop into
your place of business to get a little
information about the country, unlock
the closet and bring out your skeleton
at once. Tell him there are just a few
men i:i town who want to run every
thing. If you have a business rival
tell the sri-anger all about his weak
point-; and with a sly wink aive him i
to understand that he is a grafter and I
car t be trusted. But don't fail to im-1
jes m:ii iui ine mci mat you 1:0
business trictly on the square and
that any business entrusted to you j
will r-'i'eive the most careful attention. ',
If you hav" had any little difference !
up the street go into all the details i
and tell how unreasonable the other '
fellow was. The stranger may beirin
to Lr r nervous and manifest a desire ;
to move on. but pour it in'n him. for;
if he should conclude to locate here, '
he will have all these things to learn !
and yon will feel clear, after having !
given warning. Last, but not least, j
if yo i can't get your visitor interested :
in anything you may have for sale ;
don't for a minute think of letting :
the other fellow get a chance at him. i
Your visitor will, if a man of good j
sense, leave yon in utter disgust and
look up an information bureau where1
the watchdog is of a more cheerful
frame- of mind but cherish the thought
that you are a "knocker" of the first
order. It is worth something to do
business. New berg ('.rapine.
BENEFIT OF LOCAL FAIRS.
There should be more district, coun
ty and neighborhood fairs held in the
county. The holding of such fairs
means some work for everyone con
nected with them, ami especially for I
the leader in the enterprise, as some
public-spirited person always has to
take the lead and bear the heavy ends
of such things, but fortunately almost
every community has some person
well qualified for such work that likes
to do it. and the one who has this
ability and inclination should receive
sufficient remuneration so that they
can afford to devote their time and
energy in that direction. The bene
ficent results will doubly repay all
such expenditures.
The benefits along the line of in
ducing people to buy and breed better
stock and to strive harder for perfec
tion in all lines of production are so
apparent and have been cited so often
that it is scarcely necessary to reiter
ate them here, but we do want to
emphasize one point entirely overlook
ed by the masses in their tiresome
round of daily toil with the single pur
pose of getting wealth. Corvallis Oa

PORTLAND AND OREGON
GATEWAYS.
CITY
It is late to suggest it, perhaps, but
the gateway at Oregon City should be
held open to all such railway lines as
must converge there on their way
through the valley. For this reason
the granting of an exclusive franchise
to any one company on Oregon City's
principal street would not seem to "be
to the interests of the public, espec
ially to the Willamette vallev in gen
eral. Oregon City should require anv com
pany using that street to enter into
trackage arrangements with any other
company whose lines might converge
! there. The salvation of its single
business street would also be brought
about by the const ruction of an ele
vated road through the city.
Portland has another proposition be
fore it In which the valley Is Inter
ested and that Is the use by railway
lines of Front street In that city. This
is the only street on the west side of
the river over which railway linos
can enter the city on a level from the
j south, anil w hile various persons are
latter the privilege the interests of
I the entire valley should suggest to
jl'v City of Portland that no such cone
j puny should be allowed to keep others
'off the tracks which will g, through
j there. It should be held as a railroad
1 thoronghi'aro for all comers. Kery
' facility for entrance Into the city
should be given every line knocking
I at the city's gates, and this sort of a
scheme would seem to be an added
inducement to new lines to look to
ward Portland ami the valley. Salem

FARMERS' INSTITUTES IN CLACK
AMAS. : The Oregon City Heard of Trade has
arranged for a series of farmers' in
I .-dilutes in various pa -is of I'lackatua
county for next week. Men wise In
I the lore of agriculture, horticulture
(and dairying will address the met
j ings. to lK end that the farmer folk
j may add to their own store of know
I ledge the facts that are attested by
i work of tioverntr.etit experiment sta
tions ami through scientific tilling of
soils and crops.
The eager-ae of intelligent men f
every vocation to become expert in
their cal'jigs is shared by those who
win their livelihood from the soil.
Since the day when the spade supple
mented the sharpened stick and the
plow followed the spado, in preparing
the soil for the reception of seed, the
vocation of farming has been a grow
ing one. In no other domain of human j
effort has there been wider .or more j
substantial improvement tUan in that
of farming. This is true not only In !
the diversity and excellence of agrl- !
cultural products, but in the improved
implements and methods of agricul
ture. The time when the farmer,
sickle in hand, went out to harvest his
wheat, and later, through "the dull
thunder of alternate flails," separated
the grain from the chaff, lives only In
song and story. The memory of the
present generation knows it not.
Yet this method of harvesting ami
threshing is not so old. and it may be
recalled as a stepping-stone to the
cradle, the reaper, the header, and the 1
"combined" harvester, each in its turn !
displacing the other, as the progros- !
sive farmer saw the advantages that
each presented in saving time and la-
bor. Indeed, the implements of mod-!
ern agriculture are not less ingenious j
and wonderful, in their way, than are '
those of the manufactures and the '
arts. j
This is merely to say that American ;
farmers are abreast of the times j
ready to help themselves in accord- j
ance with the development of the age !
in which they live. This spirit is at- '
tested by the numbers who attend the ;
farmers' institutes. Whether the ad- :
dress is given by a county fruit inspec- :
tor. well versed in the the care of ,
trees, including pruning and spraying; i
by a teacher in the Agricultural Col- 1
lege on "Scientilic Farming." or by
an expert in "Dairying as an Art."
there are many eager listeners ready '
to make intelligent application of the :
knowledge presented.
The social feature of many of these '
i farmers' institutes, patterned after the
methods of the Orange, are scarcely
! less valuable than those that are spe
icifically instructive. While 'intd!i
; gent industry is the chief factor in;
j successful farming, neighborhood har- j
mony ami neighborly interest are its
ready auxiliaries.
The farmers' institutes are valuable
for the promotion of these necessary
elements of success and happiness in
rural life. And further, when the bus
iness. manufacturing and commercial
interests of the chief city of a com
munity or county combine to get in
touch with its farming interests, per
sonal fellowship, which is the surety
of good citizenship, follows. Oregoni

UNCERTAINTY OF JURIES.
Not even a Ibiteh lawyer can be
gin to fathom the probable verdict to
he returned by the average jury and
the probability of bis being able to
foretell the findings of a Clackamas
county jury is even more doubtful.
Last week there were tried two cases
in particular in which the obstinacy
of one or two men resulted in either
a disagreement or a compromise ver
dict. In disposing of a case by either
of these two routes the juror of un
yielding disposition violates the oath
he takes upon entering the jurv box-
Ian.! frequently defeats the ends of
j justice.
Without entering into a discussion
of the merits of the case, we would
cite a criminal prosecution that took
place last week. The defendant was
'accused of assault with a dangerous
weapon, towit, a rolling pin. An abund
ance of evidence, not including tin
badly battered head of the complain
ing witness, was offered to substanti
ate the allegations set forth in the in
dictment, but. by his persistence in re
fusing to agree with his associates
anil return a verdict of guilty as charg
ed, one member of the jury held that
body out all night and late the follow
ing morning induced the other eleven
members to return a verdict of simple
assault, including with it the recom
mendation for clemency in behalf of
the defendant.
To say the least, this sort, of thing is
a miscarriage of justice. From the ev
idence and the testimony at the trial,
th'' accused was either guilty of as
sault with a dangerous weapon or he
should have been acquitted. There
should have been no compromise.
In another case a son sued his fath
er for about $800 which he alleged was
being wrongfully withheld from him.
A major part of this sum was claim
ed to be a loan to the lather of money
the boy bad earned while still a
minor, the balance of the sum sued for
being claimed as wages for labor on
the father's farm subsequent, to the
time the boy attained his majority.
From the evidence adduced in the
trial of the case, it was not unreason
able that a verdict should have been

SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.
While the telephone proposition Is
under discussion, the people who are
interested both in the country and In
town should realize that nothing Is
to be gained in a general way from
one telephone corporation more than
from another.
The country people are entitled and
should have the help of Oregon City
in getting connection with this town.
Hut it is doubtful if this can be ac
complished by introducing a new com
pany. In the first place Oregon City will
have to support two telephone com
panies and each business house put
in two phones, or not have connection
with all of the people having tele
phones with one or the other of the
two companies operating' in the city.
Many places in the state have refus
ed for this reason to allow the second
company a franchise.
It might be a good scheme to al
low the users of telephones to have a
referendum vote on this nuestion. In
any event Oregon City should take
such steps as it can to bring itself in
closer and more direct touch with the
fanners' lines.
It is doubtful if any good can be ac
complished along this line by putting
in another telephone system that at
present, at least, would be unable to
give any long distance connections
with Portland or anvwln-re else.
HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS.
The city council did the handsome
thing last evening. The ordinance for
a franchise for the motor line was
passed without a dissenting vote. .0.

fer with Oregon City people in their
views of franchises. And by the way,
the franchise granted this week by
the Salem Council is believed to be
for the use and benefit of the proposed

operated between Portland and Rose
burg. If Sheriff Shaver ever bad legitimate

There is nothing like having oblig
