RESPONDENT GETTING THE
TWO MIXED UP.
The nublicatlon of an article on Ger
man nnriile notutoes in the Morning
Enterprise, which was copied in the
Portland Telegram, has led "Ex-Farmer"
to write on the subject, calling the
notato a Russian nroduct. He says:
I see that some of the potato grow
ers are advocating the growing of the
Russian purple aa a new and good va
rl.it v If the Dreeon farmer ia wlae
he will not get caught with such chaff.
Forty years ago this potato was
brought Into Western Pennsylvania at
a time when the growers had lost
crops for four years on account of the
potato rot. This Russian potato was
rot proof, but It ruined all the white
varieties by mixing with them, and
for years the housewives were dls
(runted when they endeavored to place
on their tables a nice plate of mashed
potatoes, as they looked as If they had
been boiled with a dirty dlsn ciom.
I advise the Oresham and Powell
Vallev farmers, who now raise the
best potatoes In Oregon, not to spoil
their fine Burbauks wun a mixture oi
Russian blue. EX-FARMER.
FranW nuseli. who first brought the
purple potato to the attention of Clack
amas county farmers, says that It Is
not this Russian potato that he gave
away, and of which he still baa a lit
tle seed to spare. That the Russian
potato complained of Is what waa
known aa a swamn notato. and is
In no way like the purple German po
tato being given to those wno wisn ro
try it. And in any event it is being
eiveu to Clackamas county farmers
free, and no one la trying to make a
profit from the deal.

favor of the Preston Brothers, who
bought 137 acres of land at Eagle

contract, the Prestons paying J2,0O0.
They had defaulted 30 day o". the
second payment of $2,000, when
Horger brought suit for ejectment.
It Is said the land is worth about
$200 an acre. Within 30 days from
the time the payment was due, the
amount was tendered and refused by
Horger. Judge Campbell ruled that
a foreclosure suit was necessary In
order for Horeer to regain posses

certainly bad an equity in me iana.

money from the Prestons, which vali

BALL AT CHAUTAUQUA
BEING PLANNED FOR
PARK MANAGI MENT WOULD LIKE
TO HEAR FROM TEAMS WISH
ING TO COME.
The managers of Chauu uqua are
casting about at this tim. for base
ball teams to play at that popular sum
mer resort this season. It Is the wish
of the management tt have two games
on the Fourth of July, and one game
other days, excepting Sunday.
The Chemawa Indian band is likely
to play at Chautauqui. this season,
which means that the Indian boys will
furnish one side of the ball contest
each day. One or two seasons thl
team has been hard to beat but last
season It was easy picking, It Is said.
The bovs think they have a good team
this year, and that they will give s
good account of themselves, but the
game that they put up later Is what
will tell.
The management wr.-ld like to cor
respond with teams wl-hlng to come
to Chautauqua.
