7TH STREET WORK
FINALLY
Progress on the Seventh street im
provement was started by th 3 city
council Wedinesday night, when a
resolution was adopted calling for
plans and specifications for the re
placement of the old sewer from Cen
ter street west, so that this part of
the big drain could be made to con
form to the standards of the new
-- trunk sewer, that will be installed in
the district. Action on the paying
and other improvement of the thor-
,. oughfare was- again postponed,
"The council also tooic up other
street matters, among them being
the. passage of a resolution calling
for a change of grade upon Center
street from Ninth to Tenth streets,
and the- settlement of various old as
sessment "matters hanging over from
former improvement work. In some
of these settlements a partial pay
ment was accepted together with
deeds to part of- the property, while
in other cases the property is to be
deeded to the city, and a small pay
ment made to the owners to compen
sate them for the difference between
the value of their lots and the
amounts due the city.
Protests wera heard from some
property owners who declared, that
changes in grades had damaged their
holdings. In one instance it was re
cited that a second change in street
grades, at Thirteenth and Jackson,
had made necessary a seven:foot cut
on two sides of some corner property,
thus blocking sale of the land, and
practically forcing abandonment of
the property. Some of the .council-
?men met this charge by saying that
the laying of two modernly improved
streets upon two sides of the land
in question would enhance its value
sufficiently to pay for any damage re
sulting from the cut in grade. Fol
lowing these protests most of the re
ports calling for change of grade were
accepted.
Councilman Tooze rose towards the
close of the session to call tie atten
tion of the council to the fact that
many property owners had not clean
ed fallen dirt from the sidewalks in
front of their trraces, and urged that
some action be taken to force them
to 'better conditions. Mr. Tooze
learned that the city attorney was is
suing warnings to property holders
in the matter, and withdrew his re
quest for action.
In adjourning it was voted to hold
a special council meeting next Mon
day evening to clear up a mass of un
finished business that is still upon
the calendar.
FRUIT INSPECTOR
LOOKS OVER TREES
O. E. Freytag, county fruit inspect
or, will go to Wilsonville and Wallace
on May 23 to look over orchards in
that vicinity, and to talk with ranch
ers and fruit growers about their
trees, me lonowing day ne win
spend in the Sunnyside district,
where aside from general inspection
he will give fruit growers a talk up
on methods of combatting the coddl
ing moth.
Any other community that desires
the services of the county fruit in
spector, or any ranchers who want
his help in the matter of cleaning
out pests, are requested to -communi-cite
with him.
Mr. Freytag says that the orchards
of the county are, in the main, in ex
cellent condition. With but few ex
ceptions any parasites that afflict
the trees can be easily be taken care
of.
"The main trouble has been with
seals," says Mr. Freytag, in speaking
of his work. "A number of ranchers
have come to me and told me that
they have killed their trees by spray
ing. This in part is true, though it
was not the spray that hurt the
. trees. In acute cases of scale the use
of spray has simply killed the scale,
and part of the animals has been
left imbedded in the tree. Being un
able to absorb animal matter when
it has decomposed following death,
the tree has naturally been 'poisoned,'
and has died. Of course, it is the
fault of the rancher to allow his trees
to get in such condition. The only
thing to do in cases of acute scale is
to cut the tree down and burn it."
SEEKS BUSINESS
Agents believed to represent the
"Northwestern Electric company, the
new power concern that has entered
' . the JPortland electrical field, have
been soliciting business in the lower
valley during the present week, and
are working their way towards Ore
gon City and up the Clackamas. The
agents have made a thorough can
vass of Mijwaukie, it is reported, and
have signed up a number of power
uaeia j.ui iULure uumimss.
The Northwestern Electric com
pany, and is at present completing
: one of its power stations, and is do
1 ing much preliminary work in Port
' land. Officials of the company say
that they hope to be in a position to
deliver current by the end of the
year. Invasion of the valley by them
is somewhat unexpected, however,
and is taken as a sign of the inten
tions of the new concern to increase
.their plant and to reach out for sur
burban business.
The company is backed by Cali
fornia and Portland Interests and is
allied with the great Washington
Oregon Corporation, of Washington.
INDIANA VETERANS OPEN .
BIG ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 21.
The annual' encampment of the In

EXPERT'S ADVICE
COSTS CITY $264
Expert advice upon sewer construc
tion and other matters, given the
city by Robert Dieck, of Portland, will
cost Oregon City $264.25, acording to
a bill presented the council Wednes
day night, and approved and ordered
paid. Considering the large amount
of service Mr. Dieck has given
the city, and the great aid his
plans and advice have been, members
of the council feel that his bill was
exceptionally reasonable, and they ap
preciate his courtesy in this matter.
Aside from outlining a trunk sewer
system for the district adjacent to
and between Seventh street and the
Abernathy canyon, Mr. Dieck has ren
dered the pure water committee valu
able assistance, and has made many
suggestions in regard to other im
provements. His standing as an ex
pert in sanitary and municipal engi
neering makes his opinions of more
than usual merit, and his bill was
cheerfully ordered paid by the city
fathers.
A bill from S. R. Green, for 14
days while on vacation, and for an al
lowance of four days pay during sick
ness was placed on the table indefin
itely after some discussion.
CORONER'S JURY
LEAVES COUNTY
Coroner Wilson took a jury of
Clackamas county citizens over into
Marion county Wednesday, and held
an inquest upon the body of Charles
Ball, a section hand, who was instant
ly killed Tuesday afternoon by com
ing into contact with a sagging tele
phone wire that had been crossed
with a power wire. The man met his
death on the Clackamas county side
of the Pudding river, which is the
boundary line between Clackamas
and Marion counties, but his body
was taken across the river after the
accident. Ball was a resident of
Hubbard.
Marion county citizens were some
what put out when the coroner ar
rived with his own jury, and there
was some attempt made to dispute
his jurisdiction. As the death oc
curred" in Clackamas county, and as
the jury was composed pf Clackamas
county citizens, however, Corner Wil
son felt that he was well within his
rights, and went ahead with the in
quest. GLADSTONE CLUB WOMEN

HINTS ON APPLE GROWING IN OREGON
BY O. E
County Fru
The merits of the Oregon apple
have placed it at the top of the pin
nacle of fame, and yet we often hear
that the apple "we used to eat in
York state or in Michigan or Virginia
all tasted so good when we were
young" Note especially "when we
were young." No bread tasted so goo 1
as that we ate when we were young,
and so with everything. No doubt
those apples really were good, but
long since all kinds of pests, fungus
and blight have attacked the trees,
and their vitality has been destroyed,
thbugh in some cases fairly good ap
ples are grown.
But some how one can always tell
an 5regon apple. There is a luster
to it which cannot be produced any
where else in the world, and there
is a rich luscious flavor all its own, j
and upon these two factors are based
the unparalleled -success of the Ore
gon apple aginst the apples -of the
world. ,
The writer of this article had an
opportunity to observe the apple
question to. a perfect completeness.
At the Chicago Land Show there were
apples from nearly all the apple pro
ducing states. Comparisons were
made as to color, flavor, texture and
thickness of skin, and the Oregon ap
ple was king. Whether the apple was
grown in Clackamas County or else
where in the apple producing valleys
of Oregon the identity was plain.
The possibilities of the apple in
dustry in this section are very many
and very likely to put it in the front
rank as a fruit producing section. We
are nsur the big markets, and when
the Canal is completed and ship loads
of fruit can be taken direct to the
markets of. the world you will see
this prophecy come true.
There is one very serious question
to be 3olved, however, the distribu
tion of fruit. The fruit growers,
either the society of Equity or some
other organization must effect a leg
islation which will prohibit the mid
dle man making an unreasonable pro
fit. Prices are frequently set, which
makes the use of the- apple prohibi
tive for others than the extremely
well to do, thus limiting the sale and
depriving the middle and poorer
classes of this healthful fruit.
Here is an illustration from per
sonal observation in. Chicago last De
cember, $1.04 per box paid to the
grower for Oregon apples, freight, 50
cents, the Chicago Commission Com
pany selling the apples for $3.00 per
box, and the retailer at 60 cents per
dozen. - The commission man . made
more on the apple than the grower
and the 'railroad. Some blame H'.ie
railroad Not so. The commission
man is at fault, and he should be
compelled to sell the apples at a reas
onable price, and the time will come
when this will be effected. It Is a
work worthy of the best efforts of
the organizations which ae delving
FREYTAG
it Inspector
into the question, and its effect will
work for good to the producer and to
the consumer. -V
The time is coming when Oregon
apples will be in every household.
Oregon is noted for its apples, cher
ries, pears, in fact many kinds of lu
scious fruits, and we must not weary
of well doing, but look after our trees
and keep out the troubles, for it pays
to keep the trees in thrifty growth,
and. to "have clean apples.
It costs so ilttle to produce good
clean fruit, and the actual effort nec
essary to its attainment is small com
pared with the pleasure of seeing and
eating clean and wholesome fruit dur
ing the winter when fruit tastes so
delicious. There are some articles of
diet which when we are told are "good
for us,"' immediately lose their pala
tableness. Not so with fruit. It
tastes just as good though we know
it is one of the most healthful things
we can eat. The market value of good
clean well packed fruit is higher than
that which has anthracnase spots,
scab, scale and is wormy, and care
lessly packed. Attention to every de
tail of all these conditions has made
the fame of Hood River apples world
wide.
That there is demand for good fruit
is ' shown when some orchardists in
our section are receiving as high as
5 1.50 per box for apples,
v Care should be taken by every fruit
grower to keep his orchard free from
pests, but if you have allowed any of
your trees to become badly infected
to such an. extent that" to fight the
pests is too great a task, the danger
to your clean or young trees is too
menacing to allow the infected trees
to remain standing. Remove them
and burn them before your good trees
are attacked by the fungus and pests
which work their destroying powers
rapidly. One tree infested with scale
or antracnase will soon spread the
pests throughout the orchard, and pre
vention is easier than cure.
The scale is nothing more than an
apple louse, and lice are not profitable
even on a laying hen, for they sap
her vitality 'and impoverish her sys
tem, and soon she laysno more eggs.
Chickens can fight them, and by dust
ing and scratching help keep them
under control, but the apple tree can
only let them multiply till some times
scale is piled upon scale. The trees
which are infected are aftectsd h
much the same manner as a lousy
hen, but is expected to go on produc
ing fruit while the scale piercas the
thin bark of branch or the. skin of
the fruit" and thereby sucks its susten
ance from the sap.
If you will follow toe instruction set
forth telow7 better fruit will be the
result and you will be eating apples
long after this little paper is forgot
ten. it is too late at this time of the yeai
to kill the scale, but prevention of

spreading can be. effected. The fol
lowing sprays will help keep the
scale in subjection. Spraying for an
thracnose should take place Just be
fore the first fall rains, 'but an ar
ticle will appear later In "the season
which will take, up this matter.
Spray for the scab before the
blooms open, using 1 gallon lime and
sulphur solution to 30 gallons water.
After the blooms have fallen use 1
gallon lime and sulphur and 2 1-2
pounds arsenate of lead to 50 gallons
water. In June use 3 quarts lime and
sulphur and 3 pounds arsenate of lead
to 50 gallons of water. About Aug
ust first use 3 pounds arsenate of
lead to 50 gallons water. ' The last
named recipes" are for the coddling
moth. However the lime sulphur so
lution is for the scab and will pre
vent the young scale taking hold. It
does not matter where this remedy- is
used, it will always be found to be
a , preventive of wormy apples.
Fruit so treated will be found to keep
all winter if intelligently handled and
stored. ' ' - -
POULTRY RAISING
(From OREGON CITY PUBLICITY)
Almosc daily inquiries come to thi3
office in regard to this industry in
Clackamas County. There are many
reasons why the question "Is poultry
raising profitable," may be answered
in the affirmative, and one of the very
good reasons is our proximity to that
really good market, Portland. The
number of transients in and out of
and through Portland add thousands
yearly to the large permanent popu
lation of the city who must be fed.
Meats are high and eggs are sub
stituted, eggs are used in many ways
besides, and eggs command always a
good and during the fall and winter
seasons, a high price.
Turkeys, chickens, ducks and geese
find a ready market at good prices,
and reliable high-class stock and eggs
bring high prices.
The smaller towns, too, help solve
that always paramount question
market and with this feature out of
the way, one may go on to consider
the raising and feeding of the flocks.
The care of chickens is much the
same where ever they are raised, and
cleanliness must be the watchworl
here as elsewher. Food values must
be studied and an egg producing food
furnished to the laying hens, and suit
able food to the growing chickens.
. Green feed' is one of the essentials
for the maintenance of a healthy egg
producing flock, and this we have in
abundance and every day in the year.
Kale is eagerly gobbled up and relish
ed by the fowls. Mr. R. . L.- Badger,
a dairyman of the Beaver. Creek dis
trict, brought in to this office t,he first
of April a kale plant weighing 40
pounds. This plant had been growing
all winter, and at intervals during the
winter had furnished .feed for his
cows and poultry. The leaves are
stripped off and hung-up where the
chickens can pick at them.
- We seldom have weather ranging
below 28 above, and freezing point
in fact is not often reached, so chick
ens do not have the shock" of extreme
DGER
cold to set them back.
Chickens in a young orchard help
with the pest problem. It Is wise to
arrange your runs so that a change
may be made, and something grown
