One of these pro vides for the establishment of an experiment station for research work here and the other gives the county authority to create an annual fund for the employment of a county ex pert, this being the position which Professor Lawrence occupied previous to the recent entanglement. The bills are important to this com munity for the reason that they have to do directly with the one great Indus try of the valley. Every orchardist will benefit as a result of the action which the Legislature has taken. This, of course, in case that Gover nor West signs the two measures and there Is every reason to believe that he will do so. The prompt and effi cient solution of local orchard prob lems will be insured when these two measures are placed upon the statute books. The work which Professor Lawrence has been carrying on will be enlarged and extended and the ser vice to the comumnity, will be propor tionally greater. It will be an insur ance against the spread of any infec tious diseases which might at any time imperil the local orchard industry. The work of Representative Strana han and Senator Butler in securing the passage of these two measures has been unremitting and to both men are due the thanks of the district which they represent Local orchardists and the Commercial Club have also taken an active part in securing the pas sage of the two bills. A LESSON FROM JOAQUIN MILLER The lata Joaquin Miller believed that an individual could hardly perform a greater service than to plant a tree and he practiced this gospel by trans forming the bleak spot overlooking the Golden Gate into a beautiful grove, which now remains as a monument to him at well as a pleasure and inspira tion to those who visit the spot. We hear comparatively little about beautifying the country. Yet what looks more bare and uninviting than miles and miles of dusty roads with out a wayside tree to lend Its hospi table shade to the traveler or gladden his sense of beauty. What is more un attractive than a school house bare and unadorned without a single tree. And almost still worse what is more desolate than a farm house without a single climbing rose over the door way without a bed of blossoms in the front yard or a single tree stretching its protecting arms over the roof. The love of the beautiful brings with it gentleness, kindness and peace of mind. The home where the beautiful Is absent or forgotten is rarely a happy one. The home, the dooryard and garden of the farmer should be separated from his orchard and by making it a thing of beauty it will be come in fact a home and no longer a mere place of abode. INSPECTOR AND PATHOLOGIST Two offices, the duties of which do not harmonize, cannot well be com bined in the person of one official. It is for this reason that the county court will hereafter keep separate the offices of county fruit inspector and county pathologist The county fruit Inspector, if he performs bis duties properly, is bound to create friction between himself and some orchardists His office requires that he sometimes sacrifice the individual for the good of the community. The pathologist or horticultural expert, on the other hand, must be In a position to co-operate with the orchardists to the full est extent. It is obvious that be can not do this if he is under the necessity of taking the stringent steps some times demanded of the Inspector. Conger White Salmon Manager J. J. Conger has been elected man ager of the White Salmon Fruit Grow ers' Union. Mr. Conger was recent ly elected a director of the Union. He Is the owne-r of a young orchard three miles up the valley. He was reared on an Ontario, Canada, orchard, final ly going to St Paul where be went Into the drug business with a brother and continued it until five years ago when be came to White Salmon and bought the Rowland 20-acre tract. What Moses taught the Jews on hy cieue is good science today. We have not improved on the Ten Command ments. Job and Isaiah speak of the object of the world. Solomon describes the circulation of the blood. Genesis 1:1 Is the only bit of definite know! edge we have concerning the origin of the universe. The Bible is also scientific in that it accomplishes the work whereunto it was sent when a man gives It a fair chance namely: that a man is a sinner and Christ a Savior and that His blood cleanseth us from all sin. I believe the Bible to have been written by God because only the man who will quit his sins and surrender his mind to the leading of the Holy Spirit can understand any of its truth. Why? Because the Holy Spirit direct ed the writing of the Book and He on ly can reveal Its mysteries. Unlocks Life's Mysteries The Bible is the only book that un locks the mysteries of life. It is the only book that can answer these quea tions: Who am I? Whire am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? Why am I here? Again, I believe the Bible to have been written by God because it deals severely with the sins of its greatest heroes and that is unlike human au thorship. Abraham Lincoln's life is written up to show his virtues only and that is true of all human histor ians in dealing with great characters, but David had a man killed and took his wife; Solomon went into poly gamy; Abraham told a lie; Peter curs ed and denied Christ; Lot cheated his brother-in-law in a land deal (he was a real estate man from Hood Kiver, Oregon). The hand which wrote the lives of these men and recorded their sins is writing your life today and un less you get that record covered in the blood of the Son of God you will face those sins on the Judgment Day as you stand before a God of overpower ing brightness. The Bible Is the fountain head of all literature. Every great writer of civilization got his supreme theme from the Bible. As water cannot rise higher than its source neither can literature; and since the Bible can lift a drunken gutter "bum" up to God I maintain that the Bible comes from God. Again, I believe the Bible to have been inspired by God because it is up-to-date. It will convict men of sin today as well as it did a thousand years ago and it will reveal the sinful nature of men a thousand years hence. The Bible came from one of three sources good men, bad men or God. Good men cannot be liars and the men who wrote the Book claim to have been guided by the Holy Spirit. Bad men could not have written the Bible for bad men coull not dig to the depths of truth and logic contained therein; neither would bad men pronounce against sin as the Bible does. Good men did not write the Bible; bad men could not have done so; therefore God did write it. Shame on an infidel woman for the religion of Jesus ChrisX is the only one on earth which has a message of hope for woman. Only in countries where the Bible is believed in is her lot bear able. Is Beyond Human Invention The Bible is beyond human com prehension and therefore beyond hu man invention. No man understands the doctrine of the Trinity and yet it is found in the Bible. Who put it there? God and God only for He is the only one who could have done so. Thse who know the most about tin- Bible believe it and believe it to be inspired of God and those who fight it most bitterly are the most profoundlv ignorant of what it really teaches define and infidel as a fellow wh i fights the Bible because that Bible fights his sins. Agnostic is a Greek word that sounds very nice and it means I don't know. However, the Latin equivalent for agnostic Is Ignoramus and that i v n't quite so pretty sounding, Is it? The Bible reveals the only way to live and tne only way to die. INSPECTION AND RE SEARCH SEPARATED It Is the intention of the county court, as expressed by Judge Castner, hereafter to segregate the work of the county fruit Inspector and county pathologist by appointing two individ uals to fill these positions. "Professor Lawrence held both of these positions," said Judge Castner, "but the arrangement was not satisfac tory to him nor could the best results be obtained from the standpoint of the county. It was really never the intention that the two positions should be combined and It will not be done In the future. The expert engaged in research work cannot be constantly interrupted by calls to make inspec tions and the duties of the two offices do not harmonize." Steps are now being taken to secure the appointment of John n. Castner as county fruit Inspector. Petitions are being circulated and these will be sub mitted to Commissioner Weber of The Dalles asking that he recommend Mr. Castner'a appointment by the county court APPENDICITIS BOOK FREEI The Adler-1-ka book, telling how you can EASILY guard against append! cltls, and how you can relieve const! patlon or gas on the stomach IN STANTLY, is offered free this week by Charles N.

Eastern fruit growers are putting up their apples In fancy boxes. That la another reason for strictly enforced rules here. Poultrymen Get Together The poultrymen of Josephine count: are organized and are making a strong effort to make big shipmnets of young chickens, broilers and eggs to out'iJe points this year. Arrangements have been made in Portland to dispose of a large supply and it is expected 'hat some shipments will be made to the south. Incubator chicks are doing as fine as the weather condition cou'd not be better. Many of the poultry farms are being restocked with full blood chickens. Thousands at acres which ought to be In wheat will go out of the apple business In the next few years. An other big crop next year would hast en It and work to the benefit of the legitimate apple districts. Mrs. Bucket of Maine threatens to follow Carrie Nation's tactics.
