Rfd,, second vice-president, Lloyd Reynolds, member ol exocutlre committee. ' To police the Xruit orchards and mar kets of Oregon so that riot a pest Is al lowed to live for which there is a known remedy Is the desire of the State Horti cultural Society, expressed at the last day of the annual meeting, yesterday, at Knights of Pythias Hall. The best means of accomplishing this end was agreed to be a system of county inspectors. This course was recommended by Commission- Dr. J. R. Card well. ...... t. .... . er at Large. E. L. Smith, of the State Board of Horticulture. Mr. Smith said, in his address, he be lieved the Bourd efficient as far as it goes, but that through lack of funds, it can not properly patrol the state and markets. The laws concerning spraying for fruit pests are excellent at nresont. but Jhtre Is no adequate means of fm- luiuufc mcui. it js OTiicveu mere in no use attempting to obtain a larger appro priation from the Legislature for the Board, so the only remedy is to institute a system of counts inspectors as out lined in the following recommendation to the Legislature adopted by the Horticul tural Society: "Resolved. That Inasmuch as the ap propriations of the state for the support of cur state Board of Horticulture are whol ly inadequate to protect our fruit Inter ests by the enforcement of horticultural laws and regulations made in comform ity with them, we therefore most earnest ly recommend the appointment of county horticultural inspectors as outlined by out State Commissioner at large in his eighth biennial report to the Legisla ture " The report referred to which is now be inb published explains a system by which inspectors could be appointed where needed. The author leaves It with the fruit growers of the section Interest ed. Twenty-five of them petitioning the county court he considers a reasonable cause for the appointment of an Inspect or And to protect the community at large he recommends local mnrket in spectors who should rigidly enforce the law against selling fruit Infected with pests.. As to 'the existence of the pres ent resident-district commissioner, Mr. Smith believes they could do effectivo work undor the new system regulating the actions of the local inspectors, and would serve such purpose better than one state commissioner. Another important matter coming be fore the last day's meeting of the society was the extending of an invitation to tho American Pomological Society to meet hero this summer. At the same time there will bo an extra session of the Hor ticultural Society, the time for which Is to be set by the Executive Committee. At tills meeting President J. R. Cardwoll ex pects to have the best exhibit of Ore gon fruit ever shown in the state. On ac count of the Fair ho believes the Pomo logical Socioty wjll gladly choose Portland for its annual convention. A Dumber of addresses were made dur ing yesterduy. that of E L Smith as suming the greatest importance. An un usual and Interesting talk was given by J B. Pilkington on the growth of nuts in Oregon.

The motion for a new trial alleges an Irregularity in the 'former hearing by reason of the defendant's, exhibits not having -been considered as read by the court before rendering an opinion, -and the defendant was therefore prevented from having a fair trial.

Ayers, In his annual report, discussed very vigorously the question of private car lines. He said: "We have instituted a fight against one of the most unrelenting and unscrupu lous monopolies of the age; a corpora tion that terrorizes the railroads of our land and even goes so far as to say to the Interstate Commerce Commission, Keep your hands off; you have no right to interfere, no matter what our trans gressions may be; we are a private car line, and will continue to charge the limit we think the public will stand, and If perchance you are not satisfied to pay our toll for the privilege of living, you can let your goods rot. as you must do business with us or quit. "This Is what the Armour exclusive contracts mean, and the agitation of this matter and the publicity the press of the land has given to the Investigation nas startled the country." Mr. Ayers said the sympathy of the Interstate Commerce Commission was with the commhislon merchants, but the commission doubted Its power to give re lief. He highly extolled President Roose velt. "In him," Mr. Ayers said, "we have a man with whom we can with confidence rest our cause, believing that sooner or later he will find proper means to carry out that policy of .reform which was so clearly outlined In his message" WILL CARE FOR IMMIGRANTS Canadian Jews and Transportation Lines to Support Russian Jews.

AT THE THEATERS Whai the Press Agents Say. TWO POOR LITTLE CHILDREN Touching Drama Opens at Empire Theater Tonight. "The Two Little Waifs," Lincoln J. Car ter's strong melodrama, will be seen at the Empire Theater tonight, tomorrow and Saturday nights and at the regular mat inee Saturday. The five acts Into which the play Is divided are well staged. The stage setting and explosion effects are as a rule the mainsprings of a melodrama, but in this play Mr. Carter has given us a story of exceptional worth and con sistent In Its plot. The story has to do with twin sisters, one the sweet loving mother and the other a callous, cruel adventuress, which are taken by one and the same lady. The way In which she portrays these two characters and her lightning changes and "make-up" is some thing marvelous and it needs the closest watching to detect the fact that it is one person only playing the two parts. "THE HOLY CITY." The Wonderful Play at the Columbia Draws Immense Crowds. There is a reason for the crowds that arc nightly going to the Columbia The ater. "The Holy City" Is a great blessing. It Is as if a pastor spread out his hands and pronounced a benediction. It lifts one's thoughts to Heaven. It tells. In the most beautiful way, the dawn of Christianity the religion that changed the map and complexion of the world. , No sermon from any pulpit ever told as eloquently the beautiful story of Christ's Kindness, or preached more Im pressively the gospel of "Peace, good win toward man." To record that Portland Is rising up en masse to witness this exquisite setting of a magnificent drama that the Columbia Theater 1s crowded to the doors every performance is only setting down a fact that was inevitable. The management of the Columbia is to be thanked for putting on the play with all Imaginable artistic completeness, both as to scenic effects, and pictorial display. And, last but most important, the Co lumbia Stock Company (each and every member who appears In the cast) covers Itself with uncommon professional glory From Mary of Magdalene, the chief char acter around which the play is built, on down through the entire list of dramatic porsonae, the players are giving the per formance of their lives. Old heads (and wise ones, too) who are passing through the city en route East, drop In at the Columbia and fairly gasp at the splendor of the production and the excellence of the actors. As one gray-haired theater-goer said yesterday: "There never was such a pro duction, or anything approaching it, ever given before in stock." "The Holy City" runs all the week, wIth Saturday matinee.

Steese, of 701 Cobttro St., Akron. Ohio, tells in the foUowing letter of another of those remarkable cures of torturing, disfiguring skin humors daily made by Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment, after physicians, and all else- had failed: "I feel it my duty to parents of other poor suffering babies to tell you -what Cuticura has done for my little daughter. She broke out all over her body -with a humor, and. we, used everything recommended, but without results. I called in three doc tors, they all claimed, they could help her, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was eaten away, her ears looked as if they would drop off. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment and before I had used half of the cake of soap, and box of ointment the sores had all healed, and my little one's face and body was as clear as a new-born babe's. I would not be without it again if it costfive dollars, instead of seventy-five cents, which is all it cost us to cure our baby, after spending many dollars on doctors and medicines without any benefit whatever."
