' 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.
A discussion of tho relative values of
Fprays took up most of the afternoon ses
sion. A discussion regarding land fer
tilizers began with an address deliver
ed by C. H. Welch, of Mount Tabor. He
spoke of fertilizing land for small fruits
and said he lutd found most successful
the planting of vetch in the fall and
plowing the thick- matted growth under
when IS Inches tall. In the spring. Tho
growth of vetch he faclliuttfd with
hpreadlng of commercial fertilizer, pot
ash, nitrate of soda, raw bone and land
plaster. This form of fertilisation has
kept tho berries grown by him In very
good coudltlon for several years.

"RALLAKT) ASKS NEW TRIAL.
Manager of Columbia Theater Files
Motion in Esmelton Suit.
.Manager A. H. Ballard, of the Coluanbla
Theater yesterday filed in Justice Jteld's
court a motion for a rehearing and new
trial in the suit brought by Frederick
Esmelton, the well-known actor, who
was formerly a member of the local stock
company.
This case was tried on Tuesday and re
sulted in a verdict for Esmelton. allowing
him $50 as compensation for an alleged
broken contract.
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.
The second allegation Is that the evi
dence of the plaintiff was insufficient to
jjtotify ln decision of the cott,and that
it was against law. Y ' '
Manager Ballard also filed a motion for
the release and discharge of the attach
ment and fnrnlhed an undertaking" for

Commission Merchant Confident He
Will Regulate Private Car Lines.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 11. The annual
convention of the National League ot
Cdmmlssion Merchants began here to
day." President Charles B. 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"

A meeting of the Young Women's Chris
tian Assoclationwas held, last night at
which four members of the" executive
board, whose terms of office had expired.
were re-elected and reports of every
branch of work conducted by the organi
zation were made. There wag a large at
tendance and the very encouraging reports
awakened renewed enthusiasm In the as
sociation work. The members of the board
who were unanimously re-elected were:
Mrs. L H. Amos, Mrs. James Falling,
Mrs. Jacob Kamm and Miss Hazeltlne.
The ex-secretary. Miss McElroy, was re
membered and a motion prevailed to send
her greetings from the annual meeting.
The report of the president, Mrs. W. J.
Honeyman. was a general review of the
year's work In the Various departments
and was full of interest and ambition for
the future of the association. The trav
elers' aid work will occupy the attention
of the Y. W. C. A., in common with other
women's organizations' the coming Sum
'mer, and under this head Mrs. Honey
man announced that it was planned
to establish headquarters at the Fair In
the form, of a Swiss chalet where women
could find rest, lunch and other necessi
ties, the revenue to be applied to the per
manent building fund of the Y. W. C. A.
Space has been secured for the building
and about $1500 will be put Into the propo
sition, which amount will be raised with
out appealing to the public. The, great
need of a permanent building was also
dwelt upon and Mr?. Honeyman stated
that one would probably be erected not
later than a year from the coming Sep
tember. The library of. some 400 volumes which
Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett and friends pre
sented to the association during tae year
was mentioned as one of the roost useful
donations received and appreciation ex
pressed. The new tea room In Olds, Wort
man & King's store was shown to be do
ing a good business, the proceeds ot
which will be devoted to the domestic
science department. A fine teacher has
been employed by this department, who,
it is hoped, will be here not later than
February to reopen the classes.
Each Department Growing.
Miss Vance, the secretary-manager of
the association, also had a fine report,
reviewing In detail the work of each de
partment and class. Bible study classes,'
the many branches of the educational de
partment, the lunch room, work of the so
cial committee, transient guests and regu
lar boarders, the Summer cottage at Gear
hart, membership and the- library were
all touched UDon and an accurate ac
count given of what has been accom
plished by each. MIsp Mabel Hazeltlne,
the efficient treasurer, gave a concise re
port of the receipts and expenditures of

by the association 'by a unanimous vote
of thanks for her services.
In addition to these general reports the
chairmen of the different committees re
ported, including membership, . sewing
classes, travelers' aid, business girls'
building committee and others.
One. of the most Important announce
ments of the evening was that Mrs. Hon
eyman has been Invited to serve on the
National committee, which Is an honor
not only to the lady herself, but to the
Portland association and of which it Is
Justly proud. Delightful music was fur
nished by the Association Mandolin Club
and the Girls' Glee Club, and at the con
clusion of the business session a social
hour and refreshments were enjoyed.
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.

Patent Medicine Instead of Liquor.
CORVALLIS. Or.. Jan. 1L (Special.)
Because they had been selling patent med
icine, composed principally of liquor, since
Benton County went dry. Corvallls drug
gists narrowly escaped prosecution yes
terday. All of them were summoned to
appear before the Deputy District Attor
ney, where each admitted the fact of hav
ing sold the patent medicine and other
bitters. It appeared, however, that all
were ignorant of the fact that the sale
of the preparation is prohibited, and on
that account no complaints were made.
The incident, however, has stopped sale
of the stuff, as well aa of other proprie
taries known to contain large per cent

Not Cure Child Grew Worse,
CURED BY CUT1CURA-
IN TWO WEEKS
Mrs. George J. 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."
