NO CHEAP APPLES
BUT WORMY
IMS
Poor Must Go Without Since
Market Is Denied to Pest
Infected Fruit.
SCIENTISTS GIVE IT UP
Food Commissioner Bailey and En
tomologist Cordley enable to
olve Problem of Cheap
and Bugless Apples.
How to make apples so cheap that
tho poor can reach the price, was a
tough question last night for J. W.
Ballcy, Food and Dairy Commissioner,
who guards the people's food, and Pro
fessor A. B. Cordley, entomologist of
the State Agricultural College, who
makes a specialty of the bug aspect of
fruit culture.
The two wrestled with the subject
a long while, and finally emerged from
the tussle at the same hole they had
entered, namely, that -the poor should
have apples cheaper than $3 a box, but
how to get them cheaper tney couia
not exactly tell.
That wormy apples should be admit
ted to the markets so that persons
with scant means can afford the Eve
fruit, was the opinion of several of
the bystanders, but this. Mr. Bailey
combated while Professor Cordley was
half-way willing to see this relief allowed.
"Prohibit the shipment of diseased
fruit to market," said Mr. Bailey, "and
Its sale, and you will encourage the
production of good apples and the de
struction of pest-ridden orchards," and
he then entered into defense of the pres
ent law, which ordains this prohibition, as
follows:
, State Lbw on Subject.
Section 4194 It shall be unlawful for any
pprson, firm or corporation, to Import or sell
any Infested or diseased fruit of any kind, in
the State of Oregon.
Section 4105 Every person who pack, or
prepares for shipment, to any point within
the state, or who deMvers or cause, to be de
llvered to any express agent or railroad
agent or other person, or to any transporta
tion company or corporation, for shipment to
any point without the state, and fruit or
fruits, either fresh, cured or dried, that is
Infected with Insect pests or diseases Injurious
to trees, shrubs, plants, fruits or vegetables.
Is guilty of misdemeanor. (Penalty J25 to $100
fine.)
"But," was Interposed, "why will
wormy or scaly fruit do more damage
to fruit culture In the market than In
the orchard?"
"Keeps the bad apples from com
peting with the good," suggested a
voice, but Mr. Bailey dissented.
"Protects the health of consumers,"
chirped in another, bvt this time Pro
fessor Cordley dissented.
"Are wormy apples injurious to the
health?"
"Not at all," responded the bug; pro
fessor. "Are scaly apples?"
Cherry Pest Is Coming.
"Not at all," he said again, and
added: "In a few years it will be
necessary to fight a cherry pest as
well as an apple pest. But the cherry
pest will not be unhealthful either."
A murmur of doubt went around the
audience.
"White maggots already are making
their appearance In cherries," went on
the professor, "but they taste very much
like the cherries themselves in the dark.
It's that way now frequently with peas.
Maggots often bore into them, but people
eat them without knowing it. They are
cooked up with the peas and people are
seldom the wiser," and the professor
talked as if he did not perceive the little
shudders that thrilled up and down the
spinal marrow of his listeners.
"I can remember 25 years or less ago."
' put In Mr. Bailey, "when you could pick
up an apple the darkest of nishts any
where in Oregon, and not bite into a
worm."
This was true as every one knew.
"But we're getting the pests like all
other settled communities. I can't re
member the time, back where I came
from in Maine, where we didn't have
"em." and Mr. Bailey was quite sure
apple-growars hereafter would have to
fight for their fruit forever and a day.
The conversation had drifted away from
the poor man's price subject and some
body tried to bring it back, but with
'out much success, t
More Apples and Cheaper.
"The way to get cheaper apples," sug
gested Professor Cordley, "Is to raise
more of them."
This seemed a self-evident proposition,
but Mr. Bailey demurred, saying:
'They'd all be taken up Just the same;
the demand is so big."
i "That's what we used to say about
prunes." ventured Bfimphnriv. 'a-ne
that Oregon is full of 'em they're too
?hcap to give away."
But Mr. Bailey insisted that prunes and
' apples were in entirely different classes;
; that the world's surfeit of prunes came
' in very small part from Oregon and that
"this state was In no danger of a surfeit
of fine apples, produced In other parts of
the world.
"Would the sale of wormy apples pull
down the price of fine fruit?" was asked.
"Not at all," agreed Mr. Bailey and the
professor.
"Does the ban on wormy fruit boost UP
good fruit prices?"
' "No," they agreed again. "The demand
for fine apples Is so tremendouffend Is
outside the wormy apple shipping zone so
far that its prices are entirely independ
ent." "Does spraying bring up the cost to J3
a box?"
"No, it does not."
"What does, then?"
"Demand for fine fruit."
"Does spraying add 5 cents a box to
the cost of production?"
The Professor and the Food Commis
sioner agreed that E cents a box would
' amply cover cost of spraying.
"What would be a fair price, and yield
a fair return to growers?"
$1 a. Box Fair Price. J
"About 1 a box," testified the two
authorities. "Of this, 75 cents would
be for .the gTower and 25 cents for
the dealer." That would put apples
within the reach of the poor and yield
a fair profit to the producer.
"How can we get prices down to
thst?" was asked.
But this time the food sentinel and
the bug professor were treed.
"By raising more apples," advised
the professor. ,
"That would be good for the country
and the producers," said Mr. Bailey,
"but the extra supply would be
snapped up Just the same. However,"
he added. "I might say. If I could do
it without offending my good friend,
Millard Lownsdale, that greater pro
duction of Ben Davis apples would
help down prices," meaning that the
Davis variety was an inferior fruit
that would sell at an inferior price.
"But why not let the poor buy the
wormy fruit?" Interposed a listener
who wanted cheaper apples and less
talk.
"It wouldn't hurt anything: much,"
commented the professor.
"It would encourage retention of
pest, orchards," objected Mr. Bailey.
"Oregon has thousands of acres of
such and wants to get rid of them."
"Do pest apples spread worms and
blight more In market than in the
orchard?" was asked, but such did not
appear to be the cse.
"Then why not eat the pest apples?"
But no answer was forthcoming.
DENY COMBINE EXISTS
Plasterers Say They Have Not
Joined Hands With Contractors.
Local Union No. 82, of the Operative
Plasterers' Association, in session last
night discussed the advisability of re
plying to a rumor made current re
cently, and, as some members objected
to newspaper notoriety, a resolution
was passed permitting Individual
members to make certain statements. A
statement prepared by J. Robson was
submitted to The Oregonlan as his in'--dlvldual
opinion:
"A statement having been circulated
to the effect that the operative plas
terers and contracting plasterers had
effected a combine detrimental to the
welfare of Portland, I feel called upon
to assert the falsity of any such state
ment. "There is In this city a number of
small contractors who are doing in
ferior work at small prices, but such
contractors are not members of the
union, neither are they employers of
union men.
"No agreement has been made with
our employers. We have asked for a
raise of 50 cents per day to begin Sep
tember 1. That will be the minimum
wage. We are privileged to get more
If we can. We consider this a Just de
mand, considering that no other city
on the Coast Is paying plasterers so
small wages as Portland men are get
ting. "It Is a strict rule of our union that
no member shall take a contract. This
protects the employers, and so- long as
the Journeyman Is treated as courte
ously by his employers as at present
the rule will be rigidly enforced. '
"There is no discrimination between
employers of organized" labor and no
agreements relative to assisting any
contracting plasterer In any way has
been entered into." .-
GIVEN MILITARY FUNERAL
Thomas Canning Buried In Second
Oregon Plot at Klvervlew.
The funeral of Thomas Canning, which
was held from Flnley's undertaking par
lors chapel at 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon, was one of the most Impressive
services ever held in this city. Forty of
his old comrades, members of Scout
Young Camp, No. 2, Spanish War veter
ans, took part. Jay H. Upton, commander
of the camp, led the services, which were
conducted according to the ritualistic for
mula of the camp. When Commander
Upton closed his address, the camp chap
lnin, Gordon Peel, delivered the touch
ing prayer of the order, and then Mrs.
Thomas Bailey and Mrs. J. C. Wells, of
the Ladles' Auxiliary, sang a duet in a
minor key.
The concourse of comrades and friends
then followed the soldier to his last rest
ing place In Riverview Cemetery. As the
procession halted, three comrades came
forward. The first dropped on the coffin
bit of evergreen, signifying the ever
lasting remembrance of his comrades;
the second placed a white rose beside the
evergreen, emblematic of purity; - while
the third deposited a small flag, a -token
of his devotion to his country, and of the
country's appreciation of his bravery.
Again the ohaplam. offered prayer, and
as the body was lowered into the grave
the comrades fired three volleys. Roy
Dobie, who was regimental bugler in the
Philippines, sounded "Taps."
The grave is in the circle begun when
the first martyrs to freedom were shipped
home from the Philippines, and is south
of and Just to the right of the monument,
the figure of which was modeled after
Canning.
Floral offerings were made by his camp,
by the Multnomah Club and by many
friends.

ELECTRIC LINEMAN CHASED BY
MANIAC WITH -A SHARP SICKLE
Fright Sends Mechanic to Bed After Bloodcurdling Experience With
Patient at State Asylum for Insane.
CAN you imagine anything more
terrible than being chased by a
maniac armed with a dangerous
weapon? Fright is a terrible thing,
as can be attested by a lineman at
Salem who onhy a few days ago was
chased by one of the inmates of the
State Insane Asylum. The lineman
escaped with his life, and that is about
all, as he was laid up for several days
in a very serious condition. He was
not harmed by the lunatic, but the ail
ment which sent him to his bed and
called for the doctor was Just plain,
simple fright, spelled with big black
letters.
A Portland visitor to Salem brings
back the blood-curdling and creepy
tale of the terrible experience of the
lineman. Superintendent Brandt, of
the Pacific States Telephone & Tele
graph Company at Salem, Is the au
thority for the story, and while he ad
mits It is an extraordinary tale, he de
clares It Is the gospel truth. As re
lated by Superintendent Brandt the
story In substance follows:
A few days ago one of the linemen
was sent to the asylum to repair tele
phone wires which were crossed. After
he had finished his work he clambered
down from the pole into the yard of
hi.uo aj.viura, in wnicn one or ine luna
tics supposedly of the harmless va
riety was diligently at work cutting
the grass with a sickle.
The lunatic was of powerful phy
sique, a man of unusual strength of
muscle, but of shattered intellect. The
lineman, indeed, declares he looked
like the giants you read about in the
children's books.
The lunatic, when he saw the unfor
tunate lineman, who stepped down
from the pole within a few feet of
him, assumed the crouch of a ferocious
animai about to spring upon its prey.
His muscles became tense, his eyes
fairly gleamed with wlldness, and
white froth began to gather about the
corners of his mouth.
He made a spring and the lineman
WILL PATROL RIVER
Fish Warden Van Dusen to
Enforce Closed Season.
CANNERIES HAVE CLOSED
Salmon Fishermen Suspend Opera
tions Until the Reopening of
the Season at Noon
September 10. "
"All Salmon fishing, in the Columbia
has ceased," said Master Fish Warden
Van Dusen yesterday after arriving
from Astoria, "and all canneries are
closed."
Mr. Van Dusen will patrol the river
with two gasoline launches, to see
that there shall be no- poaching be
fore the re-opening of the season Sep
tember 10 a- noon. Commissioner
RiseliflHl, of Washington, has notified
Mr. van Dusen that ne win co-operate
to the same end, and will patrol the
river on his side.
"There is no disposition to break
the law this season, said Mr. Van
Dusen. "The fishermen and the can
neries have been prompt to obey the
law, although sockeyes were running
pretty well at the cljpse last Saturday,
and would have added something to
the pack. -The signs are favorable
for a good-sized pack, after September
10, of sock-eyes and steelheads. The
canneries that ran after last Saturday
noon, did so only to 'clean up' the
fish they had on hand."
The pack this year, the Master
Warden remarked, would probably be
about equal to that of last year
500,000 cases, with the equivalent of
the pickled flsh included. At present
the pack seems to be about 400,000
rases, but when the canneries shall
report to the Fish Warden, under
oath as the law requires them to do,
Mr. Van Dusen says the present figures
will be enlarged.
The extent of the hatchery work this
year cannot yet be foretold closely,
because the hatching season is early,
but Mr. Van Dusen looks for a suc
cessful output of fry. The new
hatchery station on the Santiam river
cannot be used this year because of Its
destruction by forest fire. The state
hatcheries which will operate in addi
tion to those of the National Govern
ment are on the McKenzie, the Wal
lowa, the Snake and the Salmon rivers.
The Wallowa station does not promise
much this year, because thetO. R. & N.
Is building a railroad grade'down that
river making fills along the bank
and blasting. Mr. Van Dusen looks
for his best hatchery results on the
Snake at Ontario and on the McKenzie.
Hatchery work on the minor Coast
streams has a favorable outlook. Log
ging has hampered hatcheries on
those streams In past seasons, but Mr.
Van Dusen thinks he Is finding ways
to meet this .difficulty. Logs by being
rolled into streams to wait for a
freshet to wash them down either
choke the streams so that salmon can
not approach the hatchery racks or
tear Tut an ordinary rack when the
freshet comes. By malting the racks
strong and giving them a flat, smooth
surface on the top, it is found that
logs are carried over, by the higher
water, without difficulty.
Since this plan was foHowesoh
Yaqulna River, three years ago. the
take of salmon eggs has been in
creased from little or nothing to 6,000.
000 and 8,000.000 eggs a year. The plan
has been applied to Siuslaw River, and
Coqullle River will come next.
RESIDENCES IN DEMAND
Suburban Realty Near Business Dis
trict Sells Readily.
There Is an unusual -demand for low
priced lots, close in. those ranging in
price from $300 to $500 being most in
demand. Real estate brokers report it
extremely difficult to list this class of
property, while there Is unlimited in
quiry for unimproved residence, lots
within the B-cent car limits. Twenty-six
real estate transfers recorded yesterday
represented a total v valuation of. only
$17,382, an average ofi little less than
$669 each. Very few of these were "love
and consideration" transfers, but nearly
all deeds expressed the actual cash
values. One hundred and forty-three
transfers for the past four days repre
sent a valuation of $151,174
Recent transfers reported: are: Henkle
& Harrison have sold a quarter block
at the head of Madison street in King's
Addition to William Hayhurst for Rich-
dodged. Realizing his Inability to cope
with the maniac, the lineman ran, but
he was encumbered with the heavy
pole-climbing paraphernalia fastened
to his ankles. But he made pretty good
time as it was.
Over the wall went the pursued, and
right after him came the pursuer yell
ing like a charging negro cavalry
man. Over fences, through creeks,
brushy patches and whole fields tore
the lineman, and right after came the
maniac. Several times he was about to
give up, bhit when he looked back and
saw the glistening sickle waved by his
pursuer and his great fangs and hear!
his blood-curdling shrieks, fright gave
him new strength and he was able to
tear more roads through more brush
patches.
But at last the irons on his legs told
on his strength and he begankto slow
his killing pace. Closer and closer
drew the madman, so close In fact
that the lineman could hear his breath
ing. Every second he expected to have
his skull laid open by the razor-edged
sickle, and he saw more visions of
his past than does a person who is
drowning. He could fairly feel the
sickle striking him, and drew a pic
ture in his mind of how the maniac
would hack and hack his body
until nothing remained of It but a
loody trunk. At last his strength
gave out completely and he sank by
the roadside gasping.
Closing his eyes he waited for the
cruel blow. There was a ru3h and the
maniac was beside him. He could feel
his hot breath. Then he felt a light
tap on the shoulder and heard the
words, "Tag, you're It."
Thaj was all. The lineman could
hardly believe his senses. He opened
his eyes, and there, walking down the
road away from him, plodding in the
direction of his fireside the insane
asylum was the giant maniac, swing
ing his sickle like a happy school boy
and whistling some popular air.
Now, really, can you blame the line
man for getting sick?

CIVIL SERVICE ISN'T ALL
AVhen Practical Experience Goes
Hunting for a Job.
OAK POINT, Wash., Aub. 27. (To the
Editor.) The editorial In The Oregonlan of
last week Wednesday, calling attention to
.the inefficiency of the Civil Service lncapa
bles, who under Civil Service administration
bave been able to displace competent and
capable men, men who knew enough, about
the woods not to get lost within 20 feet
of a country road, as rangers and foresters,
is both timely and to the point.
What good could be expected from the
appointment of men to fill the position of
forest rangers who have no knowledge of
the woodland, experience on the plains, the
mountain side and the dim shadows of the
forest, it Is hard to conceive. Such men
may possibly be able to tell after cudgeling
their brains- to rouse them into activity that
27 is the cube of 3, or that 10 is the square
root of 100. But such knowledge as this
doce not square them on their course when
hopelessly lost in the -woods and likely to
die of hunger and exposure, and the men
who failed to answer such questions as the
above, or similar questions, and were turned
down by the Civil Service examiners are
anxiously sought after' to go out and bring
in the lost man who could answer these
questions. What knowledge of the rules of
grammar or book lore had such men as
Kit Carson or Joe Meek? Yet what won
derful sleuth, in wood ' or mountain land
they were. y
Another brancA of the public service has
suffered in a like manner by the displace
ment of competent men, and the appoint
ment of Incompetent Civil Service men "to
take their places, namely the engineers de
partment of the light house service, where
men are required who are men bred to the
sea and the coasts. The principal knowl
edge required here Is -not a knowledge of
orthography, but how to launch a boat in
a heavy sea, how to man It and handle it
properly in the same sea, after it is
launched; how to rig up a derrick, reeve
oft a . tackle, heave the lead and splice a
rope neatly and deftly.- The Civil Service
men sent to perform these duties got their
feet tangled, in the falls of the boat tackles
they were trying to lower, and after much
difficulty getting into the boat they had
Just lowered they got tangled up with the
blades of their oars, which they were vainly
endeavoring to get Into place in the row
locks. Once away from the vessel's side
they could only with the greatest diffi
culty proceed, and with greater difficulty
get back, until the. masters of the vessels
doing light house service had to protest
against such a condition of affairs and ask
for a change.
These instances but remind us thst - the
Civil Service Is a good deal of a faroe
where practical men, no matter how - in
telligent, have to give place to a set of
political hacks and favorites, many of whom
have no ability to recommend them, noth
ing in their make-up which we instinctive
ly call to mind when we make use of the
phrase, "The man behind the gun." Noth
ing but a shallow coat of information which
they committed to memory for the sole pur
pose of passing the examination of the
Civil Service Commission, and which they
learned by rote, as a parrot learns to say,
"Polly, put the kettle on." And how ar
rogant and domineering many of these Civil
8ervlce gentlemen get to be, after they
have attained a little authority, lording
it over every-day people whenever the op
portunity offers, people who are very much
superior In general Intelligence than they
are. It frequently happens that they defy
the heads of the various departments, giv
ing people . to understand that they wear
the "imperial purple" of the CWH Service
and that they cannot be dismissed. So
arrogant did some of them become a short
time ago that President Roosevelt was
compelled, figuratively speaking, to take one
or two of these Incapable by the nape of
the neck, as a terrier takes a rat, and
shake them in order to Instil a little de
cency Into them, and give them to under
stand that the machinery of Government
would not stop even if their .great ability
and versatile talents were lost to the Gov
ernment. It is time that the people awake to the
true state of affairs in this matter and ask
for a change or modification of the present
system. WM. NEWELL,
LOSS FROM FOREST FIRES
A. Jj. Mcljeod, of Hammond Lumber
Co., Reports Heavy Damage.
A. L. McLeod. of the Hammond Lum
ber Compan'y, who has returned from a
trip to Detroit to estimate the damage
of the recent forest fires along the San
tiam, finds that the Curtis Lumber Com
pany, a corporation in which Mr. Ham
mond Is largely Interested, suffered
heavily. The company owns large bodies
of very fine timber along both sides of
the Santiam in. the vicinity of Tumble
and Blowout Creeks. The former Is on
the north side of the Santiam and the
latter pours in from the south. Along the
headwaters of these creeks the fires are
still raging, according to reports received
yesterday by the Curtis Lumber Com
pany. Large districts of timber held by this
corporation have been burned over, but
it is Impossible at this time to estimate
the damage, as it is believed that If the
down timber, which is mostly green and
Is In fairly good condition, can be logged
off during the next two or even three
years, the trees will be found suitable
for cutting. Efforts will probably be made
to get this timber out to the mills be
fore decay sets in.
The fire is reported to be burning at
present in the Cascade Forest Reserve,
where it has made heavy Inroads on the
standing timber in the Santiam district.
Many small holders of timber outside of
the reserve are also losers by reason of
the forest fires.
France as a World Banker.
Review of Reviews'
France is now playing the role of the
world's banker; England lost her claim
to the title when she went to wnr in
South Africa. A- generation ago one had
to go to London to feel the pulse of the
international money market. Today one
makes a better diagnosis In Paris. The
strides toward financial supremacy -nsJMch
France is making have, been most rapid in
the paat five years. In that time French
Investors have taken up many -milliard
francs of foreign obligations. They fur
nished Great Britain with much of the
capital that went to finance the Boer war;
they loaned enArmous amounts to Russia,
practically supplying the money needed
in tho struggle against Japan; they pro
vided Germany Willi l.OOO.OOO.OQp marks in
W04-05 to carry on her tremendaus Indus
trial enterprises; they took a liberal
amount of the lat Japanese loan, over
half of- the Russian loan of last April, i
and finally, they supplied the borrowers '
in the United States with fully tliO.OOo.COO
during the tight-money period of last

of the
J "The Weber Pianos which
I have been using for the
past two years have been a
great source of pleasure to
me.
I "Their beautiful and sym
pathetic quality of tone
makes them ideal for accom
panying the voice."
LOUISE HOMER.
THIS is the seventh consecutive
year that the Weber Piano
has been the choice ' of the
reat opera company, not
only by Mr. Conned himself but by
the individual artists, for their per
sonal use. In addition to Mme.
Homer, the following opera singers
of. world-wide fame have Weber
Pianos in their apartments during
their stay in New York:
CARUSO
BURGSTALLER
KNOTE
VAN R00Y
MME. NORDICA
MME. HOMER
SCOTTI
PLANCON
etc., etc.
Including tho pianos used at tho Metropolitan Opera Houb H.ielf and In tha
homes of the individual- artists, over 60 Weber Pianos are required to supply
the demand created by the appearance of the Conried Metropolitan Opera Com
pany In New York each year.
The piano that is thus given preference over all other pianos is the Web
er, because of its rich, sympathetic, singing tone an individual quality of
tone which not only blends perfectly with the human voice, but makes it
the ideal instrument for all homes where the highest musical standards
are understood and appreciated.
