14 THE MORNING. OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, -JANUARY 13, 1908. UHITEIH INTEREST-: OF BETTER FRUIT Orchardists Bury Factional Rivalry and Discuss Prob lems of Horticulture. CHOICE APPLES ON DISPLAY Mere Than 200 Members f State Society Attend Annual Session ' and Listen to Papers on . Practical Questions. -, Having Miried the hatchet of over Bealous rivalry, 200 horticulturists, repre senting all of the prominent fruit-growing sections of the state, are attending the annual sessions of the Oregon State Hor ticultural Stieiety, in the Woodmen of the World Hall, at Alder and Eleventh streets.' Assembled at this meeting are the- apple fanciers of Hood River, the Rogue River Valley and the Willamette Valley, and a commendable feeling of harmony pervades the meetings, which are devoted to an earnest and intelligent dis cussion of subjects conducive only to the v general production of better fruit uni- formly in every section of the state. Not the least important attraction of this, annual meeting is one of the most creditable exhibitions of apples that has . ever been shown at a similar gathering in ' this state. In all there are about 2uQ : boxes of the very choicest of Oregon apples that have been entered in friendly competition. Then: is an especially keen contest on among the exhibitors of the Ncwtowna and the Spltzenbergs. although all of the other varieties, so successfully grown, are well represented. Jn connection with the apple exhibit, the Yamhill County Walnut Club has an ex cellent" display of English walnuts that the experience of these exhibitors has dpmonstrated can be produced profitably in this state.

Lewis, of Salem, 'who discussed "The Fruitgrower's In terest In the Conservation and Distribu tion of Water." He urged the necessity of legislation for regulating the appro priation of water and at the same time Kiulciiiii wttu iiKiiia. All au)iui l Hi the value of an unfailing water supply for horticultural purposes, the speaker cited an instance in the vicinity of Walla Walla, where, from 200 acres of Irrigated land. JCiOO.OOO worth of fruit had been gathered.. Irrigation projects for the re clamation of 394. OIK) acres of arid land in the state of Oregon, . announced the speaker, are under way either through Federal, state or private enterprise, a de ; velopment that means much to the state. ' ii.. i i - jiiiiiL-uiLurc in cnriv lays. "Reminiscences" was the subject as signed Dr. J. R. Cardwell, ex-president of the Horticultural Society. It was an interesting paper in which the veteran horticulturist reviewed ttte history of : fruitgrowing in this state from 1S,"i2. when Oregon practically supplied California with pest-free apples.- until the present time. He gave a brief history of the , Introduction of different fruit plants Into this stat together with the appearance ; of varibun pests and the success that has , intended the efforts of the State Board of Horticulture in a campagtn of educa tion to eradicate these unwelcome intrud ers from the orefiards. -. M. Asplnwall, of Brooks, championed the "loganberry and Its Culture. ,v "While this fruit is'' a hybrid, the product of a cross between the blackberry and the r;upterry.. originated oy .Dr. xogan. or Simla Cru. Cat., Mr. Asplnwall spoke highly of its great productiveness and the wonderful adaptability of the Willamette Valley to it cultivation. -Joseph Hull, of Newberg. created some- ' thing of a surprise among the fruit growers when he recommended drying black raspberries on trays in the sun. He ' called attention to the success with which ! farmers in the vicinity bf Newberg have i been raising this fruit which' he said was ! one of the heaviest producers -and most ! profitable grown in the stale.- During t last season, he said, . ten tons of this fruit had been evaporated and marketed lit Sprlnghrook. a small station, In Yam ; liill County, and ior which the producers ; received 54.i a- ton aboard" cars at the ' shipping point. A Vercler, of Skilem, gave an interest ' ing paper on "Spraying." (n which he j argued that -the growing of fruit for commercial -purposes In this state can j only be accomplished by the use of j vower sprayers. He reconimcnded the use of compressed air. Open Exhibit to Public. Tom Richardson, manager of the Port i land Commercial Club, gave a compli mentary talk and at his suggestion the society adopted a resolution, extending an Invitation ,to all the commercial organizations- of the city and the public si-hool children as well as all progres-r slve cltizens to visit the exceptional ex hibition of fruit at the Woodmen hall. A. C. Newell, of Gresham, read a paper on "The Standard for a Nurseryman Salesman." . At the morning session, reports were read from H- C. Atwell, of Forest Grove, and E. R. Lake, of Corvallls. president and secretary, respectively, of the as sociation. Both reports congratulated the fruit srowers of the state for the achieve ments that have been attained towards " promoting the horticultural interests of the state. James M. French, of Ellsworth, Wash., discussed "Pruning the Prune," and J. U. Shepard. of Salem, read a paper on "Some Features in Orcharding." Today's" programme will Include the fol " lnlng addresses: "Neglected Opportuni ties," I. T. Reynolds, of Salem; "Selec tion and Breeding," F. W. Power, Salem: "Oregon .Horticulture Needs." L. M.

Several changes In the horticultural laws of the state will be recommended ho the State Legislature next Winter by a Joint committee representing the State Horticultural Society, the State Board of Horticulture and the Pacific Coast Nurserymen's Association, These subjects were Informally discussed by prominent fruitgrowers of the state at a conference held in the Imperial Hotel last night. It was decided to request the State Horticultural Society, which is in session in this city, to appoint a committee to meet together with a like committee from .the Pacific Coast Nur serymen's Association, in April. At that time it will be finally decided what subjects of legislation will be pre sented to the Legislature. The fruitgrowers would like to see the quarantine regulations - amended slightly, that" the fruit interests of the state may be afforded better protec tion. It is also desired that the work of county fruit Inspectors in the vari ous counties be extended and that these officials be employed regularly by their respective counties throughout the state. With the exception of Wasco, Marion, Lane and Multnomah Counties, where inspectors are employed continu ously, these guardians of the horticul tural interests of the state work only a part of the time on a per diem com pensation. It will probably be recom mended that the law be so changed that the inspector of each county shall be employed by the year. In this way It is expected the inspectors will be en abled to visit personally every orchard in his county, instruct the fruitgrower along horticultural lines, and collect valuable statjtlcs showing the acre age of trees, the yield of fruit and oth er data relating to this important in dustry. Last night's conference" was attend ed by the following fruitgrowers: W. K. Newell, of Gaston, president: H. M. Williamson, of Portland, secretary-; and Commissioners R. H. Weber, of .The Dalles, and J. H. Reid. of Milwaukie, of the State Board of Horticulture; L. T. Reynolds, J. R, Shepard and L. M. Gil bert; of Salem; Secretary E. R. Lake, of Corvallls. and President H. C. At well, of Forest Grove, representing the State Horticultural Society; and F. W. Power, of Salem, president of the Pa cific Coast Nurserymen's Association. OREGON" APPLES FOR CHINA Oscar Vanderbilt AY ill Go to Hong kong for Orders. Oregon apples are to be introduced to Hongkong. Oscar Vanderbilt. of. Hood River Valley, is to sail about the middle of January from San Francisco for. China to arrange for shipments of the coming year's crop to that country in quantities large enough to supply Eng lish and American residents with the fruit that for years has come from more distant points and which has command-' ed such high prices as to make it beyond the reach of any eave the wealthy classes. Mr. Vanderbilt expects to arrange to place apples in Hongkong at a figure that will mane it possible for people of ordi nary means to purchase them. Oregon fruits have been sent to Vladi vostok for some yeans past, and com mand good prices, but no regular trade has been developed with China. The purpose of Xr. Vanderbilts . trip is to open that market by establishing agen- and neighboring markets. : Dr. FOUR CRAFT FIXED Big Increase in Lict of Vessels En Route. OSBORNE IS THE LARGEST Mitsui & Co.

The British vessel is now en route from Guaymas to British Co lumbia. She will take coal at Nana i mo before coming to x-ortland to load. The cargo for the Bessie Dollar will be fur nished by the Portland Flouring Mills Company. The( British steamship Baron Cawdor has bVen fixed for Portland loading by Kerr, Gilford & o. The rate has not been announced. She will load in March. The steamsnlp la now at Honolulu. She is a craft of 2764 net. tons register and will carry a good cargo of wheat. Her des tination will be the United Kingdom. The fourth charter announced yesterday was that of the British ship Segura, which has been taken by the Portland Flouring Mills Company. The Segura is 1700 tons burden and is now at Acapulco Mexico.' Chartering of both sail and steam 'tonnage has been more active during the past two weeks than for sev eral weeks past. The financial situation is much easier, and exporters are able to handle their cargoes. Receipts are good and- the price of wheat holds up. The tonnage which blockaded the port for several weeks has been practically cleared out. and nearly every vessel in the harbor is working. TWO GRAIN CARGOES CLEARED Exports for January Pass the Million-Bushel Mark. - Balfour. (xuthrie & Co., cleared the French ship Thiers yesterday with 120.753 bushels of wheat, valued at $106,677, for the United Kingdom for orders. McNear cleared the British ship Claverdon with 137,098 bushels of wht for the same place. The cargo of. the Claverdon is valued at $132,292. The Thiers will- leave down this morning and.the Claverdon will sail from St. John at daylight. The clearance of the two grain car riers brings the fleet for January up to 11 vessels with a total of 1.061,161 bushels of wheat. While the number of vessels which will get away during January will be greater than that of December, the total grain shipments will be less for the reason that no steamships have cleared during the present month. During December there were six large steam ships carrying wheat t clear with for eign cargoes, while none have got away In January. SAILOR WANTED FOR LARCENY William Stevenson, Alias Mack, Steals Money and Jewelry. William Stevenson, alias William Mack, well known on the waterfront as a vendor of cheap jewelry, arid who was recently released from the County Jail, where he was serving a sentence for one year, is wanted for the larceny of $30, in money and watches and personal effects, from the officers of the British ship Buecleuch. Stevenson, under the name of Mack, shipped on the vessel two weeks ago as a second mate. He was apparently broke and did not possess even a sailor's bag. He stayed with the ship long enough to get acquainted with the craft and the of ficers and then took French leave. SCHOONER LCCTT SIGHTED Captain Dahlquist Believes He Got Glimpse of Overdue Vessel.

Neglect of even an ordlnary cough or cold is apt to leave the lunrs sore and especially susceptible to bronchia! affec tions. To break up a cold quick ly and cure any cough that.is curable there is nothing more effective than a mixture of one half ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine, with two ounces of "glycerine and a half pint of good whisky. Take a teaspoonful every four hours. Five ounces of tincture Cinchona compound can be used instead of whisky with the same result. The ingredients for this mix ture are not expensive and can be purchased at any good drug store. It will always be found more satisfactory, however, to . purchase each separately and mix them at home.

Uric acid Is a deadly poison that is produced in -the human body, and it is the duty of the kidneys to collect this poison from - the blood, and to pass It safely out of the system, together with all waste water. It is the presence in the body of an excess of urc acid that causes so much pain and suffering, and so many of the aches that are commonly attributed to rheumatism. The kidneys are bean-shaped organs, cbmposed cf masses of little tubes, all of which pour their secretions into a main channel that leads to the bladder. In this way the kidneys pass off more than an ounce- of poison every day when in health. But it does not take much to set the kidneys back, and when they get be hind, they can not right themselves without help. The uric acid begins to clog the kidneys, causing that dull, heavy aching In the back, and sharp twinges when stooping or lifting:. It crystallizes in the muscles and joints, and every turn or twist brings keenest torture. It attacks the nerves with neuralgia and sciatica. It brings head ache, dizziness, langour, and disorders of the urine. Try a good kidney medicine if you have Mny of the above symptoms.
