TO BE PROTECTED Yamhill County Growers Have Declared War on the San Jose Scale. 3IAYOR SLAMS DOWX THE LID : : : : - ; ese . . - r iBi NWY CLEARING E3 SOCIETY HAS BEEN FORMED Stirring Addresses Are Iadc at a Well-Attended Meeting;, of the Horticultural Board Held 1 at McMlnnvillc M'MIICNVILLE. Or.. Jan. C (Special.) The mealing of the Horticultural Board hold at this place today was largely at tended, several counties being represented. The meeting, was held In the Imperial Thoater and was opened by Chairman Judge William Gallaway, whose chair was surrounded by boxes of Oregon's big, choice red apples, all grown In Yamhill County. A few general remarks on fruit condi tions in the Valley were made by Rev. A. J. Hundsakor of this city. He was followed by H. L Williamson, of Port land, whose remarks were also confined to the Valley fruit. Conditions and as to .tlie reasons why visitors are not pleased 'with conditions as they exist today. He said: "Any person would form a low estima tion of Valley fruit resources when, on traveling by rail over any part of the country, he is . greeted by orchards that are uncultured, untrimmed and blighted . by the ravagos of scale. If wc are to make the Industry the success that it should be we must raise our standard of culture." Mr.. Williamson's remarks were perti nent and heartily received by the fruit growers present. ' D. C VanHorn, of Dayton, and J. H. Reos, of Springbrook, had excellent speci mens of red apples on exhibit and told Just how they were sprayed and cared for from the time, the pinkish blossoms blew until the apples were mature. A marked contrast was shown between well-tended and ill-cared for fruit orchards. Just bofore the morning session gd Journed a committee consisting of A. C Goodrich, of Jforth Yamhill; D. C. Van Dorn, of Duyton, Thomas Prince, of Dun dee: A. M. Fanning, of Sheridan, and P Klncaid, of Newberg, was appointed to draft articles for a permanent organiza tion. After the dinner hour the congress as sembled at the call of .Chairman Gallo way. The committee on organization re ported and the society formed to be known as the Horticultural Society of Yamhill County. About lf0 men and women paid the membership fee and signified their intention of pulling together for the bet terment of the fruit Industry. A notable feature was the fact that no urging was .necessajjy to the securement of member ship. The officers elected to the new asso ciation were as follows: President. D. C. . Van Horn; secretary-treasurer. W. H. kingory; board of control, A. H. Rees, F. L. Post. A. M. Fanning, I D. Moulton and W. M. Fr;cr "Ered Klncaid, of JCowbcrg. read a. paper qn work of canneries. He spoke of the scale that does so much damage to fruit and told how such" fruit was not desir able for canning purposes. One strong point made was that small growers will not spray their fruit and thus It Is very difficult to exterminate the pest. A plea was made to have all fruitgrowers war against the San Jose scale for contami nated fruit cannot bo used as material for case goods. Frank Wallace exhibited some boxes of large Baldwin apples of an unusually rich color and told how the color could be se cured only by the proper pruning of trees that the sunlight could have freo access to the forming fruit. A petition to the County Court asking for the appointment of a County Fruit Inspector for this county was largely signed. The address of Professor Courdray, of Corvallis, was filled with practical Infor mation. He dealt with several of the most common fruit pests, when, how and whore they were active and how thev could best be battled against. The speaker also told Just how to prepare various sprays and when and how they should bo used to be most effective. After his ad dross, which was Intensely practical, an opportunity was given visitors to ask questions. Scores of questions were asked by the gardeners and frultralsers and wore satisfactorily answered by Pro fessor Courdray. The other leading addresses were given by Charles V. Galloway and W. K. Newell. These gentlemen showed an un usual Insight into fruit conditions of the Valley and a clear conception of the im mediate needs of the producer. The gathering was very enthusiastic and fruitgrowers think it the most help ful meeting of this nature over held In the county.

Finally he, Barlow and Drury all put their weight on one end and Coffee and Clifford hit the ceil ing. Thr6ugh the 'glass in the Joor it was a very entertaining pantomime.

Now and then angry Words could be heard, much to the amusement of the outsiders. TR1XE HAS GOOD MATERIAL Veteran Traiiicr Expects to Develop Some Speedy Men at Corvallis. CORVALLIS. Or., Jan. 6.

FIND BLAZED TRAIL Detectives on the Steunenberg Murder Case Confident. REFUSE TO GIVE OUT NEWS Denver Attorney Arrives at Caldwell and Identifies the Principal Sus pect as Thos. Hogan, Whom Ho Knew In Denver. BOISE. Idaho. Jan. 6. (Special.) Citi zens of Caldwell seem to be in a state of subdued excitement generally. Since the first horrible news of the murder of ex Governor Frank Steunenberg came out. no day has passed when so little talking has been don. Here and there a group of citizens are seen discussing: the pros and cons of the murder case, but the general excitement wa never stronger than to day. Every one seems to feci that they are standing upo'n the threshold of some very important developments. That Captain. Swain and his entire force are -working hard and straining every en ergy to fathom some Important mystery in connection with the case Is evident. Every officer is "sawing wood." "There Is something doing." said Swain today to the representative of the States man. "I cannot give you much news now. but there will be plenty of it for you soon. Wc know now where we are at. and we have our work laid out for us. There is a lot of grubbing to do. All I can say is that we arc hard at work, and with definite results in view." It is the opinion of leading men here that Captain Swain has struck what might be termed a "blazed trail." Humors and unimportant evidence hold no induce ments to attract tho concern of his de tectives now. They seem to be working with a definite object in, view. What evi dence is being gathered must be of a very Important nature, for It is being closely guarded. C. F. Jones, the chemist, arrived at Caldwell from the State University today, and will leave forBolms on the early train. His work will be done here. The powders and other substances found at different places among Orchard's effects, or in the room he occupied, will be taken along in 17 packages. These have been scaled and numbered. Mr. Jones receipting for each number. There are now only three suspects held. In jail Thewe arc besides Orchard, John Toe, us he is called, who was arrested at XsmpH, and Campbell, who was captured at Council. There was a mistake mad wit respect to the ns arrested at Coua- dl and afterwards released. It was Har old, who hnd the scarred face, and It was h who wr.s set free, after satisfying the officers he had nothing to do with the assassination. It is stated three more sus pects will be take n Into custody tonight. ATTORNEY CALLS UPOX HOGAN Comas From Colorado' and So Is De nied Private Interview. BOISE. Idaho. Jan. 6. James J. Sulli van, a Denver attorney, arrived In Cald well today, and Identified the suspect held for the murder of Governor Steunenberg as Thomas Hogan. a man whom he knew In Denver In connection with some civil business. When he saw Harry Orchard, or Hogan. this morning, he said: "Hello, Tom! What nre you doing here?" Orchard replied: "I was arrested for the assassination of Frank Steunenberg. I was going to telegraph you if you hadn't showed ur today." Orchard, or 'Hogan. as he persists In calling himself, notwithstanding his state ment that he is Harry -Orchard, asked that he wight have a private Interview with Sullivan. It war explained that, un der the law of this state, a nonresident attorney could be denied an Interview with a prisoner in private, and that any non resident lawyer was obliged to secure an Idaho attorney as his associate In an; case. Sullivan went to the jail again this aft ernoon and sought to secure a private in terview with Orchard. The Sheriff re fused to grant It. An Interview between Orchard and Sullivan then occurred in the Sheriff's office, with the Sheriff and one or two other officers present. Sullivan said to Orchard he had no Idea of taking up the defense. He did not come for that purpose, he said. He was willing to ex tend any favor he could but he was not to be regarded as an attorney in the case. Orchard then wrote a telegram to the law firm of Robertson, Rosenhaup &. Mil ler, as follows: "Let me know when you will come to defend me Immediately. I can make other arrangements. THOMAS HOG AX."

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfect ant and purifier In nature, but few real ize Its value when taken Into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take of it thQ. better: it is not a drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and Im purities always present In the stomach and Intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking, or after eating pnlons and other'odorbus vegetables. Charcoal effectively clears and Improves the complexion. It whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the - Injurious gases which collect In the stomach and bowels: it dis infects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one forrn or another, but probably the best-charcoal and the most for the money Is In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges: they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form, or, rather. In the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mix 1 with honey. The dally use of these lozenges will soon tell In a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and tha beauty of It Is that no possible barm can result from their continued use. but. on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: T advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bow els, and to clear the complexion and pur ify the breath, mouth and throat: I also believe the liver Is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but 36 ccrAs a box at drogstores, and although In soate sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get mere and better charcoal In Stuart's Charcoal Loaeges than In any of the ortftaary charcoal tablets."

The better facilities and the degree will now keep at the Institution another year large numbers of graduates who have been going to Stanford and Berkeley and East, no less than three of last year's class being- now .t Cornell. Tho popularity of the new arrange ment at the college Is attested by tho fact that students are already seek ing entrance into the new courses, from which it Is expected that there will be graduates this year from among post-graduate students now studying at trie Institution. The sub jects touched in the added year are chemistry, mining, mechanical, elec trical, mathematics and agriculture.
