Simon M A. complete description of every phase of the work of the Municipal Department of Public "Works .during 1914 with recommendations for policies, improvements and changes for the future to facilitate ami better the city's administration, are given in the department's annual report to the City Council completed yesterday by Com missioner Uieck. The report will go to the Council Wednesday. Mr. Dieck starts his report with a paragraph of praise for his employes. If says that the men and women in his department are with few excep tions capable and willing workers. lie Fays .the city's efficiency as applied to these employes has worked well but would work better if the Council would establish the policy -of rewarding effi ciency witli increases in salary. Mr. Dieck recommends that salaries be based first on efficiency and second on length of service and character of work. raviBK Itrpalr riant V recti. Establishment of a municipal pav ing repair plant is recommended. Mr. iJrock says there is but little paving under municipal maintenance at pres ent but early next year there will be over 2.000.000 yards which . must be cared for by the city. He says it will be an economical move for the city to establish a plant and do the repairing Instead of having it done by contract ors. Because of the unusual number of elderly laborers and other employes in the city service and particularly in the Department of Public "Works. Mr. iJieck urges the adoption by the Coun cil of a pension system. He Kays the increase in efficiency by reason, of culling out incompetents would more than pay for such a system. The occupancy of streets and street ends for private purposes is said by jVlr. Dieck to be against proper public policy. He recommends a campaign to force the vacation of the street areas. Because of the fact that the otreet cleaning and sprinkling bureau la not in touch with road construction Mr. Dieck asks that this bureau turn over to the City Engineer the task o ilinff roads during the Summer months. Street Repair Plaa Advocated. Mr. Dieck urges the Council to fix a definite policy regarding the repav lng of streets where pavement is worn out. There is a question as to whether this should be done by the abutting property owners on the street or by the city out of the general fund. Inasmuch as there are several streets where re placement of pavement js needed. Mr. Xleck urges an early settlement of the question. Simplification of the law for street xtensions ia urged. It Is declared that the law is complex and cumbersome Recommendation Is made also that the city cease attempting to force weed cutting on vacant property by the usual assessment method, hut that the police compel cutting by arresting persons who permit their grounds to become unsifrbtly. Creation of a civil art board is urged tv Mr. Dieck. He asks that the Coun cil submit to the voters at the June election the question of creating such a board. The purpose, he says, would be to pass upon the desns for bridges and other public improvements to see that they are of becoming appearance. Clvte Exhibit Recommended. Frequent public exhibits of charts and designs showing what the city government Is doing is recommended. Mr. Dieck says such exhibits have done much good in the past. Recommendation Is made that the city establish a sys tem of elevator inspection. It is de sired to inspect both the installation and operation of elevators to ee that they are properly sareguaroca. To protect the mass of city records now piled in the basement of the City Hall. Mr. Dieck recommenas tne con struction cf storage vaults. He says the city might save enough in a single lawsuit to pay the cost of the vaults. There is great danger of loss of im portant records, he says. imst--t'f iJAi-jm, -ti&gs&wJM t "77x2.

In Portland a share in an estate valued at more than $3000 awaits him. Relatives of Mr. Wunder have been unable to locate and notify him of his pood fortune and that the settling of the estate awaits on his return to Port land. George W. "Wunder, a brother, who lives at 915 Princeton street, has been trying to locate Henry Wunder aince last Fall, but without success. In September Mr. Wunder went to Aurora. Or., to take worlc in the hop fields. Nothing has been heard from him aince. His mother died in 1911. and the settling of the estate was not pro pitious up to the time of his leaving, until recently , i t:fTHIS little book does not under- B take to present a comprehon- five account of our Western most states, or even of the Oregon country. It is intended simply to sug gest a few of the many attractions which may be . encountered here and there along the Pacific, the references to which are woven together with threads of personal reminiscences per taining to characteristic phrases of the Western life of today. For the stranger it may possess some measure of infor mation. For the man to whom Oregon, California or Washington stands for home, these pages may contain an echo of interest for we are apt to enjoy most sympathetic accounts of the things we love best. But for visitor or resident, or one who reads of a country he may not see, the chief mis sion of these chapters is to chronicle something of their author's enthusiasm for the land they concern, to hint of the pleasurable possibilities of its out-of-doors, and, mayhap, to offer a glimp.se of the new West of today in the preparation of its greater tomor row." Such is the modest introduction writ ten by George Palmer Putnam, former newspaper man and now private secre tary to Governor Withycombe, in his new hook, "In the Oregon Country," a book in which he pictures the old Ore gon country, especially ofit-of-doors in Oregon, Washington and California, to gether with folk lore and pictures of the modern West in the making. The book has 1S9 papes, brightened by more than 50 first-class illustrations of places in the Oregon country that are scenic, gems. So important are these illustrations that this list of them is copied: The Columbia River Vp.lley and Mount Adams: the Man From Boise Describes God's Country in Terms of Sagebrush and Brown Plains: The Grain Country of Eastern Washington: A Western Mountaineering Club on the Hike: Along the Willamette; Mount Shasta: Mount Hood From Lost Lake Natives Spearing Salmon on the Co lumbia; Coasting on Mount Hood; The Pacific: Along the Columbia: Celi Falls on the Columbia; The North Abutment of the Bridge of the Gods; Where the Oregon Trunk Railway Crosses th Columbia: Columbia River, the Land of Indian Legends; The Dalles of the Columbia: Along the Columbia River a Region of Surpassing Scen ery; Central Oregon Travel in the Old Days: A Central Oregon Freighter: In the Dry-Farm Lands of Central Ore gon: Crooked Kiver l anyon, now spanned by a railroad bridge; in the Deschutes Canyon; Irrigation; 'It Was a Very Typical Stagecoach : In the Homestead Country: A Valley of Washington: A Trailside Dip in a Mountain Lake; "Sliding Down Snow Fields Is Fun.

So nat urally does he write, with the skill cf trained newspaper man and the view point of a former Easterner, that the scenes he describes seem to pass be fore us in panoramic form. Yet his book is not a guidebook, but rather a record of faithfully written impres sions. , Most of it is devoted to Ore fPBr and only portions. o It .to Wash ington and California. He writes also with the enthusiasm of a devotee in love with his out-of-doors. A short, appreciative introduction is written by Governor Withycombe, of Oregon, dated last January. "The New England states we inherit ed from Britain," writes Mr. Putnam, "although the will was sorely con tested. For Louisiana we paid a price. Texas and California we annexed from Mexico, and purchased New Mexico and Arizona. Alaska was bought from Rus sla for a song. Alone of all the United States, the old Oregon Territory be came ours by normal acquisition. Thence, perhaps, is the compelling at traction for the native-born of Oregon today. Mayhap a touch of historic ro mance clings about the country; or it may be the feeling of bigness, the broad expansiveness of the views, the mightiness of mountains, the splendor of the trees, and the air's crisp vitality that make Oregon life so worth while." This bright description of the Wil lamette Valley is notable: "A broad valley, rich, prosperous and beautiful to look upon, is the Willamette, and a valley of many moods. Neither in scenic charms nor agricultural re sources is its heritage restricted to a single field. There are timber land and trout stream, hill and dale, valley and mountain; rural beauty of calm Suffolk is neighbor to the rugged plc- turesqueness of Scotland: there are skylines comparable with Norway's, and lowlands peaceful as Sweden's pas toral vistas: the giant timber, or their relic stumps, at some pasture edge, spell wilderness, while a happy alder lined brook flowing through boulder dotted field is reminiscent of the up lands of -Connecticut. Altogether, it la rarely variegated viewland, is this vale of the Willamette." Then Portland. "Portland, the city of roses and the metropolitan heart of Oregon, stands close to where the Wil lamette, the river of our valley of con tent, meanders into the greater Colum bia.

But these are matters of business, and business was divorced years ago from the simple pleasures of the out of doors. Portland is a city of prosperity. Thaf fact strikes home to the most casual observer. Blessed above all else especially in the eyes of an East erner is its freedom from poverty. There are no slums, no 'lower east side' like New York's rabbit warrens, no white chapel hell holes. It is a clean, youthful city, delightfully located on either side of its river and rising on surrounding: hills of rare beauty. Its metropolitan maturity, indeed, is all the more remarkable for its youth, as 70 years affo the site of the town was a howling wilderness, set in the midst of a territory peopled at best by a few score whites." Space does not admit, unfortunately. of any more quotations from this de lightful book. That portion of it de scribing when Mr. Putnam went into the sagebrush 'country of Eastern Ore gon before the two rival railroad sys tems of Hill and Harriman raced each other down tho Deschutes Is particu larly enjoyable.

N a recent Issue of The Qregonlan I noticed that prunegrowers were somewhat doubtful as to the disease causing distortion and failure of the fruit,' and also as to the methods of infection. To enlighten those who are unable to secure information as to the disease and its remedy, I have pre pared some information on the subject, and, while my opinion may not be cor rect in every place, yet knowledge of this disease and the method used to spread the infection cannot be any thing but of interest to the growers. The facts and experiments are given to us by the famous mycologist, George Massee, In his recent textbook descrip tive of the present existing disease. The disease is known as the Exoascus Pruni (Plum pockets), which is a dis ease parasitic of the higher plants. The mycelium, more commonly, known as spawn. Is perennial in the tissue of Its host and mostly subcuticular. The plexus of the hyphae is developed just below the cuticle, which in time becomes differentiated into vegetative hyphae. These hyphae which are as cogenous develop into asci, rupturing the cuticle and forming a palisade-like form of asci standing on the surface of the matrix, entirely devoid of any covering at all. Microscopical exami nations of a diseased plum show the damaged caused hy the fungus origin ating from the hibernating mycelium and which Is responsible for the spreading of the disease. Spore Destruction Common Method, During my recent- Investigation of various diseases of fruit I found that the growers assumed that the great bulk of diseases caused by fungus was entirely due to spores infecting the host-plant and that the only success- i ful way to check the spread of the 1 fungi was to destroy the spores. Such method of preventing the spread was based on the assumption that the plant to be protected was free from disease until infected from without by spores. G. Massee in his work tells U3 that recent research has demonstrated the fact that In many of the most de structive diseases, spores play a small part in the perpetuation of diseases and in some instance no part at all; but. that certain klnds-Tf fungi (one of which is Exoascus Prunl) produces masses or long strands of mycelium which are capable after a period of rest of propagating the species inde pendent of spores, thus showing that the part thought by many played by spores is taken by hybernating my celium pressed on the seed or what ever portion of the plant serves for the purpose of reproduction; and con seauently the mycelium in the seed grows along with the plant and shows itself in the fruit of the plant without the fungus ever leaving the plant, and, absolutely independent of spores. Spraying; Failure Explained, The discovery of the presence of hi bernating mycelium and the reproduct ive portion of the host-plant explains wny spraying nas xaiiea to cneca tne disease and also accounts for the ap pearance of the disease on some new and heretofore unaffected locality. Mr. Massee In his recent issue tells us that Infection by means of spores is the most primitive and most .general method followed by fungi; what may be termed the more modern way of in fection by way of hibernating mycel ium, is quite as effectual, ana much more economical. When the balance between fungus and host-plant is per feet infection by means of hibernating mycelium, which passes from one gen eration to another without ever leav ing the host-plant, is rendered so cer tain that the production of spores is completely arrested. Potato-growers have said that infection by spores alone appeared inadequate to account for the sudden spread or the potato disease over a wide area of experi ments conducted at New Gardens, Lon don. England, on infection of the pota. to tubers. Plum- seedlings and peach seedlings showed the presence alone of the hibernating mycelium in the tubers and seeds and although spores showed np in the plants and were erad icated by spraying, yet the "spraying was without action on the amount of damage caused by the hibernating my celium. 1 ' Weather Plays Fart. I am told that the crop of prunes Is affected in some years and yet other rearft .th cjrojy U plentiful. This is due to weather conditions. Every grower can predict with almost cer tainty the advent of "plum pockets." of "peach leaf curl," damp, cloudy weather, warm weather being the sign, and under those conditions the disease is not the result of infection of spores, but is due to the fungus in the fruit that started from mycelium, stimulated to action by favorable weather condi tions. I have heard Escoascus diagnosed as brown rot, which is an apple dlseaso, on account of, I think, the plum's bear ing a small scab. These scabs arc not similar to Exoascus, but the leaves of both trees, in the apple and plum, are first attacked by spores. In -the case of the apple the rain washes the spores from the leaves onto tho apple, form ing a scab. In the case of the plum and peach the leaves are attacked from without, but the fruit is attacked by fungus set up by mycelium. The most vital question to the grower is, can this loss be prevented? This, of course, is a question which would require a vast amount of space to explain, but the answer is undoubtedly "yes." as proved by results. But the primary cause must be removed. Up to the present experts have been busy check ing the spread of certain diseases after their appearance and, although minor details have been attended to, the broad principles have been disregarded. In the United States, especially in the Southern and Eastern states, good work has been done, not only in check ing, but eradicating both mycological and entomological pests. clent shooting.
