A letter to tho faculty from Hon. II. U.
Miller of lirunts Tokb in answer to an
inipiiry, la in part as follows:
"I n the district where we packed near
ly forty carloads of apples Ihe pack did
nut average over lifty ier rent of the
fruit picked. This was iu Jackson and
JoHetihine counties.
" Ihe Rtcateft daiuano was caused by
the codlini: moth, but 1 also found a few
orchards that had been great producers
almost ruined by canker, and many
other valuable orchards almost ruined by
San Joso scale. Ihe entire crop of sev
eral orchardH, with a thousand bushels
each of otherwise fine apples, was worth
less because of scale. It is quite Bale to
eay (hut in tho Kogue Uiver couutry
alone tho loss of fruit from moth and
scale equalled fifty thousand dollars, and
the work ol tho codlmii moth and lha
apple scab throughout the Willamette
vulloy ia kd had that not one-tenth of the
apples urn marketable. I believe it a
very motieraiu estimate oi um ions in
this state this year from scalo, moth and
scab to phu'ti it nt one hundred and fifty
thoiiSHinl ilollars.
"1'he liiniiiid amount of sprayiiiK was
a great nurpiiso to me. I am tirmlv
convinced thut two-thirds of tho orchards
now heating good fruit will be worthless
within live years occuuse of failure to
spray.

Hon. T. T. Gear baa not been heard
from lately, but a number of newspapers
in different parts of the state are urging
him as a candidate for goyernor. The
Roseburg Plaindealeb savs: "It ia
generally understood tbat Hon. T. T.
Geer will be a candidate for tbe nomina
tion for governor. If bo be will have
quite a number of friends In this neck of
the woods, and will make a good run If
nominated." There ia no name, more
popular in Yamhill at this time, and
they seem to regard him in sbout the
same light over in Tillamook. We quote
tbe Herald: "Tbe logic of political
events in Oregon seems to point to tbe
nomination and election of Hon. T. T.
Geer, of Marion county, for goyernor.
Mr. Geer would be an ideal man for the
position. A clean man. qualified for tbe
position, unidentified with any political
faction, and one who has the welfare of
tbe common people of Oregon at heart,
being himself a member of tba farming
community, be would be a true repre
sentative ol tbe daring race of men who
have built up Oregon." McMinyille Re

Oakland Notes.
(From the Gazette.)
Tbe '03 bop crop is being contracted
at 8 centa.
Tbe mountains to tbe east bave worn
caps of snow during the week.
Oakland was visited by a bigb wind
sunday night, doing a slight damage to
signs and chimneys.
Mrs. L. B. Stearns and daughter Eth
el, of Portland, arrived baturday and are
visiting friends.
W. S. U'Ren was in Oakland Monday,
but disappeared as mysteriously as be
came. There were no trains out and so
horses from tbe livery. How did be
go?
An elk four years old, which has been
in captivity since it was a calf, fatted by
Bud Martin, was slaughtered Tuesday by
Neaa Brothers. It dressed 450 pounds,
and the meat Is said to surpass in flavor
that of the wild elk.
A Literary tlem.
Among the gems of Eoglish literature
entitled to rank with the Gettysburg ad
dress of Abraham Lincoln and Shakes
iieare'B choicest poetry, ia the following
lullaby of Superintendent Snyder of the
Belcher mtao:
Man is a vapor full of woes
Starts a mine and up he goes ;
Finds a pick heennnot wield
Enters then the discouraged Held.
Msu la a vapor full of woes
Behind a cay use about be goea.
He tackles a trail for timber land
Searching for a paying mine
He finds a lead with millions In it.
Happy he then for a minute!
He tiods at last it will not pay
Not a trace will it ursty
A season or two he runts about
Digs a hole and peters out.
