The Qrand Ju-y Report. We copy the following from the grand jury report: "Our session has been prolonged on account of business coming before us that should have been attended to by the various incorporated cities and towns of Douglas county. There are 22 licensed saloons in Douglas county paying an annual license of 9,200. Eight thousand eight hundred dollars of this sum is paid to the incorpora ted towns and cities of the county. These saloons not only pay this an nual license of $400 each, excepting Myrtle Creek which pays $S00 per annum, but each saloon keeper exe cutes a bond to the city or town where his saloon is situated. This bond is conditioned that he will keep nr. nnWlr hnn.w nnd rhnt. he. trill Tint nermit anv unlawful eamintr or riot- ous conduct in or about his house and thathewillnotoDennor uermit his nlaeeof business for the nnrnose of traffic, on the first dav of the wfislc commonlv called Snndav. That he will not give, sell or supply spiritous, malt or vinous liquors to minors or habitual drunkards, nor to any per son at the time ;n a drunken condi tion. It will be seen that the control of the saloon is under the incorporated town or city within which it is lo- cated, butsomeof these municipali- ties fail to controL So we have in- dicted a number of the saloon keep ers in the cities and towns of Douglas county for permitting unlawful gam ing in their buildings and while these saloon keepers have been violating the law and violating the conditions of their bonds they are but little more to blame than the executive of ficers of this municipalities, to-wit the mayors, whose duties requires them to see that the saloon keeper meets the requirments of his bond. These cities and towns get the bene fit of the license money, the bond is given to them and it is the duty of the officials of these respective mu nicipalities to require the saloon keepers to obey the law.

Among the first callers on the President on Saturday were Chief Justice Fuller and Associate Justice Harlan, of the Supreme Court of the United States. While they de- clined to discuss the object of their visit, it is known that they brought to the President's attention the mat- ter of their treatment by Major Mc- Cawley at the President's reception to the judiciary. It is understood that they resent Major McCawley's action in giving some members of the Diplomatic Corps precedence over them in the line passing before Presi dent and Mrs. Roosevelt. They hold the action to have been unprecedent ed and in the circumstances unwar ranted. Major Mcuawley deiends the posi tion he assumed by urging that, as guests of the Nation, the diplomats were entitled to precedence in the line, irrespective of the fact that the reception was given to the judiciary, As we understand affairs in Ore- gon the temperance people themselves ora f rv Klamfwl -fnr flip InwdnWTl dlVPfl , ;n tinder f np nnmfi of PAlnnns. 1 The temperance people insisted on to - I . ...nHiin l.om7 in front, nf ton fmm tut.

The Senate committee on privileges and electors decided by a majority vote to go on with the investigation against Smoot. The writer while in Ogden at the National Irregation convention was told that while he had only one wife that, like King Solomon, he basked in the smiles of several concubines, and we will add, the same as a majority of the men do who are investigating his case. The great difference however, is: Reed Smoot contributes to the support of his sweethearts while the government at Washington supports an army of con cubines for Senators and Congress men it tne scores ot delectable cases coming to puouc notice every year are only half true. C. B. Wade, the deposed cashier of the First National bank of Pendleton, was allowed to depart from that town on Friday. His wife was faithful to him and he is either shamming or is actually sick at heart and his physi cal strength is gone.

The Grant's Pass City Council pro poses to close the cardrooms, billiard parlors and candy stores on Sunday as well as the saloons. At their meeting Friday night an ordinance prohibiting the keeping open of any store, shop or other place of business in the city of Grant's Pass on Sunday, except drug stores, doctors, under takers, livery stables, butchers and bakers, was presented and read twice.

If the Southern Pacific railroad keeps up the laudablo crusade against their employees frequenting saloons, several of tho establishments will go out of business in Roseburg. George A. Rose, cashier of tho Produce National bank of Cleveland, 0., stole $1S9,000 from tho bank and was indicted by tho grand jury last Saturday. The saloons are now closed as tight as a drum on Sunday's and for this change the proprietors are to be com mended.

The amount for the river between Port- land and the sea was les3 than $100,- 000. For this project Major Lang- fitt recommended $1,200,000, but the War Department cut the amount down to $500,000, believing that no more than that amount could be uti lized in one year- " stated by the Chief of Engineers that the half- muhon, if it could be obtained this year by any means, would bo sufilcien until a river and harbor bill could be passed early in the session, perhaps before the holiday recess. mi ine engineers recommenaed, ana the War Department concurred in the recommendation for the appropri ation of $500,000. In addition $125,000 is favored for dredging. It is deemed very important, the Sen- ators say, that this appropriation should be made, but under the exist- ng conditions it cannot go in the regular sundry civil bill, in the regu- 'ar course. All of the Oregon im- provements, except The Dalles, are effected, and it is doubtful whether anything can be done before January 0f next year.

Tho department insists that these combined amounts are all thai can be utilized next year, and especially as tho stato will procure tho right of way. A fire broke out in tho Masonic Temple block in Chicago on Saturday. Several rooms on tho fifth floor wero occcupied by an X-ray manufacturing company plant. A workman threw a lighted match into a lotof excelsior and a blaze resulted which caused chemicals to explode. Thero wero 4,000 people in tho various offices in the building and all escaped without the loss of life. The work done by the elevator men was most heroic and it was due to their calmness that no latalities resulted. The damage done to the building was $50,000 and to the X-ray stock about $10,000. United States Senator Burton, of Kansas, has been indicted by the Fed eral Grand jury of St. Louis for ac cepting bribes.

Orcbard Cultivation. fcvery one likes good fruit, and but few gardens, however email, are thought complete without it. But, notwithstand ing the appreciation for good fruit, it is seldom found perfect in email gardens or orchards. The fault lies in too much dependence on the trees, or rather alack of interest in cultural methods. Trees are planted out in perhaps the most careful manner, after which they are ex pected to care for themselves and pro ducc good fruit abundantly. Tho fact is, uiey neea continual attention just as much as we do. This need not develop into a burden if regulaily and properly attended to. iow, ono 01 mo most important con- u.uuo v ..k IO .aw.ow and cool in hot and u.jr ncuuicr, yei now irequeniiy may trees do seen grow ing in eod or together with some crop that does not require cultivation. Such trees quickly outlivo their usefulness, and their stunted branches can only pro duco under-sized and immature fruit, Then old trees are expected to live on a small allowance of food. It is forgotten that tho roots of a tree have to get their food from nearly tho came coil year after yoar, and in the caso of eod land, even oven this food must bo divided. To have good fruit, health and vigor must bo encouraged not rank growth, which might bo induced by overfeeding, for this is opposed to fruit bearing. nor most moueraie sizea orcnarus or gardens, it would bo desirablo to com menco cultivating by plowing between tho rows in late fall, but in light soils, summer harrowing is sufficient Jndg- mem must do exerciseu, as to Uio ex tent of cultivation, depending on tho condition of tho trees.

Good stable manure may be spread on tha surfaco of tho soil niter tho latter is frozen, provided tho ground ia com parativoly levol so tho fertilizing consti tuents may not bo washed away. As tho feeding roots aro principally on tho outside, tho manure need not I s spread at tho baso of largo trees, but in a circle eovernl feet therefrom. Another, but moro laborious raothod, is to dig shallow trenches running toward tho biifu of tho treo, and fill in well-iotted or compost ed manure.
