To give ywu direct iufojnat >on I will tell you of something that I learned and observed to-day. The trees all looked well, were in good shape, were planted very accurately uearly all twenty feet apart each wuy, tbnt being the |x>pular distance for peaches, apri cots and prunes. The grounds all ap peared clean nud showed good cultiva tion. My nephew, Norris Plummer, planted his trees in January, 188). as follows: 700 Petite d’.Ajen prunes, 300 Moorpark apricots aud cherry, pear, peach and plum trees to make 1100 in all. Squirrels and gophers destroyed some which had to be replaoed, alxmt 100. Gophers are very annoying aud destructive here aud must lw fought continually. Here we have fruit pests numbers one and two, if indeed we may not count two for the gophers which burrow under trees, eat off the r<x»ts aud sometimes eveu girdle them above ground. They are all right aud do no damage with the exercise of a little vigilant care to see that they are killed first. The trees are beautiful. The sights even now are simply grand to my eyes and what must they lie when in bloom aud again when loaded with luscious fruits. now FRUIT pays Tint gbowek . In regard to returns, my nephew, from his prune trees, realized 81081.35 in INSO. and m 1887 sold 60.154 pounds of apricots, all for 2 cents a pound, de livered at a fruit-dryer two miles dis tant by a level road. Then he sold loth) pounds of cherries for 4 cents, and some peaches, besides what he gave away and reserved for his own iw. The totnl outlay for labor in picking, iu addition to bis own time, was 8175.85. Some orchards but six years old did not probably pay as well, as this one shows that it hits had good care, and the return has paid well for it, with the almost certainty of largely in creased returns iu the immediate fu ture. As an example of the revenue from orchards iu full bearing, I learn that Mr. Henry Bookson, Sr., has an orch ard of thirty acres in the same district, the trees consisting of peaches, apri cots and egg plums, which required the employing of fifty-seven men through the picking season and yielded AGO tons of fruit, which he sold for the princely revenue of 814,000. air chamlter to eqnalize the pressure and also an ordinary steam guage, which enables the pumper to know ex actly how to regulate his work, lest he | might, by causing too grout pressure, burst the discharge hose. There are attached to this pump two half inch hose, each 35 feet long, to each of which is attached a discharge pipe, which are eight feet long and made of quarter inch gas pipe, each terminating in a nozzle consisting of a brass cut-like piece, in which is confined, by a screw cap, a brass disc, about as large as a dime, iu the center of which is a small, narrow slot, as fine as a pin-point in width, by about one-eighth of an inch long. I Any spraying solution can be applied with this machiue, which, complete, costs in the neighborixxxl of 850. The disc at nozzle is patented. Now let us operate the thing. In a large kettle, I over a furnace or fire box, we place 2U gallons of Polar oil, 50 pounds of sal soda, itud 50 gallons of water. Boil ami stir until thoroughly dissolved and mixed, pour through a strainer into tank, hitch up the horses and we are ready for business. Retnemlier, this solution must be hot; more than simp ly warm. One man drives the horse, pumps and stirs the wash. He drives a short distance past the trees, between the rows, and a man carrying each dis charge pipe, holding with cloths to protect his hands from the heat, di rects the stream to the trees on his side in different dir<«ctions, until the spray, which looks like steam, has comletely euveloiied and covered every portion of the tree. Then all move on to the next trees. It takes alxiut four minutes for two men to thoroughly spray two full- grown trees. They thus get over alxiut 300 iu a day. This spraying, to be ef fective, must be done when the troes are dry, or when it is not raining, at least. KILLING THE CODLIN MOTH. THE OREGON EXHIBIT ALL RIGHT. IF YOU WANT FIRST-CLASS BREAD, White, Light, Which Will Retain its Moisture, M. L. ALFOBD, I wish to announce to the public that 1 have now on hand I know at what time he settled there, but he had been there long enough to have apple-trees in bearing when tlie writer first came to the coast in 1847. There was a man wintered in a small log cabin on Cabin creek, a little north of Oakland, in the winter of 1846-7. He did not atop there with the view of making it his permanent residence, blit only to preserve his Ixxtks, of which he hail some very valuable ones. He was in the immigration of 1846, which got stuck in the Canyon, aud he was afraid it would injure his Ixxiks to pack them through to the Willamette. I do not remember his name. In November, 1847, John and Wil liam Scott, sons of CapL Levi Scott, after whom Scottsburg was named, moved mto the valley and Lx>k up their residence in what is called Scott's valley in the ndrthern part of this county. The Scotts were accompanfol by a young man by the name of Geo. Caryell, who came out to assist them in putting up their cabins and getting things started. I think it was in 1848 that Thomas aud Robert Cowen, with the Roberts family, came out and set tled in the southern part of the Yon calla valley, where I presume Roberts's widow still resides, as I have not heard of her death. There was also a bachelor by the name of Jeffery who resided with Co wen for some time, he finally took up a claim near A. T. Ambrose’s present residence. David Hasty and Elisha Leggett in the summer of 1848 put in a small cabin and built a small Hutboat. on what is now the property of the Rev. Robert B<x»th iu Garden valley. Iu May, 1849, John Allen and Thomas Smith purchased Hasty and Leggett's interest and run the ferry until along in November of the same year, when they went back to the Willamette to winter. In July 1849, Jesse Applegate and family aud Charles l’utman aud fami ly moved into the Yoncalla valley, where Applegate took up his residence, and Putman resided with him until he took up his claim on Elk creek below Drain. In the fall of the same year Wm. H. Wilson married and brought his bride aud resided in Scott's cabin, the Scotts in the moan time had gone to the mines. Captain Levi Scott re sided in his eon's cabin iu the fall of 1848, In April, 1850, John Aiken and fami ly and Thomas Smith moved to the North Umpqua river to Winchester and built a cabin and put a flat lx mt on the river. Very s<x>n after Charles and Lindsey Applegate with their fam ilies, moved into the Yoncalla valley. During the summer of 1850 the schooner Mary S. Rolx>rts found her way into the Umpqua river and re ported a very fair harbor, which cansed a good many to locate down ou the river as near tidewater as they could get; and the fall aud winter following qiute a number of vessels found their way in and loaded with timber of vari ous kinds, which they sliipixxl to San Francisco. Captain Levi Scott had l<x?ated at Scottsburg previous to the arrival of the schixjner in the river. Among those who settled in the lower part of the valley in 1850 were Hatfield, Gol den, the Hudsons and the Wells: an<l iu the upper valley, John Long, Rea son Reed. Elijah Burton and others. Ex-Gov. Giblis also came iu the fall of 1850, and A. R. Flint, formerly of Rose burg and many others, some of whom I have forgotten. In 1851 Aaron Rose, Lenard Howe aud many others t<xjk up their resi dence in the valley. Joseph Knott ami family took up their residence in the north end of the canyon, where Canyonville now is. awakened by his father rising and leav ing the room. The boy went to sleep again, and the next minnte the cutire household was awakened from their slunibers by a thrilling shriek. The mother and the two boys, Willis and Wilburn, rushed to the room and found that Syuimie waa struggling in the' grasp of her fathor, who held her tight I with his left arm, aud with a long knife rained U|x>n her defenseless person a series of terrible stalls, almost every one of which penetrated some partof her laxly or head. The mother rushed for ward to intervene between the murder er and his victim. Willis seized his father's arm. Wilburn, while his broth er and father were engaged in a fren zied struggle at the side of the bed of his expiring sister, seized a double barreled shotgun and awaited a chance to pour the contents into his unnatural parent should it become nei^essary. The rapidly shifting positions of broth er and father gave him no opportunity nor occasion to tire the weapon. Shortly Landreth broke away and started rapidly for the rear door, still holding tho knife iu his hand. Wil lis hastily disarmed his determined younger brother, who is thirteen, and started in pursuit of bis father, who, when he tied through the rear door, threw the knife aside and started for the slough, about fifty feet distant At the slough Landreth, still fol lowed by the boy, made a pretended ef fort at suicide. From thence be ran into town, followed by Willis. Here lie was arrested by T. L. Hartman at the suggestion of the boy. There were thirteen wounds on the body, three of which would have been necessarily fatal. The coroner’s jury summoned by Justice Lines found that Symtuie Ellis Antle came to her death at the hands of Landreth. The murderer has Lxx u removed to the jail at Salem. Before lieiDg removed thither, be attempted suicide in the city jail at Indepen dence. From the rather unsatisfactory evi dence of the mother on the examina tion, anil the inspection of the physi cians, there cau lie no doubt that Landreth has lx>en the paramour of his own stepdaughter for years, aud those who know her gentle and, to some extent, refiued disposition, are sure she never willingly consented. Fear that her increasing years would give her a greater horror of being the victim of his passion and that she would the more unwillingly lie a part ner iu the incestuous relation, aud would take the first means of divulg- iug her heavy secret, was in all proba bility his incentive to the commission of the atrocious murder; or perhaps be knew that fffie might shortly become a mother, and a demonical desire of dis[x>sing of her utterly impelled him to the deed. Bill Xye Calls for Reform. New York World. The fatal shooting of a man who ou Sunday, after drinking freely, went to the wrong residence, his own having slightly wavered to one side during bis alisenoe. suggests that alcohol, as a brain food, Ims its drawbacks, aud also that the custom of constructing thous ands of residences which closely re semble each other is slowly sapping the American memory. Max O’Bell, speaking to me the oth er day of our custom of numbering streets aud avenues and then number ing the houses up as far as Yonkers, said: “I know of a man, for instance, who lives wn the corner of Third avenue and One Hundred aud Fiftieth street, at No. 1801. on the left band side, up three flights. I met him to day, aud like many Americans, he is walking with bis head bowed. He is in a brown study. He is wrap|>ed in thought. It is not because be is try ing to figure out the effect of the tar iff reduction, fractionally or as a whole. It is not lxx‘aiiee he is immersed iu profound meditation relative to his past or his future. He is trying to re member his address.” I could not deny it. I tried to make it clear to him that it is no more work to remember a nutnlier than it is to keep a Rue or a Faubourg or an Ar rondissement m one’s head, but I did not succeed. We have here thousands of houses with a strong family resemb lance to each other, differing only in their style of night-lock, and this dif ference can only lie found out by ascer taining. When we go home rattled by the applause which is still ringing in our ears as a result of a neat after din ner sjxHH-h, and lx*gin the arduous task of seeking to find a three-story high- st<xq> brown-stone front to fit our night-key we are shot! You trip gaily up the lofty and familiar stoop with the plaudits of your fellowmen still warming the cockles of your heart. You gently strike a match ou your pantaloons, and while you seek to make out the num ber by its uncertain light, you sudden ly awake to find yourself at the union depot of another world. I do not ask property owners to tear down and rebuild expensive bouses lie cause they may resemble mine, for that would lie unreasonable, and savor too much of selfishness. But if it could be so arranged that by putting a nickel into a slot at the f<x>t of the sloop, an illuminated name and number would come down the steps with a glass of apollinaris water and play a tune, we would be in better shape to point with pride to our National institutions and brag over foreign powers.
