A CALIFORNIA PRUNE < «CHARD.
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.

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.

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.

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.
