An ex-professor of the United States experiment station in connection with the agricultural college at Corvallis, E. R. Lake, has recently made tours of some of the orchards of the Willamette valley to ascertain what is possible relative to a new disease that seems to be sAVcting different fruit trees. He ¡was in the vi cinity of Corvallis during the week and the Gazette contains the following lines pertaining to his discovery: “Mr. Lake was here especially to look over the orchards and determine if they were affected with the “black spot” which is affecting trees throughout the stale. The disease works principally upon sp ile, prune, plum, pear and cherry trees. Lt first attracted attention last year in Jackson county and symptoms of the disease were Doted about the same time on the Sound. I t has already made such inroads upon the orchards of the Northwest that the general government has interested itself in the m atter and sent Newton B. Pierce from the depart ment of agriculture to the coast for ihe purpose of making a thorough investiga tion of the disease. Mr. Pierce is con nected with that sectiou of the depart ment pertaining to vegetable diseases. During the past six weeks he has been making a careful investigation of fruit trees in Oregou and is now continuing his duties in the state of Washington. He found evidences of the complaint iu every horticultural sectiou of the state. At present no remedy is known nor have the specialists beeu as yet able to deter mine the canse of the disease, which gives promise of censing great devasta tion among our orchaads. “Prof. Lake claims to have discovered symtoms of the disease in Eastern Wash ington two years ago. It first affects the trunk of the tree and then spreads to the branches. The tree soon gives sigDs of debilitated condition and iu the course of one or two years, withers and dies. Unless some practical method can be de termined upon by which a cure can be readily affected, there will be need for vigorous legislation on the subject to prevent the spread of the disease and ultimate destruction of the fruit interests of the Northwest. To the mind of Mr. Lake the existence of this new-found disease is the most significant reason for a continuance of the state horticultural commission. So far as known there is no way of eradicating the disease except by uprooting the trees and destroying by fire. In British Columbia this meaus has already beeu employed. In one large orchard dealt with only five per cent of the trees were saved. Should it be found that this is the ouly practical way of effecting a cure it will require the enactment of some vigorously enforced laws to attain the results required.” A W om an’s T icket. San Bernardino, Cal., Oct. 12.—The women of San Bernardiuo met in con vention today and nominated a full conuty ticket, selecting candidates from the four tickets iu the field. It purports to be non-partisHD, but the temperance element predominated and the condidates were chosen with that quality in view. Threw D ust in His Eyes. Halsey News: Uncle Jimmy McMahou met with a severe accident Thursday. While out iu the pasture after cattle his horse was charged by a bull and Uncle Jimmy was thrown to the ground, receiv ing a fracture of the left ankle, which was reduced by Drs. Smith & Geary. After being thrown to the ground he defended himself from the attacks of the euraged animal by throwing dirt in the bull’s eyes thereby blinding it. I t was a narrow escape for the old gentleman. Crop S ta tistics. Washington, Oct. 10.—The October re turns to the statistican of the department of agriculture make the general condi tion of corn as not materially different from that of last mouth, it being 64.2 against 63.4 in September, a gain o f eight-tenths of oue per cent. The re turns of the yield per ucre of wheat in dicate the production of about 13.1 bushels, being 1.8 bushels greater than last October. The rate of yield iu Wash ington is Ifi.6 per acre, and iu Oregon 18.7. The indicated quality for the country is 935, for Washington 99, Oregon i)4. The quality iu Washington is two per cent higher than any other state. The W ar Chests of Europe.

The time was 3JA hours. He finished in good con dition. Brown’s cycle consists of two cigar shaped tubes, each 17 feet long, lying parallel and three feet apart. They are filled w ith compressed air. In the center space is a platform and seat, for a driver. Two paddle wheels, one on the outside of each tube, are propell ed by the ordinary cycle pedals and chain gearing.

When she had Children, she gave them Castoria / Used th e W rong Stam ps. The following is a good story which appeared in the Albuny Herald: J. B. Mullay, traveling deputy collector of internal revenue, met with some funny experiences iu his recent trip through the valley, stamping playing cards. At Cor vallis he met a small dealer who had 416 decks of cards in his possession. Being asked to purchase stamps for the cards, the dealer replied: “Oh, no, you don’t. I have already stamped them.” As he spoke he showed Mullay how nicely he had decorated the entire stock of cards with 2 cent postage stamps. After” stamping each pack of cards he canceled the stamp with pen and ink, aud by so doing thought be was complying with the provisions of the law. Although he put in no hill for services, he was also of the opiuiou that he had tukeu a large amount of work off the hands of the internal revenue officers, aud expested at least a complimentary acknowledgment of his thoughtfulness. When told that the stamps he had affixed were not the right kind, and that all his efforts were love’s labor lost, lie nearly fainted, He then iusisted the officers should make good the postage stamps he had mutilated uuder a misapprehension of the law, and it was the hardest ktud of work for Mullay to convince him that the depart ment was not liable for his mistakes. After considerable demurring, he pur chased the regulation stamps, aud here after he will probably .never again want to lighten the burden of government officials. Human life is held too cheaply when the individual who needs a tonic for his system, seeks to cover his warns by purchasing every new mixture that is recommended to him.
