DR. KINNEY'S DEATH.
The elimination of such a life and
example as Dr. August C. Kinney's
from the midst of a community like
this, leaves a void that is not filled
with the mere gathering of the masses
over the paths he trod; he was great
er, more valuable than that, and it
may be years before the real entity
will be supplied. As in the ancient
days, he stood among the wise men;
not aloof, but on the level of things
as they were; with ready interest and
kindliness and the unfailing faculty
of doing and saving, always, what
was best and right and most expedi
ent In the public sense, he was one
to whom all men turned for advice,
opinion and approval; and what he
gave in this line was final with the
recipient because it was untinctured
of self, without bias and free from
all untoward dictates.
His private life was model in the
highest conception. A cultured
gentleman, his home, his pursuits,
his habits, all bore the stamp of re
finement and made the niceties of
life indispensable at all times; as a
devoted stduent in the walks of his
profession, with a fixed ambition to
conquer the unconquerable and make
for the physical peace of humanity,
he wrought nobly and insistently
through the years of his manhood
against the dread "white plague,"
and did what he might to master it
utterly; with what success we shall
all come to know when his scientific
memoranda is given to the world by
those who have it in charge. And
the cardinal honor that is his, is that
he did this great task while contend
ing with what proved to be an. in
curable and grevious malady, that
impeded his every step and fought
day and night against the superb
courage that animated him; a phase
of martyrdom that but accentuates
the splendid history he has made.
Astoria is proud, with an honest
pride that will outlive the day of her
grief; and the name and fame of Au
gust C. Kinney are tabletted indelibly
in the hearts of his fellows here!
on public" decency and " collegiate
honor and dignity.
This is the moment in which to
make a lasting impression on all stu
dent bodies of the country for their
to demonstrate that umver:
sity life has some other and better
aims and impulses than mere wnim
lioul nr worse, indulgences. We
hope the faculty will stand pat for
of all concerned, an interest that
reaches even further than the stu
dent body, by a very wide margin.
IS GAINING GROUND.
The contention of the gill-netters
at the mouth of the Columbia as em-
bodiedin their bill now before the
peopleis gaining ground daily, and
the people at large are becoming not
onlv aware of the tremendous vari
ance in the measures in conflict, but
that the gill-netters' claim represents
thousands of workers and millions of
dollars of investment, as against the
naltrv and selfish demands of a beg
garly handful of plutocratic operators
in the upper reaches of the river wno
desire to maintain a piracy that is
chamrfnl as it is devastating to a
i-mIIv srreat industry. The earnest!
men in charge of the honcster, and
only acceptable methods, of fishing,
are sanguine of victory and are leav
ing no stone unturned to warp it
where it will be a victory indeed.
FEAST OF THE ROSES.
It has been definitely settled that
Astoria is to figure handsomely in
the great Feast of the Roses at Port
land in June next; and the detail of
preparation has been taken over by
men well equipped for the duty and
upon plans that make manifest this
city's interest in the event. Her float
will be among the real beauties, the
real significant things, of that day;
and we are looking for Portland to
do just exactly the right thing in this
relation, forgetting what of unpleas
antness has prevailed in the past, and
making for the new friendliness and
helpfulness that mutuality and kin
dred interests stand for.
Astoria will send her car and her
crowds and her goodwill to the me
tropolis, and do it with a spirit that
is Oregon-wide and Portland-centered;
and all in the hope that her
"olive-branch" will not be ignored
nor broken nor misunderstood. The
rose festival is typical of peace and
prosperity, and we are going to use
it for all it is worth along those lines.
FACING A CRISIS.
Stanford University is facing the
crisis of its career. It is about to
close its doors against 260 of its stu
dents for deliberate transgression of
its laws; and this is the thing to do.
The original twelve of this host can
not be made scapegoats for an affair
in which the whole group partici
pated; an affair that was an outrage

be the judge.
If you suffer from offensive breath,
raising of mucous, frequent sneezing,
husky voice, discharge from the nose,
droppings into the throat, loss of
strength, spasmodic coughing, gen
eral weakness and debility, or any
other catarrhaf symptom, begin the
use of Hyomei at once. It will de
stroy all disease germs in the nose,
throat and lungs, soothe the irritated
mucous membrane, and make a thor

Serious Results Often Follow Ap
plications of Mixture.
"STANDARDIZING" THE SPRAY
Sufficient Work Has Not Been. Done
to Justify the Statement - Thar
Lime-Sulphur ; Is Equal to Bor
deaux as t Preventative.
The serious results in the form o(
"Bordeaux Injury'' which often fol
low applications of Bordeaux mixture
render it almost imperative that some
means be found of reducing this in
jury, or that some spray be discover
ed which may be used as a substitute
for Bordeaux. ! '
For the past two or three years I
have observed after winter spraying
apple and pear trees with limc-sul-
phur solutions, for San Jose scale,
that the fruit upon the sprayed trees
was less "scabby" than that upon un-
sprayed threes. Upon two different
occasions this winter application was
delayed until the blossoms were
about to open and while the spray
which was applied at the full strength
did considerable injury at the time,
its decidedly beneficial effects were
noticeable when the first fruit was
gathered. However the generally
good results which follow winter ap-,
plications of lime-sulphur are now
well known and this part of the work
requires no further comment
Nevertheless, these observations
suggested to me the probability that
lime-sulphur solution might be used
as a substitute for Bordeaux mixture
for summer applications and during
the past year I have so used it upon
various plants and for various purposes.
It is not proposed at this time to
go at all into detail regarding these
experiments I wish only to call at
tention to some of the results obtain
ed which show conclusively that lime-
sulphur solution may be used as a
summer spray without injury to foli
age and also point strongly to the
probability that by its apple scab may
be effectually controlled without dan
ger of spray injury to the fruit.
Sufficient work has been done to
justify the statement that lime-sulphur
is equal to Bordeax as a pre
ventive of this disease but the results
of the single season's work point so
strongly to this conclusion that I feel
justified in calling attention to them,
that growers who have suffered loss
from Bordeaux injury, and other who
are interested, may make comparative
tests of the two sprays the coming
season.
In earring out the work the past
season it became necessary first of
all to determine how strong a solu
tion could be used without injury to
the foliage. This, again, made it
necessary to adopt some method of
standardizing" the spray. After con
siderable work we adopted what may
be termed the "stock solution" meth
od of preparing the spray and adopt
ed as a standard for the work a "stock
solution" having a specific gravity of
1.27. (For determining the specific
gravity of the solution while at work
in the field we have found the specific
gravity hydrometer a very conven
ient instrument. It is cheap, simple
and convenient and I would recom
mend every grower who expects to
use lime-sulphur as a summer spray
to obtain one.)
This solution, similar to the Rex
sprays upon the market, any of which
would undoubtedly do as well, is of
a clear dark amber color, is without
sediment, and as stated above had a
specific gravity of 1.27. Analysis
showed that each gallon contained in
solution 2.38 pounds of sulphur.
During the season of 1907 these
"stock solutions" of lime-sulphur
were used variously diluted upon the
apple, pear, peach, plum, prune,
quince, cherry grape, potatoes and
celery.
The results obtained indicated that
lime-sulphur sprays produced by dil
uting 1 gallon of the stock solution
with IS gallons of water may be safe
ly used upon all of the above-named
