TEAGROWSSUCCESSFULLY ON FARM AT HUBBARD Local delegates to the recent national convention of grocers, held at Boston In June, gave a complimentary dinner at th Portland commercial club yes terdav to Frank W. Meyer, who came n thia oitv 11 director of the annual excursion of the Cortelyou club of Brooklyn. Mr. Meyer Is regarded aa the I articular friend of Portland grocers. When they undertook to win the Bos ton convention to Portland as the next meeting place of the national associa tion Mr. Meyer became one of their strongest aides, and was largely re sponsible for the successful result of the oontest In Portlands favor. The grocers seized upon their first oppor tunity yesterday, on his arrival In this rity, to show him their appreciation. President 8. L. Kline of the Oregon Retail Grocers' association, came down from Corvallis to preside at the din ner. Brief talks were given by J. C. Mann. C. B. Merrick. A; H. Devers, L. M. Wood.

If you don't believe It. take a trip to the little town of Hubbard, where you will find nearly all the neighbors of P. Lauer, a retired German farmer, drinking tea raised by that energetlo man. Mr. Lauer received soma tea seed sent out by Manager Dillon of the tea department In the Allen Lewis com pany of Portland seven years ago. He has been devoting his attention during all this time to tea culture, witn in result that he has now gr owing In his garden two tea trees 20 feet nigh and half a dosen other plants are In a healthy state of growth. The tea plant Is an evergreen and lives for several In hundred years. Th. M that tnm. could be grown Oregon was first suggested by Otis A. Poole, the Japan agent of the Allen Lewis company. Mr. Poole noticed that the climate of Japan and that of Ore- fon was about the same and the rain all here and In the mikado land was also about the same. The Japan currant washing our coast as It does that of the Island Kingdom makes conditions for tea growing here as good as they are In the orient. An abundant rainfall Is one of the necessary conditions for the successful growth or the tea plant and. Mr. Poole saw that Oregon was favored In this way as much aa Japan. He sent over some seed seven years ago to the Allen A I.ewls company, and Manager Dillon sent seversl park ages to farmers In the Interior. The first that ha heard from these was from Mr. Lauer who wrote him a letter the other day, telling him of the grati fying results of his experiments of the past seven years. Mr. Dillon went up to Hubbard and was thoroughly satisfied that tea can be grown in this state. All the farm ers around Hubbard are besieging Mr. Imager for slips from his tea plants for transplanting. The tea leaves from these plants are merely dried In the sun for use and the people who drink the tea made from them say It Is much sweeter and milder than the tea of commerce, which Is basket fired and roasted. i the Oaks, at which both husband and wife were employed. Because It was their first offense, because both prom ised to be good forever and ever, and because they were both young and had recently been married, the case against them was dismissed. The police committee of the city executive board will resume the hear ing ssslnat Mat Murphy, a patrolman charred with drunkenness while on duty and immoral conduct, at the city nan tmiiffht. The Murohy case has aroused a great amount of Interest among resi dents of Montavllla and along the Bbio Line road, ana at tne nearum mi Thursday a large number were present to testify against the officer.

From the Chicago Record-Herald. uno oi tne most Deautirul of our American trees Is the chestnut, and it has a value also for its wood and its fruit. The tree. It seems. Is subject to a disease tnat la called chestnut canker and the fear of It caused the agricultural department at Washlng- to sena out a warning some two hleh apparently has been At anv rata there is to day a scare over the progreas of the disease in the east, and very heavv losses are reported from Its ravages. Estimates are not close, hut they run Into millions of dollars, and it Is re ported that In one Brooklyn park 1.400 trees have baen destroyed. This is typical of what is going on In the cltv and in the surrounding country, and all varieties of chestnut are liable to the Infection. It Is said, moreover, that a cure Is out of the question and that the best course for owners of the trees to pur sue Is to eeil them while the wood Is still fit for sale in the market. This has been tried, howover, without suc cess. IT we mar trust a correspondent of the New Tork Times, who tells of his experience as follows: "T wrote to about 60 lumbermen, mill men and retail dealers asking for of fers. About one hslf failed to answer. The rest stated that there was no mar ket, with the exception of one firm. thst asked for quotations on chestnut turning posts. Tne firm did not answer a second letter In which I asked them to make their own offer. This man suggests that when there te such apathr as he reports the oppor tunity Is an excellent one for a shrewd dealer to make plans for cornering the market, since with the Inevitable loss of the next few yeare. millions could be made bv securing available timber now. Dr. William A Murrlll assietant di rector of the New Tork botanical gar dens Is particularly Insistent on on point that is of great importance te the owners of cheetnut trees outside the tn fected districts. He save that In order to prevent the spread of the disease there should be a law forbidding the shipping of chestnut trees to other sutea end be ehw tbat there Is a . real danger by adding that shipments i Iiave ba made recently to California.
