Bv 1904 the number annually manufactured had reached the enormous total of 7,000,000 pots. Today the an nual production of flower pots is es timated at 1S,000.000. In 1890 tho largest green-house In the country had but little more than four acres of surface In it. By 1900 there were manv which had 10 acres In them, and one in Cook county, Just outside of Chicago, had 14 acres of grouhd under glass. Since then this great establishment has been eclipsed In a number of instances. There were 42.000 acres of land devoted to com mercial floriculture 10 years ago, and It Is estimated that the census returns for next year will almost double that figure. Xilttle Affected by Panics. The flower habit has become one flrmlv fixed with the people of the Imlted States. Winter and summer, Irj hard times as well as In good ones. In seasons of panic as well as In days of commercial repose, the people continue to buy their usual number of flowers. In the reports of the florist society it is stated that the depression of last winter not only did not affect the business of the florist, the nurseryman and the seedsman to any serious ex tent, but that new firms dally came Into the field for'tensi-ness. The depression of 1908 affected the cut flower busi ness rather seriously, but that was bo fore the habit of patronizing the flower stores had become ns fixed as it Is today. The first green-house built in this country on modern plans was erected in New ork In 17R4, but It is generally accepted that the florists' industry originated at Philadelphia, It having flUined somo commercial standing ns early as 1S25. The progress of the ln- flustry from that time to tne presen 1 urservmen. superin tendents of narks and the manufactur ers of wares or supplies for florists usa are eligible to membership. The organization of tho society was fol lowed bv the organization of the Flor ists' Hall Association of North America. It was incorporated In New Tork, in 1SS7. It now Insures 27,000,000 square feet of glass against damage by hall, and since its organization has paid over 1100,000 In losses. -It has 1.500 mem bers and over $40,000 in assets, with no liabilities. Special Floral Societies. There are many societies which do not take in the whole range of flowers, but devote their attention to a single flower. The American Peony society had lis birth at lenolt In 1903. and its work has given a great stimulus to the movement which has resulted in the popularizing again of this old-fashioned flower. Tho American Rose society was organized In New York, in 1839, and it has done much toward the development of tlie rose. A regular scale of points for Judging roses has been adopted, and any one exhibiting 85 points or more Is awarded a certificate of merit. In comnetitlve exhibitions size counts 15, ' color 20. stem 20, form, unbalance and foliage 15 each. The ( nrysantnemum Society of America is another organiza tion devoting its attention to a single flower, and the present state of beauty of the American 'mum'' is a debt owing lurgelv to their development of it "and their adontlon of standards of excel lenco. This society was organized In 199 at Buffalo. The American Car nation society, which has done so much toward making the carnation one of the most popular flowers of the day, was organized in isi.

A I guarantee fund of some $12,000 has been i raised and the preliminary work of ar ranging ror tne exhibition ls now being done.

T. Allen. Some of the fires are still burning, notably the big one In the Deschutes national forest In eastern Oregon but they are all under control and the fir e fighters hope to have them extin guished shortly. Inspector Allen states that he received a letter this morning from Prinevllle written by an assist ant whom he sent to aid In fighting the Deschutes fires, stating that the situation Is so well in hand that no more rhen are needed and large num bers are being turned away The principal fire aside from the one in the Prinevllle section Is up north In the Cascades, but that?nlso ls well in hand. The lesser fires have either burned themselves out or aro under control. There ls still, however, danger of new fires starting and doing much dam ago unless heavy rains come soon. The rain of last week was not sufficiently heavy to wet the forests thoroughly and pre etfs danger of new fires start ing, although It aided the fire fighters greatly In their work. Rut unless more rain comes soon, conditions will be ns bad ns they were before the recent rain Reports from Prinevllle the end .f last week were to the effect that there were seven rlis'lnct fires raging In th Iieschutes national forest and one in the Fremont reserve. The biggest fire had a frontage of 15 miles and was de vastating a Targe area. Forest Super visor Ireland had found It necessary to call upon all the neighboring foresters for help and men had been sent Into the district from as far ns 200 miles away. Therj were over 200 men In the field the middle of the week, with more being sept in every day. New fires were constantly being started and it was believed thnt somo of them wece the work of Incendiaries. Wtint Oregon's loss from forest fores this year has been cannot yet he es timated, as the reports of the super vlosrs are sent direct to Washington and no data Is collected here. But it ls certain that many square miles of standing timber have been burned over, resulting In immense loss not only to Oregon and the national government hut also to homesteaders, many of whom have lost everything they had. Including their time and work. The water department haa been vindi cated and the residents of Alblna put to rout by the report of Dr. Ralph C. Mat son, city bacteriologist, tn Cltv Health Officer Dr. Esther C. Pohl, In which he state, that after an examination of Al blna water he finds no bacteria harmful to public health. That was all there was to the report. The wator department will continue to use the water In emergencies and says that the people of Alblna will have to drink the water which the board de clares to be the finest bone producer this side of tho famous springs of Ken tucky. At the first Indication of dis satisfaction of the Alblnans the water department was surprised. The Al blnans had used tho- water for years before the city put In the Bull Run pipe line and the department wondered at the objections. True, the water possesses lime. Put lime Is the best bone producer to bo found, declared Hie department or flclala. In fact, thev claim that It Is the lime water of Kentucky that pro duces the beautiful women and giants of the Blue Grass state and not the fine Bourbon whiskey. There-fore the water department was amazed, rather, their feelings had been hurt, bv the attack on the Alblna water, and thev Immedi ately got busy assuring the excited ones that the water was good for them. But other objections were made to the water. Not only lime Is In the water, but salt also, and the Alblnans object to the salt. Thoy had become used to the sparkling Bull Run water, so jiure and sweet, that they did not like to change to the salt water. They had established a mode of living and like a man who goes from one country to another, had Become acclimated, so to speak. But the water forced them to change their diet.
