FRUIT VULTURE.
The time is past when farmers can
raise good fruit without taking some
measures to meet the insect depredations
and fungus diseases that are now so
prevalent. The advantages gained by
the use of insecticides and fungicides
have been so long and thoroughly tested
- with the codlin moth, aphides and other
insects, the black spot (Fusiclartinm
dentriticum) which is quite prevalent in
some portions of the state grape rot,
mildew, etc., that they are no longer an
experiment and the can be recommend
ed and relied upon without reserve.
The apparatus for spraying is simple
and can be operated by any' one, and the
cost of the pump and material is nom
inal. .. v.
A few boxes of apples or pears saved
by its use in a single garden or orchard
will. meet the expenses. . If a large ma
chine is needed for large trees a number
of neighbors may operate the same.
Pumps are made especially adapted to
this work and may be obtained at our
hard-ware stores. ..The most important
part of the whole apparatus is the noz
zle, for upon this depends the efficiency
of the work. It is absolutely necessary
to have a very fine spray to do good
work, as all the foliage and fruit must be
thoroughly wet but not drenched. It is
a lamentable fact that many of our
gardners and orchardists, will still aver
that their trees and fruits are free from
pests of various kinds year by year, and
at the same time they are unable to bring
to our markets a single box of ripened
fruit, which is free from worms. The
truth is, every orchard about us is in
fected more or less, and only those who'
will fight our insect enemies may expect
their orchards to be munerative. -
Our orchardists ahould wake up to the
fact thatv it will soon be too late to save
their trees if. they continue to cryk as
they . did last year, , that orcharding, in
Oregon, is a failure, notwithstanding the
fact that sound apples were sold in this
marKet me past winter at a box.
The future outlook in prices for all
kinds of fruits is encouraging, and the
few progressive men will fignt against
the fruit pests, and find it a profitable
business.
We have a good and wholesome state
law which requires every law-abiding
citizen to cleause his trees, fruit, fruit
boxes,, etc., and imposing certain penal
ties for the failure to comply with its re
quirements. If you are too lazy to. do
any or all these things, cut down your
trees and leave them at once and do not
allow them it to infest your neighbor's
trees by spreading millions of their fun
gus spores in the air, and millions more
of insect pests, as they is sure to do in a
few weeks.
COMPLIMENTS TO THE "SUN."
The Chronicle sincerely . thanks the
Wasco Sun tor the hearty , joyous ring of
its article- headed "The Dalles Our
City," in this week's issue. Brother
Morgan does not write of the place
where he makes his bread and butter as
if he had a constant cargo of undigested
sour grapes in his stomach, like some
people we wot of. His article is the
very opposite of those who, having made
everything they own in the world here.
never write of the city or its inhabitants
except witn a pen dipped m worm-wood
and gall, and who are constantly pro
claiming to the outside world that we
are nothing but a community of 'snarl
ing luossbacks. ""The Chronicle, on the
other hand believes that The- Dalles ia
one of the very best, towns in Eastern
Oregon and it is not afraid to proclaim
to the world that there ia more business
done here than there is in any own of
its size in the state.,' Keep up. your lick
Brother Morgan and if the Chboniclb
can do nothing- more it will gladly stand
by and pat you on the back.
HE MUST SPEAK. Y THE CAR&.
Senator.Pugh of Alabama is real mad
at ex-President Cleveland. He charges
him with having gone out of his way to
use offensive epithets towards the South.
In an address delivered at. Buffalo the
other day, Mr. Cleveland, alluding .to
the late war, used these words : "When
the government was assailed by rebellious
hands." Senator Pugh says this is an
insult to the south. He is somewhat
sensative, this senator is.: Mr. Cleve
land should have said : When the gov
ernment got mad at the south or, when
the government was caressed by friendly
hands, or something like that. Senator
Pugh swears that these "rebellious
hands" are going to fix Mr. Cleveland
at the next democratic national conven
tion or if nominated the "rebellious
hiinds.'.are. going to fix bub at the ballot
bQX, but the senator Js 'oyer sensative
and hypercritical and will find few sym
pathisers among-bis sensible congeners
of the democratic party.
The Goldendale Sentinei informs us
that the people of Klickitat county are
tired of paying tribute to Portland in the
matter of shipping , all their . produce
there while . Portland takes it all as a
matter of course and does not put forth
the least effort to retain a trade naturally
hers. The Sentinel does not exactly use
these words' but that seems to be its
meaning. The people of Klickitat
county are making arrangements to have
.their coming crop shipped up the river
to Pasco and thence to the Sound by
rail. The Chronicle heartily sympa
thises with this effort but sees no reason
in the " world . why the producers of
Klickitat county could not make better
terms with the company owning the
boat now being built at The Dalles.
This company could certainly carry the
products of Klickitat county to ocean
steamers, whether - at Portland or
Astoria, cheaper than the Northern
Pacific could afford to carry them. The
matter of ferriage' across the Columbia
could be easily arranged and the opposi
tion line will, we believe, be in readiness
to carry this year's crop. There need be
no apprehension that the new boat will
fail to run in the interests of the people.
The men who put their money in this
enterprise never made the investment
for their own direct benefit and there
are too many stock-holders to ever al
low her to be sold out to the railroad
company. We commend this suggestion
to the farmers of Klickitat county who
live within a distance of The Dalles near
enough to haul their grain here.
Facta About Beet Sugar.
The average yield of sugar from a ton
of beets is ten per cent., or 200 lbs of re
fined sugar.
The average crop of beets per - acre is
twelve tons.
Average yield of refined sugar per acre.
2,400 lbs. ...
- Value of sugar produced from one acre
of beets at 6 cents per lb. is $144 plus $72
bounty, is $216.
. Cost of manufacturing twelve tons of
beet from one acre is $9 per ton, or $108
per acre.
Net value of one acre of average beets.
r Cost of raising beet sugar per acre, $30 ;
cost of raising 3,000 acres, $90,000.
Three thousand acres of average beets
will yield a net return to the county of
which they are grown, of $324,000. .

The man eating tairer.iir 4 eeaWra
both cunning ao-i anaacropsr One de4
scribed by &r Samuel Jkrrf, wfeictr-b-eaine
the victim of a pwcJCipaljftSseaB
not the typical ,oltana rniw.aromJ,
but a powerful bs iJStvinBm
pled ferocity, liiyr 'x jiaertleisti
wayman, which .infested .rrtrtoa of the
road, and frequently carried 'off the driv
ers of bullock carts ; to. feast upon them
in the jungle.
... The natives feared to travel with a sin
gly cart,, and - it became - the custom to
pass the dreaded spot with several teams
together.". "This; however; proved a Tain
precantionfor the tiger seised the driver
of ttxi hindmost - cart and made away
with' him ,in Lspite :of thd cries of those
left behind. .
At length Mr. Duff, the superintend
ent of police, provided two covered carts,
each drawn ' as usual by two bullocks.
The leading .one was fitted, with strong
bars of bamboo, which formed an im
penetrable cage. In this the driver was
seated, and Mr. Duff himself sat with his
face, toward the rear, prepared to fire
through the bars at the moment of attack.:-.
- X ., -r -
This would have been an exciting time
for the driver, but that ' individual was
personated by " a dummy stuffed with
straw, " which might prove tempting to
the tiger's eye bnt would hardly satisfy
his palate.
Slowly the carts moved along the
dreaded path. Suddenly there was a
roar and crash in the jungle. A large
tiger bounded forth', seized the dummy
driver and dragged him away. Nothing
could have been better planned, but one
chance, necessary to . success, had been
forgotten. No . sooner . bad the tiger
roared and bounded npon the cart than
the bullocks, terrified beyond control,
went full gallop across the country, fol
lowed by the other team, all in the wild
est panic. ' -
It was impossible to fire, and after a
few seconds of desperate chariot racing
both carts capsized, and lay, with the
animals, in a heap on the ground. The
victorious man eater, victim of what he
must have considered a practical joke,
was left to a dry meal of a straw stuffed
carter, instead of the juicy native he
had expected to get.
. Expensive Portraits.
" The ladies of Gotham are very good to
the gentlemen of this place. They are
presenting them' with miniatures ' of
themselves exquisitely painted on ivory.
Time was when a simple photo, card size,
was good enough for anybody's best fel
low. Then a cabinet must be bought
for him, or a panel nearly as large as life
and as natural as the camera could make
it. ,- Now it costs twenty-five dollars to
give one's likeness to one's divinity, for
it must be upon the finest of polished
ivory and so beautifully tinted that none
but a real artist can do the work. ' '"
' The most approved ivory likenesses' are
h6 larger ' than the pictures of George
Washington upon our postage stamps.
And they are designed to be fitted within
a locket which is to be worn upon the
watch chain.-' Twenty-five dollars is the
very cheapest sum for which the ivory
likeness can be obtained. They used to
cost , fifty . dollars, but an artist who
makes a specialty of them says, "They
cost no more than twenty-five in Lun
non.'" And so one must pay no more
than that in this country.'' 1 '
Another dainty personal gift is a like
ness of one's self painted upon a coffee
cup which ' is to adorn the bachelor
quarters of one's best love; If painted
by an artist who understands china
painting, the colors do not change in the
firing, and the effect ia as lovely as could
be desired. ,.'...
Still another way of giving one's like
ness to one's best boy is by having' it
painted upon the inside of the case of his
watch. This method possesses one ad
vantage over those previously mentioned,
namely, that of endurance. Seasons
may wax and wane. Time, may come
and time may go, but as long as the
ticking of that particular watch goes on,
just so long will the . dainty, smiling
features look out from the inside of . the
golden cover. Nothing can erase it and
nothing can cover it up save another
picture painted over it. And shame be
npon the artist who could be prevailed
npon to do so ruthless a deed. New

i Sympathy' with Suffering. ' .
.Unless there be some -sympathy. with
suffering there will be nothing done for
its relief, and the ties of human brother
hood will" be quickly sundered. If it is
a blessing that we are unable to feel the
full, force of. another's sorrow, it is no
less a blessing that we have the capacity
of feeling a part of. it. And this capacity
usually needs development rather than
restraint. ' Por a few who-may grieve
unwarrantably for their fancied insensi
bility there are multitudes who are sadly
deficient in sympathy and never grieve
at all about it. - It should never be for
gotten that all social happiness, all mu
tual benefactions and all. true, benevo
lence, are .founded on the presence of
sympathy. .Were it . not for this we
should be miserable and misery giving
egoists. New York Ledger. f
