THE SAN JOSE SCALE.
It is useless to conceal the fact that
unless vigorous action is taken by our
fruit growers io destroy the pests
that are infecting many of our
orchards, in a short time and in
many places, fruit raising will be
a thing of the past. Portland papers
inform us that Mr K. W.Allen, secre
tary of the state horticultural society
lately examined a lot of boxes of apples
received from California by commission
merchants, and finding them to be in
fected with the "San Jose Scale" ordered
them to be destroyed or shipped back to
California. The dealers concluded to
ship them back and some boxes of the
apples which have been sent out to dif
ferent towns were recalled and the Whole
lot returned. The apples show bright
red spots on their surface and with the
aid of a magnifying glass, on each of
these spot can be seen a gray scale at
tached, under which is deposited the
eggs of the ncale. bug. The San Jose
scale is a much dreaded pest and a law
passed at the last legislature forbids the
importation, into this state,- of trees or
fruit infected with it. In our own
neighborhood Mr. Varney has been do
ing good work in the direction of stamp
ing out this evil, and he reports that
the yoople have, as a rule, shown their
readiness to assist him in complying
with the law . that requires infected
trees, either to be properly sprayed or
destroyed. As many as eight or ten
lots of imported fruit have been con
demned and .destroyed. A few days ago
Mr. Varney condemned a lot of appri
cots which had been shipped from a
Portland firm to one of our local fruit
dealers. The, dealer notified the' firm
in Portland and received, the following
reply. "We are Borry we shipped you
such appricots and did not know it
otherwise tbey would not have been
shipped. Mr. Varney was perftjetly
right in condemning them, but when
anything is condemned in this way
please let Mr. V. take it and destroy it
and seud us a bill with his stamp, giving
cause why same has been dessroyed and
we will not be out anything ourselves,
then." All persons who have infected
trees should know that the officers of
the state horticultural society are clothed
with ample; jower to enforce the spray
ing or destruction of infected trees, and
in case the owner should refuse to do so,
trees so mtectea . may be cut down or
destroyed at the owners expense.
' A few weeks ago Messrs. J. C. Mur
phy and E. C. Dickerson of Antelope
took a band of horses to the Sound for
the purpose of making sale of them.
Mr. Dickerson returned yesterday, hav
ing been able to dinpose of his lot, con
sistuig oi a neaa, at fair prices on
credit, but he informs us that there is
practically no cash market for horses, in
that section. Mr, Murphy was less sue
vessful, having only disposed of four and
be is now on his way back with the re
mainder. Mr. Dickerson believes that
there must be 20,000 draft horses in the
various pastures between . Portland and
Centralia on their way to market or for
sale, and probably twice as many smaller
horses... Yesterday a gentleman fed 10
bead of horses at Mr. Richmond's eta
ble. He had had them in the Sound
country but could not sell them and was
on his way back, to his home , in North
Eastern Washington. ' We believe these
facts ought to be known so that persons
contemplating , the : taking of horses to
these markets should know what they
may expect should they go there.
'.- Senator Dolph will be pleased to. conr
fer with the citizens of this .community
at the court bouse this evening on mat-
ters of general interest to this neighbor
hood and Eastern Oregon. We hone
there wltf be a good attendance and that
the people will not hesitate to insist that
. Senator Dolph shall use all the efforts in
his power to have the works at the Locks
finished by contract. : There is no room
for any. second opinion on this ' subject.
In the event of their being; finished J?y
contract there would be some hope that
the people pi this section might, in the
course of a few years, realize the benefits
oi an open, river,., it tne contract aye-;
tern is not adopted it is really a matter
of .no concern to us whether any more
appropriations are made or not, because
none of us who have arrived at middle
life, ever expect to pee the work finished
,..Somemn!s talepj fpr.diacovery' is al
together in the line of fault finding.
The Oregonian did some excellent fig
uring lately by which it was able to
prove that the opening of the. Columbia
river would secure to Portiaud the grea
balk of 11 ,theonnage: of feastern Ore
gon and Washington, r At the end of , a
somewhat 7 lengthy article are found
these significant ' words : '" "The"upshot
of it all is, the Columbia river muni be
opened. A portage road will Boon be
completed at the Cascades; a portage
road must be put in operation at The
Dalles. And not to mince words about
itPortland,.viv take the Jead in .it,'
That's the kind of talk we like, and if
the Oregonian will only keep it up we'll
soon get an open river.
An interesting feature of the World's
Fair will be a grand reunion of the Blue
and the Gray, The plan is to, build, a
large pavillkn for the veterans of. both
armies and to have the war relics of all
kinds stored'in the building.. The vet
erans are to camp in tents" furnished by
the war department, all camping to
gether.. The various states will be asked
to furnish transportations for their own
veterans. The government will be asked
to furnish the rations,, the Blue and
Gray building is to be built by all the
states combined and the reunion is to
last from ten to thirty days.
The experience of a somewhat ex
tended life has taught us that the most
uncharitable men in the world are those
who stand most in need of charity
themselves. The men who stand most
in need of forgiveness are the most un
forgiving, and the greatest hypocrites and
frauds are the most uncompromising and
bitterest denunciators of the faults of
others. iVotwithstanding it will ever re
main true that "to err is human, to for
give divine."
A late London dispatch says that Rus
sia cannot be depended on for exports of
grain. That country is itself in dread of
a general scarcity, owing to the miser-:
able character of the wheat crop, and in
some provinces a scarcity already exists.

Up to June 18th MoDdy's warehouse
in The Dalles had received 1,618,750
undsof wool, and it is likely there had
en an equal amount stored in the
Wasco warehouse.- By the midlle of
June little over one-half of the wool is
delivered at The Dalles, so at a rough es
timate, it is safe to say in the neighbor
hood of o.OOO.OOO . pounds of wool will be
shipped from The Dalles this season.

Her Old Charge In Danger.
There is a well to do young southern
man. in .this city who Uvea in a handsome
residence not far from Central park, and
who has' among other valued possessions
a family of seveu children.
He had been "brought up" by an old ne
gro "mammy" somewhere near Alexan
dria, Va., and when his wife suggested
that another nurse be secured for the coil
dren his thoughts reverted to Aunt Maria.
He decided to tiring the old Degress here,
and in a few weeks she was comfortably
installed jd the nursery, much to the awe
of the northern horn young southrons, who
were not familiar with the institutions of
a bygone age, and who did not quite un
derstand Aunt Maria's authority
The. young man' has a telephone . in his
house, aud -as the old negress had never
heard of that invention she looked upop it
at first with wonder and then with suspi
cion. The jingling bell, receiver and other'
necessary adjuncts were more than Aunt
Maria's mind, could master. She wonld
never go near "dat debbil's t'ing nohow,"
Finally one day S. rang up from bis . of
fice, and after a arief conversation request
ed bis wife to send the old woman to the
telephone. A great deal of persuasion was
required. o make her consent, but she was
finally induced to place the receiver at her
ear and listen -
"Is that you. Aunt Maria?" inquired 8
over the wire... . . .; a :-
' An expression of astonishment spread
over the old woman's countenance, quickly
followed by one of awe and another of fear
For several minutes she stood bewildered,
and then she shouted: ' '
L-L-ljiwd ; a masse. Mars' RandolpM
How, you done git down in darf"
Then she decided that he could not but
be In danger.' "Come out'en it!" she cried.
"Vouse up to some more dem pranks like
when you was a chile. Come out'en :. itl
You'll git hurt. I'se comin' . den arter
you," and with that she started toward the
street door
Mrs. S. bad bard work to keep Aunt
Maria at borne uutil "Mars' iandolp' " ar
rived. ' She refused to have matters ex
plained, but abjured Dim by everything
not "to go down in dar again.'.'.
She has never gone near the telephone
since. New York Herald.
A Thrifty Invalid.
It appears tbat it is customary In Glas
gow to send carriages to George square, in
the center of t lie city, for the convenience
of business men attending fnnerals. On
one occasion the undertaker, on getting
into the last carriage, found it already oc
cupied by a man in black, whom he recog
nized as having been present at several
recent funerals.
Desirous of knowing the identity of the
gentleman whose, circle appeared, to be so
frequently visited by the Destroying Angel,
he said in an off banded manner:
"1 suppose, noo. ye wad ken the corpse V
"No."
"A frien' o' the wife's, maybef"
"NO.-' ..:'
"Gaed to the same kirk, likelyf
: "NO." ,. . ..
A business frien', then?"
' "No." " ' . -
The undertaker's catechism and his pa
tience being by this time exhausted, he
was about' to express his astonishment at
what could have brought the mourner to
the funeral,. when the latter vouchsafed
this explanation;
' "Ye see, it's this way 1 naena been
verra weel this while back, and the doctor
advised me tae . tak' carriage exerceese.
