"How to raise water by machinery for
private use" is the eubject up for dis
cuesion at the meeting of the horticul
tural . society at Hood River next Satur
day. From the amount of money spent
for rams, mills and wheels it would
seem that this eubject is a very timely
one, says the Glacier. Don't throw
away $100 on something to raise water
with and then find it will not fill the
bill. Attend the horticultural meeting,
and by listening and questioning find
out just what you need before you buy.

Mr. Clary, a Kansas city gentleman
who is taking inthe Inland Empire on
business, informs us there is still await-
ng shipment at one city alone in the
'alouse region 500,000 bushels of wheat,
iot one third of which is in warehouse,
ut is piled up on platforms on the out
side. Six thousand cars of wheat have
passed Ellensburgh en route to Tacoma
alone. Coupled with this statement is
the fact that a great amount of wheat is,
still held by the farmers of eastern
Washington for better prices, and yet
not one-fourth of the wheat land is in
cultivation. Taken as it is the situation
plainly shows that with the Columbia
river alone will we be able to ship the
products of the Inland Empire in any
thing like reasonable time annually in
the near future.

CHASED BT ' COUGAR.
An Exciting Incident Recorded by Jun
iper lat.
Mr. Samuel Patterson has charge of
two cougar, which were captured by a
late arrival from tiie east, and while in
the act of feeding them, they became
enraged and jumping out of the cage,
which was a frail affair, made of pine
slats, they started for Mr. Patterson,
who took to his heels, and made straight
for the nearest juniper tree, which he
climbed in great haste. It riot being
out of the cougar's line of business to
climb, they too ascended the tree. Just
at this stage of the game Mr. Patterson's
screaming for help could be heard for
miles, and the gentleman who captured
the cougars happened to be on the ranch
and hastened to the scene with a Win
chester rifle in hand, with which" he
commenced firing. At three shots both
cougars rolled to the ground dead. Mr.
Patterson could stand the strain no
longer; his eyes commenced to roll, and
he fell to the ground unconscious. A
little cold water is quickly administered
and he retnrns to the land of the living.
In regaining consciousness, he looked
around and seeing the two cougars lying
prostrate on the ground, he drew a long
deep sjgh of relief, staggered to his feet
with the aid of his friend and took ref
uge in the house. Though not seriously
ill, he is still very weak, and remains
within doors by the orders of his family
physician. ' - J. F.

Spraying Is Essntial. ;
Hillsboro Independent.. The idea
eeems to prevail quite extensively among
the apple growers of Oregon and Wash
ington that it is useless to attempt to
save apples from the ravages of ' the
Codlin moth by spraying. Correspond
ents Shave in two Jor three : instances
lately, written letters claiming that no
practical good results come from such
syraying. These writers seem to forget
that apples are raised and the codlin
flourishes in a great many other places
as well as in the Pacific northwest and
that the orchardists of the leading apple
growing districts do save a very large
proportion of their apples from the rav
ages of the codlin moth by spraying
with arsenites. What can be done else
where can be done here and, in fact, is
done here. Re porta".,, have been
made by a number ol fruit growers in
Oregon who. have saved the greater part
of their fruit by spraying. The reports
of the results of the experiments at the
Oregon Agricultural college have never
been discredited, and Prof. Washburn
reports that they have saved 85 per cent,
of their apples by spraying this year.
The proposed plan of trapping the worms
ofthe codlin moth is an excellent one as
far as it goes, and ought to be universally
adopted. Until it is universally adopted
and followed it will be necessary to spray
the fruit because the moths which lay
the eggs will not confine their operation
to the orckard in which they developed
but will fly also to the orchards in which
all the worms have been trapped
