LJitor Willametto Fanncri In tho last issuo of your paper I notlco nil aiticlo headed "Slauderous," in which you nuoto a paragraph from an editorial In tho Christian Advocate. You say that tho Ad vocato slauders tho secritaty and directors by savin: that ho (the secretary), cncournzei gambling, etc. You siy tlioy do not allow gambling when they can pro vent It. Now, I want to know your definition of gambling. Thoy allow horse-raciu;, an 1 there is moro gambling douo on the raco-track than anywhere clso during fair wcok. Rut I sup pose that is called "betting," anl ii only in dulged in by the "high-touol big-bugs" who uover gimblo. In conclusion I would say tint I do not like the way the Advocato putt it, but I claim that the So:ity allows and encourages gtmbling to an alarming extent. M. This nutter is important, and wochoerfully givo place to reasonabld criticism. As to selling pools, as bngns the.law doei not pro hibit nnil tho oiittoms of the country sanction it, nud men thjuk they uutt bjt oa tunning horses', the tooloty-faels, (tut it cannot break over tho citaV.ishol 'usagiJi In csnuo:tion with this do.nrtmeni ; but we uotio:d this year tho abirncijof all gir.ibliiig devices, chance games, whujls o! fortuuo and Iho 1 l;o ; at !oat, no a i.Ii ar.'a'i-tmouti wcro in sight, anl wo dlsaowred the reason whin hearing tho Seeretiry r-a 1 over tho terms of licesso to a ierm who wanted to carry on soma suoli porfornuueo. Tl.o termi of liceuso cxpreiily prohibl: nuy nud all lotteries, gimes of claiot or gift euterprie. This is a tep In tho right direction. We should like to sea grmbling or hnrs? uoes d):i away .wlth'but thtt it ipt easily done, for if pools aro not opmly sj.!, they can bo sold lIw tvUsre, nul-i.ri.-A'.j hitting cannot le pro vcuUd. .'Lu The directors o! t u so .slaty aro inin of tho bu.t cliaractir, and many of -tlnr.i aro laiitvn as sincsrely rsligiosi ; a.i 1 v. hdc t!uy cniuic t excluaa a'.l lm:n.iu iu:a:m;ii troni tl.o i air Ground, thsy certainly do endeavor to dis charge their duty to tho public honestly and onsclentiouily.

Sweet Potatoes. The other day wo mods a practical tost of the sweet potato raised by our frit ml M. Wilklns, of Liu J county, aid found that when cooked it wai fully eqtal to tho boil importe 1. It was quite large, end every way desirable. If w ctri raise as good jrt pj tatocs as that in Oregon, there should be ri time lost in doing it. Perhaps Mr. Rilrklrart or Mr. Wilklns will give us thejr experienco in this line. CtitEtei-William J. Clarke, of tho WL lAMnrxE F.ir.Mrn, came denrn upon us this yvqek from Grand Hondo valley, whsw Lo har be:n en busiucii pertaining to 1.1s paper.

' PORTLAND, OREGON, OCT. M, 1ST 9. NORTHWESTERN HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. FctlTLANO, Oct. 13, IS"?. Tho society met at tho council chamber, President S. Luclling in the chair and S. A. Clarke Secretary iro tern. Tho minutes wcu approved as published. Tho especial builncss of tho inciting was to receivo the report of the committeo rp pointed to decido tho Silver l'rimo question. Of this committeo it seems that n sub-corn-mlttco was organized consistiugof J. H. Lam bert and S. Luelliug, aud Mr. Lambtrt being unavoidably absent, sent in tho following special report i Milwackie, Or., Oct." 17, 1870. To tho Northwestern Horticultural Society i It being impracticable for mo to meet with you at your next meeting, 1 deem it proper as a membor of your committeo appointed to ascertain tho dilTcrcnco, If auy, between tho Silver Prune and Coo' Golden Drop, to statu that I have Investigated tho matter pretty thoroughly by comparing the fruit whilo green ami by drying. I also, iu company with S. Luclling, vlsltod tho orchard of Mr. Alderman and examined tho original trees with tho fruit on them. The follow ing Is sub statitlaliy Mr. Alderman's statement as to their origiut About six tears ago l.o received a lot o'f trees from 0. W, Walling, among which was ono bunch of n hundred, n portion of which wero labeled "Columbia Plum." When tho tries bora fruit they proved not to bo Colum bla, but a different variety of very superior fruit. So well pleased was l.o with it that hi called tho attention of Mours. I'luinmcr and ipaMinjr to It. They wcro miablo to tell him what it was, but pronounced it a "prune.1 Ho told them 'jo wanted to get somo nursery man to propagate It tor lilm. liiey rocom mendod II. V, Prattymau, and communicated tho fact to him. In a few days Mr. Pretty man called at Alderman' home aud after ex amining tho trees and fruit orlercd him W0 for 14 trees which stood in his garden, tho remainder having been planted on hfs farm across tho Yamhill liver, and most of which died. His proposition wai refused, but tho privilege was granted him of removing ono trco to his placo and using tho grafts from tho remainder on condition that ho was to have 1,000 of the trees. Prcttyinan Ins cut grafts from thirteen trees, and none other. Tho trees iiavo tho appearance of high cul tivation, and when I saw Hum on tho 1.1th iiut., had fino specimens cf a superior quality of fruit on them, which I unhesitatingly pro nounce Coe'n Golden Drop, hut which would bo likely to mitlcvt ono inexperienced iu fiuit culture. Tho fact of their boating entirely en tho heavy wood is accounted for in my estima tion by their b.eing annually mt back for the grafts, preventing the formation of fiuit buds on nny other part of the tre. I a!:a lay before you sp.-Un.ius if tic driid fruit, somo of which-weie grown r.ud dried by Mr. Alderman, sotiie grown by Mr. Alilcrman nvl iiiUM ny mystu, and some grown by Mr. Widhng Ld diiwl by me, which I thiiik will convince you that tho Coo's Golden I'ioji n a .ry suierior pluu for drying when giuwu t fcutl- jueat peifec ,(iou.

After consultation, Governor Oibbs, from tho main committee on the Silver Pruuo question, offered tho follow ing resolutions, which were adopted I Resolved, That tho testimony submitted to this committeo shows that tho trees called tho Silver Prune wcro obtained soma six years sinco from G. W. Walling ; that thcro was quito a number of theso trees. Wo therefore judgo that this disposes of tho question as to its being n now fruit. Koiolved, That specimens submitted to ui from other orchards, which havo been culti vated under the name of Coo's Golden Drop, we beliovu to bo Identical with the Silver Pruno. Resolved, That, according to tho testi mony submitted to us, tho growth, fblisgo and limbs of tho Silver Prima aud Coe's Golden Drop aro tho samo. Resolved, That, by tho testimony of fruit growers, cultivation, soil, locality and tipo ncss of f I tilt, inako a dilTercnco iu the size, appearauco nud llavor i and in our opinion this is suilicitnt to nccouut for tho dilTcrcnco of specimen of fruit Milmlttid to us.

W.

Somo fino samples of dried fruit, also now varieties, wcro shown. Mr, LnrnVrt showed thrco boxes of dried juunos, one each from tho orcVmli of Wnlliug it Son, Alderman, and his own, nnd it was impossible to distin guish any difference in tho character or lb lor. This soemed convincing as to tho Men ty of tho Silver Pitiuu with tho Coe's Golden Drop, as tho fiuit reprcasntcd both. Mr. Luclling showed n branch withuuripo Japanese persunmous on it. Mr. Walling showed soedliug winter pears, olio seedling winter apples, and, line speci men of tho Mount eruun pear. Seteral guntlcmen shonud dried prunes of the Coo's Golden Drop and Silver l'runu va- rictl, and it wai noticoiblo that in soma cries tho fiuit was tart, while that called Sil ver Pruuo was always lerystieet; but this was ruled to bo duo to vaiioui circumstances of ripeness or manner of drying, i'-otli varie ties driv I by Mr. Lambsrt seemed identical, as I the dried fruit was very sweet.

Tho identity of tho Silver Prune nud tho Coo's Golden Drop seems established beyond quostion by tho judgment of tho State llortl. cultural Soeioty; but their Judgment was so rendered as to decide that whilo certain fruit has boon propagated Iu Oregon as tho Coo's Golden Drop, which was not tho truo variety, tho so-called Bilror Prune is tho truo and vcritablo Cou's Oolden Drop, and an unques tionably superior fruit. It is worth some thing to Iijao discovered that iuferlor fruit has been cultivated In somo caies as Coo'a Oolden Drop, aud to decido tho superior mer its of tho truo varioty. Mr. Prcttyinan was, uo doubt, a Unit believer in tho Silver Pruno as a now varioty, and now that tho question is determined against him, ho still has, in common with his brother nurserymen who possess tho true Coo's Golden Drop, in it tho best fruit that grows of the pruno or plum species.
