It Takes Place Three Months Hence
and is Expected to be Bitter.
New York. March 17. The general
election in Germany, which will take
place three months hence, says a
Tribune dispatch from London, will
probably be a more bitter one than on
any previous occasion, as several im
portant public interests will bo at
stake, which are In direct antagonism
to each other. The alliance of the
moderate parties on the question of
a customs tariff, by means of which
it was possible to defeat socialist ob
struction, proves to have been merely
a temporary one. At the last election
one-third of the votes of all the elect
ors were given to the socialist candi
dates, and the discontent which pre
vails all over Germany is constantly
bringing new recruits to the socialist
ranks.

Umatilla County Would Produce Bot
tcr Grades of Apples If Codlln Moth
Were Fought Harder Nursery
Stock Very Scarco and High.
Hon. Judd Goer, horticultural com

trict, comprising tho counties of Uma
tilla, Union, Baker, Wallowa, Harnoy,
Malheur and Grant, arrived In tho
city this afternoon, on his rogulor
tour of inspection of tho orchards of
his district.
Mr. Geer reports tho conditions In
his entire district to bo vory satis

has been sovoro In many districts,
lias not Injured tho fruit In tho IcaBt,
whllo tho prospects for a largo crop
are excellent.
Mr. Geer begins his regular Inspec

that tho season is several wooks ear
lier here than In any othor part of his
district, and fruit trees are farthor
advanced. Ho will spond this after

and will then go to Milton, probably

Advantages of This County.
His opinion is that Umatilla county
fruit raisers could grow a much bottor
winter apples than nro now producod
here, if tho codlln moth was fought
as hard as tho scale Is now bolng
fought. Ho says no placo lu Oregon
offors more natural advantages, In tho
way of cllmato and soil than Umatilla
county, for a perfect grado of winter
npples.
Ho cannot say yot to what oxtont
tho fruit pests oxlm in this county,
as ho has only bogun his Inspection,
but ho says thnt tho numerous posts
that affect Oregon fruit, nro dimin
ishing each year In both their ravngos
and In tho territory covered. Tho
board of horticulture has spared no
pains to get tho Infected districts un
der control, and hns succeodod, with
tho cooperation ot tho fruit growers
to reduce tho pests to a minimum.
In Eastern Oregon, Mr. Ooor says,
tho applo crop of last year, has. boon
well cleaned up, at fair prices. Very
few carloads remain In Grand Ronde
valley at this tlmo.
Besides about threo carloads of
nursery stock shlppod Into that val
ley, fully as much inoro has boon din
trihiitud from local nurseries for this
spring's planting. Tho principal
kinds nt fruit trees being planted aro
hardy, highly flavored, highly colored,
winter apples and ciiorries.

Nursery stock all over tho Pacific
Coast Is vory scarco and high priced
