Is It a Freak?
A large cluster of red rasp
Berries upon one of this year's
stalks was brought into this office
yesterday morning by S. N. Wil
iius. This freak of nature may
have happened before but it is so
xtnnsual, it has excited more than
ordinary comment. It is well
kaown that, ordinarily, rasp
Berries, blackberries, and the like
require two years to mature, and
need excellent care even at that
age to bring good results. Mr.
Wilkins has tour rows of these
raspberries and the stalk from
'which the berries were taken was
the strongest and most favorably
5 located of all.
The patch is well protected on
all sides with abundant sunshine
during most of the day. The
joil is spaded deep, well manured,
pulverized, and over the whola is
laid a thin mulching of straw.
The old stalks were tamed out
last year soon after bearing so as
to give the roots the oenefit of
' rest, and likewise this year as
vaoon as the berries were gathered
the old stalks were removed and
the young shoot topped. This is
supposed to have been the cause
mi the phenomenon in question..
l?he strength of the root when the
parent stalk and the top of the
young scion had been removed
grew a sucker or false top upon,,
the young shoot, and upon this
the- beautiful large clusters of
: fcerriea grew.
There is no doubt but that the
extra care bestowed bv Mr. Wil-
insy together with the opportune
removal oi useless aeaa material
caused the supposed freak. Iu
this- accidental discovery, there is
ibod for thought to berry raisers.
Jt may be that, with proper care,
a. whole year may be saved. The
3talk we have in our posession
kre twentv blossoms and eleven
arge, full-sized berries.

Good Advice on Ginseng Business
Look out for ginseng and mush
room companies that tell you
how you can make - a great
amount of. money with only a
little labor and only a very little
land or cellar room. Especially
look out for the companies that
promise to buy all you can raise,
t fixed orf n matter what
the price is. . Do not undertake
to grow ginseng or mushrooms
either, until you have visited
some honest man who is making
a success of the business. Many
women in moderate circumstances
are continually asking if they can
support themselves by growing
ginseng in their little gardens.
Prof. L,. A. Clinton, director
of Storrs Agricultural Experi
ment Station, Connecticut, says.
"I have investigated carefully
the ginseng industry of Central
New York, having visited many
gardens, and I am certained there
is no profit whatever, for the or-
dinarv farmer. If one desiies to
purchase a few ginseng seeds, or
better yet, a few roots, to experi
ment with, he will probably re
ceive information enough to pay'
him for the money expended; but
he should not be much disappoint
ed if he receives no returns from
his investment," and he should
charge up tfie money spent " as
tuition for his education. "

To Extend The C. & E.
A matter of much importance
came before the Linn county
court, the early part of last week. !
It consisted of a proposition for
joint action ot L,inn county with
Marion county court in the con
struction of a road from the end
of the C .& E. railroad near
u,Detroit over the Cascade mount-
ains to Crook county in order to
bring the growing commerce of
that section of Eastern Oregon
to this valley, instead of letting
it go over the difficult road to the
Columbia river.
The road would be of immense
