BRINGING TREES INTO BE A KING
Some Valuable Suggestions by Professor
HendricK.
. If asked the question "Have yot got
a stomach?" it would be safe on gen
eral principles, to answer "Yes." But,
if you are sure of it, that is, if you ever
feel any distress after eating or any
pains of whatever description in the
region of the stomach, you have got
something more than an ordinary
stomach; in other words, you have got
a diseased stomach. The stomach is a
powerful muscle, and the proper
remedy for a tired muscle is rest. Try
the Shaker Disrestive Cordial, for this
product not only contains digested
food, which will nourish the system
without any work on the part of the
diseased ortrans, but it aids the diges
tion of other foods as well. You can
teat its value in your case for the trifi
ing sum of 10 cent?. Sample botties
at this price are carried by all drug
gists.
Laxol is the best medicine for chil
dren. Doctors recommend it in place
of Castor Oil.

Prof. Hendrick. botanist and horti-
culturalist at the state agricultural col
lege, makes the followirg suggestions
rceardinir treatment of trees that do
not bear fruit:
Mr Schanno, of the fourth horti
cultural district, has called my atten
tion to the fact that trees in his distriat,
especially apple trees from eight to
ten years old, have never borne fruit,
and asks my opinion as to how it may
be remedied.
There may bo several causes. The
barrenness may be in the variety, as
the Northern Spy; it may be caused
by a soil too rich, or by over cultiva
tion. The last two conditions are
m03t common, and are net infrequent
in Oregon. It is one of the three, 1 1
take for granted is the causa m Hood
River and the fourth district. Orchar-
dists have tlieso methods of bringing
trees inta b-;irinir: Root prjninar,
summer pruning cifi sowing some crop
in the orchard.
Root pruning, oy cut. ing off a part
of the food supply, deprives the losves
of their usual nourishment, and pre
vents their using the nutritious matter
on hand. The branches era therefore
retarded in their growth, food accumu
lates and fruit buds are formed, be
cause the energies oi tue tree are
diverted from plant-growth to fruit-
bud formation. Koot pruning is ac
complished by digging a trench the
width of a spade at a radius of several
feet from the trunk and from two to
three feet deep. In so doing enough
of the roots will bo cut to secure the
object sought, and should be performed
in winter. The treatment is somewhat
harsh, and must be douo very judi
ciously.
Iu summer pruning, by depriving a
tree of nart of its lOliage, the exuber
ance of growth is checked, because tho
assimilation of food is greatly hin
dered. Summer pruning is best ac
complished by cutting off a few of the
smaller branches not required in form
ing the frame of the tree, and after the
young shoots haye made a growth of
several inches; by pinching them back
two or three inches, fruit spurs will be
the result. It is easy to overdo sum
mer pruning, and the remedy should
be resorted to . only when absolutely
necessary, and then care must be ex
ercised. The last remedy for Don-bearing
trees is most frequently employed, and
has the least objectionable features.
In an orchard where the soil is so rich
that trees become too luxuriant iu fol
iage a crop of grain for one year Is a
very effectual and convenient way of
throwing the tree into bearing.

THE WORLD'S WHEAT.
Poor Crops In Some Sections Offset by
Good Ones Elsewhere,
f
A summary of crop estimates for the
world indicates at least as much wheat
as was produced lust year, and possibly
more, says the San Francisco Com
mercial News, bad reports from France
and portions of Russia having been off
set by advances at other equally im
portant points. Particularly is the
gain appaiect in this country where
developments have proven an effiective
drag upon any upward inclination in
speculative values. European author
ities, w ho are ever found among the
proclaimtrs of high prices, profess to
derive much satisfaction from the
French situation, which is said to war
rant the expectation that 3,C0O,0O0
quarters will be needed. Offers of
Indiana wheat are at the same time
passed by as of little moment, since
that section has been-put down as a
non-exporter, and must, therefore, be
regarded as having, under most favor
able conditions, little wheat' to spare.
Against the unfavorable items the im
provement in tho Ucited States has
small weight, although it is quite
likely that this will much more tnan
compensate for the impairment of the
French prospect. Moreover, specula
tion has already expressed its views of
the matter in a declining market, so
that the ultra bullish view seems for
the' present, at least, to be rather
thankless.
On this coast, but especially in Cali
fornia, -the weather has been singu
larly favorable, and surppising pro-
eres has been made both by early and
late-sown grain, reports in regard to
the latter, in some cases, taxing cred
ulity. The San Joaquin yalley is com
ing out in better shape than was be
lieved possible, and the average will
be good, at any rate the yield will
probably be as large as that of last
year, with a fair claim at present rate
of progress of surprising the conserva
tives. Harvesting will begin, next
week In advanced sections, and thus a
clearer idea may be bad.

' FOR BOOK AGENT'S MURDER.
Rlcnard Blnkle ArrestKl In Grant County
tne Second Time.
- Richard Hinkle, accused of being an
accomplice in the murder of George
W. Scott,the book agent, near Izee,
in 1895, and who was indicted at the
Hay term of court, just closed, has
been arrested and lodged in jail at
Canyon City. Hinkle and Bare were
arrested soon -after the discovery of
the remains of Scott, which had been
burned in a cabin with the intention
of concealing the crime. -and the for
mer was discharged. ' Bare was con
victed at the October, 1896, term of the
circuit court, and received a life sen
tence in the penitentiary. It is
thought that the late grand jury was
furnished with additional evidence
against Hinkle, as it is now over a
year since his arrest and acquittal by
the grand jury on the same charge.
The crime for which these two men
were arrested and for which Bare is
serving sentence was most brutal.
George W. Scott, the victim, was on a
tour of the interior counties, engaged
in the sale of books, and when mur
dered was in a remote portion of Grant
county, near the Crook county line.
After murdering the lone peddler, the
assassin or assassins carried the body
to a deserted cabin, which they burned,
and, as tbey thought, covered -up all
clews to the crime.
THE SAME OLD ACCIDENT.
Palled a Loaded Gun by the Muzzle and
It Went off.
David Miller, the village school mas
ter at Wamic, had just recovered from
a spell of fever, and last Saturday
thought he would get his shotgun out
and clean it preparatory to enjoying
the sport of wing shooting before re
suming his dutios in the. school room
on Monday. The gun was loaded, and
when Mr. Miller picked it up by the
muzzle the hammer caught on some
thing and discharged the load. His
left arm was in close proximity to the
gun and received the entire load of
shot between the shoulder and elbow.
The flesh was terribly mangled, though
the bone was not broken, but the main
artery was severed, and Mr. Miller
came near bleeding to death before
medical aid could be summoned.
Dr. N. G. Powne,of Tygh. was called
and succeeded in checking the flow of
blood, and patched up the injured
member so that Mr. Miller will have a
pretty good arm when the wound heals.
At last accounts he was recovering
from his injuries, though it will be a
month or morn before he will be able
again enter the school room.
Baker City Tournament.
Tuesday Baker city opened
her
gates to welcome the firemen, and the

parade of the visiting and local fire
men was reviewed by ' Mayor Kellogg,
the city council and invited guests,
from the balcony of the Warshauer
hotel. After the parade the following
exercites were held at the armory:
Address Mayor Kellogg
Address of Welcome Hon. Wm. Smith
Response l..Hon. J. W, Morgan
The day was an ideal one for the be
ginning tha third annual assembling
of the Eastern Oregon and Washing
ton Firemen's Association, and the
hospitality that was extended by the
citizens of Baker City made the visitors
feel that a wise choice was made in
selecting that city' as their place of
meeting. -

PHOTOGRAPHING SOUND.
A Brooklyn Minister Has Discovered
Process by. Which It Van Be Done.
The New York Herald is responsible
for the statement that the .process of
photographing sound waves: and from
the plate reproducing the original
sound has been successfully carried
out by the Rev. A. S. Ferguson, a
Baptist minister, now living in Brook
lyn. The astonishing part of his dis
covery, he says, is the simplicity of the
process by which this has been ac
complished. There is no ponderous or
complicated machinery. Only two
discs each about seven inches in di
ameter, revolved by ordinary cranks.
One of these, the recorder, is hori
zontal. The second, the reproducer,
revolves perpendioularly. ,
Speaking of his invention, Mr. Fer
guson said: V"
"About six years ago it struck me
that it would be possible to photograph
sound by manipulating a ray of light
and reproducing the sounds recorded
by such manipulation upon a sensitized
plate. The 'lightophone,' as I call
this instrument, I have secured by
patent, both here and in England.
"I am now working on a machine to
not only record sound, but to repro
duce it in typewriting, and I am con
fident that I can do so. Many scien
tific men here and in Europe have
written to me about it, and in this city
Professors Packham and Seldner, of
the Adelphi college, have seen it and
pronounced it an invention of marvel
ous interest and possibilities.
Secretary of the Navy Long and the
officers f the batt?--ship. Oregon, de
spite the latter's disinclination to take
any risk that might ensue in bringing
the warship over tho Columbia river
bar, do not propose that the people of
the state of Oregon and of Portland
shall be slighted. Instead of tho Ore
gon,' there shall be two United States
warships enter the Columbia river and
participate in the coming Fourth of
July celebration at Portland, says the
Telegram. These ships will be the
coast defense monitors Monterey and
Monadnock, and on the former will
come the officers of the battle-ship Ore
gon to receive the silver punchbowl
and service to be presented by the peo
ple of Oregon, in recognition of the
honor given the state in the naming of
the splendid warship.
This sending the two monitors
means the presence in Portland of the
largest force of bluejackets and ma
rines that city will haye as yet wit
nessed. The complements of the
Monterey and Monadnock combined
number close to 900 men. . That of the
Oregon is less thaa 600.
