CIRCULATION MAKES
OFFICIAL
The Paper. Without it advertisers get
nothing for their money. The Gazette,
with one exception, has the largest circula
tion of any paper in Eastern Oregon.
Therefore it ranks high as an advertising
medium.
Buy advertising space because rates are
low generally the circulation is a sight
lower. Circulation determines the value
of advertising ; there is no other standard.
The Gazette is willing to abide by it.

INTERESTING BIOGRAPHIES.
rwo Tonne Women Agree to Write Each

It's a novel idea, that of two young
women living far south of iluitalo
They were little girls together and
have continued as chums up to the
present time. They are now well along
in their teens. One clay when they
were playing with dolls a novel idea
was proposed. It was that at the end
of each year each would write n history
of the other's life during the twelve
months just parsed. Details about the
joys, sorrows and incidents of daily life
to lie chronicled and each was
given permission to point, out me xauiis
and failings of-the other.
The scheme, suvs tin: Toledo Blade,
has worked to a eliarin as far as can be
learned for the biographies are kept
secret and young women have seen
themselves as others sec them. One of
them told a friend a short time ago that
die had found two faults with her friend
last year and an equal nuinlier hud been
found with her. She said that the word
love had never been written by cither
in her chronicle. 1 his year, however,
will likely contain something referring
to the divine passion. Jt is said too
that the kodak has been brought into
requisition this year for the purpose of
illustration, when the party illustrated

ORCHARD TALK.
WIER THINKS MANURES ARE NOT
REQUIRED
If Proper Cultivation and Water Be
lUveu Clover and Alfalfa Are Ree
ommended as Helpful Wrong Pruning
Deplored.
Must men consider that manures are a
necessity in t he production of fruits.
But have they observed und experi
mented thoroughly? Have they taken
un old and well-worn field, 011 which
constant cultivation had reduced the
corn crop from fifty to sixty bushels to
the acre to twenty-five or ttnrty-hve,
ami planted it to trees without fertilizers
f any kind, and then given the trees
thorough culture and noticed the result?
Have they tested high manuring and
thorough culture without manuring on
soils side by side and noted the result f
If they have nut they are not competent
to give an opinion. In a climate of
reasonably abundant summer rainfall,
manure to an orchard kept seeded to red
clover and rightly npplied gives very
nearly the same results as an orchard of
similar soil thoroughly cultivated with
out manure. This 1 have tested thor
oughly and observed others do the same,
and a poorer upland soil, with thorough
culture, gave better results than either,
but required more labor. Cultivation is
better than manure for orchards if
rightly and thoroughly applied, even on
soils naturally quite poor. My experi
ence has convinced me that good lrult,
and a large amount of it, can be grown
to perfection ou any upland soil that
sufficient moisture can be kept in by
thorough cultivation throughout the
summer. W here irrigation is neeessary,
if the laud is poor, but plowed deeply,
and is given the proper amount of water,
good results follow. And then again,
observation has proven conclusively that
on deep, fairly good soil requiring irri
gation that fruits apples and pears at
least, and possibly plums and cherries
will give betUir results if, after the trees
are estaoiisiieil, tne orcnaru is seeaeu
down permanently to alfalfa or red
clover, and given all they need, and 110
more, of good water. From experiments
extonding over twelve years this has
been found to be true, and shows that
either culture or water alone gives nil
the plant food the orchard requires on
any good soil, and that the two combined
may and I have no doubt do at times
give an injurious excess of plant food.
Either alfalfa or clover is well adapted
to the purpose for two reasons. First,
they are repellent to most insects and
diseases injurious to fruit trees; and
second, being grown in the growing
season, they keep the soil cool and at a
regular temperature, and prevent sud
den radiation of heat, and the reflection
of heat and light upwards on the under
surface of the leaves, which has been
found by experiment to he very injuri
ous, and is always present with bare
ground culture.
As experiments have proved, the only
case where manures and special fertil
izers may have a place is when the trees
have been long in bearing, and proper
cultivation and pruning have been done,
the trees and fruits show unmistakable
signs of not being as good as when the
trees were four to ten years old.
Then is the time to experiment with
manures or special fertilizers. But be
careful to apply the right kind of man
ure in the right quantity. Still, I believe
that this is unnecessary, and that right
culture or prop'er watering will give all
necessary nourishment for the best re
sults. One wrong pruning will forever
spoil the vigor of an orchard. There is
110 possible way of getting that vigor
back if it is once weakened in that way.
There is avast amount yet to be learned
about correct fruit growing, and it is
only by constant experiment that we
can make progress. If our orchards are
ruined liet'ore they are old enough to
fruit the damage cannot be overcome.
There are hundreds of orchards to-day,
complete wrecks, that never did any
good, and there are hundreds of young
orchards trained ou the same old stereo
typed lines, and these will also be
ruined. Of what value are the several
thousand old apple and pear orchards of
Sonoma county, Cal.? Nearly everyone
of the young orchards in that county
bear the same ear mark, and their value
is greatly lessened by wrong treatment.

SOCIETY'S FREAKS.

Fashionable Women Have Their Comely

In this age of freaks and fads nothing
is very surprising. A radical departure
from that to which all are accustomed,
of course, draws forth comment for the
time being, but the talk is short lived,
and few days roll around before society
is discussing the merits of another in
novation. AVliat an endless amount of
gossip, savs the Detroit Free l-ess, was
caused by the adoption of the decollete
dresses not many years ago. How the
cartoonists strove to outdo each other in
their caricatures, and how the para
graphists labored to produce funnier
jokes about the prevailing styles than
their rivals. Yet this is all ever, and to
day a high-necked dress is indeed rare
at a grand ball. So with all things, the
young man and his kummerbuud, par
ticularly. But they appear to have
come to stay until the people who foster
these departures tire of them and look
for something new.
These changes, or progress, as they
are termed, are not ulone confined to
dress. All the arts must step up in
their turns and accept with good grace
changes which would make the old
masters seek oblivion in some convenient
cave. Among tile most noticeable fads
of this season are two which have given
the photographer and designer in plaster
of puris quite a revenue. In some
clime a lady with a pretty foot, which
she could not display to a sufficient de
gree to satisfy her vanity, owing to the
social restrictions which compel both
rich and poor to wear shoes, conceived
the idea of having a cast taken and a
likeness made in bronze. Like wildfire
did the craze spread until it has per
vaded the civilized world. In somo
cities which never assume the initiative
in such departures, the establishment
of this custom was slower than in the
metropolises of both worlds, but it came
at last, and now the sculptor, or what
ever you may call the artistic plasterer,
is reaping a harvest. Detroit belongs
to this lat ter class, and some members
of its population have the malady badly.
The method wis learned at a studio
where the work is performed. Coyly
does the maiden acquaint the master
with the object of her visit, and a time
is set for the casting. She returns on
the appoinlcrt- day, and, releasing her
foot from the prison of silk and leather
which protects it from earthly sub
stances on which the natives trampled
in bygone years, she places it in the
position told. A shiver creeps up her
spinal column as the plaster is npplied,
and when the foot has been completely
covered as high ns the ankle the cast
is taken oil and allowed to dry for a
week. Then it is blighUy moistened
and the liquid plaster is poured in the
mold, from which it is taken as soon ns
sufficiently dried, and then the final
drying and smoothing off takes place.
At the end of a week there is an exact
counterpart of the foot in plaster of
paris.
The work is difficult and the price for
a plaster cast is twenty-live dollars. If
the lady desires it in bronze the cost is
sixty dollars; and if in marble ono
hundred and fifty dollars, and probably
more if the sculptor's reputation is such
as to warrant him in charging one per
son enough to pay his elementary edu
cation in the art.
The expense of the plaster and bronze
casts makes it impossible for the lady
to distribute these touching remem
brances of herself, and some genius in
feminine garb launched the idea of hav
ing the foot photographed. It has
taken well in the east, and it has been
reported that ladies right here in De
troit have had their feet "taken."
Ono cannot glean the slightest idea
of what the foot looks like from the
shoe except ns to length, and in the
days when the heels were worn under
the instep you couldn't tell even that.
"It is not the foot which looks pretty
in the sh ,c which is perfect, not by any
means,'' said an artist. "As a rule the
women having the prettiest feet wear
the most comfortable shoes and their
feet look larger and not nearly as
shapely 11s those of the women who
wear tight shoes when on the street."

Q HAND JDI1Y ItKPORT.
In the Cirouit Court of the State of
Oregon, for Morrow county.
In the matter of the final report of the
Grand Jury for the September term, 1892.
lo the Honorable Cirouit Court above
named :
We, the grand jury for the Sept. term,
18'J2, respectfully report to the court that
we have now been in session four days,
and have found and reported to the court
three indictments and one not a true bill,
and that we have examined into several
mutters brought before us that have tak
en the greater portion ot onr time, but
which, after investigation, we fonnd did
not warrant indictments, and no reports
has therefore been made thereon.
We have also inquired into the condi
tion and management of the offices per
taining to tbe courts of justice in said
oounty, and also the public prisons in
tbe county. We find the olerk, sheriff
and treasurer's offioes well and neatly
kept so far as we are able to judge. We
find the oounty jail well kept and man
aged. We find, however, that tbe build
ing sits up off tbe ground and that the
space underneath is open. We would,
therefore recommend that a foundation
be placed under the building, ot either
brick or stone, and that the same be made
tight so that it would be impossible for
persons to get underneath the cells, thus
rendering the jail much more secure.
We find the city jail in the town of Hepp
ner in good condition, and well kept and
managed.
Having oompleted our labors, we re
spectfully ask to be discharged.
