Advice to Frnlt Grower From the Bute
Board of Agriculture.
Henry E. Doecb contributes the
following importaut and interest
ing artiolo to the Gazette, as presi
dent of the State Board of Agricul
ture:
To The Editor: The season is
at ban 1 for the cultivation of and
oaring for our fruit trees thia
summer. The small crop likely to
be gathered thia fall, owing to the
unseasonable climate conditions,
will have a tendency to cauae
many growers to negleot their
trees when they ued the utmost
car and nursing. It is very
human to do our utmost when
everything is flourishing, and pro
fits apparently large, I) foioe
matters; and rquallv human to
drop everything when the reverse
is the 066.
In several of th reports issued
through the pre and leaflets, by
tlw United States Weather Bureau,
it is stated th a; the unseasonable
cold wave in February, ba 1 done
little or no damage. These reports
are no doubt complied from tne
statements recived from looal
observers ond correspoudents
throughout the State, and coming
from each a source and high au
thority as tb.9 United Slates
Weather Bureau, are presumed to
to be correc an 1 reliable, and are
very naturally believed by the
fruitgrower. Advice received at
this offioea, however, from prao
tioal fruitgrowers and members of
thia board from the various dis
tricts are of a different nature, and
the damage done is becoming more
and more apparent every day, es
pecially in the middle Willamette
Valley and y&rti f Eastern Ore
gon; the Umpqua ani . Rogue
River Valleys escaped, without in
jury. We know do that thous
ands of young prune trees have
been killel on lands n
adapted to fru t raising, Had
thousands of others planted on
more favorable land have been
seriousty injured, and if neglected
many will ither die or bacome
permanently crippled, aod such
trejs ne 1 oir utmjst care right
now.
The continued cold rain, which
ma'ies iha fruit drop, naturally
tend) to discouragement, and, in
additioi, neglect of the orchard
will invite fungm diseases and
insect pests, aud for these reasons
alone the spray pump must be
kept going, regardless of any crop
or no crop. We uoald therefore
urge most earnestly upon owners
of injured or fruitless trees, not to
become discouraged, but to give
their free extra care, by pruning
off injured limbs, spraying, and
most thoroughly cultivating the
soil, for they need it much more
right now than if in healthy con
dition. Good result is certain to
fellow by the fruit some of these
trees may yet bear this year larger
aod finer, and by reason of this
with extra care such trees will start
with renewed vigor and reward
their owners for this additional
work with an abundant crop the
coming year.
Reverses are met with in al)
walks of life the merchant, the
banker, the arti&an and the grain
farmer all share alike in off years,
so to speak; why should the fruit
grower be exempt even in this
most favored State of ours.
Oregon fruits ae finding favor
in many old markets, and with the
nw markets opening up to us, the
demand is certainly increasing,
but this demand i only fur firit
class fruit, and each fruit cannot
be grown on neglected and diseased
trees. The up-to date fruit grower
who will 'give Lis best thought,
care and attention to his trees at
such a time ns the present, is sure
to win in the end by abundant
crops and remunerative prices
hence we would cay to all orchard
ists: "Don't despair, don't get
discouraged, but keep ou right
along, & if we expected a most
bountiful harvest and Jesuits are
ceitain to follow."

ANswKule Which Will Hava a Marked
Influeoce on Lives took Business. -Knit
Oregonlan.
There is Mi throughout ibia Motion
a lively interest iu the new role to be
come effeotive on . May 25, doing aay
with . the fetding-iu-transit reiee that
have (or the paat twenty yeara been
given by the transcontinental lines.
Ike Herman, repreaentiug the Oregon
short line, who wet in the city today,
waa asked to give the the salient fea
tures of the new role and .what its best
ing would be on the livestock business
in general.
"Briefly stated," snid ' Mr. Hermsn,
'the facta are tbeae: It has been al
ways the custom (or buyers to oome out
from the East, purchase eheep or oattle,
ship them to no mo point east of here,
and eeoure a feeding traasit rate, by the
term of wbioh tby , could unload the
block and feed it, ship it further, unload
and feed tgbin, aud flonlly laud lb
atook in the Chicago or Omaha or Kan
sas Oity mukt. It was possible, under
suoh a rule, to ship a given lot to some
point in Wyoming, unload them, and
then, at a later date, ahip other oattle on
the same shipping bi'l.
"These utiipmcnta were elso made to
Nebraska fuinta, Qrana Island, North
Platte, KsKroey, Colnmbiro, Crawford
aud other Uom in that stale. The
idta continued in I he new rule is to put
a stop to tljifl p.uotioe and on and after
May 25, no rates will be quoted except
for the ebipment.of stock to the place at
hic;h they are to be unloaded. .
' Tne inme rule will apply to the ship-
of live atook from thia Bcotion to Obl
ong;, via Montaua ond the Dakota". .
' It er on hh though it would be in
evitable that the new rule's enforcement
would have eome influence on the prices
paid for liTCHleok, ell hough the effect lo
be wroutflit ties proably- been exagger
uit'd by some writers. It i likely that
the unrobrr of euet p that will be affected
is britwen 50.000 and 300,000, aod the
ittle, between 80,000 aud E0.000. ) :
"The manner iu which the rule: will
affHOt the livestock prioes is this: The
shipper baa frrqueotly secured these
feeding-in-trnDBite rates, and to him the
railroad wonld issue shipping ''bills
based on that understanding. These
shipping bills the buyer would sell to
some otber deulere, who would, use them
for the shipment of otber oattle or sbeep
t Omaha, Khurhs City or Cbioago, thus
poHkPBHiug in Ibe shipping bills a die
tmot ad vantage which will now be de
nied him."

The most delightful ride aoross tbe

over what is known as "Tbe Senlo Route
of tbe Werld." It matters not at wbat
season of tbe year the trip is made; at

by rocks thousands of feet high, aod the
next you are abive the snow line, skirt

of the characteristics ot the Colorado

Geo, W. Hunt was In the city Wednesday,
having just returned from Pine Valley, Union
county, Oregon. He reports a very late spring
in the country traversed, the farmers having
only just commenced plowing. Also, that an
unusual depth of inow covers the mountains.
A great deal of rain has fallen In the valleys of
Eastern Oregon during the last two months,
but on the mountains it has been snow, thus
increasing the depth of what fell during the
winter. Mr. Hunt predicts very high water in
the Columbia basin when warm weather comes,

Union labor organizations are more active in
Portland at present than for many years past,
and a general move toward getting wages raised
is in progress. Carpenters, hardwood finishers,
mill men, cooks and waiters have revived their
old organizations, and are arranging to demand
better pay for their work. The carpenters
recently made a demand on contractors for an
Increase to take effect May 1st, but have ex
tended the time so that contractors could com
plete buildings now under construction, after
which the latter have agreed to establish a
schedule of 3 for nine hours work.
The Oolden Olant dredger, operating on
Snake river, near Nyesse, had a successful trial
run, probably Inaugurating an era of gold bar
mining on the Snake which will yield millions
aud give employment to thousands of men. In
a four days' run, ending on May 5th, the dredge
had 18 ounces of amalgum in the battery, worth
8 an ounce, and at least $800 more in the reser
voir, a total yield of HW, The dredge can
handle 2000 cubic yards of gravel and earth per
day, which at the low estimate of 8 cents per
cubic yard, will pay an excellent profit. Ex
perts have estimated that there are many
square miles of paying gold bars In the Snake.
Mortagos vs. Taxes.
Gen. W. H. OJell, clerk of tbe Oregon
board of state ecbool land commissioners,
bas glveu out lo tbe public tbe following
opinion prepared by tbe attorney gen
eral at tbe request of tba land depart
ment, "Dear Sir: Replying lo your question,
whether a mortgage that is older than a
lax levy will bold tbe land as against
tbe lazes:
"It is a general rule that taxea are not
a lien upon tbe property tbey are as
sessed against, unless expressedly made
so by statute, and in oase Ibey are
made a lieu by statute suoh liens, being
entirely creatures of tbe statute, will
not be enlarged by tbe construction, but
must be strlotly oonslrude.
"There la do direot provision in our
statute making taxea a lien on real
property, but our supreme oourl, ia tba
case ot Jorvy va Palace Dry Gooda Co..
(30 Or., 196) has held that tba effect ot
tbe provision of our statute ia to give
Iha purchaser at a tax aala a lien upon
tha property from the date of the pur-
chase. A lien of this ehsraeter moal
rank aooording to its date, and is in
ferior to liens ot prior date, unless a
peculiar or extraordinary force ia given
il by statute.
"Owing to the absence of an expreaa
proviaioo in our statutes, making laxea
a first or any lien upon real property,
and to tbe faot that no reasonable con
struction can be given these statutes
that will make a lieu auperlor to the
lien of a judgement areditor, mortgagee
or otber lien or, whose lieo waa obtained
prior to tbe tax levy, I am of tbs opinion
that a mortage upon real properly will
take precedence over a claim for taxes,
tbe levy ot whiob waa made after tba
mortgage w aa given, and especially ia
Ibia so in tbe oase of a mortgage to eeoure
funds belonging to tba state."
