Wednesday, Nov. 27, 1907. For one thing the interruption of the lumber business in the North west will have a tendency to check the cut of timber, which has been going on wastefully, and to carry over much timber to a time when it will be much more valuable. Waste of resources is one of our besetting American sius. We have extermi nated the seals; have almost de stroyed the salmon, and have wasted immense quantities of the timber already cut or culled over, and allowed other and greater bod ies of timber to be destroyed ut terly through carelessness in losing control of fire. Not until recently had we begun to realize how val uable our great stand of timber is. Most owners want to "realize" too quickly for their own good; or if not for their own good, certainly for that of the country. Now, if we can't sell, at least we may pause and reflect, add then, after a while, when we can resume, belike we may be prepared for the exercise of more care and conservatism; so that in cutting the timber we may be as saving as possible of it, and careful in the use of means for protection of the younger growths. It will be said, of course, that this will not be practicable, that it will not pay; that the logger must make all tke money he can; that he can't stop to protect the younger growths, when cutting and felling trees, or to keep fire from running over the ground. He can't, of course, or will not, if he has no thought of the future, and is merely working one of the many varieties of get-rich-quick schemes, with which the energy of the time teems and abounds. Yet it takes so long for timber to grow that it should cost everyone a pang to see young trees heedlessly peiish. It is one thing to clear the land for necessary crops. It always has been necessary to nacri6ca timber, in pnrtictilar localities to this end. So it is still. Hut it is another thing to destroy wholly the timber on land that never can bear crops. Such are the lands in most of our mountains and in many of our hil ly districts. To protect the timber from the waste thnt is destruction is one of the objects of the system ot forest reserves recently put into operation. There wns an empire of white pine timber about the Great Lakes and Upper Mississippi. The tim ber is gone, and most of the land on which it stood is practically use less for crops or cultivation. Mil lions of acres of these lands are now on delinquent tax lists. Proper care in cutting the timber would have preserved from destruction the smaller trees, which, in the hurry and slash of the lumbermen's movement were merely destroyed to get at the best. Reforestation, under proper care, would go on steadily, through processes of Na ture, as the larger trees are remov ed, if care were taken; but it is perhaps too much to expect there ever will be the needful care. I'tu vate owners seldom will ttuJy any thing but present gain. Hut uow, if oar people cannot get their lumber hauled wy, per force they will iave their timber. It will require some philosophy to obtain contentment out of such en forced economy, which our people will pray may end ns soon as possi ble. Yet it is not out of order to observe the fact that we are saving our timber when the railroads re fuse to haul it. If we can't mar ket our timber we can have it; and every year after this it will be worth more money than it is this year. Oregouian. A Few Words to the Fruit Growers of Lane County. The fruit crop of I907 has been gathered and with the exception of part of the apples, has been market ed at good prices. Let us now turn our attention to preparing for a larger crop and better quality of fruit for I908. Insect pests and fungous diseases have invaded our orchards and we must keep up a relentless war if we would eradicate them. The time is again at hand for pruning and spraying. There is scarcely an orchard that is not more or less infected with an thracnose or dead spot, and now is the time to spray to do the most ef fective work in destroying it. Use the Bordeaux mixture, if there is no scale. Where there is scale too, use the lime and sulphur as that will be effective in both cases. When trees are badly infested with the scale, they should be sprayed twice during the dormant season. For the benefit of those who do not understand how to use the prepared lime and sulphur spray, I will give the following for trees during the dormant season: To each gallon of lime sulphur solu tion add 9 gallons of water and to every 50 gallons of this solution add 5 or 6 pounds of good un- slacked lime. Slack the lime and strain before putting into the solu tion. This will give tbe apray more color, and the operator can more easily detect any part that may have been missed. Let me emphasize the necessity of thorough work. It has been my observation and my own experience that poor work is but little better than no work. I am much pleased w'fh the work that has been done during the short time of my duties as inspector. Many orchards have been cleaned up, pruned, sprayed and cultivated, and there is a marked improvement in condition of the orchards and quality ot fruit. There is yet room for much improvement and I would ask your co-operation in this work that we may accomplish what the law intended. VALUE OF LANE COUNTY FWIT FOR 1907. 1 hereby present a conservative estimate of the value of tbe fruit raised in this country for the past year. This does not include cider apples and much other fruit raised: Strawberries, 4,000 crates $ 4,000 Raspberries, 45 toriH "S,5K Loganberries, 3,000 crates 2,."00 Cherries, 2.10 tons 25,000 Pears' 110 tons 2,000 Prunes, dried, 1,300,000 pounds 00,000 Apple! 10,000 boxes 1(3,000 Total $113,000 This speaks well for the fruit in dustry, but it is scarcely a drop in the bucket to what could be raised.

OPTIMISM. An American Club Organized to Make People Smile. The Optimist Club of America has been organized at Salt Lake City, one it is purposed to have spread all over the country. livery city is invited to form a club. Pres ident Roosevelt has been made an honorary member. Here is the philosophy of it, something worth considering and imbibing. Let Cottage Grove people read it, emilo and keep smiling: God reigns, the Union still lives and the sun still shines, even though the clouds obscure it. There are more people dying lor the lack of a kind word, a pat ou the back and a little encouragement than there are from disease. A smile is potential, magnetic and dispels trouble. The man who never makes any mistakes never makes anything else. Hard luck stories are like overdue notes. "Go bury thy eorrows, the world hath its share". Just smile. Before monej was invented some people were happy. Shake hands as though you meant it, and smile. Nobody can compute the value of a smile; a frown has cost a king dom. Nobody can roally harm you but yourself. You are a real obligation to every man on earth. You can't put influence in a glass case. When in doubt take optimism. In darkness, in light, in sorrow, in blight, be an optimist ever, and things will come right. Optimism is the first-boru of hope, the mother of confidence, the executioner of adversity and the undertaker of pessimism. A frown is a renegade smile that is afraid to look himself in tho face. On the faces of the happy aged it is a well known fact that wrinkles are only the footprints of smiles. On the vehicle of modern pro gress the creak of the wheel is the pessimistic protest; a little optimis tic lubricant will silence both the creak and the croak. "The optimist wins." Depew. The greatest smiler is the greatest healer. "They that are whole need not a physician, but they tint are sick." A smile is God's own medicine. A grin is a counterfeited smile, and does not pass current because the heart stamp is not on it. Optimism and pessimism have fought many bloody battles; if op timism had not been a victor to date, hope would have died years ago. In the realm ot the birds the lark is tbe optimist, the crow is the pes-' simist. Why be a crow? The optimism of the optimist destroys the last hope of the pessi mist.

Kx. j Secret of Good Applet The soerot of growing, the good apples that are produced at Hood River says Hood River man Is In tho fact that Nature has endowct' the Hood River valley with a vol canic ash soil that contains all the elements necessary for growing per feet fruit. Added to this is a tem perature exactly suited to their propagation and last, but not least, methods employed that have been found to produce tho best results. prom fur and wide fruit men. rome from other districts to learn ef these methods, simple though they be, and easily learned by the novice. It has been found that tho apple grows best at Hood River under the clean cultivation system, which conserves tho moisture and allows nil the tiu trimont ot the soil to go into the making of both tree and fruit, Spraying, to kill all insect life thai is injurious to the growing of per feet apples, is rigidly adhered to, and so careful in this respect are orchardists here that less than 2 per cent of the entire crop is found to bo imperfect.
