Belt&Cherrinrtn- That the farmers of Polk county are thoroughly aroused to the necessity of making war upon the fruit tree pests was demonstrated by the large attend ance at the fruit growers' meetings held in Dallas and Independence last week. The meeting at the county seat on Thursday was attended by about 75 orchardists. and equal interest was shown in the Independence meeting on Friday. Prof. A. B. Cordley, of Corvallis, who has attended fruit growers' conventions in all parts of the Northwest, was present at both meetings and was highly pleased with the interest taken by the farmers of Polk county in ridding their orchards of destructive pests. Professor Cordley's talks on "Fruit Tree Pests," were entertaining and in structive and will result in great good to the fruit growers. Each talk was followed by an informal discussion, and the growers were told how to rid their orchards of San Jose scale, wooly aphis, canker spot, and other pests and diseases. Tree limbs afflicted with disease were shown, and proved a valuable help in illustrating these talks. The chief enemy of the fruit grower in Polk county, as elsewhere in the Willamette Valley, is the San Jose scale. This destructive insect fastens itself upon the bark, and, if permitted to remain, soon sucks the life from the tree. Professor Cordley says that some of the orchards around Cor vallis are so badly infected that they will not last five years unless the necessary steps are taken to rid them of this pest. He has no doubt but that many Polk county orchards are in a similar condition. J. B. Nunn, Fruit Inspector for Polk county, who was the moving spirit in bringing about these meet ings, explained the horticultural laws of the state in a very thorough man ner, and told of the results of his visits to many orchards in the county. He said that he had found the condition of the trees even worse than he had anticipated in many instances.cherry, apple and prune trees all being badly affected. He expressed a willingness to visit the orchards of the county at any time and tell the farmers how to rid their trees of the various pests. It has been practically demonstrated that the fruit growers of Polk county are not only willing, but anxious, to improve conditions in their respective orchards, and that they are only wait ing to be instructed as to the proper method of procedure. This desire for co-operation is highly gratifying to Inspector Nunn, and he will under take to answer every request for infor mation and to visit the various infected orchards in person whenever called upon to do so. County Clerk and Mrs. E. M. Smith spent Christmas with relatives in Salem. Consumption Chamfcerlaln's Ccugh Remedy Cmre. Colds, Croup Vt&W Co. There is no specific for consumption. Fresh air, ex ercise, nourishing food and Scott's Emulsion will come pretty near curing it, if there is anything to build on. Mil lions of people throughout the world are living and in good health on one lung. If From time immemorial the doctors prescribed cod liver oil for consumption. Of course the patient could not take it in its old form, hence it did very little good. They can take SCOTT'S EMULSION and tolerate it for a long time. There is no oil, not excepting butter, so easily digested and absorbed by th system as cod liver oil in the form of Scott's Emulsion, and that is the reason it is so helpful in consumption where its use must be continuous.

They will make their home at ffand Lake. Tillamook Headlight One Less Coyote. Dr. H. E. Kelty, the dentist, spent Christmas with his parents near Mc Coy, in Polk county, and enjoyed a couple of days hunt in the bargain. He goes after big game, as well as small, and one of his victims was a coyote, which was out prowling on the Polk county hills in search of a juicy Christmas diouer. The doctor is uncertain about the game laws, -and last evening was avoiding the peace offleers for fear of arrest for killing a public nuisance. Salem Statesman. Hon. Walter L. Tooze, of Woodburn, candidate for congressman in the First district, has announced his plat form, on which he will make the race for the nomination, in the following clear-cut statement. "It Is unnecessary for a lifeloug republican who has always supported the principles and nominees of the republican party to do more than re affirm his belief in sound finance, the doctrine of protection and other cardi nal principles of republicanism. How ever, there are some questions to which a candidate for congress should give special attention. '"I recognize the vital importance and great necessity for deepening the channel of the Columbia river and the improvement of its harbor, so that its ports shall possess the same com mercial advantages as are now en joyed by Puget Sound cities. The same class of vessels should be able tq ship cargoes from Portland that now enter Seattle and Taeoma. I would firmly stand for the necessary federal appropriation for the accomp lishment of this great undertaking and for the early completion of the Celilo canal. "As congressman from the First district, I would also deem it my duty to secure appropriations for a deep-sea harbor at Coos bay which shall be second to none on the Pacifio coast, and for the further improvement of Yaqiiina bay and other west coast harbors. Every one of them is vitally important to the people of the rich and productive territory tributary to them. The opening of these harbors will benefit the producers of the in terior by affording them competitive markets for their produce. "The farmers of the Willamette valley are paying a yearly tribute of more than $100,000 as lockage cbargeB at Oregon City. This obstruction to the free commerce of a national high way should be removed without further delay. Therefore, the purchase of the Oregon Oity locks by the government is a matter of great importance, and my best energies would be devoted to secure this necessary legislation de manded by the people of the state. "Oregon has need of large numbers of the better class of immigrants, but, for the direct protection of the laborers of our country, I am unalterably op posed to the influx of Chinese and Japanese coolie laborers into this country, and I would favor the most stringent laws to secure their total ex clusion, and to protect American labor, both organized and unorganized, from any degrading competition whatso ever, ur every dollar paid to tne Chinese and Japanese laborers, more than 75 per cent is exported to Asia and is lost to the commercial lifeblood of our citizens. "I favor giving the interstate com tiierce commission power to remedy any existing abuses and injustices in freight rates to shippers growing out of discriminations and rebates. All public officials should be prohibited by law, both state and national, from receiving or using passes, franks or free transportation. "The free rural delivery carriers of our country do not now receive salaries commensurate with the arduous and responsible duties performed by them. I would stand firmly for the enact ment of tho Fairbanks bill, which is desired by and has the endorsement of the National Rural Letter Carriers' Association. It is my judgment that further relief should be given rural carriers by granting to thorn an allowance of $250 per annum for horse hire, which will place them on an equal basis with mounted letter carriers In the large cities of tho United States. "I am strongly In favor of the enact ment of such laws as would give to the railroad employes of this country adoquato protection to their lives while engaged In this hazardous occupation, and to limit their hours of labor while engaged In such service. "I believe in the payment of liberal pensions to American soldiers and sailors, and the enactment of such laws as will grant to the Indian war veterans the same pensions and pub lic land rights now accorded by law to Civil war veterans. "I stand for the enactment of laws that shall afford national aid to the improvement of our public highways. "The irrigation projects of this dis trictandof Eastern Oregon demand and deserve especial consideration and support. Their prompt and suc cessful completion means the addition of untold wealth to our people, and tho rapid development of a large area of the state now unproductive. My ef forts would be fearless in my advocacy of the necessity for generous aid from the government "All the provisions of the direct pri mary law will receive my support "The people of Oregon should re ceive a larger share of the contracts for furnishing the government with supplies, a business that has almost been monopolized by Puget Sound cities, to the exclusion of Oregon pro ducers and Portland merchants. If nominated and elected I shall keep this constantly in view. "My position on all matters affecting the industrial and commercial inter ests of the state embraces an active, aggressive and unwavering desire to serve faithfully and efficiently all sec tions of the state, and to aid to the fullest extent of my powers in the pro motion of our enormous undeveloped resources throughout the state of Ore gon. WALTER L. TOOZE." Percival-McReynolds. Sydney D. Percival, of Madras, and Miss A. Schell McReynolds, of Bend, were married at the latter place, on last Tuesday morning, only the family of the bride and a few friends at Bend being present to witness the happy event which was solemnized by Justice M. Lawrence. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. M. McReynolds, pioneer citizens of Bend, and who wore residents of Umatilla county before going there.

Teller spoke and said: "I cannot bring myself to agree with the court which convicted him. His long life and honorable service in this body I put against the testimony of self-confessed thieves and perjurers." He cited the fact that Mitchell died almost a pauper.
