Notice to Candidates The Observer office is printing Candidates' Petitions for Nomination and ia prepared to furnish them in any quantity desired. This office makes a specialty of accuracy in legal printing, and candidates will find the petitions supplied by us to be careful ly prepared in strict confoimity to the provisions of the new Direct Primary Law. As the time for circulating these petitions is now at hand, we re gpectfully solicit the orders of all citizens who intend to become candi dates for office at the approaching primary. By printing a large nura ber of these petitions, suitable to the use of any candidate of any political party, we are able to furnish them at the most reasonable rates. Let those Oregon newspapers that supported the Initiative and Referen dum amendment explain to the people how complications may be avoided if two or three laws bearing on the same subject, and each in direct conflict with the other, shall he adopted at the June election. There are now pending for the consideration of the voters two tax bills, two special car bills, and two state printing offlco amendments. Under the initiative plan, it will be possible for all these measures to be adopted, and, becoming laws at the same time, there will be no way to de termine which must be observed. A striking Instance of direct conflict is found in the proposed amendments to regulate and control the office of State Printer. One amendment provides that the Legislature may let the print ing out by contract to the lowest bid der, and the other requires that the printing shall be done In Salem In an office to be owned by the State. Under the initiative, it will he possible for both of these measures to be adopted next June and that's about what will Happen. Then, where will the State "be at?" Let some good populistic Republican or Democrat who helped to fasten this new-fangled law on the State arise and explain to the people how this undesirable condition of affairs may bo avoided. Please, don't all speak at once! If "the people" demanded the direct primary law so strenuously, and wanted the opportunity to take the power of nominating their owu offi cers, instead of lotting the villainous and unscrupulous bosses do it for them, why is it the primary law press has to keep urging the peoplo to regis ter in order that they may vote at the primaries? One would have thought this unnecessary. It can't possibly be that the peoplo simply voted for the law bocauso it was on the ballot, and that the noise mistaken for the peo ple's voice was like the lone coyote on the plain ; one misleading the listener Into thinking thero were a thousand. From the newspapers of the entire state comes a constant scream to the people to register. Salem Statesman. ERNEST GAMBLE COMING Great Basso and His Company Will Give Concert in Dallas, February 21. The greatest musical treat ever offered to a Dallas audience will be given in the Woodman Hall, on the evening of February 22, by the Ernest Gamble Company. This great cod cert company, fresh from its triumphal tour of the Eastern states, comes to the Coast for a limited number of con certs in the large cities, and, having two ojien dates in Oregon, was induced to appear in Dallas by the offer of a liberal cash guarantee. The company consists of three finished artists: Mr. Ernest Gamble, basso; Miss Verua Leone Page, vio- liniste, and Mr. Sam Lamberson, pianist. Eight years ago, Ernest Gamble, an unknown young man just out of his teens, sang a solo at one of the con certs of the New York Chautauqua which set the great audience wild with enthusiasm. Today the best musicians in America and Europe unite in plac ing him at the very bead of American bassos. He has appeared in concert work in New York with Mme. Nordica ; Ysaye and Remenyi, the violinists; Gerardy, the greatest living cellist, and other artists of international fame. Miss Verna Leone Page, the violin- iste, is a pupil of Max Bendix, Jacob sohn, and the great master, Karl Halir, of Berlin. DuriDg her initial season before the public, Miss Page played in 125 concerts in 24 states, her tour exteuding from Massachusetts to California. The playing of Mr. Lamberson, the pianist, has won the praise of critics everywhere. These three artists make up one of the strongest musical com binations before the American public, and the people of Dallas are to be congratulated thatcircumstances have made it possible to secure them for an evening in this city.

SMITII, County Clerk, i BEST SPRAY FOR TREES The proper time to spray for San Jose scale, green and wooly aphis, dead spot, apple and penr scab, twig borers, moss, and peach curl leaf is from now until the loaves come out on the trees. The best fungus and insect spray is lime, sulphur and copper sulphate. SPRAY NO. 11. Spray No. 2 is made of 50 pounds of lime, 50 pounds of sulphur, and 10 pounds of blue vitriol. Shake the lime thoroughly, add the sulphur and blue vitriol and 8 to 10 gallons of water, and boil from 2 to 3 hours. Put the solution into 150 gallons of water and strain through a coarse cloth into the spraying barrel. One third of this amount will make 50 gallons of spraying material. Inspector Nunn advises the keeping of these formulas for future use. When the time comes to spray for the codling moth, he will let it be known through the county papers what spray to use. To get best results, the trees must be well pruned and the limbs so thinned that the mixture will reach every part of the tree. j Let us spray." Hay For Sale.
