Thk Uteboni of horticulture is do
in(t a jjood service to the fruit urowore of
Oregon by its intelligent and K-ientitic
methods in mioceesfully attacking the
numerous pests which have become o
eerioue a menace to fruit culture in thU
state. Very encouraging reports come
from localities where the directions of
the board have been carefully and sys
tematically carried out. The orchard
show a marked increase in rich nee of
foliage and quality of fruit, superior
both in sue and flavor. This reclama
tion is particularly notit-able in old
aroliards where the new methods have
been intelligently and vigorously ap
plied. Of course, it will take years for
our fruit-growers to restore Oregon ap
ples and pears to the market prestige
which these fruits held twenty-five years
ago, but careful pruning, spraying and
cultivation will doit. Old diseased
trees must be dug up and burned, de
cayed limbs lopped off and the body of
the trees protected from scale and other
parasites. Fruit culture is one of the
coming industries of this country, the
demand is growing year by year, and
few countries are better adapted to the
cultivation of deciduous truits than the
Willamette valley. The people of this
young commonwealth poorly compre
hend the phenomeual resources of the
wonderful country which it has been
their good fortune to inhabit.

In speaking of Mr. Cleveland being a
possible third term candidate, Ex-Secretary
Whitney says : "I think a ma
ioritv of the democratic voters of the
country would tell you they preferred
Cleveland to any other man." On the
other hand, Henri Watterson is of the
opinion that '"if by any concatenation of
miracles Mr. Cleveland should be the

Miss lVlser, of Albany, is thojeaJas j,e thought, the same reply.
Thr lost art ot welding copper to iron
or steel is claimed to have been recently
re-discovered bv three expert steel work
er in Pittsbnrg, Pa, This art was
known to the ancients, but its redis
covery has hitherto baffled the inventive
genius of the marvelous age that has
produced a Fulton, Stevenson, Morse
and Edison. The last record history
gives of these metals having been weld
ed was in the year 500 B. C. The dis
covery is said to be a most valuable one
to commerce and naval architecture in
the fact that copper offers greater resist
ance to the action of salt water than any
other metal. It is said the Carnegie
Couijiany Laa offered the discoverers,
Meesrs. Crowley, Shayand and Ryan, a
fixed price for the eecret. Some inter
esting experiments are now being made
at the Homestead Steel Worke, and the
testa so far have proven most satisfactory.
The Carnegie Company hope to be able
to cover all armor plates for the big bat
tleships with this metal.
Thk memory of the "oldest settler" is
possibly as retentive ad the average of
his youmser neighbors, hut when he
stands up in company and confidently
affirms that "this is the smokiest sum
mer ever known in Oregon," the old
gentleman's memory is probably at
fault, not his veracity. It is so eay to
fowl a past discomfort when confronted
with a similar present inconvenience.
Om neighboring state over to the
north steps right up to the front with a
first class allround lynching at which
two brutal ruffians were swung to the
hospitable limb of a silver poplar with
"a short shift and without benefit of
clergy," but our own Webfoot state still
leads when it comes to the "lone high
wayman" racket. In these dull times
Oregon cannot afford to part with her
only visible means of gaining notoriety.
Oxk way to reduce taxation is to abol
ish the useless commissions. The peo
ple called for this needed reform last
year, but the ears of the newly elected
iaw-makers were draf to their appeal.
Xext year the people will again be heard
from, and that too with no uncertain
sound. There should be less spouting
and more genuine, honest work in the
halls of the state capitol. The people
should send sincere, earnest men to the
legislature, not a lot of noisy fellows who
do nothing only spout great monthfuls
of wind.
Tn dense smoke that haa filled the
air in this region for t he patt two weeks
comes largely from the destructive forest
fires over in Western Washington, where
millions of feet of valuable timber have
been destroyed, and the homes of many
settlers laid waste. The mountainous
region west of Forest Grove is also on
fire and a great deal of valuable timber
has been destroyed. It is unfortunate
that the law against setting timber on
fire cannot be more rigorously enforced.
At the rate that forest fires have been
spreading for the past few years the
timber resources of Oregon and Wash
ington will soon be seriously crippled.
Something should be done to put a stop
to such criminal and wholesale vandalism.
Now that the Willamette valley is on
the eve of a new railroad era, why not
push the motor railway from Independ
ence to Salem to the front? The time is
certainly opportune. There is an abund
ance of idle capital seeking profitable in
vestment and idle lalwr awaiting em
ployment. Material was never cheaper
and the railway could be built for less
money now than ever before. If the
right parties, those mostly interested In
the movement, would only take an ac
tive interest in the matter the road
could be constructed within two years.
"Who is the man to set the wheels in mo

Thk "lone highwayman" is becoming
a nuisance to stage traffic in remote sec
tions of the state where the thick woods
afford safe asylum to these modern de
generate Dick Turpins. Only the other
day, the Coos bay stage, with one manly
lady and several womanish gentlemen
passengers on board, was held-up by a
tramp foot-pad. vxistumea in mue
drilling overalls, a yellow oil coat and a
woolen mask made from the leg of a dis
carded nether garment Of course the
bold fellow held an old horse pistol in
one hand and a crooked stick in the
other, and in a scared sepulchral voice
called out; "Hold np! hold upl" The
frightened driver held-up, and the pas
sengers, the lady excepted, delivered
over a few paltry 55 cent silver dollars.
'Tis a pity that a man with some nerve
and a gun doesn't happen to be aboard
the stage at one of these regulation hold
ups. There would at least, be one "lone
highwayman" less to torment the travel
ing public, and, perhaps, the nervous
system of the average male passenger
would receive a healthy toning up.

DALLAS.
AN OLD MISSIONARY.
Recent statistics received at the In
dian bureau show that "the untutored
savage" ia beginning to assimilate many
of the habits and customs of civilization.
There are 30,000 Indians in the United
Htates engaged in farming, stockraising
and other civilized pureuits. During
the year they raised over 1,317,000 bush
els of corn and other grains, and veg
etables In proportion. They own 206,
000 head of cattle and 1,284,000 sheep.
About 20,000 Indians voted at the last
election, and it is estimated that .30,000
lire church members, 189,000 are aglf
upporting, and 35,000 pay taxes.
A card from his son brings to the
Salem Statesman news of the death at
Hennessy, Oklahoma Ter., July 22,
1S95, of Rev. Daniel Lee, who lived in
Oregon from 1834 to 1844. He came to
this coast in 1834 as a missionary com
pany with his uncle, Rev. Jason Lee,
and was an earnest, faithful, Metho
dist. He was born in Stavstead, Can
ada East, July 1, 1806, and was S9
years, 21 days old when he died. Ills
son, Albert B. Lee, writes that "his
many frieDds will not be suprised that
he died in the triu trips of Christian
faith."
THE COUNTRY EDITOR
The contrast between the assessment
valuation of property throughout the
Northwest during the boom era of few
years ago and the present valuation is
shown by the following etatement in
Friday's Oregonian : The taxable prop
erty of Spokane, that was carried on the
assessment ro,lg to tlje dizly height of
$(V),00'j,000 a few wars ago, is now fixed
at $1527,794 for the citv, and 21,732,
053 for the city and county.

The Country Editor i all right.
When it comes to law and order, and
official probity as against vice and
official corruption, you always know
where to find th country editor. His
hand is raised against the thief, the
gambler and the thug. He may not
always represent the polished produet
of scholastic training, but he is usually
the wielder of vigorous English, and he
knows enough to know that civic de
cency, social purity, and official incor
ruptibility are necessary elements of a
sound body politic.
And more than all that, the country
editor generally has the courage of his
convictions. He is a forceful person
ality in the cemm unity in which be
lives. He cannot afford to prostitute
his honorable calling to condone any
infraction of public morals or palliate
any violation or omciai trust, jus
self-respect and the good esteem of his
clientele are valuable assets of his business.

HEART DISEASE!
Fluttering, No Appetite, Could Not
Sleep, Wind on Stomach.
Tor a long time I had a terrible
pain at my heart, which fluttered al
most incessantly. I had no appetite
and could not sleep. I would be com
pelled to sit up in bed and belch gas
from my stomach until I thought
that every minute would be my last.
There was a feelling of oppression
about my heart, and I was afraid to
draw a full breath. I could not sweep
a room without resting. My hus
band induced me to try
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
and am happy to say it has cured
me. I now have a splendid appetite
and sleep well. Its effect was truly
marvelous."

Mr Moran learned that ho tuul
made a mistake, as no horsetliief
had been arrested there. Our con
stable is quick willed, having Celtic
Mood in his veins, a'ul he at once
concluded that Newferg must be
the place. Returning to Corvallis
he telegraphed to Newberg and as
certained that the man was held
there. Of course, the way to get
his man, now that he had located
him, was to go for him, which
Constable Moran proceeded to do
as fust as the Southern Pacific pas
senger train could hurry him
northward.
The constable and Mr. Thorp
reached Newlnrg late Tuesday
afternoon, Mr. Moran and the. pris
oner returning to Independence on
Wednesday forenoon's train, Mr.
Thorp arriving about the tniddlo of
the afternoon, he having drove the
horse and buggy ' over from New
berg. A preliminary examination wa
held before Justice Irvine at 4
o'clock in the afternoon. The pris
oner gave his name as George F.
Christcnson. Unadmitted having
the. horse and buggy in his pos
session, but denied stealing them,
lie told a very fishy story, saying
that he had traded for the outfit,
giving two horses in exchange
therefor. He said that he had
worked and got one of the horses
and won the other at draw poker.
While on the witness Btand the
prisoner admitted to having served
two terms in the penitentiary.
Justice Irvine held the prisoner
over in bonds of $500 to appear he
fore the grand jury, and in default
of bail he was committed to the
county jail.
Christcnson is about 30 years of
age, and is a tough looking charac
ter. He does not appear bright,
and seeins to be pleased that ho
has bo good a chance to get back
into the pen. It is current street
talk that he has relatives living
near Newberg who are people of
reputable character. He claims to
have been brought up in that vicinity.
