berry did not prove nucceRHful hero In
the east, but la crown eominerclitlly In
California and la steadily Biilnlug favor
la Kutfluud, an It how a aiieeial adapt
ability to the climate. It Is becoihiug
a feature of tho auiunier fruit Hhown
over there. The defecta here are ten
derneaa of plaut aa regards winter ex
posure and limited productiveness,
probably owing to Injury of canes and
buds by cold. The fruits are kirgo and
attractive, but the plant Is rapidly go
ing out of cultivation east of the Kocky
mountains.
Now comes The Mnhdl, a novelty re
sultlng from crossing the raspberry
Belle de Foute'noy with the common
European bramble or running Mack
berry. It Is sattl to lie superior In flavor
to tho Logaulterry and perfectly hardy
In England. The figure shows the form
of the berries, which appear Uko very
large violet red bluoUherrles, but more
rounded in shape. The foliage la mid

uriant, while the plnuts nre rapid grow

August. These favorable rcMrt do
not necessarily Imply that Tho Malidl

European origin are able to withstand
our climate, concludes The Iturul New
Yorker, which Illustrates this new
fruit
Bar bank's gkaata, Daisy.
Perhaps tho most startling example
of great Increase In size In a hybrid
among Burbank's creations Is his Shas
ta daisy, says the New York Herald.
There is little doubt that this wonder
ful Uower will soon become one of the
most popular of our cultivated bios
soma. The Shasta Is a daisy with n
yellow center surrounded by several
rows of thick white petals. It mens
ures at leant four Inches In diameter
and stands upon a stem which Is lone
and thick. Uka that of the sunflower.
It ia described aa being a hardy flower
and a profuse bloomer and for this rea
son will become a favorite in modest
garden plots.
This daisy represents a single strain,
selected and improved out of thou
sands of hybrids produced. In mnklnc
It common daisy of the cast it was
first crossed by an English daisy. The
hybrid thus obtained was ngalu crossed
by a daisy from Jnpnu. In the same
way our orchids, roses, pnnsles and
chrysanthemums have been crossed
and recrossed until It Is frequently Im
possible to determine their origin, and
to this extensive hybridization we are
Indebted for almost all their beautiful
forma of today. Burbauk has lately
grown some remarkable forms of the
amaryllls which have not yet been In
troduced, lie has also a red California
poppy. -
Wlaal Damifi ia Shrubs and Plants.
Intelligent observers In this country
have found that the wind does more
damage In the winter than the cold.
Shrubs and plants that can ordinarily
withstand much chill may become win
ter killed when suffering only a moder
ate degree of cold If accompanied by
wind. Many wrap hay and burlap
around plants, but this does not always
keep out the wind. A modern Inven
tion consists of a wide board, sharp
ened and driven down beside the plant
on the aide toward the prevailing
winds, which in this country faces the
southwest. The branches are gathered
nd tied to the board. liny and burlap
can then be used In the customary way,
the board serving to strengthen the
Whole as well as to protect from the
wind. It la well to let the hay come
well out up the ground around the base,
since this grves great protection to the
roots of the plants, concludes Denver
field and Farm.
Hasabrrrr Rashes la Vl'intrr.
Itaspberrles winter best In some
parts of the country when the tips of
the canes are covered with earth nnd
rooted fast. This establishes ground
connections with many of the canes
that would otherwise evaporate the
moisture from the plants and reduce
Vitality. The s,ine Is true of grape
vine. Wlater Pranlait af Small Fralt.
In small fruits the old bearing wood
of the past stason can be cut out any
time during the winter, but It Is best
to defer pruning the young canes until
IM iaai pan 01 aiarcn anu April.
CHESTNUT CULTURE.
Baa aaaas Witt Stahva afeaVrntara
of thi laduMrr t KMirltla.
The fact that tho large chestnuts like
the Japan. I'nragon and others aro not
luoro plentiful In the city markets Is
explained In fiurnl New Yorker by
I'eunsylvauiii growers us proltuhly due
to several causes. Tho grafted tree
have been and nre still comparatively
hltfh priced and somewhat uncertain to
grow when transplanted. They seem
to be more particular as to soli than
most trees, (irowers hesitato to plant
largely for these rial sons. Another ren
son why the nuts are not more plenti
ful Is that the trees grow slowly, and
the grower must wnlt quite awhile bo.
fore paying crops can be gathered. It
requires quite a good sized tree to pro
duce a buslu 1 or ei 11 half a bushel of
nuts.
The best method of gettlnfj a paying
orchard norms to be to graft chestnut
sprouts, ns the trees grow much more
rapidly and produce paying crops soon
er. The method has Its drawbacks, too,
as considerable cash must be paid out
for keeping linderbriinh down. We
know of several large tracts on this
plan, but they have nil been started
within the Inst six or seven years, and
only tho oldest of them are Is-arlng
anything like n crop. In our opinion It
will be several years before tho market
Is well supplied. If they could bo
grown as easily ns Klelfer pears, the
market would sonu be overstocked.
Another drawback to chestnut grow
ing Is tho weevil, and it will be a draw
back until some effective method of de
stroying the !sect Is f?und. The grubs
In the uuts can be destroyed by fumi
gating with enrlum bisulphide, but as
Bomr. escajie from the nut before It
drops thero are nlw'nys enough left for
seed.
Tho orchards started on sprout land
nre generally contiguous to chestnut
timber, where the lsctles multiply nnd
cosily find 1 heir way to the grafted
trees. We nre not prepared to nay
whether chestnut growing will lie a
profitable Industry for this country or
not. It will require some time, we
thiuk, to solvo that problem.

rrofessor Fred Card's experience Is
that, takii'jr nil things together, noth
ing seems to be bettt r for covering the
wounds made In pruning than common
lead paint, which Is closely followed
by grafting w ax. The wax Is superior
to paint In the matter of healing, but
docs not hist as well nnd Is not so con
venient to apply, although In warm
weather, when It works well, there is
little troublo in this regard. Conl tar
Is useful in preventing the wood from
checking, but appears to bo n positive
hindrance to healing, so that In spite of
the fact that Is stays well there Is little
to recommend It. Pine tar Is no aid to
healing, being apparently a trifle detri
mental, while It helps only slightly in
the mnttcr of checking and does not
last well, therefore It has nothing to
recommend It. Shellac Is a failure. It
does not Inst, nnd neither aids the
wound lu healing nor to any appreci
able extent prevents It from check
ing.

MX J IK VIVEK iXI'I.OUlU.
The flrrt time in its history Kogue
Kiver lias been surveyed and ex
ploied from source to nioutb, and as
a rtult of this exploration many
new and remarkable things have
been brought to light. V. V: llunt
er, a Southern Oregon civil engineer
and draughtsman, wih detailed Ut
rail to make a correct map
of llcue llivcr from end to end
Mr. Hunter, with an assistant, start
ed out with a small bout, and after
many days of hard work and after
piiinf? safely through many Uuu
rs, the entire tiip waa made, Mr,
Hunter has the distinction of hot up
the (lrt man to traverse the entire
length of the Hoyuc.
Through the work of Mr. Hunter,
Oregon iiiapiiiHliers nro given
data for future publication ho far aa
tho llngue Kiver and its Immediate
territory is concerned. Jt haa been
found that the only crpendiculsr
falls on (ho river are near Mount
Reulien, northern Josephine county.
At tills point the water makes
perpendicular full of VI feet. The
narrowest place in tho Rogufl la 10
miles ntiovu the junction of the river
with Mule Creek, or near the divid
ing line between Josephine and Cur
ry counties, where tiie stream nar
rows down between ' perpendicular
walls until its width la only 15 feet.
At Horseshoe Rend, which dues not
sliow on any previous map, the river
makes a loop, which, though a mile
around by way of the river, is only a
stone's throw Hrrosa
The greatest wonder of th Ilogue,
and it is doubtful if in this particular
IcHiure it can Is- siirpictscd by any
otln r river in tho worh,, is 'the deep
canyon of the Devil's N'aira. Here
tho river burrows to about 30 feet
and passes . between perwndicular
walls of stone 01)00 feet in height.
So dm k and deep Is this narrow pass
aye that a ier.-oii in a laiat and on
the water ran by looking to the sky
see the stats any time of day and aa
clearly ns at midnight.
Mr. Hunter exphicd 40 wiles of
the river that has never been ex
plored before; and in these 40 miles
are found tho grandest, the moat
pit'turoque scenery to be found on
the t-tf Hin. 'I he river nearly its en
tile length past.! ihrouh a rugged
solitude, the only exception is the
valley of the llogue and the lower
portion of the at ream. In traveling
the 40 111 ilea Mr. Hunter found six
people; theso were all miners crad
ling out the previous yellow from the
gravel in the old-fashioned way.

It is soon thing new for thia mod
est little republics to find herself so
aasiduotisly courted by the powers of
Kuropo as is her experience lust now.
Indeed, such n thing would be novel
for any country. It 1 not often that
diplomacy so frankly reveals th-? de
sirabillty of a puiticnlar nation's
friendship. Up to four years ago
there appeared nothing of this warm
desire in Europe to compete for our
favor. When wo ' expressed our
views to England on the subject of
Venezuela, tho response could not lie
called cousinly. The French had a
number of things to say about us on
(lie subject of Mexico and Panama.
The (ierumns were cot tender of our
feelings when they discussed Htimoa
and the American hog.
When the Spanish war broke out
almost the inly kind words we
had anywhere came from England.
Most of tho Continental powers
seemed content to let the English
have the monopoly of American
friendship.
Now the Kussian ambassador at
Washington says that Ilussia waa
oil. true friend during the Spanish
war. M. Hanotnux, who waa the
French minister of Foreign affairs at
that time, asserts that Uu-wia and
France broke up a hostile combina
tion agninst u- which would have In
cluded England. A member of the
British ministry olllcinlly stales In
the house of commons that the con
tinental powers deputed Austria to
propose a joint interference in the war
nd that the scheme waa aide-track-e
l by England. This statement is
Immediately denied hy the Oeruian
foreign (filee, which olllcialiy de
clares "lhas Germany, neither lajfore
the outbreak ol the Spanish war nor
during its course, rooed Interven
tion to other I'ower; neither did
Germany suport such proosition
made by any other power.w
Tha Oermany ambassador at
Washington, after visit to Ile-lin,
smashes diplomatic traditions by
publishing an authorized interview,
in which bo states that Germany
baa do intention of acquiring even
coaling station In the Western Hem
isphere. The German government
takes palus to make it known that
any action it may tafca in Veuezuela
Is to be taken after full eousulwt ion
with the United States and will be
governed by scrupulous regard for
American policies and American
ausceptibllltl.'s.
The German emporer invites Prea
deut Roosevelt's daughter to christen

a full oulflt of bilver spoons from the
imperial butler's pantry to gjaca the
occasion.
Such assiduous attentions are cal
culated to turn tho head of any
nation. It would be hard to find
their parallel In the history of di
plomacy. It la fortunate for us that
such intoxicating Incitements to van.
ity are held in check by our native
modesty. Saturday Evening Post.

Judge R. P. Boise was to Astoria
a few days ago. The Astorian has
this paragraph of his visit:
Judge R. P. Boise, ol the Fourth
judicial district, comprising Marion,
Yamhill, Linn and Tillamook coun.
tics, was in the city yesterday.
Judge Boise is about 80 years or age
and enjoys the distinction or being
the oldest circuit judge in this state.
He has been on the bench for SO
years and Is renowned for his abso
lute fairness. Judge Boise visited
Judge McBride yesterday, and the
Jurists engaged In a conversation
atxiut the action of Juror Bowers in
leaving the jury room during con.
sideration of the Scott case. Judge
Dulse became reminiscent and ie
lated a good joke on himself. He
said he onra surrendered his court
room for the accommodation or a
jury. During the consideration or
the case one of the jurors threw a
string out or the window and an ac
comruodaling friend below tied to it
a bottle of whisky. The facts be
came known and the case was or
dered tried ovor again. Judge Boise
was anxious to make a lull investi
gation and called the jurors in and
placed the in on the stand. One old
juror was asked to tell what he
knew about the affair, and this was
his story: "I did not know that the
whisky had been brought In'o the
court room until Juror Bill Smith
went np to the Judge's desk, got the
bottle, and, extracting the cork, said:
'Boys, let's all have a drink of
Judge Dulse's best!' The Juror who
secured the liquor had, uubeknown
to his fellow jurors, placed it In the
desk. Judge Boise relates that the
Incident was a standing Joke on him
for many years. The action of a
juror in leaving the Jury room is a
very serious matter, as the bailiff is
sworn to keep the men together. In
one rase the bailiff, disregarding his
oath, accompanied a, Juror to the
bedside of his dying child. The
rather was gone from the Jury room
but 20 miuutes and spoke to no
other person txeept the bailiff and
the child. The court set aside the
verdict reached by tho Jury and the
case was ordered retried. It Is a
point, however, In which there Is
great conflict among judges,

a position to know that the output i f
placer gold from Josephine couo'y
for thia season, In spite or the lon,,
delay or rains, will be as great if not
greater than in any season of ti

seasons past. The continued hesvy
rains are giving all of the minor
placers an opportunity to work. The
"Dry Gulch" mines that have bi-eo
eompartlvely idle for several season-,
