President California College of Ostepathy HillsboroHeal Esla ENGLISH WALNUTS IN OREGON A PROFITABLE CROP TO CROW A Paper of Interest fey Brooke Sons. Easily Grown and Re turns Largo. ' Oregon has proven herself to be the ideal and natural home of the ICuglish walnut. Numerous trees from young ones to those of forty years old have been located, scat tered over a vast area of territory from Roseburg to the Columbia river and that lying between the Cascades and east range, also parts of Eastern Oregon. Walnut culture can practically be carried on sue cessfully in the whole Willamette valley by planting on rolling land, hillsides, bottom land, alongside roadways, around vineyards and large fields, in avenues and soils, not well adapted to other crops, but be careful and avoid shallow soil as the walnut is a deep rooter and requires good depth of soil When we say soil, we mean top sou, sudsou, dirt, ground, all is soil which is not rock or mineral. Some are confused as to oil, think ing we mean only top soil. All that is necessary is to have good depth of dirt. The roots will find their way down if it is not rock. Soil that contains gravel is all right and does not hurt it in the least, providing the gravel is not too large and too numerous to stop the roots from going down. We have seen walnut trees that have been bearing for years, located on low bottom land, not even tiled or drained, and have never as yet seen a tree materially injured by these wet conditions, but seem to thrive and produce fruit abundantly. It is found by ascertaining and locat ing soil conditions' where walnuts are now found to be growing and bearing that this most valuable tree is less susceptable to iniury by moisture than any other tree known. You can find walnuts planted on the flat land around McMinnville, Salem, Eugene, Portland and nu merous other places, and seemingly there is no other kinds of soil they could do better on, however bottom and gives some larger yield than hill land. We kuow of trees only eleven years old yielding over three bushels of nuts (about too pounds) and these trees did not have the proper care. A bearing orchard is worth about $300 per acre or more. Standard varieties must be planted; it is policy to mix the varieties as they act as fertilizers to one anoth er. Oregon grown walnuts are ol fine commercial value, being prac tically free from rancid, decayed meats. This country pays out about $10,000,000 00 for nuts grown in foreign countries. Walnut timber is worth $300 per thousand. Some thirty years ago a Mr. Wright planted forty acres in Southern Caltfornia, when the trees began crowding each other, he had every other one taken out and sold the lumber for $72,000, a great deal more than the lands first co3t with compound interest on all over twelve years. The orchard now yields a large income. Walnuts can be planted among hops about thirty feet apart, letting them run up to eight feet before pruning the tops. The great secret is planting them the right way. Walnut trees can be set any time in the fall until the first of April. Walnut trees have few cuemies owing to the nature and strong vitality ol the trees. Walnuts should bear in five or six years when properly at tended to. There is no better in vestment for future outlook than planting English walunt trees. There is much less expense attached to the culture of the walnut than any other class of trees known. Walnut trees are long lived. Low growing crops can be planted in walnut orchards the first few years which adds to the cultivation of the trees. Extracts How to Grow Walnuts, by Brooks & Son. Why not buy 11 F.II a toilet set? Mrs. rillsbury has them at all prices and in Winter Spray for San Jose Scale. This formula proved the most efficient last spring in destroying the San Jose scale: Twenty pounds of unslacked lime, 20 pounds of flour of sulphur, with 50 gallons of water. The most approved way of mixing the spray is to put the lime into a wooden or cast iron vessel then make the sulphur into a paste put it on top of lime and ad enough boiling water to slack the lime; then boil until the mixture takes on an amber hue. If salt is used, dissolve in hot water and ad to the mixture. The only ad van tage in the salt is that it helps kill the moss on the trees. This spray should be served not and well strained through a course cloth before putting it into the spray bar rel or tank. W. R. Harris, Fruit Inspector. A business woman always keeps a raw potato on her desk, and when asked why explained that she uses it to clean her pen. Just try it and you will find your favorite old pen almost like new. Julia Ward Howe has recently written an article entitled, "What Life Means to Me," and it is inter esting to know what life means at 80 years to a woman who wrote the battle hymn of the republic. Empress Charlotte, wife of the un happy Maximilian, shot iu Mexico forty odd years ago, is still living, but has long been confined to her home in Belgium, she having lost all memory of the world. The editor is on the sick list this week. While going to church Sun day evening he slipped on the icy sidewalk falling on his neck and shoulders, badly bruising his entire back and hips, says the Wallowa News. That's what an editor gets by going to church. Exchange. The celebrated Mme. Thiers' pearl necklace, which was part of the legacy left to the French repub lie by President Thiers, is said to be "dying" in the museum at the Louvre. It is well known that pearls will "die" that is, turn black if not often worn next to the skin. The necklace has 145 pearls and is valued at $60,000. A well-known artist was walking with a friend one day, when his companion suddenly discovered he had a tooth in bad condition. As the pair were passing a drug store, the man with the throbbing molar asked the other: "What would you advise for the toothache?" "Why," innocently replied the artist, "the last time I had the tooth ache I went home and my wife kissed it away." The friend paused a moment and then asked, ''Is your wife home now?" Exchange. It is one of the hardest tasks of man kind to select gifts for the loved ones at Christmas tide. Everyone has their in dividual tastes and a hint is generally ap preciated. There are many articles that one sees, but they are not always just the thing. It is in our line to not only supply the Christmas trade hut to offer any information that miitht be of value in your selection. Call and see what we have to offer before the stock is picked over. The Hillsboro Pharmacy. The best kind of starch to use for stiffening laces, handkerchiefs, washing silks or any other thin fab ric is made with gum arabic, says the Pictorial Review. To make it put an ounce of gum arabic into a bottle and pour over it a cup of cold water. Stand the bottle in a sauce pan of cold water and place it over the fire until it is dissolved. Then strain it through a fine sieve or a piece of cheesecloth into another bottle. When it is thoroughly cold add to it a gill of alcohol and it will be ready for use when needed. For dainty laces, half a tea spoonful of the starch mixed, with a small cup ful of cold water will give ample stiffness. Larger amounts should be added, according to the nature of the different fabrics. Ladies We have an elegant line of ladies' calling cards. These make a de sirable Christmas gift as they may be 'mailed at a distance without fear of crushibg. Special .prices during the ADVISES HOT TO GIVE A BONUS WILL BUILD THE LINE ANYWAY C. E. Loss & the People of Wssh. Ington County Some Good Ad vice, Which la Not Needed. The following is taken from the Portland Oregouian. The advice is good, but altogether unnecessary, for the people of Washington coun ty have been fed on hot air from electric line promoters until the limit has been reached. There is no doubt about the road being built "some time," but the party building will have to drop the hot air trolly and get down to business before he could get so much as a pleasant smile in this vicinity. The Oregonian says: "Give no bonus to a railway," Is the advice of C. K. Loss, owner of the United Railways, to the people of Washington county, who hare been called upon to give a bonus to the projected line of the Oregon Electric Company to Forest Grove, a distance of 22 miles from Bertha in Multnomah county. "It's not business for a railway to ask for a bonus these days," declared Mr. Loss yesterday, "and it's not business for the people to give it." "The United Railways is going to build to Forest drove without a bonus. I wouldn't ask for s subsidy, never did and never will." Mr. Loss said that the Oregon Electric Company is now going into Washington county with a line to shut out the Uni ted Railways. "But they won't shut us out," he ssnerted. "We'll fight 'em and parallel their tracks, even if they do get a $200,000 bonus, which would be a $10, 000 gilt for every mile of track. Whew I They must want tb people of Washing ton county to build their road." Mr. Loss promises to have soon the capital required for his road. lie says he will demonstrate to the people of Portland through documentary evidence ot stock subscripting and through the reputation of his stick subscribers that tbe road is to be fy.lt-The short six months remaining hr completion of the city lines docs not worry him, for lie says that long before that time the proofs of his enterprise wi3 lie before the peo ple of Portland, and it he shall need two or three months' eitenaion ot time he feels confident he cm get it. "Because," says ht, "Portland wants not so much the forfeiture of the 100,- 000 bond as the building of the lines," Mr. Loss does not take seriously the debt claims presented against his com pany by creditors and stockholders of the Oregon Traction Company, whose pro- octed Hillsboro line has been merged with the United Kail ays. But L, Y. Keady who is suing for sat isfaction of the stockholders' claims, thinks they are quits serious, and that Loss will find them so before he gets done "trying to keep our creditors and stockholders out of their rightful mon ey." Said Keady last night: "We have the best of wishes for Loss' success, not alone for his own benefit, but, what is more important to us, for payment of our claims. We are not try ing to embarrass Mr. Loss, but to get cash due us. Maybe Mr. Loss thinks that when his company agreed to pay the stockholders of the Oregon Traction Company between 40,000 and 150,000 nd the creditors f:iti,000, they have no ick coming when the? don't get their money. Mr. Uss wouiu nice to keep on paying us with promises, as he bas done for six months past, and his prede cessors for six months before that. It's getting close to Christmas now, and we need the money. "Besides these claims, Mr. McCusker nd I have a legitimate claim for person -1 services covering several months of :iard work, night and day, for which we have not received a dollar, yet which helped Mr. Loss secure the property be considers so valuable. I think well of Mr. Loss and know he is not entirely responsible for the present condition of affairs of the United KaiUavs, but as he a now the sole owner, we naturally look to him to make good the agreements of his company. "Every claim which I have filed is val id and somedixly w ill have to pay them with real money if not Mr. Lisa, then the original financiers of the United Rail ways. They've got to be cleaned up quick or a new sensation in the way of claims will be sprung next January. Never mind what it is; it will hit some body sure enough." The annual Christmas dance will be given in the opera house on Christmas night, December 25th. A five-piece or chestra will furnish the music and the management will do everything in their power to make this au enjoyable event Everybody is invited.

Wheat Rots on the Platforms. A Spokane, Wash , sicial, dated December 17th, says: That a mil lion bushels of wheat is leiog per mitted to rot on platforms at North ern Pacific stations in Central Washington because the railway officials refuse to permit the graiu to be loaded into empy cars which stand idle on the slidiugs was charged today by a committee re presenting the Central Washington grain dealers in a conference at the office of Superintendent Beamer, of the Northern Pacific. N. E. Hayes. Ned W. Munger, Simon McLean. J. S. Inkster and Richard Stevens constituted the committee. They contend that the claim of car shortage has been a mere pretex, manufactured by the railways to meet the complaints of those suffering the rigors of coal famine, of lumbermen, grain deal ers and Hour manutacturers. i E. Hayes was authority for the. statement at the meeting that 365 empty cars are now standing ou sidings between Pasco and Sprague, and that the railroads excuse for not filling them with graiu is that it has not the motive power to haul them. Members of the committee begged that they be permitted to transfer their grain sacks from the platforms to those cars for mere storage pur poses, as 20 per cent would thus be saved. They charge that the rail roads are in reality discriminating in favor of flour shipments, which pay better, and think it a signifi cant fact that the flour manufactur ers, who were invited to join them in the conference, failed to appear. Local officials asserted that the heavy demand tor cars to move the crop in the Dakotas was responsible for the local tie-up, but the grain dealers replied that the shipments nto Minneapolis from the Dakotas are lighter this year than last.

A pretty school-teacher in Ham mond, Ind., has lost her position because the superintendent does not believe that a school-teacher should attend dances and other entertain ments of the sort. It has always been a sort of unwritten law among school-teachers that such entertain ments should only be attended on Friday or Saturday nights, and if the young woman in question con formed to the law she is excusable, otherwise she should seek some other occupation, it there is such, where she can work hard all day and dissipate at night.
