The Oregonliin of the 7th Instant ban a hhort editorial on what It styles "The Land Gamble," which ban condensed Into It a whole lot of truth which nhou!d go home to the S'-cretary of the Interior and cause him to blush with honest shame for bis administration. H U seldom we ' have' had the privilege of seeing In so Hhort a space so much that Is absol utely worthy ol a gnat, newspaper. While eveiy word of this rrlticl.-un Is true, P. iloi s not contain all the objections that can be made against this My!" ol' lolti i.v. Iln is the edi torial: "The great National land lottery condiK l d by I Ik- government In Montana, Washington mid Idaho has brol.' ii all record:! for affairs of the kind. In the number of victims It liinhes a fairly cod showing In com parison wllh the late Louisiana lot tery. "That the ( bailees of the victims for drawing any hind of a prize were much greater tn the Louisiana lot tery Is easily apparent when It Is stated that ouh one out of 100 of the applicants stands any show to draw a claim. One of the notaries who look depositions of the appli cants made nearly $:1000. and others made us high as $i:!r per day. The railroads tcieved mi Immense sum In fares, and the hotels, lodging houses and pick pocket also profit ed great ly by t be rush. "Sonic of the victims can stand the loss which they have been obliged to incur, but among them nre thousands of poor people wlio can ill afford to lose the nioni y Hpent on this greatest of modern lotteries. If there Is any thing in connection with the whole affair that Is creditable to the gov ernment, It has not yet been made public." Ah we have remarked, more might linve been said by the Oregonlan and not weakened the criticism. For In Blnnce, mention could have been made that it would have been a crime against the post office depart ment for any t ltly.cn to have done the name thing and a newspaper publish ing any advertisement such as the Interior department used would have lieen denied the use of the malls. The' post office department would liave denounced the Hcheine as a fraud; warning the public against It. Mr. 1'aft has much to look after since the 4th of March last It Is true, and perhaps, has been unable to give this mibjict a single thought, but we trust that lie will have Ills attention called to the matter by some well wisher of his administration before this national disgrace Is out of mind. less diseased fruit In the market this season than In any previous year since pests have become troublesome. Close fruit Inspection In orchards and in the market is the only way to make our fruit what it should be and make the business pay. The trouble Is with the orchard and the only remedy Is to spray for the vari ous diseases. If you have neglected this this year, the crop for this sea son Is spoiled and you must not ex pect to offer It In the market with out suffering the pains and penalties provided by law. ROICX.
