THAT miscarriage of Oregon jiolitifs Congressman
.Lafferty, is again in the limelight. Jlc possesses a
restless disposition and is apparently unable to shnnher
with i ik peace rnai, passeiu unuei-swimung, ukc iua vui-
league, (. ongressinan llawley.
i seems that since Mv. Lafferty quit the occupation
of spying upon poor homesteaders striving to reclaim the
Oregon wilderness, that the distinguished statesman has
taken to spying upon young girls, school girls at, that.
At least his 'latest bid, for fame is tho guise of a Romeo
tinging by mail to a fair flnliet whose picture he had seen
in the papers, and who he hoped to see on the congressional
balcony.
The Washington Times recently published the picture
of the members of the irraduatinir class of one of the high
schools. In the group was a cut of .Miss Florence Kubel,
aged H), daughter of the vhief clerk of the geological am'
vey. Mr. Lafferty was straightway smitten with the
yoiing lady's beauty and expressed his admiration in a
inamier illustrative of his winning ways. Ho had never
been introduced to and had never seen the young lady,
so he cut out her portrait, from the paper, pasted it on
a sheet of his otficial stationery, and after poetiealh
writing "this looks good to me" in a bold hand (it must
have been bold, even brazen) enclosed it with the following
long hand letter to Miss Kubel: j
"My Dear Miss Jvubel: Jseing impressed witli your pic
ture m the Times, T am writing to see whether a meeting
I cannot be arranged some time. T am enclosing tickets
Tl 1. - i . 11 -I- 1. . Ml il 1 1.1
ro me iamuy ganery. i nope you win use uicin, suuum
you ever have occasion to visit the House. I hope you
"will excuse the unoonventionality of this letter. I am a
bachelor, Mi, and hitve no family.
r "very sincerely.
"A. W. LAFFERTY."
When the irate father was shown the missive from
the love lorn statesman, he set out to threash the honorable
Lafferty, who at first denied, and then confessed author
ship, hiit begged so piteously, claiming it a first offense,
that he escaped other punishment than a tongue lashing
after writing letters of apology to all concerned, and prom
ising never to speak to Miss Kubel or to attempt to ad
dress ner.
rni i l 1... i: i . rv.... Al.
J.1US, HOWUV.IU, IS J1UL U1U UrL iUIIIllIICC VL Will .4VIOJ
as he called himself once unon a time. Just before he had
adopted the ihme of Abe, he became smitten with a lady
he saw on the streets of Portland and followed her, even
talked to hejr,' and mad'ei remarks which she interpreted
as insulting it is strange how some people are lacking
in romance and had him arrested. But her husband, de
siring no notoriety, dropped the prosecution.
But now comes our romantic Romeo and in a 2000
word telegram to the Orcgonian, endeavors to elucidate his
latest love quest. He says:
"Three months ago I sent out about 100 gallery cards,
most of them going to Portland and a few to frrtmds here
in Washington. In one case alone I sent a card to a young
ladv residing here whom I had not met and stated that
Washington 1 1 i snc should have occasion to visit the House gallery that
Hoped she would use tne card. 1 also stated tliat i. would
feel honored to have an introduction to her sometime in
the future if agreeable to her. That vas all the letter con
tained."
What a humiliating admission! A' congressman who so
forgets the dignity of his office as representative of the
people of his state in the legislative halls of the nation, as
to write young school girls he has never seen and try to
"date" them after the manner of the street "masher"!
And then Amorous Amidor prates of the purity of the
home as follows:
"There is one institution that I love more than the'
government in which I live, and that is the Ifome. It nmv
not be given to me to ever have one of my own, but I
would gladly die, if necessary, to protect the purity of
those of others "who have been more fortunate than my
self. Homes are based upon the virtues of the girls and
the wives of this co'untiy, and not one can be found who
will say that my words or actions in private have ever
been contrary to the sentiment I here express." '
It certainly looks like it. Insulting married women
on the street and writing strange school girls arc evidences
of our statesman's love ot home that are hard to beat.
And then Mr. Lafferty takes us into confidence and tells
us:
"No one except myself has heretofore known how
lonesome I was when I left Portland to come here to as
sume my duties last February."
Poor fellow! And, so he wrote that sinister letter to a
high school girl he had never seen because ho was so lono
some! Perhaps the many changes in name the congressman
has under-gone, are the pet names bestowed by school
girls during his lonesome spells. We hardly know wheth
er it is now Abraham W. (our Abe) as it was during the
campaign, or Arthur W. as it was during the homestead
spying days, or Amidon AV. as it was subsequently, or plain
A. W. as when he came from Missouri, or A. W. (Walter)
Lafferty as it appears in the congressional directory. At

O'Oara, William Johnson and myself,
we visited several fine orchards.
"The 'Hill Crest' orchard of some
CO acres of VJrypar-old apple nud
pear trees was tho first place visited;
from a tall tower in the center of the
orchard one gets i splendid view of
the Hoguc Hiver valley. This tower
is also used for watching "pear
blight." A shnrp look-out is Kept for
this disease and whenever it nppcnrs
off comes the limb well below tho
blighted snrface and tho wound treat
ed with corrosivo sublimate 1 to 1000.
These "treo surgeons,''' as they arc
called, keep a sharp look-out for
blight. .
'In tho spring of tho year, just
as the buds begin' to swell, all the
fruit trees arc trentPd to n shower
bnth of sulphur 'and limn wash, using
a good cnmincrcjal brand at nboill

if thoroughly dotio takes onro ofla
