Deforo tho Indian wars of 1855-0 wore finished, the legislature author ized by statute payment of the claims. Hvery session since that time has been held without providing the funds with which to make pay ment, until tho last meeting of tho legislature. When tho claims wero nearly (JO years old, after many of tho onen who could havo made claims had died, and after It has be come extraordinarily difficult to presout accurato ovldenco of what' was furnished, tho stato has con cluded to pay Its bills.

SIXTMLVK lliuiimiml acres oC ooinuivivlal gi'clnmls in . full bloom arc spilling thoir fragrance on tho noft spring air iir the ttognc river valley this bright April day of the year nineteen thirteen. For once all varieties of fruit trees are in bloom at tho same time -a rare occurence, due to. the eold backward season followed by warm weather. From foothill slope and floor of tho valley, from green expanse of grain fields to verdure elad and roek ribbed mountain, nearly five million trees tiro wearing bridal hues of pink and white. Almonds, peaebes, plums, hall a dozen varieties of peal's and a score of varieties of tipples riot in a very wilderness of blossoms and spiee the air with I jury perfumes a month's season of bloom compressed into a few fleeting days. There are few more beautiful sights than the logue river valley in spring, with vjiried greens streaked with yellow, purple and white, us myriad wild flowers, its black fields of newly plowed hind, its jagged skvline of verdure elad and purple shadowed hills. A thousand tiny throats life, meadow larks arc whistling their wild melody, the drowsy hum of the insect world lulls the senses as the golden sunlight showers the earth on a hind. "fair as the garden of the Lord." Fruit Trade (From tho loadinc English hortlcttl tural Journal, "Tho Krult, Klowcr aud Vcgotablo Trades' Journal," published In London.) Wo publish elsewhere In this Issue coplotia extracts from an elaborate address on some economic aspects vt the fruit trade, delivered by tho man ager of the Northwestern Krult Ex change. Portland, Ore, We are prompted to set these deductions be fore our readers, firstly, because the whole paper forms certainly the most comprehensive as also one of the most closely reasoned discourses on the subject that has ever come under our notice. Secondly, because there Is much. In spite of tho fact that the conditions away In Oregon must of necessity vary considerable from the conditions prevailing In this country, which exactly coincides with the views we hold and havo pu forward In theso pages when dis cussing the troubles and anontat.es besetting tho trade right through from tho orchards and nurse.'cs to tho retailer's shop. The lecturer starts out by tolling his hearers, who would mainly be applo growers, that most of tho eco nomic Ills they suffer from are of their own making, while auch as arc attributable to the Jobber, or silor.- man as wo know htm hero, aro qulto easily remediable. Now wo don't go quite so far as to suggest that grow ers In this country have It In their power to remedy the economic disad vantages under which they suffer In certain directions, but wo do con tend that there is seldom any rea sonable causa for them to quarrel with tho manner In which their pro duce is bandied by the agent to whom It Is entrusted for sale. aro also at ono with tho lecturer In most of what he says about cooper ation, for whllo ho upholds coopera tion as n means for working many economics nnd other advantages ho bhows himself fully alive to tho woik points which render cooperation far from being tho universal panacea It Is upheld to bo In some quarter. How truo again Is all that is said about cooperation being a word often used but seldom understood a prac tice generally regarded as having no merit when extended beyond tho co operator and bis Immediate Interests. What would the staunch advocates for cooperation among growers have to Bay, wo wonder, If market mon sinking all trado rivalry and pel'.y Jealousies, If mlch wero possible, sought to cooperate among them selves? What an outcry there would bo, and how the air would ring with cries of "trusts," "rings "com bines," etc. Cooperation would then present Itself to them as one of the machinations of tho ovll one. Never theless, In splto of Its limitations and possibilities of misuse, A careful perusal of this raoit entertaining pa per, or ho much of It us our space permits or our reproducing, will sat isfy the reader that cooperation can bo made tho means of obtaining many benefits for fruit growers which can bo derived from no other source. Wo heartily Indorse all that h said about the middleman being a necessary, and an economic factor In tho fruit trade. Whether thoro bo cooperation or no cooperation, a middleman whoso services must be paid for, Is a necebslty In getting fruit from the plantations to tho con sumer. What Is said about abnormal profits Is particularly appropriate Just now when so mupy complaints aro rlfo as to tho wide margin be tween tho price fruit Is sold to the UUbllc and the price returned to ho grower. It Is deplorable that there should bo such a divergence, but, whllo rates and taxes and rout form such a burdensome chnrgo upon a retailer's protJts, tho prlmo cost of a low-priced article such as fruit will remain but mm factor nml by no nieaus tho principal ono lu re MW)FOTtT TvrATTi TUTmTNR MTWFOUT).

It a retail fruiterer had nppl.'s given to him ho could not afford to retail them at Id per pound under present day method of taxation. The position is well Illustrated by the contrast the lecturer draws betweou the fruitgrower and manufacturers bt proprietary articles, and his re mark apply with equal forco In this country as across the Atlantic. Man ufacturers of proprietary nrtlclcs have frequently to take measures to protect themselves against tho cut ting Instincts of retailers eneaced In keen competitive business. The Idea br the shopkeeper holding up prices In restriction or trado Is a bocey. An Isolated caso denoting Bheer cussed- new may be met with now nnd then, but It Is no serious factor In the situation. The retailers' prices are high becauso his expenses aro exces sive, and In this direction every branch of the trade might well act In unison seeking tor means of re form, sure of tho support of tho great flrltlsh public which Is pre pared to sacrifice much for the sake of cheap food. In which It has come to regard fruit as an clement. Wo further ask our good friends amqng growers to read, mark and mentally digest tho lecturer's weighty words as to tho need of forcing a market by means of ad vertisement. What has como to bo recognized as tho main driving force In present day commerce, tho fruit farmer, though faced with tho world's competition, generally thinks fit to Ignore. Truo there aro other mnttcrs wanting adjustment first, auch as organizing sales under a brand beforo any direct advantages could bo reaped by a frtilt rarnicr from advertising on anvthinc Ilko .-1 largo scale. In tho meantime, how over, fruit farmers will do well to remember tltat tho snlesman wl,, ahoH himself allro to tho sweet usos of advertisement Is far moro likely to command an outlet for his urn. duce entrusted to him for Halo, than the man who wnlta for custom to como to him, however respectable he may be or was his grandfather be fore, him.

FA.KMEU, Stop Your (My llyron II. Btatiffur In San Francisco Examiner ) With all our whining, lion wan there a hotter year than this of grace nineteen hundred thirteen? A hundred years ago tho working man's homo waa a hovel, built In awkward rows, In ttullghted, mnviir loss streets.

A little meat was a luxury: meat was only Tor the sqtilro't family, A hundred yenrs ago England con sumed six times tho amount of liq uor per capita an now. (,aiublliig nnd drinking wero well nigh universal. Saloons offered people a fair drunk for a penny, a dead drunk for two pence, n dead drunk with titraw on which to sober up on threepence. A hundred )ears ago the tttrccM of cltlca wero ho unsafe that even tho greatest had no security from thtuves. King (tcorge 111 lost his purse, watch and buckles on a dark London street. A hundred years ago sports wrio vtctous. Hull fighting, prise fighting, cock fighting and hear baiting wero tho chief amusements with drunken ness and profanity characterizing the performance. Our enthusiastic base ball matches, under perfect coutrul and patronized by the best pcopl.', arc eloquent testimonials of our ad vancement. A hundred years ago a Ulble In an English workluKUian's home was a curiosity. Hooks were nearly nil ob scene, excepting o few voluiuen of sermons dry as dust. The public Forest Supervisor Discusses Planting of Shade Trees To tho Editor. Tho last para graph In your editorial or April 2 almost exactly voices the sentiments 1 havo held and often expressed to friends. That a city with street trees Is moro attractive than ono without needs no argument, nor should It need but n moment's thought to con vince one that ati attractive city will bring a desirable population which otherwise might be turned away. That a systematic planting and tend ing of street trees would be a good Investment for tho city considered solely on a money basis cannot be doubted. During the heat of sum mer we especially need trees to al leviate tho intense, heat nnd light re flected from tho pavements. In tho last few years many public spirited persons have planted trees In tho parkings In front of their houses. This spirit Is commendable, but tho result can never be entirely satisfactory. I'ndcslrablo species havo been planted, tho spacing has not been uniform nnd In nearly every case the trees have been planted too closo together for (heir proper de velopment. No uniformity In spe cies Is maintained, aud when once planted, with few exceptions, no fur ther fare Is taken of tho trees. Mis tletoe Is unchecked, pruning of large branches In unskilfully performed and trees allowed to branch clo&o to tho ground. Illnuks aro loft In from of vacant lots, and no adequate pro vision for spraying Is provided. This Is tho inevitable result when the responsibility Is placed on sev eral hundred Individuals working without cooperation, very tew of whom havo any knowledge of the requirements or hnblts or tho trees they aro handling. A few years ago I, by request, spoko on the subject of street tree planting to tho Creator Medford club and at that time strongly urged that If possible tho work should bo done by tho city. It was tho opinion or tho city attorney, who was present, that a city forester or street tree commission could under tho laws uud our charter havo only an advisory position, and that they or tho coun cil would havo no authority to pass ordinances or regulations for tho pluming or preservation of trees planted in the parkings. it Is regrettable If tho city can plant and control Its trees in the park and yet has no Jurisdiction over Its parkings. No ono would think of posting sign boards on the park trees, and yet It would seem ono can with Impunity allow horses to gnnw tho bark from street trees or oven cut them down without permit. Aud yet trees planted In tho parking aro tho proporty of tho city no less than tho park trees, no matter who has put them there. If this Is so, oven U It 1b necessary to obtain legislation ror tho needed authority to contiol our highways, tho Booner wo start things moving In that direction tho sootier wo will avert doing Irreparable daniPgo to John A.

Cheer up! our city. What should bo done b experts appointed to the position Is now being done haphazard according to tho personal and variable whim of Individuals. Tho result Is that we are making the mistakes that nearly pll cities In tho country except Washington hnve made, aud ore powerless to profit by their expe rience, their failures and Imsoiis. simply because of want of knowledge and lack of concerted action. Acts have been passed In several of the eastern states to alleviate just such a condition. The New Jersey laws nro perhaps the most progres sive, and havo been taken as a mod el for other stntca. Under them nny city or Incorporated town may nt Its option adopt tho s)stetu as outlined It provides for a commission of three citizens who shall nerve without re numeration, and who are empowered to pass ordinances for the planting, rare and protection or trees planted on tho hlghwnys or parks. Ilofore contemplated action Is done on any street the commission advertise lis Intentions tu tho dully papers n spe cified time and Invites residents of tho streets affected to offer tiny ob jections or suggestions.

This ran not he left satisfactorily to tho Individual, not can tho control of disease or pests by spraying. Tho work Is done iy the city ami tho cost, which Is slight, Is usscssotl In the taxes against tho nhuttlnii properly. In other words, tho Im provements are mniiagcd In tho winia way us any other stnet ItuprovoiticM such as paving, sow'or or water main. This is the only rational way of solving our street treo problem, mid until it Is done we will go on blun dering uh wo nro doing now, and us hundreds of other cities havo done boforo Uh, to discover our mistakes several yearn bunco when but little can bo done to rectify them, I could write much moro on this subject enlarging on some or tho ar guments I havo presented, and offer ing othorH, for this Is a subject in which I am deeply Interested. Thin Is enough, however, to express tho hope that measures will bo Initiated to put tho hiislncfcs or street treo planting mid enro where It belongs, under tho control or a commission or commissioner.
