Kh tlnmtcB ot tho npplo crop ot Oregon nro being generally reduced In some Instances qulto materially on nrcount of unusunlly henvy dropping, blight nml dry rot. At tho present time It la not gcnnrnlly believed tbnt tha totnl production will bo within SO per cent or rlrst estimates. TIio dropping ot apples nil through tho state was unusunlly henvy this spring, Kovornl conditions being nsi signed ns tho cause. Tho wet cold weather Is attributed as ono ot tho chief contributing causes. Morn rain fell during tho lat spring nnd early summer thnu foi' many years. Orchards In somo ot tho lending districts which havo In ordinary season been compelled to thin their fruit at heavy expense dur-: Ing recent years, this year not only, did not havo to employ help to do this but tho elements cut out a much lar ger per cent ot tho fruit than human Interests havo over attempted, might In lCnMcrn Oregon Tho fire 'blight has proven a very serious ntfalr In practically nil see tlons of Knstcrn Oregon. In some sections ot that portion of the state tho trees at this time look as it there hnd been a fire all through tho or chards. Ono ot tho big problems of apple growers of Oregon this reason and which will have a serious effect upon tho total yield Is tho dry rot or tho fruit pit. This Is especially serious In tho Willamette valley nnd In tho Hood lllvcr section. Reports from tho latter section Indlcato that tho trouble Is much more aggravated than a year ago. It la ultficuit at tnu timo to estimate absolutely tho extent of tho damago on this account but all doubts that It Is serious, have, passed. Karly In tho season It was Indi cated that tho Hood Ilivcr section would produce probably S00.000 boxes of apples this year but It Is not beliorcd at this timo that tho crop, thoro will reach above 700,000 boxed It that amount Is reached. Apple Scab Twice Another factor that will affect the total crop of apples Is the second In fection of apple scab that Is taking place. This appeared as Ilttlo Ted spots on tho apples and was thought to bo a new fungus growth hut Its further development has proven be yond a doubt what It really is. In somo districts this Is going to ser iously cut Into tho total yield of tha better grades of fruit. One of tho redeeming features ot tho npplo crop of tho state this sea son Is tho fact that tho apples now promise to be of better slzo than other recent seasons. This will mini mlzo tho loss, occasioned by blight and dry rot. Tears will bo affected by tho blight nnd this will cut down tho expected yield ot the stato somowhat. AYS SLANDER CAUSE OF ATTACK AY AMERICAN MR BLVEN With Med ford trade Is Med ford mndo. 'Flint there nro two hides lo the ltlivcii-ICiitttxcii controversy, in which Mrs. Kntitzcu of Thomson crock is licensed of assaulting her neighbor, AIm. Hlivcn, nml breaking her mm, for which she litis been held lo the grand jury, is indicated by the following from Lee llnrriug lon of Applepite, who gives n ver sion friendly to Mrs. rCtiulrcu: "Applognto, Or., July 28. "To tho Kdiler: "In your issue of Inst week nnd in oilier of ' the Mcdford iaors ttliore was published scnnionnl nnd exnuer rated article in regard lo the difficulty between Mrs. IMivcu nnd Mrs. Knutr.cn of Thomp-on creek. In the trial before Justice Taylor only one side of the case was pre sented. ''Acting on tho ml vice of her ut lorncy, Mrs. Kniitren waived nil preliminaries nnd let the cne go up lo the grand jury. This has given rie lo the report Hint she pleaded guilty, which is not true. "Now, I wish lo say that Mrs. ICiiiitzen is not tho inhuman mon ster which the u foresaid newspaper articles pictured her to be, but a iptiet, peaceable, kind-hearted wom an who has lived in this community nearly nil horlifo. and n far ns I know has never had nuv neriOu dif ficulty with nuv body, while the other ono is nlwny.s in n scrap with some body. She seems lo have u mania of nbu-ing people, and lliore is scarcely a iwrson in this neighbor hood whom she has not nocued. She has been circulating reiwirls for sev eral months that Mrs. Knulzeti has been stealing hrr eggs nnd cliiekous, milking her cows and hiking things innumerable out of her house when ever she was away. And not satis fied with that, she finally accused her of maintaining improper rela tions with her (Mrs. lllivetis) hus band. "Mrs. Knutzcn hotly resented this and used some pretty strong lan guage ns to what she would do if Mrs. Illiven did not ipiit defnmiug her character. And where is the woman that would not have done (he Mime or more under the same circumstances f "Hut it is a fuct that can be proven that Mrs. ICiiiitzen did not attack her or attempt to do her bodily harm. "Vhilo wo believe (hat we know how Mrs. Dlivons' arm was broken, wu have no itoxilivc proof at pres ent, so will not venture an opinion.. "Wliilo the irrigating ditch spoken of may have been the cnu.se of the beginning of the trouble, its Inter developments were caused by jeal ousy.

HOSPITALS BETTER THAN EN LON'llON, Aug. 7.- Taken by mid large, the American hoxrnlnl is su perior to Hie best found anywhere in Europe, according lo Hie parly of seventy American physicians who arc hero today after visiliug practi cally every city in Europe. "Ql course,'' said Dr. Uioluud Kowios of N'ow York, "wo have seen iiiiiuv things in Europe which would help us in the hospitals of America, but we have more advanced systems mid paraphernalia in the United States ns a whole to show European institutions. In France, front a sci entific point of iew, llic physicians are masters. Hut een their newest hospitals lack some of the most im portant details to be seen in hospi tals of the United Slates. I mean by that Hie best manner of placing beds, arrangement of wards, wards for convalescents, gardens for air ing, sanitary arrangements, etc. I believe the French neglect their con alcscents too much. A relapse fif teen times out of twenty in Europe menus dealh, u percentage that is twice or three times as righ as it is in the United States." Dr. Sigmoud itrcitcnfcld, of the German hospital, Xew York, said: "After seeing nurses in hospitals all over the Old World, 1 take off my hat to our American nurses. cpteens of them nil. The t'hH of women 1 found in Paris, for in stance, acting as nurses, was bar below (hat of our own neat, trim, gentle nurses, nnd whereas in France they were more of the serv ant clns, at homo they are the equals nml treated as such, of any woman who employs tliem.''
