A, Letter, secretary, to tho Tltlo and Trust company, a Port land corporation, as trustee. Tho trust deed is an extensive document, having 4S type-written pages, tho recording fees amounting to 3S.

TWO grand jury wluYh has just adjourned report oil upon orchard inspection and pathology as follews: A groat deal of complaint has been made and Is being made upon tho expense Incident to orchard Inspection The grand Jur Inning IuxcaU gnted some of these Items nro of the opinion that tho field work under tho atato law is necessary and that tho present drastic measures emplojcd by the county court to eradicate blight are necessary alul will result In Its complete elimination, Tho county court Is to bo complimented upon Its economic administration of the business of tho county, but In this con nection we respectfully submit tlutt a largo huiu of money U being ex pended In n mi-called pathaloglcal department which might bettor havo boon emploiod In field work In eliminating blight niil respectfully rec ommend that as soon as the honorable count) court can terminate and abolish this department such action wilt meet with much favor among tho taxpayers. The grand jury made no investigation of the county pathologist's office or department. Mat one or two of the grand jurors have ever been in the office, so are not ac quainted with the work accomplished and under Wav. No evidence was taken on the subject bv the grand jury, no orehardists or fanners appeared before the jurors. borne of the .-jurors, like many who have not investigated, are in complete ignorance of the laets. Tho report of the grand jury is then simply the opinion ot a majority ot these seven men only one ol whom is an orehardist. As it is not based upon a careful' studv of facts and examination of the office criticised, it is simply an expression ot prejudice. The grand jury is sworn not to act through "envy, hatred or malice," but "upon the evidence before you." hi this ease no evidence was before them. Hut the jurors used their position to attack a count v official without giv ing him a hearing or making even a casual investigation of the department complained of. The Mail Tribune believes that the office of pathologist is more essential to the welfare and prosperity of the val ley than any other county office in it. The great resources of the country are horticulture and agriculture. The money spent in Safeguarding and protecting them is the best spent portion of the tax revenues. Only the most skilled of scientists is fitted for the posi tion of.pathologist. It is his business to point out the suc cessful solution of the various pioblcms that affect the welfare of the orchard and farm. The warfare upon the multitude of pests, upon plant diseases of every nature, upon Jack Frost and a score of other subjects is conducted under his lireetion. but in addition he acts as advisor-in-general to growers of STOP CATARRH! l'to lljomcl ou Mrculhe lt I'nleM propei l.v treated thin dis ease often leads to a serious If not fatal ailment.

The pathologist's office is most capably filled at pres ent. Professor O'Gara is becoming a nation-wide author ity imon the various subjects under his jurisdiction. The new pests that are constantly appearing to prey upon plant and tree are referred to him by the department of agriculture and the forest rv bureau, who co-operate with him. lie tells when to snrav and what to Use. Had his warnings been heeded, blight would have been eliminated years ago. lie introduced orchard heating, and each year his frost warnings save nianv tunes his salary, lie is the best-posted man in Oregon on all subjects pertaining to horticulture and agriculture, and his loss would be a severe blow to these industries and the valley. He makes Ins mistakes who does not? but is little apt to err. There is and always has been a short-sighted element that objects to the employment of a pathologist, which cannot realize the value of scientific care, and which, if lis tened to, would soon have Rogue Kiver valley orchards in the same condition as those ol the illamette valley. This element among the orehardists loses fruit every year from frost, and this element has the worst infected orchards. These orehardists have to be shown, by the loss of a crop, the necessity of orchard heating, and by the loss of many trees, the necessity of keeping blight cut out. This faction and the general discontent due to hard times is voiced by tho grand jury. The county court acted upon the requests of the large majority of orehardists when it appointed Professor O'Gara pathologist, and widespread indignation would follow any effort to abolish the department. The 'ourt was entirely within the law in making the appointment, which is authorized as follows in Chapter Ui-I, session laws of 1913: "The county court Is hereby authorized to assess, levy, nnd collect, annually, lu the manner provided ror tho nssossomnt, levy and cel lo tlon of other taxes a tax not to exceed one-half mill to bo ret aside as a special fund nnd khall bo used for no othor purposo than tho omploymont of an expert or experts to study and Investi gate any phase of any agricultural niobtom or problems which may affect tho agricultural or horticultural Interests of said county. "That tho county court shall haw authority to employ nnd pa) any competent export or exports for the Investigation of all agri cultural or horticultural questions That tho county treasurer shall keep ouch fund lu a separuto fund and pay upon warrants drawn by county clerk."

According to the news dispatches, the Oregon delega tion have commanded much attention, visiting newspaper offices and the canitol buildings, and their presence, is widely advertising the state.
