'"Hood, iivcf, Slacier. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1805. The situation at Salem remains un changed ; Mr: Dolph receiving 42 votes, the balance of the republicans vote scattering, and democrats and pop ulists vote for men ot their own par ties. Two patients in Good Samaritan hos pital in Portland are being experi mented upon with the new germ the ory for cancer." The doctors in charge sent to New York for germs of erysip elas.. JPliese 'germs will, it is conjec tured, eoii !iteract,-.the, effects of the cancer g'vno.,,. So far the results have been highly satisfactory and the pa tients, are. on the road to recovery. The Dalles 'Chronicle- suggests the , name of our fellow townsman, Hon, E. L. Smith, ; for the consideration of our legislators as an available candi date for', United 'States senator. We rise to second the' nomination, it is plain enough that Mr. Dolph cannot be re-elected, and it is time for his sup porters to Te casting about for a;' man they can support'and f.wfio wlll draw votes from the bolters. Mr. Smith is In accord with Mr. DblptTon the fin ancial quttetton; and': With' his party on the tariff .iquestioh,::and Is known throughout the state as' a friend 'to an open riverv with no .affiliation-With corporations or monopolies. His elec tion would be a just tribute to Eastern Oregon. While speaker of the house of representatives in the Oregon legisla ture, six years ago,' Mr. Smith voted for- the memorial to congress asking that senators be elected by a direct vote of the people. His election would give us, with Senator Mitchell's, two votes n the senate on giving the people the right to choose their senators, a ques tion that should be uppermost in the minds of the people of Oregon just at this time, when- a legislature selected to elect a certain man cannot succeed Jn electing-any one. . 0. A. R. antl Y, R. C. Entertainment. Editor Glacier: Among the many entertainments given of late in our city, the one in connection with the Installation of officers of the G. A. R. and W. R. C, on the 26th hist., is well wortny or mention. The programme and banquet were under .the special di rection of the W, R, C, which is rea- Bon sufficient to insure its success and met the approval of those present. Mu sic was rendered by Miss Annp Smith as organist, assisted by Mrs.- Georgia Rand, Miss Callison, Mrs. Woodward, and Messrs. Watt, LaFrauce, Rand, Husbands and Nickelsen. Solos, duets and quartettes.. were rendered" in a spirited and acceptable manner. Mrs. Woodward recited "Barbara Fritchie," and after repeated encore, favored the audience with the same in broken German.- The following officers for Canby post, No 18, G. A. R., were Installed for the ensuing year by Post Commander A. S. Blowers: C J. Hayes, commander; Thomas McDonald, senior vice com mander: Josenh Frazler. senior vice commander; L. Henry, "quartermaster; J. H. Dukes, surgeon; W. H. Perry, day; D. G. Hill, officer of. the guard; A. H. Blowers, adjutant. . ,-.., .. After the installation of these officers the W. R. C. installed their officers elect; Mrs.'Dr, Brosius presiding as in stalling officer. ' It is but a merited honor when we say the lady performed her part admirably, as did the others, A number of tne old soldiers were heard to say, "They beat us;" while The banquet was served at the Lan . gille house, and some eighty old sol diers, W. R. C. and friends were made glad by the good things provided. May all live to. enjoy many such-occasions. The Grand Army and Relief Corps are starting out with; good prospects, and we hope it may be the best year of pitr organization, new members;; added and 'old ones' revived, "and a new im petus be given . to the; grand work .of perpetuating the memory of ; What the contest..' ids, ' cbst'.na1 as Well as what it has secu red .for, us . .

' Executive Committee. i The Dishonest Commission Men. ' The Glacier . is indebted to Mr. Peter Cordes for a copy of the San Francisco Call which tells of the estab lishment in Chicago of a depot for the sale of California fruit and wine. The gentlemen engaged in this enterprise are large fruit growers in California who hope to overcome the difficulties under which the fruit growers of that state have labored to secure a liberal market for their fruit and an adequate return for the same. One of them, in discussing the fruit swindlers of the East, said: ; "I knew a grower who sent a lot of plums to Chicago for which returns were made to him at the rate of 55 cents a box. He subsequently learned from authoritative sources that bis lot of fruit had in reality been sold for $1.25 a box. The scheme which the commission men had worked in this instance is the same that is practiced in almost all other cases. . It was a simple process, and necessitated only the selection of the poorest fruit in the lot, selling it for what it would bring and. -making returns to the 'grower upoh that basis. The good-fruit which was-" retained was placed in cold storage and disposed of as the market .would justify and at approximately high fig ures." -. ,, V'l know myself," said another gen tleman, "that California fruit doesn't get a fair show in the Chicago market. I recollect one trip I made to that city, during which I, as usual, visited the auction rooms. The auctioneer would put up a batch of California fruit, and with but' little preliminary work knock it down to an invisible purchaser. Sub sequently I learned that it was the custom of certain private fruit auction eers who did not receive products from our state for sale on commission to drop into these commission houses and bid in the fruits privately, then, taking them to their own establishments, sell them over again at auction. Hera we have an instance of two middle-men receiving a profit, all of which,of course, comes out of the producer's pocket."

The de partment recommends that' the dis eased trees be thoroughly sprayed with rsoraeaux mixture, special care oeing taken to treat frequently those parts affected the preceding season. The treatment should invariably be pre ventive and not curative. The Bor deaux mixture is best adapted for use during the rainy season, and is made with 10 pounds of lime and 6 oounds of copper sulphate to 45 gallons of water. .

As a warning to eareless cows who may read this paper or hear of it from somebody else, and also as a pointer to those who employ cow help about their establishments, I relate the following story for publication: ' About a week ago "I was returning home in the evening and stopped to warm my.jfeet at. the great blazlng.flra in the fire-place of a neighbor. Altera lull in the conversation I whipped out a copy of the Glacier (which I usually cerry in my pocket to ward off sporadic diseases) and began to read aloud. some of the items from the old home.-. I soon came to the notice about Charley Rog ers' cow having lost A. portion of her tongue. - - ' , : ' As soon as 'I had finished reading the story, an elderly lady of the old school, who had. been intently listen" Ing to all the 'reading, quickly turned out the remaining ash of a finished pipe of tobacco with that deliberate and characteristic tap on the jam which, has its own voice so. definite that those familiar can recognize1 it any where-i without the accompaniment of 'sight. and thus unloosed her tongue; V, ' "Jjst lissen,;.to. laeriiow.i.wiirQijf .When I wuz a little, gyurl pbqu&p high, (holding her hand about three feet from the floor) my poppy had a black cow. : Her right name wM Betts, but us children 'called 'lier cause she wuz so black, any critter could, a bia.'.bladke'r.' .' Shel tooK the holler horn one tim;and pop. sawed her horns off. - After, that she most generally went by the name of 'old Sawd Horns;' and we called her by that name all the, time. She 'wnz' the best cow that ever , lived, . I reckon. Bless my life, I believe- a baby -could ov laid down between her feet without any danger whatever.-. Us children.' could jest go up and rub and pat her anywhere, and she'd stand perfectly. still like she liked -it:-, And for. milk,: you could jest set one of these big wood buckets under her and milk' it'' briiii full, and 'twould run over. And slch milkj-too; we 'don't get any 6ich now adays. ;iBut we had to kill her at last,. and I tell ye, it' mighty nigh broke us all up. It seems like one can't' have anything real good Without it has to be taken away from us jest When we seem to need it most. I reckon it must be all right, though, or 'twouldn't be so. Well, I'm going to tell you a story about that cow. One morning Jerusha (she , was my sister) , went out to milk her, and almost before I can tell it she ran back, and I'll declare to goodness I thought her eyes were about-to bust outen ther sockets, 'Come quick,! flhe said, like she wuz frightened near to; death. We follered her out,; on ' the run, and bless my life; I never saw a mortal: human that 'looked-feo much like they'd lost all their friends asthat cow. I never seed k person look so! woe begone and sad as that critter did. 'What upon this, round earth is the matter?' we nearly all exclaimed at once. We tried to see if she would eac, and fixed up every kind of a tempting mixture wa could think ov, but it, weren't any use. She jest stood there and moved her mouth round occasion ally and looked like she was ready to cry all the time. : . "Poppy came out, and after watch-, ing her a few moments, he pulled her, mouth open, and O my! about this much by her tongue had been cut off jest as slick as if it had been cut with a sharp knife." As the woman made the last remark she' placed one hand across the center of the other to indi cate how large a slice of the tongue had been clipped off, remarking as she did: "It inust ov bin fully three or four inches." ; i:--. '.y' .,; .,; ' y' Continuing herstory, she said: "All day long we wondered , and wondered who could have been so mean as to cut off the cow's tongue. In the evening one of the boys went in the .log stable to feed. the horses and found the piece of tongue jest below the' feed; trough. Looking above the trough' in a crack between the logs lie found some' fresh' dried blood. When he told us we all went out to see it. We could then unr. derstand it all and how it happened, We had a wicked biting horse that was always trying to bite i every persorrarrd everything that came, about him .wbei , he was eating. We had often seen the cow reaching her tongue-through "the crack to try to get 'some of the hajfiiM 1 corn that was fed o.tb'e'liors.''Sti'tJ whole matter wuz plain-to us.jtben The cow had been trying to get the horse's feed, and he had grabbed her tongue in his vicious way and clinched it tight, and as she must have pulled back with all her might, ov course the piece of tongue had to come off. We never could get the cow to eat aiiy more. She kept , dwindling away and going idown until : poppy killed her to get her out ov her misery." . 1 ' .;' - ".;. s.-:t. II. Dr. E. T.

Meeting of Northwest Fruit Growers. The Northwest Fruit Growinar Asso ciation and the Oregon State Horticul tural Society will hold their annual meeting at the city of 'Portland, com mencing Wednesday, February 6, lHUo. The Northern Pacific the Oregon Railway and Navigation Co. and the Great Northern have agreed for a full fare going and one-fifth returning. Tickets must be purchased within th.ee days of the time of holding the convention., . To obtain the reduced rate on return the. purchaser must ob tain from the agent a certificate that 1 he purchased such ticket for the pur pose ot attending said convention, tie must also receive a certificate from the secretary of said convention that he at tended the same. On presenting these Certificates to the agents of these roads at Portland he will .receive his return ticket for one-fifth of the regular fare. It is hoped that there will be a large attendance from all parts of the north west, also that there will be every ef J'.ue frujts 0f fort maite to secure a good display ot our region. To this ail are asked to contribute. The intention is to organize and har monize the fruit-growing interests of the entire northwest Idaho, Wash ington, Oregon and British Columbia--in the best manner and invite full dis cussion of all questions involved. The meeting will be made valuable and in structive' by practical discussion of many topics involved in horticulture, and the advantages of every section of this broad northwest will be explained oy representative men present.
