BUTTON TELEPHONE 1071 No. 9 Oak Street Hood River, Oregon EXPERIMENTAL STA TION REPORT IS OUT The report of the Hood River Rraneh Experiment Station was sent out lust wei'k. '1 he letter of transmittal from Director A. II. Corduly to President Kerr, of the Oregon Agricultural Col lege, says: Central office and laboratory nuar tors were rented in Hood River, ade quate equipment provided, and the ex periment elation was organized by the appointment of l,. (J. Marring as hor ticulturist, and J. R. Winston as plant pathologist. 1'rovinion was also made for some entomological investigations which have, for the most part, been in direct charge of Leroy Chiids, assistant entomologist or the Oregon Agricul tural College Experiment Station. In fulfillment of the agreement with the county court, the heads of the depart ments of horticulture, paint pathology and entomology at the Agricultural College have assisted in outlining all of the work and have had general super vision over it. Owing to the fact that the appropria tion did not become available until the latter part of May. very little was done before July 1, 11113. This report, there fore, coversbut little more than one season's work, and it is almost need less to add that none of the results can be considered conclusive. The principal porpose of the report is to show some thing of the nature of the work that has been done. Orchard problems that are easy of solution have, for the most part, al ready been solved. Most of the re mainder, many of which are important, can be solved only by cureful scientific investigations, which must extend over a period of seveial, often many, years. The department of plant pathology was somewhat handicapped during the first year of the establishment of the station by the failure to obtain a plant piithoglogist for the work until mid summer. This dilliculty had not been foreseen, and no temporary work was begun until in the spring of HU.'i. The services of J. R. Winston were finally secured, and he began work in July, Mr. Winston is a graduate of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, having specialized in plant pathology. Later he took graduate work at the Pennsylvania state college, where he secured the degree of M. S. He has since served hb assistant plant patholo gsit at the North Carolina experiment station, from which position he re signed to come to Oregon. Mr. Winston came to us with good general training and a thorough knowledge of his sub ject, and has had Bpeciai experience in the study or eastern apple diseases. The work of the department has been outlined along the following projects 1. investigations of so-called winter injury or die-back in apples. 2. A study of apple fruit spots and rots. 3. htudiea of tho mushroom root rot of apples and other trees and plants. 4. Ccneral observations and preliminary investigations on plant diseases in gen eral. 5. Experiments for the control of apple scab. At the present time a detailed report is being made on the last-mentioned project. This work has taken a gieater part of the time of tho local patholo gist, and it has been possible to make only a limited study of the other pro jects, valuable data concerning these, however, are gradually being accumu lated, and reports will be made as fast as the progress of the investigations warrants. Grateful acknowledgment is due Prof. I.. F. Henderson, former botanist of the University of Idaho, fur ellicient assistance and counsel in connection with the experiments for apple scab control and for his kindness in criticis ing the manuscript of the portion of this report covering that work. Subjects touched on in the report are as follows: "Experiments fur the Con trol of Apple Scab," H. S. Jackson and J. R. Winston; "Miscellaneous Pathol ogoical Projects," H. S. Jackson and J. U. Winston; "Horticultural Investi agtions." C. I. Lewis; "The Farm and Vegetable Garden," A. G. H. Roquet; "Entomological Investigations," Y. F. Wilson and Lerov Chiids. Experiments were conducted by J. R. W inston in the orchard of Gran" Hros., the Anile Land and Orchard Co.. the Davidson Fruit Co. and Woodworth & Loomis. Prof. L. F.

BOWLBY IS RETAINED TO FINISH WORK It was announced last week that Ma jor Bowlby would Le retained until Columbia highway work in Hood River and Columbia counties could be com pitted. The $G0,uuu task around Mitch el! fomt, just we.-t of this city, will be Legun at once. 'Ihe plans and epecifi catiofis lor the work have been drawn and advertisements for bids will be made this week. At a meeting held in Rainier last Thursday citizens expressed their opin- ion mm major Huwitiy snouid be re tamed until after contracts in that county were completed. Commenting on the retention of Ma jor bow I by the Portland Journal says: The state highway commission to be commended fcr its determination to retain the services of State Highway Engineer Bowlby at least until pending work in Columbia and Hood River counties is comuleted. The retirement of Major Bowlbv was determined upon by the governor and state treasurer over the opposing vote of Secretary Ulcott, and the change of plan is reassuring to those who are paying out'money for construction of large enterprises in road work, both the governor and the state treasurer are entitled to credit for retracting their steps in this important matter. When the attacks were made on Ma jor Uowlhy, the true reasons for most of them were not well understood. The ways and meanscommittee gave a bearing to his opponents but denied uch a hearing to'his' friends.,; It was an extraordinary proceeding, and in itself, to a considerable extent reveals the unfair character of the attacks made on the highway engineer. Major Uowlby ought not to leave the state employ under a cloud. Sacrifice of a public ofiicial for an honest per formance of duty is a tragedy. Instead of sacrifice, there ought to be high re ward for public men who chart their course by conscience. 1 he change of attitude by the mem bers of the highway commission is a splendid public act. foust&jierleTian- DLE STUDEBAKERS L.

In addition to his painting and writing, Mr. Cronyn has been delivering a number of lec tures this winter. He spoke to the students at Reed College on "Children and the Drama." The school board and the grade teachers of Portland were addressed on the beautih'cation and decoration of schools. Mr. Cronyn went to Portland yesterday to deliver an address before the Council of He- itew Women on "Objects of Social Service." He proposed a system of self government for young men and young women who are beyond school age. This will eliminate the necessity of charitable work, which has been found not to be very successful in that the cll'ect has been permanent. He proposes the establishment of summer vacation camps, managed by the young people themselves.

The JapaneBejjboy, standing near their heads, made a grab for the reins, but was jerked from his feet. He fell and the team and wagon passed over him. The breath seemed knocked from him, and one of his hands was badly bruised. However, after having the latter bandaged, he mounted his driver's seat and piloted his team to the country. The runaway team, after narrowly missing pedestrians and collision with other vehicles, was finally brought to a standstill when one of the animals fell. This and Five Cents! Don't miss this.

By Robert Rand (Continued from last week) inree other men and 1 went up to the house to get the woman and ber two daughters, and whatever clothes they were to carry with them. There was no light in the house, ihe woman met us at the door and said. "Can we go with your" W hen we'told her that we had decided the could, the took each one of us bv the hand and caid. "God bless you." We then told her to take as few things as Dossible and to make haste. We were joined at Oeden bv a man and bis wife who had left us when our cattle had stampeded just before we reached Fort Bridges. He had a pair of cattle and. a light spring wagon. The vehicle was covered with an old patchwork fquilt. The man said it had been made by his great-great-grand-mother in 14!tZ. It certainly looked it. The women who joined us were put in this wagon. harly in the morning we were on the road and soon had arrived at Bear river, where a Mormon charged us $10 for ferrying us across. We learnorl later that we could, have forded the stream without the slightest danger. When we had traveled about five miles from the river we looked back and saw a party of five horsemen fol lowing us rspidly. "This looks like trouble, men," said Mr. KnaDn. "Get your guns and get ready to shoot when I give the word." As they approached we stopped our train. Thev rode arouund glancing into the wagons. But the runaways were hidden beneath the folds of the old calico quilt. "What do you want?" Mr. KnaDD finally asked. Their spokesman then asked if we had seen a man and three women in a licht wagon drawn by a span of mules. "We have not," replied Mr. Knapp. "What are the runaways, murderesses or thieves?" "That's our business," said the man. "Well, you.had better attend to it," said Mr. Knapp, and they rode away. . We ifelt very much relieved'after they had gone, but we feared" they would return with reinforcements. The woman, who was with us, whose name, by the way, was Mrs. Martin, said she recognized the voice of the spokesman as the man who wanted to marry her elder daughter. A few miles further on we met a company of U. S. troops, whom we halted and asked for aid. The cantain detailed five men as an escort for us. the dust began to nv acain and we all felt relieved until we made camp at the headwaters of the Humbolt river. Just as we were pitching our tents, the five menjwho had molested us in the morning appeared and wanted to stop with us, but Mr. Knapp objected. See ing the soliders with us they rode away. Ihe next morning the soldiers left. Mrs. Martin thanked them and said: "Tell your mothers how you have helped to saveja , widow and her two daughters from Mormonism." Nothing of any note happened until we reached the Carson river, after having crossed the desert. We camped there three days preparatory to crossing the moun tians to Hang Town, Calif. Just before we started a man rode up and asked if we would furnish him with food while crossing the mountain. He said he had nothing but his horse, but that he would be of assistance to us since he knew the good camping places. Mr. Knapp told him to join us. He spent the evening with us telling our party that he.had been in Califor nia for five years and that he was in terested in a quartz lode at Virginia City. Well, when we got on the road we saw nothing more of this man-not even when we made camp that night. We considered ourselves outof danger and we failed to maintain a guard that night. About midnight the flaps of our tents were quietly lifted and re volvers shoved into our faces. The men made us stand up and took from us all of our money. From our tent they gut about J80. I had $200 in gold ina buckskin bag. In daytime 1 would place it in the wagon. At night I put it in my boots and'made a pillow out of the boots. Thus my wad escaped. The robbers took about $1,750 from Mr. Knapp. They also took what little provisions we had and left us rather destitute. Of course, there was no more sleep for us that night. The next morning we met with another party of emigrants wno gave us a meal and enough provisions until we could get to xiang lown. we reached there on September 26, when the company dis banded. But before we separated we had a farewell dinner. We found eome boards and improvised a table. We made seats of boxes and kegs. When we sat down to the meal Mrs. Martin arose and said: "Friends, I have never told you that I was a Methodist. I want to express to you my gratitude for having saved us. I haven't the words, though. Let me now return thanks to the good Lord." I wish I could repeat that prayer. When she said "Amen" we were certainly a urea, oust ana sorrowful comDanv. The next moi-ning we all shook hands and separated. I went o Amador coun ty and enagged in mining and made some money. A Hero He is not the kind of hero That flourisehd in the past, But having been discovered May his fame forever last. He never stormed at castles To rescue maidens fair, With lily-rose complexions And wavy, golden hair. He didn't catch the pirate When other men had failed, He didn't capture Robert, (Another Kidd that "sailed.") He never rode a charger Upon a battlefield, Nor his the suit of armor And protection of a shield. Yet he calmly faced derision All the scorn that men can fling For he wrote a little poem And dared to call it "Spring." Sara A. Davis.
