But it Is in the field of Ori ental literature that the greatest of our rect-nt discoveries have km .Am. Nothing has been so astonishing- as the universality of the library remains. It Is not only royal records, or a few vo tive inscriptions, telling us, in grandil oquent terrcs, the mighty deeds of some Babvlonian or Cnni . - . . have been, brought to Ught.

Miller, the "well-known , politi cian of Southern Oregron, who has been spending a few day in Portland, con pra tula tea himself on having; twenty five acres of seven-year-old winter ap ple trees on his Rogue river farm. He cleared JSior an acre from, his 98" crop, and his advice to all fruitgrowers is, "Plant Winter applea." He has been an entnusiast in winter apples for last ten yeafSrahd thinks that time come-mm out all right in his good opln wu vt mem. T Tbe above Is a local news Itefn frorn yesterday's Oregonlan. . 1 i .Thia.I what the Statesman has been yiu(r ior ten year, over and over apain and agraln." WeVill venture; the asserOon that-wheri the full truth la kr.own, it will be found that winter ap pie trees . stood the. recent freer! weather better than others In the orchards. ut our farmers are "planting winter apples" this year. They are setting out all the trees they can get from the nurseries every one. The advice and the experience are taking; root. WHAT EAGAN SAID TO MILES.
