back" in which the writer offers SOM
suggestions on spraying fruit trees, il
which he concludes that I've is the bes
solution for spraying.
agree with the writer so far "a thu
merit and value of I've is concerned; it il
q good and effective spray when properly
applied. but / have seen q number OF
fruit trees that have been injured and the
bark slightly shriveled and burned,
which is very Injurious to the tree.
This deficiency can be avoided by as
good or a better formula, as follows: One
pound of I've, one pound of whale oil
soap Tor one quart of good soft soapl, six
gallons of water; add one pound of sui
phur, well boiled, or till it turns amber
color; add one pound rock lime well
Stacked and strained; churn all together.
This makes valuable spray and will not
burn or injure the tree.
/ recommend the lime, sulphur, salt
and I've, especially for large or old orch
ards for the reason that it is recommend
ed by all the experimental stations and
by prominent horticulturistsa as being the
most effective spray for the dormant sea-
son, and for the further reason that all
the orchards that have inspected that
have been treated with this solution for
the last two or three years are generally
free from pest and show a clean, vigorous
growth.
The time has now arrived when this
work should be done. A few warm days
will start the buds very rapidly. There
is no time tor delay.
Horticultural reports containing the
various formulas for the different seasons
and much other valuable information,
also the late law in full in regard to hor-
ticulture can be obtained on application
to me, or will be mailed to any address
on receipt of three cents to pay postage.

Fatal Shooting ARRAY.

A fatal shooting scrape occurred on
Cottonwood island, Skagit county,
Monday morning, in which man by
the name of J. Jackson was shot and in
stantly killed by Joseph Henry, who
has for some time past been postmaster
at Urban. The trouble between the
two men has been of long standing, we
are told, and several threats had been
made. We have been unable to learn
any further particulars of the affair.
Sinclair island, or Cottonwood, as it is
commonly called, lies between Cypress
aud Orcas islands, and is just outside
the San Juan county line.
LATER.
About one year ago team belonging
to Henry was shot, which was charged
against jackson. About three months
ago terrible fight occurred between
Henry and Jackson and his friend, III
which Henry was kicked with hObnail
shoes. Henry procured Jackson's ar
rest, but Jackson's friends testified too
strong and he was released.
Yesterday morning Henry and Jack
son became engaged In another fight
| in which Henry was terribly beaten
After getting away from Jackson
Henry went to his home, procured his
revolver and returned in search Of
jackson. When jackson saw Henry
with q revolver he started to advance
on Henry, saying that he would see il
Henry had any nerve, whereupor
Henry raised his pistol, taking careful
aim at jackson. Thereupon Jackson
turned about, but Henry discharged
/ the contents of his revolver just tn.
same, striking Jackson in the left side
the wound 1acerating his lungs and
death being produced inside Of 81,
minutes.
Henry then went to Anacortes Il
surrender himself to the legal authOri
ties. The officers, however, refused Il
accept the arrest, and at . late hou
Monday night Henry was still at large

The Damage to Wheat.

Reports indicate that considerable
damage has been done to the fall-sown
grain in the Eastern sections Of Oregon
and Washington, but more true OF
Oregon than Washington. Spring
frosts were generally more severe than
has been the case for many years past.
At present these reports are somewhat
contradictory. Concerning the crops
in this state they are very vague, as to
the total amount of the damage done.
In Oregon, however, the damage has
been considerable, reports from Mr..
Pague of the weather bureau service OF
Oregon placing the average at two pei
cent of the whole crop.

who did not think it advisable to re-
turn to the city, have secured rooms

at the institution and many applicants
are waiting for admission. Those who
have been discharged have been thor
oughly educated in the necessity of
breathing pure air, and the experience
at the hospital has also taught many
others, and no doubt the idea Of having
pure air to breathe will extend all
through the state. People viii have
better ventilated rooms in their houses.
A number of people nave applied for
rooms outside of the hospital, being
anxious to be near the institution;
