THERE is but one question before
the people at the spring election
shall we license saloons or not? All
this talk about increased revenues
and lower taxes is bosh and the peo-
pie will not be induced to vote the
Taxpayers ticket from that stand
point. Those who want saloons will
vote the Taxpayers ticket. Those
wishing the saloons closed will vote
the Reform ticket.

ch.r.s. w. Burr.se De.a.

The Oregonian of February 20, ID
speaking of the death Of C. w.
Burrage says: s
Word was received in the CITY
yesterday of the death of C. W. Bur
rage. of Canon City, Colo, who was
for many years q well known and
highly esteemed citizen of Portland.
Mr.. Burrage was native Of
Leominster, Mass. He received his
education as q civil engineer at Yale
college, and removed to Oregon about
1862 or 1868. Soon after he was
county surveyor, and his careful
notes and faithful work are found in
all the county and city records. His
sterling integrity won him the conf
dence of all classes and in later life
he was frequently summoned from a
distance to give expert testimony on
land matters. Probably there is no
one in the State more thoroughly &C
quainted with the topography and
survey-lore than was he. He was an
explorer and developed for observa-
tion and settlement several timber
and mining districts, and was an ex-
cellent amateur geologist.
(fn
"Mr. Burrage brought with him
from New England all the most ad-
mirable traits of the land of the
Puritans. He had a sensetive con-
science and feeling of business honor,
and loyalty supported every patriotic
or elevating municipal or social re-
form. He was unobtrusive in man
ner and speech, but when among
friends his conversation was versatile,
intelligent and witty, from a we'll
stored memory of knowledge of men
and things. lie was the friend and
instructor in the profession of many
of the present generation of survey
ors in Oregon.
"Mr. Burrage left Portland some
years ago on account of the health Of
his family, living first in Spokane,
and later in Colorado City. Two of
his sons here died during this period
He finally settled in Canon CITY whoro
he became leading and honored citi-
zen. His death will bring genuine
sentiment of grief to wide circle of
friends and chiefly to the membership
of the First Unitarian church, of
which he and his wife were founders
and benefactors.
Mrs. Burrage and her son, William
H. Burrage, with sister, Nellie, sur
vive him."

About 300 persons attended and were
treated to some fine music by the

Keeping Down the Cooling rloth.

More good in keeping down the
codling moth that produces wormy
apples can be accomplished in week
while trees are dormant any time be-
fore they hatch and commece their
| ldepredations on young fruit than in a
month of persistent hard work during
the growing season. says W. S. Co
burn. in a special article on the sub
|ject in a recent issue of the Rocky
Mountain News.
THE worms are now secreted un-
der the rough bark on the trunks and
larger limbs, in the forks and cracks
or crevices about the trees. By
scraping off all this rough bark and
cleaning the trees thoroughly and
washing them with solution of one
pound of concentrated lye to six gal
Ions of water, fully nine-tenths of
these worms will be destroyed before
Matching time.
Then, after the trees bloom and
the bloom drops. spray with Paris
green. one pound, and eight pounds
of fresh lime, to 200 gallons of water,
and repeat this in ten days. About
the middle of June apply burlap bands
and eromine and kill the worms every
ten days until the first of September.
After that time they cease Matching
and remain dormant until the next
spring and can be removed and cleaned
up any time after the crop is gathered.
Birds nests are great harbors for
the worms to hibernate in, after
leaving the apples and should be ex-
amined carefully every time the bands
are removed and as soon as the young
birds leave the nests should be gath
cred and burned.
1T is estimated on good authority
that the little insignificant codling
moth destroys upward of one-half the
apples produced in the United States,
making an almost total loss to the
fruit growers of millions of dollars
annually. The above plan, if careful
ly carried out, will result in saving
of 80 to 95 per cent of the crop.
This question is one of national i'm
portancs and is being thoroughly in
yestigated by many professors of ex-
pertinent stations and practical horti-
culturists throughout the United
States, with the hope of eventually
exterminating this worst of all pests.
This is the method | have followed

Latest Importation
Proves No Better
Than the Rest.
ONE ROUND WAS ENOUGH.
Joe Bernstein Lands His
Blows Hard and
Fast.

New York, Dec. 1-Dave Wallace,
the last of the cargo of English fight
ers imported here within the last few
months, went down in defeat, like his
predecessors, tonight. before the Broad
way Athletic club. Joe Bernstein of
this city placed several hard blows on
Wallace's face and body and in 70
seconds the Englishman lay PROSTATE.
He was counted out by Referee
Charley White, and his seconds had to
carry him to his corner. The boys met
for 25-round go at 124 pounds, but
the hackers Of the Englishman claimed
that their man was weakened by hav-
ing to take off 10 pounds during the
last three weeks
When the men met Bernstein was the
aggressOr and jolted his left four times
to Wallace's jaw, sending the English
man to the floor When Wallace got
up, bernstein sent his right over to
the head. Wallace lodged, but slipped
to the floor. He got up Immediately,
only to &C down again from straight
left that seemed to spread his nose
across his countenapce. He arose again
within the limit. Bernstein then
rushed at him and landed several left
hooks, and with a short right on the
point of the jaw put Wallace to the
floor, where he lay as if dead.
The Englishmans head struck the
floor as he fell. and after ten seconds
were counted off, the decision was Civ
en- to Bernstein. 1t took several min
utes to revive Wallace.

DRUNKARD AT THE ACE OF FIVE.

New York, Dec. He has been a
drunkard since he was five years old"
This was the accusation made in po-
lice court yesterday by a father against
his son. The culprit is now twelve
years old.
Few people who live anywhere near
the Triangle" do not know Tommy
Sweeney. In the locality the youngster
is known as Tommy, the terror of the
Triangle"
At five years of age some one taught
him to drink. Tobacco and swearing
accompanied this. His parents were
unable to do anything with him. His
mother pleaded with Tommy in vain
EVIL associates with whom Tommy
loved to be with soon left their mark
on Tommy. Naturally a bright boy he
used his talents in anything but the
right way. The character of the
youngster is hardly conceivable when
his age is considered. But he was alb
solutely incorrigible. He often beat his
mother when she demonstrated with
him for his Maynard conduct. His
father, too. often felt the sting of
Tommy's rage.
Though only twelve Tommy had an
appetite and capacity for liquor that
was astounding. When under the in
fuence of drink Tommy was a verit-
able demon. On more than one oc-
casion Tommy has made the residents
in the locality run for their lives }"
When under the influence OF liquor
Tommy usually managed to secure
possession Of a revolver or a knife, and
then dared any one to come near him
Yesterday Judge Fielder committed

Tommy has never been a boy who

complained about his son. A warrant
was sworn out for the boys arrest.
But Tommy managed to evade the Of
ficers.

undoing, and. it is hoped, the first step
towards his reform. Tommy was I'M

THE EMPRESS JEWELS.
Her Manager Says She is
Paid $50 a Day for
Advertising.

Miss Marie Tull Richardson, who
poses as an empress, for advertising
purposes, made her debut in Worcester
yesterday. Riding in a coupe, with a
gown of rich maroon, and a jeweled
crown, Miss Richardson, who is six
feet 4 inches tall ana weighs 225
pounds, was imposing enough in ap-
pearance to rule anybody
At the Bay State House, last even
ing, her manager, George c. Clinton,
who is a stockholder in the company
manufacturing the goods the empress
advertises, talked with The Spy man.
An interview with Miss Richardson,
who, he said, was far more queenly
than she appeared, was sought by the
reporter. Mr. Clinton was very oblig-
ing but the empress could not be seen,
as she had Travelled very much of late.
and was fatigued. ITO guard against
any one stealing the $4,000 worth of
diamonds and jewelry which she car
ries, / have a man patrolling the hotel
corridor in the vicinity of her room"
said Mr. Clinton.
What salary does she get?" asked
the reporter "SeYenty-five dollars per
day. modestly replied the suave Mr.
Clinton. Sundays included?" asked
the reporter. only $3.50 per week, that
is all" answered the manager, while
the reporter braced himself against a
pillar in the Bay State House rotunda.
Il suppose you don't believe this" said
the astute manager. The reporter said
nothing, so Mr. Clinton got encour-
aged, and said that the empress was
really very wealthy woman, and was
secured to wear crown and empress
costume, only after shrewd work by
himself.
Mr.. CHntnn invited the reporter up
stairs, that a gaze at the regal robes
might be h9G. and perchance a glimpse
at the jewels. When the top floor was
reached, the empress manager led the
way. The reporter suggested that the
guard must have been storing the
jewels in the regal strong box, as he
was not in sight. Just to knock all
the doubt from the reporters mind, Mr..
Clinton procured instruments of the
empress costume and Jewels, which he
displayed, with statements of the cost
of each, which would knock any or
binary man into insolvency. This, ;"
said Mr. Clinton, holding it in the
rays of the gas jet, lis a diamond
which cost s6000" "Whewi" eiacu-
lated the reporter, that is a peach!"
1T certainly is" interposed Mr.. Clin-
ton, but how about this?" The OBJ
ject for a gaze was a jeweled crown,
and the shrewd manager had delight
as he twirled it in the gas light and
watched the effect produced upon the
reporter by the sight of rubies and
emeralds an inch or two in diameter
The reporter felt the two nickels
which were jingling in his pocket and
thanked Mr.. Clinton for his courtesy.

at his mother and father. The par
ents said that he had been creating a
disturbance and the mother also added
that he had but a short time previous to
the arrival of the officers thrown an
onion as big as a cabbage at her head.
Mr.. Sweeney requested the police to
take charge Of his son. He said that he
was beyond the control of his wife and
himself.
The youngster was taken to the sta
ton house. When brought before the
sergeant Tommy wept as he had never
wept before. Big, brainy tears started
out of his eyes in an almost ceaseless
flow. His heart would break, It seemed.
But Tommy was cunning. When he
saw that his tears had no effect upon
the sergeant his tactics quickly changed.
He was now defiant. When placed in a
cell he began to sing and dance. Then
he pulled out a short, black pipe and
tobacco which he had managed to Sc
crete from the officers.
