A striking illustration of the neces'

in business circles here the other day
A business firm in the ordinary course

had been used some time as pin, and
had on one side piece of gold solder.
The coin was taken to bank for de-

the scales and proved of full weight

Hood River Victorious,

The ball game yesterday between
The Dalles team and the Hood River
crack nine, at the latter place, result
ed in a victory for the Hood River
players. The game was called at
o'clock on the field back of town, and
was indeed pretty contest. 1t was
evidenced from the start that the
Hood River nine was better practiced
than the players from here, and it. was
no surprise to the visitors when the
tallies were added up to learn that the
score stood l3 to in favor of Hood
River.
The excursion from here was we'll
patronized, about $50 people having
taken advantage. of the occasion to
visit the riverside city. The Regula-
tor left here at o'clock and reached
Hood River at 1890. The Dalles peo-
pie on arriving at their destination
amused themselves as best they could
until the game was called, then every
body went to the ball grounds. There
they spent the time pleasantly until
the boat whistled for their return, and
all got home in due time after most
enjoyable day on the river and in the
beautiful city of Hood River.

rather encouraging. From the letters
received it is learned the prune and
cherry crop will be little short of the
average, while peaches and winter
apples will be below the average. The
crop is better at point east of here than
it is in the Hood River section, it hav-
ing been less damaged by the Febru-
ary freeze in Gillian and Sherman
counties than in Wasco county.
From no place is their a report of an
absolute failure, and in every section
there will be some fruit for export.
These reports substantiate the claim
that there is never failure of the
fruit crop in Eastern Oregon, for the
past winter has been the severest test
on orchards ever known on this coast,
and that there will be any crop raised

fruitraising west of the Cascade noun

DESTROY THE MUMMIES.
Professor Cordley Tells How Blow
Rot NAV BE Cured

Professor Cordley Tells How Brown
Rot May Be Cured.
A bulletin is being issued by Profess
sor Cordley, of the Oregon agricultur-
al college, on the subject of Brown
Rot in Fruits" Brown rot is the re-
suit of the work of all fungi, and bac.
terra, which causes or induces decay
in fruits. 1t is called brown rot simp-
ly because of the browning of the tis-
sues of the diseased fruit. Wherever
it occurs the presence of this fungus
is shown by the production of clusters
of ash-gray spores on the surface of
the diseased tissues. In passing
through almost any of our prune or
chards when the green fruit is being
picked, one may see here and there a
prune that is partly or wholly covered
with this ash-gray or blue-gray mold.
If one of these prunes be examined, it
may be observed that the mold occurs
in clusters, which are frequently ar
ranged in more or less concertric
circles. If these circles be examined
by a small hand lens, it can be seen
that they are made up of an immense
number of thread-like projections. and
if these projections be examined by
strong microscope, it will be found
that they are composed of a great num-
Der of small oval bodies joined end to
end like a string of beads. These
minute bodies are the seeds of the
fungus, and every infested fruit is
capable of producing hundreds of
thousands of them, their deyelopement
being favorable in either dry or moist
air. 1t is for this reason that the fre-
quent sorting of fruit in frnit bins
it conld soon be disposed of and de-
stroyed, but it is carried over year by
year by the leaving of dried and rottenS
fruit on the branches of the orchard
trees. These winter fruit mummies
hang on trees all winter, and nourish
the brown rot fungus until it can take
its hold upon the green fruit in the
spring. The careless dumping of rot
ten fruit in the orchard is another
way in which brown rot may be made
permanent.
The best cure for the disease Is the
destroying of the fruit mummies. Not
a single one should be left in the or
chard; nor should any decayed fruit be
dumped near the trees. Another way
to destroy the fungus is by spraying
the trees in the early spring with a
solution of copper sulphate, one pound
to 25 gallons of water Then when the
bloom begins to shed, spray with Bor-
deaux mixture. and when fault begins
to color, spray with copper acetate

RAPIDLY NEARING COMPLETION.
Davidson's Big Saw Mill will Open in
a Few Days.
On or about June 1st Davidson g
big saw mill will begin operations and
from that time on will turn out some-
thing like $50, 900 feet of lumber daily.
The big mill is almost completed,
although many improvements will be
made in the near future. Later con-
siderable new machinery will be put
in making it one of the largest and
most completely equipped plants in
Oregon. AS yet their facilities for
getting logs to the mill are not the
best, however, work of blasting OBJ
structions out of the White Salmon
river and putting Hood river in shape
so that logs can be driven down these
streams, is being pushed as rapidly as
possible, and in the near future these
difficulties will be overcome so that an
abundance of.fine timber can be fuated
down to the Columbia and towed to
the mill.
In all probability about four hundred
men will be employed getting out
timber and operating the mill, which
will be big thing for the town of
Hood River. A payroll like this and
abundant fruit crops with good prices
will make Hood River one of the live
liest little towns in the state. Con-
siderable real estate is changing hands
at present and it is more than likely
many new homes, as we'll as places of
business, will be built up in that town
during the summer.

From the suIu Islands.

A young surgeon in the United States
navy, writing to Brattleboro friend from
the Sulu islands, gives an impression of the
country different, perhaps, from that held
by many people. he says:
We have been here several days. 1t is
wonderful. The entire Sulu archi-
pelago is very fertile, about the best small
islands in the Philippines. The people are
all MOhammedans. About three centuries
ago some Arabs wandered into these is
lands and in the Malay country and con-
verted the entire outfit TO the faith. The
Sultan of Sulu is young man and has
numerous wives and slaves. Jolo, where
our soldiers are, is walled and fortified
town, with very pretty groves and gardens.
The Spanish never left the walls for 100
years, and were always at war. Our Off
GERS go all over the island without arms,
and attend weddings, funerals, ETC., all the
time. The British North Borneo company
is very anxious to get hold of the Sulu
archipelago. Borneo is the largest island
in the world, and at the same time the
poorest. Even the Dutch have failed to
make their colony pay in the southern half
of the island, and where they fail nobody
else need try.

tor---Plan for an "OId Home Weeku
at the Time OF Dedication.
Col. E. G, Benton of Boston. chairman
of the Dewey monument committee. saws
the treasurer now has about $4,000. with
several subcommittee not heard from.
The subcommittee are organized in every
large city and nearly every state in the
Union. The statue will be of marble or
bronze, the choice being left to Admiral
Dewey.
The statue of Ethan Allen is of marble.
and was made in Vermont by Larkin G.
Mead, formerly of Brattleboro. Mr. Mead
is now in Italy, and while the Admiral
was returning home the two gentlemen
met at Florence. Mr.. Mead. on his own
responsibility, took several photographs of
the Admiral and also a number of meas
urements of the Admirars facle features
There is quite general understanding that
Mr.. Mead is to be the sculptor.
1t is the intention of the committee to
erect the statue within year, if possible
The matter of delay will be on the part of
the sculptor, and not from financial rea-
sons, says Col. Benton.
The unwilling will be made one of the
greatest events in the history of Vermont.
The program as now outlined is to follow
the suggestion made this year by Gov. Rol-
Inns of New Hampshire and have an "old
home week. in Vermont, such as New
Hampshire had last August.
The matter has progressed so far that
several of the subcommittee in Buffalo.
Cleveland and Chicago are talking of 60.
ing on to Montpelier in special trains, and
1t is possible that special trains will be run
from points much further West, so that
the whole country will contribute to the
occasion.
