vided they file new application
for the examination in which they
failed, at least ten days prior to
the date on which the examination
is held. An examination will be
held in Portland April 9, and all
who desire to put in application
for examination should write to the
department at Washington for ap-
plication blanks, ETC., at once, in
order that they may be filed with
the commission in time. As clerks
in the departmental service are ap-
pointed according to the apportion-
ment of the various states, and the
Western states have never taken
up their full apportionment,
favorable opportunity is now given
to Oregon stenographers and type
writer's to obtain positions. At the

held covering abtut so different

acting business. What is known
as the west side of the Willamette
valley is practically without ade-
quate railroad facilities, SO poor is
the railroad service that more pas
sengers leave on the boats at Cor
Wallis i'll one day than 60 on the
trains in a week. A person wish
ing to go to Salem can get there
travelling on the boat four or five
hours earlier than by train. The
mail service is SO poor, owing to
inadequate car service, that all mail
from the east side or southern part
of the state is delaye ed from "a to
4S hours before it can be delivered
to points on the west side. An
open river means better river SER
vice which will bring also better
railroad facilities. The people Of
the Willamette valley should with
unanimity urge through their rep
resentatives in congress ample ap-
preparations to enable all improve
ments on the Willamette liver to
be made at an early date SO that
the river will be open to rapid
river transportation during the
whole year.

Fruit Crop Benefited.

Colonel HI. E. Dosch, secretary of
of the state board of horticulture,
gives it as his opinion that the fruit
crop has been benefited by the re-
cent cold snap:
Fruit, generally speaking, was
not far enough advanced for the
freeze to blast the buds only SO
far as to prove benefit by thinning
the buds. It also gave the fruit
a setback which will likely
carry the blooming season past the
cold spring rains, which is the real
source of peril.
Nature" said Colonel Dosch, Gin
bringing the late freeze at this time
of the year, is very kind to Oregon,
because our fruit trees have a ten
dency to set too many buds which
the trees can never mature. A
thinning out process is necessary to
save the tree from breaking be-
meath the weight of the fruit and
to give the remaining fruit a chance
to develop properly. This thinning
is generally accomplished by hand,
and is laborious process. That is
the reason say nature is kind to
us. Besides nature does the work
thoroughly by wedding out only
the weaker buds and leaving the
harder ones to develop. Another
advantage is the fact that the trees
by being thinned now give all their
sustenance to the remaining buds,
while in order to be thinned by
hand, the orchardist would have to
wait until the fruit had formed.
Therefore, the freeze has proven
timely in several ways. just when
the buds were ready to quicken,
they have been given check by
the freeze, which, in all probability
will carry the blossoming season
over the cold spring rain period.
The late cold rains menance the
prospects of fruit more than almost
any other agency. If the fruit
weathers those storms, it is an
assured sl1ccass -
