C~ultivatlng and Manuring Fruit Jfeos.
It is probably a fact that pear trees
! well titled and well MANFRED are more
susceptible to the blight than trees not
tertilized and left to grow In sod. Yet
the fruit on such trees is correspond
Ilngly poor, and it is doubtless better
to cultivate and fertilize and take the
chances with the blight. It makes q
great difference with the fruit whether
tho tree has been properly looked after
and nourished or not. Some speak Of
the sizes Of fruit as being fixed and we
see statements that such q fruit is of
medium or large size as the case may
be. But the experience Of the writer
Is that the size varies according to the
soil and condition in which the tree
Is produced. The writer has in mind
two fruits that he has seen greatly
modified by cultivation. He remem-

over the two county places of printer

Linn county has it's convention tomor-
row and the primaries leading up to it
have been a grand scramble. The county

Globe and champion chaser of brass

SOLVES PROBLEM OF
AERIAL NAVIGATION
SantOS-DumOnt Has Complete
Control of His Balloon.
GOES IN ANY DIRECTION
DETAILS OF A RECENT TRIP HE
MADE THROUGH THE AIR.

New York Aug. 5.-The Herald pub
fishes. a dispatch from its Paris cor
respondent to the effect thas if any
doubt stiIl fingered as to the perfect
"steerability" Of NJ. Santos-Dumont's
balloon it must have been dispened by
the latest ascension. Continuing. the
Paris correspondent gives the follow
ing additional details:
When about 150 metres up in the
air the young aerOnaut discovered that
too Jealous workman had securely
knotted the cord that controls the
guide rope which governs the plane
OF direction Of his airship. Before ne
could hberate this cord. as the guide
rope was catching in the trees Of the
Boie de BoulOgne. he had to sacrifice all
mis- ballast in order to get clear of the
ground, or rather of the tree tops. Tn
der such conditions he did not care to
venture over Paris where a descent
might have become unavoidable. owing
to the lack of ballast.
These little drawbacks, however,
are Of minor Importance and simply
delayed the official attempt to vln Nj.
DeUtsch's prize. What NJ. Santos-Du-
mont has achieved is in itself quite sl.f-
heient to convince the most s1epticaI
that he is absolutely master of his bal

OIL IN ASPEN TUNNEL.
Two Hundred Barrels Taken Out in

Especial to The Herald

Evanston. Wyo., Aug 81 z. Neb-
eTgall Of Omaha. who claims the oil in
the Aspen hill tunnel, on the ground
of mineral location, states that not less
than 200 barrels of oil have been run
out Of the tunnel in the last ten days
Consequently there is great excitement
in the neighborhOod.
Much of the land filed upon in the
vicinity and throughout the Spring val
ley fields cannot be purchased at any
price. the owners believing there is a
great future in store for the fields A
month ago, however, tracts of oil land
could be obtained at very reasonable
figures. Experts from California,
Texas, Pennsylvania and Indiana are
now on the ground, and all are highly
pleased with the indications. Some OF
these men predict that this section viii
be the scene Of great oil boom inside
of twelve months.
The oil that is flowing into the Aspen
tunnel see2s through a crevice in the
north side Of the tunnel. The Neber-
gals of Omaha have filed on the claim,
and are arranging to sink a well imme-
diately north of the spot TO tap the
flow. The point at which oil is running
into the tunnel is less than 400 feet be-
low the surface of the hill.
