never failiug artesian well and is sup
piled with all modern farm improve
ments. Mr.. Peck's place represents an

INFECTED FRUIT TREES.
A Strieent Law That Is Usually Not Enforced
In This State.

Il
/ In This State.
| Casual observations made in the
numerous small orchards in the vicinity
of North Yakima lead to the conclusion
that the scale infection is worse than il
has been for years. In consequence OF
this many fruit raisers lost considerable
money this summer, and unless better
precautions are taken next year to guard
against the spread Of this insect the in
dustry will become one that but few
| will want to enter into for it is well
known fact that where scale exists in
an orchard to any extent the marketable
production hardly pay. for harvesting.
In an orchard down beyond the fair
grounds the scale is SO bad that $1,000
crop is practically ruined. Good sized
trees that Bonded low from the weight
of fruit were so infected that not sound
apple could be secured from its branches.
This is true throughout good part Of
the orchard, though there are spots
where the scale is not seen. The owner
of this orchard said that last year he
used the carbolic acid preparations for
spraying, which proved complete fall
ure, though he admitted he did not
take the care with the fruit that he
should. In other orchards near there
the same conditions existed, while in
others there was scarcely any scale seen.
In the orchards about the city the scale
is exceedingly bad and is continually
spreading.
A number interested persons have
been questioned on the matter and they
are all of the opinion that carelessness
on the part Of some growers is the cause
of it. Many people do not spray at all,
and it is in these orchards that the scale
is bred and carried to other orchards by
birds and the wind. Next year some
measures will be taken to compel every
body to either attend to their fruit trees
or cut them down. The fruit inspector
will be in service all the time for good
part of next year and he means to en-
force the law. The law on this point is
clear and gives the inspector arbitrary
power in performing his duty. After
prescribing that the owners OF orchards
shall be notified the law says:
Chap. 1O9,-If any person so notified
shall neglect, or fail, to disinfect said
premises or property in the manner and
in the time prescribed in said:notice, the
person SO notified and failing to disinfect
the infected property or premises, shall
be deemed guilty OF misdemeanor, and
upon conviction thereof shall be fined
not less than five dollars nor more than
fifty dollars and cost of action in court,
which fine and costs shall be judge
ment lien upon said premises or pro-
perty.
This is strong enough to give the in
spector all the power that is necessary
to begin the ridance OF the scale from
this valley. The situation now is be-
coming alarming and it is better to be-
gin now when the pest can be COPIED with
than to wait till it gets beyond control.
The spread of the disease will cause peo-
pie to hesitate about planting new
orchards.

Two Hundred Thousand Dollars Estimated to Be the
Sum That Will Cover the Damage Caused
by the Devastating Flames.

OS GATOS, Oct. 13-This city was
visited by the most destructive
IRE in its history at an early hour
IL this morning, when the entire
business section of the town was
wiped out. The fire swept everything on
both the north and south sides of Main
street from the Southern Pacific Rail-
road tracks to the Los Gato5 Creek The
area covered by the fire is estimated at
about four acres. Property yariously
estimated in value at from $15O,OOO to
$zOO,oOo went up in smoke and all that is
lett to indicate where business blocks
once stood are charred timbers, smolder-
Inc walls, couple of brick ovens and
the Commercial Bank vault. Everything
else, even to the fire bell tower and the
bis twentypound bell, has disappeared.
1t took little more than one hour for
the flames to devour a dozen or more
business blocks, several manufactures
livery stable, church and many dwell
ing houses. The fire department was ut
terly poWerless to cope with the flames
which, Tanned by strong southerly
breeze, leaped from one building to an
other and stopped only when practically
all the fuel at hand had been exhausted
Injured During the Fire.
No fatalities marked the progress of
the confagration. There were a number
of persons injured, however. The man
most seriously hurt is named Lloyd He
was awakened from sleep in a small
room over Woods secondhand store and
found himself surrounded by fire. In
making his way to the street he was
frightfully burned about the head and
back and and had to be taken to the
County Hospital. A boy named See was
watching the fire when an ammonia tank
in Peppers butcher shop blew up. The
boy was struck on both legs by flying

fragments. He was carried into drug
store and his injuries were dressed. DR..
Rice, whose office was in the Commercial
Bank building, had his right hand badly
burned while moving personal effects
from his apartments. Jack Tudor was
also burned while trying to get out his
store fixtures. There were several Sc
we're explosions during the height of the
fire. A big gasoline tank blew up with
report that could be heard for miles.
The property owners have signifed
their intention of rebuilding Immediately
and undoubtedly the new buildings will
material. The only building that remains
standing between the railroad track and
the creek Is the public library. This
seemed in danger at one time and all the
books were taken out, but change of
the wind at an opportune moment saved
the structure.
Cause Is a Mystery.
AS yet no satisfactory conclusion has
been arrived at as to the origin of the
confiagration. The theory of incendiar-
ism is advanced by some, as there was no
fire kept in the building at that time of
night but so far nothing definite has
been proved
Great credit is due the firemen for
their successful efforts in saving the
bridge Had this been burned it would
have been a severe loss to the town. as
it affords the only connection over which
teams can pass between the east and
west side of town. This was the second
confa gra tion in the towns history. The
first occurred in July, 1891, when nearly
all of the business houses on the east
side of the bridge were destroyed. Since
that time the greater part of the business
of the town had been transacted on the
west side

THREE NEW OIL GUSHERS
STRUCK ON SPINDLE TOP

BEAUMONT, Tex. Oct. 13.-Three new
gushers have been added to the list of
wells on Spindle Top. The Hogg-Swayne
Syndicate's No. came in late last night.
The German-American Oil Company's
second well on Spindle Top came, in this
morning, spouting a steady stream of oil,
and the Houston-Beaumont Oil Company
brought in a gusher late this afternoon.
The flow of oil from the latter, which was
allowed to escape through a horizontal
pipe, was tremendous, tearing loose one
Joint of the hose on the air pipe and
throwing it aside
