Smiths Spray Formula

Hon. 4. l.. Smith, OF Hood River, has
given to the fruit growers Of the country
his formula for spray which he says
his long experience in apple growing
teaches him is the most effective pro-
lection to orchards against pests. II is
herewith given.
Mr.. Smiths opinions on all subjects
connected with our fruit culture are
worthy OF acceptance, for he is in this,
as in all other relations to public in
terests, as well as private life, an in
telligent, perseyering, worthy man.
His is not alone theoretical experience
for he has laboled with his hands in his
orchards for many years, demonstrating
with high degree Of intelligence the
many different methods Of treatment of
orchards, young and old, involving such
questions as preparation OF the soil
planting, cultivation, pruning, spraying,
etc., until his knowledge IS practical in
the most literal sense, and this Is why
his opinions have, and should have,
great weight with those who are inter
ested in the production Of fruit, especial
ly apples, either as producers themselves
or as citizens Of OREGON, in maintaining
the high standard OF merit the Oregon
apples have attained.
The efforts Of such men are invalu able
in the development Of our state, and
will be insepsrable from its future
history. The formula:
White arsenic, one pound salsoda

They Flee To The Mountains.

II the weather bureau is fighting in hard
luck these days and giving us a Spanish
lottery Of hay weather, sweltering human
ity in New York is skurrying to the White
Mountains and nearby resorts in Maine.
The famous "White Mountain express,
running over the New York, New Haven, q
Hartford, the Central Vermont and Bos-
ton & Maine railroads, is crowded daily.
The northbound mountain express pulled
into White River Junction last Thursday
with twelve cars, one baggage, nine obser-
walton parIor cars and three day coaches.
Two of these cars are daily taken over the
Central Vermont for the through western
connections.
Vermont is also catching a portion OF
the multitude looking for air and freedom
in this section of the country, none the
less beautiful and picturesque, if less IA
nous, than the mountain resorts OF our
sister state to the east.
Lake Champlain hotels, Bread Loaf Inn
in Middlebury, Hyde Manor, Sudbury,
the Equinox House at Manchester, the
Woodstock Inn, the Maplewood at the
Center and many others are having "a
good season. just at present. Although
overcoats are not uncommon in the CEN
tiers of population people are fast realizing
that there are attractions among the Green

nickles and coppers with no uncertain grip

strain on his pockets by effecting an ex-
change OF fractional currency for bank
notes, whose weight would not prove bur-
densome in tramping to the next town

sets towards this country when an Italian
organ grinder can in one day pick up

CHAPTER XlII.

When Jones had to grapple with an
enraged bull, metaphorically speak
ing, it was his custom, and most
excellent one, too, to seize the animal
by the horns, and thus have a fair
chance to pit his strength against
the power OF the beast.
So it was in this case.
The apparent presence of Frances
chief executive in Mentone accentu-
ated matters, and promised to bring
about speedy crisis.
Should the deep-laid plans of the
revolutionists meet with success over
the border would fash into existence
a bright flame which, spreading
across the country, would blaze up
like a prairie fire until it reached
Paris; and that gay, thoughtless cap
ital, always eager for a change, would
make the heaven echo with shouts OF
acclaim to the new emperor.
It was critical hour for the life
of the French republic.
Jones had decided upon his course
of action, and, like wise general,
meant to meet the tricky advance Of
the enemy by a counter movement.
His first design was to gain an in
terview with the president.

president stood leaning upon q stone

The World Asked to Relieve South
Africa.

Amsterdam. Sept. 25.-The Boef
generals. Botha. DeWet and Delarey
have issued q manifesto in the shape
of an appeal to the civilized world.
This document recalls how, after tho
terrible struggle in South Africa, and
the Beers were compelled to accept
the British terms of peace, the gen.
erals were commissioned to proceed
to England to appeal to the new gov
eminent to allay the distress which is
devasting the colonies and, In the
event of failure Of the mission 10
appeal to the civilized world for
charitable contributions.
Continuing, the generals say tina,
having failed to induce Great Britain to
grant further assistance 1t only re,
mains for them to address themselves
to the people of Europe and America.
After setting forth how sweet it had
been during the critical days they
had passed through, to receive con-
slant marks of sympathy. the generals
take this opportunity to express, on
behalf Of the people OF the late re.
publics, fervent thanks to those who
had assisted so charitably the women
and children in the concentration
camps, prisoners, etc.
THE small Boer nation" goes on the
manifesto, "can never forget the help
1t received in its dark hours of suf.
fering. Our people are completely
ruined. 1t has been impossible to
make complete inventory, but We
are convinced that at least 10000
houses on Boer farms and many VII.
lagos were burned or destroyed and
the country completely laid waste. The
war demanded many victims, the lan1s
in tears and our orphans and widows
abandoned. We are appealing to the
world for contributions to assist the
destitute and help in the education
of children"
The generals repudiate all desire
to infiame the minds Of the people
and declare.
The sword is now sheathed and all
differences are silent in the presence
OF such great misery
They say the small amount givon
by Great Britain if even multiplied
ten fold would not suffice to cover
the war losses alone
I'VE solicit the hearty cooperation
of all existing committees in the var
ious countries which We are on the
point Of visiting with the object Ct
establishing satisfactory organiza-
ton

claimed.
yes, Your excellency, and there
are others present who have been
watching you all the evening, with
very serious object in view"
Jones was delighted to discover
how calmly the president took his
news.
1t spoke well for his nerve.
OF course he was curious to know
who had recognized him, and why
they were SO deeply interested in his
welfare.
Jones told of the waylaid train,
the capture of q republican whose
name was a power in France, the
possible desire to seize upon the
president if he could be located on
the Nice express, and last but not
least, the gathering of the revolu-
tionary clans at Monte Carlo, and
their evident design to carry out
some desperate plan.
All Of which, condensed into a COM
paratively few paragraphs, constituted
sensation that might have well
aroused alarm in the breast OF the
bravest
The president did not seem to be
shaken.
OF course this steadiness delighted
the man who carried the news-if
there was one quality in the makeup
of humanity that he admired more
than another, it was the faculty
which so few men possess, of con-
trolling their emotions.
The Frenchman was a wonder in
his eyes, and Jones felt especially
proud to serve him.
Confidential relations seemed to
have been established between them.
as though the president had recog-
nized in Jones one gifted with au-
thority to look after the peace of Eu.
rope, and particularly of France, with
power to balk any and all desperate
games put into circulation by such
trouble makers as the shrewd Prin-
cess Olgavitch and her allies.

duced to a Skeleton.
A unique and interesting relic,
though gruesome enough in it's asso-
Citations, has been addei to the Erie
Library museum. 1t is the kettle in
which General Anthony Wayne's body
was reduced to a skeleton nearly a
century ago.
Through all the intervening years
it has been in the possession of de.
scendants of the General, and through
one of them, Major o. wv. Pollock, U.
S.sA., was obtained foy the museum.
1t was in the winter o. 1895, at Erie,
on his return fro.a making a treaty
with the Northwest 1ndi ans, that Gen
eral Wayne was prostra.ed with what
proved fatal illness. His body was
buried within the walls of the old
blockhouse which guarded the en-
trance to Erie. where he died, at the
foot of the Flagstaff. There 1t re-
NAMED undisturbed until 1909, when,
at the request Of daughter of the
General, his nephew, Colonel Isaac
Wayne, came to Erie to remove the
bones to the East, to be buried with
those of his family.
The Journey to Erie was made in
a two-wheeled carriage, the only kind
OF vehicle that the roads, or rather
tracks, Of the country then per-
mitted.
On trking up the body it was found
to be In an almost perfect state Of
preservation, and the hettle became
necessary to reduce the remains to a
