Growing of Cherries.

From Country LiSe m America.
From the commercial standpoint the de-
velopment of the cherry business has been
retarded by several important factors. The
handling of the oPehapd, and especially the
successful packing and marketing of the
crop, are more critical operations, and re-
ouire more skilled labor than Is the case
with other orchard fruits. The fungus which
causes the fruit to rot so easily just as il is
ripenmg II the weather is hot and moist
Also attacks the blossoms and the entire
crop is sometimes blasted. The early
growth and early bkossomins of the trees
predispose the crop 10 the fatal effects of
late spring fsosts. and the hbihty of the
body 10 sun-scald and barh-bursting on rich
or Improperly handled soils sometimes
makes the establishment of an orchard a
difficult Undertaking.
Sometimes the fruit on a single tree is
worth more than two or three acres of
wheat There ~ a tree in northern Della
ware seventy TO eighty years old, that has
produced an average of $50 worth of fruit
annually Sor nearly twenty years. One year

kets of delicious fruit, or about eleven hun

Extortion that would make some of Tam

was told about by George KEENAN,, in
speaking of Asiatic Russia at the meeting
OF the Quill Club held recently. That his re-
marks touched home was shown by the en-
thusfasm manifested by the audience. ~
"A case came to my notice in village
where great deal of wheat was raised"
ne said. The peasants there had been
selllng the wheat to a middleman, who
transported 1t down the river to the city
at large profit. The peasants determined to
snip their own wheat and bought several
lafges to do it. The middleman went to
tne chie1 Oh police when he heard of the
pan OF the peasants, and arranged with
MN scheme to stop the peasants from
gong further than thirty miles from their
homes, and thus prevent their transporting
thelr own crops. This was done by the
cme1 OF ponce stating to the peasants that
he had received orders from the govern
ment not to allow any one to leave without
an order on special bank. 1t was easy to
Say .hat the blanks had not arrived, and,
until late in the fall the peasants were
obliged to sell their wheat to the middle
man to get rid of it before the river closed.
Such extoruons are practiced without the
knoWleoge or the government on account
or the censorship of the press the press

be cause for the appearance of

continues of the sane opinion as
before that the root Of the evil is to
be found in the filthy condition Of
the old sewer. The city officials
carry a heavy responsibility in this
matter. It is not q question Of
financial policy or Of personal or
political expsdiency that they are
up against. The health, aye the
very lives of their own and their
nsighbor's families is, to a great
extent in their hands. If the
town is not now in the best possi-
hle sanitary condition it should be
madeso as spesdilyas possible and
on the men who have accepted the

including section 10 of Article Mi
of the city charter, rests the burden
of seeing that such work is prop

Commenting on the recent visit
of C. J. Mills, of the o. R. & N.Co,
to Prairie City, and his statement
to the people there that "You may
get railroad in here sooner than
you expect it." the Oregonian cor
respondent at that place says:
'The most natural pass for a road
through the Blue mountains, it is
claimed, is by the way of the head
waters of the John Day river and
across to the source of Burnt river.
1t is believed that the o. R. & N. is
planning road from some point
above The Dalles through this way
to Huntington. 1t would serve as
q cutoff for the main line and open
up q country rich in natural re-
sources"
II is probable that if this plan is
carried out the new road will leave
the main line at Arlington coming
via Condor and crossing the low
saddle, south east of here, into the
John Day country. This route has
been discussed for several years
and is considered by railroad men
as being perfectly feasible.
