The Automobile Bill.

1t is not known whether Representa-
tive Buchanan, of Wapello county will
make another effort to secure the pas
sage of an automobile law this. session
or not. He introduced bill last SEES
sion for the purpose of regulating the
speed of automobiles on the public
highway, and it was discussed at great
length, and a number of amendments
were made. but the bill did not be-
come law Mr.. Buchanan was inter-
ested in several other important meas

passage Of most Of the bills which he
introduced.
Wapeiio County,s Committees
Senator Harper, of ,Wapello county,
will be one of the leading men in the
senate; this session. 1t is not known
what committee chairmanship he will
receive, but he is the ranking member
of the committee on cities and towns.
This is the committee. which; Senator
TreWin had for two sessions. and is a
very important one. Senator Harper
has not signified what committee he
prefers, and he may take some other
charm anship rather than that of cities
and towns, inasmuch as it is somewhat
probable that Representative Buchan-
an of the same county will have the
committe on municipal corporations,
which is the corresponding committee
in the house.
1t Is probable that measure will be
introduced again this session proyid-
ing for the loaning of state money to
the banks at interest, instead of CIV
ing them deposits without interest, as
is done at present This has been at
tempted several times, but, thus far
without success; Several bills along
this line were introduced last session,
but none of them ever came to asXote,
being killed in the committee.

Considerable surprise was expressed
in political circles when it was found
that A.. w. Buchanan had not been
chosen speaker pro TEN by the house
legislative Caucus. It had been quite
generally understood that his selec-
ton was practically agreed to when
the compromise was reached looking
to the selection of Mr.. Clarke as the
speaker without opposition. '%5
It is believed among the politicians
that the outcome merely indicates
that the friends of the administration
determined that nothing of Importance
should be given the reservation and
as the preservation" was not organic
ed to make a fight everything went by
default and in the shuttle.

Fruit Tree Shipments.

For the past week or ten days fruit
trees, mostly peach, have been ex-
pressed out of Tyler on almost every
train, going in as many different di-
rections.
The different nurseries around Tyler
are reporting business as good, and
from the large number of shipments
being made by them, there is to be a
heavy setting out of fruit trees this
fall.
During the months of November and
December are the setting outr

Why the Delay.

> The Herald is informed that the
reason the Burton and Stafford cases
have not yet been set for trial in Dali
las, is because the present district at
torney is going out of office, and it
was his desire to clear up the docket
of the cases now docketed before he
steps down and out. He entered pro-
test against the above cases, stating
they did not properly belong to the
Dallas court, anyway.
1t is expected the cases will go to
trial soon after the new district attor-
Rey is sworn in.

Last Saturday a short editorial was
reprinted in these columns. taken from
the Telluride journal 1t referred
to the letter sent by Judge Parker
the Democratic candidate for presi-
dent. stating his position on the
money question to the national con-
vention. The Journal usually broad
minded commended the act and said
that Democracy had reason to be
proud of the man that showed such
robust manliness. The journal be-
ing Republican paper shows that
it has sufficient courage to recognize
true manliness. even if it comes
from the opposition party. This is
vastly different from some of the pee
wee Republican organs that, believe
that the government of the United
States was created for the Republican
party alone and that to assume that
Democracy should at any time be
triumphant, was to contemplate a dis
aster to great to even be thought of
for momert. From everywhere
comes words of praise for Judge Par
ker, who is deemed man of high
worth, one who would fill the presi-
dental chair with as great ability as
any president who may have preced-
ed him in years.

Reference has been made many
times by this paper 70 the fact thai
Colorado Public school students,
speaking generally. are poor spoilers.
1t is not because of any incapacity on
the part of the scholars but the man.
ner in which orthography is taught
in the schools today Time and time
again this paper tried to impress up-
on the PRINCIPALS of the schools of
this city. the great Importance OF
spelling, but 1t has not been given
half the attention it deserves We
believe, if we can recollect correctly,
that scholars are taught spelling by
'association". The old method of
sitting down and committing to mem
! ory the manner in which words are
spelled had been abandoned for sorne
time at least There may be a change
now. Anyhow. in examining the
law of 1901 ON irrigation matters,
dozens of words are mispelled in this
law as printed. This was extremely
embarrassing to those who were com
PEELED to submit the law for reading
to eastern INVESTORS. The fact is that
the old men of today were vastly bet
ter spoilers in their boybood than are
the average boys of today. and it was
due wholly to the system under which
orthography was taught. With mod
ern methods of doing business, when
nearly all the letter writing is done
by dictation to stenographers, it is
absolutely essential that children
who intend to enter business life
should be good spoilers. The Posi- of
Denver enumerates number of words
misspelled in the session law referred
to above. that any school boy should
be able to spell, after he has reached
the Seventh grade. The Sentinel

Will Interest Fruit Men.

DR.. S. NJ. Bradbury hands the fol-
lowing TO The Sentinel. as a matter
of important information to fruit
growers
The article is by Prof. w. Paddock.
botanist at the State Agricultural Col
lege at Fort Collins:
''On recent trip through the coun-
ties of Garfield. Mesa. Delta and Mon
trose, l was much interested IN not
ing the extent of injury caused by
pear blight in the different sections.
In all of these counties save Mesa
blight is abundant and has done a
great amount of damage to the pear
and apple orchards. 1t is now positive.
ly known that this disease is caused
by species of bacteria that grows in
the cambium, or growing layer of
the trees. The injuries that the dis
ease does are known by different names
as twig, blossom and body blight, ac-
ed
But all of these forms re.produced
by the same organism.
1t is also known that insects carry
the germ of the disease and it is
thought that they are the principle
means of distributing tho disease from
tree to tree. Since the disease is con-
fined in its attack to the tissues under
the bark it is practically impossible
to combat it with sprays and washes.
The only remedy left then is to cut
olt and burn the affected branches as
soon as they are detected
DIR. Bradbury informs me that
/ blight appeared iu the vicinity of
Grand Junction four years ago.
But by promptly removing the affect
ed branches the disease has been held
in check. though little of it appears
each season. The Doctor tells me
that the owners of some of the or
ciards where blight has appeared are
not as energetic in removing tho dis
eased parts as they should be. They
do not realize that if left to itself
blight will soon destroy most of the
pear trees in the valley and seriously
injure the apple orchards. 1t would be
good thing if some of your orchard
men could visit some of the near by
points where pear blight may be seen
at its worst. l am sure that the re-
suit would be that public sentiment
would be aroused to such pitch that
all would be on the lookout for the
blight and when it did appear all
other duties would be suspended till
every trace of the disease was destroy
ed. 1t will not do to fancy that your
locality will be immune from pear
slight. 1t is doing great damage all
around you and it already has a
start in your midst. If neglected in
the least it is liable any season to get
beyond control and sweep over your
fair orchards like fire. How impor-
tant it is then to assist the work of
the inspector in every wav by report
ing suspected cases promptly and to
leave nothing undone that will tend
to keep this dread pest under control
