THAT PLAGUED scALE
Fruit and Roses of Oregon Threat
ened by Pest.

That our fruit trees and fine
shrubs of all kinds are in danger
of complete determination goes
without saying. In fact there is
no doubt OF it and that destruc-
ton is wrought by the ever in
creasing San Jose scale. And
1yet our people pay no heed 10 the
matter-that is, take the people
as whole.
We are quite reliably informed
that there is a law on the statute
books of Oregon for the purpose
of compelling people to keep
their trees and shrubs healthy,
and yet nothing is done save BY
a few. 1t avails one orchardist
but little to attempt to keep his
orchard free from San Jose scale
if his ne1ghbor adjoining allows
Iscaleto multiply at will. For
years a few fruit-growers in the
state have realized the deadly
work wrought by the San Jose
scale and have fought it to the
best of their ability yet with little
result because others would allow
it to multiply.
In the course Of a year this
scale multiplies itself three mill
lion times. For years it did not
seem to threaten anything SER
ious, but in time on a basis of
such rapid propagation it gets to
asgoing some" and this is now
coming to be recognized in all its
seriousness.
No matter how many laws we
have on the statutes for the regu-
lation of a given thing, public
sentiment must justify them or
they are dead letters. So it has
been.in the past as regards San
Jose scale-it lacked sentiment
against. So long as a mans or
chard is all right he SCOTS at the
idea of deadly pests, no matter
what the condition of his next
doos neighbor's trees. But let
his own orchard begin to fail and
his faith in the deadly effects of
scale and other things begins to-
increase and he become an earn
est inquirer for effective sprays
and the like.
| At present nearly every orchard
from the head of the willamette
Valley clear to Portland is infect
ed by this scale and from now on
we shall find an astonishing
growth of sentiment favoring al
prosecution OF the law intended
for protection against allowingl
San Jose scale to spread at will,
The roses that have made Ore
gon famous are dying off and the
beauty of our world is threatened
In addition to our-fruits. We
must wake up in the valley and
follow the example of such sec
tions as Hood River. In this
great fruit raising valley when
scale is discovered the work of
determination is at once COM
menced. If spraying will not
destroy the scale, then the tree is
cut down and burned, it matters
not whose. tree or shrub it is nor
where it is located. 1t is for the
protection Of all that this is done
and sentiment sees that it is done.
Here self-preservation upholos.

the San Jose scale is now spread

be but eight years until we have
no fruit. Surely it is time to
act. Get your spray pumps and
get busy.

Live Stock Market.

(Reported for Nugget by Clay, Rob-
inson & Co.. Chicago, November 13.--
Receipts of rangers last week totaled
about 31,0O0 and closing prices showed
l0@l2 cts decline on practically all
grades with common steers suffering
the most. The run for the week was
considerably larger than anticipated.
Although it was supposed that the sup
ply of western steers had been nearly
exhausted, there was big run of 1000
again on Monday which was rather
more than the trade required. Good
steers we're scarce aud about steady
while all other grades ruled weak TO
10 cts lower. Our sales included 80
head of 1897 10 Wyomlngs for J. Rea at
$450, but not many sales were noted
above 1886. A big portion of the run
consisted of Montanas which had been
held back on account of the car short
age.
Although receipts of sheep we're
rather moderate, last weeks trade had
weak tone throughout and closing
values we're 5O@75 cts lower on most
classes of sheep and about 90 cents
lower on all grades of lambs. With
10000 on sale Monday sheep trade
ruled slow at last weeks reduction,
best medium weight muttons going at
$3.50, while few lots of fancy year
Iings reached $3.50. Fancy range sheep
were scarce and the demand for all
grades of westerns was slack. The
lamb trade was strong for few fancy
lots but otherwise rather slow. Best
feeders went at S6.25. Although sup
plies in sight are comparatively light
most appearances point to downward
trend of prices.
The hog market still has downward
tendency, closing values showing cts
decline. Top for the week was s5.121S.

John Toy Dead.

Mrs. Mills has received letter this
week from Mrs. John Toy, whose hus-
band died in Salt Lake last month, Civ
ing the particulars of his death.
1t seems Mr.. Toy took slighl cold in
July, which terminated in bronchitis.
Seven weeks ago he was taken to Salt
Lake to hospital, but thought there
was nothing alarming, having several
doctors. But the disease ran into
quick consumption and he died on the
9th of Octob +. He was buried Sun
day the 29ih, at Mount Olivet, the
order of L. 0. o. F. having charge of
the services, of which she speaks very
highly. He was laid away in strange
city aud strange land, but not with
out marked respect.
Mr.. Toy was a member of the local
order of l. o. 0. F. aud was we'll known

Hypnotism for Tobacco.

Bereznitsky strongly advocates the
employment of hypnotism in the treat
ment of drunkenness, the morphine and
tobacco habits. The author argues.
says the New York Medical Journal,
that there are no drugs which can be
hoped to cure these habits, and that
modern medicine has found the most eff
ficient means of combating them by
mental suggestion. In connection with
alcoholism and the combat against it in
various countries, he mentions the pro-
hibition laws existing in some of our
states, but adds that such laws would be
impossible in European countries. The
governments of the American states
which prohibit the sale of liquor rightly
calculate that the loss in revenue which
is entailed by such laws is compensated
to the state by the increased healthful-
ness of the population. On the other
hand, the government monopoly of the
liquor traffic as it exists in some coun-
tries (e. 6. Russia), not only does not di-
minish the evil, but prevents it's proper
control He advocates the establish
ment of outdoor services where alco-
holism can be treated hypnotically and
of sanatorias, ETC., where the worst
cases can be confined for time also
under hypnotic treatment. AS regards
the treatment of the tobacco haIit he
advises that tobacco be prohil tied en-
tirely as soon as the treatment is be-
gun. No bad effeoss result from such
sudden removal of this drug ss are noted
in the case of opinm. Hypnotism easily
cures the tol acco hatit, but the crres are.
not often permanent, as smokers re-
sumo the habit more easily tlan other
drug habitues. They do not regard this
habit as seriously as do morphine eat
ers. The results of treatment with hyp-
notism in alcoholics have been various
ly stated at from 20 to so per cent. of
cures. The author thinks that 30 per
cent is the correct estimate, and that
the high figures given by some ohserv-
ers are due to enthusiasm over a new
method of treatment. But even 80 per
cent of cures is a satisfactory result in
alcoholism, a condition which so stub
bornly resists treatment by other
means

According to a recent work on Nor

country is explained by some of the
country people as follows: At the crea-

it was to scatter the soil forgot Nor

of the land made complaints to the Crea-
