Washington. Dec. 1i.-Clearly and
emphatically. federal license for the
trusts Is urged by Secretary OF Com
merce and Labor V. II. Metcalf In his
annual report THE time is ripe for
congress, by means OF appropriate
affirmative legislation, to assume such
supervision or control" he says.
"The inadequacy Of state legislation
to regulate or control In any proper
measure the corporations engaged IN
Interstate commerce has been most
clearly demonstrated. The great rail-
way systems and the greater industrtaI
corporations extending their operations
through many states. some throughout
the entire United States, are but nori-
nally supervised or controlled by the
states from which their charters were

Mr. MOSS was passenger on the

WILL ENFORCE
FRUIT LAWS
Inspector Mohl Ready for q Vigorous
Campaign.

William MOhl, district fruit inspector
Is in the city from his Clifford home
and will remain here for some time
looking after the winter inspection Of
the fruit trees in the orchards of the
valley
Il have begun the work this early"
said Mr.. MOhl today, because in the
four years Of experience l have had
with the inspection, pruning and spray
ing of trees in this valley have noticed
that we are always too late with the
workin the sprii,g, and the sap and
foliage are too far advanced when the
work is done for the best results to OBJ
tain.
Il will begin the inspection this week
and will send out the notices. All will
be treated alike and the law rigidly en-
forced. We will start early and have
a thorough cleaning up.
Less San Jose Scale.
THE orchards of the valley are in
good shape, and We want to continue
there is now less than ten per cent of
the scale that there was four years ago
in the trees of the Lewiston orchards
Still some scale exists and nothing
short of eternal vigilence will hold ii
in check"
Will Spray in the Spring.
Mr.. Mohl will continue in the city
for several weeks. In addition to the
| work of inspection he has the care OF
many orchards for winter pruning, and
if the usual open weather prevails IN
January and February he will start the
spraying of the trees in order to have
| the work in the valley out of the way
when the orchards of the upper coun.
| try demand his attention.
There are many orchards now in tht
reservation country just coming ii/t
bearing. and it is necessary to safe
guard these against infection from frui
pests.

LITTLE ALoNzo WILCOX DEAD.

Alonzo Wilcox passed away at
the home of his grandparents. Mr..
and Mrs. j. f. hayden, on the
lith inst, at $40, a. M. little
Alonzo died, apparently of heart
failure, superinduced by MEM
braues Group. On the Tuesday
evening before he had seemed in
disposed, and later seemed quite
well again,
On Wednesday morning he was
not feeling we'll, but no alarm was
felt until about Is o'clock on
Thursday morning, from which
time on he grew rapidly worse
until the end came. His death
comes ms a shock to all.
The funeral services were held
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Nav
den and were conducted by Rev.
Mclean. The little casket was
heaped high with beautiful flow
ers brought in by kind friends as
a last tribute of love to the little
lad whom all had loved so we'll.
Deceased was the eldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. David =. Wilcox
and was five years and Is days of
age. Only a few days before his
death he had been planning on
another winter when he should
be old enough to attend school,
but the Heavenly Father saw fit
to remove him to the Home above
where earthly lessons are not
needed. One of the features of
the service was the youthful pal
bearers, who were friends of the
little one. They were: George
Farrell, George Ainsworth. Lee
Wilcox and Edgar Lee.
The heartfelt sympathy of theil
many friends is rendered the be
reaved ones in this hour of sor
row,

DRILLING FOR ARTEsIAN.

Dave Richmond and Sam Hun
ter have made a very fine piece of
machinery in the way of "A we'll
digger, which seems to do the
work to perfection. Hunter fur
nished the knowledge and Rich
mond the material. They have
started in to dig for artesian wa
ter in the yards back of Rich
mond's barn and if they succeed
they will move the machine to
Hunters residence and try for
water there. The water in some
of the wells around town gets so
bad in the fall that it is almost
impossible to use them and they
have decided to see if they can't
overcome that by drilling for ar.
tesian water. IL they get what
they are looking for there will nc
doubt be more wells drilled and
Saratoga will he supplied with ar.
tesian water instead of so many
ten foot wells that are not fit fol
use when they get low in the fall
This is not the case with all o
the wells but there is a few her,
and there all over the city tina

CHAMBERS.

The report that CHAMBERS had
again broken out here is entirely
false as DR.. Seabury has just left
here after IA most thorough clean
ing up of that disease. DIR. Seabury
stated when he went away that he
might have to come back here in
the fall and again look after IA few
that might be infected but al this
time there is no sign of the di-
sease at all and there has been no
report to hat effect sent out from
here unlesss it was a malicious
one and sent by some one who did
il on purpose. DIR. Seabury went
from here to Laramie where he
was going to establish n quaran-
tine at the experiment station as
the horses there we're showing
signs of the CHAMBERS. 1t was re-
ported that they had broken on,
in Crook county and that DIR
Seabury was call there, but as tc
it's breaking out here again, that
is all false.
