He himself had an old apple tree about
seventy-five years old-which he repaired,
putting in several barrels of cement where
1t had decayed.
BY way of showing its appreciation of
the attention, it promptly put forth so
much new wood close to the filed cavity

Clark advises that the tree doctor be called

than Edwards an Example OF what
Can BE DOnc-Famous Trees That
Might Easily Have Been Preserved.
Up around Northampton, Mass, tree
doctoring is carried on to an extent which
would make some New Workers open their
eyes. The consequence is that, even in a
State which is rich in fine old trees, this
particular region is famous.
Century old elms are not only too numer-
OILS to be mentioned, but also too numerous
to attract Individual notice. There are a
good many magnificent trees which have
seen 80 years of growth and few which
are well on to the 200 year mark. Thanks
to the tree doctor, they will probably add at
least another century to their existence.
The most conspicuous example in North
ampton Of the modern method of dealing
with a disabled tree is the Edwards elm.
1t was set out more & an l50 years ago, by
jonathan Edwards himself
The famous old preacher lived in North
emnton a score or more of years. and this
Elm he planted in front of his house. blouse
and preacher have long since moulded
away but the old tree still stands.
The profession of tree doctoring de-
reloped too late, though, to save the old
Tree in a hale and hearty condition. 1t
was eaten by insects, decayed and shattered
before public interest was reused to keep
what was left.
By that time the trunk was so far gone
mat 100 barrels of cement was packed
INTO it before it was considered ready for
Timing over. 1t will not live great many
years even now, for the work of repair was
100 long delayed.
The rehabilitation Of the Edwards elm
would have cost $50 if the tree doctor
mad Charged regular prices FOR it. Being
public work, that was not done. But
o'ter trees have been repaired in and
around northampton at 500 each.

Paris, April 12.-The tension be-
tween France and Germany over Mo-
rocco continues to be the burning ques-
ton of the hour, but it has been much
relieved by the reassuring statements
which Foreign Minister Delcasse made

of the possibilities of war, Such a
eventuality is not considered in any
serious quarter, although it is recog.

ement between France and Germany
have been put off many years by the
renewed bitterness the incident has
aroused.

Marketing the EQgs.

Eggs should be gathered every day
in summer and oftener in winter. I'M
less the hen house Is warm enough
so that the eggs will not freeze and
burst the shell. Put the eggs into a
basket with the small end down until
ready to PACK in boxes for shipping
and keep in a cool room. Then pack in
the box with the card board separa-
tors, with the small end down. They
will keep fresh longer If packed in this
way than If put into the boxes in a
haphazard manner. The reason for
this is found in the fact that the yolk
cannot settle to the shell when the
small end Is put down and the air
cannot strike the yolll as long as it
does not touch the shell. When eggs
bring good price 1t is better to sell
the eggs than to raise chickens to sell,
for the profit is good and there is not
SO great an outlay. BY all means raise
chickens when eggs do not bring u
very good price. Among the most pro-
life layers will be found the Black
Spanish, the Black, White and Brown
Leghorns. Poland, Hamburg, Creve
Occur and La Fleche, which are larger
than Black Spanish, but somewhat
similar to them.-Epltomist

MITCHELL TRIAL BEGINS.
Senator from Oregon Enters a Plea
of Not GujlfV,

Portland, Or, April 13.-Judge Bel
linger's court was crowded when the
time arrived for Senator John H.
Mitchell to plead to the four indict-
ments found against him by the late
federal grand jury.
In plea of abatement Senator
Mitchell challenged the acts of the
late federal grand jury by charging
specifically that Jurors W. f. Robert
son and Carl Phelps, the original fore
man and secretary respectively, had
been legally excused for the term pend
ing the Investigations; that Jurors
Frank &. Buffum and George Peebler
had been sworn in some time after the
grand jury had been empaneled; that
Juror George Gustin was not citizen
of the United States; that Jurors Frank
Bolter and Joseph Esner were not tax
payers, as required by law, and that
District Attorney Heney was disquali-
fled IN many ways, besides being preju-
diced.
The plea in abatement was based on
the case wherein Senator Mitchell is
accused of accepting pay through the
law firm of Mitchell and Tanner to ex-
pedite land titles before the land de
partments at Washington in behalf o.
Frederick A. Krebs
A demurrer was first filed after a
stipulation between the government
and counsel for the defense that the
plea in abatement should not be waived
10y the filing of the demurrer.
Judge Alfred s. Bennett, of The
Dalles, as attorney for Senator Mitch
ell, announced that there was ques-
ton of moral involved in the case
wherein Senator Mitchell was accused
of accepting $4,000 from S. A. d. Pu-
ter, and therefore he would waive all
legal technicalities and be ready to
proceed to trial without delay upon
the issues at stake.
Mitchell's waiver of technicalities
in the Puter case is looked upon as a
shrewd move on the part of his attor'
ney to delay proceedings in the Krebs
case; and for trial on the Putel
case, which is admittedly the weaker
of the two.

Comptroller of Treasury Objects to
Proposed Action of Government

Proposed Action of Government
Washington, April 12.-The comp.

decision in which he criticizes the
proposed action of the secretary of the
interior in accepting rebates from the
S outhern Pacific railroad on freight
of contractors engaged in work in the
West under the irrigation and recrlam
alton act.
The comptroller, in the course of
his opinion says:
1.-The government above all others,
should not be party to the violation
of either the letter or the spirit of the
interstate commerce act as regards the
question of rebates. 1t should not en-
gage in question: BILE transactions in or
der that saving of few dollars may
be had, especially when the saving re-
suits in the tearing down of law
which experience proves is very diff
cult, if not impossible to enforce"
The comptroller advises that the
opinion of the attorney general be had
in the matter before any action Is
taken.
