BRAIN LEAKS.
lFrom Bryan's Commonera

From Bryan Comm0ner3
Good books never made bad
boys.
A real christian doesn't have to
use words to tell it.
The man who jumps at conclu
sions lands with jar.
Some men loudly demand JUS
tice while softly praAing for ner-
cy.
A story that is not fit for ladies
to hear is unfit for gentlemen to
tell.
Men have missed golden oppor-
tunities by merely doing some
thing just to pass away the time.
The man who takes no part in
politics has no moral rights to
talk about political corruption.
Some men chloroform their con-
science and then fatter themselves
that they are doing right because
they feel no remorse.
If you want to see man look
foolish just hand him a few love
letters he wrote about the time his
mustache began sprouting.

VALUE OF THE DEAD LEAVES
Reported to Be Rich in heterogeneous
Contents Which Is Put
to Use

Consul GOldschmidt, of Nantes.
furnishes Il report containing
facts that will be interesting to
our agricultural interests. The
value Of dead leaves, compared
with ordinary manure, has been
the subject Of scientific test, and
the results are given by the con.
/ sui, He writes:
y great part of the suburban
population of this city is engaged
IL gardening and especially in
the cultivation of early yegeta
bles. For many years use has
been made of the dead leaves
which fall from the trees in au.
tumn, and when such can be OBJ
tanned by the small farmers they
are eagerly gathered and en-
ploNed as fertilizers or to cover
certain plants during the cold
winter months. Frequently these
leaves are first used as bedding for
cattle and horses. and the manure
thus obtained is considered much
richer than that of ordinary
straw.
~ writer in the Phare de la
Loire shows, i'll Il table just pub
lished, the relative fertilizing
value of certain kinds of leaves,
most of which are rich III nitroge-
nous contents and consequently
good as fertilizers. According to
this writer the following are the
contents of nitrogen of some of
the leaves after their fl II 81.
tumn: Pear. 1.S6 per cent; oak,
LIS; poplar. 10; beech, rs; locust,
-; elm. %: vine, 30.
An examination of the fertile
Inc value Of The dead leaves com
pared with that of ordinary ma
nure shows the following results:
Fortyfour pounds of pear leaves,
"a pounds of poplar, 81 pounds OF
peach, IS pounds of locust, 81
pounds Of elm and Ia pounds of
vine. resfeet - Y. are equal in nj
trogen 10 leo pounds of manure.
An interesting and valuable
table might be established show
inc the fertilizing value of vari.
ous leaves from American trees.
particularly when it is considered
that in the United States such
leaves are easily obtainable by the
farmers, who are generally own
ers Of some Woodland where the
leaves might be gathered at will.
which is not the ease in Europe.

The Jeanic crashed into the Dix at
full speed, striking her amidships and
knocking a hole in the bow at the
water line.
The injured vessel almost immedi-

created a disturbance at Bingham
Springs station several nights since.
The sentences We're imposed after all
four prisoners had pleaded guilty to
assault and battery.
At the hearing this afternoon J. r.
Raley appeared as attorney for the
Japs, while an educated japanese of
Portland was present in the capacity
of Interpreter. Through the latter
very straight and consistent story was
told regarding the affair. According
TO one of the men he had been in the
OLeary car with young O'Leary. The
trouble had started over a criticism
which the Jap made regarding some
music that was being furnished by
Miss OLeary. To show his apprecia-
ton of the music the Jap compared
the same with that furnished at the
Erickson beer han in Portland This
evidently well-meant compliment was
not well taken by young O'Leary and
he threw the Jap out of the car. The
other three Japs then came to their
comrades rescue.
After listening to the evidence John
McCourt, who acted as district attor-
ncy in the absence of Mr.. Phelps, de-
cided that a case of intent to kill or
riot could not be made against the
Japs. Consequently they were al
lowed to plead guilty to assault and
battery. The fines were paid.

he began to breathe much easier, as
there was nothing on the track. 1t

FRUIT INSPECTOR WINS.
Jury Sustains Right to Destroy In
fected Trees.

Oregon City, Nov. 10.-After delib-
Grating for three hous, the jury in the
case of Il. r. Sellwood against j. II.
Reid, ex-fruit inspector for Clackamas
county, reported a verdict for the de-
fendant.
This is the suit in which Sellwood
sought to recover damages for the cut
ting down of "a infected prune trees
by Reid, as fruit inspector, owing to
the failure of the owner to properly
spray his orchard as ordered. The
constitutionality of the law making
spraying compulsory was not attacked
by C. ID. Latourette, attorney of the
plaintiff He contended that the de-
fendant as county fruit inspector, ex-
ceeded his authority when he went
upon plaintiffs premises and Destroy
ed the trees complained of without
having first caused the same to be
sprayed, the cost to operate as a lien
against the property as provided un-
der the act with a view of determin-
ing If the scale could not thereby be
eradicated and the life and usefulness
of the trees prolonged. He main
taineo that the law did not contem-
plate the destroying of the trees in
any orchard and characterized the
work of Reid as that of a vandal.
Judge Mcbride said lslt three prop
ositions were involved. They are:
First, the plaintiffs trees infected;
second, was he notified by the proper
authority to spray, and was a reason
able time given in which to perform
the work; third, did the plaintiff
spray his trees as directed. The court
held that the manner of procedure or
the part of the fruit inspector, as to
whether he sprayed or destroyed the
trees, under the statute, is optional
with the horticultural officer. lr
concluding, Judge Mcbride said II
was not for the jury to decide as to the
policy of the law, but rather as tC
whether or not its provisions hac
been complied with in this particular
case at trial.
