Overhead Trolleys General.

Action of the board of supervisors
granting the United Railroads permis-
sion to erect trolley poles on all lines
to bring about speedy resumption of
car service, will greatly facilitate re-
construction work. Advocates of the
underground trolley are exercised lest
the company saddle the city with the
overhead trolley indefinitely. The
present emergency, however, makes
1t imperative that cable transporta-
ton be abandoned.
Six bodies were unearthed from the
ruins of the homes yesterday. 1t is
expected the death list will be aug
mented daily by these discoveries.

WILL ENFORCE
SPRAYING LAW
PURPOSE OF THE STATE
HORTICULTURAL BOARD.
VIII Bring Proceedings Against Uma-
tilla County Orchardists Should
They Continue to Refuse to Spray
According to the Laws Require
ments-Fruit Conditions Through
out the State Are Favorable for
Heavy and Excellent Crop.

w. X. Newell, chairman of the state
board of horticulture. and Judd Geer,
member of the board for the eastern
Oregon district, were in the city this
morning on their way to Milton,
where they go to enforce the spray
ing law against several large orchard
lists who have so far failed to obey
the orders of County Inspector Milton
Evans.
Mr.. Newell came up from his home
at CASTOR, Washington county, on the
morning train and Joined Mr.. Geer
here.
Mr.. Geer recently visited the Milton
section and found that most of the
small orchardists had obeyed the or
ders of the local inspector and had
sprayed their trees in accordance with
the law, but that several prominent
orchardists who own large orchards
ance with instructions and they will
be forced to do so now or proceed
ings will be brought against them by
the board.
The horticultural board is doing ex-
cellent work in eradicating the fruit
pests in Oregon and the members are
determined that the law shall be en-
forced to the letter. Many orchard
lists have only partly sprayed. They
sprayed for Goblin moth but not for
the San Jose scale, with which many
orchards in Umatilla county are badly
infected.
Fruit conditions throughout the
state are very favorable and the crop
will be heavy and Of excellent quail
ity in most Of the leading fruit dis
tricts.
In most OF the fruit districts the
board finds orchardists ready to
obey the law in every way and the
board is surprised that Umatilla
county people are not making an ut
most effort to suppress the pests in
this county. Hood river and Rogue
river fruit districts depend upon the
thoroughness with which they spray
for their immense fruit crops. for
without spraying. neither OF these
districts would hold the place they
now occupy In the fruit markets OF
the world.
