PORTLAND FRUIT
RUINED BY SCALE

San Jose scale and ether fruit pests
garden fruit trees of greater portion
Of the east side. In the older settled
portions of the district full-grown
trees, such as the pear, apple and
cherry, are found in nearly all Cf the
yards, and it is safe to say that more
than halt of them have been practical
ly ruined by some sort of destructive
pest. In most instances it was found
to be San Jose scale An exsmina-
tion of the fruit from sone of these
trees showed it to be shriveled and
half developed. Especially was this
the case with pears, which we're found
to be covered with a scale, which is
said to use them to drop before they
are mature. In number of the
yards the ground was covered with
wormy apples md half grown pears.
Ihe district between Sunnyside and
Mount Tabor, which has always been
noted for its fine pears and apples that
we're grown in the yards and gardens,
has been so overrun with the scale
and other pests that the fine. delicious
fruit produced there few years ago
is thing of the past. Out in the
Highland neighbci hond there are sew
eral fine orchards that have been al
lowed to go to ruin for want of a
timely spraying. The prune and pear
orchards beyond Woodlawn, on the
old Vancouver line, have been better
taken care of in this respect, although
their owners complain that it is al
most impossible to save their orchards
on account of the infected trees In
the vicinity. North of st. Johns, Oh
the lower peninsula, there are sever al
fine old orchards, planted by early
settlers, that have been utterly ruined
by the San Jose scale. Many of these
small orchards might yet be saved,
but it will require persistent use OF
the spraying pump to bring them
hack to the point where they will
grow the old time luscious pear and
apple. There Is any amount of worh
for the fruit tree inspector in that
district. A number of these infected
orchards have been abandoned, which
ought to be treated to q vigorous
welding of the tree inspectors ak. -

servation. Nothing else was half so
interesting, writes Orison SWEET Mar

pierce their masks and read the real

accomplishment which he regarded as
one of clergyman's greatest weapons.

acteristic of the south Atlantic coast,
the ruins of church and fort mark
the spot where the first missionary
enterprise undertaken by New Eng
land, outside her own borders. was
located. The ruins are in the county
of Dorchester, S. c., so named for
the small company Of churchmen who
sailed from Boston December s, 1896,
and founded colony in the wilder

est, beset continually by fears of fam

tory of the country.
William Pratt was the son of
Thomas Pratt, of Weymouth, Mass.
In 1850 he married Elizabeth Baker,
of Dorchester, and about the middle
of April, 1880, became a member of
the church there. When, five years
later, an expedition was organized to
carry the Gospel to South Carolina,
Mr.. Pratt Joined it and took a promi.
nent part.
The Charleston people treated the
newcomer from the Massachusetts bay
colony with the utmost consideration
and helped them materially TO found
their little church and state.
Not far from the first church found
ed by the men under the leadership
OF Elder Pratt, and built by the same
sturdy class Of men, was built the ST.
James Goose Creek meeting house.
This church, erected during the in
cumbency of Rev. Francis lie Jan, in
I'LL, is still in a fine state of pres
ervation. This is built of brick and
cherub heads adorn the windows.
The royal arms Of the king of Eng
land are still over the chancel, and
it was the presence of these insignia
that saved the church from destruc-
ton at the time of the war of the
colonies. Every year services are held

the Indians, is on the bank Of the
Ashley.
The reason for building in such a
location on a sluggish and not too
healthful stream, was the facility of
travel to and from Charleston, and the
easier avoidance Of attacks from the
Indians. AS far back as can be
learned. the churchmen had not SO
much trouble with the Indians as their
fellows in the north. Elder Pratt
made friends with several, who gave
him some very strange recipes for cur
ing the sick. Some of these are
quoted here:
For great cough or cold that
leads to consumption, take yolk Of an
egg and some powder of birthstone,
and put to it and take it in the morn
ing; or honey and birthstone, and
after that the yolk of a newlaid egg
and some good wine mixed together.
ITO stop bleeding. take some nip
and hold it in the left hand, and put
some to the hollow of the left foot,
and lay some nip in<he neck"
1t is interesting to observe that
Elder Pratt owned two slaves when he
died. In 1899 he gave bond to Capt.
Rit, of Charleston, to pay for a negro
woman, five and twenty pounds"
The tombstone Of the elder is now
standing in cemetery at Easton,
Mass.

OF Interest to East SiderS

ions OF the latter were inconsistent
with those of the former. At the meet
ing of the county commissioners held
recently, they decided, upon the rec
ommendation of County Attorney May
bury, to appeal to the Supreme Court
from the decision of Judge Grindeland.
1t will be noticed that in the title
of the Special Law of 1891 constables
are not mentioned and, as constable
is not county officer, it is contended
by the attorneys for Sheriff Gonyea
that this Special Law is unconstitu-
tional as to the fees of constables for
the reason that the subject of the act
is not expressed in the title, and that
o constable is entitled to 10 cents per
mile mileage for the service of Justice
Court warrants.
The Sheriff is authorized by law to
serve such warrants and by this Spec
ial Law of 1891 is only entitled to
charge tx cents per mile mileage,
while the constable can charge 10
cents 1t is contended that this law
is unconstitutional because it discrim-
mates against the sheriff in favor If
a constable in the service of such
warrants and is class legislation 1t
would then follow that both the sheriff
and the constables are entitled to
charge 10 cents per mile mileage in
the service of Justice Court warrants.
AS far as eX-Sheriff Sullivan is con-
cerned, the only issue there is is as 10
whether or not he was entitled to
charge 7h cents or 10 cents per mile
in the service of Justice Court war
rants during his term of Office after
April /, 1908. The amount involved is
probably not to exceed 5000 and if the
contentious of the attorneys for Sher-
if Gonyea are upheld, then the only
issue will be as to the expenses for
conveying prisoners under Justice
Court warrants, which is only Il small
amount, and the whole matter rests
upon the Interpretation to be given
these laws by the Supreme Court. a..

Discussing Light Plant.

Crookston Times: The board OF
county commissioners have devoted
nearly the entire session today to lis
tening to the plans of five different
concerns in connection with sup
ply of light for the court house and
Jail. The installation of a system to
be operated by the county is the plan
of several outside concerns. The
Crookston Water Works, Power e
Light company has made a flat bid
of s717 per year if the lights are re-
arranged Slightly to make the light
ing more economical. This is a re-
duction of $3.50 from their former bid.
The board last evening authorized
County Attorney Maybury to take an
appeal from the decision of Judge
Grindeland in the sheriff's fees case.

The county auditor has received
papers of the apportionment of the
state school fund for the month of
March. This apportionment is one of
the largest for many years that has
been received in the state. There are
STAT pupils in the Polk county schools
and therefore the school apportion-
ment will be $14,410.90. In addition
to this apportionment of the state
monies half of the penalties on the de-
linquent taxes will be added 10 this
and all the fines in the justice courts,
leaving the schools all over the state
in the most prosperous condition.

The securing Of such proof would

one here has the slightest doubt that
the regime IS the primary cause of
all the is distressing in the COLONY,
that it is the indefenSible regime
which permits and makes possible

will be of more interest TO the mot

autonomic form of government which

What danger can there be-is asked
by the above paper-in the Executive
Council being q body elected by po-
pular vote, so long as the vote of the
Governor is sufficient to counteract
and check all excessive Legislation?
Mr.. Winthrop, on the contrary-ac-
cording to the opinion of the Sun
seems disposed to think such a step
unwise at the present time.
The Governor has declared that
the concession of an elective Upper
House would be matter of doubt
ful wisdom. And The Sum- not
withstanding its recognition of his
better information concerning local
conditions, because of his residence
in the Jvg0tt<R Island. is inclined to
believe that no serious danger and
some positive good would result from
the adoption of decidedly American
policy, and the Inauguration of some
essential reforms, which among cul-
turcd nations are recognized as prin-
ciples of universal justice and in ac-
cordance with which their affairs are
administered.
We are indebted to the "Sun" for
having comprehended the aspirations
of the Island aud also for having
reflected thc general sentiment and
expressed an opinion in accord with
the one that ha S always been entert-
aimed by the colony.
At last it is understood in the
mother country that we in the colony
do not spend our time in protesting
against the functionaries and in ind
ulging in puerile complaints for the
mere sake of fault-fnding.
"The New York Sun" realizes the
fact that something more is desired
here than a simple change of men.
This is illustrated in the article

ent of justice in our demand.
