Spraying Law Sustained.

The new law relating to spraying
was upheld Friday, when the jury In
the suit of I. K. A. Sellwood vs..
James II. Reid brought in verdict
for the defendant after being out
about three hours. The verdict was
expected by all parties to the case,
and the jury was out much longer
than anticipated.
The trial of the case lasted two days
and al oused intense interest, not only
in Clackamas county but In other sec
tjons of the state, as it was generally
cousidered a test of tie law, under
which Commissioner Reid, while act
ing in his official capacity notified 1.

spray the trees in bis orchard, and
after his failure to do so took some
men. went into the orchard and cut
down "a prune trees that we're infest-

BREAKS RECORD FOR
TRAVEL TO OREGON

immigration to Oregon during the
past year has broken all records says
the East Oregonian and while the
year OF 1895 proved to be re, ord
breakr for colonists travel to Oregon,
this year has exceeded all former bus
mess the immigration into the state
surprising that OF last year by about
1000 persons. The total number OF
tickets sold to points west Of Hunt
ington was 9,0l4, while last year 1t
was ,972, an increase of LOAF. 1t is
estimated that about as many home
sekers arrived in Oregon over the
Southern Pacific and Northern Pa
cific, making the total increase about
2,0D0.
Statistics gathered at important
points on the Hartman system show
ed Portland received 2,2l3 colonists,
against 2,3l5 for 1905, but Spokane
received S3l, as compared with 6IS
last year. The railroad officials feel
gratifed that the travel tended more
% the smaller towns, as they argue
he fact illustrates that the class of
travel was desirable, and was made up
mostly of presons desiring to settle in
agricultural communities, and were not
in search of employment.
The total to local stations on the ..
X. K N. was l,51l, as compared with
1,437 in 1905. North of Portland it
was 2,S24, while but 2,219 during the
preceding period. To the south the
travel was represente ed by l,04S tickets
sold, against 974 in 1905. North of
Spokane it was 5S7, while in 1905 it
was but 2S9.
Hood River secured So persons,
against 53 in 1906 LaGrande, lol,
against 10; Baker City, lS2, as com
pared with 144; Walla Walla, 227,
with but l53 in 1905, and Pendlaton
received the same for the two years,
SO persons.
The safes will be on again during
March and April, and in September
and October, 1907, and from the en-
couraging increase made this season 1t
is hoped to add largely to the totals
next year. The demand for laborers
at San Francisco because Of the gen
eraI bouilding activity is thought to
have attracted many easterners who
would otherwise have journeyed
north to embark in agri ,ulture or
small business pursuits.

Wants Tolls Abolished.

The Oregon journal is making an
effort to have the tolls on traffic at
Oregon City abolished and asks the
commercial bodies throughout the
state to help in the movement. In
recent Article it says:
The Willamette region ought to be
rescued from the toll taking to which
it's products are subjected at Oregon
City. The process is relic OF print
tive civilization and ought to be dis
carded. Ii ought to have gone with
the OK yoke, the fell and the hint
lock. In spite of the fact that 1t costs
the farlne RS and consumers OF the re
pion an immense sum every year, 1t
is retained. And this is the TWEEN
tieth century too.
The journal is for rescuing the
magnificent Willamette region from
this relic of pioneer days by purchase
of the locks or construction OF new
ones. The journal would discard this
toIleate maintained for mulctlng
traffic. and make the Willamette what
il was designed to be, free and open
waterway, the peoples own ard not a
private corporations.
In a recent issue of the journal
MI. ID. b. Ogden, government engi-
neer, showed how comparatively
small would be the cost of new locks,
how no corporate power could inter
vene to prevent the people from
building new locks and how great
would be the benefit. 1t all makes
the wonder grow, why have the peo-
ple of the Willamette valley paid this
toll so uncomplainingly and SO long!
IL they will rally now in an effort tn
throw down this barrier to an un-
handicapped traffic, the journal will
do everything it can to aid tthem.
will not the conner ial bodies join IN
a movement to open this splendid
waterway? viii not the newspapers
take up the fight? Will not the grang-
es and other farmers organizations
utter ringing protest, and petition
for redress?
A strong pull and pull all together
will rid Willamette of this toll taking
pawnshop establishment at Oregon
City and let her commerce flow IN
fetter.d to Portland and the sea.

Reid b d right to cut down the
trees, after Sellwood had failed to
comply with the law and his instruc-
tions to the jury we're clear and de-
cisive. He said there were only three
propositions to be considered--wheth-
or or not the orchard was infected |;
whether the plaintiff has been given
notice and time In which to spray,
and whether he had sprayed. The
court defined the duties of the fruit
inspector, and said when the official
found an orchard in a diseased con-
ditlon it was his duty to notify the
owner, and after he had failed and
neglected to spray his trees, the in
spectoI could use his discretion in
either cutting down the orchard or
spraying the trees himself and charg-
ing the expense as lien against the
property. He ruled that it was not
necessary for the fruit inspector to
warn of the consequences that might
ensue in the event of failure to spray,
and that ignorance of the law was no
excuse.
The result of the trial will no doubt
m AXE things easier for the fruit in
spectors, who have had no easy task
and have aroused the enmity Of scores
of people. 1t is considered likely that
violations and unlawful practices will
now come to an end. Polk County

Bickleton SchOOlbOy's Idea of a Mule.

The mule is half boss and half jack,
says Bickleton schol boy, and then
comes full stop, nature having dis
covered her mistake. They weigh
more according to their heft than any
other living thing excepting crow
bar. They can't hear any quicker nor
faster than q boss yet their ears are
big enough for snow shoes. You can
trust them with anybody whose life
isn't worth more than the average
fioateI. The only way to keep them
in pasture is to turn them into an
adjoining field. They are ready for
use as sool as they'll do to abuse.
They have no friends in this vale ol
tears but live on sage brush with an
occasional change to Canada thistles.
They are a modern invention and
their hind legs are on universal

Asparagus Is a paying crop, and one
that Is easily raised. The plants may
be grown from seed at . very small
cost. Plant the seed In good garden
soil, keep well cultivated the 1rst year
and transplant 10 z permanent bed the
second year. Make the soil very rich,
pulverizIng II thoroughly. and set the
plants two and one half feet apart In
rows three feet apart In the spring,
before the tender stalks shoot up, sprin-
kle the top OF the ground along the
rows with common stock salt Keep
weeds down by eultiyating On mulchIng
preferably the former, II the season
Is not uncommoniy dry. A bed located
on south slope Will bring very early
asparagus, ani this Commands the best
price.
