aminer today says:

this was done by blow from Jones' first
or by the fall has not been determined

FINE sHRrEvALTY RECORD.
What One Good Officer Has Done For
C1atsop County and Oregon.

One week from tomorrow Sheriff
Thomas Linville lays down the badge
and burden of office. which he has held
through seven and half years in behalf
of "old Clatsop'. Eighteen months ap.
pointment, and three consecutive terms
under electoral premise. And just for
the sake Of ascertaining what man in
that position might accomplish in a
period Of that duration, a reporter Of
the Astorian yesterday made definite
search OF the shrievalty records and
finds that the big sheriff is responsible
for the following grist Of very practical
and valuable service TO this county and
city:
Number OF insane arrested and dis
charged ...........'..... oz
Number of insane arrested and COM
mitted to the asylum. .......... 81
Number arrested and released. 49,. ll9
Number arrested, plead guilty and
sentenced .................'. oi
Number arrested. stood trial and
sentenced ......'''.'.. y
Number of arrests, stood trial and
acquitted :. .................... 3
Served time in county Jail. .......... 81
Paid fine ................... Z3
Sent to reform school. s
Released under suspended sentence. 5
Jumped bail 2
Released on bail. il..,..,............. 26
Ordered to leave town. ............ I
Witnesses Observation-Disclosures. IL
Arrested for outside sheriffs ........ u
TOTAL. ..-.........'..'''. 400
It might be stated in connection with
two phases of the foregoing record, that
in the eight jury trials reported above,
one case involved two defendants, Paddy
Lynch and Tobiason, who were jointly
tried, thus reducing the trials to seven;
and in the matter of the two bail
jumpers scheduled above, one left for
feited bonds in the sum Of $500, and the
other in the sum of $3.50, so the state,
nor county suffered much by the fight
of the parties, and probably made good
clear money by the delinquencies.
Taken as whole, the record is i'm
mensely creditable to Mr.. Linville, and
though there have been Clatsop sheriffs
that have made arrests. perhaps 100 in
access of the present sheriff's total, there
never was a finer summary of work
brought to practical head of penalty,
such as is to his credit here. And he
leaves the office with the additional
honor of never having so much as pen
stroke made in derogation of his &C.
counts as tax collector and he has
handled over one and half millions of
dollars during his incumbency.
It goes without saying that the
measure of commentator gladly con-
ceded to Sheriff Linville, the practical
and the successful, must be computed
upon the basis of the willing and able as.
sistance given by his friend and col
league, District Attorney Harrison Allen,
whose valuable service is still an asset
of the county; but to the departing
sheriff the ancient and honorable hail
may be given by every citizen of this
irrespective Of politics. "Well
done, good and faithful servant!"

Deen m2de IN unlS country III ,cUens
years, que in part to the production OF
efficient spraying machinery, suitable
for large commercial plantations.
Moist, warm weather during the
months of August and September is
especially favorable for the develop
ment OF the late blight fungus. I'm
der these conditions, in two days
time the disease may turn an appar-
emily healthy field into mass OF pu-
trified and blackened vines. A most
unfortunate feature of the disease is
that ii not only destroys the vines,
but the summer spores may gain en-
trance to the tubers and cause eriOus
damage from rot. The rotting of pO-
tatoes, in storage, which is very gen.
orally attributed to the late blight
fungus. is very likely due to bacterial
causes. The relative Importance of
the early and late blight fungus to
the Wisconsin potato industry is not
definitely determined The. loss from
early blight is more steady, and it is
probable the disease does more or
less damage every season. Late blight
appears more periodically, but when
it is present it causes more serious
damage to the yield
The success OF any commercial
spraying venture depends upon the
efficiency of the selected fungicide in
controlling the disease and upon the
actual increase in profit which can be
realized above the cost OF treatment
In New York state several potato
growers are cooperating with the ex-
pertinent station to determine the
profits under actual form conditions.
A report of that work for 1905 esti-
mates the cost of each application at
80 cents per acre. They obtained an
average increase of So bushels per
acre, which netted an average profit
OF $22 per acre. Later reports indi-
cate that potato spraying has made
rapid progress in that state and is be-
coming quite general among the pro-
gressive growers.
