IMPORTANT DECISION.
That Will be of Assistance to
Fruit Inspectors.

The new law relating to spray
ing was upheld last Friday at
Oregon City, when the jury in
the suit OF 7. R. A. Sellwood VS..
James I3. Reid brought in a ver-
dict for the defendant after belug
out about three hours. The
verdict was expected by all part
les to the case, and the jury was
out much longer than antici-
pated.
The trial of the case aroused
intense interest, not only in
Clackams county but in other
sections of the state, as it was
generally considered test of the
law under which Com missione r
Reid, while acting in his official
capacity. notified T. R. A. Sell
wood Of Milwaukee to spray the
trees in his orchard, and after
his failure to do so took some
men, went into the orchard and
cut down "a pru1e trees that
were infested with San Jose scale.
The law has been bitterly oppos-
ed and antagonized andthe victory
tor the adherents of clean fruit is
generally satisfactory, says the
Enterprise. .
The rulings of Jude Mcbride
On questions that arose during
the trial were in favor of the de-
fendant in every instance. The
court said that Reid had a right
to cut down the trees, after Sell
wood had failed to comply with
the law, and bis Instructions to
the jury were clear and decisive.
He said there were only three
propositions to be considered
whether or not the orchard was
infected; whether the plaintiff
had been notified in 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 orch
ard in diseased condition it was
his duty to notify the owner, and
after he had failed and neglected
to spray his trees, the inspector
could use discretion IN either
cutting down the orchard or
spraying the trees himself and
the expense as a lien
against the property. He ruled
that it was not necessary for the
fruit inspector to warn of the con
sequences that might ensue inI
the event of failure to spray, and
that ignorance of the law was mol
excuse. s.-,-.
The result of the trial will no
doubt make things easier for the
fruit inspectors, who have no
easy task and have aroused the
enmity of scores of people.
Merchants who deal in fruit, it is
have made it point tol
defy the law, and it is considered
likely that violation and unlaw-
ful practice will now come to AMI
end. -

RENT0 N APPLES There.
In Portland Show Window
Came From Corvallis.

Came From Corvallis.
Last THURSDAY a display of
big, luscious apples in a show
window at Olds, Workman aud
Kings, Portland, caused many
fruit lover to pause and admire,
then hurry on his way convinced
that Willamette Valley apples
cannot be beaten.
The display came from the
counties of Yamhill, Marion,
Polk, Linn, Lane and Benton.
Th purpose of theexhibit was to
combnat the idea that Hood
River is the best apples section
in Oregon, and furthermore to
down the declaration made by
growers of that section that the
fine apples produced by Millard
0. Lownsdale on his little fruit
from farm near Portland are exc
options to rule in the VALLEY.
Some os the apples in the dis
play were shipped from Corvallis
by E. B. Horning. They were
grown on the Groves ranch a
mile or two west of town and
were large, sound, beautifully
colored and of delicious flavor
Mr.. Horning shipped four
, boxes, one Nothern Spy and the
rest of the King variety. DR..

Some of the uew blue-violet shades are
equally attractive, while reds, terra cot
tas, verdigris greens and tobacco browns
will find hosts of enthusiastic adherents.
So much for fabric and color. Now to
a consideration Of the various modes in
which these present themselves. There
are long suits, there are short
coated suits and there are bolero-coated
suits that are intended for house rather
than for street wear. 1t seems to be en-
tirely matter of choice which mode one
follows; each and all are equally stylish.
Some very smart models display sugges-
lions that are plainly and evidently
copied from the book of the ecclesiastical
tailor. Chasubles, stoles, crossed bands,
etc, many and numerous, and they
are manipulated in countless different but
telling ways.
One sees the chasubIe extended into
ca raco coat: one sees it just about as
often posed over the shoulders of a gar
ment whose hem reaches well to the knee
line or triie below 1t, and sees the
ubiquitous Elton jacket with this smart
little addendum its charms.

to be worn over a separate blouse of the
most extravagent description. sAll sorts
of sheer laces, hand-embroidered chiffons,
the softest of liberties and such are in
vogue for such purposes, and the contrast
OF such sheer fabric, bordered by the vel
vet bodice Is most attractive one.
Skirts to such gowns are plain, often
times severely so, but they make up In
soft fulness whatever they may lack in
the way of business. Setting snugly
over the hips, they fall in ripping folds
to the feet, some slight stifening of hair
cloth being run IN to the hem as
sistance to the soft fabric. The skirt that
does not measure at least eight yards at
the edge cannot hope to pass muster with
the Partisan creations, and when one con-
siders the fact that some semblance of a
train Is included 1t will readily be seen
tnat even a greater width will prove none
too much.
