HINTS FOR oRCEARDIsTs.

Keeping the orchard clean helms
greatly to eliminate troubles from in
sects and blights, which are helped by
rubbish about an orchard.
Spraying has now been practiced for
about rs years and has become recog-
nized as one of the most powerful
weapons in combating both insects
and blight germs.
j. II. Hale says that it is only a
question of time when the blessed"
San Jose scale louise will kill off all
the high old trees, and the man who
wants to be an apple grower few
years hence must plant and cultivate
low-headed trees.
Dig out the borers in the peach, ap-
pie, etc. A sharp knife, a piece of
wire, humble attitude, and two
keen eyes, are the best combination
for this pest
According to a statistical report, the
cotton-boll weevil has DESTROYED an

The value of this cotton is placed at

pests have number of enemies
found in certain parasites which feed
upon the eggs of the larvae.
Birds are helpful agents IN destroy
Ing eggs and they are always welcome
guests in my orchard In combating
the canker worm two methods are
employed, both of which when used
intelligently afford ample and effec-
tual protection. The first measures
we must take are to prevent the
ascent of the wingless moths. This
can be done in two ways. First, to
entangle her feet so she is held; sec
Ond, to prevent ascent past a certain
point on the trunk of the trees so that
she will die from exhaustion. In the
first instances a number of substances
of sticky nature are employed, COM
prising such mixtures as printers ink,
pine tar, or a mixture of resin and
castor oil, at the rate of three pounds
of resin (white) to two pounds of
castor oil, melted together. The above
mixture must be applied either direct
ly to the trees in bands or upon bands
Of stiff paper. These bands should be
put on during the first warm days of
spring, and renewed as occasion de-
mands
The second method that can be fol-
lowed, as suggested by the Farmers
Review, IS to use collars of tin, paper,
etc, so fastened around the trunks of
the trees as to admit of no passage

THE BARK LOUISE.
Pest Which Attacks Apple and Other
Trees-Methods of Treat
ment.

The most common scale-insect Of
the apple, without, doubt, is the oys-
ter-shell bark louise. Although every
where present, and sometimes quite
conspicuous, it most often attacks
trees that for some reason are un-
healthy, and therefore poorly fitted
to support the extra drain put on them
by the scale. A strong, healthy tree
ordinarily can bear the presence of a
few of these insects, without much
apparent injury, and they may be
present for many years in small num-
bers without their presence being de-
tected.
The scales of these insects are elon-
gated, shaped something like oyster

FoUR-YEAR-oLO GIRL DROWNED
Fell Into Mill Creek and Was Carried
Down the Stream to Clinton
Street.

In attempting to cross Mill creek or
a small walk yesterday afternoon about
4:30 o'clock, lola Lane, the four-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Lane, fell into the stream and was
drowned. In company with several
other small children she was playing
along the creek bank in the rear of
the residence of Policeman George
Casey, her uncle. She started across
the creek when she slipped and fell
from the narrow walk. The other
children gave the alarm and Policeman
Casey and a neighbor ran to the creek
to try and save the little one. Owing
to the swift current they were unable
to. locate the body. They followed
down the stream to Clinton street
where the body was taken from the
water.
Every effort was made to resusitate
the child, but without success.
The funeral of the little child will
take place tomorrow afternoon from
the residence of George Casey on East
Alder street.

Three Found Alive.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 4.-The Daily
News correspondent at Paris cables
that the minister of public works an
nounces that not only did three men,
supposed to be lost in the COurrieres
mines, come out alive this morning, but
knocking has been distinctly heard in
several parts of the mine, particularly
in pit No 4, where evidently more men
are to be rescued This news, not yet
published in Paris, is bound to increase
the indignation against the engineers,
who, it is alleged, instead of trying to
save the miners, simply blocked the
entrance to save the property. There
seems to be every reason to believe
that hundreds could have been saved
but for this action. With their backs
to the wall fighting public wrath, the
engineers are making sensational dis
closures, declaring they simply obeyed
the owners orders.

TO ASSESS CERTIFICATES
Attorney General Atkinson Renders
an Important Opinion.
HOLDERS MUST PAY TAXES ON THEM
DELINQUENT TAX CERTIFICATES
TO BE LISTED AS PERSONAL
PROPERTY.
HOLDERS MUST PAY TAXES ON THEM

Attorney General John D. Atkinson
in an opinion rendered yesterday at
Olympia to the state tax commission
holds that delinquency tax certificates
are property and as such should be
taxed. He points out the difference
between this class of investments for
taxing purposes and state and county
bonds and warrants, which latter he
some time ago held were not taxable
The opinion follows in part:
while it may in effect result in
double taxation to tax these certificates,
suits in double taxation, especially
where the owner of the land does not
redeem the property and upon fore
closure the holder of the certificate
buys it in; yet if this were true, our
supreme court has said in the case of
Ridpath VS.. Spokane county, % Wash
ingtOn, 436, that while a legislature
may so adjust the revenue system as
to occasion double taxation, such tax
alton will not be inferred unless neces-
sarily imposed in carrying out the
law; and this, notwithstanding the
constitution of the state declares for a
uniform and equal assessment and tax
alton of all property in the state.
with the question as to whether or
not the state would be the gamer or
loser by taxation of these certificates,
and with the general policy of said
character of taxation, this Office has
nothing to do. While the situation is
not as clear as we would like to have
found it, yet, following the rule that
property is subject to taxation unless
it is clearly shown not to be, we are of
the opinion that these certificates do
noa fall within that class of instru-
mentalities of government exempt I'M
der our former opinion

New Departure in Buying for The
City.
COUNCIL PASSES IMPORTANT RESOLUTION
ALL OFFICERS NOTIFIED TO FUR.
NISH ESTIMATES FOR WHAT
is NEEDED.

By resolution introduced bv Coun-
Gilman Bridges, and unanimously
passed last night, a new departure in
purchasing all supplies for the CITY
hereafter will be inaugurated. In
presenting his resolution. Bridges said
there had been an entire absence of
system in purchasing supplies for the
city, and he believed that in conse-
quence, the city was paying hundreds
of dollars a year more for supplies
than 1t otherwise would if the council
and heads of the various departments
were required to strictly observe the
provisions of the city charter. which
provides that bids for all supplies
shall be advertised for.
Bridges resolution was brought
about by a communication from Will
lam Meyer, owner of Meyers foundry,
in which he said that some time ago
he submitted bid on certain kinds of
iron work required by the city, but
had heard nothing of the matter since
that time. He asked for an opportun-
ity for competing and furnishing the
city with all kinds of ironwork here
Gated for nearly three years a system
of purchasing city supplies as suggest
ed by Bridges. and advised the pas
sage of the resolution, which was in
substance as follows:
of Walla Walla, in regular session,
that the heads of the various depart
ments of the city be, and they are
hereby, required to submit to the coun-
Gil at its next regular meeting, an es-
innate of the supplies, material and
all things whatsoever necessary for
the conducting, maintenance, operating
and carrying on of their respective de-
partments for the ensuing four
months.
BE it further resolved, that in con-
Torrance with section 80 of the char
ter. that the city will not pay any
indebtedness incurred unless the same
is legally contracted for and to the
end that the affairs of the city may be
wisely and economically administered

hereafter all purchases made for the
city shall be by competitive bidding in
the open market, so that all citizens,
not "debarred by law" shall have an

WALLA WALLA man an INVENTOR
Load and Unload Mail From
Trains.

A practical test of a new device for
unloading and loading mail on moving
trains was made at the depot of the
Washington & Columbia River Railway
company in Walla Walla this morning.
The invention was gotten up by E.
Campbell, of this city, who believes he
has an apparatus that will simplify the
work of handling mail along railroads
where it is not desired to make a stop.
The machine consists of two tripods,
on which are long arms. To one of
these is fastened the mail sack and
as the train comes along it comes in
contact with an arm on the car and
the sack is automatically lifted into
the mail car. On another arm at
tached to the car is placed a mail bag
and it is released by coming in contact
with one of the arms of the machine
on the ground.
