animation.

State Horticultural Commissioner
F. A. Huntley has returned to Ia
coma after an extended inspection
trip through the eastern and central
part of the state. says the Tacoma
Ledger. Mr.. Huntley believes that
conditions generally are very hopeful
for a fine fruit crop this year, and
that the early spraying and general
care Of the fruit trees taken by the
ranchers will assure them more than
ordinary success this season.
There is one pest. however, that is
causing Commissioner Huntley con-
siderable alarm and uneasiness. and
that DIS the fiat-headed apple borer.
This badly infects the eastern part OF
the state and has already reached
the locality and immediate vicinity Of
Yakima. There 1t is not very bad.

his eyes he watched the judge as he
passed the verdict of the jury to the
clerk of the court. When his at.
torney told him the outcome his
head dropped and he sat quiet until
the deputy sheriff took him by the
arm and told hi INTO start.
On the way to the Jail he did not
utter word, but his face showed the
agony which he was undergoing. He
was placed lin his cell and will re-
main there until the end of the Grim

the judge will deliver his sentence.
Attorneys for the defendant made
a motion to the court for an arrest

could not be contradicted by the de-

other than that one of the coins
taken from the room was of silver
and was minted in 1879. Young said
this coin was very bright and like
new, although he he had scratched It
on both sides with nail. The police
have kept close watch for anyone
passing coin of this description.
When Young reported to the po-
Ice he stated that he was very lucky
in getting off as easily as he did, as
he had $40 in his back trousers pock-
ct, which the robber overlooked.
The police are of the opinion that
the man who entered the room was
familiar with the building and prob
ably knew that Young and his part
ner usually carried an amount Of
money.
The door leading into Young's
room was not locked and it was an
easy matter for the man to enter
without being detected.

ley says, the borer has done incalcu.
liable damage. He believes it has
been brought into the state from the
east, coming in on large shipments
of nursery stock The pest is secret
in its work and oftentimes is not dis
covered until it has virtually killed
the tree which it infests. The borer
works between the bark and the tree
wood, and gives no outward sign OF
its presence. In fact the death OF
the tree is usually the first indication
that he farmer has of its presence ir
the orchard. There is no known
spray or other treatment that will
drive it out. and the only thing to do
is to dig the creature out
Commissioner Huntley advises
that a careful examination be made
of all apple trees and that any COLO
MES of borers found be at once dug
out. The fact that the insect, which
is a small black beetle, which breeds
very rapidly, has already been found
is sufficient warning for all fruit
growers. Search should be made for
the pest by means of Sits in the bark,
and if prevalent it will soon be dis
covered. 1t is one of the most dam
aging pests that orchardists have to
deal with, and one of the hardest to
combat.
Mr.. Huntley is busy at present,
travelling about the state on his an
nual spring tour of examination, and
after a brief stop at his offices in Ia
coma will tour through the southern
part of the state and will then go to
Portland on business. He expects to
return to the Yakima the latter part
Of the month.

WHEN DECISION IS READ
Evelyn Attempts to Comfort Him
Thaw Is Remanded to Jail
Without Bail.

lessly divided, with seven for ver-
dict of guilty in the first degree and
FIVE for atquittal on the ground of in
sanity, the jury which since January
90 has been trying Harry X. Thaw
reported today after Al hours and
eight minutes deliberation that Il
could not possibly agree on ver-
dict. The twelve men were prompt
~ discharged by. Justice Fitzgerald,
who declared he, too, believed their
task hopeless. Thaw was remanded
to the Tombs without bail to await a
second trial on the charge of having
murdered Stanford White. When the
new trial will take place no one could
tonight express an opinion. Jerome
declared there we're many other per-
sons accused of homicide awaiting
trial and Thaw will have to take his
turn WITH the rest. AS to possible
change Of venue, both sides declared
they will make no such move.
Thaw's attorneys will have confer
ence tomorrow with the prisoner to
decide on their next step. They may
make an early application for bail.
Jerome said he would strenuously
oppose 1t. In that event Thaw will
have another long summer before
him in the city prison. His case can
not possibly be reached before next
fall. The announcement of the in
ability Of the jury to reach an agree
ment Is not surprising after their
long deliberations and Thaw received
the news surrounded by members Of
his family, in absolute silence. When
1t became known THAT the jury was
about to make report Thaw called
his wife to a seat by his side and sat
with his arm thrown about her un-
til he was commanded to stand and
face the jurors. Smiling and conf
dent as ne entered the court room,
he sank Imply into chair when

she had felt severely the stran and

waiting. The wife gripped her hus-
bands hand tightly as the foreman
spoke, and when he sank down by
her side she tried to cheer him as
best she could. saying she believed
he would now be admitted to bail and
that second jury would surely set
him free.
The mothers and brothers, pale
and well nigh exhausted by the ted

Thaw for few moments and bid him
be of good cheer before he crossed

which until few minutes before he
had hoped he was about to quit for
ever.
The police had succeeded in dis
persing the thousands gathered
around the building, so when the
failure of the jury to reach an agree

There's as much difference in
the quality of fruit trees as
there is in any other class OF
merchandise. To many per-
sons "a tree is a tree" just so

We grow nursery stock and

the soil is as fertile as was the
Garden of Eden. Where the
constituents necessary for
tree growth abound, and where
sunshine from the skies and
water from the irrigating canal

Our standard tree is four to

RICH BY ROBBERY.
Physician Says Oil King is Worlds
Greatest Criminal.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2l.--Rising as
from his grave after 80 years OF silence
and pointing the finger Of accusation
against John d. Rockefeller aud his

house, the s5.year-old physician, who is
planning to sue the oil trust for $780,
100000, recently told the whole story to
a reporter.
DR., Morehouse claims that most of
Rocketeller's millions should be his, and
he relates in detail how he told the oil
king how to sell his first stock OF oil TO
make a profit out OF it; how Rockefeller
walked arm and arm with him down a
Cleveland street with him and told OF
gifts of $4,000 blocks of Standard Oil
stock to the late Commodore Wander
bllt and other famous railroad men OF
the day, thus beginning the famous re.
batting system; how Rockefeller made
and broke his solemn promise never to
engage in the parafline oil and wax bus
mess, so he DR.. Morehouse, would spend
the remnants of his fortune in a fac
tory, which was later gobbled up by
Rockefeller; how Frank Rockefeller,
John D's brother, was forced into his
firm and broke il up; how another man,
declared to be Standard Oil agent,
got into another firm he formed pur-
posely to allow it to get into debt and
then secretly put it in the hands OF
receivers, and eventually how he came to
New York in 1887, ruined man and
the Standard Oil, getting his factory,
then began to manufacture products
which were covered by patents owned
by him Out of these pat
ents the Standard Oil never gave him
penny, although the trust used them
during their lives.
John d. Rockefeller, DR.. Morehouse
said, is one OF the greatest criminals of
the age and if the Standard Oil had
pursued lemitimate methods instead OF
plain robbery, Rockefeller's fortune to.
lay could not possibly amount to more
than $75,0OO000 or $lO0,O000O0 instead
of $1,000, 100000, as it is reported to be.

ASTORIA AND vLADIv0ST0K.

Russia, it seems, from the dispatches,
is still our good friend, and is to allow
this country the privilege Of establish
ing and maintaining at it's great Pacific
port Of Vladivostok, a naval depot and
yard; and it is assumed that the visit
of the War Secretary, Mr.. Taft, to that
country, has good deal to do with the
closing of this big defensive provision.
The vague threat of Japan's war-hke
tendepcies towards this nation, make
such concession of incalculable value
and importance; and if it shall carry
with it the substantial addenda of an
open alliance with Russia, it may give
the little brown "Greek" Of modern
times something to think over besides
the conclusion of easy success and in
finite glory in his western quest.

THE PUBLIC PATIENCE,

The resolution OF the great telegraph
companies to wage war with the strikers
until the bitter end rather than sacrifice
their sense of what is due them as the
employing element of the fracas, seems
to have been arrived at without taking
into consideration the patience OF this
big American public, and without ques-
tion as to whether that patience is going
to hold out while the companies are
carrying on an indefinitely prolonged
contest
Both the huge concerns involved are
public servants and they owe duty to
their patrons that bears heavily on their
actual existance and resources. The peo'
pie have put up with demoralized
service for some time now, and have
endeavored to get along without raising
a row over the very considerable annoy
ance and deprivation to which they have
been subjected. But just how long they
will maintain so equable an attitude is
getting to be pretty much of
problem,
We still think the whole thing might
be sent into the hands OF federal com.
mission, as was done in the great coal
strike in Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
some years ago, and relieve the public Of
its unwonted share in the paralysis OF
business incident to the present strike, 1t
may be these giant corporations are too
big to handle. either by the people or their
government and i~this is the case, that,
too, should be known; so that the con-
tinued and wretched service, now univer'
sal throughout this country. may be set
down as among the things beyond popu-
lar interference and to be borne without
murmur or resistance. II is another ex-
preston OF the curse of monopoly; and
the marvel OF it all. is, how long the
people are going to stand for it.

boom is reported at Mckenzie Bridge
and other localities on the upper McKen.
zie. George Frizzel, the pioneer summer
