FOLSOM MUST BE SHOWN.
Probably BE Necessary to Bring Him
the Corpse Hereafter.

That he went into the office of
coroner at the wrong time of the
moon is feared by Ralph Folsom, and
he certainly has some ground for
that belief. During the past month
no less than four cases Of violent
deaths have been reported to him,
but in every instance the stories have
been proven false alarms, or else he
was unable to locate the body. The
first instance was when, through a
practical joke played upon him by
the employees of the Fair store, the
coroner was induced to make trip
down the levee one cold winter night.
When ne attempted to lift the
"corpse" that individual uttered a
yell that startled the man with the
dead wagon.
Following soon after the above in
cident, Bill Tyson, the deaf and dumb
Indian, perpetrated his little Joke
about a man being killed on the rsil-
road above town. On that occasion
| the coroner's wagon stood at the cor
ner Of Court and Cottonwood streets
for an hour while Bill narrated to
the crowd what he had seen.
But a few days after the above
wussow. or Wilson, was drowned
from a raft in the river. but his body
was never seen after. Then on Mon
day morning the coroner was hur-
riedly summoned to Cayuse station to
care for another man who had been
run over by a train. On arriving at
the scene no man was to be found,
and the story turned out to be fake.
To add to the misfortune Of the
coroner the honorable county court
but few days ago refused to allow
| the bill for the inquest that was held
over the five Indians who we're burned
in the agency jail. In view Of all
these difficulties Mr.. Folsom is Won
dering just what has thrown such
hoodoo over his office, and he declares
, that hereafter when called forth in
| the roll Of coroner he will regard
/ the victim as still alive until proven
otherwise by more than circumstantial
evidence.

At this season of the year when
the orchardists of Umatilla county
are arranging to spray their trees and
are fighting fruit pests in every way,
the following brief talk from G. r.
Castner, a fruit inspector of Hood
River, before the recent meeting of
the Hood River horticultural society,
will lbe of much interest and value
Mr.. Cashiers remarks We're pointed
and practical and are as follows:
l was asked to prepare paper up
on this subject, but l find 1t much
easier to just tell what I wish to say
than to write it out in a regular form
on paper and have therefore decided
to say that which l consider of spec
al interest on the matter.
As l am county inspector and in
that capacity have travelled consid-
erably over the county you will no
doubt expect Jme to give you some-
thing in regard to the pests prevail
ing in the different sections.
My experience this year has been
along the line of San Jose scale. I
am very sorry to say that the san
jose scale Is on the increase. I at
tribute this largely to the use of
Dunns solid spray, which has been
used. and from which little or no
benefit has been derived by its use.
am asked on all sides and by al
most every grower what spray should
be used. While I do not wish to say
word against the manufactured
sprays, many OF which are on the
market. My hands are tied.
can recommend but one spray,
and that is one that has been demon
strated by experiment to be effective
in all cases and that is the sulphur,
lime and salt spray.
This has been found the best of all
sprays by the experiment stations and
also by the experience of many of our
growers in the valley OF the fungus
diseases I do not think there are any
that amount to much in this district
| Anthracose while it spreads slowly. It
! is a local disease and is confined to
small areas. In the low. moist local
| tiles this disease will spread, but
on higher and drier attitudes it will
not spread. Apple scab is kept in
check and cleaned up by good spray
ing Of bluestone and lime.
| believe the worst disease we have
to contend with is the mushroom or
| toadstool fungus. If you find any
OF these about your trees gather and
burn them and ifSthe trees are badly
! infected they should be grubbed up
and burned.
