Timely Advice to Tree BUYERS.

To the Editor of the Kennewick
Courier:
Permit me, through the columns
OF your valuable paper, to advise the
people that are setting orchards and
those that are contemplating plant
ing orchards, to refuse to accept any
nursery stock for planting orchards,
until it has been thoroughly inspect
ed. I would say in addition, that
it will be we'll for you to ask the
nurseryman or agent to show his
certificate of inspection. You of the
Kennewick valley are just beginning
to plant out orchards and it is we'll
that you start right, and if you start
your orchards with clean stock you
will have clean orchards, I must say
that you cannot be too carefnl about
the trees that you plant out. As
one ounce of preventative is worth,
n this case many pounds of cure.
It has cost in other Sections many
thousands of dollars, to get rid of
the diseases and pests, and it was
all owing to the Indifference of the
fruit-growers in keeping out disease
and pests. This little matter of
precaution should not apply only to
the people of Kennewick but it
should apply to all of the fruit-grow-
ing sections. So if you are not wise
to the situation, get wise and do not
accept any trees for planting an
orchard unless they have been
thoroughly inspected. So do not
plant out any trees without inspect
ion and you will never regret the
precaution.
Respectfully,
J. w. BROWN,
Special Horticulturist Inspector.

The ForSer Caught and Jailed.

Otto Viergutz, who forged checks
on G. w. Lane and w. B. Williams
on October 26th, was located in
Missoula, Montana, by marshal Ellis
and arrested by the Missoula deputy
sheriff. Marshal Ellis arrived here
with him Friday. Saturday his
preliminary was held before Judge
Richardson and he was bound over
to the Superior Court. Viergutz
plead guilty to the charge and ad-
mitted be was in for it.
Viergutz forged two checks for S45
each, on G. w. Lane and one for S65
on W. B. Williams. He got the
cash on one of the $45 checks at
Ashbaugh's and on the other at King
&Son's. The $65 check was passed
at The Kentucky Bar. The checks
were passed on Sunday evening and
the forgeries discovered Monday.
The two were fairly good limitations
Of Lanes signature but that of
Williams was a bungling job. Mar
shall Ellis went to Walla Walla to
trace him up. There were two clues
to work on. During the five mon
tbs Vierfutz worked on the Williams
ranch he had shipped fruit and
some other articles to a woman in
Great Falls, Montana, whom he
said was his sister. The other was
that he kept up correspondence
with and sent money to an inmate
of a house of i'll fame at Walla
Walla. Ellis discovered that this
woman had left Walla Walla for
Missoula just prior to his trip
down there. He reasoned that Vier-
gutz would show up either Missoula
or Great Falls. Descriptions of
the man was sent to both places
and in a very few days he was in
the tolls. It was a clever piece of
work by the officers. He will un-
doubtedly plead guilty and go over
the road, which will have tend
ency to stop this kind of work in
this section for some time.

scientlsts, Debt to the FROG.

Professor S. J. Holmes of the gov
ernmental research laboratories at
Washington opines that most OF what
is known in certain departments OF
physiology is derived from a study OF
frog structure and function. Perhaps
no animal except mar has been the
subject of so many scientific investi.
cations. One seldom picks up a vol
ume Of physiology without finding
the frog the theme OF some generaliza-
lions. The late Professor Huxley said
that frogs seem to have been design
ed as a foundation for biology. With
the discovery that frogs. like human
beings, are attacked by mosquitoes, a
whole line of new research has been
recently opened, and parasite life has
been much better understood since IL
has been known that frogs are hosts
to a number of parasite forms. Not
the least interesting of researches Is
based on the certainty that a frog

days of scouting before tho dogs can

The hunter must look sharp for

Ants DESTROY Oak SiIls,

w, M. Thompson, a grocer of Rock
Vile. has had an unusual experience
with ants. For several years he has
observed that in the spring a certain
variety OF black ants, with white
wings. swarm like bees from %crevices
about the foundation of his house, in
South College street. Usually three
or four swarms, seemingly millions,
would issue forth at intervals and fly
away. The thought of any damage to
his house, however, was not dreamed
of until recently, when an examina-
ton revealed the fact that the founda-
ton stills consisted only of a thin out
er shell, the whole interior being re-
duced to a powder.
Within the last week some sixty.
eight feet OF sills in this condition
were removed from the east side OF
the building and the sill under the
south side also vas removed. These
sills were 10x12 inch hewed oak

While out riding ex-Councllman

Women Smokers.

The majority of healthy women are
destined to become wives, mothers, or,
at least aunts, nurses, or guardians
in some other capacity of the children
of the race. Broadly speaking, the
physical and moral up~-bringing OF the
young in their most critical years
devolves solely on women. Tobacco

This May Be True.

It Is said that a few weeks ago TWO
women who sat down in a park near
each other to rest after being engaged
all day in looking at hats, contded to
each other the particular troubles that
impelled them to move from the flats
they then occupied. A few moments
later one of them asked che other
where she lived, and then the fact came
out that they lived in the same fiat
building, and that each of them was
moving to get rid of a nuisance charge
able to the other. This may or may
not be a May moving yarn, but it ought
to be a lesson to all discontented ten
ants. If they are annoyed, let them
ask themselves whether they do not
annoy others.-Chicago Chronicle.

TO REMOVE WALL PAPER.

A novel but very effectual method
of removing wall paper was adopted
recently. The paper hangers found,
when they started to repaper the
rooms that there was layer after lay
er of paper o. the walls, six thick
nesses in some instances, and they
decided that these should come off be-
fore the new paper was put on. 0
sequently a full head of steam was
generated in the boiler, the radiators
in the various rooms uncoupled from
the steam pipes, doors closed and tint
steam turned on. Steam was forced
into the rooms.in this manner for near
ly three quarters of an hour a1ter
which the paper was pulled from the
wall without the slightest difficulty
and in less than enc tenth the time
which the ordinary method of remov'
ing paper would have consumed.

points About the Pulse.

The formal pulse has a wide range,
but is always faster in females than
males, and steadily declines from
birth to death. Eminent physicians
have thought it possible to tell a
persons sex and age from the pulse
alone.
The average rate at birth is 100
beats a minute in girls and 150 in
boys: at the age of four or five, ITO
and 100: in maidens and youth, IS
and 80; in maturer women n men,
60 and so. In M recorded case the
pulse of a healthy mar Of eighty
seven was only 80 a minute.
The pulse varies with stature, po-
sition Of body, exercise and health.
and in disease it has been known u

denunciation of "the" before Tyrol,

out the article, he says, for there is
only one Tyrol. A "Bayarian Tyrol"
and an italian Tyror' do not exist,
and, therefore, "the Austrian Tyrol"
is also a wrong expression. Still,
probably half of the people who visit
Tyrol in Summer or Winter throw In
