Manager Rex Spray Co.,

North Yakima, Wash.
Dear Sir: Referring to our CONVEX
sation of yesterday regarding the Rex
Spraying solution as fungicide, find
that where the Lime-Sulphur solution
has been used carefully and thorough
ly by our fruit growers, the fungus
disease known as "Fusiclaudium dem
triticum" has entirely disappeared.
AS you are aware, this has been
one of the most injurious diseases af-
fecting the apple and pear. Our best
growers have come to the conclusion
that by two sprayings with the Lime
Sulphur-Salt solution the Bordeaux
mixture is hardly necessary.
Mr.. Scott, chairman OF the Proyln-
cial Board of Horticulture, stated at
the last meeting of the board that
hereafter he would use only two spray
ing enthusiastically as fun
gicide and insecticide combined, and
the Arsenate of Lead as remedy for
all leaf-eating and biting insects.
notice that fruit that is coming to
the market at the present time, grown
in the orchards where the Lime-Sul-
phur solution has been used is much
superior. In point of fact, we have no
occasion to condemn any fruit coming
from orchards that have been care
fully and thoroughly sprayed with this
invaluable solution.
If this statement is of any value to
you, it may be used as you see fit.
Yours truly,
THOMAS CUNNINGHAM,
Inspector of Fruit Pests.

Dear Sir:
Replying to your query as to the re-
suits obtained from the use of lime

sulphur and salt for the past eight
years and until three years ago with
out any very marked results; three
years ago we began spraying as soon
as the fruit was off, and we sprayed
not only the trees, but the ground and
the old fences. The results have been
very noticeable We have very little

Ex-Presidsnt Grover Cieveland's iast
Words to the American People.

There is fear on my part OF being
misunderstood in what l am about to
say, but surely the fair-minded man
must realize when he considers my at
titude towards my own party, all now a
matter of immutable record that it is
prompted by sense of simple fairness.
Personally and officially have had the
opportunity of knowing many things
concerning Mr.. Taft that were not a
matter of general knowledge, and with
Keen interest / have watched his
large share in the conduct of our ma
tional affairs in very recent years.
His excellence as federal judge in
Cincinnati is something not to be I'M
derestimated or accomplished, for
should he come to the Presidential
chair the qualities which made him
Judge of high ability which know him
to have been, will be the most needful
to him as President of the United
States. His high ideals of honesty and
of relative justice, his great capacity
for severe labor, and his humorous wis
dom in the face of the serious problem
are attributes equally valuable and
commendatory to a people seeking him
in whom they may repose the trust of
their collective interests while they turn
their increased attention to their pres

Mr.. Fordney's Great Succ ess.

From the Saginaw Courier Herald.
There is much of interest to be
found in an analysis of the vote in
TUESDAYS congressional primary and
many facts are brought out very prom
inently. First of all, it is again made
evident that Congressman Fordney
stands closer than ever to his constitu-
ents, and that as a vote getter he is
without peer. In every county and
every section of the four counties in
the district Mr.. Fordneys strength was
made known, with the result that his
own vote in the primary election prac-
tically equals the entire Democratic
vote cast in the district two years ago.
1t must not be believed that the
great victory at the primary by Con-
gresham Fordney in his home county
is responsible for his nomination. Elm
mating Saginaw county entirely, with
its nine votes for Fordney to one for
Mr.. Fitzgerald, and taking the returns
from the three remaining counties, of
which one is the home of the defeated
candidate, it will be found that Mr..
Fordney carried these three by major
ity of III. Without Clinton county
and Saginaw, both of whom stood 10y
ally by their candidates, Mr.. Fordney's
lead is 419 in Shiawassee county and
about 496 in Tuscola, or in the two un-
preiudiced counties the present repre-
sentative is given majority of nearly
1000.
In Saginaw county Mr.. Fordney
made much more sweeping victory
than had been expected in the primary.
In vote of 5,115 his opponent was able
to rally only 527, a number so small
that it proves there is not the slightest
dissatisfaction in his own party in this
county with Mr.. Fordney. This in
itself is a magnificent tribute to Mr..
Fordney. There can be no man in
politics for period covering ten years
as congressman, such as Mr.. FordneY
has enjoyed, who at various times has
not been unable to comply with the
personal desires of his constituents. BY
not so doing it is the general rule of
politics that an enemy is made and that
the person disappointed will ever be an
active ANTI" worker. Men who hold
public positions must recognize such
an element of voters and their hostility,
at first covert, later becomes open and

The growing Importance of the
sugar beet industry is shown by the
fact that its acreage is steadily increas-

of the limitation of other exceedingly
profitable crops, In Wisconsin, for in

tremely favorable season, shows fall

WALL STREET GAMBLING.

Next to the speedy and impartial
administration Of justice, says the
New York World the greatest issue
now on in that state is that regarding
Wall street gambling. Discussing the
subject further it says
without Wall street gambling the
profits from the control Of railroads
would be derived from their opera
tion and management, not from ma
nipulation of stock issues. Without
the gambling facilities of the Stock
Exchange the artificial market could
not have been created for unloading
on innocent investors millions of dol
lars of fictitious securities issued by
the traction merger. Wall street
gambling invites and makes proflta-
bic the traction crimes for which the
100000 people of New York are now
paying the penalties which should
have been inflicted upon Thomas F.
Ryan and his associates.
The New York Stock Exchange
conducts the biggest business in the
United states. 1t handles more values
than all the farms. railroads and fac
tories. Its demands upon banking re-
sources are greater than those of all
the crops. Its effect upon the rates
Of interest on loans is greater than
the borrowings of all the states. coun-
ties and municipalities of the United
States.
In its effect upon general business
conditions a Stock Exchange failure
is more disastrous than a bank fail
ure In most bank failures the de-
positors have an assurance of being
paid in full. The loss falls upon the
stockholders. In Stock Exchange
failures the customers are lucky to
get back 10 cents on the dollor and
instead of the loss falling upon the
stock Exchange its rules provide that
its members shall have the first lien
on the most valuable assets of a fail
eG firm, its Stock Exchange seats.

The question of whether or not the
wooden mill can be made to pay has
been settled. After a careful inspec-
tion OF the plant and having a full
knowledge of the business in all its
intricacies, ]. P. Wilbur reported to
the Commercial association commit
tee yesterday that the mill is capable
of earning a net profit of $4,000 a
year.
BY reason Of his lifelong expert
cree in the wooden mill business and
the marked success he has had in
the same, Mr.. Wilbur is qualified to
speak as an authority upon the sub
ject. The business men who heard
him yesterday took his report as cor
rect.
This being the case, let it be set
down now. once and forever, that
Pendleton is a wooden mill town. If
the present mill is not retained an
other mill will be secured in the fu-
ture as sure as the sun shines upon
the Umatilla river and live men live
iE Pendleton,
But the logical thing to do is to Sc
cure the present plant under a lease
and operate it for a year or more
under the right management to dem
oustrate the possibilities of the busi-
ness. Then the mill can be moved
to a more suitable location and inn
proved and enlarged. Under right
management it can be built into an
industry employing not merely 25 or
50 people, but $50 or 200 skilled la
borers.
The meeting at the Commercial
association rooms yesterday showed
that the business men Of the city are
awake and alive to the situation. The
bankers and the leading merchants of
the city were there. They are now
working together like a clock for the
upbuilding Of Pendleton. They have
gone to the bottom Of the woolen
mill problem. They have found that
the industry is a good one for tnis
town They have found out where
past difficulties came from.
These men are now going to save
this industry for Pendleton or know
the reason why. If they cannot save
the present mill they viii get another
plant
Meanwhile the vatcnword of the
business men Of this city should be
town patriotism. The man who al
lows any personal consideration,
whether great or small. to block or
hamper the movement for a wooden
Mill is a traitor to Pendleton.

\ GOOD DECISION.

The rank and file Of the people Of
Oregon viii applaud the decision
given in Portland yesterday by Cir
cult Judge Gantenbein. His decision
holds that the general Sunday closing
law is unconstitutional and it sets

ion.
Judge Gantenbein holds that the
law is legally wrong because it was

unconstitutional because the consti-
