Fruit Peddlcrs Warned.

This morning / caught a fellow on
the streets of this city peddling fruit
that was covered with San Jose scale
and codling moth" said Special Horti-
cultural Inspector Joe Brown today.
Il want to say" he continued, that
II | find any more people peddling
fruit that is in any manner unlawful,
| will see that they are prosecuted to
the full extent of the law. This thing
has got to stop.
From a business standpoint it
seems strange to me that any one
would attempt to sell diseased fruit
on the Streets because the seller comes
In contact with his own first class
fruit and must sell 1t in competition
with that fruit. He sells his good fruit
TO the merchants for a fair price and
then tries to sell his stuff TO custom
e;s of the merchants.
This forces the merchants to sell
IN competition with the peddler's
uash. Then the farmer complains be-
cause the merchants will not pay bet
ter prices for fruit. Trafflcking with
Infected fruit is dangerous business
ana it will not be olerated.-Yakima

Sam turned up In Portland yesterday
and Is now in the hands Of the secret
service agent, Stephen A. Connel, says
the Journal. 1t is believed that the
counterfeit was made from a Mexican
or South American coin, This is pos
sible by shaving the coin and restamp-
ing 1t.
While the dollar is trlfle smaller
in thickness than the regulation dol
lar, 1t is a little larger in circumfer-
ence. The woman's head, while re-
sembling that on the United States
money, is a good representation, but
It, too, Is somewhat larger than the
head on the genuine coins.
It is believed that the dollar was
brought into Portland. owing to the
fact that no others have appeared 1t
is thought that the counterfeitlng is
being done in some other part Of the
country

Club Wheat Most Popular.

Club varieties make up fully so
per cent of Walla Walla countys
wheat crop this year, says the Waits
burg So say men intimately ac-
quainted with the local grain situa-
tion. Blue stem comes next with a
proportion OF between 30 and 80 per
cent OF the total yield, the remainder
being made up of Turkey Red and
other minor varieties.
The predominence of the club in
this section over all other varieties is
due to the fact that it yields the most
profit. True, it is there is a disparity
Of two or three cents per bushel be-
tween bluestem and club. in favor of
the former, but the greater yield per
acre over bluestem makes the latter
more profitable.
Bluestem is undoubtedly a better
quality of wheat, as the price would
Indicate and is used in the manufac-
ture Of the best grade of flours, in
cluding the fancy and patent brands,
while the club varieties are used for
export purposes.

Maltshnrg Nan Victim of Crooks.

Fred Aldrich, one Of our prominent
farmers, living near Alto, is kept busy
every time he comes to town, explain
ing an item which appeared in a Spo-
kane paper during the recent Inter-
state fair says the Waisburg Times.
Fred explains that it was one of his
hired men and not himself who was
relieved of $22 while visiting the
Spokane fair.
The Spokane paper saps that while
standing at the fair grounds, waiting
for his turn to ride, Aldrich CD was
victimi2ed by the much practiCed
rush" act' by which he was reliev-
ed of all his money, Half dozen
men came crowding and pushing
through the crowd and he suddenly
found himself in the center of the
vortex. He was too busy trying 10 es-
cape with whole limbs to think of his
money until it was too late to save It,.

On Losing YoGr Grip.

IO-ison Sweet, in Success Magazire1
Most of the people whom l have
met who are down in the world, or
talented people who are doing me-
diocre work, have last their grip.
And what does that mean.
1t mean that they have lost conf
dence in themselves. No man loses
his grip until he loses faith in him
self.
The grip and confidence Of most
people follow their moods. If their
courage is up, if they feel well, their
grip is iirme:'; but the moment they
get little discouraged, or have fit
Of the blues" they lose their grip,
and are soon way down.
Now, the wcll-trained man pays
very little attention to his moods. ex-
cept to show them that he intends to
be master, that he does not propose
to throw away coed days work
Just because he does not happen to
be in the right mood. When he goes
70 his office or store in the morning,
ne, goes there determined to do a
solid days work, to give his best;and
the result is that, after a while
moods have very little to do with
him. After he has conquered them
a few times, and shown himself inaS-
ter of his mental conditions, his
mind falls into line with his resoIu-
tion.
People who are victims of their
moods never amount to much, be-
cause they are never masters of
themselves.

Some IBtGTestiGs Facts.
(Eib:ical Eeeo:3cr.)


The Medical Record presents an
argument in favor of prohibition
tha. deserves careful consideration
and should be given the widest pos
sib!e publicity. Professor Pelman,
of Bonn University, Germany, made
a special study of hereditary drunk
enness,
"His method was to take special
individual cases, generation or two
back. He thus traced the careers of
children in all parts of the German
Empire until he was able to present
tabulated biographies Of the hun
dreds descended from some original
drunkards. Notable among the per-
sons described by Professor Peiman,
is Frau Ida Jurka, who was born in
174O, and was drunkard, a thief
and a tramp for the last forty years
Of her life, which ended in 1900.
Her descendants numbered $50, of
whom 1U6 were traced in local re-
cords from youth to death. Or the
700 born, lG0 were born out Of we'd
lock. There were IA beggars, and
62 more who lived from charity. Of
the women, 1s1 lived disreputable
lives. There were in the family rs
convicts, seven Of whom were SEN
fenced for murder. In the period of
some seventy five years this family
rolled up a bill Of costs in aims
houses, prisons and correctional in
stitutions amounting to at leas. s.
600, 900 marks, or about 81, 250. .OO0.'
