their attention so that they did not
notice the east bound limited which
was coming from the opposite direc-

JAPANESE ARE WORRIED.
Protest Against Action Of American
Railways.

/ TOXIC, July "a feeling Of less
apprehension seems TO be growing in
Japan with regard to the ultimate ac-
tion Of the five American railway
companies which threatened to raise
their fares on goods carried eastward
from the Eastern Coast. If the pro-
posed schedule be adopted a crush
ing blow will be given to the trade in
Japan's miscellaneous manufactures
which now occupy highly important
place in her export trade. A COM
bined protest having been made by
the Nippon Yusen Kaisba, the Mitsui
Company, the Toyo Kisen Kaisha
and the Morimura Guild, it is thought
probable that the directors Of the five
railway companies will reconsider
their decision.

As there has been some comment
about me regarding the referendum
legislation, which would try to put
me in the light of defeating our ends
OF the law, ! would like to make a
few statements, and put the blame II
there is any, in the right place. The
reason ! predicted that both FISH bills
would pass, and legislation to close
both ends of the river would prevail,
was because could plainly see, that
the main push, who was introduced
by the mayor at the mass meeting,
as "The Dewey of the FISH legisla-
tion," was only poor substitute for
q ervera, and since the defeat we have
sustained by his mismanagement, and
his lack of ingenuity, to comprehend
even the present situation pen these
few lines.
1t was plainly visible that the COM
mittee known as the Salmon Protec-
tive Association" which was to do
everything, was very badly chosen as
the president, although a good man,
did not have his heart in the work,
and the rest of the committee, outside
OF the Astorians, were simply bluff,
as there was no time, when they were
IN evidence, even at the big mass
meeting, when Dewey was the hero
Of the hour. He will not know until
he learns from this that we are more
IN jeopardy now than ever, as since
we got our knockout he has quit the

Seufert will at the next election, try
to pass measure to reverse the legis-
iation for his end of the river. So |
think if the people of the lower river,
think enough of the fishing privileges
they will take the matter in their own
hands, and leave out all imported
stock, as we have men in Astoria who
can do better than any outsider For
we have got to get to work, and work
constantly, until the next election, if
we would gain victory which any
fisherman of average intelligence
could guarantee small campaign
cost than the small and Insignificant
campaign that was put up at the last
election.
But you must remember that the
enemy are awake, and at work, and
at the last moment they will slip a
measure on file, when IT is too late
for us to do anything but combat
their measure, at disadvantage. This
measure will be popular with our
enemies, and will spell our utter de-
feat if we allow it to be initiated and
referred without a vigorous protest.

The following synopsis OF a pear
spraying experiment OF the Vermont
experiment station is testimonial to
the use OF the spraying machine on
pears:
All the sprayed trees (of the previ-
GUS year. were easily recognized by
the cleaner and brighter color OF the
bark The buds started earlier and
more vigorously Trees were sprayed
four or i've times with results as fol-
lows: Ninety nine per cent perfect
scab free fruit; only one scabby pear
In six barrels where trees were spray
ed five times, and but four in two bar
rels where the trees were sprayed
four times. Practically every pear on
unsprayed trees was scabby, 10 per
cent worthless for marketing and 81
per cent inferior to the sprayed fruit
The sprayed pears were valued In
New York at 50 %, the best OF the un-
sprayed fruit at $1.75 barrel.

HINTS FOR FARMERS


The Ohio experiment station has
made public a test made In feeding
corn and oats 70 work horses. The
test was made by selecting three pairs
OF matured geldings. One horse In
each pair was fed corn with clover
and timothy hay; the other was fed
oats with the same hay ration. The
test was continued for forty-elght
weeks. At the close there was little
II any difference In the condition Of
the horses fed corn from those TO
which oats had been fed. and no diff
ference was shown during tho test.
This test seems to show that the
value OF corn as ration for work
horses has been underestimated. Bet
ter results were obtained by feeding
corn In the ear than by feeding shelled
corn. 1t Is likely that rations Of corn
and oats alternated would give the
best results. Where alfalfa alone Is
fed for hay II Is probable that corn Is
better than oats II only one OF these
grains Is 10 be fed Horses will thrive
on hard work II fed plenty Of corn and
alfalfa. even In the hot season. but IL
Is better TO feed with these rations
