FIVE feet high and the third being at
or near the edge Of the lake proper.
instead of seven miles back mp the
river as at present, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
II took the stream $4,000 years to
hollow out the first three miles OF
the gorge, but only 1000 years for
the other four miles The difference

NehaIem "Bceswax" Has Been Found
to Be Ozocerite.
That the product found in the sand at
the mouth of the Nehalem river, pop
ularly believed to be beeswax from a
wrecked Spanish galleoD, is valuable
substance known to chemistry as ozo-
cerite, was the statement made by J..
j. Walter, president of the Mccartney
City Hyrdocarbon Oil company, a cor
poration organized to exploit the pro-
duct For years visitors to that coast
have picked up the wax-like Jumps that
have strewn the. beach tthere. The
general opinion has prevailed that il
was beeswax brought from Manila for
one of the Spanish settlements in Cali
fornia and that the ship was wrecked
there. The discovery was made as
early as 1913 by the Indians.
Kit Carson, the famous scout, now
employed as an assayer by the govern
me mt, visited the place and announced
that the supposed beeswax was none
other than ozcerite, a product Of hydro
carbon oil, found only in South Amer

Orchardists Find II Most Trouble

Black spot csnker is one Of the most
troublesome fruit pests of the North
west and one which fruit growers must
understand and be able to recognize il
they expect to make Roadway against it.
During the fall the spores or "seeds"

ton very favorable for the termination
of spores.
Black spot canker is responsible for
the great part of frui, rotting that
occurs. The most effective treatment
is a thorough spraying with bordeaux
mixture in November, when the spores
or seeds are floating in the orchard.
Because the fungus gives such slighi
evidence of its presence in the bark II
the fall, and because so apparent in tbs
spring, many orchardists make the mis-
take of attempting to combat it in th'
spring after it has already gotten il
the bark. Such treatment is ineffect
