 In the supreme court the race is going to be easy, from the present outlook. Judges N. D. Denson and John Anderson have to run for full terms, theirs having about run out, and Judge A. D. Sayra will have to run for a short term left by the promotion of Judge Joseph R. Dowdell to the head of the court. Judge Dowdell is going to have a single short race the chief place if Judge Weak ley does get into the race for governor. That Is the way 1t looks now, at any rate, though no one can tell whether or not some others will not look with long- ng eyes upon the plums.

Letter From County Horticultural Inspector


A short time ago 1 made a trip to
Leavenworth in order to make an in
vestigation Of a trouble with fruit trees
in that locality supposed to be entirely
due to black spot canker. I went all
over those tracts in company with Mr..
Thompson and took specimens from
various parts of the Cascade Orchards.
l expressed myself at that time as
being thoroughly convinced that the
greater part of the trouble was due to
winter-killing, but that there might
also be canker there.
AS the latter trouble is not prevalent
on this side of the mountains I was not
familiar enough with it to say certainly
whether or not there was real canker
there or not. Therefore, l sent some
of the most likely specimens to Prof.
F. A. Huntley, State Commissioner of
Horticulture.
Upon receipt of the specimens.
Prof. Huntley writes as follows: This
is a we'll defined case of canker, there
is also evidence OF winter-kill, which in
my opinion was directly caused by the
weakened condition of the trees af-
fected with canker."
For the canker, the proper remedy
is the double strength Bordeaux mix
ture, applied in the fall. Winter in
jury will be outgrown to large extent
but the parts that are entirely killed
should be cut out.
Respectfully yours

The Socialists are lined up solidly

have a strong representative in next

furnish the Socialists better fighting

Memory Of Two Rabbis HonOred.
Cincinnati, Nov. 6.-Under the
auspices of the Hebrew Union col
lege interesting exercises were held
today in celebration of the hundredth
anniversaries of the births OF Sam
uel Adler and David Einhorn, the two
famous New York rabbis, who share
with DR.. Wise of Cincinnati the repu-
tation as founders of reformed Juad-
ism in America
DR.. Einhorn was born in Bavaria,
November 10, 1909, of wealthy par
ents. He progressed so rapidly in his
rabinical studies that he was made a
rabbi in his sixteenth year. His ad-
vanced views met with opposition
from the Austrian government, so
that in 1855 he came to America and
located in Baltimore. Ten years later
he removed to New York and until
his death in 1879 he was rabbi of the
famous congregation of BETHEL.
DR.. Adler was born in Worms, Ger
many, December 1909, the son of
an associate rabbi. Notwithstanding
the fact that he was subjected to
want and privation he succeeded in
securing a classical education. He
op;Orotod tn Amorica in 1QE7 md
became rabbi of the Emanuel con-
gregation in New York city. He was
a profound scholar and wrote extern
sively on many subjects. His death
occurred in New York, June 9, 1891.
