ADVISES MUCH SPRAYING.
o. A. @. Professor Gives Valuable
Points on Codling Moth.

Portland" Cooling Moth" was
the topic of one of the series of Apple
Culture lectures delivered at the Y. M
c. A. by Professor Corblay of the Ore
gon Agricultural College.
A large audience heard the discourse
that was well Illustrated with stereop-
ticon views. The life and habits Of
the pest which infects apple trees in
all parts Of the world was very care
fully portrayed and remedies suggested
for its obliteration.
f'This pest destroys from. to 100
per cent of all the apple crops in the
world, but the average loss in every
orchard is 35 per cent" said the speak
er. "To spray with Paris Green was
found to be a remedy in the East but
through the efforts of several Western
men it has been found that to spray
four times a year with arsenate of lead
or with lime and sulphur solution
is very effective.
"The first spraying should be early
IN the year when the blossoms nave
just fallen and the spray should be
applied with great force into the bios
sons The next spraying should be
July l, when the apple is well formed
and at the time with the worm making
an effort to bore its way into the fruit.
The next application Should be made
about Augnust l, when the worms that
did get in are making, their way out
again"
Considerable care in the selection of
the material used and the mixing of the
solutions in the proper proportions was
very strongly advised. After the lee
ture, the speaker invited the audience
to ask questions regarding pests, and
for half an hour questions of all nature
were fired at him and readily replied
to.

THIRTY DIE IN FIRE
Chicago StOCkyaPds Burning and
Water Supply Frozen.
Falling Walls Catch Two Companies
and Only One Man Escapes
Fire Beyond Control.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-Fire Marshal Jas.
Horan and between 25 and 80 fremen
were killed and 40 others injured today
in fire which at an early hour had
caused $l,500,000 damage, and at 10
o clock still threatened the whole of the
stockyards district. A wall fell, crush
ing an overhanging wooden canopy on
the beef house of Morris s. Co., where
the fire started. Beneath the canopy
were two companies of fremen and the
chief. These men were crushed to death.
The debris made a furnace, into which
fremen were unable to dig for several
hours.
Assistant Chief William Burroughs
and Lieutenant Fitzgerald were with
the marshal under the canopy, receiving
orders for directing the fight against
the spreading flames into other quarters
and they went down to their death with
Horan.
Other fremen, witnesses of the dis
aster, for brief time deserted
the other parts of the blazing structures
and sought with their bare hands to
drag apart the glowing debris to bring
out the body Of their chief and his
companions. Finding this a vain ef-
fort, they obeyed again the direction
of Assistant Marshal Seyferlich, and re-
doubled their efforts to prevent the
spreading of the flames.
The hlaZa was disanunrad OF ohout
o'clock by watchman in the Morris
beef house, at Forty-third and Loomis
streets. An ammonia pipe, bursting,
started combustion that spread so
quickly that the watchman barely had
turned in the alarm before the flames
began bursting from the buildings.
Fire Marshal Horan, at his home on
the West Side, heard the second call for
apparatus, and went to the stockyards
in his automobile. By the time of his
arrival his assistants had abandoned
the effort to save the beef house and
were endeavoring to head off the rush
of fire toward other buildings. Flames
were coming from several structures
near by. The awning which later be-
came the destroyer Of a score of lives
seemed to offer a shelter from the
tlames.A Under this the crews fed for
shelter, led by Horan, Burroughs and
Fitzgerald.
On top of the canopy another group
of fremen played streams of water into
the heart of the fire. Suddenly Lieu
tenant Joseph Mackey, leader of the
band above, felt the wall going, and
shouted warning to those below. He
jupmed with his men and escaped death.
But below the canopy found victims.
Meanwhile fremen who knew moth
ing of this, and augmented by constant
ly arriving aides, were standing in the
path of the flames. They stood their
ground at building after building, only
to be driven back.

Pittsburg Family Holds Record for
Thrift.

Pittsburg Family Holds Record for
Thrift.
Pittsburgh tale of comfort and
thrift contrary to the usual ones of
distress was unfolded in the Juvenile
court here by Miss Nance Oppenheim-
er, probation officer, to the court and
spectators. A family of IL is support
ed on an income of $1.35 day, but
how it is done has not been disclosed.
Miss Oppenhemer told the story
when she requested Judge Cohen to al
low Antonio Elf, 10 years old, to 60
home. He was arrested for being in
the streets late at night.
"He has a splendid home, your
honor" said Miss Oppenheimer. ellis
mother" pointing to the woman stand
ing by the lads side, "is a splendid
housekeeper, and they have 10 bright
children, of whom the oldest is girl
13 years DID,"
az don't know how they do it," said
Miss Oppenheimer, later, "but they
are nice people and better home condi-
tions couldn't be asked for. Every
thing is neat and orderly, and there is
no lack of wholesome food for the en-
tire family. The father is laborer
and earns one dollar and thirty-five
cents day. That man is credit to
any community"
Without further ado the boy was al
lowed to go home with his mother.

The report accompanying the meas.
ures is a remarkable document. It
quotes the declaration of the rights of
man to prove that public services have
been instituted for the public good, not
for the benefit of those to whom they
have been confded from which it de-
duces the conclusion that the Interrupt
tion of public service is a crime. At
the same time it admits that public SER
vice employees, like other workers, have
a right to amelioration of situations,
and in Cancellation and arbitration it is
proposed to give them weapon Gas
powerful as the strike.'
The companies must accede, the re,
port declares, "because it is now CON
ceded as principle of jurisprudence
that the state, in conceding public SER
vice monopolies, does not waive its right
to interfere and compel the concession
aires to grant ameliorations in the in
terest of public good and the preserva-
tion of public order"

Total Property Value of State as Re-
turned by Counties.

Salem.-The total assessed value of
taxable property in the State of Ore
gon, when finally equalized by the state
board of equalization, will be about
$S25,000,000. This is on basis of a
full value assessment, though few of
the assessors have made their assess
ments for the full value. The total
value of property assessed by the coun-
ty assessors ara as equalized' by the
county boards of equalization is $747,-
624, ,404.74. This sum will not be altered
by the state board of equalization, but
the assessments in the different counties
will be adjusted. so that no county
will suffer because its assessor did as.
sess for the full value of the property.
The following tables gives the total

Chicago-Four millions of dollars a
year was what the officials of 81 West
ern railroads put in the stockings of
the locomotive engineers. The gift
brought "peace and good will" and
averted what might have proved .one
of the most disastrous strikes in the
history of the country.
Commissioner of Labor Charles P.
Neill played the part of Santa Claus to
the engineers. For seven days he
worked to bring the railroads and the
engineers together and with his work
accomplished he left in the afternoon
for his home in Washington to spend
Christmas with his family.
In spite of their repeated assertions
that they had reached the limit, the
managers made concessions in the face
of threatened strike. Concessions
were made by the engineers also, but
they established two of the chief points
for which they contended-jurisdiction
over motor trucks and an increased
schedule for the Mallet type of engine.
The increase granted the men runs as
high as IA per cent on certain engines
and as low as per cent on the higher
paid runs. The average increase to
the payrolls of the railroads is 10 1-9
ner cent
