"China is waking up, Slowly per-

marked changes have taken place.
The most pronounced change is in the
many new railroads that have been

any other one thing. The railroad

Dividend of 80 Per Cent

Word was received from Washing
ton this week hat the comptroller Of
the currency had declared 80 per
cent dividend TO be paid to the de-
positors of the First National Bank
OF Billings. This means that about
100000 will be distributed during the
next few days as the checks have
been dispatched by express from the
National capitol and will arrive this
week.
While it was generally expected
that there would be dividend this
month, before the Christmas season,
no definite advices were to be had un-
til telegram was received Monday
evening announcing the action taken
by the comptroller.

Last Thursday the City Council held
Its Regular Meeting in the
Offices Of DR.. Campbell

After considering reports and allow
ingA bills the remainder of the even
ing was devoted to the consideration
of report by G.. M. Thorp on the
water works system to be installed.
G. M. Thorp, civil engineer, from
Livingston made survey of the town
some time ago and submitted his re-
port last week. He suggested that a
committee be appointed to test the
we'll and pump on the hill north of
town before definite steps should be
taken. A committee composed of
Mayor Anderson, A. G. Graves and
II. A. Weber are to test the well and
pump and report at the next meeting.
Mr.. Thorp said that it would be folly
to begin work on the system before
spring. At present rate of progress
it would not be surprising to see a
water works system installed in this
city sometime during the year 1912.

Natural causes" explained the

West, a district medical examiner,

and as late as Thursday transacted
some business with one of the officials
of the church. She took her daily

death. Saturday night She fell quietly
asleep, and those around her could at
first hardly realize that she had gone
Her thought was clear until the last,
and she left no final message"

MEDFORD AND BAKER
AS JOBBING CENTERS

Salem, Ore.-Medford and Baker
City have filed complaints before the
railroad commission at Salem that
Will precipitate the most vigorous
fight for more favorable rates that
has yet been carried on before that
body. The demand of these smaller
cities Is for distributive rates SO that
they can be made tobbing centers and
is very similar to the now famous
Spokane rate case, In that instance
before the Interstate Commerce COM
mission.
II these progressive Oregon cities
are able to obtain distributive rates
OF any significance 1t will mean the
loss to the city of Portland Of consid-
cradle business, all that business in
fact that now is carried on by the
Portland jobbers in the vicinity of
Baker City, in the eastern part of the
state. and Medford, in the southern
part. The commercial organiza-
tions Of both cities that are bringing
the complaints mean business and
the railroad commission expects to
give the matter a full investigation
at an early date.
As an adjunct to the demand for
distributive rates both the CONNER
cial organizations and each Of the
cities named have also filed a COM
plant alleging discrimination and de-
manding commodity rates on more
articles. If all these demands are
granted Baker City and Medford will
be formidable rivals in a portion Of
Portland's field for the jobbing busi-
ness.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-09-09

Is an innovation in eastern Washing
ton. H. N. Lichty. an orchardist in
the Yakima-Sunnyside district, west
of Spokane. has perfected a plan to
place the science Of growing CONNER
cial fruit Of the highest quality and
color and uniform size upon a practi-
cal basis.
Explaining his plan, Mr.. Lichty said
that in every thoroughly cultivated
apple orchard there are trees which
stand out for yielding most Of the
prize winners at national and state
shows. Scions are taken from these
and transformed to other trees by
budding and grating, thus raising the
quality. The trees are recorded upon
an orchard plat, then registered and
pedigree is issued to the owner.
'I do not claim that all trees so
grown will produce premium winning
fruit" he added, "as that cannot be
said Of pedisreed livestock; but the
experience of the foremost growers in
the northwest and the other parts of
the United States and Canada will
show that a greater percentage of
high grade trees is raised by following
a common sense system than by or
charding in the old fashioned way. Ny
own experiments prove there are su-
peror strains Of the several varieties
of standard apple trees"
Professor w. S. Thornber head of
the horticultural department at the
State of Washington college, Pullman,
and growers in the annie helts in east
ern Washington and elsewhere, ap-
prove the Lichty plan, the former say
ing that the products Of healthy trees
may be improved by budding and
grating from superior stock. He add
ed there is just as much difference in
apple trees Of the same variety as
there is in horses of the same breed.
The plan of registering trees and
keeping 4 record Of yielding perform
ances is also endorsed
