FLY WORRIES FRUIT MEN
Pacific Coast Importers to Aid in
Fight Against Pest.

SACRAMENTO, Cal. July 21-To
prevent the introduction Of The Medi-
teranean fruit fly into the Pacific
Coast States, Horticultural Commits
sioner Jeffrey has asked the co-opera-
tion Of Washington and Oregon with
California in taking every precaution
in the examination Of fruit cargoes
arriving from the Hawaiian Islands.
While the States Of Oregon and
Washington and the province Of Brit
ish Columbia have not taken so much
interest in the exclusion Of the fly,
which preys upon fruit and trees, as
it is not much of menace so far
north, it is thought that action look
ing to investigation and inspection of
fruit shipments, if not a strict quar-
antine against fruit, will be inaugur-
ated.
Ships from Honolulu land at Van
couver and also at Gray's Harbor,
and it will be at these ports that the
danger will lie.
Jeffrey said today that while there
are not so many fruits in the North
which the fly attacks, the danger Is
always present, so long as port is
open to Honolulu shipments. IF once
the fly gets on the continent and its
spread is not Immediately checked, it
would in time reach the orchards of
this state.

COPPERTEMPERlNG LEARNED
Oregon City Man Thinks He Has
Solved Lost Secret

Theodore Granquist, a Finlander,
who lives in West Oregon City,
brought to the Courier office knife
forged from solid copper, which he
had hardened and tempered and
which served all the purposes which
steel blade serves. The blade was
put to tests of wood cutting and the
edge held as well as steel blade.
The tempering and hardening of
copper is said to be lost art, and
that the ancients possessed the secret.
Mr. Granquist has worked on the
process for three years and he claims
he has discovered the long-lidden
secret. He also showed small bar
of the copper that to all appearances
and tests was nearly as hard as steel.
He has taken the matter up with
the patent Office and hopes to realize
something from his discovery.
Mr.. Granquist is native Of Oulun
Laani small settlement in Finland,
a would-be Russian annex, and came
to this country a few years ago, and
can speak but little English Copper
is one of the prominent minerals of
the country, and the people there are
familiar with it and its many uses.
If his secret process proves sue
cessful, great wealth is in store for
him, and not only will the name of
Granquist live in the annals Of his
tory, but the fact Of the development
of this wonder here in Oregon City,
will add much to Oregon's famous
old city, Oregon City Courier.

Loss Of Three Players Cripples Local
Team and They Lose
Interest.

The Greys played townball Sunday
ON the local diamond and we're defeat
ed by Corvallis by a 10 to 3 score.
The local team was badly crippled,
owing to the absence Of some of its
best players, and did not put the
amount Of pepper into the game that
fans thought it ought to. Bar
ham developed case of astigmatism
in his arm i'll the fourth inning and
couldn t locate the plate. tPeabo"
Shaw went in at the beginning of the
fifth, but Corvallis took kindly to his
offerings during the latter part Of the
contest. Cooper put one Of Bilyeu s
twisters over the right field fence for
home run in the sixth.
1t is announced that another game
with the Corvallis players will be arr
ranged to take place here Sunday,
August 6, when it is expected the
Dallas team will be greatly strength
ened, so as to be in position to win
back some Of the lost honors.

NOVEL IRRIGATION SCHEME
Hood River Man Tries Spraying
Trees in Dry Weather.

THE DALLES, Or, July 21.-Dr,
G. E. Sanders, who has a large pear
orchard on Three Mile Greek, Is try
ing a novel orchard experiment. Be
cause of the intense heat and lack OF
moisture in the atmosphere, pears
have ceased growing. DIR. Sanders
proposes to supply moisture by spray
inc his trees with water each evening
after the sun goes down.
His theory is that at this stage OF OF
tbe growth of the fruit it draws so
per cent of its sustenance from the
leaves. and if there is a shortage oil
moisture in the air the fruit Is not
supplied with sufficient water, and
hence ceases to grow. If by spraying
tbe trees with water, which he be-
iieves will be absorbed by the leaves
and transmitted to the fruit, he sue, sue,
ceeds in growing perfect fruit, he VIII
have demonstrated a new idea IN
fruit culture.

Hop prices are already soaring and
dealers declare they expect to see
hops reach the 35-cent mark this sea-

% cents, and the average was IL
cents. This year some Of the growers
have already refused offers of %
cents.
According to an expert on hops the
California crop will not equal that Of

will be greater this year than in the
years past. There are very few old
hops in storage and the market will
be filed with nothing but new hops
this year.
In the hop fields near Wheatland,
