FIRE BLIGHT STAMPED OUT
o. A. c. Experts Wipe Out Pest Entire
ly at Hood River.

Remarkable results have been OBJ
tanned in Hood River by the college
experts, in eradioating fire Llight. ="
said Dean A. b. Cordley of the Oregon
Agricultural College. discussing the
progress of this branch of the pest
eradication work of the institution.
"Fire blight was first reported to
this experiment station from Hood
River last fall, and Prof. FL. S. Jack
son of our department of plant path
ology spent some two weeks with Mr.
Cassner, their county fruit inspector,
and the corps of inspectors. in locat-
ing the disease and outing it out as
thoroughly as possible.
"When W. H. Lawrence asst med
the duties of the Hood River fellow
ship in horticulture, one of the first
lines of work he took up was the
spring Investigation and eradication
of the disease. Together with Mr..
Oassner and four assistants he spent
something like two months in making
a careful investigation of every single
tree in over 5000 acres Of orchards.
They also made a ca1ful survey oi
trees in hundreds of acres of surround
ing orchards
''The results of this fall and spring
work under the direction of Professor
Jackson and Mr.. Lawrence appears tt
be that fire blight has been completely
eradioated from the Hood River re
gion.
"Tbis, sc far as know, is result
which has never Eefore been accom-
plished in any fruit growing region
that has once bern infested with fire
blight. They have not found a case
of fire blight there in the past two
months"
Regarding general orchard condi.
tions in that district. Dean Cordley
said: 81 found the orchards of Hood
River in excellent condition. The
crop will pei haps not be over fifty or
sixty per cont of that normally OBJ
tanned there, but it is of unusually
good quality"

NOT GUILTY, WAS
JURYS VERDICT
POSTMASTER WORTHINGTON is
ACQUITTED ON LARCENY CHARGE
While Giving Testimony, De.
fendant and George For
rest Exchange Blows.

Postmaster Wortbington was de
clared moi guilty of larceny of two
bundles of hay from the barn of Jos
eph Forrest. by the jury which heard
the evidence in Justice Richards
court last Friday afternoon.
Fred Pinkertou. the complaining
witness, and his wife swore on the
stand shat they saw Worthington take
the hay from Forests barn. On
cross examination. Pinkerton was led
ty Lawyer Watts into theadmission
that be would not have made COM
plant against Worthington bad be not
been sued by the postmaster for col
lection of an account. and this admis-
sion doubtless had weight with the
jurymen in their deliberations.
George Forrest gave evidence to the
effect that Mr.. Worthington approach
ed him with proposit tion to COM
promise the matter, acknowledging
that he had taken the hay.
After Forrest left tbe stand, Wor-
thington was called aud in giving his
testimony denied having taken hay
from Forests barn. He said that he
took some hay from barn further up
the alley, which had been given him
by W. S. Ferguson, when Mr.. Fergu-
son left town to resi- 1e on his farm.
The witness denied having made any
proposition to George Forrest relative
to compromising the matter, saying
that be asked Forrest if be knew whe-
ther or not his father had left any
hay in his barn when he went to the
ranch; that he (Worthipgton) had
sued Pinkerton, ard Pinkerton had
threatened to have him arrested on
the charge of stealing hay from the
Forrest barn; that George Forrest said
he didu't know anything about it. and
that Worthington would have to SEQ
his father regarding it.
The witness was then turned over
to Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Pruitt
for cross examination. Asked wheth-
er he had not offered to compromise
with George Forrest aud touching on
the conversation alleged to have taken
place with Forrest. Worthington EN-.
phasized his answer by turning to
George Forrest, wEo was sitting near.
aud shaking his fist in his face. For
rest slapped the postmaster with his
open hand and MI. Worthington re-
tallated with punch in the nose
which brought the claret. Both men
tied into each other and were separat-
ed, but not until more Flows had been
exchanged and one of the postmaster 8
eyes was discolored. They were as
sessed $40 each by Judge Richards
for contempt of court.
The jury was comprised of the fol-
lowing: A. l.. Swaggart, foreman;
5. L. Spencer, A. X. Wall, VIM.
Schrimpf. Chas. May. and Frank
