Horses Die of Walking Disease.

The dread walking disease" has
again struck the Walla Walla Valley
and it is estimated that 100 horses
have died from its effects. No horses
stricken have been known to recover.
The cause of the disease is unknown
and no cure has been discovered.
The symptoms are walking. The
horse will walk over anything, any
where and, in the last stages of blind
ness and madness, win walk into a
fence, barn or any other obstruction,
the only desire of the animal seems to
be to walk. Sometimes the horses
live only a night as was the expert
ence of II. H. Huugate, large
rancher. A. 2. Persons horses lasted
longer and most of the animals strick-
en- live from week to two weeks,
walking at every opportunity, suffer
ing terribly. Farmers are now shoot
ing horses showing first signs of the
disease, in order to stamp it out and
save suffering. -Oregonian.

FEAR THAT FRUIT
MAY TASTE OF OIL

What will it profit the apple growers
Of kans az II the states greaest fruit
crop this year is tainted with the flavor
Of crude oil? People will not buy
apples that taste or smell of the smut
and smoke OF burning oil Hundreds
Of orehardists are worrying over this
matter. Two weeks ago when "a severe
frost was threatened the owners of big
apple orchards lighted the fires in
thousands of crude oil stoves scattered
among the blossoming fruit trees.
Now they fear that the use of crude
oil in these smudge pots may cause the
loss Of many thousands of dollars
worth of fruit on account of the odor
and taste left by the SCOT of tie burn
ing oil. The orchard men and the
commission houses are anXiousiy wait
ing for the fruit 70 mature to deter
mine If any damage was done.
Last year the oil was used by many
fruit growers. but without damage, as
the smudges were burned before the
trees were in bloom and before tie
leaves came out. This year the trees
were in full bloom and in tNu thirds
Of the state the fruit had llen formed
and the leaves were out when the frost
signals came from the weather bureau.
The burning oil makes a heavy black
smudgo and thick scot was deposited
Oh the foliage and petals of the flowers
and on the small fruit deep down
among the petals. 1t is feared that
this SCOT will be taken into the fruit
and that the odor and taste will remain
and spoil it entirely for use as food.
When the oil was used last year the
trees were out in bloom or in leaf,
and the SCOT was washed off the limbs
and twigs before the fruit was formed.
Fruit growers say the SCOT collected on
the leaves and blossoms and remained
there because no general rain followed
to wash it off, They fear the growing
fruit will absorb the odor from the
leaves. Kansas City Record Harold.

NO BOND ISSUE NOW.
Corporation Tax Decision Did Away
With the Necessity.

Boston. March 16.-Secretary of
the Treasury MacVeagh spent afew
hours at the custom house here in
with Collector Edwin U.
Curtis.
Speaking of the finances of the
government and new Panama canal
loan, Secretary MacVeagh said:
Although it has been the general
impression that a block of new per
cent Panama bonds would be issued
after the adjustment of the corpora
ton tax. we are in no immediate need
ofAfunds. In fact, while 1 am having
plates engraved for the bonds, neither
the amount nor the time of the issue
has been decided. The first issue
however, Will probably be not more
than $500, goo, 900.
1.-The decision of the corporation tax
litigation in favor of the government
has changed the complexion of the
government finances for the moment.
This decision involved a matter of
$50, 100000 to the treasury immediate
~. OF this amount $27, 900, 600 repre-
SCENTS the amount collected last year.
We estimate the income from the tax
this year at $25,000.90O so that with
the $52,000.000 remaining in the treas
ury the immediate necessity of a bond
issue is precluded.
THE treasury will close the current
fiscal year June 80, with a total de-
felt of about $30,o00,OOO."

SCHEDULE AT A TIME.
Senator Browns Plan for a Revision
of Tariff.

Lincoln, March 16.-That there
should be revision of the tariff a
schedule at a time and with a coun-
try at time was the doctrine an
nounced today by Senator Norris
broWn at luncheon given in his hon
or py the Lincoln Commercial club
lie declared that the standpatters and
progressives believe that the duty
charged by this country should be rep
resented by the difference in the cost
OF production here and abroad.
Inc dlfference in cost of produc
tlon varies in the different countries
with whom We trade" he said. eff
the rule announced by the last Repub-
mean platform is the correct one, then
the only scientific manner of dealing
with this tariff question is to perfect a
trade agreement with each country.
Reciprocity, not only with Canada
but alno with all of the western
world and eventually with the crowd
ed people of the Old World was the
dream of James G. Blaine. He was
the prophet of this movement which
President Taft insists shall be given a
practical start.
There can be little doubt that the
next decade will find amicable and re-
clprocal- agreements in force among
many nations of the two Americas.
Il am for revising the tariff a
schedule at time and country at a
time. So long as we all agree that the
duty should be measured by the diff
ference in cost of production, the duty
must be different as to countries be-
cause the cost of production is not the
same in all countries. Take Canada
for instance if we apply the rule OF
fixing the duty by the cost of produc-
ton, we would have free trade with
Canada. For it cannot be shown that
anything, whether raw material or
the manufactured article costs less to
produce in Canada than in the United
Station

FISHING TUG LOST.
Silver Spray Sinks in Lake Erie With
Crew of Seven.

Cleveland, O., March 16.-One fishing
tug, with a crew of seven. is lost as
result of the. gale that swept over
the lakes yesterday and is still raging
on Lake Erie.
The Silver Spray of Erie, Pa, opera
ted by the Booth Fisheries company,
went down off Cleveland harbor after
battling with the heavy seas for 20
hours. The last seen of her was at
2 a. m. today when Captain Hansen, of
the life saving station, sighted a vessel
a few miles out burning torches as sig
nails of distress.
This morning the tug Buckeye, Cap
tain Cornelius patrolling the breakwa-
pilot house of the Silver Spray af1oat
off East Fortieth street. Two bodies,
which Captain Cornelius believes were
those Of members of the Silver Spray
crew were lying on the breakwater. 1t
was impossible for the tug to get near
enough to take off the bodies.
The Silver Spray has been in COM
mission five years and was regarded
as the most durable boat in the fleet
of fishing tugs. Members of the fleet
that left here yesterday for the first
cast of the season however say the
boats engine acted badly shortly af-
ter it cleared the breakwater.
Thrilling stories of a battle to make
ing over their vessel and freezing spray
Transforming it into a mass of ice, were
told by the eight members of the crew
of the Effle B., another member of the
fishing fleet which put into the harbOr
at a. M, today. All the other tugs
which were out in the storm have been
accounted for.

MAY PAY FOUR PER CENT
Bank Commissioner Raises the Rate
on Deposits.

J. N. Dolley. state bank commission
er, has given all the state banks which
are participating in the bank deposit
guaranty law permission to pay per
cent interest on time deposits. When
the guaranty law was passed the limit
was fixed at per cent. The 1911 ses-
sion of the legislature changed the law
to permit the bank commissioner to fix
the rate according to the business con-
ditions. The rate can be increased to
6 or per cent and it might go as
low as 1 per cent, according to the
demand for money.
The national banks have been pay
ing per cent on time certificates in
some localities and in a few instances
it is said that they have been paying
as high as ) per cent. This action
was taking considerable sums of idle
money from the state banks, which
guaranteed the deposits but which paid
only per cent interest and putting
the money into the national banks.
The state guaranty banks asked to be
allowed to increase the interest rate
and this was granted yesterday.

7. R. CALLS THEM UNFIT
He Denounces Both Senator Lorimer
and Governor Haskell.

Albuquerque, n. NJ. March 16.-Col-
oneI Roosevelt paid his respects by
name to Senator Lorimer. of Illinois.
and Governor Haskell, Of Oklahoma,
last night. He denounced both as
Unfit to hold public office. Their
election. lie said, was a disgrace to the
communities which elected them.
The denunciation was made in the
course of Colonel Roosevelt's address
to an audience which crowded the
opera house and left hundreds stand
ing outside. In opening his talk, the
colonel declared that in its failure to
grant New Mexico statehood during
the last regular session of congress,
the national government had commit :
ted a breach of faith. Arizona, he
said, might have offered ground Tor
question, although he favored its ad-
MISSION but with New Mexico there
was no question.
Turning to the duties which the citi
zens of New Mexico must take up
when the territory did become a state,
Colonel Roosevelt warned his hearers
that while good laws are necessary.
good citizenship must back them up.
He said that unfit men had been
elected to office both by popular and
representative vote. Such man re
manned unfit for office, he said.
whether he is unfit, as Mr. Lorimer i ;
unfit, who was elected by the legis-
lature of Illinois, or as Mr.. Haskell is
unfit, who was elected by popular
vote"
The colonel recommended a drastic
corrupt practices law for New Mexico
when it becomes a state. He also de-
clared for direct election of United
States senators. In this connection.
he said, New York offered an object
lesson.
with direct election somebody
would have been elected senator from
that state" he concluded.
Colonel Roosevelt also declared that
Justice toward corporations must
characterize all dealings with comb
nations of capital and after an ex
PLANTATION of his views on this subject,
devoted the rest of long address to a
plea for good citizenship.
The Roosevelt family became re-
united here, Mrs. Roosevelt and her
daughter, Ethel, joining the ex-presi-
dent.
Colonel Roosevelt's stay in Albu-
querque was limited to the evening
hours. His special car was attached
to the regular train for Grand Canyon,
which passed through Albuquerque
after midnight. Mrs. Roosevelt and
her daughter continuing the journey
with the party.
Williams, Ariz., will be the first
regular stop. Archie Roosevelt, who
is attending schoo: at Mesa, Ariz., will
join the Roosevelt party today.
