URGES BETTER FRUIT LAW.

Inspector Points Out Defects in Pro-
vision for Care of Trees.
Wenatchee-Deputy State Horticul-
tural Inspector j. S. Darlington has
issued the following appeal for legis-
lative relief:
'The apples have now practically
been picked. The Wenatchee valley
has just gathered the largest crop of
fruit in its history. This years crop
is the cleanest crop of fruit the Wen
atchee valley has produced in the last
six years. The infected fruit in the
commercial orchards of the valley
will average not more than from one
to two per cent of the crop.
"Fruit trees in town, the trees
that are not in commercial orchards,
in many cases still remain menace
to the community because the present
horticultural law is operative and is
not effective in such cases.
"Section 81 of the state horticul-
tural laws says, in effect, that if the
spray notice of the horticultural in
spector is not complied with the in
spector has the authority to take
charge of the spraying of that orchard
himself and to charge the cost as a
lien against the property. The law
does not provide the inspector with
any fund from which he may draw
until the lien can be cashed.
lone inspector in the state took
charge of spraying some orchards and
drew from his own account to pay the
immediate cost. He Immediately filed
his lien, but could not get action on
them for more than two years, and I
don't know that he has gotten it yet.
Gin order to make the law effective
in this respect, a fund should be pro-
vided, either by the state or by the
county, from which the inspector can
draw for this purpose. The lien can
thus be filed and the money will in
time come back to this fund

victory was sure. the President called
for later returns before breakfast, to-
day, and got the latest informal ton
before he started for Myopia and the
golf links. His pleasure was so man
fest that he apparently forgot all
about his lame ankle and the suffer-
ing it has caused him.
Mrs Taft and the Taft children were
Just as happy over the news as was
the President Mrs. Taft did not retire
until late hour, while Robert and
Charles. the Taft boys. stayed up
with their father. Equipped with PEN
ellis and paper they figured out for the
Presidents benefit just what might be
expected.
Although the President had no state
ment to make about the Maine result
his friends here were not so retieent.
They found much cheer in it and were
open in their statements that the eff
feet in other states could not but be
good.
According to their view of the re-
suit it will serve to keep in line many
Republicans, who were wavering to-
ward the Progressives. 1t will be an
example. they say, to the doubtful
ones of what can be done to the Dem
ocrats where a solid front is presented
to their political enemies. Some of the
Presidents advisers went so far as to
say that the Maine result would bring
back into the Republican ranks many
leaders and many of the rank and
file, who have deserted it for the new
party.
