Winter pruning should be pushed

While it is more orderly to prune
first, before spraying, il is some
times advisable to get the spraying

insects which are on fruit trees in

Ascertain by using tester, that

LIVES LOST In WRECK
OFF COLUMBIA BAR

/ The low storm clouds, blowing
away and the seas subsiding some
what at 1880 o'clock this afternoon,
il could be seen that there are still
three men clinging to the rigging Of
1.-THE lone mast remaining on the sunk
en- ROsencrans.
The life savers are still attempting
TO shoot a line over the mast so that
the breeches buoy might be brought
/ into use. and the tug Oneonta is still
icTuising in the vicinity.
All the remaining members of the
crew have disappeared with the steel
hull of the tanker.
The men clinging in the riggings Of
the Rosencrans are equipped with
life preseryers and as the wind is
abating it is possible that they may
be saved. Only the smokestack and
masts of the steamer are visible
The wrecked steamer is six hun
dred yards from the shore and is in
the same spot where the steamer
General Washington was wrecked
last year The tug Oneonta has gone
to the assistance of the Rosencrans
but is unable to get to her owing to
the roughness of the bar.
ASTORIA, Or, Jan. According
to adyices received by the officials Of
the Associated Oil company here,
there is no chance of saving the forty
members of the crew of the oil tank
steamer Rosencrans, wallowing in the
shallow waters Of Peacock Spit, at the
mouth of the Columbia river.
A blizzard is raging and a sixty
miles an hour wind prevails
Mountainous waves are breaking
over the vessel and her foremast and
most of her deck fixings have already
been washed away and the vessel is
breaking up. All hope has been Civ
en- up for those on board by the COM
pany's agency here.
Heroic efforts are being made by
the Cape Disappointment life saving
crew to shoot the boat a life line, but
the gale dropped the line at every at
tempt before it reached the boat
The Rosencrans, which was for
merly a federal transport, went
ashore early this morning, while try
ing to negotiate the Columbia bar in
the teeth of bowling gale She is
wedged into the end of the spit .
where she lies exposed to the full |
brunt of the storm Her $4,000 |
cargo, consisting of $4,000 barriers OF
crude OIL was awash early
The rigging to which members of
the crew might have clung for safety
is practically all down and there is
not a member of the crew in sight,
The position of the ship is Is miles
northwest of Astoria and additional
life savers are being rushed from
here to Cape Disappointment.
This was the second trip OF the
to this vicinity. She Is
known as the link ship of the AS
'ociated Oil fleet on account of her
having met a series of mishaps since

SCHMIDT VERY SORE ON MANAGER JEEN NGS

If the Tigers fare as badly this sea- son Charlie Schmidt, once mem Der of the Jennings troupe and now Mobile backstops expects, Presid ent NaV1n better begin right now to fes- toon the park with crepe.
 Charlie always had a nice, cheerful soul. According to his philosophy, the universe was organized along ex 1sting lines for the sole purpose of giv- ing him the worst of it. He thinks that hard luck was invented centur- ies ago, and constantly trained to be- come worse so that he might be the innocent victim Of it's maximum evil. In playing cards, baseball, transacting business, yes, even in eating, they all ways seem to break tough for this bird, or at least one would get that impression from talking with him.
 His release by the Detroit club to Providence was a piece of personal spite on Jennings part, he ayers, this, in spite of the fact that he had been carried a couple of years with an arm that used to attract a convention of buzzards every time he exposed it. Not satisfied with getting him off the Tiger payroll, he claims now that he was sent to Mobile as a result of some f1endish plot, which Jennings and Finn.
 Schmidtty has come to believe him self so unlucky that if he started for an exhibition of cubists art, he would get into pretzel bending foundry by mistake He was firmly convinced that he was chased away from Prov 1dence, because he was too popular there. Just how the popularity of an athlete could interfere with the fnan- cial success of his employers is hard to figure out, but if you talk to Char lie, he will prove it with diagrams.
 The Tigers will have the toughest sort of time keeping out of eighth place, this season. said he merriIy
 They don't look good a bit to me. St Louis with its young pitchers in form is likely to give Jennings (Various unpr1ntable notifications of the prop CT noun, Jennings) a tough game.''
 It was suggested to Schmidt that the club he saw at Mobile without Sam and Ty is not exactly the strongest the Tigers can put in the field
 I know that you will look better with Cobb. and Crawford in the game,'' he continued, but even so, seventh is your best. Ty, who is individually the greatest ball player who ever stepped on the field, overdoes the star thing so much that he offsets his abiI- ity and is of no more real value to the club than an average player. You had Ty and Sam last season and fin ished sixth and you will be even worse this year with both of them in the game''
 Last season, it will be raembered. Charles picked tlle Jer~fe~s outfit to finish in the second division and he happened to guess right That prov ed to him that he is a prophet of parts and he is thoroughly cOnvinc- ed that he has made another great prognostication- He believes that the club never will recover entirely from the blow it received when he was chased to the minors.

SEEK SPECIAL KIND OF LICENSE FOR
 GROCERY STORES
Fee Proposed Is $25O = Liquor Not to Be Drunk on Premises Where Sold
(By Our Staff corres.)

Hartford, March 27.-Attorney J. B. Klein of Bridgeport submitted to the Excise committee yesterday after noon an amendment to Section 2262 of the General Statutes which would provide in effect a special license to .'reputa ble, well established and bona fide grocers to sell spirituous, and in toxicating liquors, wines, ale and lag CT beer in original packages not to be drunk on the premises the fee for such license to be $250. MT. Klein said there were a number of such re- putable concerns in Bridgeport, among others, R. T. Whiting, the Mohican Co.,, the Village Store Co, and places of like character in other cities that deal in the liquors in the original packages.
 He said that he had no pride of should be. The committee could make it more or make it less. There should be a special license for this class of business independent of the regular retail license and the wholesalers li- cense and he wanted to have it un- derstood that he favored this class of license being exempt from those which are covered by the law now in effect limiting licenses to one in every 500 in population.
 MT. Klein said that through an oversight in the revision of the excise calls Tn the SO-CalI0d reV1S1On or 1S1Z this class of dealers were forgotten and as result some of them had been doing business since then on a whole saIers license. He questioned if this was legal and it was for the purpose of removing all doubt that he asked the comnitte to incorporate the amendment in the bill which they con tenn plate originating
 The representatives of the liquor in terests present opposed MT. Klein's amendment unless the license fee was made $45O, the same as is paid by the retail dealers, on the ground that most of the grocers would sell small pack ages including bottled beers, wines, etc, and come in direct competition with the dealers who are compelled to pay the regular fee.
 MT. Spooner, for the temperance in- terests, favored an amendment to the same statute providing that every per son excepting druggists to whom license to sell Intoxicating liquors shall be granted shall pay the county commissioners $500 for such license, and that license may be granted to wholesale dealers to sell intoxicating liquors not to be drunk the prem ises for $200 per annum. By whole sale dealers he said he meant only those who sell to other licensed deal CTS. This, too, was opposed by the liquor interests who contended for a uniform license fee for all engaged in the business.

Water Kicks Hard Against
 Wilson Bill
Special to The Farmero

Hartford, March 27-One of the live Hest hearings of the session was that before the committee on cities and boroughs, yesterday afternoon, when Rep. Lynn W. Wilson c1ashed with the owners and lawyers of the prin- cipa1 private water companies of Con necticut, in a free for all contest, in which nobody was spared.
 The casus belIi was a proposed tute providing that cities and bor- oughs may acquire water plants under the same law and after the same fashion as they may now acquire gas and electric light plants.
 The owners of the private plants Of New Haven, Bridgeport, Ansonia, Birmingham and number of other places offered plenteous objections to the amendment.
 The bill had been introduced by Rep. Wilson of Bridgeport, who said: the cities and towns may acquire un- der a general law, gas and electric light plants My bill proposes to add water plants. Water, is a prime nec- essity. There are more reasons why the city should control it's water, than there are why it should control it's gas an electric light plant.
 Tt is the duty, he said. ttof these men who own these private water plants to assist in perfecting the law so that public ownership may come about naturally, and easily. But my experience of them is that they will do nothing of the kind. On the con trary they prefer to pull and haul the government out of it's representative capacity, injuring the State to fill their own pockets

WHERE LATIN IS NOT TAUGHT.

Boys and girls in the schools Of Spanish America do not have to WoF- ry over Latin. The study of ancient language has been practically e1fu1- mated in Spanish America accordtng to a bulletin on Latin-Americau Uni versailles and Special Schools just is- sued by the United States Bureau of Education.
 Latin is not included in the currfcu- la of secondary schools in any of the following countries: Argentina. Bolfv- ia, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador. Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Near agua. Panama, Paraguay Peru Sal vador and Uruguay. It is taught 10 a limited extent in the classical schools of Haiti and Colombia. Some Vsns- zueIa high schools offer courses in Latin but the studies are very eis- mentary. Notwithstanding reasons Of kinship of speech, pride of race, and scholastic tradition" says Dr. Edgar Ewing Brandon, author of the bulls- tin, Latin, well as Greek has almost wholly disappeared from the curricuIa of South and Central Amer can educational institutions" Tn some countries it is positively forbidden by law to teach Latin in the schoolg-

A sirui- lar plan prevails in the Univsrsity of Buenos Ayres.
 esThe disappearance of Latin was not effected without a contest, says pr. Brandon. Many educators train ed under the old system recognized the value of the subject in any scheme of education, and fought yaltantly for it's retention.

 Various reasons are assigned for the abandonm ent of Latin. The question of church and state, an important one in Latin America, is involved to a large extent. Tn addition there fs the motive of utiIitarianism, strong in the presens-day Spanish-American whose chief ambition Is to be mod ern" He feels that Latin is an au- tique, out of place in modern life. He conceives the purpose of education to be distinctly practical and useful.
