HIS POLICY.

The pOllcy OF Mayor Smeao, as
outlined in another column, and
as set forth so far in his taking
up the reigns of city government,
appeals to us as being good and
sound. He was somewhat brief
and pointed in his inaugural; in
fact he made no address what
ever, but simply set out a few
policies in the line of instructions
and recommendations, holding
himself in reserve for further
work along this line as matters
present themselves.
In the matter of police regu-
lation of the city he is to be es-
pecially commended. The police
court is hereafter to be held asst
should be, and a strict account is
to be given each month to the
council of all arrests, fines and
other proceedings had in this
court. The marshal of the city
is to take no instructions from
anyone except the mayor, and he
is to be held strictly to his duties
at all times. In other worus
this department of the city gov
,ernment is to be placed on a
business basis, and the mayor is
pledged to see that this Is done.
Mayor smead makes It plain that
he Ii casting no reflection upon
anyone but merely desires to
earrect the methods Of doing
things in this department and
have it's affairs 90 conducted that
there shall be no room for criti-
cism.
The retiring administration
has been an active one and done
much for which they are to be
commended. They have had in
hand the work of getting the
newly granted franchise to the
Heppner Light and Water Co.
in the proper shape, and this
was no small task. They have
also done a lot of good work on
the streets as we'll as to outline
a lot more that it is hoped the
new administration can be able
to carry out. In these matters
they have left a clean docket and
the new council have no tangles
hanging over them to be stralgn-
tened out.
The outlook for the future OF
the city is bright; the prospects
for better streets and cleaner
surroundings never better and
we believe that the new city
government is entering upon an
administration in which they are
to receive the hearty support
and cooperation of our citizens
We certainly hope for nothing
less.

The statement says: 1T cannot but
strike anyone who has watched the
course of events in Mexico as signifi

The statement concludes that when

There can be no loss of dignity to a
de facto government in recognizing the
claims of great sovereign government

United States is ridiculous in irving TO

intil they sometimes form cavities one
inch in diameter.
Treatment.
Plant clean seed or seed affected may
be treated as for the ordinary scab.
"'Wart Disease
The wart disease causes roughened
and wrinkled excrescenses upon the
tuber. These may vary in size from a
pin head to an egg. The disease usually
begins around the "eye."
'Silver Scurf."
Silver Scurf causes blackish olive
patches on the surface of the potato
which often cover considerable area
The surface of the discolored area when
clean takes on silvery or glistening
appearance. These areas are depressed
in the later stages Of the disease and
at length the whole surface of the tuber
is involved.

brownish gray spots upon the leaves.
These spots are irregularly circular in
outline, are concentrically marked and
make their first appearance about the
time the tubers begin to form. The
disease often causes the destruction Of
the leaves while the stems remain
green. The progress of the disease is
slow, usually covering period of three
or four weeks. 1t does not attack the
tubers and does not cause a rot. The
effect of the disease is to reduce the
yield through loss of leaf surface.
Treatment.
2 The same mthods of control apply here
as are recommended for the control of
the "Late Blight"
'Powdery Scab.''
This disease is very prevalent in
European countries and has caused some
agitation in the quarantine work of the
federal government. 1t appears as
small pimples that show a slight dis
coloration upon the surface of the tuber.
The tubers are attacked from the time
they are the size of hazel nuts until
they are practically mature. In dry
soil the disease forms small circular
patches about one-quarter insh in d.
