Z. L. MCCLAIN MAKES
RECORD MOTOR RUN

Ell McClainFon his tour of southern
Oregon and California made a record
that will be hard to equal With his
big Franklin, accompanied by his
brother, Donald McClain, of Green
field, and George Jackson, of Ashville,
N. G., Mr.. McClain went as far south
as Tia Juana, Mex. The car travelled
approximately 1000 mics, yet it re-
turned home on the same air on which
1t travelled out from the Columbia
Auto d Machine Co. garage.
We were so fortunate, SAYS Mr..
McClain, 'as not to have one bit of
tire trouble. We used approximately a
gallon of gasoline for every II miles. "
Mr.. McClain says that the roads en-
route to the Californiasfairs are excel
lent. We went down the coast route
from San Francisco. 1t is magnificent
riding along beside the ocean. How
ever, | did not see any scenery'that is
more beautiful and impre ssive than
this along the Columbia river high
way.
Mr.. McClain says that the Oregon
automobile associations may learn some
beneficial lessons from those of Cali
fornia.
when there are to be any changes
made in routes because of repairs be-
ing done to the highways, he says,

APPLE NOTES

Fire blight is destructive in Pennsyl-
vania as the following dispatch from
the Pennsylvania State College will at
test:
Fire blight attacks on apple and pear
orchards in the southern half of Penn
sylvania have reduced the crop pros
poets from 100 per cent to less than 10
per cent, said DR.. John p. Stewart,
experimental pomologist of the Penn
sylvania State College. After visiting
the affected districts DR.. Stewart pro-
nounced the outbreak to be the most
serious he had ever observed in several
parts of the state. He said it was little
short of a calamity in those localities,
involving tremendous losses to fruit
growers.
DR.. Stewart described the orchards
attacked as offering the appearance of
woodland swept by forest fires. The
disease affects the blossoms and twigs
of pears, apples and ounces, he said,
giving them the appearance of having
been singed by fire.

Father Schooner, known as the Wiz.
ard of Brooks. where he was pastor of
the little Catholic church, has produced
rose apple. "a small fruit produced
by crossing the Spitzenburg apple with
the wild rose of Oregon. The fruit is
useful in making marma ladies' and jel-
lies and the tree which he has secured
is pronounced one of the most orna.
mental types for lawns.
From experiments conducted the past
several years Father Schooner has pro-
duced a garden pea, the hull of which
is edible as well as the peas them
selves.
The term of the Brooks pastorate will
soon end, and the plant wizard has
been invited to a number of communi-
ties. California is trying to get him,
and an effort is being made to have
him locate in Portland, where he can
devote his entire time to raising new
plants.

The Watsonville Fruit Distributors
an organization to perfect the packing,
shipping and marketing of apples from
the Pajaro valley, was organized the
other day at the largest mass meeting
ever held in that city. W. R. Radclitf,
cashier of the Bank of Watsonville,
was the first speaker, and he opened
by saying that the business men of the
city had realized for some time past
that something must be done with the
chief industry of the valley or else dig
up the trees.
MIR. Radclff pointed out that all over
the United States steps have been
taken to remedy the general condition
except in the Pajaro valley. He said
that the old order of things, in which
the fruit was bought before the bios
SONS came upon the trees, had changed,
and that today it was unwise to ad-
vance credit for speculative purposes.

UNINFORMED OF
 THE GEAR

l have yet to find a single Ameri- can who saw in any American news paper at the time the fine action of the Emperor of Russia when the
 Titanic" sank. Among all the na- tions of the earth, the action of this ruler was unique. If I am correctly informed, not a single Russian sub ject lost his life in that terrible eN- ent, yet it was the Emperor of Rus sia alone among the sovereigns who ordered a special high mass for the repose of the souls, regardless of race or religion, of those who went down into the depths. Special patrons of the gathering were the minister of the Russian navy and the owners of every merchantmen that carried the Russian flag. The ceremony was in the Cathedral of the Admiralty, the most beautiful church in Petrograd Special invitations were sent to the representatives of the two nations most acutely interested, England and the United States. The Archbishop of Petrograd officiated at the altar with high dignitaries of the Russian Church, calling upon Russians to re- member that the prayers and ad- miration of all humanity should be given for those who, facing death. in their last moments displayed no terror, but adoration in song for the common God of all. Even more impressive than the crowded cathed- ral the prayers and the chanting were the massed thousands of the common people, who, unable to enter the church packed every street and square in the neighborhood, uncover ed on that raw spring morning. seek ing to do reverence, at their Elm perors bidding, to the men and wo- men regardless of race or faith, whose brave death at sea had given such a lesson to humanity. Why publicity at the time was not given to an event like this in the Ameri- can press, I have never been able sa .tisfactOrily to ascertain, though per haps I could guess.
