Mayor Brcals a Deadlock.

The city council held special
meeting Monday to consider an appli-
cation from DIR, +. d. Watts for per-
mission TO build a stairway extending
from the Broad street sidewalk, near
the Main street corner, to the upper
story OF the building occupied by the
Weston Mercantile company. The pc
titioner set forth that the stairway
would be "well constructed and safe
guarded to prevent accident" and
agreed to widen the concrete sidewalk
at the base OF the stairway as far as
the trees to make up for the room
taken. l
The proposal resulted In considera-
BILE discussion, and when vote was
taken II was found that the council
stood three-all. as follows. Price,
Rogers and Sailing. yes; Brandt, wur-
ger and Wood. no. This deadlock put
the question up to Mayor Banister.
who cast an affirmative vote.
It is reported that DR.. Watts will
not take advantage OF the permission
thus granted. and In order to avoid
controversy win adopt other plans
for reaching the upper part OF his
building with the proposed stairway.

Orchard owners of western Oregon
have an unusual opportunity to make
up for the failure to spray early, and
still may get ahead of the rains,
which are responsible for the infec-
tion periods. Spray at once for ap-
ple-tree anthracnose and for peach
blight. Use Bordeau $3.50 or lime
sulphur 1-S, and cover every particle
of bark and every bud. Effective re-
suits can not usually be obtained so
late in the season, but due to the
lateness of rains this year much good
can be accomplished yet If the work
is done at once.

coarse manure, straw or leaves ap-
piled after the preparatory pruning
described below. Evergreen boughs,
or even branches from deciduous
plants, are often helpful in holding
the other materials in place, besides
being a protection in themselves. In
dividual specimens are often wrapped
in straw or straw and burlap. There
is some danger of trouble from mice
in the use of straw and strawy ma
nure, especially during hard winters.
This is minimized by banking earth
about the plants before mulching.
This banking of earth is also a most
effective preventive of injury from
cold. Earth banked up about the
plants to height of foot or more
makes an excellent protection, espec-
tally if covered well with manure
after the ground first freezes. The
earth cover must be promptly re-
moved in early spring, as soon as
danger from freezing is past. In
some sections 1t is advisable to pro-
tect cut-flower rose plants from
strong winds by shrubbery borders,
evergreens, vinc-covered fences or
other windbreaks.
A special type of pruning should
be practiced in fall in sections where
winter protection is necessary. I'm
der such circumstances it is desir-
able to cut back the tops in the fall
to within thirty inches of the ground,
to allow of more easily covering the
bushes. This should be followed in
the spring by the regular pruning,
The long stems left in this fall prun-
ing help hold the winter mulch from
blowing away and from packing too
closely. They are also long enough |
to allow considerable winter killing
and yet have sufficient eyes left to
insure ample growth for the next
seasons bloom.
Throughout large sections of the !
country it is unnecessary to protect
climbing roses in winter. In the
northern sections, where roses are
apt to winter kill, however, some
sort Of protection is necessary.
Wrapping the bushes in straw is eff
fective where the cold is not too
great, but is somewhat unsightly. 1t |
permits keeping the vines more near
ly in their summer position. A sur
er method is to lay the vines down,
covering them with earth, and after
that is frozen adding a layer of straw
or manure. This covering must be
removed promptly in the spring as
soon as freezing is over.

Which Do You Prefer?

1t is important for reasons of health and
practical economy for every housekeeper
TO ask herself this question:
DO prefer pure baking powder like
Royal, made of cream of tartar derived from
grapes, or am l willing to use baking
powder made of alum or phosphate both
derived from mineral sources?"
The names of the ingredients printed
on the label show whether the kind you
are now using or any brand, new or old,
that may be offered is a genuine cream
of tartar powder, or merely phosphate
or alum compound
Royal Baking Powder contains no alum
nor phosphate.
