given by Mr.. Doron last evening, the
man said that he was i stranger. IN

seeing Mr.. Doron in Philadelphia. MIR.
Doron informed the man that he was
very busy, but had arranged to send
Clifford Keiser, his assistant, who
would take the 2:56 train and meet
him in Philadelphia. Upon being

as before and admonished Mr.. Boron
that he should see that his assistant
did not miss the train as he wanted
the matter attended to promptly and
not to forget to send him money for

Mr.. Doron having had similar cases
in the past in which local people had
died while out Of the city, suspected
nothing, and Immediately made ar
rangements with the National Casket
Company to meet his assistant at the
New Willard hotel in order to ex-
pcditc the securing of the bodies.
After making these arrangements
he went to the office Of the Western
Union with the idea of assisting the
unfortunate man, by sending him the
sum requested. Upon arriving at the
telegraph office he was informed that
the local office had recently received
notilication,from the Western Union
Headquarters, warning them of gen.

withhold the telegram until they

the scheme with instructions to ar

that office. The local manager then
advised Mr.. Doron to send the man

SPRAY PROPOSED FOR
ROSE BLACK SPOT

If Black spot appeared on the leaves
and the leaves dropped off before the
cold weather, now is the time to begin
treating them for this year. This dis.
ease of the rose bush is known as
"black spot" and is caused by a fun
gus. Besides causing the leaves to
drop too soon, it may cause the buds
to begin opening again in the fall,
with the result that the bloom for the
following year is much lessened, ac-
cordIng to Better Fruit.
Black spot grows on the leaves in
the summer and then stays over in
the fallen leaves on the ground during
the winter, ready to attack again in
the spring. 1t may be controlled by
burning all the fallen leaves late in
the fall or early in the spring, and
then spraying the bushes Just as the
leaf buds open.
There are three sprays which NAV
be used, as follows: Commercial lime
sulphur one part to fifty parts of water,
or Bordeaux mixture, in proportions Of
$3.50; or Is gallons of water, 2 ounces
OF copper carbonate and one pint OF
strong ammonia water.
Another method is to dust the bush
with mixture of 80 parts OF finely
ground sulphur and 10 parts powdered
arsenate of lead.
Spraying must begin as the leaf buds
are opening and continue at intervals
of ten to twelve days, depending on
how much rain has fallen.

.CALIF0RNIANS WANT
UPPER VALLEY TUJBERS

Isaac Beal, Upper Valley potato
grower, here last Thursday on busi-
ness, estimates that rs carloads of po-
tatoes remain in pits and cellars in
that district. Growers are being Of
fered around 80 cents per hundred for
their products. Last fall some Upper
Valley potato men sold their crops for
81. rs per hundred.
Because of the eagerness of Cali.
fornia buyers to secure our stocks for
seed they are offering us as much as
they are paying in the Willamette val
ley, although the freight differential
from here is 81 cents greater. Lead
ing growers of our district are trying
to secure such an interest that we may
be able to organize and grow superior
potatoes for the seed trade. We will
have buyer, Carl Wodecki, in the
Upper Valley Saturday, seeking seed
product for California. Another, F.
B. Kelly, will visit US Monday"

FOREST CONSERVATION
WEEK is OBSERVED

A general observation of Forest Con-
servation Week is noted here. The
schools have celebrated the 50th ami
versary of establishing Arbor day by
interesting students in the Importance
of saving the forested area of the coun-
ty.
Because of the promotion of scenic
development, civic and commercial or
ganizations, at the instance of Stanley
c. Walters. chief forest ranger of the
county, are stimulating interest is the
value of forest protection and the pre-
vention of fires.
An interesting feature of the local
celebration was a window display at
The Book and Art Store of instruments
used in locating forest fires and in
fighting them made by Mr.. Walters.
He also showed a length of yew log,
cut from tree in the Bear creek for
est of the Upper Valley. Although
Mr.. Walters estimates that the tree is
over $50 years old, it is only foot in
diameter.

THE STORY OF
TWO MATCHES
(By Robert Louis Stevenson)

One day there was traveller in the
woods in California, in the dry season.
when the Trades were blowing strong.
He had ridden long way, and he was
tired and hungry, and disn1ounted from
his horse to smoke pipe. But when
he felt in his pocket. he found but two
matches. He struck the first and it
would not light.
Here is pretty state of things, +"
said the traveller. dying for a
smoke, only one roAtch left, and that
certain to miss fret Was there ever
creature so unfortunate? And yet, T"
thought the traveller, ''suppose light
this match. and smoke my pipe, and
shake out the dottle here in the grass
the grass might catch on fire, for it
is dry like tinder; while | snatch out
the flames in front, they might evade
and run behind me, and seize upon yon
bush of poison oak; before | could
reach it, that would have blazed up.
Over the bush see a pine tree hung
with moss; that too wonld fly in fire
upon the instant TO its topmost bough.
And the same of that long torch-hOw
the trade wind would take and bran
dish that through the infammable for
esti hear this dell roar in q moment
with the joint voice of wind and fire.
see myself gallop for my soul, and
the flying conhagration chase and out
flank me through the hills. | see this
pleasant forest burn for days, the cat
tie roasted, the springs dried Up, the
farmer ruined and his children cast
upon the world. What a world hangs
upon this momentl"
With that he struck the match, and
it missed fire.
"Thank God, said the traveller, and
put his pipe in his pocket.

similar offense, has written here seek
ing to be extradited from Ohio, where
he is held in Jail at Dayton, Sheriff
johnson has learned by telegraphing
to Dayton that Goodrich was paroled
from the Illinois penitentiary at Joliet.
Recent delinquencies, it is thought,
have resulted in violation Of his parole,
and Dayton authorities wired that
Goodrich will be recommitted to the

Although the local store was ruled
out of the general contest because Of a
Misunderstanding of rules, PeTigo e.
Son have just received a letter from
Sunset Magazine, Of San francisco,
commenting displays in a window
dressing contest and enclosing a check
for S25 as a special award. The letter
was very complimentary. The contest
was staged in connection with an ad-
vertising campaign being conducted by
large Pacific Coast food distributors.
The local store submitted pictures of
four different windows. Sunset was
so pleased with the way in which the
windows were dressed and the artistic
photography, that Fred w. Donner-
berg, Of the Book and Art Store, re-
ceived an order for 80 of the prints.

merchants here last week with spur

giving a check for the amount. The
tubers were loaded aboard a truck and
taken to the recently launched Grange
cooperative store, where the sharper
sold some for ST per bag.
Previously Mace bought eight boxes
of apples from the Hood River Produce
Co., paying with bad check.
