DISGRACEFUL LOTTERY. The Oregonian of the 7th instant has a short editorial on what it styles "The Land Gamble," which has condensed into it a whole lot of truth which should go home to the Secretary of the Interior and cause him to blush with honest shame for his administration. It is seldom we have had the privilege of seeing in so short a space so much that is absolutely worthy of a great newspaper. While every word of this criticism is true, it does not contain all the objections that can be made against this of lottery. Here is the editorial: "The great National land lottery conducted by the government in Montana, Washington and Idaho has broken all records for affairs of the kind.

In the number of victims it makes 11. fairly good showing in comparison with the late Louisiana lottery. "That the chances of the victims for drawing any kind of a prize were much greater in the Louisiana lottery is easily apparent when it is stated that only one out of 100 of the applicants stands any show to draw a claim. One of the notaries who took depositions of the applicants made nearly $3000, and others made as high as $135 per day. The railroads received an immense S11m in fares, and the hotels, lodging houses and pick pockets also profited greatly by the rush.

"Some of the victims can stand the loss which they have been obliged to incur, but among them are thousands of poor people who can ill afford to lose the money spent on this greatest of modern lotteries. If there is anything in connection with the whole affair that is creditable to the government, it has not yet been made public." As we have remarked, more might have been said by the Oregonian and not weakened the criticism. For instance, mention could have been made that it would have been a crime against the post office department for any citizen to have done the same thing and a newspaper publishing any advertisement such as the Interior department used would have been dented the use of the mails. The post office department would have denounced the scheme as a fraud; warning the public against it. Mr.

Taft has much to look after since the 4th of March last it is true, and perhaps has been unable to give this subject a single thought, but we trust that he will have his attention called to the matter by some wellwisher of his administration before this national disgrace is out of mind. NECESSITY OF CLEAN FRUIT. If you have trouble in your orchard and suspect the presence of any of pests send at once Inspector for Fruit Burke and take his to sue the annoyance. Don't order ishable heavy fine. This the law creating the Inspection, officer does his follow every of- fense.

this year acting in harmony with the law and giving the Inspection officer every facility in the discharge of his duty and the consequences are there 18 NOTHING CAN TOUCH THE TWO HORSE BRAND OVERALLS COM less diseased fruit in the market this season than in any previous year since pests have become troublesome. Close fruit inspection in orchards and in the market is the only way to make our fruit what it should he and make the business pay, The trouble is with the orchard and the only remedy is to spray for the various diseases. If you have neglected this this year, the crop for this season is spoiled and you must not expect to offer it in the market without suffering the pains and penalties provided by law.
