Things were disturbed In general around the town Hallowe'en, but no particular harm was done; ap parently soap was very plentiful. Those who suffered the most are C. C. Loztcr, because of the loss of a baina glUy tree, and M. D. Fitze, because of the loss of some lumber. Work on the ball ground was con tinued last Saturday afternoon, but very few were there and a number who had promised to be there to aid in the work did not put in their appearance. Work will not be con tinued on the ground this Saturday as a number who had promised to help in the work cannot do so. Since it seems so difficult to accomplish much in the improvement of the ground by means of work given gratis, a paper will be circulated and a cash donation requested which will bo used to pay for labor for the improvement of the ground. As a ball game once in n while helps business and livens up the town, it is hoped that donations will be giv en freely and willingly. v1 Si .'t Si tit si si si st Si IIAMUXTOX.

A Chester Countean, having paid ?ll.r).00 within four years for the spraying of an orchard of two acres, wrote to State Zoologist Surface for assistance in ridding his trees of San Joso scale. He said: " We are so situated that our neighborhood on all sides could learn in regard to spraying by seeing it from the public roads. Wo desire to get from you full information of what wo are to use, and whom we can employ in order to successfully rid our trees of the San Jose scale." Professor Surface replied as fol lows: "It does not pay you to expend so much money to have your trees sprayed, when you can buy a good spraying apparatus for one-fourth of what you have already paid out and It will last for ten years or more, and the cost of spraying the trees with it will then ho but a few cents per tree. As to the proper spray pump, I think an upright lever pump would give you better results than any other. Tho next thing is to use the right material, which is tho boiled lime-sulphur wash, either lionie-holled or commercial. You can buy it already prepared and Already to be diluted with cold water and applied to the trees, but, in di luting this, generally, you should not add more than eight times Its ! bulk of water. 1 prefer to make my ! own lime-sulphur wash, boiling 17 pounds of sulphur and 2 2 pounds of lime an hour, with enough water to boll It, then strnlning it and add ing enough water to ninko fit) gal lons and spraying it thoroughly over the trees. This is to be done at any time when the trees are dormant. Do a thorough job and give two good coats; one when the wind Is from one direction and the, other when It Is from the opposite direction. If you have much scale, It would pay you to give the double dose twice, viz: in the fall, shortly after tho leaves drop, and again in the spring, when the buds are swelling. Tills will really do the work in a satis factory manner, and will kill the scale, and you can keep It In control and produce good fruit after that. "If the trees arc badly infested before the leaves fall, it would pay you well to make a very strong soap solution of some kind, or a strong lime-sulphur wash, and paint them now with paint brushes, applying the material on nil excepting the parts that grew this year. This will kill the scale on those parts and keep tho trees alive until after tho leaves drop when you can spray them and do a more thorough and effective Job." The Heal Itivor or Life. Tho real river of life is the blood stream that wondrous fluid that, starting from the left side of the pump-itke heart Is propelled through tlie tissues carrying to them the life giving oxygen and taking up their poisons, then back to the right heart from whence it is sent to the lungs there to deliver up the poisons ac cumulated in its swift circuit, and to get a fresh supply of oxygen. And the wonder grows when we consider that this iluld, of which there is about two gallons, makes its com plete circuit, left heart, tissues, right heart, lungs, left heart and so on three times every minute, travel ing at the rate of seven miles an hour, HIS miles a day, GO, 000 miles in a year. No man has ever traveled as far an his own blood has. Verily the "blood Is the life." In to the blood enter at once all tho various substances taken Into the body food, drink, the oxygen of the air. Out of the blood are ela borated by the various organs all the many fluids required by the body tears, perspiration, saliva, gastric juice, intestinal fluid and twenty others. Purity of the blood is the funda mental essential of health. Every (iisea.se has its origin in dysemtu, or bad blood. Keep the blood dean by free water drinking, pure, simple food in moderate quantity and bod ily cleanliness, and you will keep well and live long in the land. Haven't gone yet. Never mind about the reports you hear that we have left town. We will give no tice of our last week in town.

ARRAIGNMENT OF BALLINGER. Secretary of the Interior Is Again Accused of Failure to Take Steps to Save Immense Beds of Fuel. New York, Nov. 0. In an article pre pared for Collier's Weekly of Nov. II! and copyrighted by thai publication L. U. Glavis, removed In September from the olliee of chief of Held divi sion of the general land olllce, says: "From 1902 to 1009 I was In the Held service of tho general land ofUce, for the last two ond a half years as chief of field division. In September, 1009, I was summarily removed from my po sition without a formal hearing by Richard A. Dalllngor, secretary of the Interior, by authorization of the presi dent of the United States. That re moval was accompanied by the publi cation of a letter of the president to Mr. Uallinger. I believe that my re moval was unfair. I believe tho presi dent's letter was grievously unfair, be cause in it the president gives weight to a churge against me which I never had the opportunity to see or answer. Tho president states in his letter that I withheld from him Information fa vorable to my superiors. I do not know of any such information with held by me, nor am I conscious of do ing my superiors injustice. Neverthe less, 1 should not now make any public statement of the matter were It not still posslblo to save for the govern ment tnuny thousands of acres of coal lands which I believe the land ofllce may In the near future grant to fraud ulent claimants. "The coal lands of Alaska owned by the government amount to over 100,- 000 acres. They are the future coal supply of tho nation, of almost inesti mable value. Possession of them by nivatp individuals means great wealth. I A monopoly of them would be a na-1 tlonal menace. "On Nov. 12. liKMi, President Koose-! volt withdrew all coal lands in Alaska i from public entry, but previous to that' lime there were about !!(X) claims hied, ! covering about lOO.oOO acres, nearly i the whole of the coal lields. Tho law attempts to prevent monopoly of such , claims by limiting the amount ot each claim and providing that each claim ant must take up the land In his own interest and for his own use. Tills law has been interpreted by the supreme court of the United States to forbid speculating In coal lands before entry, either by dummy entrymen or by pre vious agreements to consolidate claims ; after entry. Of these s)t)0 claims to i Alaska coal lands, among them the so j called Cunningham group, the nmjori-' ty are fraudulent. It is asserted that the (Juggenheims are seeking a monop oly of the Alaska coal lields. 1 "As to the action of tho land olliee on these claims, 1 assert that the land ollice ordered the Cunningham claims to patent without due Investigation when Commissioner Dallinger knew they were under suspicion; that while in ofllce Commissioner Dallinger urged congress to pass a law which would validate fraudulent Alaska claims; that shortly after resigning from of fice ho became attorney for the Cun ningham group and other Alaska claims; that soon after he became sec rotary of the Interior his ofllce ren dered n decision which would have validated all fraudulent Alaska claims. A reversal of that decision on every point was obtained from Attorney General Wickersham. "I assert that in the spring of 1909 the land ofllce urged me to an early trial of these cases before tho investi gation was iiuislied and when Secre tary Ballluger, as the president has stated, knew that the Cunningham claims were invalid. When I appeal ed to Secretary Ballluger for post ponement he referred me to his sub ordinates. The department of ngri- In the charge of the eases, and the : man who superseded me indorsed my recommendations, and the postpone ment was granted. Immediately there after I made my report on the Cun ningham cases to President Tuft and was dismissed from the service for in subordination, "Tho president has chosen to treat my report as a charge of crlmluality. , I mnde no such charge, nor do I make it now. The president's letter is a de-1 fense of Mr. Raillnger and Mr. Den- i nett commissioner of the general land office from charges not made In my report to him. I was not Investigating either Mr. Dallinger or Mr. Dennett, but the Alaska coal cases." The forthcoming article in Collier's Weekly Is expected to reopen the en tire Plnchot-Bnilinger dispute over tho disposition of public lands. One of the most bitter ofllchil controversies ever known in Washington may follow, and the result may be tho retirement from ofllce of either Secretary Ballluger or Gifford Plnchot, chief of the forest service.

In tho North Dakota, the United IStatts has the fastest battleship alloat, as well as the two most pow i erful battleships in the world in tho North Dakota and her sister ship, the Delaware. The North Dakota screw standardization tests over tho Uock I land, Maine measured course on t'ii I day hist developed a maximum speed ' of 22. 2o knots tin hour, and an aver age of 21. ."!!". Doth marks a''o in exccs.i of the best performance of either the Delaware or the Heller-1 option, tho leading dreadnought of me Hrltish navy. The North Da kota tints takes precedence as a general lirst class' battleship over any other lloat. Her sister ship, Ihe Delaware, which had her trials over the same course on Oct. 2;',, was in' possession of tliis honor for a time. There Is but one other battleship i alloat at tho present time whose at tainments may exceed those of the North Dakota. This Is the Neptune, just launched for the British navy. but she will have to attain to llgures much in excess of specifications to accomplish this. The Dellerophon of the British navy lias made but 22.1 knots as compared with the North Dakota's performance last Friday of 22.1 The North Dakota cost $10,000, 000. Her armor belt, of finest steel, Is 12 inches thick. There are ten turrets against four on any other ship, which means ten twelve-inch shells every minute in broadside from the decks. Five tons of steel projectiles are fired at every broad side. Dewey's entire fleet at Manila lired only three. There is not in all tho world a battleship In commission that could stand five minutes before the North Dakota In action. ARIUVAL AND DKPAUTUIUO OF TRAINS Delaware & Hudson It. It.
