Mounting their horses, they made a dash tirou;?h the mountains, over logs snd through streams, coming out at Medford. Tlte distance was about 0 mlUs by the route they were forced to follow. Indian Method Praised. Old-timers at Gold Hill say that the Indians were better foresters than the white men who conquered them. The red men burned the hillsides each year. This promoted a growth of grass which made feed for the game and for their horses, and prevented the accumula tion of trash which Is causing disas trous fires. The fires In Clatsop County have p-actica!Iy burned themselves out and ro further danger Is expected. Late reports at Chtoo. rl. Indicate t-at the Humboldt road fire Is again beyond control.

ABOVE, rORKST HtMiKHS IX PRUNES YIELD lJELL Mosier Shipments of Fresh Fruit Are Profitable. 12,000 BOXES FORWARDED Buyers Said to Have Made Good Re turn by Shipping to Eastern Markets Quality Is Bettor Than for Years Past. MOSIER. Or.. Aug. Specla!.) Mo sier ha been gathering Its prune crop. It has been a fine crop this year, not more than the usual quantity, something more than H.om boxes, but fsr above the average In quality and wiling at a bet ter price than for many years past. Full 13 core of Italian prunes, grown to perfection in the Mosier Valley, have been sent out from the local oacklng house In the past few week, and every one of these cars Ka contained more than l'OO crates of prunes, each of which brought the shrppcr 60 cents f. o. b, Mo sier. The averspe price of cents a crate maintained this season Is the highest pre vailing here In years snd growers are giving due credit- to H. M. Huxley, nun irr of the local Fruit Growers" Asso ciation, to whose efforts the success of the present season Is doe. Crop Best In Years. This season"s crop of prune has been the most profltabl- gathered In the Mo-sl-r Valley for many years, end the farmers who during the poor seasons of the past two years dug up their prune orchards and planted the land to apples dm now resrettlng th.dr action, whl'e those who stuck to the prunes are smil ing with satisfaction. Among the hewvr shipper of til's sea son are Ie Evans, who sent out IS" rentes: tlie Mayrrrtale rancn. w men shipped lf-) erate: Ed F. Reeves, with r? crates: the East Hood River Fruit Company, with 1V0 crates: A. Grosser. S crates, and Amos Root. with crates. The rest of the shipment were made up by a dozen smaller shipper -with lots running from ax to 600 crates each. There sre probably W crates yet to be shipped In small lots on local consign ments. The hulk of the crop this season was handled through a Portland commission firm, which disposed of the prunes In the Eastern markets through the newly organized Northwestern .Fruit Exchange, which reported to have earned a good prorit. Exact returns of Eastern shipments have not been received here, but If the first two cars of the season are any cri terion, the Eastern price has been above the average. The first two cars sold on the Chicago market at 11.40 and tl.41 a crate, respectively, which l above the prevailing price Apple Outlook Promising. With the end of he prune season the farmers about Mosier are now looking ahead to the harvesting of the apple crop, which this, season gives promise of being larger and of finer quality than for many years past larger because many acres of new orchard are coming Into bearing and finer In quality because with each year the growers are gaining experience and are learning better how to care for their orchards. Never was the crop outlook better than at present and the only thing which is now worrying the growers Is securing of sufficient help In harvest time. Wind Damages Crop Heavily. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Aug it. (Special.) By the strong east wind of Wednesday and Thursday hundreds of tons of green prunes were shaken to the ground, causing a heavy loss to prune growers. They are too green to dry and will be a total loss. The dis trict around Mill Plain. Ellsworth and Fishers Is reported to have suffered the most. Gladstone Dwelling Bnrns. OREGON" CITT. Or., Aug. I. (Spe Ts- -S" CAMP FOB LIXCH-BELOW, PART OF cial.) The home of Mr. Briggs at Gladstone was destroyed by fire this afternoon, the cause being a defective flue. Briggs, who Is employed at night this week In the paper mills, was asleep on the second floor, and his wife busily en (raged In cooking In the kitchen. The wife, discovering the house In flames, awoke her husband, and, with the assistance of the neigh bors, succeeded In saving nearly everything on the first floor, but the furniture on the second floor was con sumed Houses nearby were saved by the heroic efforts of the Gladstone peo ple, and water was carried and thrown on the roofs, and the fire In the grass was extinguished by sacks saturated In water. MEDFORD IS AFTER RATES Commodity Tariff Is Kequested, Fol lowing Baker City's Lead. SALEM. Or.. Aug. I. (Special.) Medford. following along the line of Baker City, has also asked for com modity rates on certain articles from Portland. Among those named are agri cultural Implements, furniture, crock ery, canned goods, hardware, groceries, glassware, plumbing materials, ve hicles and staples. This Is a similar request to the one recently made by Baker City and Indicates that Medford also has an eye on the jobbing busi ness for Its district. The O. R. A N. has answered the complaint of the Baker Commercial Club. In which rates for less than car load lots are asked for that city. In the complaint, it was shown that Baker City desires to become a distributing point to tlie country for a large radius around the city. Rates for less than carload lots within a radius of 115 miles from Portland are cited as the base of the commercial club's conten tion. The O. R. N. In Its answer declares that circumstances and conditions around Portland are entirely different than those around Baker City and con sequently the matter Is brought to an Issue and will probably be tne subject of a hearing in the near future.
