Few fruitgrowers express any fear of
the result of Oregon's present winter, as
they do not anticipate there will be any
frost from now on that will prove dis
astrous. Trees generally are reported
to be in healthy condition and orchard
lets are giving considerable attention to
spraying.
It is announced that three battalions
of soldiers will be brought home from

ease. The quarantine in Chinatown
ill be lifted this afternoon.
The sun is drying np the mud to a
remarkable degree the last few days,

for the better, as our boulevards now
look like they belong to a frontier village
where ambition and energy are woefully
lacking.
Edward Neve, a patrolman on the
line between Auburn and Tacoma, was
killed near Auburn Thursday night by
coming in contact with a live wire.
Eight thousand volts of electricity
passed through his body. It was evi
dent that he had fallen from the top of
a pole, where he was working.
Notwithstanding the vigilance of the
quarantine officers, the fact has leaked
out that one case of bubonic plague
made its appearance at Diamond Point
quarantine station, the victim being a
member of the crew of the Japenese
steamship Nanyo Mam. The case de
veloped five weeks ago, and since that
time the vessel and crew have been held

Soot weeks ago a snbicriptinn was
taken np among the different citizens of
the ton who keep roadsters, to improve
the road between the city and Chenowlth
creek. A great deal of work has been
done, and the Improvement is so notice
able that many favorable comments have
been made. Those who have not been
over the road lately, should take a In
over it and note the improvements, and
the amount of work that has been done.
The lower road is completed while the
tipper one is being placed In repair as
rapidly as possible. Those who have
had the work in charge are deserving ol
much praise.
Activ work was commented yester
day morning on the site of the new wool
couring mill, which Is to be lr cited on

north of the first National bank build-
ing. The property Is very suitable (or a
plant of this nature, being accessible to
the railroad and within two blocks of
the D. P. & A. N. d'. warehouse and
duck. TLe property having been
,pn!ched at a very low figure, a better
teturily is afforded the stockholders
The citizeus in general are quite en
thusiastic over the new acquisition a
many advance the . hope that it is the
fore runner of a soap factory acd
eventually a woolen mill.
The Cored Fruit Association oi the
Pacific Northwest cams into legal ex
istence yesterday. It was fully incor
porated, electors chosen, stocks sub
scribed and plans for work formulated.
Its final success now depends entiiely
upon support given by the many small
irrowera. Manv lari?8 nrune orchardi ts
are represented iu the organizitlon, and
are almost a unit for co-operation.
While the Cored Fruit 'Association of
the Pacific Northwest is organize 1, ab
solutely and completely, its present ex
istence is in a measure an experiment.
The electors rnd officers now chosen are
not expected to perform the vast work
of marketing the crop, should the as
sociation be in shape for the coming
season. They are instructed to organize
the campaign to get the g'rower into
line, and when all the disUicts are fully
represented and time has been spent in
deliberating over the capacity of officers,
the executive force of the association,
who are to handle its business affairs,
will be named. Fourteen of the 15 di
rectors have been named, and these di
rectors have all power in their keeping;
but when the annual meeting in June is
called, it is the purpose to name a new
set of officers throughout, that the
fullest opportunity may be given all
growers to have a voice.

out bilght and clear in a peifctly
cloudless ky and the air waa balmy as

struction material for the Central Navi

into the big eddy. The trip was made
with ease and Captain Alden anticipates
no t rouble In towing loaded scows Into
the eddy, bu. thinks they could not be
safely towed back at the present stage
of water. The Regulator ia the first
boat that ever crossed the rapids up
wards. Some of the copperhead papers ore
shouting gleefully, "The Filipino rebe'-
lion is not tup pressed." This would
be great news to the Democratic party
if it were true, says the Globe-Democrat
Bryan would whoop for joy if the Fili
pinos should make an onslaught on the
Americans anywhere in the islands and
kill them or drive them into Manila or
on to the war-ships. But Bryan will
never get a chance to do any whooping
on this account. The rebellion in the
Philippines, which was instigated by
the Democratic party, has been sup
pressed. If the copperhead papers have
any doubts on this point, let them ak
Aguinaldo alout it, if ttieyc in find bim.
He will quickly tell them the jig is up
for him and for them. '
That little folks can entertain was
fully proven last Saturday alternoon,

written the word "Transfiguration,"

word into as many other as 'possible.

No further disappointment.
We were disappointed last week ourselves in not getting our
SPRING GOODS
marked and on our counters for inspection, but to many things crowded themselves into the week that we could
not get around to the marking of Roods, although many of them were unpacked and all thev required was a few
small figures to make them more desirable to you than ever. We will not disappoint you naain in thin par
ticular, for we are juet as anxious in this matter as you are, and if vou will indulge us just a little longer we
will repay you for your patient waiting by a display of all the latest novelties in WaBh Fabrics that the most fasti

of allowing all wool teams during the

be shipped by rail from Sbaniko.

returned two weeks ago from a trip to
China and Japan and was in his usual
mental health til! four days ago when
bis strange conduct attracted the atten
tion of his family. The young man is
not violent and good hopes are enter
tained that the aberation is only tempo
rary. Mr. Hugh Glenn had a letter the
other day from a gentleman interested
in the flour milling business, who lay
that he has been informed tbat "some
parties in The Dalles are canvassing the
proposition or putting in a large flour
mill" here and that if she proposition is
ripe, enough he would "like to talk
business." Mr.' Glenn, like ourselves,
t not aware that there ha been any
seriou talk here on this line but wishes
there were, Mr. Glenn will be more
than pleased to show the letter to any
one interested in this matter.
Leslie Butler expect to open hi bank
at Hood River about the first of April.
The style of the firm will be Butler A
Co., and Mr. Butler' son, Truman, will
be associated with his father In the busi-1
nesa and act a cashier, with M. Leslie
Butler as president. It is an act of
simple justice to aay of the Messrs.
Butler that they are men of the -highest
reputation, morally, socially and com
mercially. The father was in business
here for the period of eighteen years,
during which ne built up a largo and
profitable business. Truman is a Dalles
boy who has been associated with his
father since he loft school, excepting!
the few years he was purser on the
Regulator. It is doing the son honor to
say he is a chip off the old block. They
may not make a fortune banking in Hood
River but they will change mightily if
they do not establish a reputation for
honorable dealing that will endure when
hanks anil all that in them are shall have
vanished Into eternal nothingness.
The Old Monumental Mine.
Chas. S. Miller, w ho gave his name to
Miller' Bildge, and who has beon lost
to old Wareo county acquaintances for
years, lately underwent an operation in
Portland which has resulted in his rec
toration to health. A Charley ,tick or
well, could not be idle, he u laid to
have enlirted Portland capital in Mi old
Monumental mine, in Grant county,
and that work will soon be reiome l on
the property so long idle tbat ft has been
almost forgotten.
The Monumental I a mine with a
history, and the story tells of many up

j when the mine was equipped with a
stamp pill. During all these years Mr.
Miller has been so intimately associated
with the property thit his hame has
been the synonym of the word Monu
mental. It is a silver property, and for
that reason the mine has encountered
more drawbacks than falls to mining
property as a rule. Never disheartened
and ever hopeful, Mr. Miller has kept
bis nerve and it is not unlikely that with
the general interest now attracted to the
mines In Grant ounty he has succeeded
In bringing to his support the necessary
funds by which he will be enabled to
show the true merits of the Monument

WINTER TRIPS.
For winter residence or winter outing
ideal conditions will be found on every
hand in California. Plenteous early
rainfall has this teason given to the
semi-tropical vegetation wonderful im

usuaiiy generous and the crop of
southern fruits bountiful and excellent.

Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, Long
Beach, Coronado and the enchanted isle
of the sea, Catnllna where fishing,
boating, rambling, riding, hunting and
loafing uay be enjoyed as nowhere else.
Quiet little spots, snug and warm,
offer themselves at Mon,tecito, Nordhoff,

For renewing health nd vigor, here
abound many tot epringt, of widely
varying constituent and demonstrated
merit; the dry, ant I tic, tonic air of
the desert may be enjoyed at Banning,

Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso, exists con
ditions equally well indicated for weak
throats and lungs.
Many think nothing in nature more
attractive than the shimmering olive
orchards of Santa Barbara and San

of Ventura and Loa Nletoe, or the
lemons of Fernando; but for glorioos
fruit and graceful tree commend us to
the golden orange, first, last and always,
and it exists in greatest perfection at

scientific and tempting fashion in which
the sorting and packing of the orange is
here accomplished.
