Gover nor Sulzer, impeached for miscon duct in office after a lengthy trial, was up early this morning to begin liacking his goods preparatory to va ulting the executive mansion.

Looking Glass valley, about eight miles from Roseburg. There were 'a number of dyed-in-the- j wool and Simon pure pessimists in ; .the neighborhood, who viewed Mr. Best's selection with no little con-! cern, promising him that the land! was practically worthless and that it. would not grow fruit and stated that! If he ever exnected to live to see the; time he could eat apples from t lie j trees that were planted, he doubtless would some day recognize how great! a mistake he was making. Nothing daunted, Mr. Best went to work at c'rqrlnir off a tract of four nerea. ' This tract he set out to Yellow New tons. Ortleys, Spftzenburgs and John athans. These trees are now from five to seven years old, as they were not all planted the same year, for the very good reason that the land was not nil in readiness the same season. This orchard has been given the best of care. Mr. Pest sprayed systematically and thoroughly. He has pruned and thinned relentlessly, bo that at this time every tree In the orchard is In the pink of conditions. Last year Mn Pest marketed 71 boxes of apples from these four acres. This season he has just fin ished picking, and the yield of mark etable fruit Was 4140 boxes. Anoth er feature of this yield is that of ? the New tons nml Soft zen burgs, it required only from 64 to 11.1 apples to fill a box. This fine lot of fruit has been to New York parties, who knlfv a pood thing when they see it. and the frice, although not stated, is sa'ri to be exceedingly satisfactory to Mr. Be-t. A load of -10 boxes of tnoae npNes were brought in mnrnin:r. and the entire shipment will coon lie on its wA East.
