Young Son of Weather Bureau Ob server Leaves Home 2nd Time. Wendell R. Hell, young son of Win. S. Bell, local observer of the United StateB Weather Bureau, has myster iously disappeared from this city. Foul play Is not feared, as the young man has left home before without warning his parents. This was about one year ago when the family was residing at Pocatello, Idaho. Young Bell went to Seattle to visit his grandfather, Seattle cannot be his destination now, as the grandparent has since died. It is believed by his parents that the boy Is heading to ward Portland, where he has an ac quaintance, another boy of about his own age, whom he knew In Pocatello. The authorities all along the line of the railroad have been notified to keep a lookout for the lad. When he left here he had only about $1 In money on his person. While the family was staying tem porarily at the Hotel McClallen, young Bell, laBt Wednesday, after eating his dinner, started, as usual ostensibly on his return to school. That was the last seen of him by his parents. He did not go to school, but left the city. In what man ner or In what direction, his parents cannot Imagine. The boy is 16 years of age, but appears to be older. He wore a black coat and vest, dark trousers, low-top button shoes, brown derby hat, striped shirt nearly white, stiff collar and blue tie. He carried a gold watch and gold fob, with his Initials "W. R. B." en graved In the form of a monogram on the latter. He has dark hair and brown eyes.

PRIES BRING CASH Over $200,000 Realized This Year's Crop For SOME MORE HEAVY YIELDS Peter Ulatn Receives $1665 From Crop on Six Acres, Amounting to $277.50 Per Acre What would be considered phe nomenal returns for fruit crops In less favored localities are being re ceived almost dally by fruitgrowers In Douglas county. Amoug the latest to report Is Peter Ulam, of Kiddle, who was In town Saturday, accom panied by Mrs. Ulam. While here Mr. Ulam called on The Hevlew and kindly favored us with a statement In regard to his prune crop. From 600 prune trees, occupying just six acres of land, he harvested this sea son 37,000 pounds of fruit that be ing the weight of the crop after it was cured and ready for the mar ket. These prunes were of the Ital ian variety and averaged 5fs to (iOs In size. This crop has been sold at 4 cents per pound, bringing a total return of $lGif from the six acres, or an Income of $277.50 per acre for this one crop. Another important feature in con nection with this Is the fact that from this same orchard for the past U:i successive years Mr. Ulam has never had a crop failure. Ills fruit Is grown entirely without irrigation another very Important and labor saving feature, as every orehardlst well knows. Mr. Ulam purchased this orchard then newly planted ten years ago for $125 per acre, which was then considered a very high price. In fact a number of peo ple considered him visionary to pa what they considered to be nn ex orbitant price for this piece of land. Mr. Ulam's good judgment has since been splendidly verified, however, and he Is now receiving for a single crop more than twice as much per acre as he then paid for the land. And ho considers this year's crop by no means a phenomenal one. llnd he paid ten times what he did for this piece of land, this year's crop would still bring him over 22 per cent on the investment. As ft 1b he la receiving for this crop alone over 220 per cent on his original Invest ment. Along with several others Mr. Ulam has been leading the way to ward the wonderful future which is in store for the fruit-growing Indus try in Douglas county, and which In a few yenrs more Is bound to bring In from the markets of the world a vastly increased annual stream of golden wealth to the fortunate pos sessors of Douglas county orchards. Primes Itrlng Big Money. While as yet it 1b Impossible to make any exact estimate of this year's prune output In Douglas county, as many growers have not yet shipped their crops and parking is scarcely half completed, still It Is safe to say that the growers will re ceive upwards of $200,000 In the aggregate for this season's crop. This may well be termed as being all new money, as the fruit Is all Bold abroad, and the Income thus received adds that amount to the permanent wealth of the county. This Is for the prune crop alone, and It means more than $10 per capita for every man, wo man and child in the county. Per haps nearly as much more Is receiv ed from the exports of other varieties of fruit from this county, and It Is beyond question that Douglas county fruit exports wilt be many times multiplied within the next decade. A million dollars per year senms likely to be a conservative estimate of the Douglas county fruit crop five years hence. The fruit industry is a great dis tributor of wealth as well as being Immensely profitable to the growers i The packing house In Roseburg un i der the management of H. L. Glle. now has a dally payroll of upwards of $100, and this continues through 1 out the season of three or four 1 months. The Tlllson &Co. park ing house here also pays out large sums, as does that of French & Co., at Myrtle Creek. While these are no small Items they are but a frac tion of the siitiiri paid out for raring for the orchards and picking the fQ'lt and curing It. Of the upwards or $200,000 received for this year's I rrop. considerably more than half goes at once Into the hands of the wage workers employed In produc ing and caring for the prune crop. The game conditions also apply large ly to other branches of the fruit In dustry. What One Man 11ns Done. Mr. Gile tells us that perhaps the largest crop In volume and value which he Is handling this year Is that of Dr. L. D. Scarbrough, of Creswell, Lane county. Dr. Scar brough began prune growing on a Bmall scale eight years ago. He now has about 165 acres devoted to that fruit and this season Mr. Gile is pay ing him about $30,000 for his crop. ATter building two new driers at a total cost of $4000, Dr. Searbrougll will still realize a net profit, above all cost of production of 'over $15, 000, for this year's crop. How prunes bring monoy from abroad Is shown by tho, tuct that Mr. Glle shipped ten curloadB last month direct from Roseburg to European markets. This fruit went to Kng land , Germany, . and olio carload to Dublin. HOW OREGON GROWS. Splendid Compliment Paid to Oregon r ir uy imsifrii ijuiiiihtiuhh. PORTLAND, Nov. 2. Eugene sur prised the people of this entire coun try last year by raising a great ad vertising fund and paying a snlary of $5000 annunlly for an expert. Up to last Saturday night there had been subscribed for the coming year $18,601, to which will be added $1400, the total being more than a dollar and a half for every man, wo man and child In the city, and this will be used In advertising the re sources and advantages of Eugene and Lane county. Eugene Is deter mined to go ahead and doesn't mind a little thing like a national elec tion. What other town of 10,000 people In Oregon, Washington or California can match this record? Salem will have the convention of the Oregon State Dairy Association December 10th and 11th nnd already preparations are being made for a gathering that will surpuss all prev ious meetings. The Oregon Develop ment League will continue to work with the Association and uses the dairy report as one of Its most effect ive pieces of literature In correspond ing with eastern farmers. Oregon fir never had a compliment paid which meant so much as the edi torial which appeared In the "Am erican Lumberman, of last week, the world's leading lumber journal. . J. E. Deffenbnugh, editor of the period ical nnd known to every lumberman, personally penned the editorial, which says In part: "Douglas fir needs no stain to make It beautiful In color, It does not have to be carefully selected for grain, it takes a One finish nnd Is strong and as hard as ninny of the woods used for finer purposes. On the Pacific coast are many fine resid ences and magnificent otllce buildings in which this wood Is used. It will not supplant mahogany nnd onk, hut should be used side by side with them and for substantially the same purposes." Mr. DefTcntmugh urges Its careful consideration by eastern architects.

As a final climax to the many smaller fires which have caused uneasiness in this flty recently, the elegant North Maker school building was destroyed by tho Incendiary's torch Inst night, causing a property loss of $20,000 with but $N5O0 Insurance.
