From tho opening of the strawberry season, up to September f, more than 13 S3 car loads of fruit and produce have been shipped by tho North Pacific Fruit Crowds' Distributing Association. Such is the declaration of O. H. Cash, inspector of the Western Oregon Fruit Growers' branch of this or ganization, who left Albany today for t'orvallis, where he Is complet ing piling for the shipping of a car load of apples rrom this vicinity. In company with I). W. Humbaugh, county fruit inspector, Mr. Cash spent Sunday scouring the Immediate countryside, in search of ready ap ple crops that may be sent in the Kastern shipment. lie will return this evening and expects to have his car ready for moving by the end of the week. That the present apple crop of the Northwest averages up well with those of former years, is the decla ration of Mr. Cash. Hut tho price, he states, has been lowered on ac count of the war in Europe and tho scarcity of ready markets in the United States. Apples of Linn County, coming from orchards where they have been properly cared for, will bring good yields, the inspector believes, but blight has crept into many orchards where slovenly methods or arming are In operation. The North Pacific Association will this vear transport and sell at least 's.') per cent of the apple crop of the Northwest. Under this system of co-operative selling farmers are able to appoint their own marketers and by pooling their producls are able to command better prices than ever be- It'ore. Froiii Western Oregon, mean ing the Willamette Valley, more than 33 carloads of proddco have been shipped this year. HORN. M A I H )OX . To M r. a u d M m. I ten Maddux, in Koseburg, on Sunday, Sept.

Rome, Sept. 8. The arrival of a quarter of a million Russian troops in France to help the allies is the reason for the Germans' abandonment of their plan to besiege Paris, the Tribuna today asserted.

This compelled a complete alteration of the Kaiser's campaign, and he hurried to Metz to confer with his general military staff. The Tribuna made these statements without qualification, and professed to have positive information therefor. AUSTRIAN ARMY IS RETIRING. Petrograd, Sept. 7. The Russian general staff in an official communication issued tonight says: "In the sphere of operations around Rawa (32 miles northwest of Lem berg in Galicia) the Russian forces continue a number of serious engagements. The Austrian army, which has been operating in the direction of Kholm, is retiring, repulsed by the Russian troops, which have taken numerous prisoners, together with artillery and ammunition trains. "Five hundred Austrian soldiers are in hospitals suf fering from dysentery, which is said to be ravaging the ranks of the enemy. On the German front there have been only insignificant skirmishes." SUBURBS OF PARIS ARE CLEARED. Paris, Sept. 7. The population of Paris and suburbs before the war was 3,400,000. According to semi-official figures it is 2,010,000 today, owing to the mobilization of the army and the departure of the fugitives. The Minister of Public Works is aiding people to leave and is providing free transportation in many cases. The transportation of 250,000 people from the suburbs of Paris to the south and southeast commenced Sunday. These people were ordered to leave their homes so that the houses could be destroyed, leaving a clear range for the guns of the forts. The resi dents of Neuilly and Boulogne-Sur-Seine, as well as the vast populations on the other sides of the city, were taken away on trains provided by the government. AMERICANS RECEIVE ASSISTANCE. London, Sept. 7. Among the 2000 Americans who crowded the rooms of the American relief committee when it opened today were 160 who came over from Havre on the American cruiser Tennessee. The remainder were chiefly from Flushing, Ostend and Rotterdam and were largely Americanized Germans who are virtually without money and who must be assisted back to the United States by the committee. Refugees from Germany say there is still a large number of American citizens in Germany who are unable to get out because of the limited train facilities. A large proporton of the refugees who are applying to the committee for relief are absolutely penniless. The crowd this morning was so great that the committee merely gave applicants enough money to buy something to eat and is sued cards, which will be presented to the finance commit tee for further help.
