Fruit Proapec-ta.
The Telegram says: "Those who
ought to bo informed say the prospects
are good for a full fruit crop next sum
mer. Bo (ar, unless possibly in a few
localities, tho buds have not been in
jured, and the season is now so far ad
vanced that extensive damage ia iin
proliable. This is encouraging to botli
growers and consumers of fruit. While
a large and general crop causes low
prices, growers in general can endure
too great an abundance rather than so
universal and extensive a shortage as
occurred last year. This latter condi
tion renders a few growers exceptionally
prosiierous, but does not compensate for
tho loss and expense sustained by the
majority of growers and all consumers.
Oregon is sure of a large fruit crop
almost every year and it will rapidly
increase in quantity. The problem pre
sented to the horticulturists is to find a
prollmblo market outside the state for
their surplus. This, with prunes and
sound, first-class winter apples, prop
erly hand led, is easy ; the distant demand
is so loud that it reaches io the Oregon
orchards; but with some other fruits
some efforts will be necessary. The
principal requirements, however, are:
Sound fruit, honestly and carefully
pai'ked, so as to meet the critical de
mand of retailers and consumers. When
Oregon fruitgrowers act up to this rule,
they will receive a very large aggregate
sum anuually from abroad for Oregon
fruits, and horticulture will become one
of our greatest industries.
Card of Thanks.
We take this means of extending our
thanks to friends and neighbors whose

Effecting School Clerk.
Under date of March 1st. Prof. J. II.
Ackerman, superintendent of public
instruction, has issued a circular letter
to the county superintendents through
out the state. It is circular letter No.
10, and deals with the salaries of school
district clerks, being, to a certain ex
tent an explanation of circular letter
No. 9, treating on the same subject, and
issued by the department several weeks
ago. The text of the letter follows :
"According to circular letter No. 9,
school clerk are not allowed to use any
of the common school fund for salaries.
The decision was given in order to give
you a working oasis to disallow the
exorbitant salaries to school clerks
which has been tho practice, in some
districts, in the past. However, I would
Buggest that it might be as well to allow
school clerks a nominal sum for their
salaries; enough, at least, to cover the
ordinary expenses, sucli as postage,
stationery, etc., and perhaps a small
sum for their services."
The Sbouidor-Slapping Fad.
A friendly shoulder slap broke a
man's neck a few weeks ago in New
York City. There is only one worse
nuisance in the world than the rib
poker, and that is the slioulder-slapper.
They have both outlived their useful
ness and are tit objects of solicitude for
the Society for Doing Without Some
People. The fiend who takes care una
ware on a crowded pavement with a
facetious bat on the shoulder blade
when you are meditating on the ideal
and beautiful, and expects you to twist
your shaken vertebrae into a genial nod
and greet him with a happy,, flatulent
smile, possesses an heroic soul that
would not recognize the language of
conventional remonstrance, lie is not
criminal and be is not crazy; he is
simply an idiot. The lunatic asylums
and the jails are overworked, but the
foolkiller doesn't half know his business.
We have saved many doctor bills since

for a doctor and incur a large doctor bill,
for Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy never
