Other things considered, this Is a very lucra tive reimbursement. In the first place the product l produced from under Sized cherries a well as . over ripe fruit. Only 50 per cent In.' weight Is lost In the process of drying. . It costs the growers at Cove 1 cent per pound to lay thein down at the Cove drier, and 1 cents to have them dried. The transportation comes under a dried prune rate, and, ot course, there is no room for losa in transportation like there Is with the fresh fruit hence the shipments can be made In slow freight cars.' Cherries, ot the Republican variety, are being picked this week, says C. Stackland, who Is In La Grande to day, and when the entire cherry crop that did not sell Is converted Into this new kind of product that takes the place of raisins, he will have about two carloads at least. That this Industry may grow to be come an Important side Issue of the cherry hnnlntwis in this Valley, is firmly believed by the Stackland Bros. They are delighted with the ready market which they found and have figured a snug profit from the by-product, si to speak. MIXING ENGINEEIt IIEIIE.

Alfred Tdhhaug, a mining engineer ar- a who has mined In Scandinavian coun tries, studied mines and mining in Germany and the United States, is at the Sommer hotel today. For the past several months he has been with the late Pldcock mine of, Idaho, but of late he has been looking over the Pa cific coast with a view of finding a suitable place to locate. He la one of that class of mining engineers who are trying to drive the wild-cat artist into oblivion, and he made a study of mining property presentation while In Chicago. He has devoted several years to the study of how to advertise a mine with merit, and how to detect the defective and wild-cat scheme, tie may remain In the county for several days yet, riiilipplno TcU'heT.
