The Jwers must have pickers, and as tbere are no Japs tbiB year, some dis cussion is going on relative to the em ployment of Indians to do this work. The crop is unusually prolific In '.he Royal Anne line and the crop is ripen ing fast. Mr. Fontana this year has leased the Grande Ronde Cash com pany warehouse and instead of plae inge fruit In barrels at Cove, It will be done here this year. This means the employment of a large force of men. In addition to the amount of cher ries Mr4 Fontana's company.will take out all the black cherries that are loi sale will be bandied from Covo oy Hood River concern. They have plac ed an order for 10,000 boxes at Cove. GENERAL T. A. BINGHAM. Ex-Polioa Commiaaionar of New York, Now City Engineer. Pension Plan for 12,000. Boston, Mass., July 1.
