Some Valuable Points Given Oat by S. A. Clarke in I lie Oregcmiaii Eelu.fi ve to Fruit Culture. WHEN FHCIT SH l'LT BE TICKED. There is much in picking fruit at the right stage and reeogonizing that the first of the crop is always easier and safer to handle than tbe last. It ia almost invariably true, experienced fruit-dealers say, that first shipments from any source come through in better shap than succeeding ones. The theory that the tree in a measure exhausts it self on a full crop, and cunnot im part to the last half of the fruit gathered as much strength and vitality as pertains to what is gath ered at first, seems to prevail. All of these things are of importance to the grower, and should govern his manngment of work. I noticed last summer that the first cherries shipped were very firm and handled well. Cherries do not all ripen to gether, and for shipment must be gathered with care. The last I gath ered seemed to ripen suddenly, and lecame soft and rie sooner than expected, so I belive there is some thing in this theory, Mv fruit had only l.COO miles to go. and was de livered there in two davs tune, so they went all right by express, hut it is no doubt correct to pick the last third of a cherry crop before it can ripen on the tree, or as soon as the fruit poseses enough flavor and size to ship well Our fruit-growers must learn to make hoses neatly, pick fruit ripe enough to mature and not s rie as to spoil liefore it cmo reach msr ket, and to pack the fruit so it will Strike the eye of the purchaser forci bly. Second-class giods. if well packed, uill sell U tter than first class g-Mxis that are packed in a shabby way. The fruit grower must I ecome a good business man and learn Jo do everything on correct business principles; fruit must show riff nicely to command the resject of the puri'hasvr. shall rnrxus alone he ilantf.d? I have met some gentlemen who went to California to attend the con vention of fruit-growers at San Jose. II. V. Cottle, who takes a- promi nent interest in fruit-growing was one who went there, ami his state ments of the appearance of the at tendance suppos'd to be a thous and men is interesting. In the first pi ice they were bright and in telligent, and seemed to care little for exiiense, as thev s!piied nnnv of thtm at an elegant hotel that charged $4 and $5 a day. Then1. as here, professional and business men have become fruit-growers, and not mere dullards.' They seemed to be well-to-do, and gave the im pression that the business paid well. It was remarked in the convention that enough prune trees were plan ted to produce 1XXJ.U00.000 pounds ot prunes per annum. A gentleman who hail a large prune orchard told him he had Iwen planting prunes for lt years, and ail the while they had claimed that the business was overdone. He tueatit to plant more, and had no fears. As to apricots, it does not seem that these fruits succeed anywhere in Western Oregon well enough to supply the needs of any great com pany. As to peaches: It is only a question of time, when the river Uittoius and favorable locations on western hillsides will produce all we need for all purposes. Our pea ches are much finer quality than those grown in California, and there is enough good ground to put them on to produce an immense quantity of fruit. The sooner this region produces peaches in quantity, the better it will be. The canning of fruits and vegetables can be made an immense business, but to suc cecdthe canner demands a supply of peaches to keep up with the rest of the world. A Sura Cure for Files.

Ayers, state mineral com missioner for the World's Fair has address the following instructions to those who contemplate making an exhibit: I desire to call the attention of miners and mine-owners through out the state to what is wanted from them in making up Oregon's min eral display at Chicaco. In order to have system and uniformity in! getting the exhibit together it will be necessary for all to have some rule to follow. To that end I have prepared the following: For coal exhibits it will be nec essary to pack closely in boxes that will hold not more than 40 pounds, and in as large pieces as possible op to this weight. liuilding stone, lime stone, kao lin, fire-clay and kindred substan ces, in cubes of 12 inches, dressed on different faces to show difference iu methods of finish. If possible, a small quantity of manufactured articles made from the materials mentioned. Iron ores, in pieces of no greater weight than 100 pounds, and not more than on? such piece from any one mine Whore it is of smaller chunks, not more pieces than will aggregate 100 pounds in weight. Gold, silver, copper, nickel and kindred ores in quantities of not less than 100 ounds from each mine or prospective mine, and not more than 500 ixiunds from any one. Ores in large pieces are tlw best for c-xhib- j infested jungles, all kinds of man iting purposes, and as much of our j eating animals, and p ithless forests, ores in Oregon are in a granulated j ut entirely with ice and snow. If or d-coniiosed condition, great care j he can solve'the problem of carry- tuu.-t be us. d in handling and ship p:ng. Iirt from placer mines should be gathered from off led-rock. and all gravel stones larger than a quail's egg picked out. Two or three sacks of such dirt from any one mine i- sufficient. This dirt will be worked at the fair on the miniature placer mine in regular manner, end credit given the mine fcom which the dirt I is taken. In every case when ores are taken i m the mines, or owners, an ac- curate description of the mine, j valley rvad. amount of work done, owner or Vm. F. Kennedy to B;nj. S.

J aisinci iii ivuicii mine is siiuaieu .iiid name of nearest postoflice or trading poir.t. All this information is necessary for the proper distribu tion of information to visitors, and is also requisite in making proper classification of the minerals. Any one having any choice rich speci mens of ore that were found in Or egon are asked to let us have them, and a receipt will be given for their safe return at tho close of exposi tion. All such specimens, together with all nuggets, gold and silver bricks, opals, crystals, etc., and any thing tf special value will be kept in a locked showcase, and will be put in a safe at all hours during which, the exhibition is closed to visitors. It will not be possible for us to receive any private cabinets or col lections, as our space in the mineral building will not admit, but all val uable or choice specimens will be accepted from them and placed in showcases and proper credit given to the o'.vnets. In ail such cases, however, it will be necessary for the owner to give a proper descrip tion of each specimen, as without identity they are without value. Another important factor to be kept in mind is that our time is very short. It will require ener getic action on the part of all, to uiake the exhibit what it should be, and I trust that all will work ac cordingly. Any one having anything ready will please ship it without delay to rortland, Or., and mark packages plainly to C. W. Ayers, mining commissioner, for world's fair. All freight charges will be paid here. Mothers Baeommondation.

Lieutenant Peary is again to pen etrate the ice-clad wilderness of the North. His ambition is warmed, not cooled, by Artie atmosphere. This time he means to continue un til he has nailed the Hug to the pole itself or camped on that end of the globe with it for a tent post. Un daunted by the fate of other explor ers, he believes that he can reach the farthest North in reality as well as by comparison. He will start backed by the Geographical Club of Philadelphia. To cover his ex penses ?25.000 is required, of which it will furnish $1Q.0j0. To many this will seem a -useless expendi ture of money and will carry with it danger to many lives, with the possibility of the entire outfit freez ing to death. As long, however, as this ii private capital, and men are willing to accompany Lieutenant Peary, it is the gain or kws of the j private individuals concerned, i Though the project may appear fool ish and of no practical benefiV, it is ! the way ot the world. Men will never be satisfied until they know all that; is lobe learned of this earth, while science in itself is greatly in terested in the outcome of Pearv's second trip. In Stanley's second invasion of Africa, he accomplished what was impossible to him on his first tour, and vent where most men predicted he and his baud would surely meet destruction. Peary's fight will not be with the wiide?i savages, miasmatic swamns. death- ing provisions and keeping wa:n, there is no limit to his achievement until he has found an oprn sea or orosse.1 to the north of the eastern hemisphere.

George Miller, omof tbe bast natured and most extensive real estate dealers In Eugene, bas invented a flying ma chine. It Is a fine pieca of work and if it proves a success Mr. Miller's fortune is mads. While waiting for tbe pulss of these great American people to' get in a condition to accept bis new mode of locomotion be sells real estate ai a lucrative pastime. A couple of yearn ago a story somehow got started that during one of Oregon's summer-like dayi, and in mid-winter, George dis covered a strawberry plant growing: outride and in full bloom. He g&thared the blossoms and sent them to a Nor wegian iu Minnesota. The Norwegian thought Oregon was a ''purty gude places, I tank so," and proceeded at (raw to make hid way to Eugene with all possible haste. Just before his ar rival our customary mid-winter sum mer weather bad vanished and ia its stead was real, genuine winter, with about a foot oi snow to back it up. This was the condition of things when the Norwegian unloaded bis "grip" at Eugene. He eaCed upon Mr. Miller, who fortooately for himself (Miller) was out of sight to the Norwegian at least. In just aa even efgbt days that Norwegian was back in Minnesota driv ing oxen, and it is said a vigorous kick gosa with every strawberry blchfaom he looks upon. Another item is going the rounds of the state press, like this: A Eugene real estate agent some weeks siace wrote a glowing account of the second crop of Oregon strawberries to some parties in Illinois. They pack.-d up and struck Eugene just as the snow was sixtn inches d jep. Th agent his takn to the woods. While Mr. Miller's nam j is not mixed up with this, we will wag.;r that those strawberries came from the sums plant f.-cm which he took the blossoms. The Crow's Are Hostile. From Laurel. Montana, comes the news that open warfare has bro ken out between the settlers on the newly opened portion of . the Crow reservation and the Indians, snd the wildest excitement exists at the town of Wilsey and the neighbor ing country. Ranchmen around1 ilsey are moving their wives and children to places of safety and preparing to defend their claims. The firs: bl-iodshed occurred Friday morning. Little Face, a Crow Indian being killed. -His body was brought to Wilsey that evening. The Indians, wlx have been al lotted land in severalty and have become angered at the encroach ments of the whites, undertook to drive off a settler named Hender son. On Monday they drove Hen derson away, but lie returned with a coupSe of friends, all armed. The redskins gathered in a elcmp of timber and sent Little Face forward. He told Hentlersoo. if he remaiBed on the tract of land which he- bad houiesteaded tweatr-fouj hours, longer he would be scaJped and his body fed to the crows He them whistled and his companions began to pour out of the woods, at the same. time reaching for his gon. which he had set against a tree. He was not quick enough how ever, as Henderson shot him through the heart. With a wild yell his companions disapeared double quick into the woods. The Crows are "making medi cine" a:id perepairicg for actual warfare. This is the first time the Crows have ever shown hostility b the whites. It is expected that two or three companies of United States troops will be orlernl to Wilsey as soon as the War Department can be informed of the critical state of a airs. Rheumatism Quickly Cored. Three days is a very short time it which to cure a bad case of rheumatism: but it can bj done, if the proper treat ment is adopted, &s will bo seen by tbe following from James Lambert, of Xew Brunswick, 111.: "I was badiy afflicted with rheumatism in the hips and legs, when I bough! a bottle of Cnambe.-laiu Paiu Balm. It cured me in three days. I am all right to-day: and would insist oa every oue who is"a31iet-?d with that torriblo disease to use Chamborlaiifs Pain Balm- and get well a o:iee." 50 c-nt bottles for sale by G. H.
