Acting Secretary Curtis of the treas
ury department intimated plainly that
the government would interfere should
an attempt be made to give practical ef
fect to the suggestion of Governor
Waite of Colorado to make silver legal
tender and provide for its free coinage
at the state mint. Curtis said Governor
Waite knew very well that the United
States alone has the right to coin money
and that coinage by a state would be
contrary to the constitution. The at
torney general, he said, would be asked
for advice as to the proper course to
take should the occasion require action,
which he did not think would be needed.

It is said that Max Pracht's
peaches, the medal they captured,
and the . newspaper praise they
received were the cause of consid
erable bitterness of feeling to our

well on most other varities of decid

rOregon would rival them in
peaches.
The question as to the amount of
fuel required to dry prunes is an
important one. Mr. Henry E.
Doscb, whose evaporator was de
scribed in this paper a few weeks
ago, dried 30,000 pounds of fresh
prunes with four and one-half cords
of fir wood. The wood was care
,fully measured so that there could
be no mistake. This shows that it
takes about half a cord of wood to
dry 1,000 pounds of cured prunes
in a properly constructed evapo
rator. In almost all parts of West
ern Oregon and Washington the
cost of cutting and hauling fir wood
to the evaporator will not exceed
one dollar per cord which would
make the fuel bill only five cents
per hundred pounds of cured
prunes. Even at two dollars per
cord the expense would be but tea
cents per hundred pounds.
Apples can now be shipped from
any part of Oregon and Washing
ton as far as Chicago at the rate of
one dollar per hundred pounds in
carload lots. This rate will probably
enable all the apples of the two
states that are worthy of shipment
to reach a paying market on ac
count of the high price of apples in
the East. Ia ordinary years, how
ever, even this rate will admit of
the shipment of only choice apples,
and the railroads will probably dis
cover in the near future that it will
pay them to make a lower rate
rather than prevent the develop
ment of what may easily become &
great source of revenue. There is
a market in Wisconsin, Minnesota
and the Dakotas for thousands of
barrels of winter apples and the
Pacific Northwest can very eoon
supply this demand if given freight"
rates which will enable the apple
growers of this section to compete i
with those of Michisan and New
York.

It is a mistake to only plant one
row of peas fcr a family oi tea.
"A mistake to plant a garden in
beds, everything should be in long
rows so they can be cultivated with
a horse.
It is a mistake when yon set
your trees closer together than
twenty feet as many do.
A mistake to only plow your
orchard once and then leave it
without harrowing as I have seen
done.
A mistake to plant trees on wet
lan d.
A mistake to plant more orchard
than you will take care of.
A mistake to plant all your orch
ard to one variety; they do not fer
tilize as well, and shortens the sea
son of drying.
A mistake not to plant any orch-"
ard for fear the fruit business is
going to be over-done.
A mistake to be always ready to
sell out and go into some other bus
iness, simply because fruit is low in
price. .Every other business :s-$ust

A mistake to be always . dls-
couracea ond ready to trv somthxns

A mistake to put off setting your
strawberries until dry weather com
mences ; a greater mistake not to
plant any at all.
A mistake to plant trees deepar

have lost many trees five and six
years old from deep setting. O i

A mistake not to have a drver of
your own such a season as this.
A great mistake to dry green
prunes as some have done, thinking

injure the reputation of Oregon
more than can be estimated.
A mistake to not grada your
