Many peaches. ;:pricots and pears have been planted yi the vicinity of The Dalles, and a ''icw fruit region is being developed in the vicinity of Echo. ITermiston and Tr rgon. Commissioner Carson's report, was to t'ie eftVet that f ni it co ml i t ions in the ;ate are mi usually favorable, one of the reasons being that the tempernture t.f the past winter did not exceed 20 degrees and there were no floods or r (ins that injured the orchards. Commissioners .lames . K of Mil wrnikie; Charles .. Park of Salem:. R. II. Webber of The Dalles, and Secretary "Williamson of I'ortlaiul. all submitted eivouraging reports.

The semi annual report of President Wilbur K. Newell of Uastoii shows that trie 1007 crops were unusually profit able, and with the money thus realized the growers have been in a position to equip themselves with the most modern apparatus. The report also states that ; ii unusually large acreage has been s -t out in t lie last year, and that the increase in the output will be enormous in a few years. Around Grants Pass many Tokay and I'.uropean grapes have been set out and the 1 'm po.ua country is increasing its acreage in peaches. In tho Willamette valley there is a st riking increase in berry and walnut planting. Many peaches, apricots and pears have been planted in tlm vicinity of The Dalles, ami a new fruit region being developed i on irrigated lands in Hie vicinity of ho, Hermiston and Irrigon.

Ttk iHoId Your Hors The Elephants Are Coming Little Johnnie and his sister, like wise his papa and mamma, are happy, for the first and only real big circus to visit this city this season is flated to appear here Tuesday afternoon and nighr, April 2s. The adv auce ad ver tising car of the (J renter Norris & b'owe circus, museum, menagerie, hippodrome and congress of nations, arrived in this city early this morning, with .lames C. Stuart ("genial James) in charge, and about 20 billposters, lithographeis. Inut ncrmeu and programmers on board. The country for miles around will be post ed with the beautiful paper of the big show announcing he date of the circus iu this city. That the denizens of the rural districts will respond to the call of Norris Ar Howe cannot be disputed, for theirs will be the only big circus to visit this section of the country this year. This plan was made operative at a meeting of the executive officers of the big amusement combine. Mr. Stuart spoke in glowing terms of the engagement id' the Norris tV Ifowe circus in San Francisco 1 his spring, where they exhibited for On consecutive performances to 270. S73 paid admis sions, which is the greatesl number of admission tickets ever purchased and the longest engagement ever played by a circus in the west. The circus has been greatly enlarged and improved in all departments since its last appearance in this city. Nor ris & Howe purchased all of the ani mals from the Chutes company iu San Francisco, which is said to be the larg est transaction in wild animals ever consummated in this country by any one firm. Two more advertising ears will come to this cit" before the advent of the big show , and hardly a day will pass that some representative of the big eir-j cus will not. pav the eitv a visit, iu nn i official capacity. CONGRESS TO ADJOURN ABOUT MAT TWENTIETH WASHINGTON. April 11. Repro- sentntive Mann of Illinois, who more than any one is iu the confidence of i the speaker, has stated that. he expects; to see congress adjourn about May 20, j provided a rule is brought in to expo; lite the disposition of bills which have! neen to conference. j He pointed to the fact that a motion to suspend the rules and place the In-1 diau appropriation bill on its immediate! passage, made by Representative Slier-1 man, had failed, and that if the minor ity took advantage of their full rights' they could ensily force the house to. spend two months considering the sen ate amendments to this bill alone. All the republican leaders realize that their political fences need attending to and are eager to get away, ami for t hat reason more emergeiicv rules are ex- BUILD BIG POWER PLANT ; IN THE COQUILLE VALLEY j .r. S. X. Smith of f'oos It.-iy. formerly of Medford, consulting engineer of the recent ly organized 'tuniille Valley Tower company, was in Portland last week on loisiucss in connection with thai project. Mr. Smith reports that (he surveys for the pipeline, power house and flumes have heen completed and that wurlt on tho plant will begin in aliout two weeks. The powerhouse will he located midway between Marsh Held and Rnseluirtf on the old l'oo Way wayon road at the gorge near Itn-wos-ter alley. The transmission line will he ;t:i miles in leiirtli. Power has already been eoiit racted ftir by. Myrtle Point, Mandon. Marsh Ihdd ami North (tend. It is believed that the construction of the power sys tem is but the beginning of the Coos Hay and Koseburg Kleetrie railway, ap propriations for which were in part made l:ot fall by citizens of Koseburg, but on account of the unsettled con ditions of finances tho matter w:m aban doned. It has now been taken up by eastern capitalists and there is every reason to believe that the road will be built. Pacific Outlook. DIED. KINt'KAh In Table Rock district. Ap ril 1. I!HIS.
