tinns throughout Oregon art' improving
rapiiily ami that the stato is destined
f heroine one' of tin- greatest fruit
growing sections in the fluted States.
These reports also show that the past

one. (irnwers are preparing to set out
hundreds of acres of trees this year
u ml it is estimated t hut t he commer
cial output of the state in fruit during
1 .mis will be worth about .W.iuhijumi.
Tlio value of last year's erop was about
4,7-"n,(iiMi. This is the most remark
able showing ever made in the history
of the state ami gives an idea of the
enormous proportions which flu- indus
try lias attained in Oregon.
Five Horticultural Districts.
There are five horticultural districts
in the state, each represented by a com
missioner. V. K. Xewell of Gaston is
C'imrnissioner-at largp and president of
the board. The first district comprises
Washington, Tillamook, Clackamas, Co
lumbia, Multnomah. Yamhill and Clat
s"p counties. In the second district are

unusually profitable ami with the
money thus realized the growers have
been able to obtain the most modern
ai.paratus. The report also shows that
nn unusually large1 acreage has been set
out in the hist year. In the vicinity
of Grants Pass many Tokay and Euro
pean grapes have been set out and the
Vmpfpia country is increasing its acre
vv In peaches. In the Willamette val-
I. y'M'Jrere is a marked increase in cherry
mill walnut planting. 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.

i' will only be a few years when the
pear output from the state will foot up
more than $1.0m, annually.
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

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

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.
