B runk , P. M. Grammar Schools Commencement. Fruit Prospects. The great fruit crop, indicated by the profusion of blossom, will not this year be realized. The fruit is dropping from the trees. The petite prune is almost gone. The Italian and Silver prunes now promise to be about a one-half crop ; other varieties a very fair crop. Bartlett pears and apples will make a fair crop, unless more drop; and cherries will be a poor crop. Some sections report j>oor fruit prospects, as outlined above, while other sections report good fruit prospects. The fruit will be less in the northern half of the Willamette Valley than elsewhere. The efiuse of the change in the fruit prospects is ascribed by some as being due to the November freeze be fore the sap had retreated ; others ascribe it to the frosts in the latter part of April; while others are of the opinion that it is due to the warm period the middle of April, during blooming. Be the cause what it may, the fruit crop, from a com parative point of view, will be short—i.e., much more than last year, but less than in 1895. Strawberries are ripe and are a very fair crop. Quinces have dropped their bloom and the fruit is well set.— From the Oregon Crop Service Report. Lloyd B. Stone Cleared, The trial of Lloyd B. Stone occurred in Cheyenne, Wyo., Tuesday, resulting in his acquittal of the charge of forgery. It will l»e remembered that young Stone was arrested in Portland last January charged with having drawn $5 on a a monev order sent to C. C. Chandler, of Delta, la., at Cheyenne. Stone admitted drawing the money, but claims he was authorized to do so in case the boys, who were traveling together, became sepa rated, as was the case. Stone claimed he made every effort to find Chandler, and produced sufficient evidence to this effect to clear himself in the eyes of the jury. Not a witness was called in his defense, his evidence being in the form of letters, which, with the young man’s own straightforward story, proved suf ficient. Stone has many friends in Port land, Ashland and Halsey, who will be glad to hear of his exoneration.—Ore gonian.
