BIQ FIRE AT NEEDY,
Hop and
Store House
Sm ke.
Go Up In
There was a big Are at Elliott's Prai
rie, three miles from Needy, last Satur
day night. Captain Pope's hop house,
store room and bunk bouse were des
troyed by fire. Captain Pope had been
burning out an old fence row the day
previous and it is thought likely that the
fire vas blown into the hop house from
that source, although Mr. Pope is not at
all satisfied of this.
When the fire was discovered that
night it had gained such headway that
nothing could be done to prevent it
licking up the buildings. The whole in
terior of the hop bouse seemed to be on
fire, and it is this fact that leads Mr.
Pope to belieyethat the .fire might have
been of incendiary origin.
The hop house waB the largest build
ing of its kind in the county, but for
tunately, there were no hops in it when
it burned, although Mr. Pope had a
large amount on band, which be had
stored in another building. We were
unable to learn whether or not there
was any insurance on the burned prop
erty. Varieties for the Home Fruit Garden
I am so often asked : "What are the
best varieties of apples?" "What are the
best strawberries to plant?" And ques
tions of like nature, that I will try -to
give a list, which I think will include
some of the best varieties that are hardy
and suited to bill land with a clay loam
soil similar to localities about Oregon
City.
This list is for home garden and or
chard :
I would suggest that trees and berries
always be planted in as long rows as
practicable; then also give them plenty
of room if possible ; give good care, which
means cultivate, ppray, prune and fer
tilize correctly.
The first two varieties mentioned un
der the different heads are my choice
for a email place, then add others as
space permitted-'
