That the Cali fornia Cured Fruit Association helped the Oregon prunegrowers to dispose of their crop at fair prices, becomes every day more apparent. TVhile California grow, ers have trouble in marketing their crop, the Oregon product has practically all been sold. On September 1 the California Association fixed Its prices at one-quarter of a cent above the highest expectations, and has stocd bv the prices. . It has been said from the firt, and appears to be true, tint the prices named were too high. Buyers looked outside tho asso. elation for goods, and this has helped the market ia this state, although Oregon prodrees a different class of fruit from that grown in California. "While the market in Oregon has been brisk and fruit has been disponed of rap!dly. the latent report from Californ'a says: "The prune market is exceedingly quiet; prices for outside prunes weak and tho demand light. There are six. or seven large packers and handlers of prunes out Side the association, and they are all very busy, packing, grading and filling order booked Pt from 2 to 3 per cent be low the lowest association price. Samples are in the hands of brokers represent ing hundred; of cars, which are being ofcml en this market way below, a5so elation prices. 2Cow, jmtil this ciass of business is over, and the outside prunes m-rkctcd. tho demand for association goods will not bo as. brisk as the insiders might wish. If the reports received from outs'de backers prove correct, there must be somo heavy holdings outside of the arsodatlon." IXTEnXATIOXAJj BOUNDARY 1,1X13.

Tho town of Whitney Is attracting gen eral Interest throughout Baker and Grant Counties. It Is already platted, subdivided and recorded. J. G. Reed and John Nichols, the bonds men of City Treasurer Rico of Lebanon, have made good the amount about ?5GQ which the treasurer had deposited "with the Lebanon Banking Company at the time of Its failure. Subscriptions of money have been taken to- be used for Improving the Arlington Condon road at the Crum bridge. Absut ?500 will bo necessary for the work, al-. most, half of which has been subscribed. The county will make up the remainder. An attempt is being made by the aid of local contribution and the promise of some help from Marion County, to- cut a ditch some 600 feet in length by TO feet In width, through a gravel bar imme diately east of the Santiam. bridge near Stayton in the old river channel. This is a last resort to convert a par.t of the water Into the old channel of the river, which Is now dry. There Is hope that fcy cutting this ditch a high water current will follow it beneath the bridge instead of through the lowland several hundred yards north of the structure. The Commissioners of Clatsop County ordered a boom stick placed to protect the Upper Necanlcum bridge and also one of the abutments repaired. The founda tion of this bridge is in very bad condi tion, and although it was constructed only about seven years 'ago, It will probably have to be rebuilt next year. An exam ination, of the O'Hanna bridge by the court showed that it was in much better condition than was expected. The found ation, which was constructed twelve years ago of fir cut during the Winter and cov ered with coal tar, i$ still sound. TO.

Killlmacue Lake, which will furnish the water supply, is situated In the moun tains about 25 miles northwest of Baker City. It covers about SO acres of ground. Little work will have to be don'e to In crease the lake's capacity. t Engineers estimate that an increased flow of at least 3000 inches, during the Irrigation season, can bo secured by" the construc tion of a bank at the outlet. This will make the total flow of the lake between 5000 and 6000 inches, or sufficient water to irrigate several thousand acres. The name of the corporation Is the Klllmacue Lake Reservoir & Rock Creek Irrigation Company. All the farmers in terested live between Baker City and North Powder, 17 miles to the north. Most of them are In the vicinity of Rock Creek, which enters the Powder River Valley about - half way between these points. In conducting the water from the lake, KUamacue and. Rock Creeks will be fol lowed until the land .to be Irrigated, Is reached. There various ditches will be employed to distribute the water to the premises of,.4he Inqorporaters," or such other., land-owners. as desire. , The project is the largest In Northeast ern Oregon.

He said today that he promised a month ajjo to mako a $300 loan for threo" years at 8 per cent, 'taking R3 securi ty a mortgage on land near' Corne lius. Mr. Burton has decided not to make the loan . until after election, and should Bryan be elected he will not. aqcent it. He says the mortgage notes call for principal and Interest to be paid In gold, and under a frco allver administration,' long before his mortgage would be due, there would be no gold in the country. 9e099999999099009iee cern was Incorporated, but had failed to do the required work within six months, allowing its title to lapse. There is no conflict between the old and the new organizations. It became evident to those holding land' In the valley that the former filing had been made, not with the purpose of beginning work, but to sell rights to some concern that might care to take up the project, else they would never have entered Into the un dertaking. Some very fine orchards are located In the district to be Irrigated by this ca nal. One man alone has 1500 fine bear ing trees, of all kinds. "Many other or chards are bearing, and grapes of -good quality are grown in several parts. Wheat Is produced almost without limit where ever water can be had. As high as 50 and 00 bushels per acre are often reported by framcrs. . Bariey and oats run still higher. If the irrigation enterprise Is a success. Rock Creek district will be one of the most favorable sites for flouring mills in Eastern Oregon. A mill with a dally capacity of 100 barrels was re cently constructed there and this, with one at North Powder, constitute, the only plants in Powder River Valley. LOGGING RAILROAD COMPLETED.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. Cases Froxa Multnomah County Be-, elslons Reversed. t SALEM. Oct. IS. The Supreme Court today decided two appeal cases, In both' of which the Judgment of the lower court was reversed. v 'The first case was .that of William Everett Boyd respondent, vs. the Port land General Electric Company, appellant. from Multnomah County. This was an action brought to recover damages, for pn injury' t6 "the "plaintiff from an electric light' wife. The plaintiff Is alleged to have been It years of age, and lived In Woodlawn, where tho accident happened on the morning of December 7, 1897. The cause was tried before a Jury in-Judge Shattuck".s court, and resulted In a-verdlct for $i00 In, favor o.f .plaintiff. This- sum waq reduced. to $2500 by .the, trial court, and'"' Judgment entered accordingly. The defendant appealed and secured a reversal of the declstort of" the -lower courtln "an" opinion written by Chief1 Justice R. S." Bean. It was urged that the defendant was-entitled -to reversal-of the- decision , on tho ground of Improper-language of. plaintiff's attorney in addressing the Jury, and also on account of improper In structions given by the Judge to the Jury. Tho Supreme Court holds that since the court instructed, the Jury to disregard the attorney's objectionable remarks, there was no reversible' error In that direction. It is held, however, that the court erred In instructing the Jury that tho electrlo company cannot plead want of sufficient assistance as an excuse for delay In tak ing care of a partloular wire in a subur ban part of the city when wires have been prostrated In numerous places, by reason of an unusual and unexpected storm. It is held that the question of neg ligence In this particular Is one that should be loft to tho Jury. r Louise Robertson, plaintiff and respond ent, vs. George F. Robertson, defendant, and tho Blake-McFall Company, garnishee and appellant, from Multnomah- County, John B. Cleland. Judge -reversed, and.. re manded; opinion by Wolverton, J. In this case plaintiff having recovered a Judgment against defendant Robertson, served garnishee process on appellant and. afterward had tho appellant cited to ap pear In court and answer certain alle gations and interrogatories touching its Indebtedness to Robertson. The plaintiff alleged that the Blake-McFall Company was indebted to defendant Robertson for services In an amount, unknown to plain tiff.. This was denied, and at the trial plaintiff called the company's bookkeeper to prove the employment of Robertson at $100 per month. The company then tried to show by cross-examination and by making the bookkeeper their own wit ness, that they had paid Robertson all that was owing to him, but this evidence wag rejected-on the ground that the 'com pany had not plead payment. The Supremo Court holds that this was error, and says: "The allegation which we are considering lmports..nothlng more than that the company on the date of the. levy was Indebted to the defendant Robertson There -aro no facts al leged or shown whereby the circum stances of such indebtedness could- be deduced as a conclusion of law; hence, the amount of the Indebtedness being the only fact alleged by'whlch It may be said to exist," it was traversable, and, being traversed, it was proper to show pay ment under the Issuen thus formulated to refute the fact of its existence," NORTHWEST DEAD- William L.

SANTO DOMINGO FINANCES. The Government Seeking a Loan In Thin Country. NEW YORK. Oct. 15. On a secret mis sion from Santo Domlnge there has ar rived, says the World, William Swift Wright, formerly of Logansport, Ind., now confidential adviser of President Jim Inez. Though Wright refuses to disclose the purpose of his visit to this country, it .is believed that Jlminez has sent him here to negotiate a loan sufficiently large to transfer the bonded indebtedness from Belgian to American creditors, having de cided on this course after a seven weeks' .tour of the republic, In which he found conditions most prosperous. Mr. Wright said that In 1803 Santo Do mingo owed the Belgian bondholders about J7,000,000, but that the Indebtedness has since grown to about $30,000,000. "The Santo Domingo Improvement Company," said Mr. Wright; "fbVmerly gave the government J80.000 a month on Its budget and applied the balance, less expenses, on the Interest of the Belgian bonds. The budget was not sufficient for the government's expenses and the reve nues were not sufficient for the debt. "Counsel for the Improvement Company In May made a new contract, by which the debt was continued for three years. Interest to be paid at 4 per cent, the Im provement company to make a tate ment of tho debt within six months, and differences to be arbitrated. "The six months expire this month and counsel hag just arrived in Santo Do mingo. Belgian bondholders have de manded a commission to adjust the debt." WILL SWING TO raftUY FIVE FORMER BRYAN STATES WliL CHANGE THEIR WAYS. . - Prediction Made by Carefnl Ob erver, Who Offers to Baclz Hla . Opinion by Even Bet. SALEM. Oct. 13. E. D. Thome, who travels, over a large portion of the West ern States In the interests of the Putnam Nail Company, of Boston, yestferday of fered at the Willamette Hotel In thia city to bet even money that the Statea of Kansas, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming: and South Dakota will go Republican In, the coming election. Mr. Thorne Is a, convert' to Republicanism. When asked whether he was offering to bet accordlns to his sentiments or according to his judg ment, Mr. Thorne said that he never puts up money to back his sentiments, and that his belief in the Republicans carrying these five states is based upon careful observation as he has traveled through them. He has formed his opinion after talking with men of all. political parties and who are engaged In various occtipations la the 3tates najned. All of these five str-tes went for Bryan In 1S9S by good majorities, excepting South Da kota and Wyoming. Mr. Thorne says that Bryan's chances for election have been greatly dimin ished by the well-known circumstance that a few years ago he was a man of small means, and that while standing as a candidate for President he has become wealthy. The common people, asserta Mr. Thorne, are coming to the conclusion, that Bryan's advocacy of the free coinage of silver has been in the Interests of the sliver mine-owners, and when they ob served the persistency with which he la bored for a silver plank In the Kansas City platform, going so fas as to say that tho Democrats must look elsewhere for a candidate If they refused to Incorporate such a plank In thb platform, they aro confirmed In the opinion that Bryan Is the special representative of the 3llver barons. "There Is n6thlng. however, that has hurt Mr. Bryan more than his inconsist ent position on the question of expan sion." continued Mr. Thorne. "The peo ple will not give their approval to hla action In first laboring for the ratifica tion of the treaty by which we acquired the Philippines and then refusing to abldo by tho natural consequences of that treaty." While trtveling through Idaho. Mr. Thorne met on several occasions a man engaged in peddling campaign buttons and other sm:tll notions. This man said th'it he was engaged in the same occupa tion and in the snrnf state In 1835. Four yenrs ago his sale- of Bryan buttons wore greatly Ir excess of his sales of McKlnley emblems, so when ho started out this year ho laid In a good supply of Demo cratic buttons. To Ms surprise . the de mand hod rhnntrort. and this year he has two calls for McKlnley buttons to one for Bryan. ThK Mr. Thorne thinks, is a strong Indication of tho change In po litical opinion In that state. Winter Mall Service to Alnakn. VICTORIA, B. C. Oct. 15.
