Professor B. B. McElroy, -who served three terms as StAte Superintendent of Public Instruction, is registered at the Imperial from Eugene. He is now large ly engaged in the cultivation of fruit, having orchards In Liane and Benton Counties, and he spoke very cheerfully last evening of the present condition of the fruit Industry In Oregon, as -well as of Ata future prospects. Xhe pruneraisers of Oregon have done very well this year," he Bald, "as the crop was by no means the failure ex pected last Spring, -and the prices were very remunerative. I have a great deal of faith in Winter apples, however, and am now engaged in planting a good many trees. The Oregon apple is becoming recognized as of superior flavor, and when the trees are cared for, the crop is always good. Many farmers In the Willamette Valley, however, neglect their apple orchards, and permit the fruit to lie on- the ground and rot. As a conse quence, 100,000 bushels of fine apples have been permitted to. go to .waste within quite a limited area of the Valley this PalL I notice that apples are on sale at the Portland groceries for $1 to $1 25 a box, and this price should certainly permit a goodly margin to be netted by the grower who cares for and packs his apples properly. "The farmers of the Valley are all prosperous this year, in spite of the light wheat crop. Hops have been of good yield, and the price paid was very en couraging to the grower, so with fair proflts derived from fruit, hops and live stock, the comparative failure of the wheat crop is not noticeable amid the general prosperity of the country. "Eugene and Ian County are dairy growing in population and wealth, and many newcomers from the East have recently purchased farms In the 'Valley, having been attracted hither by reports of rich soil and mild climate. One real estate man In Eugene sold four farms to Eastern parties within a short space of time last week, and the Inquiry keeps up. I look for quite a dense farming population in that portion of Oregon In the not distant future." Carlo-Hunters Invade Rural England London Express. "Nowadays there is scarcely a cottage too remote to be visited by the furniture col lectors. Most districts are scoured by the agents of the large furniture firms In Lon don, and the rural folk are beginning to understand the value of their old oak chairs .and grandfather clocks, and their boloved china handed down from genera tion to generation. On genuine old wil low pattern plates and dishes there is a groat run nowadays, and many a cottage dresser has been shorn of its glory in consequence. Still, some of the poor peo pleall honor to them cling to their old sticks and plates, and refuse to be tempt ed by the offers of the old curio-hunters. Relics of Irish. "La"ke Dvrellers. London Express. An Interesting relic of the. lake dwellera of Ireland has Just been added to the Science and Art Museum of Dublin, in the form of a crannog, or elevated dwelling. It -was discovered in a bog-filled lake near EnnlsWUen, and measures over 100 feet in diameter. On removing the peat, the piles of platform timbers were laid bare. The pileing and cross timbering were ad mirably .done, untrimmed ntrch trees be ing chiefly used for cross-laying, while oak was used for the stouter piles. A large quantity of broken pottery was found in it, besides an iron ax of an early form, a fragment of a comb and some bronze harp pegs.
