This promises to be a good year for
the frultralscrs around Portland, and they
will make money. Thin seems to be the
opinion of those who have looked Into
the situation. II. J. Maroon, a fruit
grower of Gravel HIU, says that the area
planted with strawberries has been near
ly doubled, iid many old fields hwo
been renewed, which will como in this
year with nearly a full crop. Frultmen
at Mount Tabor and at Milwaukle all say
that there has been a large increase In
acreage in stnwberrifs and raspberries.
The plantH look good and promise a full
yield. A representative of an East Side
cannery says that the growers will re
ceive a good price for their berries this
year, owing to the increased population
of Portland and consequent increased de
mand. It is for this reison, he says,
that fruitgrowers have failed to organ
ize this year. They received top prices
for their fruit last year, and they think
they will get the same this yeir. not
withstanding the Increased acreage that
has been put In.
A representative of the Portland Can
ning Company has been interviewing
growers to secure large fruit contracts in
advance. The company wants 10O.CO0
pounds each of strawberries and rasp
terries. Growers who understand the
vltuatlon frankly ray that it will pjy the
frultmen to take care of the canneries
and see that they are supplied with fruit,
as there are sure to be times when there
wl!l be a large surplus on the market.
TWO SCHOOLS RELIEVED.
Old So. - ItnlltlliiK and Lee Chnpcl

The South Mount Tabor School and
patrons spent an Interesting afternoon
Friday. No regular programme had been
prepared, but a considerable number of

proposed now to show that recess was a
good thing, and Invited the patrons out

played with enthusiasm.
The old-time recess was enjoyed by all
who came, and they went away satisfied

over to the pupils to give vent to their
pent-up activities were a good thing.

of them. Remember, the sale continues but six
days more. Years of buiiding and bettering have
made this semiannual distribution of Kitchen

forward to it weeks in advance and remember it
gratefully after it has passed. All the Northwest

providing every article of kitchen need at prices
which are a rich reward so little pains on the part
of the purchaser. It would be an insult to your
faith in and knowledge of this store to suggest that

ways marked and sold as such. But we needn't
prate of our virtues. You know them. No pre
tensions at reprinting complete lists. Let one article
merely serve to suggest a dozen others Basement.
