Tills is only a circumstance, how

they could be scooptd up by the

Wn am reminded of an amusing Inci
dent that those toads were the cause of
twelve years ago: Trout horn relloau
bay were considered by every one as
being superior to auv In the country,
and were very rare upon the Ashland
marktt. A box of Link river toads
were shipped to Jes.e I louk, proprietor
of the Ashland hoi. I, marked "Pelican

A BURGLARY
$74 Stolen from C. L. Winter. The

IaJly Guard, Auguat 7.
Eugene Is acquiring a suerlluous
element of that class of people who
never work, but who can constantly
I) aeeu on the streets at almost any
hour of thai day or night, and who al
ways go well dressed and usually have
nleuty of mouey, though they never
seem to work any. As a matter of
parallel value It Is more noticeable
that another class, known very well
by the name of light fingered gentry,
la also becoming more numerous.
Home of these gentry are becoming
quite smooiu at me wora auu carry
out their plans with the tact and s no
cess of professionals. A theft of this
kind was commitieu euuraunjr

that the robbery was committed by
local talent and wished to keep the

A full eors of noted Instructors have

and help roll up the desired attend
ance. A suitable program will be prepared
and sent out In due time. Come, and

WHAT DOES THIS 11EAS?
Can the Mutter of Cultivating Fruit
Trees be Overdone.
The only full crop of fruit to be
found on tho Umpqua river this sea
son, so a resident of that section says,
Is on the orchard of Mr E Weaver,
whose place Is lust below Myrtle creek.
For some reason, he neglected to prune
orcultivato his orchard for twoyeais,
and now he has a tine crop of fruit,
while his neighbors, who pruned aud
cultivated, have no fruit at all. An
other somewhat similar case is re
ported from near Eola, Polk county.
J W West, a Clatsop county dairyman
has a fruit ranch near Kola, and
through Bomo misunderstanding in
regard to boundaries, when setting out
bis orchard, he got one row of silver
prune trees on another man's land.
When the boundary question was set
tled, he had to move his fence, and
left his row of trees outside. These
trees have not beeu cultivated ol lute,
and th's year they are loaded with
fruit, while Mr West's orchard, which
has been pruned and cultivated, bears
no fruit at all. These two eases are
giving food for thought to many or
chardlsts, who begin to think that the
cultivating and stimulating business
can be overdone. It has beeu said
by some that If the trees are too high
ly cultivated, they would blossom too
early, ond then comes n frost a nip
ping frost and everybody knows the
couseqiicuces.
