They are studying up their duties with the object of giving the fruit growers the best possible service and hope to show tbeadvantages of the associa tion to some extent this season. C. L. Bender writes from Portland of a serious time he has been having. An operation was' performed on his ear some three weeks ago. Three doctors did tho work and it was fear ed that he would not get up from the operating table, where he was kept for four hours, and eight hours under an anaesthetic. Mr. Bender thinks, however, he will prove "too tough" for the medics, and is rapidly re covering. He was at St. vincem a hospital two weeks Ho will require treatment for three or four weeks longer and then hopes to bo home. LEFT BIG FORTUNE. PORTLAND, March 20. R. R. Thompson, the pioneer steamboat man of Portland, who died in San Francisco last week, left a fortune es timated at $4,000,000. The nucleus of his fortune was acquired in oper ating the steamers owned by the Ore gon Steam Navigation Company, In which Mr. Thompson was the second largest stockholder, Captain J. C. Alnsworth, the president of the com pany, being tho largest. Mr. Thomp son's estate consists largely of San Francisco real estate, corporation and .bonds, 'and will ho divided among six children. "Something new" in either home or office furniture means no more room and no more use for tho "old things" the things that were serv ing 'you only the other day.

A HARD JOB IN BAD WEATHER Each Man, With His Feet and Legs Bare, Scrubs His Own Clothes and Gets Thorn Ready For Inspection. "Jimmy Legs" and the "Lucky Bag." Have ypu ever noticed how clean and well dressed a sailor lad looks, when on shore leave, how white his clothes look when you board tho, ship on vis iting days? But did you ever realize that he was his own washerman? With a shrill blast of his silver whis tle the chief boatswain's mate will pipe, "Scrub and wash clothes!" nr.d ecry man hurries to his bucket, gets his soiled clothes, salt water soap draws a bucket of briny or fresh a ter, as tho case may be, and begins his washing. Ho is generally bnrefootcd at this time, so that ho will not wet his shoes nnd stockings. Ho wears his trouscis very bell shaped at the bottom in order that he may rol them up over the knee. After scrubbing nnd rubbing his clothes until clean he turns them in side out nnd with "stops" procpeds to get them ready for hanging up.. These stops are short pieces of twine, twisted and with whipped ends, that bo uses in lieu of clothespins. They are fas tened in eyelets placed at the side seams and bottom of his shirts and the waistband of his trousers, np turns nil his washed clothes Inside out to prevent tho right side getting soiled. They aie then hung .on n lino which, says the Youth's Companion, is run from tho bow to, the topmast or upper top of a. fighting mast The well In formed man now usually' puts his clothes to soak the night before in a bucket half full of water into which ho has either sprinkled a handful of soap powder or a small piece of salt water soap. In the morning i a little rubbing and his clothes are.clpan and hung up, while the "landlubber" has Just begun. When they have been thoroughly dried, the chief boatswain again pipes, "Scrub nnd -wash clothes!" aid every man rushes for the clothesline to claim his own.. It he falls to secure them within a reasonable tjme, tho master at arms, or "Jimmy Legs," takes them down, and they go, into tho "lucky bag." Then the only (recourse the unlucky owner has Is to go to tho mast, or the "stick," as the court on board ship is commonly called, and pe tition the "first luff," or executive offi cer, to order them released. As a rule, Jimmy Legs, who has charge of the cleanliness of the decks, always has extra cleaning, , painting offender, to the secretary of tho ex and so forth In mind, nnd the man change, who shall, then send it to tba whose clothes get Into the lucky bag receives so many hours' extra duty as a gentle reminder to be morp careful In the future, nis nnme goes on Jim my Legs' time book, and when there Is any extra labor to be performed he is called upon to assist This Is usually the lot of the "lands man" who has not been aboard long enough to "learn the ropes." After they are taken from, the line the stops are taken out and tho clothes rolled in such a manner that jthey need no, ironing. These rolls aro .then tied at' each end with the stops and aro stowed away In the clothes bag. In this way all his clothes, both blue and white, are kept clean, and when Sun day morning comes and there is gen eral inspection on the quarter deck he has no fear of being reprimanded for having on a soiled uniform. The hardest things of a sailor's outfit to wash aro his blanket and hammock. The hammock forms part of his equip ment, but belongs to the ship. He Is, however, required to keep it clean. His mattress and blanket aro lashed Into tho hammock and stowed In the nettings or crates provided for that purpose. Every day a couple or more men are detailed, to stow them away and at night to break them out It is this handling so much that gets them fear fully dirty, especially while a ship is coaling. Wheu washing his hammock, a sailor lays it flat on the deck nnd uses a wire brush to get it clean, with the assistance of soap and lots of "el bow grease." In visiting a foreign port and before the ship has come to anchor it will be surrounded by "bumboats," generally bringing out washerwomen, who are usually upgrcsses and who clamor for any work In the laundry Une. They dot good work and chaige very little for it They always show their refer ences from tho last ship and always want a new one to add to their already long list It is In wot and Btormy weather that tho sailor has his own troubles trying to dry his clothes. Roun3 tho uptakes of the smokestack there is a drying room in which clothes may be hung, bqt as they grow yellowish when hung there often thio room is used as little as possible. In the newer men-of-war there are Installed washing qnd drying machines which greatly facilitate tho laundry Work, making it inexcusable for a sailor to have soiled clothes. This machine, which dries clothes by centrifugal motion, does tho work rap idly and well. These machines, which are being added fo all the notv ships, will in time do awaywith all handiwork. The old familiar sight of a Jong line of clothes strung- ram bow to masthead will no longer be seen, and1 the boat iwaln'n mate will forgot how to pipe, Scrutianfl, waan clothes!"
