THE MORNING ASTOMAN, ASTORIA, OREGON., The Daily Market Report PORTLAND, July lO.-Ovcr half a crop of prune will be rained In the Northwest thin year, , In nplte of the rumor of un almoat total failure in the Splng. Dcalcri interested in thin product have been inveatlgating con dition! both' here and in Califonla and report a it ill better proopect for t crop in the southern portion of the l'acilic Coait. , ' What the prices are to be is a problem, as It i too early tg make any intelligent forecast. A heavy fruit crop Is promised in the Eastern staled, and thin alone will depress the I prices of dried prunes, which are now tmoted at 21 cents, sack basis, for the i!M crop. ' It is understood that n large proportion of the crop of -1907 ii still in the hands of the, growers of Oregon and Washington, although as high at 7 cents a pound was offer ed for the fruit 'previous to the panic of last October. Prices dropped last Fall and have not been able to re cover since. The crop of 1908 will , Xi coming in me inn wi jcjheiu- Cantaloupes are scarce as a result of no shipments being made early In the week from California and the fact that none are on the way.

Tom Harvard smiled. "Bbe" could be uono other than bis "picture girl," as be hud learned to call her, and ever since ho bad arrived at Olenoak, Harvard bad been lost In day dreams, lu which "the picture girl" was ever the central figure, . It was Harvard's first visit to the glugli-tou placo, named Clenoak, and for the first time he had seen the re sults of Mrs. Singleton's artistic skill with a camera. That hospitable matron bad more than a punning fad for photography and In a well equipped studio In the back yard bad turned out many prize winning pictures. The most success ful bad been of "the picture girl,", oth erwise Nannie Prescott, Mrs, Single ton's niece. It bad boon taken some years before and showed a child wltli a soul that shone through the thick lashed eyes. The small, sensitive tuouth, delicate molding of the chin, the perfect oval of the face and the high white brow all combined to uiuke a picture almost perfect, yet Harvard seemed to see only the eyes, with their Inscrutable ques tioning of the life Just beginning to un fold. Singleton bad surprised Harvard be fore the picture half a dozen times, and Harvard winced at tbe jests bis chum made about his Infatuation for the pbc tamnh. in Mr. Rlnfflrtnn'a un. surance that the orlriual now looked J of the picture did not abate his iutercst In tbe handsome carbon print j bM fond i , kW wcnt g, ,et . ... !1" chuckling over tbe fun ho antlcl - i rated havlnc. i station to meet Mhss Prescott and who "i ll have it barisr ik a jifft," t j OLAUKD IIABVABD. oase'y oeirayeu iiarvara s passion w , 'be 8,rl who 8uared h,s 8eat ,n tU8 J ulf,T1, ,, , C1 l t . v. rfvu, ur""""' ouifnivu, with brutal frankness; "It's the picture that he's in love with. I'll bet when he sees what a plump and husky person you've grown to be he'll decide to stick to the picture." . There was much more to tbe same effect, and so it came to pass that when the introduction was accom plished on the Singleton porch and Harvard guarded his expression from any betraying glance of gratification, Miss PreBcott decided that this man who loved her picture and was disap pointed in the original was a very un- pleasant person whose presence at 1 Glenoak would make her vucatlon a miserable one Indeed. j Mrs. Singleton endeavored .tactfully ! to counteract the effect of her son's disclosures, but Nannie resented even i this well meant effort. It was Intolera-1 w uer tuey huuuiu suiipose bub cared in the least what Mr. Harvard thought of her. If he was disappointed that tbe an gles of fourteen bad rounded into the curves of nineteen it was no concern f of hers, and to show how little she cared she devoted herself industriously to snubbing poor Harvard at every possible opportunity, ' . And Harvard, mnnllke, suffered keenly from tho treatment and went about saying savage things to and of Billy, and he looked no more than he could help either at the picture or Miss Prescott herself. So matters continued lor nearly a month, when a business letter gave Harvard a welcome excuse for quitting the field of defeat. He hnd longed to retire, but he would not retreat igno minlously and without excuse. He managed to slip away from the house without be.lng detected by .hls ! watchful chfnn nfld made his" way to ward a glen rroni which Olenoak took Its mime, He would have a farewell quiet hour. It was a favorite resort of his, and be climbed up the cool shades toward the falls, at the bead of the glen. He was nearly at the falls when a flutter of white caught bis eye. He balf turned to retrace bis steps, for be bnd recognized Nannie, and he was not minded to have bis last day of vaca tion made more bitter by the girl's sharp 'speeches. But as be turned she called his name, and be burried for ward. : ,-. ,., ..... "I'm sorry to bother you," she said, balf defiantly, half In appeal. "1 slip ped t on the wet rocks and I bave sprained my ankle." "How long have you been berer be demanded, "You were not at luncb." "It was hours ago," she said, with a wan little smile. "I came about 11, I guess, and It was not long after that I slipped." With a word of sympathy Harvard knelt to examine the injured member. Already the swelling was great, and the girl bad felt too faint to remove the stout shoe she wore. With tender hands Harvard cut the laces, and Nan nie gave a sign of relief as tbe shoe was slipped off. "I'll have It easier In a Jiffy," de clared Harvard, slipping off bis coat and with bis knife cutting out tbe sleeve of his shirt for a bandage. "A little cold water will help tbe fever un til we can get back to tbe bouse." "I suppose you'll have to go for belp," sbe said faintly. Tbe Idea of being left alone again terrified her. "Help! Not a bit of it," declared Harvard. "It's a abort mile to tbe house. I can carry you easily with an , "aB,onal Eren wIth 0,8 8t " lo "ougn 1 were b, to "6 bOUS for assistance." oui jo wm i wai k nv' remrao ain... i m w . x . m 1 Kannta w IsaDDle- Harvard looked up with audden In terest "And may I ask who told you tbatr he asked. "It was Billy," be added as ,k. m ji . thtogs like that" "I don t call tl that a little thing at 'fuiSSS1'' "' ' ne er saia it. i But vou frowned the mompnt -rou aaw me," reminded Nannie. "You did. because I was watching you." "Then it was a matter of Interest to yon what my opinion might be?" be asked. "I thought you had said, that ' you did not care." j "Billy told you tbatr she asked 'meaningly. Harvard nodded. J "You see," she went on, "that miser- able picture has been my Nemesis. I I was a little slip of a girl, and Just after Aunt Bess made that picture I j began to grow to stretch up and out,' , as Billy expressed it For the last four 1 years people have been commenting upon my changed appearance until I hare grown to loathe tbe very sight of the dreadful photograph." "Do you know," said Harvard re flectively, "I never noticed whether you were plump or Blender In the pic ture." "You must have," insisted Nannie. "Don't be afraid to confess. It's all ' right. I guess I'm getting hardened to ' comment" i "But I really didn't" insisted Har j vard. "1 saw only the eyes, with their 'glorious promise of womanhood. In : them I am not disappointed. For the ! rest I made no comparisons, and you are perfect as you are." The girl's eyes glowed with pleas ure, but her voice was cool and even as she spoke. Bllly 8ay8 lhat they are eye8(. are?.. "They are the most beautiful eyes In the world," declared Harvard fervent- j "iney are more oeauiinu man in the p,du,.e- Nannle dear cant we j Btop piayu,g at cross purposes? I loTed yo i even you. i ioved 'tne woman those eyes told me lyou would b6i but ty did not tell hnlf tiie truth. I don't care about the picture now but may I Dave the original, dear?' And so "the picture girl" was won. Our Oldest Permanent City. Albany, capital of the great Empire State, claims to be the oldest perma nent settlement within the limits of our thirteen colonies, but has greater i,iafnripni Hitrninennre on necoiint of Its strategto importance during the cen- tury of donfllct between the English and Frm:h ln Amerlca and in the American Revolution. In 1524 Ve razzan0 a French navigator, sailed up th(J Hudson, and about 1540 a French trading post was set up near the pres ent Bite of Albany. The continuous history of the place dates from the Aaonvarv nf Hu rpfflntlS' hv HeMV Hudaon lu 1609 wll0 was followed by Dutch traders, who in 1614 established a trading station on Castle island un der the name of Fort Nassau.
