PORTLAND, July lO.-Ovcr half

product have been inveatlgating con

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

large proportion of the crop of -1907

of Oregon and Washington, although
as high at 7 cents a pound was offer

of last October. Prices dropped last

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. The last of

NANNIE'S
PICTURE.
By BAYARD TRUSTON.

Literary Trass.
"Bbe's coining tomorrow," announced
Billy Singleton. 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

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

"I don t call tl

i But vou frowned the mompnt -rou

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

loTed yo i even you. i
ioved 'tne woman those eyes told me

And so "the picture girl" was won.
Our Oldest Permanent City.
Albany, capital of the great Empire

nent settlement within the limits of
our thirteen colonies, but has greater

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

Dutch traders, who in 1614 established
a trading station on Castle island un
der the name of Fort Nassau. In 1064,
after the transfer of New Netherlands
to the English, the name of Albany
was given to the settlement in honor
of the Duke of York and Albany, aft- J

On lesser grounds than those of Art.
I hear
Your sneer, -
But why is not the wide, glad view
Of golden day, and action too,
More than the little canvassed
square ' ;
That mimicry of Nature there,
Viewed in the "stagnant gallery air?
Shall I not stay and let you go
To cast yourself before Corot, ,
And grovel low before Watteau??

Did not another Michael's prime?

Worth thousands is impressive? Well,
What sum did Boston give for Kcl?
Oft have I heard, as you, mayhap,
From all the stands the thunderous
clap,
And "Good boy, Kelly! tip your cap!"
Did ever public glad the soul
Of any saint in stock and stole
With "Hi yi! tip your aureole!"
