OF WARMTH AND SUNSHINE
PUT SWEETNESS IN LATE FRUIT
The last few days of warm weather
have accomplished great good for the
prune growers and made it possible to
would have beenrlpe in a few days had
the warm weather continued.
The semi-annual meeting of the state
board of horticulture will be held Mon
day, October 14. At that time an esti
mate of the value of Oregon fruit mar
keted In this state during the 1907 sea
son. Including all kinds of fruit, will
be made. The report Is In the course
of preparation now by H. M. Williamson,
secretary of the board, and Wilbur K.
Neweli, state horticulturist
Members of the Oregon state board
take exception to the figures given out
by th Washington officials regarding
the valuation of the marketed fruit crop
in that state during the last year. The
figures state that 72,000,000 crates of
dry much more of the big
crop grown this year than could other
wise have been saved. Earlv cold weath
er stopped ripening and it was feared
a large part of the prunes could not bo
garnered. Now, however, but 10 days
remain until the last of the prunes will
be in the dryers and the crops in the
lowlands have already been pretty well
gathered.
The prune crop has been larger than
In other years and the fruit has also
been of an especially fine quality. Ri
pening has been slow and drying nec
essarily slow on that account.
Grapes are ripening fast and gather
ing sweetness from the sunshine and
the crop promises to be the best in
rears. At present only Concords are
ready for the market, but the others
small rrult alone
that the total fruit
will approach $20,000,000.- Secretary
Williamson characterizes these figures
as an effort to boost something after
the Seattle methods.
This Is as much aa Mr. Townsend
would say in regard to his work for
publication, but it IS believed that he
and Mr. McBlalr nave about completed
their Investigation and have determined
upon a course of action which they will
ftwmmend tha govarament t pursue
In prosecuting the railway company. All
doubt as to the government's intention
to take action against the Southern Pa
cific was dissipated weeks ago by the
energetic manner in which Mr. Town

work. .

It Is believed that sufficient evidence
has been secured by the officials to
make a complete case against the rail
road. The manner in which to compel
the company to hand back the lands
which were granted in 1870, or to com
pel It to turn them over to settlers at
$2.50 an acre. Is the question which has
vexed the legal department of the government.
That Mr. Townsend
nave solved the problem is believed to
be true, but neither will divulge the
course to be followed by the government.
It is certain, however, that it will not
be along the plan adopted by A. W. Laf
ferty. who brought a suit against the
company to compel It to sell part of Its
grant to John L. Snyder, an actual set
tler on 160 acres In Columbia county.
Since coming to Portland Mr. Town
send has refused to discuss his work
for publication and stated this morning
that there Is too much money Involved
ror a nasty determination of the rov
ernment's action in its controversy with
the company.
In connection with the Southern Pa

Francisco commenced war on several
months ago in the Interest of 100 clients.
Mr. Mlnot has practically turned over
his case to Mr. Townsend and has aided
the government in securing evidence
against the owners of the wagon road

the rate of. $2.60 an acre.
