the government officials are Bald to

If you give a truer a ropr ilm's :.jwur..,
i will Boon coma to grief.
For years It has been tho practice
here and elsewhere for soma dealers
to substitute eastern cold storage eggn
' for freshly-laid local mor. ihub .u
tainlng a much higher price than would
have been secured were Hie eggs eold
under their proper name. Or lale a
number of cars of eastern eggs have
arrived In thin city anfl nowhere ca:i
the supplies be purchased as such. East
ern eggB that were purchased at the
. tart of the season can be profitably
old here at 20c a doien even thus
early In the season but If they can be
old as strictly fresh local stock and
the price cut a fraction under what
local stock Is really bringing In the
mraket. the margin of profit will be
that much greater.
Jt Is not only contrary to law for a
dealer to sell eastern eggs as OregoT
production but cold storage stock must
not be sold as the freshly-laid artlcie.
When Storage Eggs Are Beat.
However, the freshly-laid egg is not
always bust as reijards quality and
wer the sellers of storage stock to
tell the plain truth regarding tneir
product during the proper season they
would really obtain more money than
- If they" sold them as newly-laid. Dur
ing the heated month July and Aug
ustthe freshly-laid egg is generally
of poor quality and rapidly deteriorates.
Then the egg that has been several
months in storage Is best , and If this
was properly explained to the trade a
better value would be received. The
eggs now coming to market are gen
erally of poor quality and they are al
ways of this quality at this period of
the year whether they are laid in Ore
gon or in the east. There is absolutely
. no difference in this regard.
In the east the, best hotels and con
sumers always pay a slight premium
for best quality storage eggs at this
time of the year because of the better
quality. When they were put Into
storage the quality was at Its best and
the small length of time they have
remained there has scarcely affected
them.

vicinity is fine, particularly the

is not in such heavy clusters It ls so
well distributed about the trees that
the crop Ib about up to last year's pro
duction. The quality is first class.
Milton, Or., July 17. The prospects
for all late fruits were never better
than they are at this time In this vicin
ity. Raspberries and blackberries are

This Is a very busy time about Free
water, many of the growers are busy
in their fruit, and the grain harvest Is
now at its height. Everybody seems to
ue busy.
Milton. Or.. July 17. Harvest ls now
going on In all directions. So far there
are fairly good yields, going from 25 to
so bushels to the acre, which is a slight
decrease from last year's harvest. The
quality of wheat is good, and with the
present prices maintained farmers will
lose nothing on the present crop,

Gold Beach. Or.. July 17. Berrying
parties are the order or the day in tnis
county at present. J ne wild strawDer
ries are auout gone, but blackberries
and thlmbleberrles are ripening and In
the meantime there are the wild salmon
berries loads of them. The bushes are
unusually heavily loaded.
La Grande. Or.. July 17. The gather
ing of the cherry crop In the Grand
Runde valley will begin Monday. The
rains have been beneficial to the crop,
and the yield of cherries It ls estimated
will now exceed by at least 25 per cent
the former figures. A couple of weeks
ago the yield of the Cove district was
placed at 140 tons, and now it is put
at over 180 tons. The Cove will pro
duce more than one-half of the output
or tne valley.
. .
Burns. Or.. July 17. The harvesting
or wild nay lias commenced In the
county and the crop ls very short. not
more than half what It was last year.
Stockmen will be In poor shape for
feed for their stock if the winter proves
to be a long one. Last winter was
very mild and not very much snow
fell In the mountains, which caused a
shortage In the water supply and al
most a failure In our hay crop. The
hot weather has greatly damaged the
grain crop and in some localities where
good crops of grain have been raised,
this year the production will be al
most a failure. Fall grain has done
well but very little of It was put In.
Most of the new land broke up this
spnnR nnd put in grain n,is producer)
small crcips which goes to prove that
diy SHKebrush IhikI will have to be
brought under cultivation at least one
year before the owner can expect to
get a crop. The best crop that can
tie produced on newly-plowed ground Is
rye, which ls almost sure to produce
a -r ip or nay wnicn is better ror stock
than wild fodder. Rye. when ripe,
makes good feed for chickens and hosrs,
so fiat a new settler need not be with
out feed for his stock until lie is able
to raise other grain.

University of Oregon Eugene. July 17.
"Bohemia Sharp, the discoverer of
the Bohemia mining district, waa here
this morning In the company of two
rflen who purport 'to be Chicago capital
ists, showing samples from nls fluor
soar mine on Sharn creek in the Bo
hemia district No definite propositions
were given out. Sharp claims he has
the only large body of fluor-spar in the
United States, and that there Is no pro
ducing mine In this country. He says
that all the fluoric acid, which is pro
duced from fluor ore. Is Imported from
France. ThU acid is used in the gal
vanising of Iron, In making granite
ware and for other purposes. The old
miner aava the largest portion of the
ledge ls on his 40acre rancn.
A local .company Is reported to have
offered 10,000 for the property. Other
parties are also said to have their eyes
on it. enarp saia mat attempts wouu
be made to operate some of the mines
In the Bohemia district soon, as the
smelter at Tacoma had orrered conces
sion which with those recently granted
bv the railroads, will save the mine
owners nearly 320 a ton on their ore.
Apparently believing that the charge
of assault and battery brought against
William Werley by his wife was that
of wlfe-bcntlng, Municipal Judge Van
ante gave Werley, a colored man 20
yeara old. a sentence of six months In
the county jail today.
Werley shed tear a when he heard the
Judge's words, but It appears that he
will nover serve out the term, aa the
amended statutea provide that In an as
sault and batlery case in a Justice court,
such as the police court is when hear
ing such state cases, the penalty for
assault and buttery shall bo a fine of
from 35 to 360.
The colored man testified that his
wife, nlno colored and somewhat older,
had bitten nnd cut him. She is employed
in a Flanders street restaurant, while
the husband has been working on the
east side. She swore that Werley had
struck her. ,
a The evidence was contradictory, and
at times laughable. The wife evidently
regretted making complaint when the
sentence was Imposed, and hastened to
comfort her husband. - Attorney Mo
Cants Stewart filed notice of an appeal,
nnd after looking up the statute will
begin habeas corpus proceedings If the
sentence Is not set aside.
exhaustive, Judge I R. Webater for the
defense proceeding very carefully In nls
search for' btaa in the mind a of the
prospective Jurora. Moat of thoae who
have been excused have been allowed to
fo on peremptory challenge Issued by

A surprise waa sprung yesterday aft
ernoon when It waa announced by the
court that thoae men who had been
called to the bog would be kept together
under the charge of the court offlolala
pending their acceptance or rejection
aa Jurora. The order waa made upon
the request of the attorneys for the
government.
Judging from the progress made It
will be noon tomorrow before the 11
men have- been finally selected. It la
