M. William son of the chamber of commerce. The crops on the whole are fair and the quality of most of the fruit is excellent, while prices promise to be good. The apple crop. Mr. Williamson says, will probably be somewhat smaller than was expected, but it will be of better quality. At Hood River the crop will Neil's island to serve two ye.irs in the federal prison for having duped Mrs. Jostphine Dabney into giving him Jfino on promise of marriage and then run ning away, l.tttcll was arrested at San Frsnifo last May, a year after he had decamped leaving Mrs. i'abney waiting at the churoli.

Hp was cut short by the court with. "Twoj years, and you deserve more." falling off In amount from the cron of last year. Prune crop reports are not very fa vorable. The prunes continue to drop In nearly all localities, and the harvest will probably be trnt over half a normal or. .p. Prices, however, promise to be very satisfactory. The pear crop f,,r the state, while somewhat spotted, will be about the Mme as last year. Oregon Is fortunate In that ti e dreaded pear blight, which has worked such havoc n California and other states, has done little dam age here. Although It has appeared In some localities weather conditions do not appear to he favorable for its rapid spread. Mr. O'Gara. a pear blight ex pert of the department of agriculture, was In Oregon a few weeks ago looking for blight, and he reported that it had not appeared In the Willamette valley, though the disease was present to some extent in tho eastern part of the state The peach crop is rather spotted, hut on the whole fairly satisfactory. Peaches, however, are not reckoned a commercial crop In Oregon, about tho only shipments being to eastern Mon tana and cities of Washington.

Two hold bad riata men of Portland off from Front street on an outing Sat urday afternoon had an exciting fishing trip down the Columbia. The fishermen are E. J Farrell and Eddie Richards. They tell the story. Their veracity has hitherto been undisputed. About 6 o'clock the fishing fleet at Taylor's Sands saw a small boat cut ting through the water at a rate which caused tho belief at first that it was a racing motor craft. As the boat shot past, however, no evidence of gasoline or electricity could be discerned and as tonishment reigned. In tho boat two wildly gesticulating mariners pulled and tugged while tho craft swayed from side to side on its llghtntng-llke voyage, A lasso attached to a small black object In front seemed to generate the power. Suddenly the boat stopped. The motor had dived. The men on the end of the riata dived likewise. One of them came up and caught the boat. The rope had caught luckily on a thwart I The second man, by this time, had risen to the surface but was having a hard time to stay on top. Just as he was about to give up and go down for the last time something black flipped past. lie grubbed a pair of wet and bllppery flippers. Holding desperately to these Kddle Richards, for It was Ed die, took the fastest water trip of his life. In five minutes the flippers which were attached to a frightened young seal had landed him on a sand bar, landed the boat and 'Mr. Farrel likewise. Then the seal sat down to rest. He was still attached to the riata. Val iantly the passengers wound the rope tight and last around their captive nnd preserver ns well and the aeal Is today flipping about In a big drygoods box at a down town market. This is a true story. If you don't bolieve it ask Mr. Farrell or Mr. Rich ards. If that doesn't satisfy you ask any of tho H00 passengers on the Spen cer which brought the seal to Portland Sunday afternoon.

(United Prase Leased Wire.) Tokio, Aug. 11. At a meeting of the parliament today the progressive party introduced a bill providing for an In crease of tha Toklo exhibition appropria tion to 116,000,000. This means an ad dition of 110,000,000 to tha fund of J5. 000,000 already provided. The bill Is popular and In line with the policy of the progressives, who are determined to make the exhibition the most successful world's fair ever held. Tho fact that it Is the first time an at tempt has been made to hold such a fair In the orient compels the provision of a large sum of money to Insure its suc cess. The interest shown by other nation In both the eastern ami western hemi spheres, by appointing commissioners and arranging to be well represented, has given continual encouragement to the promoters and it Is generally be lleved that the bill introduced today wll' be passed.
