FRUIT GROWERS SMILE OVER
BIG RETURNS FROM ORCHARDS
If the fruit crops of Oregon Are not
record-breakere this year In slue, It Is
at least probable the returns from them
will be very satisfactory to the fruit
growers, according to the statement
made this morning by H. 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

Prune crop reports are not very fa

In nearly all localities, and the harvest
will probably be trnt over half a normal

very satisfactory.
The pear crop f,,r the state, while
somewhat spotted, will be about the

In that ti e dreaded pear blight, which
has worked such havoc n California
and other states, has done little dam

some localities weather conditions do

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

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
