FRUIT DRYING.
Why would not the business of fruit
drying pay in The Dalles? An enter
prising fruit shipper in Walla Walla is
making arrangements for putting up an
vaporator that will have a. drying ca
pacity of four tons a day. Surely an
evaporator with a capacity suited to this
market would put money in the pocket
of the investor. It would prove a great
benefit to the peopMe by creating a
market for all kinds of fruit that can be
preserved by the drying. process. ' The
business of fruit raising is constantly in
creasing while the home market is lim
ited and many inferior qualities of fruit
that are allowed to go to waste, when
fruit products are abundant, could be
turned to profitable account by drying.
As it is, small orchardists, who' cannot
well afford to put up dryers of their own
and who have not good shipping facili
ties find little profit in fruit raising in a
year when fruit is abundant. A market
for dried frnit can always be found, at
alt seasons of the year and a fruit dryer
with sufficient capacity to dry all the
fruits that might be brought to it,' on
the shares or any other way, would keep
many a dollar at home that is now sent
abroad for dried fruit.
THE
WASCO INDEPENDENT
ACADEMY.
The catalogue of the Wasco Independ
ent. Academy and. State Normal, school
for 1891-92 is before us. A careful ex
amination shows that the various courses
are admirably adapted to the purpose
they are intended to serve-. One espec
ially pleasing feature is the fact that the
courses are not inflexible, but admit of
modification to adapt them to the needs
of individuals.. It is no longer judged
essential that all students pursue exactly
the same line of study in order to "be
come liberally educated. Minds vary,
and the studies which will train them
best, vary also. ,
. The normal course deserves more than
passing mention. Although the acad
emy was made a State Normal school
over two years ago, bnt little importance
has hitherto been attached to this branch
of its work. The- demand for trained
teachers in nil departments of school
work has been growing very rapidly of
. late. A suitable normal course, such as
is outlined in the catalogue, gives both
theoretical and practical training. The
state recognizes the merit of normal
work by giving to graduates of the nor
mal scnooi s certincates, good, tor six
Years in anv nart of the state, and often
honored to adjoining states. Another
excellent feature is tho provision for an
additional year's work in the different
courses. With the training of the mind
the development of true manhood and
womanhood goes hand in hand. The
discipline employed is such as to stimu
late troth and honor in all. On the
- whole it is safe to say that no better
school is to be found in the state. The
people of Eastern Oregon should give
it their unanimous support.
BRIEF STATE NEWS.
The town council of Prinejille has or
dered the residents of that town to dis
infect their dwellings, outhouses and
premises generally so as to ward off the
scourge of diphtheria, which has car
ried off a number of children in that
neighborhood.
The average weight of the salmon
caught for McGowan's cannery, in As
toria, - this season was twenty-four
pounds, ihe cannery paid $1 a piece
. for all salmon weighing twelve pounds
and upwards.. Anything under twelve
pounds went as half a salmon. ' '
Daniel Feister. one of the pioneers of
the state, of 1847, died Monday at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. W. C. Bar
ker, of Salem. He was 80 years old.
His wife survives him. He first settled
in Clackamas county, and has since
made his home in Josephine and Marion
counties. Mrs. R. Bates and D.. Feister
. are the other surviving children. .
The schooner Robert and Minnie, the
vessel that conveyed the arms and
. ammunition to the Chilian steamer Itata,
at San Diego, recently, is loading lum
ber at the Bav City mill, Coos bav
Captain T. O'Farrell is in charge, but
rather reticent in regard to the Itata
Affair. He is under $5000 bonds to ap-
pear before the authorities at San Diego
some time this month.
Henry Hall came to the city last even
ing, says the Baker City Blade, from
Westfall, Malheur county, with thebody
of hiswife, who died of typhoid fever.
He is accompanied by his wife's mother
and brothers and his little child. " Here
the body was embalmed, and they went
on to the Willamette valley, the former
home of Mrs. Hall, where the interment
will take place.
Mrs. Mary A. Price died at the home
of her daughter in Salem, on Sunday,
aged 47. She came with her family
across the plains to Oregon in 1852, and
in 1859 was married to R. P. Price in
Douglas county. In the spring of 1863
Mr. and Mrs. Price moved to Salem,
where they have made their home ever
since. She was the mother of six child
ren, two sons and four daughters, three
of the latter surviving her, Mrs. Sarah
Crowell and Mrs. Flora A. Rennie of
Salem, and Mrs. Mary E. Hales, of
Adams, Or. They were all present at
her last illness. She leaves a brother,
J. .C. Arnold, ot Pendleton.
General Personal Mention.
The' Prince of Wales is to make a trip
to the continent this month. Monte
Carlo is not included in the itinerary.
The last descendant, of the Maid of
Orleans, according to foreign papers.
died recently in France. He was an in
spector in the commissary department
of the army.
Henry Labouchere will visit this coun
try during the coming Indian summer.
The great English asserter and retracter
should have a hearty welcome from his
New York confreres.
The young king of Servia belongs to
the "infant phenomenon" class, (to use
an expression of the late lamented Mrs.
Crummies,) but it is cause for gratitude
that he has not yet taken to the stage or
concert platform. -
Major Rath bone, of Ohio, the new
fourth assistant postmaster-general, is
just 43 years old, and ia one of the most
experienced men in the service. . He is
a handsome fellow, a thirty-second de
gree Mason and a wide-awake business
man.
Governor Buchanan, of Tennessee, is
credited with being an affable, agreeable
statesman, who "is fond of a cigar,
enjoys a good joke and knows rye from
corn." He is a great favorite with farm
ers of his state, which may or may not
be due to his last named characteristic.
"Sunshine" Cox would have been a
more appropriate name for the eloquent
New Yorker, Clinton Lloyd thinks.' Mr.
Cox had a-difference of opinion with
Judge Pelham, of Georgia, in the forty-
third congress. They buried the hatchet
soon afterwards in "peach and honey"
so successfully that ' thereafter they
called each other "Peach" Pelham and
'Honey" Cox. .It was hard to Quarrel
with Cox.
Few Boston people , know who Daniel
S. Ford is, yet in reality he ia one of the
town's richest -men. He is the owner of
the Youth's Companion, the most pros
perous paper of its kind in the world,
and indulges in yacbta and fast horses,
and gives thousands of dollars to chari
ties, but socially he is a recluse, arid is
rarely seen except by a small circle of
acquaintances. Mr. Ford is 70 years
old and well preserved. He was a poor
printer when JN . tr. vv una founded , the
journal which Mr. Ford afterward built
up to greatness. V.
A Merry-Go-Round.
Our bad man thought sure something
queer would . happen to the Keating
Implement A. Machine Company, of
Dallas, when he learned that, besides
being a deacon in the church himself, C
A. Keating had induced Harry Keating
to join his flock and substitute white
paint for the carmine Harry had used so
lavishly on numerous, occasions. Since
Harry became catalogue editor of this
concern, which carries everything in
stock from a sucking pump to a mam
moth coal consuming engine, he has
advertised so extensively that when a
man wants anything, from a pension to
a car load of assorted implements and
machinery, he immediately writes to the
feating Implement & Machine Com
pany, Dalles, Tex., and is seldom disap
pointed in securing what he wants
However, F. Tate, of Fairfield, Tex., hit
Harry below the belt when he wrote for
a merry-go-round "with twelve or four
teen buggies no horses' Harry gave
it np in the following honest confession :
Replying to yours of June 14, 1 have
quit drinking and joined the Salvation
Army ; therefore, while I regret it very
much, I will be compelled to decline
your invitation for a ' merry-go-round
In my younger days and before the Texas
climate got in its work I would not
hesitate to get on a jag that would easily
enable me to go"-round '. with you in
twelve or fourteen buggies, with or with
out horses. I have" a lot of red paint
left overwhichl will donate, but can-
join you. l exas Jtarm and Kanch.

THE HOUSEHOLDER'S DIFFICULTY.
A Comparison of the OlU fVay nd the
New Way of Buying and Selling.
Any householder..: whose - happiness it
is to pay for the supplies of a family,
must be aware of the extreme difficulty
of getting with any certainty a steadily
good article of almost any sort. . It is
easier in the case of luxuries, for the
reason that for these the demand is more
limited, the number of purchasers small
er, the number of producers correspond
ingly small and the chance of tracking
bad work or untruthful statements great
er. But for the things which every one
must have, and which most must have
as cheap as may" be, buying is a lottery
with a miserable prevalence of blanks.
Yon can get virtuous butter for a dol
lar a pound, but the search for eatable
butter at forty cents a pound is a weary
and depressing pursuit. It is the same
with the innumerable articles of cloth
ing and materials of clothing. From
the hat that grows gray in a month's
service to the shoe soles that will not
stand a day's rough tramping, the things
that are turned out in large quantities
for "the million" are not trustworthy.
1 think the chief reason is that in our
complex and widely ramified system of
exchanges the producer and the con
sumer rarely come into direct relation
with each other. The' former rarely
knows, and still , more rarely cares, fdr
the opinion the latter may have of him,
of his methods, his character and, his
goods. The seller deals today with one
set of buyers, tomorrow with another,
and so on, and the buyers change their
places of purchase with the greatest fre
quency. The relation indicated by the old fash
ioned words "custom" and "customer"
is dying out, and with it the possibility
of accountability and the hope of profit
able honesty. The type of modern re
tail dealing Is that most abominable de
vice the "bargain counter," where cheap
ness, real or imagined, is the main thing
considered. Scribner's.
A. Blissful Ignorance.
Nature, has evidently done wisely in
hiding tomorrow behind an impenetrable
night. What a dismal plight it would
be for Flora to foresee Reginald s angry
impatience and possible profanity in the
sudden May day . shower, and so for an
incident which has not yet occurred to
feel that she must give him the mitten!
We can hear the poor girl sobbing, "Reg
inald, I love thee, but never more be
suitor- of mine." But why, in the sum
mer moonlight, as they loiter by the sea
and breathe the lover's vow, should they
listen for the laugh of fate? Why, be
cause of that nnf alien shower of May
upon furniture yet. nnstuffed, should
they, lose the hour which, whatever be
tides, will be theirs forever? Why should
Flora know Reginald except as time
gradually reveals him?
Would you have her see today the thin
white hair on the shining dome that
shall tomorrow renlace this brown lux
uriance of curls? Would yon have her
agnast untimely at mat ponderous torm
which shall hereafter supersede this
slight and elastic figure? Would it be
better for her or for him if she could hear
the sharp, impatient word that from
those tender lips she never yet has heard?
Who . knows? Perhaps that she has
never suspected the possibility or that
Sharp word may make it impossible.
Who knows? Perhaps when May day
moving comes there - may be no sudden
shower. George William Curtis in Har
per's.
A Has Turtle. .
About two miles below the junction.
in this county, can be found a deep hole
of water in Current river, in which a
large turtle, measuring about four feet
across thetack, has been seen at differ
ent times for the last fifty years. Various
plans have been devised and put into
execution to capture the tortoise, but np
to the present time to no avail, as he
seems to be proof against spikes, spears.
gigs, gunpowder and dynamite.
A few days since a hunter residing in
that neighborhood, while passing along
near the river bank, espied his turtleship
basking in the sunshine on the root of a
large oak. Quickly bringing his Win
chester to his shoulder (a 48-caliber) he
fired, the ball striking the monster fairly
between the eyes. But judge of his
chagrin and surprise when the turtle, in
stead of tumbling over dead, quietly let
go his hold and swam away as placidly
and unconcerned as if he had been
thumped by a graveL ....
Upon examination the hunter found
that the ball, after striking the turtle,
had glanced upward and imbedded itself
in the body of the oak to a depth of six
inches. It is supposed that the monster
shellfish made his way up from the Mis
sissippi river in the great freshet in the
spring of 1841. Eminence (Mo.) Current

It is recorded of the young beauty that
the Prince of Wales, one evening during
a performance of "Romeo and Juliet,
sent one of his aides-de-camp to inform
her that he was coming to visit her in
her loge to congratulate her on her bril
liant success. "Many thanks to his royal
highness for his kind intentions," was
the reply of Miss Eames, "but I never
receive calls from gentlemen in my
dressing room. If the prince and princess
will "permit me, 1 shall be happy to come
to . the royal box and pay my respects to
them instead." - -;
This spirited yet courteous response
was reported to the Prince of Wales, and,
in consequence,' he has taken ' a great
fancy to the young vocalist, who is to be
the prima donna at the private concert
which the prince and princess will give
at Marlborough House. Cor. Pittsburg

Milton Moshier, of Shelton, Conn.,

cat prancing up and down on the key
board, seemingly delighted at the sounds
