mm From All Visitors. To our store, Saturday, we heard praises of Our Vantine Department What the "Deestrlck Bkole" Is. Owing to the rush, we were unable to give many as much attention as we wished, and hope to see them again, as we shall constantly replenish this stock. The new wares shown in this Department amply repay a visit to our store. All Goods Marked in plain figures. PEASE & MAYS.

Cantrell arrived with his big freight team yesterday, and will load with freight for Prineville merchants and return in a day or so. Mrs. Joseph Vierra heartily thanks her many friends for the kindness and sympathy in her loss of her brother and the assistance during his late illness. Many people yesterday went down to the Regulator store-house to see a ver itable curiosity. They were two turkeys of pure white, destined for Mt. Angel, and are worth $18. tising. Their curiously-worded display advertisement last week about the "Van tine" special sale resulted in a perfect jam at their store all Saturday afternoon and evening. Some of the characters in the ''Dees trick Skule" are the giggling girl, the crying girl, the good girl, the stuttering boy, the slow boy, and the mischevous boy. Ample field is given for the fun niest production ever given here for years, which will not suffer by compari son with "The Boarding School" of be witching, petite Minnie Palmer. R. D. Rinehart, the Canyon City or chardist, has loaded two freight teams with apples and started them toward The Dalles. If he does not find a market there he will ship to Portland. It seems like turning the tables when Eastern Oregon can ship fruit to the land of "big, red apples." Ochoco Review. The Roslyn bank robbers were be trayed by a girl, the sister-in-law of a man at whose home, in Coulee city, the conspiracy was hatched. Ray Chris tiansen is his name, the woman's being Miss Sarah Jane Morgan, a beautiful young woman of about 20 years of age, who lives in Salt Lake. She betrayed the robbers through revenge, but they have not yet been arrested, as the offi cers are after more evidence. The Fruit Growers. For the World's Fair. A man 61 years old, with a wheelbar row, arrived on the Regulator Saturday night, bound for the world's fair. He stated that he started from South Bend in the Gray's Harbor country, Washing ton. He wins $320 if he gets to Chicago by the first of September, and loses that amount if he fails. The effects trundled weigh 60 pounds. He was only allowed to start with $1.50 to pay for ferriage and medicine. He is to solicit meals, but is not to ask for them until the meal hour. He must take the name, address and former residence of all those who fur nish him with food. So far none has re fused him. This is a harmless vagary, and does not even have the merit of originality, but the stakes seem small for so great an amount of discomfort. To the Homeless. Emil Schanno returned Sunday morn ing from the meeting of the state horti cultural board at Eugene. There was a full attendance of professors and a good deal of information derived. Their next meeting of the horticultural society will be held at Salem in July. At the Eu gene meeting, of particular importance were the papers in regard to spraying and trimming fruit trees. Mr. Schanno advocated the lime, sulphur and salt re cipe as being cheap as well as effective, and quoted Prof. Riley in a letter to him as saying that it was the best re cipe, being generally used in California for a winter wash. The matter of prun ing is much abused, few understanding how to prune trees to obtain the best re sults. This matter was well presented, showing how proper pruning not only improves the condition of the fruit, but also prevented to a certain extent the ravages of the insect pests that are be coming so destructive in this country. The suggestions are that pruning be done so as to leave an open tree where the sunlight can obtain admittance without interference. Another matter that left a good im pression was the discussion of the sub ject of packing fruit. The speaker on this subject showed that many fruit raisers have lost a great deal by not sorting their fruit and by mixing their first grade fruit with the lower grades, thereby getting the market price for the lower grade when making a sale. The matter of sorting the fruit is a trifling one, but of great benefit to the growers when his fruit is placed in the market. Tho Condition South at Us. and IfEast Fifteen coils of wire reported by The Chronicle to be used for a telephone line between The Dalles and Prineville, are said by the Ochoco Review to be in tended for hop-growing. D. C. Herrin returned yesterday from La Grande. He exhibited to us today an electrotype of the Court house, photo engraved and mounted by himself, which is a fine piece of workmanship. 6. B. Adams left on the Regulator this morning, with a model of the Chrisman fruit dryer, for Willamette valley points. It is very likely he will have good suc cess in introducing it throughout the west, as the dryer is pronounced to be perfect by all those best informed. Mr. Thorburn, a well-to-do sheep raiser of Kingaley , of Scotch extraction, was asked how his sheep was coming out, wheii he made this extraordinary remark: "Oh, vera weel; I'll have fully a hundred per cent increase. There are three fours, seven threes, and God knows how many twos.'

R. 14 This land is surrounded with military, state and other unfenced land, on all of which is fine grazing, supplied with abundance of stock water. Much of this government land is good for agri culture and excellent for fruit raising and is close to market.

Sold by Snipes & Kinersly The "ekule" will be opened by Master Theophilas Grout, at Wingate Hall at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening, April 18th. The exercises will consist of a forenoon and afternoon session. During the fore noon the tedious ABC and primer classes will weary the audience by their failures to distinguish A from the top of a barn or separate I from U. The gog fry get lost in their longitude and can not tell whether it is hot or cold, while the grammar fail to recall, any idea of nouns and adjectives. The afternoon session will be filled with the closing exercises of the school, and will consist of examinations by the teacher and committee men, declama tions and compositions from which we nope the audience will gain some new ideas of "Kows," "Horses," "Boys" and the other profound and deep themes discussed. The instructive re marks of the committee man will be full of wise suggestions to our able board of public school directors. We hope every member of the board will be present. Among the names on the record we find Aleck Smart, Jerry Patterson ; Timothy Truck, Rev. W. C. Curtis; Mike O'Flynn, S. L.
