Strawberries in the Willamette Valley.
Tuesday's Oregonian says: "The con
tinuous cool, showery weather is not
favorable to the early development of
strawberries-,' and many are anxiously
inquiring as to the prospects for the
strawberry crop this season.' A reporter
yesterday -met Mr. N. B. Harve, the
ft well-known grower of berries at Milwau
kee, who is inqlined to take rather a
gloomy v.ew of the situation. He says
that in not one of the 15 years he has
been . engaged in growing strawberries
have the vines or plants' looked so un
promising as at present. In fact, they
are not more than half an well grown as
is usual at this time of year, and where
he plants make a poor growth he says
there cannot be a big crop of berries.
He says the fruit will be 10 days later
than usual this year. Generally-speaking
he has commenced picking berries
for market from the 23th of May to the
1st of June, but he thinks it will be June
10th before, there will be any picking
done this: year, and then there will not
be over half a cropl

MORE COAL FOUND.
The Shaft at the Klectrlo Light
Sustains the Buchler FlDdi
A five-foot vein of coal was struck this
morning in the shaft at the Electric
Light Co., at a depth of forty feet. " Di
rectly above it was a formation of' soap
stone, and beneath it hard carbonated
rock. So far the measures tally exactly
with the formations at the Buchler
shaft. If they continue another layer of
coal will be found, forty feet beneath the
first layer and six feet below that a vein
of water. The two shafts . tallying so
closely, proves beyond doubt that vast
coal beds underlie The Dalles, and war
rants . the full investigation that will
now be made. From the two points the
dip of the vein can be ascertained, which
is now believed to be south and west.
The soapstone is of good quality and
valuable commercially in itself.
After the matter of leases is attended
to, justifying the prosecution of the
work and expenses of development work,
sufficient funds will be collected to sink
a shaft of the required wilth to get opt
the valuable coal - deposits. The first
vein of coal found is lignite and is of no
great value, but deeper down the veins
will improve, being more matured with
age. The best' specimen of coal ever
found in this vicinity 'was not over a
