Prospects are that the River strawberries will this season ex ceed in quantity any previous yield. It is stated on reliable authority that the output will be thirty carloads this year. From the Moeier section and the coun try around The Dalles, all in Wasco county, como like encouraging reports. As a matter of fact the strawberry crop has never failed. The only exception to a full crop was last year when some pe culiar atmospheric condition caused the blossoms of one or two days to blight; but as the strawberry vine's ..i r.. l . ; i.i : i for about thirty days, the loss was noyyeentat,;ve appreciable. tsWasco county strawberries, better known as Hood River strawberries, have now a national reputation. They are known as superlatively "good shippers and are by far the handsomest berry in the market. Tney are of uniformly large size, heart-shaped, beautifully col ored, and possess a delicacy of flavor un equalled by any other variety. In the Denver market last, year they never fell below $4 a crate, extending to the close of the season, and the first brought as high as $12 in Portland, a market right at our 4 doors. At the same time Hood River berries were quoted $4, Missouri berries were rated at $3, and California $1.50, though the California crate contains only two-thirds as much fruit. The berry crop -brings in more money every year ttian any otner pnduct cotempora- neous with its season. The cherry and early peach crop do not equal it, nor do eaily vegetables. Any man possessing two or three acres of ground and a flame over it is independent, if he but engage in the strawberry business, for he can clear 15 cents a pound on an average throughout the season, and each acre ia capable of yielding, under the best con ditions 6,000 pounds, or a net profit of $900. , j , erson and Hugh Chrisman, clerks. , Third ward J.

The audience who' saw "For Revenue Only" last night listened to a produc tion totally unlike anything they ever saw before. It has an individuality of its own and .ia totally dissimilar to anything else.

Quad, etc., and a host of lesser lights who have inhabited every city of America in the half century past. They are a race of philosophers, not men of the study, but possessing a large and varied stock of general information gained chiefly' from their characteristic habit of itineracy good writers, pleas ant conversationalists, always good com pany in any stratum of society in which they may be placed. 'Sufficient for the day" is their only care; the future con cerns them but little. Milton NobleB reflected their disposition last mebt when, as a salaried newspaper man in the banker's niece gold piece as a wild animal, which we pursue relent lessly, and having captured it devour instantly." "For Revenue Only" is a high-class comedy, natural, real and may easily have been constructed from personal ex periences, which it nndonbtedly bas been. The eligh't plot pissessed by the play is woven about a political campaign and its necessary incidental, a news paper office. The leading character is an editor, who guides the des tinies of the campaign. Resourceful and with great tact he apparently harmonizes every conflicting element. This be does in a variety of ways. He makes the woman suffragist love him, the Prohibi tionist drnnk, the. Populist expose his ignorance, makes the laboring man an elaborate promise, and tempts another with the glitter of a high office. His only failure is with the Democrat,' for whenever the Irishman's political re vulsion was threatened be braced him self with the emphatic etatement "I am a Dimocrat," and in that frame of mind it was dangerous to molest him. The finale results in an overwhe ming de feat, but the newspaper man is com pen sated, by gaining the desire of bis heart, the possession of a domestic emolument that outweighs every other considera tion, and the love scene between Milton and Dullie Nobles was a very pretty bit of acting. The support was all first-class. Mr. and Mrs. Nobles have surrounded them selves with a company of rare artists, and the cast is what is known in thea trical narlanna na at.pllAt-nr all ntarn. Frank Fttch play has its special scenery. That lor'-Ihe Phoenix" tonight is the moBt elaborate of all. Pretty hooqnets were presented the leading ladies last night by enthusiastic admirers. The following telegram was received by Mr. Sinnott last night. It is very plain and easily understood, requiring little comment at our hands. We desire to note while passing that it is a post election promise, which entitles it to greater weight than anything received prior to election day, and therefore proves the sincerity of the work of the Oregon delegation ia congress all along: Washington, D.
