There will be lots of fruit in
western Oregon this year, accord
ing to a concensus of opinion of a
number of well informed fruit
men.. Here is about how they out
line the prospects:
Prunes will be spotted. Some
places they are good, with a very
few extra good orchards, but in
general the crop is not a matter
for inordinate boast. Last year,
the lowland orchards of almost
every kind suffered the heaviest
from the winter and the spring
inclemency. This spring, however,
the lowlands seem t De the win
ners, at least, in this Immediate
section.
, Lowlands Pick Up.
The lower orchards, down in the
cold belt, were sluggish in start
ing, though they had taken no in.
jury from the winter. But the hill
orchards wakened too early, put
out their buds in the fatuous be
lief that spring was here to stay.
anad the rainy weather soaked
the blossoms until they couldn't
develop. So the hillside trees were
really the ones that were drowned
out. This is of course a general
statement, and is subject to ex
ceptions, but it is undoubtedly
true that the higher orchards will
suffer most.
Gooseberries will be a good
crop. There aren't many gooseber
ries in this section, and they are
not the most luscious fruit in the
woria, dui as a crop arc a suuu
as gold. v
Cherries Promise Well.
Cherries promise well. The ex
act yield is still a matter for con
jecture, but a good average crop
is now expected. The fruit is set
ting well on the trees, and with
favorable weather should make
good the brightest promise of the
Willamette valley as a cherry pro
ducer. Thirty clays niore and the
picking will commence.
Loganberries and blackberries
are looking extremely well. They
have made a vigorous growth and
many fields are being exception
ally well cultivated and cared for.
There was practically no freezlng
ntit lat winter. The vine condi
tions at the present time reflect
the year before, and the care given
then in 1920.

BEER CONFERENCE
CAUSES CLASH IN
HOUSE COMMITTEE
WASHINGTON, May 12. The days when the drys were
battling to bury John Barleycorn were reenacted today be
fore the house judiciary committee, except that a few friends
of John's family appeared to protest against Chairman Vol
stead's plan to cut off, even for medicial purposes, the heri
tage of beer.
"Duke" Hirschberg ! dead.
This simple announcement will
bring both surprise and regret
to a great many people.
At 7:30 yesterday morning
there passed from this life the
spirit of Adolph Hirschberg. 61
years old,. He had gone to the
Deaconess hospital only on Sat
in day last, with what seemed a
very severe cold, bordering on
pneumonia. He seemed much
better Wednesday, but apparently
some form of heart trouble de
veloped without warning and
ended his life.
"Duke" Hirschberg had been a
rtsident of Salem tor 25 years.
At first he worked with the hop
firms as a buyer and sampler, but
for the past 12 years he has been
the chief salesman for the cigar
store of Adolph Hrothers. In
this employment he had met
many thousands of men from all
over the state and coast, and If
he ever made an enemy his em
ployers never heard of It. Hut
he made many friends by his
quiet and unassuming and cordial
manner to all comers, strangers
as well as acquaintances.
"Duke" was never married. He
was a brother of ''Joe" Hirsch
berg; the Independence banker
and capitalist. He was a half
brother of Dr. Rosendorf of Port
land. He was born in Germany.
The body is at the Rigdon un
dertaking parlors. It will be
taken on the 10:15 Oregon Elec
tric train this forenoon to Albany.
J and the funeral will be at 2
o clock this atternoon trom r ort
miller's undertaking parlors, and
interment will be in the Jewish
cemetery there. '
