nro being put into wheat nnd oats vory
rapidly.
Wc lmvo heard somo rumors of dam-
ngo from frost on lowor lando, nnd tlicro
was a rumor that Southern Oregon hnd
lost n great deal of fruit by rather sharp
frosts occurring in this month, but this
is donicd nnd wo shnll hopo for heavy
fruit crops from nil, sections of tho coun
try. Our own exporionco looks that wny
nnd wo bcliovo tlicro lias never boon so
much fruit marketed hcrutoforo in any
singlo year as will bo sold tho present
yonr. Wo lmvo over C000 plums, penr
nnd cherry trees londod witli promiso
nnd tho snmo must bo tho condition of
other soctions. Fruit will Boon figure
up n largor profit to Oregon farmers
than wheat. Our own orchard costs us
not over ono-tenth of its probnblo in
cotno to pay for taking caro of it where
us wheat loaves only n small surplus of
actual profit nnd takes ten acros to re-
nlizo what fruit should yield for one.
What Congress Old.
In San Francisco on tho 25th tho
whont mnrket wns excited nnd prices
wore nB high ns $1.00 per contnl. for tho
8onnon. Thoro wnB also nnimation in

or Tuesdays as herctolorc.
It is intimated thnt tho British Gov
ernment would not pormit Canada to
enter into rolutioiiH of froo trndo with
tho United States. Hesistnnco on tho
part of Great Hritain to nuy enlarge
mont of tho area of commercial free
dom would bo a violation of it own
principles and policy. Moreover, when
tho pooplo of tho Unitod States nnd
Canada shnll want reciprocnl frco trndo

Arbor day Is a good institution.
THE LONQ HAUL QUESTION.
Sunday tuainh will bo run on tho
O. it C. 11. It. Co.'d lino from Ashland
to Portland, on nnd after May 1U This
will bo quite an Important and valuable
change for the Willamette valloy. This
will involve a change in the running
time As for instance, the trains that
uro at present tormod mail trains will
hereafter run (between Albany and
Portland) nt about tho usual tinio that
tho present express train does, and the
Albany express train will run between
Kugeno and Portland instead of Leban
on and I'oitland on about the time of
the proKout mail train. Another good
featuie of this change is that it will en-
abb us to reach our renders better who
live in the northern part of the county,
especially lluttoville, Chamoeg, St.
I'iuiI, and Firlleld. It will also place
our papor in subscribers hands earlier
nil up and down the valloy.
Tho Intor-Stnto CommiBslon has
wisely suspended, for sovcnty-llvo dnys,
tho action of tho law ns to tho long
hauls on tho Pacific railroads, nnd wo
sea it stated that tho old rales will im
mediately bo restored on nil tho trans
continental ionics. This is n consum
mation devoutly to bo wished. Tho
railroads havo played their bluff gamo
and had their fun, or whatever they call
it, and now wo shall get back to first
principles. Tho pooplo of Oregon havo
had a chanco to learn that they wcro
having very low rntcs for overland
freights, and tho railroads havo been
taught by tho action of Congress that
thoy .aro to bo hold under reasonable re
straint.
Much complaint has boon mndo thnt
tho law was a mistake If no clauso
had been contained within the Intor
Stnto Act to allow of suspending action
at tho will of the Commissioners, it
would havo been a serious mistako, but
it was well guarded and contained
claiiBOB to roctify orrors, if thoy wcro
found to exist, and ns thoy nro found
nnd tho action to suspond tho act is
enforced, wo aro all right. Tho pooplo
will loso nothing by this act and its re
sults must lmvo it beneficial effect. Cor
porations aro amonaulo to law, ami no
blufling on their part will succcd In hav
ing tho law rcpoalod, though it will no
doubt bo amended to suit tho circum
stances developed and tho needs of tho'
country.

A friond writes from Linn county late
ly : "I send you two Backs of jwtatoes
King of the Karlles, and a few llurlmnk
mixed with thorn. 1'otutGoa uru rather
ccarce up heto and I thought perhaps
they were with you, so I send them as a
birth-day present." Tho remombruueo
wan welcome, and so were the ttotatoos,
as we wanted a fow good ones to plant.
Tho King o( the Karlies is a smooth,
Bomewhat Hut in shajxi and no deep
cavities, as many varieties havo. Most
of tho eyes are at the food end, o wo
could Have two-thirds to eat and have
enough to plant gouud to mice all we
need. We happened to have a fow
empty rows In tho nurtory, laud heavily
manured, so we hope to rsio a fow nice

membrance relishes as well us tho King

This has been a remarkably fuvorablo
eoason for fall sowing of wheat and from

LINN COUNTY COUNCIL.
Mr. "William M. 1'owors, of Shcdd,
writes: ".Mrs. Towers nnd myself at
tended tho Council at Hnrrisburg, nnd
found qulto a largo number present.
I.UUO county had delegates present, ns
that county has a representation. The
members elected to tho Stato Graugo
from Linn county tho present year, to
meet in Salem tho lust of May, wero
illiam Gyrus and wife, N. Taino ami
wife, J. Davis and wife, a good solection
from I.inu.
'Tho weather keeps so stormy that
thoro has been very littlo spring grain
sown up to this tinio (April 17). When
tho weather clears up, it will go in with
a rush. Full sown grain looks bettor
with us than at any time for years past.
Wheat ot Shodd is 72 cts., at Albany 77
cts. Why such a diU'orcnco? Noxt year
wo all propose to haul our wheat to tho
Oregon l'ncitlo Hnilrond, or to tho river.
Tho farmers have been cinched by put
ting their wheat on tho O. it O. road fer
the lust time. If wo can't got within
1J cts. of tho Albany price, we will haul
to the river nnd trust to steamboats com
peting for business.
The railroad company agreed Isst
summer to protect the warehouseman
at Shedd if ho would keep wheat from
going to tho river, and then went back
on their contract, and that is what
wo complain of."
This lettor should havo opjeared Inst
week, but Mr. Clarke was hard at work
nt the fruit farm, anil it got overlooked.
Wo shnll try to put in an appearance at
Shedd during the summor, or after fruit
harvest is over, which lasts with us until
October 1.

Fruit In Southern Oregon.
About ten days ago tho Albany (Linn
county) Herald published a statement,
upon tho authority of Bomcono who had
been in Southern Oregon, that tho fruit
crop had been about all killed in this
valloy this spring, and tho pooplo wcro
greatly discouraged ; that intending set
tlers wero being frightenod awny, nnd
tho outlook hero is dark and dishearten
ing. After drawing as sombor n picturo
ns possiblo tho Herald Ingenuously re
marked that tho fruit prospect about
Albany was oxcollont and pcoplo look
ing for homes in a fruit bolt would do
well to stop thoro. Wo havo no objec
tion to the pcoplo of tho Willamotto ad
vortlsing their own country and saying
tho host thoy can of it. but wo do oblec',
to their reporting falso and injurious
statements nbout Southern Oregon in
order to boom Wcbfoot at our expense.
Tell tho truth about us, gontlomen, and
wo shall bo entirely satisfied. Indeed,
if you tell tho whota truth you will bo
doing ub a great service.
Up to this tinio thoro is promiso ot nn
abundant fruit crop in tho Ashland or
chardspoaches, prunes, plums, cherries,
apricota, pears, quinces, applos. Wo havo
had somo frosty weather this spring
not moro than in tho Willamette, how

apprehend will occur. Ashland Tidings.

A writer in the Xew England Farmer
says : "Ueans are vory prolillo nnd will
do well on a greater variety of soils than
almost anything else, Thoy will mako
as much of "half a chance," ns anything
thnt grows on n farm, weeds excepted.
Hut for all this it is not to bo supposed
that benns have no preference us to
whore they grow, or what treatment
thoy receive. On tho contrary thoy re
spond readily and abundantly to a fav
orite soil and good treatment. They
nerluDS do the ti.xirest of nnvwhoro on

one with literal fertilization and fre
