Free water.. April 25. Thirty thous
and dollars worth of strawberries
are now in full bloom in the Milton
and Freewater fruit district. It is
estimated that the first berries will
ripen this year by May 10. a week
earlier than usual, and by May 15 the
entire district will be In the height
of the berry harvest, which will end
by June 20.
X. W. Mumford, the genial man
ager of the Walla Walla Produce
company, estimates that there are
now 100 acres In strawberries In the
Freewater district, and that the
acreage is Increasing at the rate of
L'5 per cent annually.
The Hood River strawberry, which
Is now the leading variety grown in
this district, yields an average of 150
crates per acre, and sells at an aver
age of $2.50 per crate. Other varle
ties yield more berries, but they sell
for but half the price paid for the
Hood River be, y.
The average yield from strawber
ry land in the district is $300 per
acre per year and the strawberry
tracts average from one to five acres
in area. This land Is worth from
$100 to $150 per acre In the raw-
state, while under cultivation it is
sold readily atfrom $250 to $500 per
acre, according to improvements and
other conditions.
The fruit commission companies of
Milton . and Freewater have long
made a practice of paying a fancy
price for the first crate of ripe ber
ries brought In each year, and thi
season $1 awaits the man who will
bring the first crate of ripened ber
ries to town. ,
During the berry harvest here more
than 1000 people are employed in
picking berries. Large numbers
people come from distant parts of the
country and camp here during the
entire berry harvest.
The price paid for picking is
cents per crate and from four
eight crates per day can be picked by
an average picker. Help is now bein
employed for the picking season audi
from the present prospect it will be
scarce.
Milton and Freewater berries are
marketed iir every town in the North
west, very few long distance ship
ments in carload lots being made,
however.
Three large fruit commission firms
handle the output here: the Walla
Walla Produce company, the Shields
Fruit company, and the Fruitgrowers'
Union; and the call for berries Is so
brisk that often the entire capacity of
the three companies is taxed to sup
ply the market.
One thing that Is needed here more
than any other public improvement
now. is an outlet to the.W. & C. K.
or Northern Pacific lines, by which
fruit could be sent direct to the Sound
and other Washington points with
out a transfer at Walla Walla.
An electric line is now projected
from Freewater to Wallula, to give
this district such an outlet and there
is a strong belief here that It will be
built.
The box and crate making Indus
try, Is one of the chief branches of
the fruit business. It Is estimated
that 1,000,000 of the small berry
boxes and 30,000 crates will be used
this season in the berry harvest.
One man can make 6000 of the
small boxes per day and the crates,
Including the 24 small boxes with
each, now sell for 20 cents per crate.
In addition to the yield of berries
each year there Is, another income
from strawberry land, in the sale of
young plants. The strawberry plant,
In order to be made most productive,
must be reset every third year, and
last fall Mr. Mumford realized $120
per acre from the sale of young
plants for resetting. Others enjoy
the same Income and thus the profit
in well kept strawberry land Is not
confined to the berry crops alone.
This entire district Is now one
snowy stretch of bloom. Apple,
peach, pear, cherry and plum orch
ards are In full bloom. The air is
fragrant with the delicate mingling
perfumes and the roads and fence
corners are flecked with the falling
petals everywhere.
There is no more beautiful spot In
Oregon than Milton. Water has
transformed It. The silvery thread of
the irrigating ditch is the vital spark
that has made the once forbidding
gravel tracts, now dreams of beauty
and splendor.
Morally the town Is a model. For
18 years no saloon has opened Its
doors to the public In Milton. Schools
have flourished. Business has multi
plied. Good people have centered
here to make their homes; the city
owns an electric light plant, the
streets and homes are attractive and
well kept and there Is little for the
lone policeman to do.
Salem Woolen Mills Have No Inten
tion of Removing.
C. P. Bishop, of the Salem Woolen
Mills company, denies the truth of the
story sent out from Walla Walla that
his company proposes erecting a fae-
ory In that city, says the Salem
Statesman.
The story of the new mill appeared
n an evening paper published In
Portland and stated that "Bishop &
Gerry, proprietors of the mills nt
Salem," were considering the propo
sition of building in the Washington
city. Yesterday Mr. Bishop said he
ot only had no Intention if building
factories there, but that he did not
even know such a man as "Gerry,"
and that it had been over 15 years
nee he had been In Walla Walla.
The only excuse for the story was that
some time ago Mr. Bishop receiped a
communication from a Walla Walla
eal estate man who Informed him
that he had an excellent piece of
property that would make an excel
lent mill site.
It is the Intention of the mill peo
ple to continue to do business at the
old stand, Salem being quite good
enough for them.

REFERENDUM HURTS.
isephine County Complains of Ac
Hon of the Law.
The operations of the referendum
law are not too satisfactory to some
of thf. Josephine county officers at
the present time, says the Rogue Riv
er Courier. Since the appropriations
bill was held up by the referendum
recently filed at Salem, the sheriffs
and ether officers who convey crim
inals or Insane persons to Salem are
obliged to defray the expenses of the
trip with their own funds.
All they can secure In the way of
reimbursement from the state is a
sort of certificate or due bill which
bears no Interest and which, if the
holder must absolutely raise money
on it. may possibly bg cashed by some
banker or speculator at a discount of
15 per cent.
In the meantime funds of the state,
destined for this purpose, are lying
idle. This condition of things will
continue until the next regular elec
tlon in June, 1906. Then If the ob
structing movement is upheld In the
election there will be no relief until
the next legislative session.

PEOPLE IN EAST PENDLETON.
Larger Engines Needed.
Ow-g to the Increasing, traff!'
over the Spckane-Pendleton branch
of the o. K. & N., it Is possible that
larger passenger engines will be put
In service between Pendleton and
Stubui-k. The present 80 class en
gines cannot handle an extra coach
ov?r the Liue mountain hill, and it
is (iiiiie proloble that another coach
will be added to the train soon' to ac
commodate the Increasing travel. It
Is' thought the 146 class of engines,
now in freight service out of Star
buck may replace the 80 class on the
run. The 146 class could handle two
extra coaches with ease.
Arranging for Conductors.
Conductors H. C. Grady and Frank
O'Har of the La Grande division,
passed down over the O. R. & N. to
Portland last evening, to be present
at a meeting of the committee on ar
rangements of Portland, to assist In
making preparations lo entertain
grand lodge of conductors, which
meets there on May 9. The special
train of conductors coming west over
the Harriman lines will pass here
Monday morning, May 8, Instead of
on May 7, as announced. The party
will eat breakfast in La Grande. Ar
rangements will be made to feed 450.
They will stop two hours for breakfast.
1525 East of Main and South of Court
Streets.
Fifteen hundred and twenty-five
people reside in East Pendleton. As
sessor Strain has finished taking the
census In that portion of the city,
with the above result. The district
Included In East Pendleton precinct
is all of the city east of Main street
and south of Court street It will be
several weeks yet before tlfi entire
enumeration of the city Is completed,
as Assessor Strain Is doing his work
here entirely alone.
County Bridge Needed.
The people who trade at Milton
and reside north In the farming and
fruit districts are agitating for a
county bridge over the Walla Walla
river, at the ford near Ira Berry's
place, and known as the Berry ford.
The residents of that section who
cross the river at this point declare
that the ford is unsafe and that In
the past several people have been
drowned In attempting to cross In
the spring, when water is high.
Sent line JJull to Baker.
W., S. Goodman, owner of the fa
mous Hudson Bay stock farm and a
