worth of our Coffees, Teas,
Baking Powder, Extracts or
Spices, and we will give that boy
or girl their bunch of FIRE

"Two hundred thousand dollars
would. I believe, be a conservative es
timate of the amount of damage done
the fruit along the Columbia and
Snake rivers as far up as Asotin, and
In the Clearwater valley by the March
rrorts, and on account of this you
may expect to see fruit, and particu
larly peiches, advance 15 per cent In
prices." said William L. La Follette,
the extensive frultralser of Wawalaw,
to the Lewlston Trlbuno.
Mr. La Follette arrived In the city
yesterday from Oroflno, where he
concluded the purchase through the
chancery court of Xew Jersey, of a
100 horse-power holler formerl yown
ed by the Gold Creek Mining compa
ny, whleh has been In the hands of a
receiver for the pnst four years. Mr.
La Follette stotes that the boiler will
be used to furnish power to a pulso
meter pump which will Irrigate the
C50 acres he has In fruit trees.
By thU piece of machinery 1500 gal
lons of water can be lifted 75 feet
from the river every minute. It will
then be placed in a distributing reser
voir and 6000 feet of five and eight
Inch pipes will convey It by gravitation
to the orchards. Mr. La Follette es
timates that from all sources. Includ
ing springs, a small pump at pres
ent operating, and Wawawal creek.
1000 to 2500 gallons per minute will
jbe secured. This will furnish plenty
- UU1IMB lilts SU III THer
months.
May Increase Orchard.
The La Follette farm contains 1260
acres. Last year 7000 fruit trees were
pianted. and more will be planted this
year. Mr. La Follette stated that It
was quite likely that when the Rlparla
railroad was completed their orchard
would be Increased to 500 acres. This
orchard grows more peaches than all
the rest of the Snake river orchards
combined, states Mr. La Follette.
Only Half a Crop.
"We will be able to put out only
, half a crop, or 60 carloads of fruit
this year." continued Mr. La Follette.
"Our average output Is 100.000 boxes
: of fruit and we operate our own saw
I mill and box factory to supply our
; need". In the season we float down
the river an average of 250,000 feet
of logs. We do no commercial busi
ness whatever with our sawmill, but
j have assisted smaller growers when
their supply of boxes was short.
"As to the fruit production on our
ranch, I can only give approximate
figures relative to the yield In the
different kinds. Where last year our
cherry trees produced 10,000 boxes,
this year thtre will be less than 500.
We will market about 15,000 boxes of
peaches, which are from one-third to
one-fourth of a crop. There will be
about 20.000 boxes of prunes and
plums, a good average crop with the
exception of one or two varieties.

Summer apples will yield a fair crop,
poslbly 500 boxes. There will be a
fair crop of pears which should go
about 4500 boxes. The grape crop
will be a. good one and should yield
anywhere from 6000 to 10.000 boxes."
Market Peaches nt Home.
I look to see nearly all of the
peaches marketed In the Lewlston
country, but they will be high. Where
usually choice canning peaches have
been selling for "60 cents, this sum
mer they will command 75 cents. Of
course the inferior grades will be
cheaper and the extra choice higher.
Practically all of the Snake river
prunes and plums will be sold to east
ern houses and 90 per cent of the
pear rro pwfll go east. Yes, fruit will
be high, bnt nothing in proportion to
the damage fruitgrowers have suffered."
BAKER HAS A KICK.
Wool From Her Territory Going Out
of Oregon by "Way of The Dalles,
Advices received yesterday by the
Democrat state that the large wool
clip of Harney and Grant counties Is
already rapidly moving out of the
country, but not as formerly by way
of Baker City, says the Baker City
Democrat.
The Information adds that the prin
cipal reason y,hy the traffic has been
diverted Is that Shanlko, the terminus
of the Columbia Southern railway,
has been given the same rate as that
applied to The Dalles, of $1.40 per
hundred pounds to Boston, while the
rate from Baker City Is J2 per hund
red. It is understood that the Citlxens'
league will Investigate the question as
to why either The Dalles or Shanlko
should be given the advantage of 60
cents per hundred on wool to Boston
over Baker City, when the routing of
the wool Is made either by Hunting
ton or Spokane.
GETS RAILROAD PENSION.
L. G. Adulr of Eugene, Retired After
29 Years' Service.
L. G. Adair, who has been station
agent for the Southern Pacific com
pany In Eugene for 29 years, today
retired from the service of the com
pany, having been placed on the pen
sion list, says a Eugene dispatch to the
Sunday Journal. He began as station
agent here on September 1, 1877, and
has served faithfully continuously
since.
Mr. Adair Is 66 years old. He be
gan his rallroud career in 1863, in
the general freight office of the Ev-
ansvllle & Crawfordsvllle railroad at
Evansville, Ind. He was the first op
erator to catch the telegraphic report
of the assasslnutlon of President Lin
coln. In 1867 he left this line and took
a position at Richmond, Ind., with the
Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Louis rail
road, in which position he remained
until 1873 when he came west.
For Lutheran College
If the proper encouragement Is
given, the Lutherans will establish a
college In Walla Walla, says the Walla
Walla Statesman. The Washington
district of the church has written to
Secretary Baldwin, of the Walla Walla
Commercial club announcing that
Walla Walla has been selected by the
denomination as the place for the lo
cation of the school. The plan Is to
erect a building at first to cost about
(10,000, and as the conditions warrant
It to Increase the size and extent of
the college. The committee asks for
10 acres of land for a site and a bonus
of $7000. The matter will be taken
up at once by the Commercial club.

The Inventors have been working on

practical. Two stations have been set
up by them several blocks apart and
messages are sent with accuracy and
rapidity from one to the other. They
started In at first In sport, but as the

HUSTLERS ARE PLENTIFUL.
Union County Horseman Kays It Is Not
Safe to Turn Horses on the Range
Anymore.
"It Is simply unsafe to turn horses
on the range any more in eastern
Oregon, on account of the horse rus-
tlres," said David Couper, a well
known horseman of Union, who Is In
the city.
"Everybody In our part of the
state makes an effort to keep their
horses In pastures and then keep a
close watch on the pastures. The
rustlers drive them to Snake river and
horses disappear in a night, never to
be found again. It is thought the
rustlers drive them to Snake rive and
Into Idaho, from where they are
shipped east.
"It seems that the stockmen of
Union, Baker, Grant and Umatilla
county could form an organization
which would break up this gang of
thieves. Something must be done or
the stock business will have to be
abandoned In this territory."
The city council of Hood River has
raised the saloon license from $600 to
$1000. It is further proposed to
raise the license to $2000 and cut out
all saloons but two or three.

O. C. Aldrlch and Dr. Ira J. Sexton,
both of Chicago, arrived here last
night and this morning went to Mil
ton for the purpose of looking over
the fruit farms of that section. Both
gentlemen are members of a party of
eight which was brought west re
cently by Elmer Cleaver, formerly In
business here and now doing a brok
erage business In Chicago.
The members of the party were
made interested in Oregon by Mr.
Cleaver, and as a result the trip was
planned. They reached the state n
week or inore ago, and since that time
have been over Baker, Union and
Grant counties. The other members
of the party are now with Mr. Cleaver
In Union eounty, nnd will pass
through here tonight on their way to
Portland.
Mr. Aldrlch has been In business In
Chicago for many years, and is also
Interested In fruit lands In Michigan.
It is this class of real estate that he
has been looking at mainly while on
his present trip, and he expects to
make some investments before re
turning home.
Since he moved to Chicago Elmer
Cleaver has been an enthusiastic ad
vertiser of Oregon, nnd he has induc
ed many to come west and make In
vestments. However, both Messrs.
Aldrlch and Sexton say that he has
not exagrrcrated the opportunities of
this section for they believe that east
ern Oregon will show great develop
ment In the future.
After visiting at Milton today the
two men will return to Pendleton and
Join the others in the party which will
pas through here tonight.
Prominent Hot.injwt Here.
William C. Cuslck, the eminent bot

Further Subscriptions to Fourth of
July Are Expected,
Owing to lack of time the finance
committee for the Fourth of July
celebration was unable to see all of
the business and professional men who
desired to contribute to the fund. So
In order to allow others to contribute,
the subscription list has been left at
the Tallman drug store, and those
who have not subscribed are asked to
do so at once. As the committee has
incurred heavy expense In preparing
for the celebration, further subscrip
tions will be appreciated.
It Was Only Father.
A little boy played an "April Fool"
Joke on his mother that his fond
father scarcely appreciates. The new
and pretty servant girl was working In
the dining room, and the man of the
house had come In the rear door,
when the little son ran to his mother
and shouted: "Oh, Mamma, there's a
strange man in the dining room kiss
ing Minnie." The mother started for
the scene of ,war, when the boy con
tinued: "Oh. I April fooled you; It
wasn't a strange man nt all -it was
only papa who was kissing her."

Hack Smashed by Train Occiipiinls
ExciiihmI.
What might hnve been n very serl
out accident occurred nt Cayuse sev
eral days ago when three men In a
hitck were caught on the track by a
freight train. Those In the hack were
August Mesplle, who Is employed on
the Elmer Lowe ranch, and two other
ranch hands. They were driving a
team belonging to Mr. Lowe, and
while crossing the track a freight
train whistled close by. The horses
Instantly stopped and refused to pull
the hack off the track.
Realizing their danger all three
men Jumped from the rig Just In time.
The hack was smashed to pieces and
the ruins are still strewn along the
track. As the horses were off the
track at the time they were not hurt
and ran away immediately after the
accident.
One of the three men was hurt in
Jumping from the rig, but not seriously.

VISITED THE LAVA BEDS.
Judge Burnett of Kit Inn, Visits Scene
of Modoc MusHuerc
Last Friday evening Judge Burnett
of Salem, who has been holding court
here In the absence of Judge Benson,
left here in company with Captain O.
C. Applegate and Attorneys Mills and
Rutenlc for a visit to the luva beds,
historic since the Modoc war, says the
Klamath Falls Express.
He only had two days and a half to
give to the trip, and It reflects credit
on the local bar that they were able
to make arrangements on a few hours'
notice. The Judge and party went
from here t.i -Merrill by buggy, Mr.
Tedford rnkiiiR the run from here
to the landing III Whltelake. with his
gasoline launch In four and three
quarter hours, from where it was
transferred the sumo evening by
wagon In Lost river, at Morrill.
Early Saturday morning the party
started In the launch from Merrill,
arriving at the luva beds before 9 a.
m. The rest of the day, and half of
the next were spent In going over
Captain Jack's stroimhold. the scene
of the massacre of the peace, commis
sioners, etc.
A few relics were found, such as
empty cartridge shells, brass buttons,
etc., also a rattler with seven buttons.
Fortunately the rattlesnake was made
Innocuous before It could bite any
member of the party, since the usual
antidote for snnkc-blte had been en
tirely overlooked by the commissary.
Judge Burnett and party were deeply
Interested In the natural defenses of
the' stronghold, consisting of crevices
In the rock, caravans and boulders, to
which the combatants had added ar
tificial works in the nature of hun
dreds of small forts and stone breast
works. Captain Applegate, who is one of
the few survivors of the war, was able
to point out scenes of skirmishes and
locations of troops, spiced with per
sonal anecdotes.
