Rev. and Mrs. Hocking have return edj from Silverton where they have been visiting their daughter. reports have been published in the county papers from time to time re garding the fruit situation sine the cold, fretting weather, last winter, and very many are optimistic over the probable yield of different fruits . this season. But there Is no use deny ing the facts in tha case. Losses are .heavy and growers of authority In the vicinity of Silverton are frank to sy that all varieties of fruit have suffered from the cold, and the los ses to the country in general cannot be estimated in dollars and cents at this time. All throuKh. this once wealthy fruit action losses are enormous, accord ing to growers Interviewed tills week while touring the county, and where bushels were grown last year single fruits will be produced during the summer of 120.

Completion of the plans for the enlargement of the local unit of the Puyallup and Sum ner Fruit Cannery and Immediate commencement of the work were an nounced Saturday by W. R. Scott, lo cal manager, following his return to this vicinity. This orchard Is sit uated, on high grounds and protected by hilis and forest. But even here the damage is enormous, and few peaches will appear this season. Many trees are said to have been ruined entirely and of those not killed few If any will bear fruit. Some of the trees that seem to have life now may die later in the season. Details of the plans were consummat ed while the men were In Portland, owing to the fact that Mr. I'aulhu mus was summarily called home on business. A warehouse, 106x64 feet, two stor ies high, running north and south along the Hill street line of the prop erty, will be built, adjoining the pres ent structure, forming a L shape com- Walnuts are said to have been al- Dlvted building.

"We will not have a peach on the place," aid Mr. Bock, when asked what he thought of the outlook. Most of the old trees have been ulned and the or chard will bear nothing this year This seems 4o e the case all thru the Mission Bottoms and other fruit ections of the valley. In the prune sections of th ..mm. ty damage Is heavy, but the prune orchards fbr the most part seem to sui.erea me least of any kind or fruits. The loganberry yards In the vicinity of Silverton will bear .less Mian a third of a crop. rr. Keene Is among the large growers here and In but yard It Is found that much dam age has been done. While many grow era In Oregon are trying to view the situation from an optimlstlo stand Wit, the fact remains that the fruit crop this year will be a failure. erty preparatory to Its erection is to be started at once. Plans for the building are now being prepared by the company's architect at the home office, and advertisement for bids will be made in the near future.

Under tho old contract the mill company was sup posed to furnish power to the full ca pacity of the plants. This was suffi cient at one time, and served the pur pose for years, but now the time has come when tho ptulit seems Inadequate and the mayor and council nwjm to work out a plan at an early date which will materially relieve th condition. Jefferson Woman Observes Birthday Jefferson, Or., Apr, 19 No birthday party was ever given in this city with more universal pleasure than the func tion held a few days ago in honor of the seventy-seventh birthday anniver sary of Mrs. Lnngsworth, tt highly es teemed pinner of Jefferson. While It was not an elabprato affair, It Interest ed many cltlsens and friends of the good lady, and during the day sho was the recipient of many presents and birthday greetings. Steps are being taken at The Dalles to Interest sawmill operators and furni ture manufacturers In the timber re sources of the county. Better Roads One of County's Greatest Needs Newspapers throughout the state have unanimously declared that there is no subject of deeper practical Im portance and Interest ta the farmers, merchants and business men in gen eral than that of good roads, but In some localities the suggestions have dropped upon a deaf ear. With all due credit to the men who have built up the agricultural section of Oregon, it must be admitted that the roads they laid out, and over which they travel today, have not improved In keeping with the progress of the state in other directions. And it must also be admitted that in some sections of Marion county there have never been good roads but about the worst stretch of county roads that the public has to travel today la between the state re form school and Stayton, by way of Turner and Aumsville. Everyone knows this road; everyone knows It Is bad. And tourists keep as far away from It as possible. The loss resulting to the communities adjacent to the highway mentioned cannot be estimat ed from a standpoint of dollars and cents. Silverton, ML Angel an other towns off of the Pacific highway have com plained bitterly over the conditions of the roads, but they are now above the average throughout the county. Few people who have undertaken to drive a car over the roud between Salem and Stayton or Salem and Dallas, will fail to vote for the 4 per cent road tux when it Is thoroughly understood. Tourists who are looking for a pleas ure drive off the paved portion of the highway, will find the Ankeny hill road out of Salem among the best It is a self evident fact that in sec tions possessing good roads there is a greater business activity than in one where no pains are taken to smooth down the Inequality of surface. Good roads will pay from almost any stand point. They will pay in satisfaction. They will pay In a saving on vehicles and a saving of time. It has ben tried out In many cases and in no one In stance has it failed. Besides, people owning land lying contluguous to the paved roads on the Pacific and Colum bia highways find that It has material ly advanced In valuation. The same results can be expected In all Oregon when paved roads are built according to the program of the state highway, and not until.. of Linn Called Albany, April 19. Mrs. W. B.

Anrll t9 From arhnr estrt be learned of the difficulty between me cimner workers and the Silver Falls Timber Co, which resulted In a walk out nearly three weeks ago, nothing has been accomplished by the strikers and the mill company has lost little time by reason of the re-' fusal to work until the union men discharged wers reinstated.
