The Prune Industry.
A dispatch from Washington,
D. C, contains an acconat of
Prof. E. R. Lake's report to the
Department of Agriculture on
his return from his official jour
ney t Europe. He is -also
quoted on conditions of the prune
industry of the Northwest. We
print the following interesting
extract:
Prof. E. R. L,aka, of CorvalHs,
Oregon, left here last week for
his home. He spent the sum
mer in Germany, France and
Austria, investigating the ques
tion of prune culture under the
directiSn of the Department of
Agriculture, the object of his
visit being to secure varieties of
prunes for the Pacific Northwest
that could be grown with ' little
likelihood of injury frem tho
elements.
"The prune industry of the
Pacific Northwest," Mr. Lake
said before leaviag for 6b West,
'is tho foremost horticultural
.nterest of that part of the cun
try.. Indeed, the extent of the
industry, the aggregate of capl
tal and equipment necessary to
prepare and market the crop is
understood by but few people.
. While there has been many
acres of unprofitable orchards
destroyed during the past five
years, and more particularly the
past two, yet there are hundreds
of acres being set out at the
resent time. In fact the new
plantings of iqoo-iqoi will be
the largest since the 'boom' days
011890-91."
It is estimated by Mr. Lake
that the acreage of prunes in.the
above states is abont 50,000, and
this, together with the equip
meat, including evaporators,
paoking-houses, etc., is valued at
20,000,000. An "average nor
mal crop would be 75,000,000
poHhds or evaperated fruit.
Upon the basis of prices received
fr Ik crp this year, this would
yield an income f $3, 500.000,
It is evident from this that the
prase industry of the Pacific
Northwest is one of no little im
portaace to this comparatively
J . 1 t -r .
Tinaeveiopsa region, in me .mas
ter of saw varieties it i9 claimed
that th recent introductions,
providing they succeed, and fruit
with as relative an earliness as
la their native surroundings.
will be worth at least $500,000
per year to this section, in that
they will enable the growers to
. lengthen the season, f harvest

ing Dy at least 10 days, since
- these varieties appear to have all
tho desirable merits of he ones
grown at present, and ripen from
10 to 14 days earlier. -

December 26th, at the home
of Mrs. TohnsoH, the " bride'
grandmother, Miss L,ala Browa,
of Walls, and Mr. Harry Patter
son, of Red Bluff, - Calif., were
united in the bonds of holy mat
rimony, Rev. P. S. -Knijht offi
ciatinf. The. wedding was a most pleas
ing affair. As Miss Emma Mar
tin, of Portland, played a maroh,
the bride and groom appeared,
followed by tho bridesmaid, Miss
Ella Johnson, and best man, Mr.
R. Wilcox, of Red Blsff. They,
stood under an arch of ivy, dur
ing the performance of the cere
mony, after which all retired U
the dining room where a most
luxurious dinner was served.
Th bride was dressed la
white, while the bridesmaid were
white over blse. The hall and
table were beautifully decorated
with ivy and "Hewers Many
valuable presents were presented.
Those present were the bride's
mother, Mrs. E., Brown, her
brother, Onis Brown, Laura
Oauthorn, J Smith, Mr and Mrs
A Flickinger, Mr and Mrs L,
Fliekinger, Mr "and lira C Davis,
Thelta Rickard, Jamie Newton,
Mary Newtea and Ella Hite.
Miss. Brown is a well known
aad highly esteemed young- lady.

culture and influence both in
society and business.
After a short visit in Portland,

pleasures of a leng and happy

Value of a College.
The proposition of the M.
E.
South, CorvalHs conference to es-1
tablish a college in - this city is a
matter of great importance to the
ptople of Roseburg. It is under
stood that what is probably the
best natural site fur such a school
in Oregon can bd secured almost in
the city limits for little more than
$5,000, aad this amount the people
of this city will b asked to raise.
X he conference will then erect suit
able buildings at once, . aud estab
lish a School with complete college
ourrioulum, and with competent
teachers in every department. The
conference voted to expend $25,000,
and this amount will be raised as
fast as it can be collected within the
church.- High school?, and especi
ally those of college rank, are very
mportant factors m the growth of
cities now-a-days.' Parents uni
versally recognize the necessity of
educating their children, and pre
fer to reside in towns where the
school facilities are such that they
may have the highest educational
advantages without being absebt
from the home circle. A college
once located would induce many
people to locate here for the sake
of educating their families, and it
would Keep thousands of dollars of
Koseburg money at home that is
now spent for board and tuition . of
our young people in the college
towns of the state. Thus it would
be a financial benefit to the town,
aside from its elevating tendency
upon all grades of society .Review.
