The council appointed a committee
to have this matter attended to and
as a result the roof of that building
has just been treated with a coat of
Ironclad Cement Paint. This ma
terial is highly recommended and is
much used in California, where it is
manufactured in San Francisco.

Manager French ef Benton coun
ty's exhibit for the state fair, is
quite anxious that the county be
well represented ia dried and can
ned fruits. Right now is the time
to collect these specimens. Benton
county is well supplied with dry
ers, and if each one will make a lit
tle effort and prepare a pound or
half-pound package of their prod
uct the result will be a highly cred
itable showing. If the fruit is neat
ly packed with a covering , of glass
over the box containing it, it
shows to good advantage and will
not be spoiled by handling. Con
tributions of oanned fruit, also, will
be thankfully received. If parties
will bring tfco fruit to Mr. French
as it comes from the tree, free from
bruises, he will be glad to can it
and prepare it for exhibition.
THE PRIME OUTLOOK.
All Indications Point to a Large Crop in
; Oregon, and an Excellent Price- .
The San Jose Mercury sets forth the
following conditions which in its estima
tion make it certain that a gosd price'
will be had for the new crop of prunes. ;
Its article is at loast worthy of consider
ation by prnn growers, and for that rea
son 'we give It space here: .
' During tho past week there has bren
abont 159 cars of prunes sold by tbe as
sociation on the throa and a quarter cent
basis, and tbev are going oat at the rate
of from twenty to thirty cars a day.
These all go into actual consumption, as
they are scattered nil over the country.
A rumer was set afloat a few days ago
that the association was geing to cut the
price to three cents, and this intelligence
ws telegraphed to eastern markets. It
had no real foundation, and ill effect
naturally was to bear the market so as to
enable the buyers who are out in the or
chards to get hold of tbe crop at less
than it ia north. Notice was given Tues
day that the price would be firmly held
at throe and a quarter cents, subject to
change without notice, which was a sug
gestion that at auy moment the price
might be raised to three and a half cents.
The figures (or tbe several day's sales
since the price was fixed show that some
twenty to twenty-five carloads are being
sold daily. If thia is continued it will
not take long to dispose of all fruit on
hand.
The oflkors of the association are very
anxious that growers shall cot ue in
duced by the efforts of buyers to bear the
market and sell their crop3 toe cheap.
They have taken a great deal of pains to
learn the exact situation, both as to tbe
probable demand in tbe East and the
size of tho coming crop. They are told
that the new crop can be marketed easily
on a faur cent basis by seme of the best
posted fruit men in the East, those whose
interest would be best served by naming
a low figure, since they will be buyers.
Advices from France are to the effect that
the orop there will will be very much
smaller than last year and that the ex
port demand for prunes from this coun
try to Europe will be much larger than
last year. German buyers are already
here looking for fruit, which i something
new in the business.
The crop of Califernia has been care
fully estimated. Experts have been
sent into every orchard in the state and
have made a careful estimate of its out
put. These estimates have been tabula
ted and show a total of 55,000,000 pounds
with ten per ' cent added, for safoty.
Based upan this the association will be
on the safe side by calculating the State
crop at 60,000,000 pounds. Last year
the State crop was 140,000,000 pounds.
The falling off is ehiefly in Santa Clara
county, which last year had 100,000,000
pounds and thif year will have but 25,
000,000. The crop of Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho is estimated variously be
tween 30)000 000 and 40,000,000 pounds.
Taking the maximum in both cases, this
would give a new crop of but 100,000,000.
The carry over .is iadefinate. . Last year
it was about 15,000,000 pounds, but this
year it will probably be larger. The as
sociation now has about 35,000,000 on
hand, but the daily sales are lowering
thia amonnt rnpidly.and it w onld he safe
to estimate the carryover to be disposed
of when the new crop cornea in at 25,000,
000, making a total of 125,000,000 to be
disposed of as against 185,000,0i)0 last
season. .
This of itself gives ample justification
for a belief in high prices for the coming
crop, but the best foandation for such a
belief exists in the condition Of the fruit
supply in the East. The market is prac
tically bare ef fruit and the eomiug crop
is extremely short and. of poor quality.
The supply of summer fruits aad berries
has been short and the quality of much ef
it not good, and this is one of the reasons
why millions of pounds of prunes have
been sold for consumption in the sum
mer season this year contrary to previous
experience. -The drouth ia the Mississ
ippi valley has made it necessary for fruit
and vegetables to be shipped there from
the Atlantic States, something unheard
of, while the demand upon California
has become enormous. The greatest
shortage is going to be in the apple crop,
and it is dried apples that come the most
into competition with prunes. Another
influence stimnlatiag this unusual sum
mer demand is the increased consump
tion due to the advertising dons last
April, This effect will be a permasent
one and muat be reckoned with in esti
mating the probable demand. It is these
things rather than the size of the prune
crop, which of cogrse they can not know
accurately and which in Eastern com
mercial circles ie being much overstated
for bear purposes, which have led promi
nent dealers there to give it as their
opinion that the market will be. on a four
cent basis for the new crop. The asso
ciation has named no price for the new
crop as yet and will not do so for a lime,
but it is gathering all the information
necessary upon which to base it. The di
rectors will not say what they think it is
likely to be, but individually most of
them express the opinion that prunes of
the new crop will demand at least four
cents In the Eastern market.. The one
thing calculated to hold down the price
of both the new and the old crop is the
selling of their crops by growers to buy
ers at prices lower than the bullish con.'
flitions warrant. Seme have sold for fifty
percent less than the crops are worth to
day. There are instances where the buyers
have resold their contracts for a prod of
fifty per C6nt with the fruit still on the
trees. Growers whs throw away their
profits iu tliis Banner not only make a
failure of the business themselves, but
they contribute to influence's that serve
to bear the price of the entire crop.

The cutlqek for a good crop
of tops in Oreg an was never bet
ter thanjtis at this tkaa. The
acerage of producing ia this state
is. a. trifle , more than la former
seaseas, due to the fact that few
yards hive been abandoned,
while a number of new yards are
coming in with their first orops.
thus adding to the production of
Oregon's greatest and most talu
able Cr6p. However, the gross
product of the, Oregon yards
promices to be less, aceofdiug to
tho biSt authority, than last sea
son, though some asseri that last
year's erop will be equalled if not
excelled by this year's eatput.
Tfea condition -of the yards, es
pecially In tho hop district of
which Salem is the center, is
flatterlflg in tB extreme. Ex
pert nop ines who have made
extensive exatainatiens of the
yards, pronounce them In escel
leot condition - They have been
well cultivated, weeds are scarce,
lice, what few ttere were earlier
in the season, have to a great ex
test disappeared, partially as a re
sult of the extremely favorable
weather "conditions, bat prin
cipally en account of the viger
sus measures ;. adopted by the
growers to keep their heps clean
by thoroagU , spraying. - The
yards show far less foliage than
ia former years "while the burrs
are thlc&er and heavier in pro
portion to the foliage than usual,
already showing a rich oolor, aad
promising a . heavy yield of a
quality never seen in Oregon.
All this augurs welL for the pro
ducers, a splendid orop of excel
leat quality being the outlook at
this time. Statesman.
Everything indicates that the
price for heps will be fairly
good this fall. All over the
worhf there Is a greater demand
for hops fr malting ; purposes,
and the home consumption Is
greater than ever before. There
has been some hops contracted
as low as eleven cents, but not
many contracts are ta ba had at
this figure. T v

Forest Fires.
During the pjast -two weeks the
atmosphere has been clouded and
smoky in its appearance. In vaii-
ous localities forest fires have been
reported. However, no very des
tructive fires have been reported.
Commenting oh the subject the
lelegram Says: .
Oregon has been comparatively
free from forest fire . during the
past few years, but that this is due
to the decrease of forests, the in
creased watchfulness of owners of
valuable timber lands, and the
greater care ef campers, hunters
and herders, rather than to the . ef-
forts and activities of political forest
rangers, is generally supposed, if
not wU known. Yet these rangers
have no doubt been some aid to the
preservation of onr forests. Let
them not bo denied what little cred
it is their due. But, after all, the
press has been the greatest agency
in bringing about this coaparatlva
cessation of forest fares at this time
of the ysar. The press-has aroused
public interest; has. portrayed the
value of the forests and the loss con
sequent on their destruction: has
educated multitudes of readers and
has scared some until everybody
Who has read-the newspapers is
now a foe to these fires, and careful
not to start them.
