From all over the country comes the report of a failure in thQ prune crop. It is estimated that in this county there will not be more thin a fourth of a crop, possibly not more tuan a fifth. This is, indeed, a very serious condition of affairs. Robert Johnson, manager of the big orchard of the Benton County Prune Co., says that their orchard produced as many prunes last year as the whoie of Benton county will produce this year. Along about the latter pirt of next month prunes generally drop from the trees to some extent and with the small setting of fruit this season if they should drop to any degree the output will he most seriously affect ed. However, everything indicates that the prunes that are produced will be unusually large, and it is hoped that the price will be as large as the crop is small.

Shadden, Portland ; Dr. Frank Mitchell, California; and Mrs. L. C. Holgate, Baker City; who together with seven grand children and one great-grand child mourn her loss. She was married the second time, at Mc Liinnville. to Mr. Gray, who died in Corvallis, a few years back. She united with the Baptist church in Corvallis, Feb. 28, 1892. Her liie has been that 01 a consistent follower ot Christ. She was ever at the post of duty and a great worker in the church until sickness laid her aside and deprived the church of one of its best ' helpers. Her sufferings were great, beyond words to tell, but now she has fallen sweetly asleep in Jesus whence none shall ever wake to mourn or weep. Long will her memory be loving ly cherished by all who knew her, while we shall look forward with intense anticipation to the hour of reunion amidst the joys and splendors which know 110" ending. Truly the memory of the just is blessed. The funeral services were con lucted by Rev. M. Noble, in the Baptist church, Tuesday morning,at 10 o'clock, June 3, 1902. The death of A. Cauthoru oc curred in this city last Sunday morning about 6 o'clock. He had been a resident of this coun ty for 37 years, having come from Missouri to Oregon in 1865.

B. church, South. The funeral will occur at 2 p. m. today and the services will be conducted by Rev. W. B. Smith, of the South Methodist church. Interment will be made in the Crystal Lake cemetery.

William Elliott died last Thursday night at her home a few miles north of this city. She was the mother of Elda and W. E. El liott, both lately deceased, and was an old pioneer. She had been an invalid for a dozsn years as the re sult of a stroke of, paralysis. She contracted pneumonia a couple of days before her death and to this is attributed her sudden demise. She was aged 68 years. The funeral occurred Saturday and the services were held at the Mt. View school house and were conducted by Rev. II. A. Deck. The interment was madf in the Locke cemetery. The deceased was the mother of a large familv and had many warm friends. Thus has another pioneer cone to the great beyond. Something New. While our city is well supplied with fraternal orders, the Inde pendent Order of Lions, with fts most excellent and unique plans, found sufficient favor with our people, as presented by Mrs. L. Lash, of Portland, who repre sents the order in Oregon, to en able her in a remarkably short time to secure a charter list of twenty-six of our leading citizens. On the evening of May 29th the lodge was instituted with the aid of Supervising Deputy C. D. Fowls. The following officers were elected and installed: Dr. L. G. Altman, past president; J. Wrage, president; Mrs. Ellen Brunk, vice-president; JNliles Starr, secretary; Anora Laflerty. treasurer; Rev. Andrew Carrick, chaplain; Lillie J. King, s-r-geant-at-arms; Harriet Dilley, assistant sergeant-at-arms; H. S. Clodfelter, door-keeper; West Newton, sentinel, W. H. Dilley, Dr. W. T. Rowley and H. M. Drank are trustees. The lodge was named to be known as "Mizpah,". and is to meet on the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month. . This is a fine record for two days' work and speaks well for the energy and, push of the or ganizer. The Order of Lions is a typical "web-foot" fraternal institution, incorporated . under the laws of Oregon with its su- preme omces createa in tne Chamber of Commerce Building, Portland, where its supreme president and secretary may be found at any time and when the books are open to the inspection of any member ot the order. Th benefits are paid in a pension $50 a month for a period of four years and a fianeral benefit of $100. - This makes it a most ex cellent order to take up along with other orders or insurance which is paid in a lump sflm. Mrs. Lash returned to .Port land on Friday, but will return in a few days and continue her work with the lodge. At the Opera House.
