The Pacific Farmer has the following
concerning a Clackamas county fruit
raiser :
"An orchardist near Oswego has
brought to Portland some of the finest
apricots and peaches that ever came to
this market; in fact, they put all the
California fruit that has ever been
shipped here in the shade. Many of
the peaches weigh over half a pound
and are beautifiil in color and fine in
flavor, while the apricute are the finest
and largest that ever came into the
market. The peaches are of the variety
known a "Hale's Karly," The gro
cer who bandies tueui declined to
Sive us the name of the raiser of this
ne fruit, as he said he bad a good
thing and did not want any other dealer
to tumble to it, he waoted it all to him
self and thinks if lie lets out tlie secret
of tho raiser's name some other dealer
will offer a better price and knock him
out. Such fruit will bring almost any
price in the Portland market. We learn
however, that the gentleman who raised
this luscious fruit will have a thousand
baskets of it this year, which, when
iroperly handled will bring him from
1.500 to $2,000, as it ought to be made
to bring 10 cents per pound.
As to the apricots that were delivered
on Friday last and the peaches of Mon
day, we say that there were never a finer
lot sold in any market, and Is but an
other evidence of the wonderful pro
ductiveness of the Willamette Valley.
Fruit will bring a good price this year;
we heard of offers for orchards of prunes
at H4 cents, taking the orchard through,
wu ich is a pretty good price.
Hlrh Rati of Nieed of Locroiotlvii.
Some have confidently assorted that a
speed of 100 miles an bour was entirely
practicable. Professor Elihu Thomson
In a lecture before a scientific club has
declared that much higher speeds can
be obtained by means of electricity, and
he considers from 100 to 150 miles an
hour possible White in the steam lo
comotive there are reciprocating parts
that must be put In motion, stopped.
and reversed continually, in the electric
locomotive we nave simply a rotary mo
tion, wheh makes it possible to run with
economy at much higher speed. He be
lieved that if we would come back after
another hundred years, we would find
150 miles sn hour to be tlie stwed of trav
eling, adding, "It simplv depends npon
nndtng the necessary method of supply
ing sullicient power, and building the lo
comotives to suit, arrangement being
adopted to keep the cars on the track.
One hundred and fifty miles an hour may
be among the possibilities, but probably
most people nowadays would rather leave
to coming generations the enjoyment of
whirling through space at that frightful
velocity. To leave Chicago at night and
be in New York next morning would be
a wonderful achievement, involving
great increase of business facilities, but
the safety of such a speed under present
conditions may well be questioned.

A New Route Across the Atlantic,
It is now stated that s company of
Boston have been quietly, but busy at
work developing the foundations of a
seairort at the eastern end ot the straits
of Canso, Nova Scotia, which will proba
bly play an important part in future com
mercial communication between Europe
and America. They have selected a
place to be called the Terminal City on
the International railway, and the gov
ernment lias consented to an extension
to accommodate tlie new shipping port.
Terminal; Citv is said to be situated on
one of the finest harbors of the Atlantic
coast, having sullicient depth of water
tor me largest veaei anoat, boing com
pletely land-locked, absolutely free from
ice aud fog, and open to navigation at
all times A straight line on the map of
the world from Chicago to Liverpool
passes through this point, and tlie dis
tance between them Is 400 miles shorter
than by Portland, Boston or Now York.
It will take four days from Terminal City
to Liverpool by tlie now ftteamers pro
posed to be put on the route. This will
revolutionize the shipping business across
the Atlantic, and create a formidable
competition.
CLACKAMAS COUNTY
One of the Wealthiest Counties in
the State.
It Manufacturing' and Agrlrnltoral Re
sonrtrs Cannot be Hurpnssci.
This county contains an area of 1,000,'
000 acres, a considerable portion of
which Is yet unsurvcyed. It is bounded
on tbe north by Multnomah county, on
the east by Wasco, on the south by Ma-
rion, and on the west by Marion and
Washington. While a portion of the
county is motintainons and heavily tim
bered, it contains within its area some of
the finest agricultural lands in the state.
Clackamas county wheat took the first
premium at the Centennial Kiposition
and the Oregon State Fair. Grain pro
ducts and fruits of all kinds are produced
of a superior quality. A lot of peaches
and apricots giown this season near Os
wego are mentioned as being the finest
In lit Portland market. The establish
ment of a large fruit and vegetable can
nery at Oregon City will all the more
stimulate the production of fauits and
vegetables. At resent the demand for
these articles far exceeds the supply.
The establishment of this cannery which
has large capacity, and is fitted out
with the latest improved machinery, and
gives employment to a large number of
men, women and children, together with
the numerous manufactories being es
tablished, will make a good borne mar
ket for years to come.
The mountain portion of the county
is covered with the finest growth of tim-1-er
in the state, consisting of fir. larch
and cedar, which will be very valuable
as soon as the proper transportation
facilities are established. Lumber man
ufacturing is already becoming an im
portant indubtry in Clackamas county.
Considering the nearness of Clacka
mas county lands to market, they are tbe
cheapest to be found in the state, and
intending settlers can purchase small
tracts suitable lor Innt and vegetable
raising on tlie most reasonable terms.
Clackamas county nee is more farmer

and raise fruits and vegetables for the
home market. This county cannot af

consumption. Nothing adds to the

than small producers, therefore every

Clackamas connty can truthfully

Clackamas county has the richest
deposit of iron ore in northwest, and the
Oswego Iron Works, which have been
in successful operation for the past two
years on an extensive scale, are supply
ing the entire northwest with their
products.

Oregoa Marble.
Workmen at the Woodward ami Wil
lis quarry are now busily engaged in
digging out and preparing for market
large quan.ities of Oregon s most valua
ble rock variegated marble. The new
machinery works like a charm under the
supervision of Dr. Bunnell, and more
machinery is toon expected to arrive,
which will still further increase the ca
pacity of the works. Dr. Bunnell, though
not born in a quarry, nor brought up in
a marble mill, takes to marble aa
naturally as a voting duck does to wa
ter, and has already invented and con
structed a machine for cutting out col
umns that will do the work of a half
dozen or moro expert cutters. There is
one peculiarity about this Southern Ore
gon marble that no other American
marble possesses. It can be turned on
a lathe the same aa 'wood or other sub
stances. The Vermont and Tennessee
marbles, so we are informed, cannot! be
so treated, but have to be worked out by
hand. The Italian marble and the Ore
gon marble are the only varieties that
will stand turning, and tho Oregon pro
duct is the bettor of the two, if one can
believe the statements of those who
claim to know. Douglas county has
bright outlook for the near future, and
its marble mines will prove no small
(actor in building up the country. Rose

. An Eio.lni of the Jews of Russia.
Tho possibility of a tremendous rush
of destitute Jews from Russia to the
United States bus opened up a train of
important problems. The first ot these,
of course will be the question of their
admissibility under the law excluding
all persona liable to become a public
charge. Supeiintendent Weaver, of the
National Immigration Bureau, says that
me law was designed lor just such emer
gencies, and that be will enforce it
strictly. While sympathy for the op
pressed is characteristic of Americans,
they can scarcely allow it to rule in an
emergency of tins kind. Not less than
one million Jews will be afiected by this
late edict of the czar, and it is believed
that 60 per cent, of these, most of whom
are entirely destitute, will come to New
York. The American Hebrews, roused
to activity by a like stress put upon their
race in 1882, organized two or three soci
eties for the relief of their persecuted
race. One of these has now available
funds of $10,000 a month with which to
meet the emergency and insure tlie care
of their destitute brethren until such
time as they can find avenues for self
help open to them. Strong efforts will
be made to induce such special consider
ation ou the part of government authori
ties as will result in letting the Jews in
and glying them a chance.
Thinks the Administration Slow,
Yamhill Republican ; The necessity ot
a reform school for young convicts is be
ing alluded to by tlie Oaegon press with
as much regularity as if something was
in the way. What is the matter? Ap
propriations were made two years ago for
such an Institution, and just within a
week or two contract for the work were
let . At the same ratio of progress to tbe
finish the millenium is likely to get here
first. When it is proposed to put up a
building in this city of about equal cost
to the reform school, a company is
formed, the money is put up, and in four
weeks the walls are going up. Isn't our
state administration a little slow ?
