WILli SIICT DOWX DECnMBEH 1ST.
PmsBrRa, Nov. 18. The twelve
Bessemer rail manufacturers of the
country announce that they have de
cided to order a general suspension
of work in their industry. Just when
is not stated, but the first day of
December is the expected time. The
twelve manufacturers are conferring
together hero and givo a3 a reason for
the suspension the unsatisfactory
condition of the rail market. Many
contracts are expiring and new ones
are being held back in the hope of
low prices: others are willing to
place contracts, but the terms are en
tirely unsatisfactor3'. The manu
facturers say that the prices cannot
be reduced owing to high wages and
the rates demanded for ore. The
suspension will throw an immense
number of men out of employment,
not only in the mills, but in the coke
regions of this section. It is esti
mated that fully one third of the
coke output will be thrown on the
market, and this will not only re
duce the price, but may result in
shutting down a largo proportion of
the ovens aud will consequently re
duce the number of workmen.

AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT.
Prnne Cnltnrc In Western Oregon.
Astoria, Nov. 18, '87.
Editor Asterian:
Much attention has, by tho uoar
completion of tho O. & C. R. R., been
attracted to fruit growing in western
Oregon and particularly to the culti
vation of prunes.
It is said that one man at Van
couver this year realized S2.G00 from
six acres. That four acres in south
ern Oregon bronght last year Sl,200
and this year 2,000. That 87,000
was offered for the fruit on 20 acres
near Salem. It is claimed that Ore
gon is one of the best localities in the
world and almost the only one in the
United States for raising prunes.
The great success of California in
fruit raising is drawing to this coast
people from the east, and they are
now pressing north into southern
Oregon and the Willamette valley
lands having already reached 8500 per
acre, a prico not new to California,
but a wonder to Oregonians. Such
an interest is awakened that tho
nurseries are not able to supply the
demand for trees.
Some have expressed the fear that
the piune business might bo over
done, the market overstocked and
prices reduced so as not to pay.
According to the statistical bureau
there were imported into tho United
States during the year ending June
30, '87, over ninety-two million pounds
of dried prunes of a value of threo
million dollars. Tho year before
there was imported but sixty-four
million ponnds.
The demand is both largo and
growing so large that westeru Ore
gon and Washington canuot over
stock the market. As for price the
home fruit so far excels tho com
mon imported article that there is
not danger for competion.
The residents of lower Columbia
have been so given to fishing and
lumbering that they havo done very
little with fruit. But from the best
information that can bo gathered
the prune would produce abundant
ly here. The experience of Adams
and Miller nt Westport, Knapp at
Knappa, Nurnburg on Young's river,
Jeffries and Boelling on Lewis and
Clarke, Matier at Skipanou and
Stanly at Seaside is favorable. All
of theso persons with exception of
one or two having trees in bearing.
To grow for market, however,
large quantities must be grown. The
orchards should bo counted by the
acre.
The Italian is reckoned the best
but there are other good kinds. Tho
last meeting of fruit growers at
Portland recommended high, dry,
well manured, cultivated and drained
land for such orchards. Also that
the prune be grafted into peach
stock.
An attempt to grow the pruuo in
quantities should be made in Clat
sop and Pacifio counties, but who
ever makes that attempt should do so
with a full determination to cultivate
the orchard with as much care as he
would his potato or cabbage garden.

PERSONAL 3IENTION.

Beyer leave overland for Yaquina:
Lieut. McClellan will remain a few

The Last Of It.
Washington, Nov. 18. Willi re
gard to tho order issued by the v :ir
department for abandonment of Fort
Canby, it may bo said that tho pro
posed transfer was favored by the
inspector that visited tho post, and
tho same was approved in turn by
Gen. Gibbon, Gen. Howard and Gen.
Sheridan. Thereupon tho secretary
of war considered it as a wise thing
to do, and has so ordered. Senators
Mitchell and Dolph havo exerted
themselves to prevent the transfer of
troops, but their efforts have been in
vain. The reason given for tho
change is that with new railway lines
traversing tho Pacific coast, troops
can bo transported from San Fran
cisco to the cnterior of Oregon or
Washington territory as speed ily as
though they wero stationed at Fort
Canby, for in the latter caso they
would be compelled to rely to a great
extent upon water lines of travel,
which aro much slower than railways.
In Brief, and to The Point.
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foo
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and
wonderful things in oxistenoe. It is
easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, lato
hours, irregular habits, and nany
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a na
tion of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower hae
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember: No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to tho
dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a
bottle. Seventy-five cents.
