Advices belntf received dally by Sec retary Williamson of the state horticul tural board show that the recent frost was productive of considerable damage to the prune crop of the northwest. This state, It Is now estimated, will have only about two-thirds the quan tity of prunesproducedlastyear. That however, will make the crop fall but little less than normal because last year's production was more than ordl narlly large. The greatest damage to the fruit was done in the low lands and unsheltered valleys where dampness contributed to the destructive effect of the frost monarch. The orchards in the vicinity of Dallas and throughout the greater portion of Polk County away from the Willamette river, suffered very little or not at all, as the frosts, where they occurred, were very light The large orchards lying immedi ately outside the city limits were practically untouched, and the recent rains came too late to cause serious damage. It is believed that unless something entirely unforeseen occurs, the prune output for this locality will be practically as large as ever. Keep the Balance Up. It has been truthfully said that any disturbance of the even balance of health causes serious trouble. No body can be too careful to keep this balance up. When people begin to lose appetite, or to get tired easily, the least Imprudence brings on sickness, weakness, or debility. The system needs a tonic, craves it, aU should not be denied It ; and the best tonic of which we bave any knowledge Is Hood's Sarsaparilla. What this med icine has done In keeping healthy people healthy, in keeping uptbe even balance of health, gives It the same distinction as preventive that It enjoys aa a cure. Its early use has illustrated the wisdom of the old say log that a stitch in time saves Dine. Take Hood's for appetite, strength, and endurance. A burning chicken bouse near the dty park yesterday morning, created smudge that looked as though a really serious conflagration were taking place. The members of the fire department were very much dis gusted when they arrived upon the scene, to find that tbeir run bad beeo for nothing, but bad the satisfaction of knowing that tbey would bave been ia time anyhow, if the fire had beea anything of a serious nature. W. B. Palmer returned to his school work at the Oregon Agricultural Col lege yesterday morning after having attended tbe wedding of bis sister, Florence, ia this city Wednesday. j E. C McTlmmoods, of Alrlle, was a baslnee v! a! tor in Dallas, yesterday.
