Orchards in Dallas District Escape
Heavy Frosts and Promise
Usual Crop.
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.

Daring Burglars
Foiled!
The residences of several of our best citizens were
attacked by a band of blacklegs now infesting this
city, in the shape of Flies, Mosquitos, Gnats, Bugs
and Worms. But we are pleased to state that the
blood-thirsty villains were foiled at every house
where we have sold Wheeler screens -the only real:
Scientific Screen.
These Screens are really "burglar-proof," for they
are the only Locking Screen; a burglar would have
to cut the wire which would waken any one! Peo
ple who sleep on first floors appreciate them.
Ten-Day Free Trial
On any or every window you wish to screen. No
matter what you thought to buy, or what you
thought to pay, first use the Wheeler ten days free,
and learn all that a Screen must do to satisfy year
after year.
Off thev come after the trial if thev fail in anv wav.
