Five million rainbow, Eastern brook and steelhead trout are being distrlb utcd In Oregon's riven and lakes thl season by the Oregon game and fis commission in the most extensive fish stocking campaign in Oregon. To accomplish this a special fish car i being built by the O-.W. R. & N. be equipped at the expense of tbe state, in which the trout may live aerated water during transportation The ne nxh car ia being built at considerable expense to facilitate the carrying of the finny animals. It will hold 250,000 fish in the two supply tanks of 900 gallons each, will be equipped with pumps to force hot air over Ice-cooled coils and into the water, will have bunks and accom modationa for four men and will have a completely-equipped office on board for the man in charge. Before this the most primitive methods of trans portation have been fused. The trout have been changed from one recepta cle to another in order to give them fresh water, a lone process and an awkward one. Plans for the fish distribution have been systematized and the distribution is now under way. From the Bonne ville hatchery consignments will be sent to the railway station nearest the destination and from there packed laboriously over trails and roads to the stream itself. As a beginner 200,000 trout will be distributed in the Ashless lakes in the Cascade forest reserve. There are 70 lakes in this territory, far from any railroad sta tion, and a contract has been given S S. Moore, an old trail packer of Ore eon City, to carry the fish from De troit, Bend. Estacada and Cazadero, A man from the fish warden's office will go along and designate which lakes are to be stocked. Last year was the first time that any systematic work in fish conservation and propapa tion was attempted and little could be accomplished, but that little has af forded an impetus for tbe big plans that will be carried out during the present season. Silverton has re ceived already 40,000 trout; Baker, 50.000: Clatsop, 45,000, and Yamhill 50,000, and tbe shipments nave hardly begun. The distribution will be completed by August 31. The fishing season for trout opens April 1 and closes November 1. APPLE ESTIMATES FALL. Hsod River !Crop May Not Exceed . 600,000 Boxes. Hood River Early estimates of the Hood River Valley apple crop, made from bloom prospects and loaded fruit spurs, have Deen greauy reaucen py experts and experienced orchardists, who have investigated the orchards during the past week. The latest es timates of the crop range all the way from 600,000 to 800,000 boxes. "From my observations last week," says W. H. Lawrence, fruit inspector, "the valley should have 800,000 boxes of fruit, ll the apples reach the size which prevailed year before last If the fruit is small, as it was last year, we will have but few boxes more than 700,000. Every prospect seems to point to a big apple crop this year. The weather conditions have been ideal for perfect apples." Charles H. Sproat, manager of the National Apple company, says the crop of commercial apples will not ex ceed 600,000 boxes. I do not include in this," says Mr. Sproat, "the culls nd lower grade fruits, which will be consumed at home and in neighboring markets. I mean by my statement that we will not have more than 600,- 000 box es of first-class and extra fancy fruit." Wires Reach Albany Soon. Albany Tbe crew which has been erecting trolley poles on the Salem Albany extension of the Oregon Elec tric has reached this city. The men stringing wires are only a few miles out and are expected to reach here early this week. Pending the erec tion of the Albany passenger depot a temporary depot is being' erected on the corner of the depot site at Fifth and Lyon streets. From present indi cations everything will be in readiness for the inauguration of regular train service to Albany July 1. Dallas Gets'1 Canning Plant. Dallas The J. K. Armsby com pany, of San Francisco, is preparing to put up a large canning plant here. Bids have been called for, and the building will be constructed within the next few weeks. The plant will be in operation in time to handle this years' crop. The prune crop in this county is going to fall short nearly 50 per cent of the usual yield. Late frosts are responsible for this condi tion. Fall River Application Made. Salem The Fall River Irrigation company has made an application to the office of the State engineer for water for a Carey Act project of 2500 acres of public and private land from the Fall river, a tributary of the De schutes river. According to figures in the office of the State engineer the overflow of the river is practically all taken up and it is possible the water may not be allowed. BEGIN SOIL SURVEY. Students and Faculty of O, A. C. to Compllt Facts. Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis The first agricultural survey of the state of Oregon was begun in ear nest this week when nine men fac ulty members, graduates, and upper classmen of the college, left Corvallis to canvass the counties of tbe state as representatives of the Oregon statis tical bureau and collect field notes from which the report will be com piled and published for distribution. The survey has for its object the securing of reliable data which will show to which of the agricultural pur suits the counties have been peculiarly adapted and, also, to what extent the possibilities have been developed and may be expected to develop in the future under proper management. Precaution will be taken to make the information collected as nearly ac curate as possible. To this end the field agents will collect nothing but tbe plain truth regarding 'soils, crops, transportation and labor conditions, etc. uncolored by the enthusiastic local advertisers. Each county will receive not less than 50 interviews nor more than 100, in proportion to tbe population. For comparative pur poses the interviews will be equally divided, as nearly as possible, between the operators of large and small ranches. All interviews will be made on the farms and whenever possible the information will be taken from actual records. COWBOYS ROUND UP RANCHERS Bill Hanley and Prof. Scudder Travel 600 Miles Holding Institutes. Oregon JAgriculturalCollege, Cor vallis On a recent trip to Central Oregon, Prof. H. D. Scudder, of the O. A. C. agronomy department, was taken by "Bill" Hanley in his auto mobile some 600 miles to hold insti tutes and meet the ranchers of Harney county, discussing with them their difficulties In moisture conservation and other essentials in crop production in that region. Cowboys were sent out to "round up" the ranchers for the meetings, and many drove 20 to 30 miles over the sage-brush prairies to talk over their troubles with the col lege expert. It is planned by the college through its Harney County Experiment Stat ion to make a survey of that district so that conditions three years and five years hence may be compared with the present and some adequate idea be formed of the progress made by the adoption of scientific methods. Prof. Scudder has just returned from Seattle, where he-' addressed a conference of the development leagues of the seven Northwest states. He emphasized the necessity of assisting men brought into the country by all the beautiful development literature and attractive advertising, to locate where they may become successful. glKflington Peters Salem's Oldest and Best Piano House Wo make a specialty of supplying the trade with the best make lof instruments that can be procured in the world.

Medford A cotton boll weevil has been discovered in Medford and is now calmly eating a tomato plant under the inspection of Prof. Ogara, the county pathnologist It is supposed that the pest came 1500 miles by railroad with a Mexican shipment. This weevil, noted for its destruction of cotton, sweet corn, peas and other goods to the amount of $20, 000,000 annually, appears to be per fectly at home in tbe Rogue River valley and for fear that it might es tablish a family here, increasing at the rate of several hundred a year, its execution has been set for July 4.
