Thekk is encouragement to Ore gon fruit growers in recent crop re ports from Santa Clara valley, one of the richest and most fertile re gi us of California. This magnifi cnt valley has long been noted for Its fine fruits, especially grapes, apricots and prunes. The apricot crop will bring to the Santa Clara fruit growers this year about 133 per ton for green fruit," yielding fronillSO tofSOO an acre. The prune crop is also abundant and prices range from $27 to 132 per ton, equivalent to $200 and $300 an acre. The cherry crop is said to have been even more lucrative thaD prunes. Now, the milk in the co coanut is the fact that Oregon can raise better cherries and prunes, richer in flavor and more pounds to the acre, than" California. Our neighbor state has the advantage of Oregon in the matter of transportations-quick and safe transit to Eastern markets. The question of markets is largely a question of supply. When Oregon can ship fruits to Chicago, St. Louis and New York in train load lots during the fruit season, then, and not un til then, will she have equal trans portation facilities with California. Fruit culture is one of Oregon's growing industries, as yet only in its infancy, but each year adds something to the acreage and sup ply. The next decade will place Oregon up in the front rank as one of the leading fruit producing sec tions of the United States. Our people are moving forward in this direction and they will not take any backward steps. The editor of the Portland Lead er, a populist paper, in a farewell address to his readers gives evi dence of a contrite heart and re turning sanity: "Mv debt of gratitude to those who liave done all they could to sustain the paper is only exceeded by the debt I owe for pre sswork.

WHAT OLD ACQVAINTANCKS SAY OK CS The Xews has received a copy of Thk Extkri'Kise, published at In dependence, Oregon, by Brown it Bailey. The Mr. Brown of the firm is our F. M. Brown, formerly of The 'ews, but more recently of the Tlnrlev Record. We are chut to note that Bro. Brown has got back half of oppressed humanity, a very i into the harness again, and troiu large proportion of whom do not i tf,j appearance of his paper should appreciate the effort, I ol""l.v j judne that he had literally struck promise not to do so again." The initial number of the "Ore gon Christian Endeavorer" under the editorship of Will W. Brooks is at hand. It is a small four-quarto journal, published monthly. "The Endeavorer" presents a neat appearance typographically, is ably edited and equally fcbly sustained by a corps of interesting contribu tors. All the articles in the cur rent number discuss topics of popu lar interest in the field of religious thought. The editor, in his bright "Greeting," says- "Loyal, loving service for Christ and the Church, is the reasonable requirement of every Endeavorer. To aid in that service, to strengthen the weak societies, make the strong stronger, bring news from all parts of our great state and engender greater familiarity and interest in all de partments of the C. E. work shall be our constant aim." The En terprise sends The Endeavorer greeting, and wishes it success in its chosen field of useful labor. The success of a town depends largely upon the character of its business men. If they are wide awake, enterprising and public spirited the town will prosper, pro vided, of course, if it is sustained by an industrious community and healthv and resourceful environ ments. Independence has enter prising business men, an intelligent and :ndustriouB population and is located in the midst of one of the richest commonwealths in the state ofOreuon. It is the center of a large agricultural district and the natural trading point for half of Polk county. This is why our thriftv little city is moving right alor.g while many of its sister towns, not so favorably located, are standing still. Ax esteemed contemporary re marks ''Independence is a good town in a good county." This com pliment is all the more flattering because the editor who wrote it is doing business in a rival town in an adjoining county. Yes, Independ ence is a good town, and it is today one of the liveliest, most enterpris ing and pushing towns of the Will amette Valley. It has wideawake business men and an intelligent, in dustrious population. Polkcounty ranks among the finest common wealths inbe state, rich in timber and agricultural resources, a soil that is fertile, well drained, easily cultivated and capable of support ing a rural population of 100,000. Thk Mexican republic is becom ing rapidly civilized in this age of eteam and electricity. Indeed, in one important particular, it is ahead of its big northern neighbor. To be sure, the social instincts of the Mexican people still tolerate dueling, bull fights and bear ba tiug, but President Dial sternly prohibit the Corbett-Fitzsimmons mill desecrating the sacred soil of the Montezuma. Our city contemporary, in one of its semi-occasional hysterical fits, bitterly complains "there is prob ably no man more abused than one who runs a newspaper." Well, who is to blame? Is the editor privileged to hit right and left at everybody and everything that happens to run counter to his indi vidual crochets, and yet remain ex empt from the criticism of those whom he criticises? We know of no divinity which doth thus hedge in the editorial personality. If an editor possesses sufficient influ ence to deprive someone of "a fat office" it is quite natural . that in dividual should rataliate in some way, and the editor is fortunate if the retaliatory kick results in noth ing more serious than the loss of one subscriber. To be sure, it is inconvenient to lose a cash sub scriber, and also somewhat tantal izing to have him borrow the paper from an obliging neighbor and read it ''free gratis for nothin'." But, then, there is a certain degree of satisfaction in knowing that the sheet of old straw and spoiled ink is really worth borrowing. Some delinquent subscribers won't accord the average editor's hasty lucubra tions even that distinction In deed, they are often so unkind as to insinuate that the choicest bits of editorial brain work is stuff fit only to emanate from bedlam. This is a hard world to get on in without elbowing somebody in the short ribs, and if one does a good deal of kicking himself he should have the grit not to squeal if he gets kicked in turn. In the long run it pays to keep a stiff upper lip and not show that you are hurt if you are hard hit. pay dirt. The town, judging from the advertising columns of The Enterprise, is a lively little city, located in a very rich and prosper ous section of Orvgon; her business men are hustlers and alive to the best interests of their town and county; and are continually striv in to induce others to come there and aid them in developing the re sources of that country. We pre dict for Mr. Brown success iu In dependence, and can assure her people that he will do all in his power to aid them in building up a city. Mr. L. A. Bailey, who ,u;.' ..i. r r :.. ..

Some weeks ago the Statesman published the gist of a contract made between a Marion county grower and a nop buyer in wnicii the price named was 10 cents per pound. That item has been pub lished far and wide and yesterday County Recorder Waters received a communication from J. E. Gannon, deputy recorder of Sonoma county. California, making inquiry as to the correctness of the price and the advance named. Mr. Gannon is a large grower in Sonoma county and is greatly interested in the question of contracting his crop. The tone of the letter would make it appear that 10 cents has not been offered in the Golden state for hops. Sa lem Statesman. A Household Treasure. D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, N.

With these and others, it is important, whether at home, at the sea shore or in the country, that some thought be given to diet, and as further assistance to nature, a good building-up medi cine like Hood's Sarsaparilla had best be resorted to.
