Eugene Weekly Guard. All Trace of the Folsom Convict Escapes Has Been Lost. (^LXralLL UKOK., I r-prlM-r«. EUGENE Placerville, Cal., Aug. 1.—Although hundreds of heavily armed men are now engaged in the search for tbe 12 . surviving prisoners who escaped from I the Folsom penitentiary, the outlaws | remain masters of the situation, i They hate succeeded in eluding their , pursuers and the ultimate escape of at * least a portion of the gang seems high ly probable. Since the fatal tight at Pilot Hill, in which one of the convicts was killed, the others have not been seen, unless the story of William Green, a cowboy, who »ays he met two armed men in Placer county today aud altei wards identified them by photographs as a couple of the outlaws, proves to tie true. Even this affords but a slight clew, though it is being followed up by the others. The conviction ie growing that the fleeing men are headed for the Sierra Nevada mountains and are being aided by ex-convicts who reside along the route they have taken. The people throughout this set ion of the state are greatly alarmed, notwithstanding tiie presence ot many peace officers and a company of militia. Thoee residing in isolated lis-alities live in dread of attack liy the fugetives who are believed te be short of both food and ammu nition. OREGON.

From the viewpoint of the grain raiser dame nature is in a state of revolt this year in Southern Oregon, the drouth prevailing for the past few months having wofully reduced the average in all small grains. It ap pears as if nature, indeed, rebelled at man's persistent perversion of soil and climate condltiona intended to produce nectar for the goda, to the baHer uses of growing provender for kine or grain for human kind or other cattle. The orchards and alfalfa meadows, however, are yielding up such stores of wealth as only those realize who are familiar with existing conditions. Apples and pears promise fancy fig ures again this year, in fact growers look for record-breaking prices, owing to partial failure of fruit of ordinary quality in the east. Of course the fancy fruit for which this section is distinguished is not exactily in com petition with ordinary barrel stock, but scarcity of the latter article al ways enhances prices all round. Growers are carefully thinning and applying the summer spray at pres ent. and favoring weather conditions are giving promise of quality sur passing, perhaps, any former year in the history of the local trade. FIX PRICE OF PRUNES. Willamette Valley Growers' Association Says 2% Cent Baals. The Willamette Valley Prune Asso ciation held an important meeting at Halem last week. Delegates were in attendance from Douglas. Lane, Linn, Polk. Benton and Clackamas coun ties, and from Vancouver, Wash., and was the most representan ve gather ing of the fruitgrowers of the North west ever held in that city. Organi zations are already formed in Linn. Benton, Douglas. Marion and Yamhill counties, and at Vancouver, Wash., and associations will he formed all ever the state ami the northwest in the near future. The plan under dis cusión at the meeting was to have all the associations In the Northwest un der one secretary, so that it will be impossible for one organization to un dersell another in the market, thus creating uniform scale of prices for all fruits on the coast. The plan met with the approval of all present and an effort will be made to bring the condition about. The price of prunes this year is fix- ed on a 2% cent basis. Coming Events.
