San Francisco, May 19.—The Atlantic
fleet of battleships, after 12 days of
naval pageantry and merrymaking in
San Francisco, sailed yesterday morn
ing at 10 o ’clock for Puget Sound, ar
riving off Seattle on May 21. One-half
of the ships will dock at Bremerton
navy yard while at the north, and the
others will return here for repairs and
painting beneath the w ater line.
Play days in Puget Sound will be
over half the month, and then the of-
ncers and men will resume the usual
routine of man o ’ war life. Orders call
for the reassembling of the fleet in San
Francisco harbor not later than July 3.
On July 7 the fleet will sail for Hono
lulu. and after a w eek's stay there will
go direct to Auckland.
The Pacific fleet of armored cruisers,
under command of Bear Admiral Day-
ton, sailed south Sunday morning at 8
o'clock, and Rear Admiral Sperry, in
command of the Atlantic fleet, hoisted
for the first time his commanding flag
of blue. Being junior in lineal rank
to Admiral Dayton, Admiral Sperry
was compelled by naval regulations to
fly a subordinate flag of red so long
as the Pacific fleet remained at this
station.
The long line of armored cruisers,
which sailed for Santa Barbara, was
headed by the flagship W est Virginia,
and included the Colorado, Maryland,
Pennsylvania. Tennessee, Washington
and California. The protected cruiser
Charleston, flagship of Rear Admiral
Swinburne, also sailed with the fleet,
but her destination is Monterey.

Boseburg.—The report of President
H. N. Cobb, of the Douglas County
Fruit Growers’ association, shows the
fruit crop in the Umpqua valley will
be very good this year. The straw
berry crop is good, and the berries are
coming in pretty fast now. The peach
crop is fair, and the last frost was a
detrim ent in only a very few sections.
The pear crop is fair. Apples will be
good. The prune crop will also be
good, as only a few of the small sections
of the county were late enough to be
caught by the frost. The cherry crop
is good. All kinds of berries are ex
cellent. The crop in general was not
damaged to any noticeable extent, and
the fruit growers are greatly pleased
to note that this section, while it was
reported to have been damaged by the
late frost, will be as good or even bet
ter than last year, and will be first in
the m arket with all kinds of berries and
cherries. Many large shipments of ber
ries will be made to Portland the la«tter
part of the week. Several small ship
ments have already been made. The
local m arkets will be supplied with
home-grown fruits of all kinds from
now on.
Portland.—County judges aud com
missioners of all the counties of Ore
gon, as well as all the commercial or
ganizations of the state have been sent
a letter by tho Oregon-Alaska-Yukon-
Paciflc commission in which the commis
sioners ask for co-operation in making
Oregon's exhibit at the Seattle show the
greatest state exhibition at next y ea r’s
big exposition.
The commissioners set forth th at Ore
gon will have the most complete state
building at the fair, and th at the co
operation of the officials in securing
thorough and attractive exhibits of Or
egon’s resources will be imperative.
The letter which has been sent by the
commision through President Wehrung
is in part as follows:
‘‘The expense to your county in col
lecting such an exhibit will not be
large. Get a live man to take hold of
the work and push it, bearing in mind
that it Is quality not quantity th at is
wanted. A fter you have gathered your
exhibit we will transport it to Seattle,
install and maintain it without further
expense to your county; we will als*'
place an attendant in charge, and will
keep in close touch with you during the
fair, so that your county will get all
the benefit possible in the way of ad
vertising, etc.
“ The commission is also having
printed a 96-page booklet on the re
sources of Oregon, which will be dis
tributed during the exposition. Two
pages of this booklet will be devoted to
each county. We also intend to show
by moving pictues the farms, orchards,
livestock, timber, mountains, streams
and everything of interest in each
county.
We must have you* help and co-opera
tion in the gathering of your exhibit.
If we were compelled to buy these ex-
hibts the state would have to double
its present appropriation, but with your
assistance we hope to carry out our
present plans without asking for any
further apppropriation."

A t French, late last evening, they
broke down the doors of the depot,

A tram p wandered into the station
half an hour later, released the almost
unconscious men and gave the alarm.
The news of the daring robbery was
wired to every town in the neighbor
hood of French, and a special train
bearing 30 deputies and 50 horses left
East Las Vegas in half an hour, hot
on the trail of the fleeing robbers. A
special with four men left Dawson also,
