Supt G. S. Morgan, of the city electric
light and water plant, brought to thin
olliee yesterday looming a branch
fourteen inches in length, cut
from a Pradnhaw plum tree growing in
his yard, corner Second and Jackson
street, which contained eighteen magni
ficent plums, the smallest of which was
a large as an ordinary sized turkey egg.
We have never seen anything to coin-
pare with the sample handed us, and the
only regret is that we cannot show the
branch as it now is, to some of our Lant
ern friends who are slow to believe that
the fruit of Oregon beats the world. In
fact it need to be seen to be appreciated.
If our readers will step into the Bailuy
drug store they will see a can of figs
w hich are not only a scarce article in
Oregon but holds over any fruit of that
variety ever grow n in thi section. The
can contains ubout a dozen large figs,
w hich weiegrown by Andrew lleckman,
of Bethany, and presented to Recorder
Kuratli, who had them canned and will
deliver them over to Mr. Wall for exhi
bition ut the state fair, and should
certainly draw a prize. The trees from
which these figs were taken liear two
un.l three times a year, and the yield is
large. The late Jacob Prugger planted
the. trees from which thi particular
fruit was gathered.

of baggage and three to four cars loaded

A big mas meeting was held at the
Auditorium in Newport last Tuesday

A Dangerous Adventure.
A party of sit men on Monday went
out over Netarts bar in one of Geo. W.
Phelps, boats to the 8"a Lion Hocks off
Cape Meares lighthouse, t-i explore the
picturesque home of the numerous birds
and sea lions. It is a venturesome and
dangerous trip to make In a small I suit
even in fine weather aud when there is
not a ripple to Isb seen on the mixhly
Pacific. The party included D. B.
Keasoner, D. Burkhalter, Win. Wall and
II. Schulmericli, of llillslsiro, Or., It
Lockwood, of Forest Grove, aud II. M.
Keasoner, of Keasoner, Iowa They hud
a successful trip out to the rocks, and
some of them lauded aud succeeded in
reaching the uppermost part of the r k,
where they found a laige nuniln-r of
bird's eggs and interesting things. They
captured several young bird and killed
a numtier sea lions, there lieing thousands
in the vicinity of the rock. On coming
back over the bar a little incident oc
curred which made them hold their
breath and proved to them that a ier
son was running considerable risk of
going to Dave Jones' locker when taking
a trip to the seal rocks in a small boat.
