Al*o Affected.
Albany— Tha prana crop of Linn
county w ill ba almoat an antira failure
thia year, according to an orchardiat
who waa ip Albany a few day« ago.
The froat that visited tha valley came
a t a vary inopportune time for tha
orcharda. Tha cold weather that held
on until an almoat unprecedented lata
data for thia valley had kept tha fruit
back until ore hard is ts were confident of
escaping the spring froata that usually
catch tha fruit in March, if at all.
But the warm weather during tha first
week of A p ril brought the fruit out
rapidly, and when tha cold rains came
again, fru it of every description was in
fu ll bloesom. The heavy frost found
tha fruit in full bloasom and did much
> damage.
Tha prune trees ware wall «loaded
with bloaaoms, which had begun to fall.'
A close examination of tha trees re*
veals noiy that although the embryo
fruit within the bloeeom is green, yet
the fraitstem leading from the lim b of
the tree is turning yellow.
This is
's a id to mean that the fruit w ill drop
from the tree just as soon as the prune
becomes large enough to add w eight to
the stem. The dead stain can not bear
up any load. The statement of thb
prunergower is that at least three-
fourths of the prunes are.'affected in
this way, and that orebardisita w ill do
w ell to save one-fourth of this year’ s
prune crop. As prunes constitute the
greater part of the fruit crop of the
county, the loss will, fall heavily upon
fruitgrowers in this part of the valley.
Pears are affected in the same way
The young pears were Just beginning to
form when the frost came and were hit
just as hard as the prunes.
Apples are looking w ell at this time.
They were not affected so seriously by
the late frost, and the trees are now
covered with blossoms that look healthy
and give every promise of developing
into fruit of Oregon’ s usual excellent
varieties.
This crop w ill, however,
depend largely on the weather during
the next two weeks.
Another frost
such as that of recent date would in
jure the apple crop.

Forest Grove— President W . N. Per
rin has left for the* East on an extended
trip in the interests of the Pacific Uni
versity. H e w ill visit Chicago and
other Eastern cities, and w ill not re

In

*
“ We were never more encouraged
over the prospeets of the university
than at present.
Our finances w «
never in a better condition and every
thing indicates an increase in the
school’ s endowment in the near future
Although I do not wish to make a defi
nite statement, I believe that we w ill
erect several buildinga before long.
W e are planning to build one of the
largest and best equipped gymnasiums
in the Northwest. We also look" for
ward V« a new science hall and w ill
provide a building for the exclusive
use of the literary societies and other
student organisations as soon as possi
ble.’ ’
U nion P acific
La Grande—-A t a special meeting of
the city council held in the council
chambers for the consideration of the
many plans submitted for the $25,000
city hall, .thoee drawn and adopted by
J. L. Batler, a La Grande man, were
selected. The building w ill be two
stories high, not 'including the stone
basement, 83x01 feet. A ll the offices
w ill consist of a suite of two rooms.
The offices of the water superintendent
and city recorder w ill be 'provided with
roomy vaults for the proper protection
of records. This w ill be one of the
finest buildings of the kind in Eastern
Oregon.
