C. O. W hite, of M yrtle Creek, will plant 100 acres to apples on a tract of fine river bottom land near that place. The two large companies above men tioned are located on thef main line of'the Southern Pacific, 12 miles north of Roseburg. Most of the trees are Spitzcnberg and New tow n Pippin ap ples, and Barlett pears. There are also quite a number of walnuts, as well as prunes and peaches. One of the largest prune orchards in southern Oregon is located in Looking Glass valley, eight miles southeast of Roseburg. It is one mile square, and the rows are all in perfect alignment, making a pretty sight in the spring when the trees are in bloom. This orchard is owned by George Marsh. There is also a tract of fruit trees comprising over 100 acres in Chenoweth park orchard, near Yoncalla. The W inston fruit section comprises over 200 acres of apples, pears and prunes. It is from one of these orchards that the record crop of the year was har vested, bringing the owner $2400 per acre. This seotion also produces some of the finest pears in the world. D o u g las county is first in the market al most every year with strawberries. W hile this section is known to be the best protected from frost add drouths, there are seasons when there are not extremely full crops in all parts of the county, but a total failure is not known. Report Road to Extend. Salem.— The sale of 510 acres oi agricultural land south o f this city a few days ago to a prominent Portland business man has created the impres sion that the extension of the Oregon Electric southward is practically cer tain. The sale was made to A. H. Bir- rell, and, though the consideration was mentioned as only $10, it is under stood that the real consideration, was in the neighborhood of $ 2 2 , 000 . The ranch sold was the Sarah E. Kleppin place, on what is known as the Slough road. It is presumed by those who have discussed the matter that Mr. Birrell had studied the situation and became convinced that the Oregon Electric will be extended. da it gives to the reformers revolutionaries RELIEVE SUFFERING Work In Eartbfukt District Is Reduced to System.

Los Angeles, Jan. 4.— The official reports on the first summer’s field cul tivation o f the Burbank thornless cac tus were issued today by the Western Empire, an agricultural journal which has had charge o f extensive experi ments on the new forage planL W ith the exception that one lot planted in the Indio desert nearly per ished from the effects o f excessive al kali in the soil, the average results are pronounced successful. The largest testa were made upon the hardy thorn less varieties, which Luther Burbank collected from all parts of the world, and o f these varieties large quantities will be distributed this year to those who w ill make experimental tests with them. The report concludes that thornless varieties have to be fenced to protect them from rabbits, but that the early fears expressed that they would revert to the old habits o f growing thorns have been dispelled by this year’s re sults, as the propagation is not from seed, but from cuttings, which, accord ing to all botanical law and hiatory, rigidly conform to the features o f the parent planL The uses as a fodder for the fam ily cow and for poultry upon the small tracts where personal attention is giv en aeem to have been fully established. Rome, Jan. 2.— Although graphic stories are coming into Rome o f the horrors in Southern Italy and Sicily, these are but repetitions o f individual tragedies already recorded. W hat chiefly concerns the government and the people ia the progress that is being made toward the relief o f those who have suffered by the dread visitation. Considerable advance in this respect has been made at Messina, where, ac cording to official reports received here, the supply service ia beginning to work satisfactorily. The different regions of the coast have been allotted to vari ous warships and other shipe as centers, from which torpedo boats and launches may distribute rations and water to the different village«. Slight shocks were felt in the earth quake zone today, completing the rain of the crumbling buildings. These shocks kaep up the alarm o f the popu lation. One quite severe shock w as felt at 8 o’clock in the morning and another at 9 o'clock. Fires are atill burning, although much rain baa fallen. The latest investigations on both sides o f the straits make it certain that many more than half the population o f the coast towns and villages have been killed. Professor Ricco, director o f the obeervatory at Mount Aetna, esti mates that the victims of the earth quake exceed 200,000. Hundreds o f dangerous criminals have been arrested by the troops and arre under close guard. Great relief waa felt here when the announcement was made that the Lipari islands, which were reported to have disappeared with their population o f 28,000, suffered little or no damage from the earthquake.
