ENT1RFGULP COAST IS SWEPT Seawall Built After 'Former Devatja vSavei" C.$ From Complete Destruction. Galveston, Ter., July 2. A hurri cane equaling in violence the ono that devastated this city nino years ago, awept In from the. Gulf of Mexico yes terday, did $100,000 worth of dam ago In the city proper, cost tho Uvea of bout a doxen people, cut off all rail and telegraphic communication frith tho mainland and then swept on Inland, loaving a wake of dot ruction kind Buf fering behind. Owing solely to th o warnings sent out by tho weather bureau that had first detected tho storm In tho Carib bean sea, tho shipping at tho port hero escaped damagv, all vessels being made, snug before the fury of tho gale atruek. Tho 17-foot seawall, built two years after the former devastation of tho city, kept the hugo waves from eating away the land as they bad done before, but this wall was not sufficient to keep the water from the lower streets, from whence it poured into tbe warehouse cellars, damaging thou sands of dollars' worth of goods. Ten people were drowned in the water that swept over a portion of Tarpon pier, seven miles from the city. Tbey wens washed from the rock promentorlca into tho gulf and the bodies have not yet been recovered. During the height of the gale a heavy dredge which was at work in the channel behind the Island, broke from its moorings and was awept into tbe steel railroad bridge that connects Galveston with the mainland. The impact of tbe blow at onco severed tel ephone and telegraph wires, and for a time fears were felt on the mainland that a repetition of the disaster of nine years ago had occurred. Sweeping westward, the tropical storm, wnicn naa neen central over tbe gulf for 24 hours or more struck Galveston shortly after 11 o'clock. The wind attained a velocity of 68 miles an hour, and heaved the waters of Galveston bay up against the island and flooded the section that bad not been raised. Tbe wster bseked up into toe main streets. The principal damage, however, was confined to the beach frcnt, where bath houses and pleasure piers were swept away, but shipping was not disturbed. A hurricane for East Texas was fore casted early in the day, and when the storm broke. Galveston was prepared. The inhabitants of the few scattered bouses sought safety, as did tho ves sels riding at anchor in the bay. Tbe fury of the storm soon abated and tho anxiety of those who entertained fears of another tidal wave were thus early relieved, so snort was the duration of the storm, that a Mallory line steamer, booked to start for New York shortly after noon, left on time. Bring Higher Price Than Thoio From Any Other State. Consul Gonerftl Robert P. Skinner, writing from Hamburg, Germany, do- tails facta relating to tho apple indus try of this country as reflected in tho prices received there, and shows that Oregon and Washington apples bring moro than those from any other states, tho scalo being in comparison with the California product as follows: State Per 1-bushel caso Oregon, Washington . . . $2.61(!t3.67 California l.C0(j2.Cl - 'As to the possibilities of tho cxten slon of thu npplo trado with Germany, the report shows that In 1003 Germany Imported 164,421 tons of applet,, of Which the United States supplied only 10,502 tons; in 1907 Germany import ed 181,457 tons, the Unltou States sending 9,229 tons. Germany enforces rigidly Inspection for the San Jcso scale, nnd this pest has been found on a number of ship ments from tho Pacific coast. Mr. Skinner says, however, that as a rulo American apples reach Uermany in good condition. Ho urges that caro bo exercised by all applo shippers' to freo their orchards from scale and all other pests, and then exercise constant super vision of thoir employca to inauro that the fruit shall be packed so as to rnako it pleasing to tho cyo as well as protect it ngs'.nat bruising while being trans ported. Hamburg Is the great apple receiv ing port. There, writes tho consul, honest and Impartial rules of salo are observed and the seller always receives what is his duo, tho market regulations and government inspection ha vine been developed in a manner to make It cer tain that always there shall bo no crooked work or unjust rejection of shipments. German fruit buyers have for years been sending thoir representatives to America to look over orchards and packing houses, and keep informed on the conditions of the industry In all Important localities where considerable Quantities of fruit are produced. These agents often go without making known their Identity, and thus obtain infor mation which might otherwise be harder to secure. Tbe report ofConaul General Skinner agrees with previous reports which have been sent to the government from abroad that Pacific coast apples now lead this country in all European marts. It likewise emphasizes the necessity of maintaining the present high standard, in order that the high prices now obtained may be main tained and tho applo industry reap the large profit which has been made. In the past years. OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST PRUNES SOLD GREEN. Salem Growers to Ship 30 Oars to Eastern Msrket. SalomA now era In the pruno busi ness of tho Wlllnmetto valloy was ush ered In, when tho independent pruno pool, representing about 2,000.000 pounds of fruit, practically decided to accent a proposition from the Karl Fruit company, of San Francisco, for about 30 car loads of green prunes, to bo picked ami shipped to the Eastern markets at onco. Tho price offered Is 40 cents per crate of 24 pounds, tho prunes to bo accepted and paid for at this rato bofore leaving Salem. Tho growors are told they will also pot all that the prunos bring In tho market over nnd obovo this figure. Each car will hold 12 tons. Tho Ens torn Washington and Idaho crop has been sold green for several years. Last year tna output at in section was 1,000 tons. This year there Is a light crop, Amounting to only about 350 tons, and thodenlrrs In green fruits aro seeking to mako up the de ficiency by buying Oregon's Italian prunes, which aro admitted to bo better than oithor the California or Washing ton products. Last year tho growers of Washington and Idaho realised 30 cents per crato of 24 pounds, or about 80 cants per bushel, lor tnoir green prunes, which the Salem grower con sider rooro profitable than selling the dried fruit Leading growers state that SO cars can be picked from tho orchards of the members of the pool at this time ana not decroase the output of dried fruit to anv extent, as the prunes that re main will attain n much larger growth than if none, wero removed. POWELL INVITED TO SALEM. WANTS STATE NORMAL. Hood River OltUsns Think They Have Site for Proposed School.

Prospects In Pacific Northwest Never . Better Than Now. According to information received during tho past week the Pacific VOLCANO BURSTS FORTH. Sumatran Villages Are Devastated by Eruption and Floods. VIctoris, B. a, July 22. News was brought by the Norwegian steamer Tricolor, which passed in today from Sourabaya, Java, of a disastrous earth quake on the west coast of Sumatra, tho second largest island in tbe Malay archipelago, in mid-June. According to the report received by the Tricolor 200 lives were lost. The earthquako followed an eruption of Mount Korintji, a volcanic peak 12,400 feet high, and inland 50 miles from Indrapura. Mount Korintji bas long been supposed to be extinct, its crater having been filled with a large lake. Following the eruption of tbe vol cano and the earthquake there were torrential rains, flooding the rivers and causing additional losses. Cloudburst Wrecks Ouray. Ouray, Colo., July 22. Fifty fami lies are homeless, seven business and residence squares are inundated and property has been damaged to tho ex tent of 130,000, as tbe result of a cloudburst that came upon this city this afternoon. Cascade and Portland creeks overflowed their bankB and bo came raging torrents through a portion of the town. Several persons were rescued from the windows of floating houses by men on horseback. It is be lieved two weeks will bo required to cjear away the debris. Duluth Damaged SI, 000, 000. Dulutb, Minn.. July 22. Duluth was flooded again tonight, the second j think that lower prices time within Z4 hours. The damage may reach 11,000,000, Nearly threo inches of rain fell in an hour and a half. Tbe water poured into the Bijou theater, where a performance was in progress, averted. and a panic was narrowly Northwest will produce almost four tiroes as many cars of potatoes as a year ago. This increase is startling, oven though the comparison with the pro duction of a year ago Is not exactly a correct showing, lor the 1908 crop was just about half of what was produced the previous season During the present season the acre age of potatoes in the Pacific North west, but more especially in Oregon, snows tne greatest increase lor one year ever noted hero. While a largo per cent of this increase was in the Willamette valley, most of tbe addi tional acreage was planted in Eastern Oregon. Eastern Washington and Idaho like wise have a very heavy potato acreage Increase and the production there will be much greater than during any pre vious year. Western Washington has a greater acreage of potatoes than a year ago, but the differonco In favor of this season Is not great so far as the additional planting ia concerned. Potato crop prospects could scarcely bo improved over what they aro in Oregon, Washington and Idaho this season, and the saxe is stated to bo tho caso in California. In Eastern Oregon, where some of the poorest showings were made in grain produc tion this season, the crop of potatoes never looked-better. In the Willamette valley, potatoes will show better quality this year than ever before and the sizes will bo lust that which gained for this section thj reputation of growing tbe very best potatoes in the entire United States. In seasons previous to the present one, tho potato acreage and production of Eastern Oregon, Washington and Idaho had little, if anything, to do with prices at Portland or San Fran cisco, but this season each of theso sections will be a strong factor in the market and unless all signs fall prices win reacu a .uwer uguro man I or somo seasons. Potato prices have been so high along the Pacific coast in recent years that tho trade can scarcely come to will again bo in effect. With such a heavy increase In acreage and a production so much greater per acre than normal, the sup plies will be fully as great as any de mand would justify, and that being tbe case, present out of line valuea will go out of effect. Fruitgrowers Want Demonstration on Pre-Coollng of Fruits. Salem S. G. H. Powoll, of the United States department of agricul ture. will bo the guest ot tho Salem board of trade and the Salem Fruit union, and will be taken out through the fruit country in an automobile. The department has been engaged this year In pre. cooling and shipping demonstrations at Puyallup and other Western points, and an effort will bo mado to have Mr. Powell sent to Salem next year to take up this line of work Just at this tlmo, when thn shipment of small fruits to the Eastern markets is being undertaken, it Is believed tho aid and experience of thn government experts would bo of grest value to tbe fruit industry in tho Willamette valley.
