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.

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

torrential rains, flooding the rivers and
causing additional losses.

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.
