The fruit crop of this year has been exceptionally good, but very little has yet been received for exhibition. This is an im portant industry in this section, not particularly from a commer cial standpoint, but for the home. People should know they can raise all the fruit they require for home use and of very best quality.

It was the opinion of the Commission that a trout hatchery should be es tablished at Lake Odell, on the headwaters of the Deschutes, and in all probability this will be put in operation next summer.

The State bounty on bobcats is $2, but an additional $1 will be given by the commission for such scalps. The bounty on cougars was raised from $10 to $25: timber wolves from $5 to $25. With these in creased bounties it is believed that many woodsmen this winter will take up trapping and hunt ing, as it will prove profitable to them. They will be able to make a good sum from the sale of fure in addition to the scolp bounty.

Jle is still assisting, knowing that full pros perity for his railroad cannot come except through greater prosperity to its patrons. Mr. Hill's brain is big enough to know that cows and railroads are interdependent. He has just entered upon one of the most in- j teresting demonstrations in beef; and milk production ever con ducted in America. Twenty- nine dual purpose cattle, pur-, chased in Great Britain, are now on Mr. Hill's farm near St. Paul. They are milking shorthorns and the average price of tin- animals' was more than .$5K) otoh. He expects to prove that more nrnnuu ln ituwlit m nn ' mviiij .! wv mnuv was i, average farm with a breed of cattle which will produce a large amount of milk and beef, than with a special beef breed which produces little milk or a special dairy breed which produces little beef. The plan of the experiment is in controversy with the in sistence of most dairymen and most beef producers, Both have long contended that the single purpose cow is the more profit able. This has been especially true among dairymen, although some ot them nave always ue- fended the cow of dual purpose. In any event. Mr. Hill takes into consideration the growing scarcity of beef, a ponderous fact that tho average producer has not yet taken into account. Mr. Hill is convinced that the new conditions will demand new methods, and that the cow that will yield both beef and milk will yet be proven the more profitable. Mr. Hill lays no claim to an unselfish interest in the fanner's welfare. He says his railroad depends upon the territory which gives it tonnage, the tonnage in creases only when th prospering. It of railroading that many rail road minds do not understand. and done with the flour mill what prices are justified. The prOpOtltlon to add a pack ing plant will also be carried out in the immediate future. This will also udd much to the country in providing a market for a home product that was feared would not be profitable. The large number of hogs and immense1 amount of grain was an item that could not be figured as an asset right at present, hut with J the establishment of a packing plant the growers may toed their : -in plus grain to the hogs and turn them oir to a good ad vantage. However, the pack-; ing plant will not be established , at once, as it will require more Capital than has been subscribed and besides, suitable quarters and an experience man to handle it. I his will be arranged at as early a date as possible. The new stockholders of the mill are all substantial tanner.-. ' who are practical business men. lit has long been the desire oi some oi tnese men io nave an i interest in the mill and they will do what they can to co-operate l with the producers of this county ; in consuming as much of home produced crops as possible. It has been suggested that an eleva tor be established in this section I to care for all the grain and this j will be done in the immediate future. It may not be practical just at present, but with the railroad in the Valley it will be a success and then there will likely be more than one. However. M most of the grain now grown is in this section of the country the lust one will be put up here. As soon as it is ascertained where the railroad people desire it a right-of-way for the road to Burns will be secured and it is the intention to have railroad transportation to and from I his place as early as from any of In r point la the Valley proper.

I From Our Portland Correspondent) Hopgrowers in Oregon this year are enjoying the unusual combination of big crops and high prices, the yield being one of the finest the state has ever had and the market is advancing at the rate of one to two cents par day. The demand at the present time is largely from Europe, English buyers, espe cially being eager to stock up while the price is within reason. .So far. American buyers are making little effort to buy, al though it is known that many of them have contracted hops to the brewers at prices considerably below the present market. Ore gun's crop is probably the beat of any hop growing section oi tne world, and as it is conceded that the total world crop for this year will fall many millions of pounds below the average annual con sumption, tho only worry of the Oregon farmer is that he may be induced to sell too soon. It is freely predicted that the prica win go above au cents witnin tne next few weeks. The coming annual State Fair al Salem, September 29 to Octo ber 4. promises to be by far the best ever held in the state. Hun dreds of attractive cash priies are offered for the best oroductB in all lines and competition for the various premiums will cer tainly be extremely keen. Frank K. Lynn, president of the Oregon Jersey Cattle Club has offered a silver tea set as prize for the best Jersey heifer under one year of age, and the club which he represents offers a similar prize for the best bull calf. The ani mals must be bed and owned by members of the club. The young people are to have their innings along with their elders, the man agement of the textile depart ment alone offers 54 cash prizes for work exhibited by girls un der 14 years of age.
