PRUNE CROP OF OREGON
President E. L. Smith predicts 1
Bountiful Yield.
Oregon prune growers will do
well this year as the crop is large and
the priees bid fair to bo good, accord
ing to President Smith, -of the State
board of horticulture.
'Ilooefor fully 80,000,000 pounds
of dried prunes as Oregon's output
this fall," he said, "and the
shortage in the eastern states and
Europe will cause good prices to pre
vail. The Oregon prune roaches out
farther into the world's markets every
year and this season they will be sent
into Eastern Canada where a good de
mand prevails." He thinks that
prune raising will prove a profitable
iudustry oue year with another,
where the grower has a large orchard
aud has good facilities for handling
the fruit By a large orchard he
means 40 acres aud upward. He
does not cousidcra 10-acre prune or
chard large enough to justify the
grower iu making pranegrowing a
business. Mr. Smith, however, is
not eugaged iu prauegrowiug himself,
but devotes his time to apple raising
In the Hood River district He pre
dicts a continued prosperity for Hood
river orchardlsts this Tear, as the
Hood River apple has now a name
abroad and the apple crop of the East
is nearly a failure. "Hood River has
enjoyed uninterrupted prosperity for
the past teu years," he said, "aud
there is every indication of its con
tinuance. Fully 60 per cent more
strawberries were planted this year
1I1111 lust, aud tho berry ezportations
will increaso as time wears on. " We
Aud th.it the Clark seeding is just the
strawberry for Hood River, as it is of
excellent flavor, uniform size, shape
aud color and bears shipping butler
than any other species. Hood River
strawberries do not find their way in
to Portland to any extent as they are
too high priced. Most of our berries

A FIRE BUG IN ASHLAND
Three Incendiary Fiiee
Started In One Night.
A fire bug was iu action iu Aahiand

was for a time greatly wrought up
over the occurrences. Three fires oc
curred that night, all of them of in
cendiary origin. The flrxt fire oc
curred about half Ht nine o'clock at
a store room of the Aahiand Manu
facturing Co. Strenuous efforts con
lined the fire to the building and pre
vented Its spreading to the adjacent
lumber piles.
A little later a fire was started
under the Hammond Packing house
hut it was seen in time to be extln
gu ixhed lx-fore any serious damuge
was done.
A little after 11 o'clock the barn of

PRODUCT FROM PRUNES
Excellent Vinegar Nay be Pro
duced From Refuse Fruit.
In connection with the announce
meat that John Chapman, of Wilbur,
Douglas County, has a carload of
prune vinegar for shipment is the fact
that Professor Pernot has at t he Ore
gon Agricultural College a large
qnautity of vinegar made by hitn from
refuse aud waste prunes, which is
now far above the requirements for
commercial use. It is the product of
a second experiment in vinegar mak
ing from refuse prunes, undertaken by
Professor Pernot three years ago.
As a vinegar it is perfect iu every
particular, save iu color, which is
dark, but this is regarded as an ad
vantage rather than a drawback. All
the counterfeit vinegars, many of
them made of acids and other mater
ials iujurions to health, are perfect in
color, resembling the pure cider vine
gars so closely in this respect that
only a cliemiat can detect the decep
tion. Thus, the darker color of the
prune vinegar, it is nrged, will be its
own stamp or purity, by reason 01
which as soon as the trade comes to
understand, the darker hue of the
prune product will be a eal advan
tage. A bulletin issued by Professor Per
not two years ago, si ving full direc
tions for the manufacture of vinegar,
and announcing that germs for the
purpose would be issued on applica
tion from the bacteriological depart
ment at the college, lias been widely
distributed. Both the bulletin and
the germs have been iu wide demand
from all parts of the state. The
bulletin gives tho expense of manu
facture, aud shows the possibility of
much profit to be derived from refuse
prunes.
OREGON APPLES WANTED
Their Superiority Is Acknowl
edged in London Markets.
It is stated that California now
ships about 850,000 boxes of apples a
year to Great Britain, and that with
more care iu packing the sales would
increase very largely. A number of
Oregon packers, who engaged iu the
business with the determination to
perfect packing, regularly outsell any
California apples by about 91 a box.
This is not because the apples are bet
tor, but because the packing 1b better;
but the result is that since but a few
Oregou packers are in the business,
ail of whom do good packing, Oregon
apples have come to be regarded in
the British markets as "better" than
Califoruia apples, Prestige earned iu
this way is well deserved, aud we
respectfully take off our hats to Ore
gon ; but it is disgraceful that our
Califoruia shipiwrs -should couiiml us
to do so. San Francisco Chronicle.

are as ragged as is tlie average nian of

so. in fact, that it is decidedly diffi

STATISTICS OF PLATINUM
Josephine County One of Few
Places Where It Is Found.
The report for 1902 to the United
States geological survey on the pro
duction of platinum in l'.KU is now iu
press. The report is in two parts, the
first being the report proiivr, by Dr.
Joseph Strnthers, aud the tecoud be-
iug a paper by Prof. J. F. Kemp on
platinum iu the Rambler mine,
Wyoming.
The production of platinum from
domestio ores in the United States
decreased from 1,403 ounces, valued
at 2,B2o, in 1901 the largest output
recorded by the geological survey
since 1H80 to 04 ounces, valued at
1,8U, the smallest production since
18U3. In connection with the plati
num thoro were also obtained from
the ores 30 firm ounces of iridium, as
against 353 ounces iu 1901. Tho do
mestic supply of platinum in recent
years has been obtained as a secondary
product chiefly from gold placer de
posits Iu Trinity and Shasta counties,
California. It is reported that the
metal occurs, though uot in com
mercially rich deposits, iu many
other gold placers of California, as
well as in Washington, Oregon, Idaho,
Montana, Colorado and Alaska. The
Rambler mine, Wyoming, continues
to attract attention, and during tho
year a considerable quantity of the
metal was collected, but not marketed
by the Waratah Minerals company at
Kerby, near Orants Pass, Josephine
county, Oregou.
The Russian sources of platinum
supply, which furnish about 90 per
cent of the total consumption of the
world, are comparatively limited.
The platinum bearing ' ores extend
along the eastern watershed of the
Ural mountains iu oastorn Perm and
a long the watershed farther south.
The imports of platinum into the
United States during 1902 were valued
a t $1,987,080, as compared with $1,.

FIERCE OREGON SALMON
Thrilling Adventure of a. Le.te
Arrive.! From the F.ail.
A new comer from tho east, lately
arrived in Grouts Pass, experienced a
novel adventure while taking in the
sights a few days ago, .according to
the story of one who was there. The
easterner in ciucittlnu was out on the
dam watching the salmon which were
Jumping iu a lively manner. Hud
duuly one huge (lull made a treniou
dous leap, precipitating itself with
violence against his legs. Iu conster
nation at tho nucxiiected assault, the
oasteuer kicked the scaly mounter
viciously, declaring that ho would
kill it In self defense. Ho had fished
u many waters, he said, but this was
the first time he had ever been at
tacked by a fUli. Many wonderful
tales have been written concerning
the ftorceuess of tho Oregon salmon,
but this incident is about as near a
demount ration of such tales as has
ever been seen.
The other day a salmon missed the
fUliway iu a wild leap and inialcd
itself upon a spike several niches iu
length, where it hung flopping and
'kicking" vigorously. A boy who
was near disentangled the null and
threw it bai'k into the river. He was
asked why he did not keep the fish
aud replied that hu would "get ar
rested" if he did.
GAMBLERS AIWAYS LOSE

Game Will Bee.1 Them If

Gambling is a ilrouo an eater
ithout being a producer. Hit four
men down at the round table with a
thousand dollars apiece, let them play
with something like equal luck, and
before they hardly realize! it all will
be "broke," tho money being dissi
pated, scattered, used for expenses,
for luxuries and necessities. Of
course we do not mean at one sitting,
but say fur several mouths of play.
An instance Is related as occurring
In Eugene not so many years ago,
Four men sat at th) round table ti nt
ing their luck at the great Ainerli an
game or poker. It was a monled
game, too, there being probably a
couple of thousand dollars 011 the
table, while a winning or losing of
several hundred dollars would not
have excited particular comment
among the gambling fraternity. All
night till the gray summer dawn, Ihe
game was played with varying for
tune. Then they quit.
The players took inventory. Each
of the four declared himself loxer.
How? In small amounts of course.

A FIGHT WITH A BEAR
Andy Hlckson Wine in Hand le

A wild, but quite well authenti

huge cinnamon bear comes to Kugeue
from tho region of the Three Sinters,
where a party consisting of Andrew
llieksoii, George Marx, Chris Marx,
Jr.. Ashley Stevens and others from

WARDEN MAKES ARRESTS
Boys
Held for Viole.ling
Le-w Are Released. .
FtoK
Considerable interest waa aroused
this week by a trial of several boys of
this city for Ashing at the Golden
Drift dam. Deputy Warden Williams
made a visit here in anannoouced
manner aud. late in the evening of
Friday he made a t ip to the dam
with a companion, . remaining there
several hours. , At a result of this
visit, Ed. Woolfolk, (Jlande Bardon
and Andrew Huggiua were arrested,
oharged with killing salmon witnlu
600 foot of a fish way, in violation of
the statute. Woolfolk plead guilty
and was fined 50. The other boys
entered ploas of not eoilty and their
trial, hold on Monday, resulted in
their release. Only two fish were
taken during the time the warden waa
present. One of theee waa a little
one, secured by Bardon who caught it
1th las hands and no one could
affirm lis variety. Tho other was a
31 pound salmon which was taken by
Woolfolk, The warden and hit com
panion, Mr. Wickman, ny that this
tiali was thrown -out of the water by
Woolfolk, - whereupon Bardon killed
It with a olub. This statement 1
strenuously denied by tho boyt who
say that tho fish was lying nearly
dead on tome dry poles, A number
of witnesses affirmed that the salmon
often leaped out on the polet where
they were unable to get back into the
water and that it it no unusual tight
to see a number lying dead as result.
This dam hat no regularly oou-
trncted fish war completed and the
flali past through a waste way of the
dam. There teemed to be a doubt as
to whether this could be considered
such fish way at the statute contem
plates. The evidence was not loch at
to satisfy the jury that a conviction
was iu order and the boyt were ac
quitted. Deputy District Attorney
0. L. Roamei handled the prosecution ,
and Hon. Goo. IL Durham waa attor
ney for the defense.
