OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
"iTTTT
WHEAT OUTLOOK VERY BRIGHT
Cold Rains Have Damaged Prunes
but Farmers are 8atisfisd.
Albany t.inn county people are
watching the weather man closely these
uays, and yearning lor a "fair day'
flag. This is particularly true of fruit
growers, for the recent cold rains are
menace to the fruit crop.
As it I", Some injury haa been report
ed. A prominent farmer and fruit
grower of Linn county states that he is
of the opinion that cherries and prunse
are somewhat Injured already, particu
lariy merries. The cherry trees were
loaded with bloHsoms at the end of the
warm spring weather that marked the
closing days of February and the first
half of March, and the rain faugh
them at the Underet u. Then
couple of lii;ht frosts last week added
to the danger.
Prunes were not brought out so much
as cherries by the premature advent of
spring, ana may powubly erape injury
Although the trees seemed to be in
blossom at the beginning of the rains
they were in reality not generally in
full bloom, but were loaded with buds
that were just ready to burst but had
not yet exposed the tender inner part
to the weather. Under these circum
stances it is believed the damage will
bonoininal, if good weather comes
soon. However, it would not take
many days of chilling rains and winds
to do irreparable damage. It has been
slated that the prune trees were giving
evidence of such a heavy crop that it
would r ally be better for the fruit if
some of the embryo prunes were killed
by the cold.
Other brandies of farming are faring
well. An easy winter and early spring
places stock tn excellent condition, and
every class of stock looks well. Iairy
farmers are milking more cows,' with
better result than in years before at
this season of the year. Many farmers
will finish the winter in much better
shape than was anticipated after the
poor crops of lust year.
heat is looking tine, and, barring
some unforeseen freak of nature to de
stroy the present bright prospects, the
wheat yield of the valley will be far
alove the average. Fall sown what
can almost be seen to grow now, and
many farmers are preparing to put all
their remaining acreage in spring grain
Albany Mill May Ba Rebuilt.
Albany President Charles Coopey
and Secretary II. M. Grant, of the Ban-
nockburn Woolen Mills company, who
have been in Albany looking after their
proiwrty, which was recently almost
totally duatroyed by fire, state that it
is poHsible the mill will lie rebuilt.
The brick walls are part of them stand
ing and in good shape, and some of the
machinery can be saved. The big boil
er in the engine room was not damaged,
and altogether there is quite a nucleus
around w hich to start a new mill. The
company had a great deal of business
ahead when the fire occurred.
Independence Idea To Be Aired.
Independene -It is the purpose of
the Willamette Valley Improvement
league to call a meeting of the execu
tive committee provided for at Salem
last week to meet in Independence the
lust of April. Members of the Inde
pendence Improvement league are con
sidering the advisability of calling a
general meeting, to be held here at the
same time. If called, and it most like'
ly will be, the program will be an exec
utive session in the afternoon and a
banquet in the evening, at' which the
Independence idea will find expression.
Logs for Riverton Sawmill.
Riverton The Riverton sawmill,
which has been idle for some months
past, will begin operations m a few
days. E. J. Price, ot the Riverton
..umber company, and manager of the
mill at this place, has secured a large
number" of first-class logs f om the
upper tributaries of the Coquille. The
recent freshet is bringing down several
thousand logs which have heretofore
had no opportunity to float. Consider
able improvmeents are being made in
the Riverton sawmill, which it is ex
pected will increase its output.
Ranchers to Fight for Water.
Milton A maes meeting of 300 fruit
growers and citizens of Milton and vi
cinity was held in Alliance hall for the
purpose of providing legal advice and
the best methods to pursue against the
Peacock Mill company, which has
brought suit against the city of Milton
and all the irrigation ditch companies
and private property owners in this
alley, - to determine the amount of
water the Peacock Mill company shall
appropriate for the, purpose of running
their mills at this place.
Klamath People Raise Big Bonus.
Klamath Falls Klamath county has
raised $80,000 of the $100,000 bonus
for the Weed railroad extension to
Klamath Falls, and has obtained an
extension until May 1 to raise the bal
ance. The balance undoubtedly will
be raised, and the railroad connection
of this section with the outside world is
now assured.
FRAUD ON 8TATE.
Marlon County Orand Jury Will Invss-
tlgate Illegal Transactions.
eaiem inougn the statutes goverr-
ing the sale of state lands have been
violated ever since they were enacted,
the investigation to be made by the
Marlon county grand jury this week
will be the first attempt that has ever
been made to punish infraction of these
laws. Several hundred thousand acres
of land have teen bought illegally, and
the state school fund has been de
spoiled of several hundred thousand
dollars, but usually punishment of the
offense has been barred by the statute
of limitation before it was discovered,
or, the state having received the legal
price for the land sold, no one feels in
terested enough to start an investiga
tion. The offense which the grand
jury will investigate this week is of re
cent date, and the facts are so well
known that the transactions can
scarcely be overlooked.
Because the state in every instance
receives the price required by law, and
is not directly robbed, it has been easy
to let the infractions of law go with
scarce a passing notice. But indirectly
trie state haa been robbed and vigorous
action at the proper time would not
only have landed the offenders in pris
on, but saved many thousands of dol
lars lor the school fund. It is not
through the ordinary sales of school
land that the steals have taken place,
tor in an sum cases the state has re
ceived all the land is worth. It is
through the lieu land operations that
the manipulators of public lands have
made their fortunes at the expense of
the school fund.
Show Valley Live Stock.
Woodbtirn Two thousand people at
tended the livestock fair in this city
last Saturday. A splendid address was
delivered by Hon. James ithycombe,
of the State Agricultural college, of
Corvallis. Colonel J. B. Eddy, Hon,
J. Y . Bailey, state food and dairy com
missioner, and J. U. Hettlemier also
delivered lively speeches. Altogether
the initiation of this fair was a magnifi
cent success. President Fred Dose and
Secretary William P. Pennebaker will
proceed to tierfect a permanent oreani-
! t 1 aa
xauon. a inree nays lair oi all pro
ducts and livestock will be held during
next October.
To Bring Engineers Here.
Portland hilorU are being made to
have the American institute of Mining
engineers stop in 1'ortland this sum
mer, while en route to or from Alaska
at the close of the annual session at
ictoria, B. V. It may be possible to
have the members of the organization
cut out Alaska from their itinerary and
make a stay at the exposition. The
secretary of the institute has been ad
dressed on the subject, and it is hoped
tue desired results will be obtained.
The makeup of this organization is not
able.
Dog Poison in Bologna Sausage.
Independencs Dog poisoning has
become so common in Independence
uiai, no surprise is expressed when a
canine is observed in the throes of
death on the street or in a front yard.
Some of the most valuable dogs in town
have been poisoned and though there is
a standing reward of 1200, the poisoner
has not been apprehended. Bologna
sausage containing poison has been
picked up in different portions of town.
but it affords no clue as to the identity
or motive ot the poisoner.
Waiting for a Market for Coal.
Riverton The bunkers of the River
ton Mining & Development company's
mine have, been filled and mining oper
ations have been susnended awaiting a
vessel to carry coal. Manager Rouse
of the company is now in San Francisco
looking up the coal market and arrang
ing for the freighting of his coal. The
steamer Chico, of San Francisco, which
is now due here, will take the first
cargo of coal from this place.
Heavy Snow Now In Bohemia.
