LOCAL BREVITIES Some of our sidewalks are in bad condition. Get busy Mr. Marshal. Sweet Home people, one and all will work most energetically at a fire. Several car loads of valley people spent the Fourth up in the Cascadia country. At all events, Sweet Home is now on the map and is destined to soon be a railroad town. ■ Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Thompson went up to Cascadia Wednesday morning. E. E. Taylor and son Orvil, of Lebanon, were in town Wednesday afternoon. M. E. Roth, of Goltra station, was doing business in this city last Tuesday afternoon. Jake Cowdrey says he is now without an occupation and is now ready for a job of most any kind. N. R. Watkinds, W. M. Watkinds and Joe Thompson started for Prine ville for a three-weeks outing this morning. Hon. M. A. Miller, collector of internal revenue of Portland, was a visitor at Sweet Home on the Fourth.

Peach Crop is Ample Northwest Items in For the first time in its history, Linn County this season has produc ed enough peaches to supply the local markets completely. Accord ing to D. W. Rumbaugh, county fruit inspector, it will not be neces sary to import any peaches this year. Linn County’s apple crop, how ever, will not be*much more than 50 per cent of a normal yield, according to Mr. Rumbaugh’s estimate, based on present indications. He says, though, that the quality will be first class.. The crop is “spotted;” that is, some orchards have a full crop and others practically none. The .50 per cent estimate, to the county as a whole and. not to all orchards. This unusual condition is due to difference in soil, which caused some orchards to bloom earlier that others. The Italion prune crop will also be light, according to the fruit in spector’s observation, and he fears there may not be more than 25 per cent of a crop. This; is due to thé cold rains which came when the trees were blooming. The Petite prunes, which bloomed earlier, miss ed the rains and are yielding a full crop. There is a record-breaking crop of plums, and all trees are loaded. The crop of pears will be good, too, ■ throughout this seetion of the state.
