Tba priao offarad la ' 40 cents per ermte of 24 pound, tba prauea to ba aeeaptod and paid for at -thl rate before leaving Balem. The rowan are told tba will also gat' ail that the prunes bring in tba market over and above this figure. Each ear will hold 12 tons. The Eastern Washington and Idaho arop baa been sold green for several year. Last year the output of that action waa 1,600 tons. This year . there ia a light crop, amounting to only about 860 tons, and the dealers in green fruits are seeking to make op tba de ficiency by buying Oregon's Italian prunes, which are admitted to be better tban either the California or Washing ton products. Last year tha growers of Washington and Idaho realised 80 cents per crate of 24 pounds, or about 80 cants per bushel, for their green prunes, which the Salem growers con sider mora profitable tban selling the dried fruit Leading growers state that SO ears can ba picked from the orchards of the members of the pool at this time and not decrease the output of dried fruit to any extent, as the prunes that re main will attain a much larger growth than if none were removed.

Klamatfa hi la Ranchers from the Silver Lake section, in Northern Lak county, are coming to Klamath Palls for their supplies. Already several of them have made tba trip of approxi mately 176. miles and have returned home with their wagons loaded with poviaiona purchased from the merch ants of this eity. The on drawback to getting all of the trade of Northern Lake county ia the poor condition -of the roads. At this aeaaon of lbs year it i possible to travel over most any kind of a trail, bat with the first light storms the roods become practically impassible. Northern Lake county uT anxious to do its trading hi thia eity and tba merchants of that section are willing to have their freight shipped va Klamath instead of Shanlko, the way it baa been coming. The distance ia about tba same, but tba freight rate ta lower. It is very likely tbet-stepa will be taken by Klamath eoui.tr to improve the roads to this isolated n Man. so that the vast territory In 1 remote parts of both Klamath and Lake counties will be enabled to get all their supplies from Klamath Pallet - Thia city ia so situated that the r rival of the railroad ba made it the natural distributing center for all Southern Oregon. The only drawback is tba road question. Klamath county is now prepared to build good roads at a reasonable cost, but the county ia too lartre to construct burn ways in every :tion In a abort time. The opening up of the Lake county traffic to 'Kla math Falls also make an opening for Portland wholesalers, who will have to bustle in order to meet the competition of Sacramento and San Francisco.

Rush Order Given for Railroad Con struction on Deschutes. . Tha Dalles, July 26. Atl yMtorday four-boras teams, hauling wagons piled high with railway camp equipment, have trekked out of Tba Dalles, bound for the Deschutes river. Beginning at 7 o'clock in tha morning 11 was not until 6 to the afternoon that the last of the 40 wagons shipped bare by Porter fires., railroad contractors, who. are supposed to be working for the Hill railway, wended its way to tba south east. Indications are almost conclusive that Porter Bros., intend to establish not two, but flv or sis camps, as if preparing to cover the so tire ground of the Oregon Trunk line surveys. They themselves did not know, was the re ply given by repreaantatWee of the Oregon Trunk to inquiries as to tba number of eampa and places of location. Every indication la that men and equipment were asenred hastily, and it ia believed here to b tree that the contractors only know bin general way where the camps will be established. Either a sodden decision to contest with Harrlmaa for the trams of Can bra) Oregon or tba sudden acquisition of knowledge that the Oregon Trunk would be down and out very soon unless it began construction is believed to be tba causa of the rushing of men into the Deschutes country. - Either alternative raise conjecture as to whether Porter Bros, are playing a hold-up game on Harriaan or are hack by James J. Hill or actually in tend to build railroad themselves. BLERIOT CROSSES CHANNEL. French Aeronaut Makes the 22 Milea fat 28 Minute. Dover, July 26. Louis Bleriot, ' the-l French aviator, accomplished the re markable feat of flying across tba Eng lish channel Saturday in 2S minute. The distance from his starting point, near Calais, to Dover, ts about 22 miles, and he therefore traveled at the rate of nearly a mile a minute.

He drove to the Lord Warden hospital, where be was greeted enthusiastically. A French torpedo boat destroyer followed the aeroplane, bat so swift was the speed of the machine that tha destroyer was soon left far behind. Although the start was made in calm weather, the wind aoon rose and a strong breese was blowing at the time of the descent, making the perform ance all the mora noteworthy. . The French torpedo boat destroyer arrived at Dover at 6 :60 with Bleriot's wife and a party of friends on board. By hi achievement Bleriot wins the special prise of $6,000 offered by the London Daily Mail. MOORS FIGHT SPANIARDS, Tribesmen Put Up Desperate Fight Against Trained Satdtors, Malaga, Spain, July 26. -The steam er Meoorouin, with 80 wounded aboard, arrived bar today from Melilla, where the hospitals are overcrowded. Pas sengers on the steamer declare that the resident of Melilla are panic-stricken, the succeaiss of the Moors giving rise to ths belief that tbey will swoop down on the city Itself.
