Roseburg— Reports from the various
sections o f Douglas county indicate
that this year's crops will far surpass
those o f former seasons.
The semi­
cold wave o f last week was followed
by a warm rain, which has caused the
farmers and fruitgrowers to be jubi­
lant. Prunes and early fruits are said
to be in a most healthy condition, and
are far advanced for this time o f the
year.
Several fruit buyers have already
visited Douglas county with a view
to securing the season's yield.

“ Is ‘forty’ good?” queried Willie.
“ Good? Why, Salvator never worked

Speed appeared, partly clad, and
glowing with a rich salmon pink.
“ Good morning,” said Fresno po­

“ I came in to see how you

"So that was one of your California
jokes, eh? Well, I ’ll— ”
Speed moved ominously in the di­

him.
"W e put the ice In that bar’l, Mr.
Speed.”
"Y o u !”
W illie and Stover nodded.
“ Then let me tell you I expect to

young man coughed hollowly. "That’s
the way I caught ll once before, and It
wouldn't surprise me a bit If I'd be too
sick to run by Saturday.”
"Oh. no; you don’t get pneumony

It seemed that a battle must be m
progress behind the screen, for, min­
gled with the gasping screams of the
athlete and the hoarse commands of
the trainer, came sound* of physical
contact. The barrel rocked upon Its
scaffold, the curtains swayed and
flapped violently.
"Stand s till!”
“ It's—it’» as c-c-cold as Ice!"
"N ix! You're overheated, that’s all.”
“ Ow-w-w! Ooo-h-h! I ’m dying!”
“ It’ll do you good.”
“ He’s certainly trainin’ him aome,”
said Stover.
“ Larry, I ’ve got a cramp!"
“ It did harden him,” acknowledged
Willie.
“ What’s wrong with you, anyhow?”
demanded Glass.
“ It’a not me, It’a the w-w-water!”
Evidently Speed made a frantic
lunge here and escaped, for the flow
of water ceased.
“ It froze d-d-durlng the night. Oh-h!
I'm cold!”
“ Cold, eh? Get onto that rubbing-
board; I'll warm you."
An Instant later the cowmen heard
