Coon has been in corre spondence with berry growers' societies in the East and has gathered much valuable information In regard to how they do business and their prospects for the future. From the Lancaster, Ark., union it wus learned that 6,000 crates of straw berries were shipped last season and they expect to have 20,000 the coming season. Growers realized last year over $1. per crute. Acreage has, been in creased and the patches, having been Well cultivated, were not affected much by the drouth of last summer. All growers belong to and ship with the Lancaster horticultural association. The ussociatioii does not employ any ageii'ts to go out and hunt up markets. Their first car last year was shipped April 281 h. w. , , . ... ,: . ; ( 8areoxie, Mo, horticultural associa-' 11111 ICUUi iCU. iUUV AUK vaiu'uua vi ohihf berries were shipped last season and the average net price received by grow ers was 38 cents per crate. The drouth affected the strawberry patches iu this locality and not more than half a crop is expected next season, but the in creased acreage will bring the ship ments up to about the same as. last year. Sarcoxie sent out ten agents last season. . The secretary of the Columbus, Ky., association writes that 50 carloads of strawberries were Bhlpped from that iilui.t ln.r. apnann. unci although the drouth killed out many of the old patches, the increased acreage will bring the shipments up to about the same as last year, wheii growers real ized from $1 to $1.25 a crate. This union does' not send but agents. Their shipping season begins about the first of May. From Milton, Oregon, it was learned that growers were very much dissatis- jiea wnn inst year s returns auu many " have plowed up! their patches, and very few new plants have been set. No statistics concerning number of cases shipped nor prices received could be obtained.

Very few of the members of , this con vention are now living. . Leander Holmes, who, along with Dr. Adams and W. T. Matlock, represented Clack amas county, was afterwards elected a delegate to the national convention that nominated Abraham Lincoln for president, and sent his proxy to Ho race Greeley.' Greeley used his influ ence and his' vote against Keward and Lincoln's nomination was thereby se cured'.

A horticultural institute, under the auspices of the Oregon agricultural col lege, will be held in Hood River March 4th and 5th. A story is going the rounds about a hog that was taken to Tennessee before the war dying in that state at the age of 38 years. This must be a mistake. Old soldiers who served in Tennessee will tell you they left no hogs there to die of old age. The date for the state encampment of the Grand Army of (he Republic at The Dalles has been fixed on the 19th, 20th and 21st of April, 1898. Com mittees, consisting of prominent citi zens, have been appointed to make all arrangements for the gathering of the old soldiers, v " - . . The Glacier was, in error last week in stating that C. L.

Editor Glacier: I have just received a letter from Kentucky, giving the statistics of the offspring of my mother, who is still living at the age of 87, hale and hearty. The score stands thus: Seven teen children, 8 girls and 9 boys; 110 grand . children, and 76 great grand children, making the grand total of 203. If any mothers in Wasco county can beat this record let 'them speak right out iu meeting. W. H. Perky. ... .

It is a well known fact that there are thousands of our fellow beings in our "neighboring island of Cuba that are literally naked and starving, and that we may and can help them. The Junior League of the M. E. church have taken the matter in hand and have appointed Anna Jackson and Maggie Nickelsen as collectors. Please help them with what you can. V . Mrs. W. II.

The son may wallow in the mire and tilth of pollution, feed upon the husks of sin and infamy, and he will come back in becoming raiment and knock at the door of society; lie is eagerly re ceived within its portals; marriageable daughters simper and smile sweetly, and fond mammas are very gracious and kind in feeling it their womanly duty to encourage the fellow to do bet ter now that lie has sown his wild oats. But the prodigal daughter ah, hush! Breathe not her name within the pre cincts of society; Keep her out; push her to a suicide's grave, appeasiugyour righteous indignation, return to pelting and caressing the "dear boy" who lias made a start to get back to the path of rectitude. Teh to one he never comes back He knows he can sin and still keep his place in society. An Expensive Luxury. We wonder if the men who denounce the administration for suggesting the retirement of the greenbacks have ever given a moment's thought to the en quiry, What have these greenbacks cost us? There are three hundred and forty-six millions of them. To create the gold reserve for resumption in 1879 bonds had to be sold to the amount of $95,000,000. During 1894-95-6 $262,. 315,400 more bonds were sold to protect the snme reserve. Thus to keep $346, 000,000 of, greenbacks in circulation we pay interest on $357,000,000 of Indebted ness incurred by them. Not only this but we have already, since 1879, re deemed the whole sum nearly twice over while, practically, they are ajl un redeemed and outstanding yet. Jrook County Journal. Beauty.
