Oregon Yellow Newtowns have this year received more free advertising than ever before. For the past two or three years thoy have sold at higher prices in English market than any other Yellow Newtowns. 'Die present season the poor crop of applet) in Enu land and the comparative failure of the Yellow Newtown in thol'ajaro val ley Cal., has remitted in phenomiual prie.es of Oregon Newtowns in Great iiritain. An Kdlnbiirg paper recently report ed that Oregonn Newtowns were sell ing in that city at a guinea a ll0X Hood Kiver Newtowns havo recently boon Mold in London at -2h to '.Ms per liox, according to reports Kent from that city. The Medford Mail reports that Hon. J. 1). Olwell, of Central Point, Or., has received notice of sale of a carload of his Yellow Newtowns in London at '20s per box, equivalent to fcl.tkl per box f. o. b. cars at Med ford, Or. The Fruit (irowers' union of Mod ford, Or., recently received reportH of sales in London of Yellow Newtowns grown by M. L. Pellett, Inures which uet M. Pellett 2.80 per box. Such prices as the Oregon growers are receiving this year are not expect ed often, and yet for the past ten years here has not been a season in which first-class Yellow Newtowns have not brought a high price. The growers of the Yellow Newtown should have a higher price for It than for most varieties because it is not an easy variety to raise to perfection anywhere, and there are comparatively few places where it can lie raised of the quality which is required for an export apple. There has been some thing of a boom in the hus.luoss of planting Yellow Newtowns in Oregon for the past two or throe years. There is not so much danger of producing an over-supply of such apples as are now selling in Ureal ltritain at ?." per box as there is of raising a large quantity of apples of inferior quality which will lie shipped to distant mar kets and injure the reputation of Ore gon Yellow Newtowns. This has al ready happened in Pajaro valley, Cal., am) tile apples from that valley no longer command the relative prices in London at which they once sold. Klickitat Teachers to Met.

(Jeorge K. Will Not IHetule to Javne. Andrew Allen Jayne of this city, menilior of the lower house from Wasco county, declares (Irmly that he win give no pledge to Mr. Cham berlaiu us to what he will do should the governor call for his services at hii extraordinary session of the Oregon legislature. Kcprcscutatiretlayuo also has some views on the normal s.'hool question, lie says: " 1 should not favor a session of the Legislature on the grounds that any high crimes or misdemeanors have lieeu committed in the session just closed, nor do I know that 1 would vote diiferently when it came to mak ing an appropriation on the several normal schools of tiie state. While 1 lioliove there should lie one well supported normal school in the state, located at tiie State University and forming a part of the state's higher educational system, 1 do not Ixdieve the time is ripe to do away with the four normal schools at one swoop. It would work an iujury to the young meu and women preparing themselves for teaching, and thus affect the etllciency of our public school work. "In the course of time I hope to see the four normal schools of the state reduced to one strong institu tion, for the education of those who propose to fit themselves for school teachers. Teachers' salaries should then lie raised, and a normal school education lie made one of the require ments of all teachers." Snake Itlvcr Fruit Ik Damaged. The next meeting of the Klickitat County horticultural association, to be held in Ooldendale on Saturday, April 1, promises to be a thoroughly good one, says the Agriculturist, lie sides the speakers mentioned last week, it Is expected that State Com missioner Von lloldebeck will lie pres eat. The commissioner says that fruit prospects aro somewhat different this year than at any time in the past. That is the condition all over the state. The winter has been very pe culiar this year. In places where heretofore has tieen the least frost, this year has been the worst. The unusually cold weather in the region of Vineland, in Asotin county, as well as up tiie Snake river, has in jured, in localities, such fruits as grapes, peaches and cherries. In some places in the districts that I have mentioned the thermometer ranged as low as 10 degrees lielow zero. The prior warm weather had dovelopod the buds to such an extent that all of the peach buds, especially, are injured this year. Cherries and grapes will also lie scarce as a result. A Night Attack. IjisI night the little daughter of Mrs lirown, as she was sweetly and peace fully slept in her little bed near the window was attacked by a dcathdcitl ing demon known as Croup Whooping Cough, and but fur the timely use of Kennedy's Laxatile Honey and Tar, which she always keeps handy, the lite of the little one might not have been saved. Kennedy's Laxative Tar and Honey is different from all of the old-time cough syrups and is tiest for children because it acts on the bowels, It Is harmless, safe and certain. Con tains no opiates.

After watch ing them for some time the mother's curiousity prompted her to speak, "What are you playing?" "We are playing house," said Wilbur. "Blanche and I are mother and father, and Thomas is the child." "And w'lat does .lack do?" "Sh, sh! he isn't born yet." l.ippin cott's. WKATUKK FOR KKIIKl'ARY. The following Is the report of l'. M.

Allen writing in the Salem Statesman says: I think there is some unnecessary appn 1'cnsiou expressed through the colli; .!.. of your paper in regard to the flue, i.ij.ny weather and its effect on the fi : ;t crop. My observation and e. mi nee covering a period of about IK ji.as, dining which time I have been nmewl.nt interested in fruit growing, is quite contrary to the pessimistic utU.rances uf some of your weather editor?:. Dining nil this period the most disahlrous results have followed cold, lackward springs and the very best and largest crops have invariably followed the earliest springs. speak particularly with reference to the prune crop, as that is the fruit which I have boeu inter ested. The danger to this crop, and, in fact, all other fruit crops, is not so much from the frosts as from cold rainy weather about blossoming time and we aro just as likely to have that kind of weather in April or May as m February or March, as every Oregon ian knows. The most complete failure of the prune crop during the period men tioned was in 1NH0. That year, it will lie remembered, we had, cold rainy weather up to about June 1(1. And when the prune trees were in full Mourn about May 1, about two weeks later than ordinary, we had snow and rain continually during the blooming period. In my prune orchard that year containing 'JO acres, there was not one bushel of prunes all told The best prune year, or fruit year of any kind, for that matter, was 188!), and many old residents of the Will amette valley no doubt remember what a remarkable spring and summer that was. There was very little rain that year after January 1st, and from mid after January 1, of that year until April, there was not a drop of rain and the roads became quite dusty by March 1. Along about the first week in April, or, perhaps, the middle of April, it be gan raining and we had an abundance of it the remaining spring and sum mer months to make excellent crops of all kinds. Put when the rains came they were of the warm, balmy kind that made vegetation of all kinds fair ly boom. Forget About Your Sloinacli.

The Hidor City Herald, which has had many tips and dow ns during the past few years, has again changed hands. It was the property of Leslie Palliet for a while and was used to promote the White Swan mine. When Pallitt got into ditllculties with the government for swindling operations he disposed of the Herald for a gong. Carl Hoe, former owner of the Wal lowa Chieftain, purchased the paper. He has just sold to Neil J. Soreiiseu A' Co., the milling firm of Sumpter.

The Scientific American cives the following method of disposing of stumps: In the autumn bore a hole one or two inches in diameter, accord ing tit 1hn .firth nf tk aliiiiin cally in the center of the latter, and about 18 inches deep. Put into it one or two ounces of ealtpotor ; fill the hole with water and plug close. In the ensuing spring take out the plug and pour in about one-half gallon of kerosene oil and ignite it. The stump, it is claimed, will smoulder away to the very roots, leaving noth iug but ashes. Must Arouse the Itoy Himself. Olympia Recorder. The enterprising town of Prosser is endeavoring to legislate tho cigarette habit out of its midst. A penalty of j'J5 dangles above the head of the youth who puffs the seductive tube, and dire cousequeuese await the dealer who sells to minors. Yet it is a safe bet that the youthful fingers will be no less stained, or the youthful breath less tainted the coming year than heretofore, unless the victims of the habit are influenced by other means than the penalty of the law. The New Jersey governor's recom mendation of prayer as a means of combatting trusts may be viewed as a poor jest, but it was seriously meant. One cannot be spiritually or morally regenerated by legislation. A $'J5 penalty may drive tho Prosser boy to secliision iu indulgence in his cigarette and make a bootleg vender of the dealer who supplies him, but the pungent incense will go up undi minished while the youth is schooled iu cunning evasion. Something must be aroused within the boy strong enough to exercise the habit before reform can come. A dozen eastern cities can give Prosser the result of experience with prohibitory legisla tion against the cigarette. The Right Name Is lteWitt.

Williams. j Will Net Delay the (ireat Work, i The land sharks have long deferred the repeal of the iniquitous land laws, j and in the western states an appeal is made that the reclamation work would j suffer. Senator Paris liibson answered j this point very effectively in a recent j peach in the United States senate, when he said : We are told that these land laws acts, I if repealed, will very greaty impair the i national irrigation fund, and this is : strongly urged as a reason why they 1 should be maintained, notwithstanding their unwise and unjust provisions. As well might we assert that highway robbery should be tolerated with whenj ever the property taken is appropriated i to charitable purposes. j But I am one of those who do not he- j lieve that the great national work of j reclaiming our arid lands, now begun, i will cease or be materially delayed if, we take the steps required to save the public lands for homeseekers. There j is now in the treasury approximately 120,000,000 to the credit ol the fund, j Should the desert-land and the coin mutation clause of the homestead act j and the timber and stone act be reoeal- ed at this session of Congress, the lands already filed upon would probably in-; crease the fund to fj;tt),000,000, and there-! after the sales of mineral lands, in- i clmling coal lands and the sales of tim ber lands would go to the credit of the irrigation fund. As everv dollar invest ed in irrigation work bv the interior department will lie returned again to the Treasury as fast as the reclaimed lands are sold, I can not see that we shall fail to obtain the results sought for in the national irrigation act.
