Miles found that his new fruit evaporator was not of sufficient capacity to evaporate his big crop of pears and prunes. With all the new orchards coming into bearing next year the evaporating capacity must be about doubled in this community if all the prunes are taken care of. Taft, the Portland real estate man who some three years ago bought out land of H.

The total mileage is nearly 1600, of which 650 is operated by the South­ ern Pacific, 550 by the Oregon Rail­ way & Navigation Company. Wm. Faber, an Albany brewer and extensive hop buyer, who proba­ bly knows what he is talking about, says it costs 5 cents a pound to grow, pick and bale hops. According to the same authority it takes li pounds of hops for a barrel of beer, and there, are 600 or 700 bales consumed in Oregon. He estimates the Oregon crop at 80,000 bales. The 3 year-old child of G. W.Pierce of Independence was burned to death dying at 5 o’clock Saturday morning while the family was away from home. The Pierce children and others built a bonfire of dried leaves in the back yard, and a burning leaf lit on the dress of little Ada Pierce and, in a moment, she was enveloped in flames. The brother, aged 11 ran into the house and brought out a quilt, and, wrapping it around the girl put out the flames, but not until her body and one arm were shocking­ ly burned. Her clothes were burned off, and the flames which she inhaled caused her death. Census returns by counties so far reported make possible the following comparisons: Counties. 1890.

After being out only 40 minutes, the jury impaneled in Grant’s Pass to try Charles Fiester, charged with murdering his wife, brought in a verdict of murder in the first degree. The defense tried to prove Fiester was insane. Fiester drowned his wife in a hole of water near the railroad track, May 19th. The crime was committed in the presence of their three young chil­ dren. After the murder Fiester sent the children to Merlin, four miles further on, to tell the older boys what had happened. The diffi­ culty grew out of family troubles of long standing. Fiester went to Grant’s Pass later in the evening and gave himself up to the sheriff. The pair had been separated for a long time, but a reconciliation was effected and the two, in company with the children, ware on their way from Grant’s Pass to Merlin, where Fiester was logging. Mrs. Fiester had promised to go there and keep house a week for him. After going about five miles on the way, a quar- It’s just as easy to try One Minute Cough Cure as anything else.
