Through the efforts o," Deputy Rattle Wanlen T. O. Parker two jonng men were recently arrested near Oerva's, and -tiucd upon la-ing convicted in tiie justice court. This should act s a warning .-brothers, but it does not seem to. as scores of men in all parts of Marion e .nitty are daily bhxiting Jionge-iiaii pheasants" and oilier birtls at will. It is said that pheasants are now very scarce, there ln-iiig less at this season of the year than in many years,-when these birds .shouM be numerous. Tiie reason for this slate of affairs is the illicit slaughtering of the birds out of sea son. The ditliciilues encountered by the game, warden and his deputies is aptly illustrated In the following, as told by the Portland Telegram, showing the fruitlessness of the work of Deputy iJanie W'afdeu l'rettyman. of AVash ingtrfn county, in his -fl)ris to appre hend offeinlers: -Deputy .

Or.. ept. r.i The Willamette Valley Prune limw ers Assiciation, through its directors, has negotiated and closed up deals with eastern firms which praetieally dispose of all the fruit grown by the niembt-rs, of the Association and will amount to about-' twenty car loads. The Association has acotuplishci a great deal in securing such prices, as it hs been aide to command this year. The price paid for the fruit sold inakes this year's output the most remunera tive fruit crop that has been raised by the meuilers of this organization, and they are loud in praise of the work i he Association h-a-t accomplished. u so successfully disposing of their fruit. The fruit sold will bring the growers i little over 4',4 cents per pound. The California Fruit Growers have n. Hired a price for their product, which has a very favorable influence cu the market for Oregon fruit. - The Oregon prune is much larger th:tu that grown in California and the demand for larse prunes is always strong, but esjiecially is it so this year from .the fact that there Is au immense crop of fruit in California, but it in very small. There will probably be no ;;is to -I'.is to the pound, and the prutrortiouj of 4ds to 5s is very light ami williuot le half of that of last year. The large majority of the crop is Puis and over. lhe price set for Santa Clara county ts o cents, and for .Napa, Sonoma, Pasalia, and orhcF outside districts, about to i; of a ceuL h.'ss.

The directors of the California Cured Fruit Association relieved the sus pense of the prune growers and the Kastern distributors yesterday after noon, by naming opening prices for prunes. The directors have lieett en gaged at tliis unenviable task for the p.-ist week or more, and it is a ma iter for coiigratuiatiou that they have seen treir way d ar to a basic price so high as :i cents for the four sizes. There are growers: perhaps, who have expected a higher price, bur certainly none who are familiar with the situa tion could have done so. Had the as sotialiou not ben organised, it is al most certaiti that prices would have been down to 'J'i: or even 2 cents, as California is liarvesiing a large crop and th Furopeau crop equals if it does not exceed the average.
