It 20 ...27 15 2 90 3 45 2 60 The prune crop of this valley for the past season has about all been disposed of and the price realized by the grow ers has been very satisfactory Indeed, although jnot high, and the prospects for the future are much brighter than ever befre for h. permanent, steadily growing demand fat good paying prices. During the pant season French buy ers entered the Oregon market to a con siderable extent, (buying French or- I'e tlte primes for J ehipment to France giving preference to Oregon prunes ov er thoe produced in California even to paying a higher price for them. W- T, Jenks, of H. S. Gile Sc. Co.. was yesterday shown an extract from the Evening Telegram commenting on Or egon prunes shipped to France, and giving an interview with Secretary Lamberson of the State Board of Hor ticulture and 'said:. , "Those' thirteen carloads of prunes were sold by the Willamette Valley Prune Association, and we could have sold, more, as the French buyers gave us orders for all we could pack up to a certain date. "Last season the French market was injured somewhat by some growers up the valley , who sold to French dealers, and In packing, filled in the center of the ..boxes with small,, unmarketable prunes, putting large graded prunes in the too and bottom of the boxes. Such practice as that would soon spoil the new market . entirely- We expect a good market tn France the coming sea son, even though France may have a good crop this year, as they are very fond of Oregon prunes. The French buy only Petite prunes, and all our Ital ian-prunes are sold In England and the Eastern states. The English de mand Is growing for our product. Last season It required three months to ship prunes from Salem' to Bordeaux, In France, owing to delays In transit, but they should go through In about thirty- five days, and this would be much more satisfactory to French buyers." The article above referred to as hav ing been taken from the Evening Tele gram, is as follows: French buyers are entering the Ore gon prune market. Letters have beenj received by French Consular Agent Henri Labbe from French dealers in this staple, stating that they are de sirous of ..putting themselves In com munication with growers here. The reason for this lies in the excellence of some thirteen carloads of prunes bought In Salem last year and shipped to France to supply deficiencies caused by the failure of the crop there. Secretary of the State Board of Hor ticulture Lamberson states that owing to this eagerness on the part of Euro pean buyers many of toe prunegrow- ers who had become, discouraged, have taken heart again and are looking for ward to most favorable conditions. "Apples are main staple, liowew," said Mr. Lamberson. "and there is a lance planting of new orchards through out the state, i Cherries, too, are being fafred. and the prospects are for a first-class crop all around. The pres ent. weather has advanced the season very , much", but the cool nights have been a protection In that they have pre vented blossoming. The main danger is a protraction of cold rains during the blossoming season. This prevents pote ntiation. . ' "Besides the market for prunes In Europe there is a world-wide one Tor apples. Oregon: apples have tt estab lished reputation, and this has reacted favorably upon the cultivation of them and led to an Improvement In quality." Reports from all over the Hate, ac cording to Secretary Lamberson. point to a crop that, will break records. Fur ther, some European buyers are already making contracts for next year, thus Insuring the quick movement of a large part of the output. STRIKERS WAIVE DEMANDS. CHICAGO. March 6.

V Many new dwellings are now, even In March, being constructed and reconstructed. ; The Gall Hotel Is having a new wing built three stories high, which win greatly Increase the much needed room of this popular hos telry. Thoushlthe building of a large mw hotel Is much needed in Dallas, and will probably be built this season. The Dallas City Bans: building is now being remodeled. The old vault was removed and rebuilt, ten feet fur ther back, thereby giving more-room in the counting room and lobby. The laying of the tile floor was commenced today, and soon the marble bases will be set, surmounted by old oak wain scotings. Thej main rooms will be set with panelled. Steel ceilings of the very latest design. and the . furniture and counters of plate glass will be of the most elegant ind substantial character. Mr. Misner, iof Albany, has rented of Abel Uglow a business house and will this month put in a large stock, of crockery a d .-notions, and also Jacob son & Bird; of? McMWnville. have closed a contract w.fth Mr, Uglow for a. fine store room in his new brick block on Mill street. The fixtures will be, put in at once and a lare stock of gents' fur nishing goods will be opened up for the Spring trade. ; Collecting the Taxes. DALLAS, March 6. (Statesman Special.) Sheriff Ford and "deputies report the taxes coming In " rapidly. Many are paying and ; receiving the rebate. The total county and state tax for Polk county is 26 mills, corpor ation and school district taxes to be added in ' the towns, and where any school,, tax Is levied by the district; In Dallas 33 mills is the total. One thing is noticeable the people are paying taxes more cheerfully than last year, and do not compialn of the rigors of the new law as at first,, seeing that it has done great good for the financial condition of this county. Harvey Club, on the Question: Is a Complete Scientific Explanation of th Phenomena of Life Possible? Dr. Loeb said: "We cannot allow" that-there Is any obstacle In our complete control, and in . consequence our knowledge of life phenomena. We recognize that there are still great gaps In our control of life -phenomena, and that for the pres ent there Is no danger that the "biolo gist will not have an opportunity, for important discoveries.'

In Favor of Primaries. Dallas, March 6.---The voters of Polk County seem to .be In favor of a new deal on the election of Mr.. Tongue's successor. It is generally remarked that primaries should be held, and the nomination be made by s the regular convention plan, and that the -noml nation or a candidate by the convention would be an unwarranted proceeding and a detriment to the Republican party throughout the district. And that Polk County, with ; her narrow margin and in the light of the Sena torial contest, will have a job at the very best. ! To Earn ths Subsidy, -..Dallas, March 6. Farmers need rain and are complaining that the cold dry weather is not good for the growth of grain. But it is said to be an ill wind that blows no one any good.
