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.

DALLAS. March i t. (Statesman
Special.) The building season Is on in
Dallas, sure. The carpenters are all
employed to the la3t man. and the town
is noisy with; the rattle of hammers
and . saws. 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. It suits
the fruit men, and the railroad manage
ment to Falls City says the weather
is Ideal .for road building, which suits
them, for to all appearances, they will
have a race as for life to complete the
road In the required time to earn the
Dallas subsidy. The time expires June
1, 1903 .
To Choose a Delegate.
Dallas, March 6. -The local contest
for a delegate to the State, Prohibition
Oratorical Contest will be held by the
Dallas College March 20. The Prohibi
