Who hns not heard the new arrival from au eastern state remark that "Oregon's fruits were beautiful to the eye, but how graud It would be if they only had the dclieato flavor of eastern fruit?" We have all heard it and so often that It savors of the "chestnut," if we ma" be allowed that expression. We speak for one who has consumed barrels of the choicest productions of the states far to the-Orient and when we say that for the life of us we are unable to see (or taste, rather) that it has a supeiior flavor we speak truthfully, it is a fact that the eastern states produce much fruit- beautiful to the eye, agreeable to the nose, and delicious to tho taste. But we And the fruits of Oregon of equal beauty, flavor and quality. True, tho stranger who tarries in the city, tastiug only the varieties found on thestrect stands, willgct no flattering opinion of our products. Such pears and peaches and apples and other fruits are plucked green, shipped to market, left to ripen in storage, and consequently aie vapid aud tasteless. From eating such specimens the traveler usually makes his decision. Having no opportunity to tasto it from the tree he supposes it all to be as that in market. For tho sake of argument we could admit that eastern fruit had n more delicious llavor(but it has not), and still we havo the balance in our favor. Is it uot better to have a large crop of a little less "delicately flavored" fruit every year of all varieties and at all seasons than to have an occasional crop of superior eastern fruit? Of course. And here wo have prunes by the ton, plums by the car load and cherries in abundance. Wny, since we havo tasted big, sweet Oregon cherries the little sour black cherries of the east have no charms and tho peaches ! In Missouri they raise nice peaches, sometimes, but there has been no crop since 18S2; they had no cherries this year; they never havo but a few plums; pears blight and area rarity ;and they don't know what prunes are. This all leads us to add that there is no other such a. country as Oregon and no valley like tho Willamette. A ROMANCE IN REAL L'FE. Two Fond Hearts Brought Under the Matrimonial Noose Through Advertising. About two weeks aco W. B. Shan non, a well-to-do market gardner, of Albany, advertised for a help-meet. Ho received a baskeful of letters from old girls, young girls, old maids, grass widows, widows of high and low degree and others who were willing to correspond with him "with a view to matrimony." Tho story is briefly told by the Herald. It says about a week ago ho received a reply which impressed hiin most favorably. A well-preserved widow of about forty-live, wrete: modestly stating that she was u good cook, not afraid of house work and was not without some means, and briefly designated the residence where he might call to see her, which invitation ho accepted forthwith. One call followed another, and It did not require many days for them to discover that they were of one mind upon tho subject. In fact their brief acquaintance had devel oped into more than friendship, and there were "Two souls with hut a fclnglo thought, Two heart that beat as one.1" Tho dav was accordingly set, and Wednesday, at 1 o'clock tho con tracting parties, Mr. W. B. Shan non ana Mrs. u. a. iwyuuwa, wu were brought together through that all-powerful agent, printer's Ink, will bo united In marriage at the home of tho bride's daughter in Albany, George Humphrey, .bsq., officiating. The moral Is obvieus: n you don't see'what you want. ak for it through the columns of the news paper. There lias been great activity In tho upper Nehalem coal fields this year and a score or more of new claims have been taken. It can now bo osrld without fear of suo cossful contradiction that paying velpd of coal from three aud one half to nine Inches in thickness and of fair quality can be seen over an area of at least Ave thousand aeres.' This la what is to be teen now, aud prospecting is still going on and new findings are beinj: made all the while. I.OCAI. SUMMARY.

News And Notes of a General In terest to the Westerner. The Corvallis W. C. T. U. has an active .membership of thirty-nine. Excavating for the new court house at Bedding has commenced. Tho builtllna will be finished next June. Typhoid fever is raging through out Crook county. There are about twenty severe cases in and about Prineville. During the season -1S0O feet of snowslieds have boon burned be tween lllue Canyon and Truckee on the Central Pacific. The proposition to consolidate Portland and East Portland seems to have fallen Into Innocuous desue tude, as President Cleveland would say, nothing having been heard of It for about seven weeks. It 's now proposed to tow n large log raft from British Columbia to San Francisco. There is no duty on logs while there is on lumber. Tho success of the big Nova Scotia raft leads the Western Canuck to imitate it. Tho lato serious wreck on tho Jsorth Pacific, near Sprague, was caused by a train dispatcher in Sprague, a boy but twenty years old, who had been on but a short time, and got mixed in giving orders. He disappeared on tho day of the wreck, and has nol been heard of since. Japan lias sent four cargoes of coal to San Francisco during tho past few months. This coal pays a duty of 75 cents per ton and still undersells Oregon and Washington Territory coal. When tho demo crats succeed in putting coal on tho free list that growing industry of tho Pacific Coast will receive lis death blow and all our coal will bo brought from England, Australia, Japan and Britisli Columbia. News. Tho sequel to tho talo of tho Van couver Chinaman who had his toes cut oil" at the depot Is very touching. A hungry dog happening to come by saw the toes lying by the side of tho track, and without walling to inquire whet her they were Caucasian or Mongolian, proceeded to make his dinner oil' them, thus saving Ah Sin the trouble of burying tlicin, who sagely remarked: "Dog vat Chinaman, alee sainee bimeby Chi naman eat dog." Every time tho river becomes un usually high at Corvallls, there is Imminent danger that it will wash a cut through tliu peninsula which is just opposite the town, and which throws tho river to tho place. In order to avert such a calamity au appropriation of $1-1,000 lias been made to build tho revetment which will bo made of brush, laid down and staked with living willows, which will take root and grow, funning a permanent bank. The work will lie tlouo about a mile above Corvallls. Should tho river lei-crt tho bed aud cut across the leninsula, it would leave tho town about n mllo away, and injure it in calculably. In such a caso, how ever, it could be turned back into its natural channel, but the cost would be a great deal heavier than to put in the revetment, though tliu appro priation will not cover tho cost as it is. Fidelity to Dkath. Shortly after the close of the war Mr. Iloach, living near Carrollton, went insane. The cause of her derangement was attributed to the lots of her husband in ono of tho numerous con dicta in Virginia. Not vltlistandlng the unsound condition of her mind, she went about her dally dutlea as usual, taking csm ofher children, (she had two, a boy and girl) and sewing for their support. It was only in conversation that her infir mity was apparent, and her utter aver, inn for society. Naturally weak and del icale in her organization, her overtaxed strength gave way under the arduous woik she performed, and day by day her thin pale face grew care-worn, and her solt and silent footsteps drew nearer and ncarrr to the grave. Hut to all Inquiries oi friends about her health, she would shake br head and say, "I'm well', 1 can't die, who would oare foe my little ones!" The sad and lonely life of the woman excitwl compassion, but she would tako no alms. She toilil early and late, liut not a great while sinew sho sent for a nentlcnun living a sboit distance from her, and when he arrived, sah! to hum "I'm going to die bowj my ehildrsii are provided for."
