Vancouver, Wash., May 4. The
heaviest crop of Italian prunes which
has ever been harvested In this
prune district will be gathered this
tall, Is the prediction made. Re
ports from all over the district, ac
cording to prune buyers in the field,
say that never before in the hi9tory 1
of the prune-drying Industry have
the trees beeen so heavily laden at
this time of the year. Unless the
fruit Is thinned in some manner the
trees will be unable to carry the
weight. Frost at an untimely point,
blight, wet weather and a few other
things may reduce the crop, but, bar
ring a few exigencies, Clark county
'ill this year send Into the markets
more prunes than ever before.
Of as much Importance to the grow
er as the quantity of his crop are the
prices being offered for future de
livery. Against a price of 5V4 cents
last year as the maximum figure, the
buyers are starting off the season,
facing a market nearly bare from
holdover fruit, and are contracting
tor dried prunes, fob warehouse in
Vancouver for 6 cents a pound.
The crop last year was short, the en
tire crop, with the fruit held from
the previous year, has been about
cleaned up, and the jobbers in
prunes face the necessity of laying in
a heavy supply.
R is estimated that not over 30
cars of prunes now in California were
left from last year.
Scott Swetland, buyer for J. K.
Armsby, who is said to be an author
ity on the subject of prunes, said this
morning that he had already con
tracted for 1,600,000 pounds.

lives.
"The arrest was made In conse
quence of testimony secured by Mr.
Burns, who has been Francis J.
Heney's right hand man in bringing
to justice grafters who violated the
laws of California In San Francisco.
He has proceeded with impartial sin
cerity against the most Influential
politicians and the richest business
men. It happens that the men whom
he has now arrested are members of
a labor' organization; just as men
whom he formerly arrested were
members of the Republican or Dem
ocratic parties, of great and wealthy
corporations."
Continuing his article, Roosevelt
makes a plea for a square deal for
both sides of the case, deprecating
the Introduction of any class senti

Paris, May 4. "If I am alive to

Hubert Latham, returned from

The reason for this decision comes
from the fact that it his mother's

"Without bragging," Latham said,
"I believe I can fly an aeroplane as
well as any of them, but I had many

big salmon
That both the Columbia and Wil
lamette rivers are teeming with sal

both streams are looking forward to
a fishing season that will surpass all
others In recent years Is the an
nouncement of Master Fish Warden
Clanton, who Is just back from a visit
to points along both rivers, In the
interest of the fish department.
The salmon fishing season opened
at noon May 1, and ever slnre then
the waters of the Columbia, the VV11
amette and the Clackamas have
been black with 'he lirats of fisher
men. The law pertaining to the
closed season was rigidly enforced
by the master fish warden and his
deputies, and practically no fishing
was done. In a few Isolated caws
violations of the law occurred, and
in each the offenders were prose
cuted to the full extent of the law.
The result has been a protection of
fish, and it has been one that has
operated beneficially to the fisher
men, as well as to the state.

den Clanton made an Inspection of
the fishway at Oregon City, and,
while despite the extensive fishing
going on below, he says that thou
sands of fish are making their way
up the river by means of the fish-
way. It is Inadequate, however. In
his opinion, and he will Insist that
before long another be installed on
the west side of the river, Just below
the present one.
In the past year thousands of fine
salmon - have become Btrauded In
the pools below the plant of the
power company at Oregon City and
died. This was caused by the com.
pany shutting off the water, and
bringing It down to such a low stage
that the fish were unable to extri
cate themselves from the large pools.
The master fish warden took the mat
ter up with the company Bhortly af
ter assuming his office, with the re
sult that there will be no fish de
stroyed in the poo's this year.
The department mains men on
duty night and day at the fishway at
Oregon City to prevent the fisher
men from interfering with the pro
gress of the salmon up the stream.
Case Is Dismissed.
Because he confiscated a launch
belonging to fishermen caught fishing
out of season, Chief Deputy Rathbun
waa arrested at Oregon City, and his
trial was set for yesterday morning.
Assistant Attorney-General Van Win
kle went to defend him, but when he
raachea Oregon City the deputy dis

Investigation of the ease and had

responsible concern anywhere on goods of equal quality, In the same
qualities and on the Bame basis of delivery and payment.

3. Ymir home merchants aro always ready and willing
make right any error or any defective article purchased.
4. Your home merchants help support, through direct and In
direct taxation, your schools, churches, libraries and other public
Institutions.
fj. Your home merchants help make, a good local market for
everything you have to sell, and that market more than any other
factor gives your land Its present value.
6. Your home merchants are your good friends, every ready to
extend a helping hand in time of need.
7. If this community Is good enough for you to live In nnd
make your money In, 'tis good enough to spend It In.
8. The best citizens In this community are those who believe In
and practice home patronage. He one of the best!
9. The merchants in the distant city give you nothing value-able
that the home merchant cannot give you and the former can not
and will not do for you many things that the latter will do gladly.
10. Every dollar kept In circulation in this community helps
Increase property values. Every dollur sent out of this communi
ty that could as well be spent here hinders the wheels of progress,
and helps build up some other community at your expense.

UHIT1D FBESS LEASED WIRE.
El Paso, Tex., May 4. News
reached here today that 300 rebels
under Major Miranda are encamped
at Ajusco, only eight miles from the
City of Mexico. They have cut the
wires between Monterey and Saltlllo,
but are said not to meditate any at
tack, their only desire being to abide
by the terms of the armistice and
prevent any outbreaks in that vicin
ity. It is believed here that Madero
will not sanction any further exten
sion of the armistice, which expires
next Monday. The situation Is most
critical and unless the Diaz govern
ment comes to tormB quickly an at
tack upon Juarei Is expected. The
whole country south of the Rio
Grande In this section is iwarmlng
with rebels. One large party has ap
proached the federal trenches at
Juarez and has been stationed in the
arroyos and hills overlooking the
city. There is no doubt that the reb
els are Itching for a fight and, should
the peace negotiations fall, a battle
is certain to occur.
The peace conferences, upon which
so much depends, really began today.
Judge Francisco Carbajal and Dr.
Vasquez Gomez met In a grove across
the river from El Paso at 9 o'clock
and at once entered Into a considera
tion of the situation and the Insur
recto demands.
Washington, May 4. Olficlal ad

Foreign Affairs De Labarra expects
that a peace pact with Madero will
be signed today. The despatch also
declares that Diaz anticipates that
peace In Guerrero and Morelos states
will be reached In a few days through
independent negotiations with the
revolutionary leaders there.
De Labarra, In a message direct to
President Taft, Intimated that spec-
and
to
lal efforts would be made to rush
through at least a tentative draft of
the peace proposals today in order to
head oft the threatened uprising in
the City of Mexico, which otherwlsa
seems Inevitable for tomorrow.
