Beat An For Pruues.

In regard to Oregon pruncs the
st, Paul Press says zone fact mo-
ticeable in the present operations of
orchardists is the tendency to make
prunes their chief crop. II is be-
lieved that Oregon prunes are the
best the world produces. They are
altogether beyond comparison with
the European product, and even
California does not claim to be able
to grow as good punes as Oregon.
They bring much the highest price
in the market. -

OUR HOME-SWEET HOME.
A Pretty Indian Legend And Story Of
Chemekete.

The Indians have many pretty
legends and allegories which are
handed down to the succeeding gen.
erations and after few years are a
part of history. To-day many of
these aboriginal words are in daily
usage and we scarcely stop to con-
slider their meaning. "Chemekete," "
for which street of the capital
city and her great hotel are named,
in the language of the red man en-
veys the idea of "Our Home. 1"
The travelling public, since Salem's
popular hotel of this Indian name has
come under the management of
Messrs. Monroe & Bell, see how ap-
propriate the name really is. They
think of it as "Our Happy Home, "
for such it is.
The contract was to-day made for
the lighting of the house by cleo
tricity, which will be a great i'm
provement over present methods.
The upper floor is being refitted for
the express accommodation of the i'm
having a tourists parlor
and wlthal is a veritable paradise for
the weary traveller. The office is
receiving carpeting and all is be-
ing made in readiness for the ac-
commOdation of legislators and the
public.

The Steamer a Total Loss.

Now nothing remains to do with
the wrecked Yaquina Bay but to
turn her over to the underwriters.
All efforts to raise her have proved
futile and she is a hopeless wreck on
the sands. She was irst-class
steamship and was insured for her
full value. She lies now careened
over on her side toward the north,
with the seas running over her bows,
and little or no hopes are enter
tanned of saving her.

George Devine was brought to
the penitentiary yesterday from
Baker county, having plead guilty Of
larceny. Before the judge young
Devine's attorneys plead for mercy

prisoner, he having not yet arrived

ing returned the purse which
contained but $l1.5O, to its owner,
and asked that in this instance the
penalty imposed should partake
more of the spirit of reform than
the punishment usually and right
fully meted out to the hardened and
criminal. After being
to a lecture on the enormity
of his offense he was given two
years in the penitentiary.

ANGRY At SENATORS PLUMB And VEST


THE CHICAGO BEEF PACKERS DENY THAT THERE
is A COMBINATION TO FIX PRICES.
Chicago, May (SpecisD.-Every farmer through
out the Northwest and every shipper Of cattle and
hogs to the Chicago market is ready to indorse the
statements made in the speeches of Senators Plumb
and Vest in regard TO the packers combination for
fixing prices The big packers here to-day greatly
excited the debate in the Senate G. II. Webster
Of Armour g. Co., said Of the statements:
There is no combination here between the buyers
of cattle for any purpose. Each house requires
many cattle for iis days work. and the buyers are In
struced to buy that number at the lowest price, The
price of cattle is regulated by the supply. Whom
there are plenty Of cattle in the yards the price is
lower, and when the supply is light the price ad-
vances This would not be so If there was comb-
nation to manipulate prices. There is no combfna-
ton among the packers now There never has been.
The statement that packers know Just how many cat
tle may be coming into the yards and what their
quality Is is not so. The difficulty with Mr.. Plumb
and Mr.. Vest is that they assume to represent the
cattle rasers' interests without knowing anything
about the business. Hence they make mistakes
Every important allegation in both those speeches
printed is untrue.'
John wigelsworth, who is the Chicago representa-
tive of George II. Hammond Co., of Hammond, Ind,
the pioneers in the dressed meat business, said
"These gentlemen's statements prove their fgno-
rance Of the situation Here Mr. Plumb charges the
Chicago men with being instrumental In depressing
the prices Of the cattle that annually reach the alb
battor In NewYork Now II they knew any thing
they would Know that the New forR people have en-,
business of Chicago have been representing Ham,
mond Co. In this market for the last eighteen years,
and in all that time there has never been any attempt
TO make combination to control the prices Of cattle
1t could not be DONE"
