A Peach CoUSrRY.-This year partl
eularIy has demonstrated the fact that
this part Of Oregon can raise as fine
peaches as any country In the world. No
peaches brought here surpass ours In Sixe
and flavor. II Is 10 be hoped that theIr
cultivation is pushed and that We have
some fine peach orchards In this and Ben
ton and Marion counties. The Salem
journal says; Many interesting facts as
A., al Il
production are being brought out BY the
fruit palace idea. For inrtanee, Il leaks
out that In Mr. BeaTdsiey's orchard "a
trees four years old bore 200 bushels Of
peaches that sold for 81. so bushel. This
would be $3.50 from less than one fourth

lie had just started 10 drive his team
across the railroad track, when a special
train rounded = sharp curve aud came
i'm mediately upon the outfit, and before
he had time 10 jump, the locomotive
struck the horses and knocked the wagon
completely from under him and he for
tunately fell along side Of the track and
rolled off the graded road bed, and the
train passed on without doing him any
personal injury more than he was rem
dered unconscious by the shock. Both
horses were killed outright.-Cor. Ben

A LIVE PLACE in Albany is the vicinity
Of the s. p. depot at noon. Within hall
an hour four passenger trains leave the
depot in four different directions, and
shortly after another in still another di-
rection. There are so many trains that
farmers coming in from the country find
It difficult work to get into the city.
This suggests that both Montgomery and
| Ellsworth streets should be extended in
direct line until reaching the main
country road.
FEELINGS HuRT.--It hurts the feelings
OF Crook county people wonderfully to
tave immigrants go through that county
into this unsurpassed valley, the land OF
fruits and cereals. The News walls like
this: Scarcely day passes that emil
grants from Nebraska and Kansas cannot
be seen passing through Prineyille toward
the Willamette valley. When these de-
luded people learn that government land
In Webfoot Is not TO be had they will come
back to eastern Oregon and settle down,
satisfied to stop and remain In a country
better suited to the wants of people Of
their class"

the bottom has dropped oat Of the boom
over there, and that real estate agents are
now compelled 10 wash their own spit
toons, not being able to hire small boy
or Cinnamon TO do the work. They use
their Offices for club-rooms In which to
spin long boom yarns and play solitaire
with old maps and plats.--Guard.
