( A successful Oregon fruit grower made
the remark: 81 would rather cultivate
prunes than anything that grows. Last
year my four year old trees yielded me, from
200 to $50 pounds to the tree of large and
bountiful fruit. Counting 75 trees to the
acre, this average would get about So tons
to the acre, worth at last years prices,
dried and packed, about $3.50. Two and
half of the fresh makes one pound of the
dried article. Thus get equivalent of $50
per ton for the green, less the cost of dry
ing, which is very small. If bad good
ten acre prune orchard, six or seven years
old, nobody's $50. 900 could touch it"
At meeting of the Ceur d'Alene

scale already submitted to the union.

force OF non union men. The Frisco"

non union men, and the Bunker Hill
