while Washington and Oregon can
even more readily do the same. Before
long the fight for the control of the
prune market of this country will be
between the growers of California and
those of Washington ond Oregon. Cal
ifornia has the advantage of an estab-
lished market for her prunes and skilled
experience in handling the product.
The prunes of Washington and Oregon
are superior TO the California article in
size, and are more attractive when
properly handled, and this state in the
end is likely to win the fight.

SOME ODD STORIES.
INTERESTING TALES OF ADVENTURE
ON SEA AND LAND.

The Mysterious Vanishing of Anthony
Sears and How He Was Found In the
Secret Cellar of His Own Home-A Story
of War Times In the Virginia Valley.
copyright, 1893, by American Press Associa-
toni
At the beginning Of the war the Sears
plantation in the Blue Ridge valley of Vir-
ginia was one of the most extensive and
valuable properties in that beautiful re
gion lying between the two great mountain
ranges. The magnificent old mansion had
been erected in 1.-THE days that tried mems
souls" and the property descended from
father to son during all the years since the
Revolution, in which conflict the name of
Sears had stood high on the roll Of Ameri-
can patriots. The mansion had been kept
in perfect repair, being sacredly regarded
by the family it had sheltered and to whom
It belonged.
Anthony Sears was little better than an
invalid when the war came on, being trou-
bled with attacks of giddiness and faint
ness, which caused great deal Of uneasi
ness and alarm among his children, Of whom
there were three-two sons and beautiful
dark eyed daughter. The mother of the
children had been dead some years.

The West Coast Trade thinks thai
the crop outlook for Washington Is
fraught with glorious promise for the
present season. There never has been
a time when the ground was in better
condition for an immense output oil
cereals of all kinds than the present.
and there is every reason to expect a
full acreage Of wheat and other grains
In Eastern Washington, where the
weather during the past week has mod
flied sufficiently to enable farmers to
work their fields satisfactorily. The
thousands of acres of land being
brought to high state of fertility
by irraggtion will this season add
wonderfully to the output of fruit, veg
etables and grains in the central and
eastern portion of the state, while in
the western the growing interest in ag-
riculturai pursuits is noticeable, and
fruits, vegetables and oats promise
abundantly. Hops never looked bet
ter at the present season, and the acre
age shows material increase, while all
growers are prepared for the appear
ance of the lice, which damaged the
crops to a certain extent last season,
and larger yield of better quality will
no doubt be obtained. The reports cir
culated earlier in the season that fruits
had been badly damaoed nv frost are
now found to be without foundation in
most instances, as peach trees are put
ting forth buds with promises Of full
yield, and other fruits appear to equally
good advantage. A few weeks OF
bright weather will put an entirely diff
ferent aspect on the agricultural as well
as business situation and increasing ac-
tivity will be the order of things.

accommodating evidence of the fact that
in contrast with the so-called profess

The cowboy is becoming extinct like the
buffalo, the prairie wolf, the painted red
skin and the highway robber of the plains.
Civilization is as hard on the cowboys as it
Is on the other animals enumerated. The
cowboy, howevsr, has been largely myth.
He has been existing in the imagination Of
eastern writers just as several very fine
Indians were turned out by Cooper. There
are many herders, but from them the cow
boy who is pictured by the common imag-
nation was evolved. Texas produced the
herder and the cowboy. Texas produces
all there Is left OF him yet. l have seen

never totally deprayed, but always wild
and often dangerous. The dangerous cow
boy is rapidly disappearing. &C Chicago In

The wires announce another cut Of
rates on certain classes of freight by
the Southern Pacific, with a view of
successful competition with the rates
by water between San Francisco and
Eastern points. At first sight this
would not seem to be of much interest
to us, and yet a more careful considera-
ton will show that it is full of sugges-
tons of great moment to the people OF
Washington. Two years ago, in his
talk to the people of Fairhaven, Mr..
Hill said that freights could be carried
as eheaply by land as by water, and
that this consideration would in time
be one of the great factors in opening
the Eastern markets to the lumber and
other products of Washington. The
Southern Pacific evidently has arrived
at the same conclusion, and is now en-
gagged in making practical test of the
matter by establishing rates to compete
with the water lines. This means a
downward tendency of freights, and
will prove beneficial to the entire coast,
inasmuch as all the trauscontinental
lines are competitive, and all must of
necessity conform to the lowest rate es-
tablished by any one of them in order
to retain even fair share of
the business. 1t is coming our
way-slowly, it may seem to some,
but very surely. Our markets are be-
Ing extended, the facilities for reaching
them are increasing, and the expense
of doing so is constantly diminishing.
Who shall say that the outlook for the
future is not hopeful?

They Were Willing.

One Of the last important measures Of
the commonwealth of Massachusetts, be-
fore Maine was made a state, was to nego
tiate with the Penobscot Indians for the
purchase of their rights in a large tract Of
forest land, and some very eminent gen.
tlemen were selected to carry out the bar
gain. After the signing of the deed with
all due f0rmality by the assembled saga
mores at Bangor it was necessary for them
to Acknowledge it," as the legal phrase
is. One of the stately commissioners held
up the paper and asked ''if they acknowl-
edged 1t to be their free act and deed"
The result was the red men gathered
their blankets around them and reIapsed
into state of stoical indifference, giving
no sign of reply. General Blake, who was
present, had had much 10 do with the IN
dams, and saw at once they did not under
stand what the formaiity required of them
meant. Let me try" he said, taking the
paper. Turning to the head chief, he said,
You willing-and all the rest of the In
dams willingS" "Ouil Ouip they all cried
in answer, showing as much of willingness
as they had hitherto of Decentralization
