: G. P. Heald made a collection of choic,

A carload of pIums shippsd from Eugene
by the Oregon Orchard company to Chi ago
brought so cents crate for Bradshaws and
Sl.00 for Columbias, according to returns
just received. Out of the first l6 carloads
of fruit shipped from Oregon this season,
says the Guard, a carload from Eugene
commanded the highest price in Chicago
with the exception of a carload shipped
very early from The Dalles.
The immense amount of fruit shipped
from The Dalles every year emphasizes the
| Importance o cannery in this city. This
would give employment to very many, aud
would he a factor of development. The
| fact is becoming more apparent every day
that, without manufacturing industries,
this city can support but a little larger pop.
ulation than it now has; but with them the
town would soon be city of 20, 900 or 3d.
600 population. n
Grants Pass. Gays the Courier, does not
derive It's horrld name from the fact that
General Grant passed through a mountain
Gus gap in this vicinity, nor because he
'passed on four kings" while encamped at
any point IN the beautiful Rogue river val
ley, but was simply named thus because a
stage station was located two miles north of
here about the time that Ulyssus Grant
captured VIcksburg and his name was in
verYbody's mouth.

To-day is the anniversary of an import
ant event in the life of our fellow citizen,
Mr.. Geo. r. SnIpes, for 1t is Just forty
years since he married his wife in this city.
During all these years he has lived at The
Dalles, and is yet In active health. Al
though this long number of years have
elapsed since Mr.. and Mrs. Snipes joined
their fortunes, yet time has dealt gently
with them, and both still appear on the
active side of life. 1t is very likely that
they will see many anniversaries of their
will still continue to be their home.
The first party of successful mountain
climbers of the sc ason has returned to Ia
coma from Mount Rainer. Until this party
reached the summit 1T was believed impos-
sible to go beyond Gibraltar rock, on ac-
count of the immense amount of snow which
fell last winter. The successful party con-
sisted OF Walter Bosworth, Guy Evans and
A. French, who secured several fine mega
tives, and Walter Wolff. From the summit
the surrounding country could not be seen
on account of the smoke, but the white tops
of the mountain range could be observed
above the smoke.
Albany Democrat: The hop pickers at
Harrisburg were somewhat excited yester-
day. G E. Brown, a resident of Albany
at one time for several months, was arrested
on a charge of assault and battery on a
grandchild. 1t was claimed he knocked
the 6-year-oId child down and then pulled
her into tent by the hair of the head. |
Eight witnesses testified on the subject, |
and Justice Howell after hearing the testi- |
mony sentenced Brown to the county Jail at |
this city for twenty days. Constable Dan
McClain brought him to the city this noon,
aud Brown is now playing solitaire behind |
the bars. Harrisburg peoplewere quite in-
dIgnant over the matte
Ochoco ReUieto. Last year there were l0,-
500 boshels of wheat ground into flour at
the Prineville mills. This was less than
1000 short OF the amount required to supply |
the local demand. If the recent rams have
not materially injured the wheat that was
not threshed the amount that will be
brought to this market will be nearly |
double that of last year, hence there will
be considerable surplus. As there is no
market for the surplus and there will be
shortage in the supply of bacon and lard,
why would it not be good investment for
some one to go to Webfoot and buy up
lot of hogs to feed the surplus gram to?
