A PRoPER PREcACTIoS.-At the
state fruit grower meeting At Ash
land yesterday, c. l. Daley, of this
eity, gave what be knew about Oregon
fruits in tie east. Mr.. Daily pro
claimed his conviction that Oregon
fruitgrowers will make 3 great mis-
take, if they depend upon the SUPER
Ority of their products over those ot
other states to give them sn advantage
10 the Eastern markets. Such super
I0riiy is not 50 great az many suppose
and very effort must be made, b.
thought, to prepare Oregon product,
in tie choic' ct manner and seek evep
advantage possible in marketing.

trustee of Harvard, few years ago built
on the Charles river a tower between
Waltham and Newton to commemorate
the landing OF the Morse yoyagers AT

the Charles river was the river referred
TO. Very likely the notion thus recorded
by monument will gain general credit
some day. though there Is no more rea-

Charles than that 1t was the Delaware

other rivers.
