THE BUBBLE BuRsT.-The San Fran
cisco Chronicle tells story OF how a
large quantity OF steel rails belonging to
couple brothers named Hogg and Hoag
had remained IN bonded warehouse for
ten years, aud were then being hauled TO
Stockton, stating that the railroad bubble
for which they had been bought had burst.
Their cost Ct storage had been immense.
II is probable there is some truth in the
statements. There were rails there, and
besides,i it will be remembered aquantity
were taken back from the road after be-
ing taken to the front. The Hogg bubble
undoubtedly burst. But the road did
not burst. 1t is now in the hands OF men
who are putting 100000 in improve
ments on 1t at once, and will extend il
and branch out at less cost than $780,
600 mile. The Chronicle is simply sew
eral years behind time, and needs to
read up on modern events. While the
Col. Hogg part may have burst, the road
itself was never bubble and even now
is very decided fact, giving Willamette
valley people freight rates less than half
what they would otherwise be. II will
be more decided fact when reaching
into Eastern Oregon and finally connect
ing with an eastern ROAD.

Next Week.

J.L. Miteheil, state organizer of the
Home Forum, met a number of our
citizens at the office OF ]. L. Hill
last night and temporarily crganized
for this city, with list OF thirty or forty
names. A couple hours were spent in
the discussion Of the Home Forum, Mr..
Mitchell very plainly showing the adj
vantage of the order and its remarkable
eheapness ON account Of the simplicity OF
the work and the absence Of all exp<n-
sive parzphernalia and fixtures. In
order TO complete the work here Mr..
Mitchell will return TO Albany soas TO be
here Monday, and a permanent organi-
zstion will be effected with an increased
mem hership, good many Of both ladies
and gentlemen having given their names
Tor the purpose. II i probable the per-
nanent organization will be perfected
Tuesday night. Announcement will be
made on Monday. Nr. Mitchell went to

A Coon PRUSE lTEN.-The Pacific

prune, and our inability To produce
enough 10 make il an object for buyers
to use our fruit is all the drawback 10
the business here. We have the world
for 3 customer and demand will come
from England and even Germany and
France, when we are able TO supply it.
So far we have not produced enough TO
let the world know that we are in the
world as producers. The largest crop
we ever produced was in 1891, and even
then the whole United States did not
produce enough TO give our people one
half pound each. California will prob
ably produce in 1895 Il. Zoo tons; WASH
ington, 500 tons and Oregon j 900 tons.
making grand total OF g .00u. 600 pounds.
The consumption Of prunes in this coln-
try in 1855 was 59. .e34 ,e6l pounds, all Of
which were imported; the consumption
in 1891 was ~ ,2s2, ,322 OF which but 3s,-
2Sl ,446 were imported. NosNithstApd-
ing the eheapness of the foreign product
the Pacific coast prune is rapidly dziving
il out of the market. Prunes cannot be
successfully raised anywhere else in the
United States, save on the Pacific coast,
and when the foreign product is driven
out OF the country we will be called upon
to furnish not less than IS 600 600 worth
annually for our home market alone,
Unlike many other fruits, prunes are lot
perishable. hence there is no loss or
waste in shipping, and the nature OF the
nature OF the fruit il such that it always
brings forth foreign capital.

| Word comes to Albany that the sheriff
of Portland has levied an attachment on
the home property OF Mrs. Sam Wait.
Mr.. Wait was known quite well in AL
bany. He died suddenly in Portland a
few months ago and left wife and two
children. At his death he left only a
home partially paid for, and his wife has
been trying in everv way possible TO
raise enough money to keep up the in
stallments but she has failed. She pass-
ed through Albany few dayc ago from
a trip down the road where she had
gone to see her father and appeal to him
for assistance; she stated that her father
was in such circumstances that he could
not help her any. but had offered her
home if she would return to the farm.

RAILRoAD Hoos.-The Roscbarg Re
view is sorry 10 chronicle the news that
the recent shipments OF srevn fruit,
mostly peach plums. TO the eastern mark
cts through the Oregon Fruit Union,
have proven financially unsuccessful.
The fruit sold from 65 TO 81 cents q box,
certainly a good price, and shippers ex-
pected iair profits but was disappointed
when their checks arrived. Il seems
that it was represented to the fruit grow
ers here that the freight would he Ia

the shipments came, it figured up two
cents OF more, leaving the growers little
or nothing. Judge Riddle shipped 240o

placing the fruit abroad the cars. He
