the Hands of Receiver.

A Boston telegram announces that the
Plymouth Rock Pants Company mas been
placed in the hands OF a receiver on the
ground of alleged insolvency. The Ply
mouth Rock Pants Company has quite a
large number of agencies in the South.
and several IN Virginia
The agency in Richmond mas been es-
tablished for years. IL is at present pre-
sided over by Mr.. III. +. Strudwick, an
Englishman, and seems 10 have been do
ing a good business.
The dispatch referred TO says:
Judge Colt. in the United states CIR
cult Court, yesterday appointed George l..
Huntress receiver for the Plymouth Rock
Pants Company. The appointment Is
made in a bill in equity brought by
Thomas H. Snow, administrator. against
the company. Snow Is q creditor OF The
concern for over $4,000 on promissory
notes and for money loaned.
THE company was organized under the
laws Of New Jersey, with an authorized
capital OF 81 900, 0o0-sS00 600 common and
500 90 preferred stock. The ground upon
which the receiver is appointed Is the
alleged Insolvency of the concern.
''Mr. Huntress said yesterday afternoon
that he thought the nominal assets of
the company would be as large, IL not
larger than the liabilities. He could not
tell, and does not know, he said. the
cause of the oompany's trouble. The con-
Germ. ne said, would continue in business
for the present at least"

THE PUNE CROP.


The last issue of the Rural North
west, published at Portland by II. NJ.
Williamson, has an editorial on II Q
prospective prune crop Of the Pacific
Northwest for the current year. He
says every indication points to much
larger amount OF prunes this season
than in 1893 and 1894. Writing Of Ital-
ian prunes he says: "It Is a well
known fact that by far the greater por-
ton Of the prunes growing in Western
Oregon and Washington are Italianr.
The only counties which had even a
fair crop Of italian primes last year
were Douglas In Oregon and Clark in
Washington. In Marion county, Ore
gon there were no italian prunes last
year. Marion county has about $500
acres Of prune orchards Of which $50
acres are of bearing age, years old or
older. At least three-fourths Of the
trees are Italians. 1t is wholly within
the bounds of probability that the out
put of cured prunes in Marion county
this year will be between one and two
million pounds. Yamhill is another
great prune county which Jared badly
last year, with the exception Of few
favored localities. 1t has over 30t0
acres Of prune orchards, of which 700
acres are years old or older. Yamhill
county also is likely to turn out be-
tween one million and two million
pounds of cured prunes. 1t would not
be surprising indeed, If Marion and
Yamhill would each turn out over two
million pounds Of cured prunes this
year. Douglas county, which has
turned out about 100000 pounds OF
cured prunes, has this year about 1,lOO
acres Of prune orchards, years old OF
older, and will In all probability keep
In the lead in the volume of Its prune
crop. Clackamas has about 5000 acres
Of prune orchards Of bearing age; Lane
county about 400; Benton, $50; Polk,
$50; Wasco, 200; Jackson, 200; Wash.
ington, $50; Union, 100; and Joseph.
inc, Columbia, Lincoln, Coos, aud
Curry, about 100 acres in the aggre.
gate. There are, in all, over 6,OOC
acres OF prune. orchards of bearing age
in Oregon. There are also, several
thousand acres Of four-yeAr-old prune
orchards, not included above, but
which will materially add to the total
output Of fruit. A good crop will this
year mean, therefore, an output of from
100000 to 100000 pounds of cured
prunes In Oregon.
