About shipping Fruit.

E. " johnson, representing Porter
Bros. Co.. shippers of fruit, is in the
city and is offering some good advice
to orchardists az to the best methods
to adopt in the preparation of fruit for
shipment. Mr.. johnson has had years
OF experience. in handling fresh fruits
and has learned that the secret Of sue
cess in securing good prices lies very
much In the manner In which fruit is
prepared for shipment. He advises
that the closest care be observed in
sorting. so that each box shall contain
fruit of a certain size and quality. A
half dozen too small or too large
peaches, plums or prunes in boz, he
says will injure the sale from 25 to 30
per cent. He suggests that the fruit
raisers ofthis section secure the use of
a warehouse where they can store
their fruit as it Is brought in from the
orchards, then employ enough sorters
aud packers TO put it in condition for
shiprin Were this plan adopted he
believes. the fruit crop Of Wasco'
county. would realize the, growers at
leaet 25 cents more than it does when
careless methods OF sorting and pack.

one of the handsomest and most COM

perfectly fre.proof, with an elegant

has four large Ffench.plate glass, and
the main entrance on Second street

about half the, entire length of the

light for both floors. On either side
of the opening in the second floor
shelving and counters will be arranged

An AWFUL ACCIDENT.
A Daughter of ex-Tayor Paul Kreft
Dragged to Death


Dragged to Death.
| Wednesday an accident occurred
which robbed a happy family of one of
its brightest jewels. a bout 1880 Miss
Francis Keft accompanied by her two
| little sisters, one girl of eight years
and the other babe little more than
q year old, started for ride in a-one-
horse dog cart, and as they were cross
ing the Ninth street bridge the right
line was dropped. In her attempt TO
regain the line Miss Kreft evidently
drew too hard on the rein she was still
holding, pulling the horse to the left
and causing one wheel of the cart to
pass over stone, tilliDg it so that the
younger girl and babe were thrown to
the ground. MIR. Ed. Williams was
driving just ahead OF the children, but
had turned his borse to the right,
while they apparently were intending
10 take the road leading to the left.
MIR. Williams Immediately ran to the
assistance of the children who were on
the ground, gathering them up, and
finding they were nut hurt, got into
his buggy and started in pursuit OF
Miss Kreft's horse, which by this time
wasrunning at Il rapid rate. About all
Mr.. Williams could see was cloud OF
dust, and could not ascertain where
Miss Krete was: The horse ran down
the road some two and one-halt miles
to the bridge across Chenoweth. creek |
where it was stopped by Oma Marsh
and two companions. Miss Kreft |
was found with one foot entangled in
the Stats OF the cart, with her body |
between one shaft and the wheel, her
head having been fearfully mangled
by the rapidly revolving wheel. When
extricated from the cart life was ex.
tinct.
Francis Elizabeth Kreft was the
eldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul

THE CONDITION OF FauIr
An Almost Total Failure In Western
Oregon

w. L. Weatherred, agent for the
Goodell Fruit Line, has made an ex
tended tour over the entire state in the
interest of mis- com paay, and has made
close calculations of the amount OF
fruit that will be shipped from the
Northwest during the present season.
In Willamette valley, Mr.. " Gather.
red says tho fruit crop is almost an
entire failure, and there will be but few
cars of fruit shipped from the orchards
OF the valley this season. In Southern
Oregon. where the crop was heavy last
year. the orchards were seriously dam
aged by the cold, backward spring,
and the shipments from Jackson, Jose.
phine and Douglas counties will be
only about one-sixth what they were
last year.
In Eastern Oregon and Idaho the
outlook is more promising. While
the strawberry raisers In Grand Ronde
valley lost nearly their entire crop on
account of rain followed by extreme
hot eatler during the first week of
July, other fruits are comparatively
uninjured. Mr.. Weal herred has Just
returned from trip TO the upper couu-
try, and says Hough and Orensberg,
the principal fruit raisers of La
Grande, will have several cars of mixed
fruit for shipment, and he estimates
the shipments from La Grande, Union
and Cove will be from Is to 20 cars.
Summerville and Elgin will ship from
three to four cars of mixed fruit, while
other points in that section will have
few cars for shipment.
In the Snake river country, from |
Lewiston TO Reperis, Mr.. Weatherred |
says the yield will be quite heavy. He |
estimates the amount for shipment will |
be about ECO cars. Perhaps one-half |
OF this will bs consumed in the local |
markets west of Butte, Montana, while |
the remaining 100 cars will go east
Ofthe Wasco county fruit crop Mr..
says IN quality it is equal
to that OF any fruit producing section
In the Northwest. He was shown
through Judge Benefits orchard,
which is one Of the largest in the
and estimates it will produce
some 10 car loads of a quality that will
10 to ship, aud w. 81. Taylor, Seufert
Bros. and other extensive growers will
have considerable amount of prime
;ruit. Hood River has already shipped
some Is cars of small fruits, and he
the future shipments from
hat point this season will be about 30
cars.
When asked with reference to prob
lble prices, lr. Weatherred gave it as
ais opinion that If proper care were
aiken in selecting, packing and ship
ping, better prices would be obtained
his season than last. The general
shortage throughout the entire
will have tendency to bring
prime fruit in demand and cause high
prices to prevail in the east.

Tho Output of Gold.

The director of the mint of the
United States estimates the worlds
output of gold for the current calendar
year a. S22O, 600, 900. This estimate is
based on the returns obtained up to
the middle of the yea, which, of course
are subject to corrections and veritca-
tions. II is believed. however, that
the estimate will not be far wrong,
since last years output is now very
accurately liked at s203. .OoO,O 900, and a
decided increase for the present year
is reported in different quarters.
