tribute as charity sufficient to sustain the
unemployed; the employed can join with
the unemployed in dividing such employ

The Fruit Crop of the State.

The Oregon crop and weathe.
bulletin has the following summary
of the reports gathered from it
various correspondents concerning
the fruit prospects of this season:
"The great fruit crop, indicated
by the profusion of blossom, will
not this year be realized. The frui
is dropping from the trees. The
petite prune is almost gone. The
Italian and Silver prunes now prom
ise to be about a one-half crop
other varieties a very fair crop
Bartlett pears and apples will make
a fair crop, unless more drop; and
cherries will be poor crop. Some
sections report poor fruit prospects,
as outlined above, while other Sec
tions report good fruit prospects.
The fruit will be less in the nor
thern half of the Willamette valley
than elsewhere. The cause of the
change in fruit prospects, IS ascribed
by some as being due to the No
vember freeze before the sap had
retreated; others ascribe it to the
frosts the latter part of April; while
others are of the opinion that it is
due to the warm period the middle
of April, during blooming. Be the
case what it may, the fruit crop,
from comparative point Of view,
will be short. e., much more
than last year, but less than in
1895. Strawberries are ripe and
are very fair crop. Il inces have
dropped their bloom and the fruit
is well set. Early conditions for
crops of all kinds were very promis-
ing, but these promises will not be
realized; however, a very fair har-
vest will be had. AS compared
with the average harvests east of
the Rocky Mountains, it will be
large harvest; but using the Oregon
average, it will be only fair, at least
1t 50 now appears"

About the checklist thing we
know of is the way DR.. Paine is
hanging on to the superin,endencv
of the insane asylum. DR. Paine is
from Lane county, and it does seem
strange that he does not know
enough to see that his holding the
superintendency of that institution
is keeping some good Salem man
out OF job. DR.. Paine ought to
be ashamed.
