All the fruit driers in the vicinity
OF Lebanon are being operated on full
time. They are handling prunes.
Under the most favorable weather
conditions ever experienced, the hop
crop OF 1898 has been garnered. IL
was a profitable one for the picker,
grower and the state. PIckers made
easy money; growers saved their crops
without delay, and the state will re-
ceive just reputation for Qality. for
all the crop was saved. Like all other
products, the grower was disappointed
10 point OF yield.
Mckinley Mitchell OF Mount Angel
reports 1910 boxes from 33 acres; good
quality.
M. II. Gilbertson, Aurora, claims a
shortage Of 30 TO 40 per cent in the
Butteville-A Aurora district. and
throughout the state, as we'll. He
fears too early picking although he
picked early himself, will iniure
the selling price.
A. Ditmar. of Fairfield, had two
thirds of crop from Is acres.
John W. Thornbury, of Gervais,
saved more than he did last year. He
He has 1900 boxes; last year 100
boxes. But he did not commence
picking until the 10th.
Frank Buskey, of Gervais, 1900
boxes from IL acres. More than last
year.
Ed KaYanagh, of st. Louis precinct
had the large yield Of 100 boxes from
ii acres.
T. A. Livesly, who has the George
B. Miller yard rented, harvested 1000
boxes from 35 acres, and is we'll
satisfied. He paid a cash rent of
$500 for this yard, as Mr.. Miller lost
his dryhouse just prior to picking
time.
y Aral, of Gervais. reports 100
boxes from 10 acres safely housed.
A sale Of 80 bales at Aurora for
cents is reported. Offers OF 104 to 1Ot
cents-and even IL cents, it Is claimed
can be obtained, but the crop is
not yet baledland ready for :market
The general opinion Ireyails,
however. that higher prices will rule.
One Salem prunegrOwer expressed
mistake In waiting for prunes to
ripen for drying purposes. They are
al.eady ripe, he says, but because OF
the dry season remain of firm flesh.
He says they haye stopped falling,
and he has hegun picking. AS cause
for ripe fruit hanging on to the tree,
the reason is advanced that the skin
has shrunk around the stem, and be-
come tough so that drying has act
ually begun on the tree. Then it is
said the first rain will loosen the fruit
so that 1t will fall Ia such quantities
that it cannot be handled. This
grower is going ahead drying, pick.
ing the fruit of his own crop where it
don e fall of, and in addition is buv-
ing all he can handle. He is paying
one-half cent per pound and esti-
mates his profits at $3.50 day.

A Fatal Accident.
Plnkney, Lawrence County, Tenn.

To the Editor:
Doubtless many Elders VINO have la
bored In middle Tennessee conference
and become acquainted with Brother
David Ii. Brown of this place, will he
grlevcd to hear Of the fatal accident
which happened to him on Tuesday.
April 18th. while engaged In repairing
and firing an engine at the Pinkney
orc banks, which had not been used
for some time. The steam guage failed
to register correctly the number uf
pounds of steam. Those who were
working around the engue were Ignor
ant of this fact and kept firing to In
crease the power. Brother Brown no
tlced the old boiler leaking and called
the attention Of Mr.. John ricketts,. the
engineer, to Il. Just mt this moment
this boiler burst, throwing piece Of 1t
that weighed nearly 600 pounds, several
hundred feet in the air. The hot water
and steam struck Brother Brown in
the face, on the breast and left arm.
scaldng him very badly at the same
time throwing him some twenty feet.
where his head struck against bolt
which cut a cash the full length OF his
head his chin struck the sill In which
the bolt was driven, breaking his lower
jaw.
He was taken to Florence. Ala where
skilled physicians did ali the could for
the injured man. After suffering the
most excruciating pain for nine days.
he departed this lie at 30 on Thurs
day. April 18th. The remains were
brought back TO his home at Plnkney
on Friday. and buried on Saturday at
the Fish Trap cemetery.
Brother Brown has been faithful
member of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints for about fifteen
years. He has been a good friend TO
the Elders, always making them well
come at his home as long as they de-
sired to stay with him. He has also
been an energetic worker with the
Saints of this county, teaching them
their duties and encouraging them to
live up to the requirements of the Cos
pei. He was always willing and able
to explain the principles OF the Gospel
~ all who We're searching after truth.
He leaves a dear wife. six children
and a host of friends to mourn his loss.
Funeral services were held at his
home whore Elder Lowe and myself
encouraged the grlef-stricken family
all we could and explained the resur-
rection to a large congregation who
had met to pay their last respncts to
the departed. Very truly yours.

Elders have visited them and few have
been able to talk with them except
through an Interpreter. Yet they have
preserved the faith and many are the
testimonies that show that they have
been led by the same Spirit that has

ical college in the city. The young
doctors were Just on the verge of grad
uation, and as spring opened up they
passed the final examination being
awarded gold medal as well as high
degrees of honor II Is needless to say
that they were Mormons when | tell
you that they presented the mission
aries with no less than 800 worth of
household furniture, which enabled the
Elders to commence housekeeping. Also
we Elders were invited out and given a
ticket to the commencement exercises
of the graduating class, which took
place in Ford's Grand Opera house on
April IA, 1898. The most pleasing fea-
ture of the exercise to us was to see
the only Utah boys in the class in the
front ranks and taking the lead of so
large a class, as they were presented
their diplomas by the dlEnltary of the
college. The names of the doctors are
as follows: George II. Robinson, Provo:
