Fruit-G Growing in Canada.
From Tie Montreal Herald.

The recent meeting Of the Quebec fruit.growers in
Montreal attracted some little attention to the pres.
ent situation Of that very important branch Of the
farming industry. While the farms in sections
capable OF peach. raising bring the highest prices in
the whole Dominion. not infrequently the sale price
OF a single crop will sufhoe to repay the purchase
money. Excellent returns were also made In former
years by such farmers as grew Strawberries. rasp.
berries and the like. and the natural result has been
whas is commonly called "overprcduction." The
result has been that farms once considered worth
nine or ten thousand dollars because Of their special
capacity for fruit growing have sold in the last few
years for six and seven thousand or even less, and
there Ia now a decided tendency to abandon fruit.

Don't Go to ALASKA.

This is the advice which j.. W. VIII
son, who has just returned from q
years stay at Dawson, gives al. who,
except they have plenty Of money and
are prepared to speculate. Mr.. VIII
son says emphaticaily that Alaska is
no place for poor man. or one with a
small amount of capital, for the time
has passed when prospector can go
out and in few days locate, paying
claim, and as to securinga position to
work for wages, the opportunities are
limited, for there are a dozen men
there for every job that offers any
thing above an actual living. For the
man with 5000 to $4,000 to invest
Mr.. Wilson says the districts of
Alaska offer opportunities that prob
ably cannot be found elsewhere. A
person with that amount Of capital can
go to Dawson, and by watching his
chances may purchase claim from
which he will take hundreds of
thousands of dollars, for there are
always miners who have made what
the want and are ready to sell out and
cave, bat they will not sell for a lsong.
Mr.. Wilson spent year in The Klon-
dixie region, and for a time was en-
ployed at SIS day, but says his
Alaskan trip was not profitable, he
having made little more than expenses.
He would therefore advise all who
have only limited means TO not ven.
ture making q trip to the far north.

BeM are of the BLK.

Bilks are about the country working
their nefarions schemes on people.
One of the worst frauds is the patent
right business in the hands of ua-
scrupulous strangers, who are here
today and yonder tomorrow. Only
few weeks since sharper came to q
Marion county farmer and showed him
a hand-sprayer, tin contrivance for
squirting water from tub or bucket
upon trees. The sharper told the un-
suspecting farmer that be would give
him patent right to Yamhill, Mar
ion. Bentou and Polk counties for the
exclusive sale of the sprayers provided
the farmer would buy case of the
"squirters." Believing he had good
thing, and that he could double his
money on the investment, the farmer
paid the sharper S45 and the latter
left after promising to write,- etc.
Later on the farmer took some of his
tin fixing and started out, only to find
that every hardware store had them
and retailed them for, S1.25, exactly
what he paid for them. But the
sharper cleared out, and his present
address is not known, and the farmer
is trying to work. his stock of tin
squirtets off at cost, and thus get his
money back. For the time thus con-
sumed he expects no remuneration.
and could he afford it, would doubtless
like to hire some able bodied young
man with needle-toe shoes to kick him
for being such rank sucker.-Eugene

The men are all young, energetic fell

doubtful if they are not the finest body
of men in the guard. Captain Bartell
expects to have so men in the company

the number will likely be swelled to

THE SOLDIER BOYS COMING


The DaIIes Wants to Gave Them a
Warm and Hearty welcome.
When the volunteers lefe The Dalles
they were given splendid farewell,
but the people here desire to give
them a more cordial welcome on their
return. What to do for their enter
| tainment is therefore uppermost in
the minds of their friends here. To
be sure, the city will receive them In
| an appropriate manner when they ar
| rive, bnt this will not suffice to show
the full appreciation of our patriotic
people; something more than "a home
coming reception is desired by, great
many residents of the town and vicin-
ity.
Portland is arranging for ars excur-
sion to the mouth of the river to
receive the regiment as it enters the
Columbia. and it would be a phaasa7t
feature if The Dalles could be repre-
sented in the excursion by distinc-
tive Dalles crowd. If the river shall
have gone down by the time OF their
arrival SO that the boats CAM pass
through the locks it would be splen-
did thing to get the Regulator to make
a trip to Astoria to welcome them. Ii
would seem to the boys as II they were
actually at home if they were met
at the mouth of the Columbia by the
Regulator so familiar to all oil them,
loaded with Wasco county people. 1t
would be reception that would suit
them better than anything else.
There is little doubt but all the people
the boat could carry would make the
trip if such an excursion were given.
Let those who are in harmony with
the move signify their willingness to
go, and then arrangements will be
made with the D. P. & A. N. Co. for
the use of the boat.
