PRUNE DRYING.
Why the California Product Brings .
Higher Price I'm the Markets
of the East.

ii. b. Miller, president OF the Ore
gon State Board of horticulture, in a
recent paper, makes many valuable
suggestions to the fruit growers of the
Northwest. Mr.. Miller says:
The prune growers of Oregon often
wonder why their French prunes do not
command as good price as the Cali
fornia product. An examination of
the ordinary methods of curing of the
average Oregon prune grower explains
much of the cause of this difference
in value.
have just returned from careful
investigation of number of prune
dryers, and found much carelessness
and slovenliness. In the first place,
they pick everything from the ground
that they find there at the first pick
ing. Some are half rotten, some half
dried, some sunburnt, and almost all
immature or defective. Those are dried
and so into the bins with the general
crop. Then again strong man goes
over the orchard, shaking the trees as
hard as he can, bringing off the prunes
in every stage of ripeness, many of
them altogether too green to make a
good product. A dish of these prunes
will have about as many different
tastes or fiavors as there are prunes,
and none of them will be truly first
class.
Many of these dryers are operated
in the most careless manner, without
thermometer to indicate the tempera.
ture, and as result, no two lots are
cured equally; and so in the drying, as
well as in the methods of gathering,
many varieties of flavor are developed
After being cured they are often
dumped into coal oil cases, dirty pick
ing boxes, and finally bring up in a
dirty barn for storage. The dirt and
filth about some of these dryers is in
tensely disgusting.
Good fruit, clean and pleasant to the
taste, and uniform in flavor and quail
ity, cannot be produced by such methods
and will not command good price in
the market, and until better, cleaner
and more systematic work is done in
the gathering, drying and packing OF
our prunes, we will be far behind the
California price.
In the first place, the sunburnt, i'm
mature and partially decayed fruit
should not be dried. The trees should
not be shaken, but the fruit should
ripen on the tree and be allowed to
drop, and in this way you will secure
uniformity of ripeness. A careful
uniformity of temperature for drying
should be maintained, and the fruit re-
moved when it reaches fixed stand
ard.
Prune buyers should examine the
quality of fruit much more carefully
than they do, and by variation in prices
reward the careful and conscientious
producer for his good work. So far the
buyers have offered so much for dried
prunes, regardless of their real quail.
ties. Associations for elevation of the
standard of the quality will do much
good. realize that many of the
fruitgrowers are doing good, conscien
tious work, and are turning out a first
class product; but l have been sur
prised at the extent of careless methods
in gathering, drying and caring for the
prune, and desire to urge upon all the
utmost care in every detail of produc'
ton of the prune.

Dangers OF whaIehunting.

San Francisco, Oct. THE officers
ofthe whaler Belagu tell of the terrible
fate Of Oscar Huschenbett, sailor, in
the Arctic. On August 26, 1898, the
boats were lowered for an enormous
whale. Just after harpoon had been
fixed in the whales side and he had
started off at tremendous speed, Hus-
chenbett stepped carelessly into the
ropes blight. A loop caught his leg
and he was drawn into the water. In
passing out of the boat the body of the
man hurled itself against Third Mate
Nikito and one of the crew, knocking
both overheard. The mate scrambled
up and slashed the rope into with his
knife. Then began chase for the
whale and the body of the man. For
three hours the monster raced and sank
to the bottom before he could be lanced
and the sailors body recovered.

Managua, Nicaragua, Oct. 7.-The
court-martial which was in session here
Tor several months trying, in the alb
sence OF most of them, the chiefs of the
revolutionary movement which began
In February at Bluefelds, has pro-
Claimed its decision General Pablo
Reyes and two or three other insurgent
officers who escaped from Nicaragua,
are condemned to suffer the extreme
penalty of the law, which is death.
Only one of the prominent leaders was
captured. He is now in the peniten.
tiary. No public accusation was made
IN these cases nor is any reason offered
for the arrests. The sensation is all
the greater because there have been no
indications of an uprising against Presi-
dent Zelaya since last February.
Such lawless acts as the government
Is committing in this regard, acts
usually at the expense of members of
the party not in power, tend to check
the reviving activity and again to i'm
pair credit. Except for such arrests,
however, and the impressment into her
army, matters are fairly quiet.

Trained Pigeons.

Pigeons are carefully trained. The
young homer is taken half mile the
first day, mile the second, two miles
the third, and SO on, doubling the dis
tance each time. 1t must be liberated
each time only in the same direction rs
to its loft, for a bird can be trained
along only one route at time. When
40 miles have been reached, week 5
rest comes between. A hundred miles
are enough for young birds first year.
SO essential is the training that old
birds are taken only two miles out for
the first lesson Of season, though they
may have flown their $50 miles the
year preceding. The end of the next
season, however, will, if the birds are
willing and the trainer patient, be
crowned by the accomplishment of a
400 mile fight. AS you get higher in
the scale OF distance. longer and longer
rests are needed.
Male birds are generally used for
long distances. Family matters are apt
to engross the attention of the hen,
though she is still capable of good work
when she has mind for it.-Good

WILL GEN. ALdER RETIRE ?
Absence from Cabinet Meeting
Taken as Significant.

Washington, Jan. l8.-The alb
sence of Secretary Alger from the
cabinet meeting yesterday has
been seized on as significant, and
rumors of the secretary's expected
retirement are freely circulated.
The Iumors, however, are not
traceable to any authentic source.
1t is stated this morning that Gen.
eral Alger did not attend the
meeting owing to the serious ILL
ness of his daughter. The same
reason prevented him from accom-
panying the party of army officers
and congressman who left here
last night for New York to wit
ness the departure of the transport
Grant for Manila.
1t is said that Secretary Alger
has not the faintest idea of retir-
ing from the cabinet during the
present administration.

A LETTER FROM MANILA.
[ooscLuDED FROM YESTERDAY. |

1t bad come to such pass that
we were compelled to do some
thing, and if there had not been a
change for the better, / am afraid
there would have been trouble.
Although we were not allowed TO
send the cablegram from Manila,
we sent it from Hong Kong, the
London Times man taking it.
All signed it except one company
who were afraid OF the officers.
From the day the cablegram was
sent there has been wonderful
change not only in the quality of
food, but in various other things.
Sickness began to decrease and
all enjoyed better health. When
the Colorado people learn the
truth of how we were treated,
someone most likely will have to
give an account of himself The
Red Cross society of San Francis
co gave us tons of canned fruit
and various other things to eat
while on our voyage, but not bit
of it did we receive. On the Fourth
of July the officers gave us pref
ty good dinner, which they claimed
was paid for out of their own
pockets. Notwithstanding this,
we were compelled to pay twenty
and thirty cents can for peaches,
and prices in proportion for other
things to eat that were freely given
us by the Red Cross society. l
can say with all truthfulness that
had we not brought extra food we
would have almost starved. Who
is to blame for this outrage l do
not know, but the day will come
when the man or men responsible
will have to explain.
Now as the trouble with Spain
is over, we do not care to stay here
longer than is absolutely neces-
sary, We have been in the worst
places from The time we landed,
and are considered the best regi-
ment on the islands. We want to
hold the record wehaye made, but
there is a limit to all things, and
when over a thousand men join
together to accomplish a purpose
success is sure to follow. The
cablegram stated only facts as they
existed at the time. and contained
the signatures of over thousand
men of the regiment.
The band has just returned from
guard mount. 1t is nine O'Clock
and | will have to see about pre-
pairing dinner. We live fairly we'll
now, and on our bill of fare can
be found fresh meats, Irish and
sweet potatoes, new onions, corn,

Large Increase of Wealth.

Naturally the opposition to trusts
grows as people see them taking such
large shares of the new riches. But,
then, somebody must make money, and
the big fellows. as usual, get the most
of it. The wealth of this country has
taken Il mighty leap, and indeed the
whole world is prospecting. Miners are
digging S60,00O,0OO more of gold this
year than last, and they will dig $780,
100000 more next year than this. Ac-
cOrding TO a recent report of the geo
logical survey, the mineral wealth of
the United States has increased al
most hundred per cent since 1880,
and it now amounts to the eXtraordin-
airy total of about S70O,0O0,O0O a year.
There never was such prosperity
among the manufacturers.
With plenty prices go up. Trusts
look at the totals and on fractions of
increase make their millions. 1t thus
costs more to live. Food is dearer,
taxes are higher, and with a foreign
war on hand and an army of 1O0, 900
to support there are no Immediate
stances wages have been advanced.
but, taking the country as whole, it
is an open question whether or not the
average man is getting more or wheth-
er or not the trusts are monopolizing
his Enthusiastically Evening Post.
