Market for Our Frnit.

Apples sell lin Shanghai for 5
per box, silver, or $3.50 in gold
Oregon apples would find read,
market there and Consul H. B. Mil
ler, in writing to Colonel Dosch
says Oregon apples ought to get il
the swim. Several other interest
ing notes about market conditions
In the Orient are contained in Mr.
Miller's letter, as follows:
yakima apples come in here
every. year and sell for 81 in silver
per box, or $3.50 gold. A good
market could be had here for the
Oregon apples if they could be sold
at 50 gold per box. 1 see no reason
why the line Of steamers out Of
Portland could not take up the
matter and make business. Several
varieties of Oregon apples should
do well here.
"There are great many wealthy
Chinese living here, sand they eat
apples and like them, and I am
convinced that a good apple mar
ket can be made If reasonable
freight rates can be secured. All
apples shipped here should be care
fully selected, perfectly sound, well
wrapped and nicely boxed. Ishope
some one in Oregon will take up
this question and secure the trade.
'This il wealthy and prosper
GUS city and is going to be one of
the great cities of the world. Ore
gon can sell it -four, lumber and
fruit. If the prune organization
succeeds it should send represen-
tative to all the principal cities on
this side of the Pacific.
Peaches are grown here plenti-
fully, and they are fairly good,
although. they are not so large and
fine as the Oregon peaches. They
grow a peach mere that is fiat, about |
two and one-half to three inches in |
by one inch thick. It is |
rather sweeter than the common |
peach and / am inclined to think |
it would be an excellent peach to
grow in Southern Oregon, or posi-
bly, in the Willamette Valley. I /
would like for you to secure some
CRAFTS and have them tried. The
peach trees I have seen so far look
very healthy and vigorous. The
country about here is very fine
peach country and believe would
produce very fine French prune,
out it is too hot for the italian or
Oregon. Japan might grow the
Oregon prune if they had any soil;
out from what I saw of it, it was
'ocky. They actually grow good
on six inches of soil in
old rock. It requires water, fer
ilixers and much work.
If the marvellous natural condi-
ions[of the Philippines could be
with the industry, energy,
kill and patriotism of the japanese
he greatest wealth of the world
Vould be theirs"

They were nearly all accompanied

CONFLICT OVER SEWERS.

, CONFLICT OVER SEWERS.
Many Remonstrances and Petitions Pr
scented the Counci1.
The city council had an in
teresting meeting Wednesda
night. The progressive ele1nen
of the council and the conserva
tive element among certain Tax
payers came in conflict. Al
this happened after this manner
| Some time last summer the coun
Gil ordained that a sewer be con
structed down Jefferson street
and connect with a lateral sewer
at the expense of the city. Afte,
divers and sundry delays, thi.
sewers was finally constructed
during the present season, and i:
seemingly now ready to turn the
water on. But there seems tc
be an absence of water, as yet,
and the sewer is simply a big
holes in the ground, or rather a
hole through the ground, and
doing no one any good.
Some time during the sum-
mer the council directed Prof.
Shelton, of the college to make
surveys for lateral sewers to con-
meet with the main sewers, and
report to the council his surveys
and plans and specifications for
eRers where wanted by the
property owners. The city coun-
Gil held a special session last
Monday night, and at this meet
ing tive ordinances were intro
duced and passed directing the
opening of two sewers through
two tiers Of blocks in the north
end of town. One was to run
through the block where Mr..
Whitehorn lives and on north to
Judge Woodward's property; the
other through the blocks where
Mrs. Hairless and Mrs. Whita-
ker live. There was no opposi-
to these ordinances, and they
were passed by a unanimous vote
of the six members present.
The next day the notice to con-
tractors to put in bids for the
building of the sewer, and to-
property owners that their prop
erty would be assessed at certain
time and place to pay for the new
sewers, appeared in the Times.
This resulted in a remonsmance to
the council asking that no ordi-
nances be passed at this time or
dering sewers south of Jefferson
street. This remonstrance was
presented at a meeting of the
Wednesday night; an
other special meeting. At that
Meeting All ordinance was intro
1uced to run a sewer south from
Jefferson street through the Will
;on block, and the block next
;outh o. it. When the ordinance
lad been read the first time, the
'enlonstrance was presented and
he whole matter laid over until
he regular September meeting
IF the council.
This remonstrance stated to
he council that the property
owners signing it did not want
he sewer; that the city taxes
Ire excessive, and should be re.
iuced before asking further ex-
oenses of this nature; that the
:rops are so poor that many
owners can hardly pay
present tax obligations; that no
1ecessity exists for these lateral
as the surface openings
Ire sufficient to drain the proper
y affected, and all south of the
main sewer as we'll; and, while
he council expressed itself as
that the remonstrauce
vas too sweeping, asking for no
ewers to be built on the south
'ide of Jefferson street, they
promptly decided to lay the mat
er over until the next meeting.

of his Congressional career he has

they that his reputation on account Of
these is national. One was half an
hour in length. 1t was a witty and
eloquent criticism of Ambassador Bay
ard, at the time Bayard was making.
himself unpopular by his pro- English
remarks at London dinners. The other
was less than five minutes long. and
was spoken after the destruction OF
the Maine. Cousins sat silent in his
place for one full term before he ever
opened his mouth. 1t is more than two
years now since he last spoke. When
he takes the floor again he will have
an attentive audience.
1.-The most effective orator in the
House up to the time he was trans
ferred to the Senate a little while ago
was Dolliyer, of Iowa. Littlefield. OF
Maine: Lands, of Indiana, and Bailey,
of Texas, are three who have the ora
