About AIS Saturday evening last.
Simon Bush, while making some re.
pairs at the top of Moses Bros. eleva-
tor, fell from a scaffold board that turn.
ed with him, and was precipitated to
the bottom of bin, distance of
about 65 feet. When becoming over
balanced he caught onto another
board, but it broke with his weight. In
falling he struck upon some iron rods
through the bin. He was conscious
when picked up; he said "boys my
back is hurt-youll have to help me
out" He asked that his brother. Will,
be sent for Immediately. He was put
in hack. but expired just as the hack
started up town. His back was
broken.
Deceased was aged 40 years and 9
months. He was of industrious habits.
quiet. and well liked by his associates.
A wife and two children. from whom
he had been parted for several years

years has run a wagon makers shop

3 Forest Z
Auen'sI
Corner

This would be artistic neat and prac-
teal. 1t would save half the wear on
the Main street crossing. Teams going
north or south on Main and up or down
Forest avenue would have but one
crossing to go over, instead of two as
is now the case. Besides this, there is
enough stone in the three crossings
now down, and the unsightly slabs
along on the east side of Main, to
make four good crossings on outside
streets; or what would cost the city
about SI75. The two brick walks
suggested could be put down for about
S16o. We earnestly hope our improve
ment committee will take note of these
suggestions and make these improve
ments in a practical. artistic manner.

A Spring Idyl-Somewhat Sprung.

House cleaning time is at hand, and
foot too, for that matter; it's rip up
and tear down. and lug out and carry
in, and move around and stand and
hold. and reach up. and tip over, and
fall through. and get it in the eye, and
get it in the neck, and go without, and
hunt, and get jawed, and jaw back. and
break up. and pull out, and whack and
pound, and thump and split and ham
mer, and get sent down town, and don't
come back for ever so long, and then
not bring what fellow was sent for,
and get it in the neck again, and don't
take very much of if, and are just lit
into good and plenty, and then roar and
paw the earth. and-zip. bang, smash.
slosh, gosh!-Salina Herald.

He Feels Like 80 Gents.

The man who feels like 80 cents is
glad to welcome spring; be likes to
watch the lambkins play. and hear the
birdiets sing; he likes to see the grass
again. the grass that clothes the earth,
and makes it look as fresh and young
as in its year of birth. He glories In
the sights and sounds which show that
spring is here, and yet he often has to
pause and brush away a tear; for in
the spring he'll have to seize his blamed
old garden re ke, and scratch the trash
away from off the lawn until bis in
ards ache. O. gentle spring, With
baimy breath, 0. come to my defenseI
Why do you make me feel so tired
so much like 80 cents?-H Howard Cour-
ant.

After years of toll and much disap-
pointment it is thought of the repre-
sentative men in attendance at the
meeting that horticultural conditions are
re-adiusting Themselves upon a sounder
basis, and that the golden age" is yet
ahead and not behind the Oregon fruit
grower.
At the first session held Friday even
ing, Prof. j. G. Hodson gave a hearty,
and at the same time thoughtful ad-
dress Of welcome on behalf of the citi-
zens Of Newberg. He welcomed the
visitors as men who are thinking, know
ing and doing. and who in meeting of
this nature, always give to their hearers
more than they take away. This is pri-
marily an age OF diffusion of ideas. Man
lives, not to himself alone, but as he
receives he also gives. Ideas and meth
DDS are worth but little until they are
diifused and put into practice, and these
conferences Of fruitgrowers conduce to
the necessary interchange of ideas.
The great demand now is for the best
products, and, while competition is
drawing the lines closer all the while,
the man who is not keeping step with
new conditions is left behind. Finally
these meetings help bring to the fruit
grower four requisites for his success
Iaith, enthusiasm, judgement and
knowledge.
The response was given by DR.. Card
we'll, who after replying appropriately
10 the cordial welcome received, gave a
review Of the work OF the society since
ts organic alton thirteen years ago.
Hon. r. l., Smith of Hood River pre-.
sident of the state board of horticulture,
gave a ringing address which was
enthusiastically received. He has dash
and energy which is contagious and
which carries a sense of conviction 10 his
hearers.
Speaking OF organization, Mr.. Smith
said it is matter OF necessity that fruit
growers associate themselves closely
together to obtain satisfactory results.
This is the day when corporations and
not individuals transact the business of
