The people along the Ohio river

their annual penalty for nearly cen
tury of forest waste. In and about
Pittsburgh $4,000 men are idle be-
cause Of the stoppage Of factories by
late foods. The losses Of the rail-
ways alone will exceed s1.000,0OO. The
damage TO bindings, by delay Of or

Cincinnati the food has already
reached the danger line, and may
rise as high as the record-breal,ing
mark Of 1854. says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
Most people dismiss the ravages
of flooded rivers as unavoidable ac-
cidents. But why did the Ohio in 1854
reach at Cincinnati the highest point
on record? 1t is not reasonable to
suppose that the rainfall that year
was heavier than 1t had been on sew

Present prospects seem favorable for
profitable apple crop for Oregon this
year. The apple crop IN many Of the

be ample and the best Of prices will
probably prevail. Oregon apples enjoy
wide spread reputation for excellent
quality. peculiar conditions OF climate
and soil uniting to produce most de-
sirable flavor. 1t is unfortunate that a
