Prunes Id Bentoi1.

Mr.. Kurtz, Of Kurtz & Son,
arrived in Corvallis, Friday.
This firm deals in prune dryers
and Mr.. Kurtz was here on busi-
ness In this line. His house will
build a dryer for parties at Mon.
roe, one for Herron Bros, of
Irish Bend. It is quite probable
that he will receive the contract
for putting up a dryer for parties
IN Corvallis. It is thought that
quite number Of new dryers
will be put in operation in Ben
ton county this year, as there is
abundant indication of a large
crop of prunes this year. w.
K. Allen, the Authority on
prunes, recently returned from
the East. While there he inves-
tigated the market conditions
and is satisfied that we can OBJ.
tain just as mach for our primes
according TO size as the Cali
forniatis. AT present we get
about a cent peuad less fer
prunes Of the same size. He
was in hope that upon his return
he woald at least find a number
OF county organizations taking
hold of this matter. It lies at
the very foundation of suesess
and he can not see any chance Of
the prune business of the Nerth-
west going onto really salts
factory basis until we inaugurate
some system which will secure a
uniformity Of character Ia our
product upon which dealers can
depend.
Mr.. Allen advises all growers
of prunes to grade cut the small
ones before drying and give their
time to the curing in the best
possible manner of the large
sizes. Don't dry the small ones
at all.

the following account of a mys-
>terious stabbing afray which &C.
CARED in Portland, Friday night.
The circumstances in the case
point SO strongly to the injured

times about the body, aud was
conveyed, in a critical condition,
to St. Vincents Hospital. He
said it was a family matter and
he did not wish to make any fur-
ther statement. sAs to the per.
son who cut fne, that is my af-
fair he stated. When the af-
fray occurred, he was promptly
conveyed to DR.. Beyd's Office,
$50 Williams Ave, but after a
short examination of the mans
injuries, DR.. Boyd decided that
Kennedy had better be taken to
the hospital, and this was done.
"Deteetives Snow and Kerri-
gan were placed on the case, and
they visited Kennedy's home at
an early hour this morning, but
no definite information could be
obtained"
A later item states that the
wounded man is resting easily al
st. Vincent's Hospital. Ne ar.
rests have been made yet, and
Kennedy refuses to say whe

family affair. His wife says that
she does not know who her hus.

that the train had parted and that the
brakemen were at work twisting the
brakes in order to bring the runaway

had gone on lively run before the en-
gineer succeeded in coming to a stop.
Word was sent to Mt. Pleasant and the
wreck trains from Wilmington and

KENTON, Aug. 2O.-Peaches are now
coming into market quite lively. The
fruit is generally of good quality and
brings good price. The tomato crop,
like most other crops of this year, is
somewhat late and it is now a pretty
certain thing that there will be but a
short crop in this vicinity.
Corn has reached living figure. 1t
has been some time since it retailed at
So cents. The report has been circu-
lated that the crop in the West will be
very short this year, hence farmers in
this community are hoping for good
prices this fall. Some of the buyers are
already offering so cents per bushel for
new corn. This is early to begin to
speculate in this years crop, but the
prospect now is for a yield that will
exceed anything we have had of for a
number OF years.
The p. o. S. of A. will hold their
State Convention at Kenton next
Wednesday afternoon, at which time q
delegate will be elected to represent
the State at the National Convention
to be held at Buffalo in the near future.
