Rock Island Will Connect Chickasha
and Pauls Valley.

The Rock Island will open new line
on August 1 to operate between Chicka-
sha and Pauls Valley where it will con-
meet with the Santa Fe.
The line was constructed prior to the
flood which did serious damage to rail-
road property in the Indian Territory
and would have been opened much
sooner but for that catastrophe. The
new line will be a branch of the Chock-
taw properties of the Rock Island and
will be 20 miles in length. The three
stations on it will be Alex, Bradley and
Lindsey. Between Lindsey and Pauls
Valley the line will be operated jointly
by the Rock Island and Santa Fe.

PRUNE CROP is LARGE
Fully Thirty Million Pounds Will Be
Marketed This Year.

Oregon prunegfowers will do we'll
this year as the crop is large and
prices bid fair to be good, according
to President Smith, Of the State Board
of Horticulture.
II look for fully 3O,OOO,OOO pounds
of dried prunes as Oregon's output
this Fall, and the shortage in the
Eastern states and Europe will cause
good prices to prevail. The Oregon
prune reaches out farther into the
worlds markets every year, and this
season they will be sent into Eastern
Canada where a good demand pre-
walls"
He thinks that pruneraising will
prove profitable industry one year
with another, where the grower has a
large orchard and has good facilities
for handling the fruit By large
orchard he means 40 acres and up
ward. He does not consider 10-acre
prune orchard large enough to justify
the grower in making prunegrowing
business.
Mr.. Smith, however, is not engaged
in prunegrowing, himself, but devotes
his time to apple raising in the Hood
River district. He predicts con-
tinued prosperity for Hood River
orchardists this year as the Hood
River apple has now a name abroad
and the apple crop Of the East is near
ly failure.
