FRUIT PROSPECTS IN LINN.
Prunes Will Yield Big, but Peaches and
Pears are Blighted.

Fruit men report that the prune
yield in Linn county this year will
exceed that of any previous season
The numerous large orchards around
Albany have been covered with bios
soms, and now the fruit has set success
fully. The weather has been just the
kind needed, and nothing but freeze
could now destroy it. The young fruit
is too far advanced to be injured by
frosts, unless they were very heavy
and continued for some time.
There will be no peaches around here.
OF the fruits which may be consid-
cred crop the yield in pears will prob
ably be the lightest. The pear trees
seem to be blighted. Early in the
season the trees were covered with
blossoms, but just about the time for
the fruit to set the blossoms Withered
and died. It does not look like the
work of frost, but is pronounced blight
by orchardists.
Nothing but prolonged cold weather
can prevent the largest fruit yield in
the history of Linn county.

CANAL TREATY WILL WIN.
american Commission Talks of Its Visit
to isthmus Canal Site.

Washington, May 12.-The subcom.
mlttee OF the Isthmian canal commits.
sion, consisting of Rear Admiral
Walker, General Haines and Professor
Burr, which visited the Isthmus of
Panama to inspect the work and pron.
erty OF the new canal company, has re.
turned to Washington.
The mission of the committee was az.
compiished quicker than was anticipat.
eo. The commission found that while
the canal company has EMPLOYED on
the work about 1900 men, little IN a
definite or effective way is being accom-
plIshed. Just enough work is being
done to keep the project alive.
Members of the commission saw the
ratification of the canal treaty pv the
United States senate was received en-
Enthusiastically by the people on the
isthmus. Property values have in.
creased rapidly, and real estate along
the route of the canal continues to rise.
On arrival at the isthmus the men,
bers of the commission let it be known
that their mission was purely one of
engineering, and that, individually or
coilsctlvely. they had nothing to do
with the practical or diplomatic phases
OF the situation. Some valuable data
was gathered, and these will be report
cd to the full committee. Subsequently,
upon the appointment of the commits.
sion which will supervise the construc-
slon OF the waterway, the information
will be presented to it.
Members of the commission are of
The opinion that the treaty will eventu.

WILL DRAW PENSIONS.
New York Firms Practical Plan for PEN
sioning Employees.

New York Firms Practical Plan for Pen
sioning Employees.
New York, May IA The Gorhan
manufacturing company, the promi.
nent silversmiths of New York and
Providence, r. l., has recently put
into operation a plan for pensioning
their $500 employees in factory and
stores which has been most favorably
commented upon by leading sociolo-
gists.
The plan provides that any employe
whose record is satisfactory to the COM
pany may be placed upon permanent
pension roll, provided he has served
the company for at least % years, and
receive thereafter as long as he lives, a
pension equal to per cent of his wage
at the time of retirement for each year
of service. Thus man who has been
with the Gorham company 40 years
will receive an annual pension payable
in monthly installments of 40 per cent
Of the amount he was being paid at the
time he retired.
Ample provision has been made by
the company to create a permanent
pension fund without taxing the en-
ployes for the purpose. This is one of
the most generous, and at the same
time practical. plans yet devised for
profit sharing on an acceptable basis.

WRAkGEL MINERALS,
District of Alaska Discussed i'm deoloei-

District of Alaska Discussed i'm Geoloei-
cal Survey Papers.
Washington, May 13.- The United
States geological survey has in press
for early publication a paper on the
mineral resources of the Mount Wran-
gel district, Alaska, by Walter G. Men,
denhall and Frank G. Schrader. The
paper opens, with brief introduction
in which the history of this now we'll
known copper district of Southern
Alaska is traced from the time of the
stampede of 1898 to the present. The
discussion of the mineral resources of
the region is then taken up and the
copper. gold, coal and other minerals
that are known to exist or have been
reported from time to time, are treated
in turn. The information presented is
the latest that is available, having been
collected in great part in the course of
geologic investigations made by the
authors during the season of 1902.
The copper resources of the region
are first discussed. The copper deposits
occur in two somewhat widely separ-
ated fields, lying along the southern
and northern slopes, respectively, of
the Mount Wrangel group of noun
tains, lofty volcanic chain, which di.
verges from the st. Elias range near
the Alaska Canadian boundary and ex-
tends $50 miles westward, ending alb
ruptly in the Copper river valley.
The best known copper field lies
within the southern area and ia oon.
orally spoken of as the Chitina copper
belt. The geologic history of this
belt is briefly reviewed with special
reference to the processes that have
affected the greenstones and lime
stones within which the copper deposits
are found. After this review, the var
ious properties are described in detail,
some of those that are best known
being the Elliott Creek group, the Bo.
nanza claim, just east of Kennicott
Glacier, and the Nicolai properties in
the Nizina country.

Secures Australian Mail Contract.

Vance uver B. c., May 13. - The
United steamship company, of New
Zealand, has just secured Ehe govern
ment subsidy for two years more for the
transportation of the British mails to
and from Australia. Had the Oceanic
steamship company, of San Francisco,
a competitor for the contracts, been
successful, the Canadian route would
probably have had to be abandoned. A
new modern steamer will be placed on
the run between Vancouver and Sydney
in place of the steamship Miowera.

HALT IN RURAL DELIVERY.
No More New Routes VIII Be Established
Until After July I.

Washington, May IA. - Postmaster
General Payne today announced that
there would be no more establishments
of rural free delivery service until July
1, the beginning of the next fiscal year.
This is one result of investigation of
postofice affairs, and the discovery that
at the present rate of increase of routes
there will be deficit of 500, GOO in the
rural free delivery service by the end
of this fiscal year. Instructions have
been given to Fourth Assistant Post
master General Bristow to curtail ex-
penditures. 1t is not intended, how
ever, that the Investigation of proposed
routes shall be suspended, and the
field work therefore will continue. Mr..
Payne estimates that the total number
of routes fairly entitled to be estab-
lished in the entire country would be
38, 1000, and at the present rate of in
crease this would be reached two years
hence.
Mr.. Payne said tonight that he had
asked the civil service commission to
have it's representatives make an in
vestigation of the Washington post
Office, in addition to the investigation |
already made by postoffice inspectors.
He said this action was taken on ac-
count of charges of violations of the
civil service law in that Office. The
civil service men, he said, will make
their report tomorrow.

FIGHT WITH FIRE.
Ottawa, Canada, Sustains Heavy Loss :
Hundreds Lose Their Homes.

Ottawa, May ia fire, suspected
to be of incendiary origin, this after
noon and evening destroyed hundreds
of houses and millions of feet of lumber
in this city. The fire originated within
stones throw of where the great Hull
fire of April 26, 1900, was checked.
The Hull fire started on the opposite
side of the river and spread to the OF
tawa side, destroying millions of dol
lars worth of property. 1t burned
out near where the Ottawa & Parry
Sound railway enters the western part
of the city, and it was in the lumber
yards near the railroad that today's
fire originated.
An hour before the principal fire
started two smaller blazes were dis
covered and quickly extinguished in the
lumber yards near the Canadian Pacific
railway. It was $3.50 when the third
was discovered. When the brigade ar
rived at the scene it was found that the
water main had been damaged and no
water could be obtained. When the
brigade did get water the fire was
utterly beyond it's control. 1t swept
along over the same ground that the
former fire had gone, the only differ
ence being that it was going in the op-
posite direction
The fire was on the fats below
large cliff which extends from the Of
tawa river into the corner of Margaret
and Preston streets. AT two or three
points it came very near getting..over
the cliff, and had it done so nothing
would have saved the city
Fifteen million feet Of lumber, be-
longing principally to j. R. Booth,
were destroyed, causing loss of $780,
900. The buildings burned were
dwellings and stores, most |
Of which were built since the last |
great fire, and were mostly of brick. |
It is difficult to place the loss OF these. |
There are nearly 600 families home-
ess. Mayor Cook says the city would

Canada. The loss on buildings is esti-
mated at 100000, making total loss

MAY IGNORE FOREIGN BID.
War Department Wants Americans to
Handle Alaskan Business.


Washington, May 13-The war de-
partment is wrestling with the question
whether contract for transportation
of troops and supplies can be awarded
to foreign company. Among the bids
for Alaskan transportation for the COM
ing year was one from the White Pass
railroad, which operates in Alaska and
the Yukon territory. A hearing was
given today by Assistant Secretary
Sanger to representatives of the North
ern commercial company and the White
Pass railroad. but no decision has been
reached.
Judge Advocate General Davis, with
out making final recommendation, has
called attention to the undesirability of
transporting American troops over
foreign railroad and through foreign
territory when the bid of an American
carrier is but slightly higher than that
of the foreign line, as in this instance,
and the department is inclined to turn
down the foreign bid. The entire set
of Alaskan transportation contracts are
awaiting a decision on the White Pass
bid,

been concluded by the board that no
necessity exists for the further issuance
of the bulletins. The board fully be-
lieves that the town is now entirely free
from thes disease, having had no new
cases since April 81, although there are
now several cases in quarantine who
were exposed prior to that time, and a

NEW RIFLE FOR THE ARMY.
United States VIII Have the Most Pow
erful Weapon in the World.


Washington, May 12.-The army
board, which has been for months past
considering the merits of the new serv-
ice rife, or musket, has finally declared
in favor of weapon with barrel only
"a inches in length, using a 80 ball.
The new gun is a remarkable weapon,
according to the ordnance officers, for
while it is six inches shorter than the
Krag and only two inches longer than
the carbine, it is more powerful than
either, with higher initial velocity
and f1atter trajectory. It can easily
penetrate "a one-inch planks. 1t is
one pound lighter than the service rife,
which is a consideration in the tropics.
A new feature is the complete encase-
ment OF the barrel in wood to prevent
burning of the hands of the a1ksman
when the gun is rapidly discharged.
The gun was evolved by the United
States army officers. and is not patent
ed. 1t is said to be the most powerful
musket in the world.

Wood Supply is Short.

There is very serious shortage in
the supply of frewood in Salem, and
prices are certain to be high this sum-
mer and next winter. There is possi-
bility of what may almost be wood
famine, for the amount of wood that
has been cut is far short of the guam
tity that will be needed for homo use.
AS consequence of this condition OF
affairs there will be good money in the
wood business for farmers who have
timber they can cut.
