The drouth, late freeze and
hail combined has settled our
peach crop for this year. There
will, however, be some plums
and cherries and maybe grapes,
that is, barring future mishaps.
The orchards so far visited by
our reporter, w. F. Heller's and
Sam Lotions, close to town,
give evidence of producing a
very fair crop of cherries and
plums but other fruit including
apples will be extremely short.
Mr.. Heller has a few apple
trees which are just beginning
to bloom aud he is very enthusi.
astic about them. He claims a
fine apple and certain crop for
this late blooming variety and
saws there is a fortune in them

TO ADVERTISE OREGON
The .. II, ~ N. Co. Out with n Book of
General Information.

The .. II, n N. Co. Out with n Book of
General Information.
One of the handsomest booklets ever
issued illustrating in text and photo
graph the immense resources of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho has just been
published in an edition of $4,000 copies
by General Passenger Agent Craig of
the o. r. & N company. The descrip-
tive matter was written, the tables COM
piled, the photographs collected and the
whole work supervised by Advertising
Agent Rinaldo M. Hall. Nothing more
complete or more attractive has ever
been gotten out to catch the eye of the
home seeker or the investor.
The booklet is the newest develop
ment of series which the Oregon Rail-
road & Navigation company and the
Southern Pacific Railroad company have
been publishing for some years, but is
by far the largest and most complete
issued. In addition articles on the eli
mate, on dairy farming, fishing, the fish
ing industry, hop raising, lumberlng,
mining, stock raising and farming of
every sort, the book contains several de-
partments never introduced before.
Ono of these covers diversified farm
ing, giving an idea of what can be done
with comparatively small acreage. An
article on irrigation tells how communi-
ties have sprung up almost overnight,
where the desert has been made to
bloom by artificial means.
Aside from the features of interest to
specialists in various lines of industry
there is much that attracts the ordinary
reader, and as pleasant and lnstruc-
tive hours reading the book g recon-
mended, Only Nebraska and Iowa have
a smaller percentage Of illiteracy than
Oregon, which stands third OF all the
states of the union with an average Of
995S per cent of educated persons. Ii
there is any town in Oregon iuwhich you
are interested you will find something
about it under the head Of Condensed
Information.
Mississippi, Georgia, New York, Mas
sachusetts and Pennsylvania all have
better title to the name "the webfoot
state" than Oregon, for little table of
rainfall shows that the chief city in
every one Of these states has more rain
annually than Portland.
One chapter is devoted to the Lewis
and Clark fair. and another to Portland,
the rose city of the Pacific northwest.
Throughout the book is handsomely
illustrated with photographs taken es-
pecially for the work.
