oREeoN's APPLE CROP.
Outlook Promising for Large Crop and
Fine Quality.
matter

Jacksonville Times: A. ]. Mason,
president of the Hood River Apple
Growers Union, in response to an in
quiry from the International Apple
Packers Association concerning the ap-
pie crop in the state of Oregon, esti-
mates the crop for Hood River at 49,
900 boxes, and from information sup
piled the board of directors of the ap-
pie union he places the crop for the
state at 100000 boxes.
B. Wees, representing F. Newell &
Sons of Chicago, was in Hood River
recently, coming from the Yakima val
ley, where he says the farmers will
harvest the biggest apple crop in the
history of that valley. He estimates
the crop there at 100000 boxes, and
says that the Wenatchee valley will
have possibly 10000 boxes. He says
the Yakima apple crop will be of fine
quality. That country can produce
better Ben Davis and Winesaps, says
Mr.. Wees, but the Rogue river and
Hood River valleys surpass the world
in quality and color of the Spitzen-
berg and the Yelloy Newtowns.

COMMERCIAL OUTLOOK.
Abundant Crops Make Trade Prospects
Promising.

New York, Aug. 1S.-Speculative
sentiment has been somewhat con-
fused this week as revealed in the
movements in the stock market. But
the government crop report of condi-
tions of the grain crops August 1. quiet
ed fears regarding the extent of dam
age done to wheat and occasioned
cheerful expectations regarding the
corn crop in addition to the cotton
crop. The stock market turned strong
in consequence. Fears Of disrup-
tion Of the pools for maintaining prices
of steel products were disquieting in
fluence and the unsettled labor situa-
tion had a conservative effect. Furi-
Gus speculation in the Metropolitan
Traction stocks on rumors of a trac-
tion merger. was a leading feature of
the week.

PLENTY OF GOLD DUST NOW.
Rush to Tanana Continues and 1000 to
5000 viii Spend Winter There.

Rush to Tanana Continues and 1000 to
5000 viii Spend Winter There.
A. Dawson letter to the Victoria, B.
c., Daily Colonist gives the following
account of conditions in the new min
ing district:
Four to five thousand people will
spend the winter in the Tanana camp.
This is the estimate made by Leroy
Tozier, a well known Dawson lawyer,
formerly Of Portland, Ore, and Seat
tie. Tozier has been in Fairbanks at
tending court, and has just returned
to Dawson on the steamer Monarch to
wind up his affairs here preliminary to
establishing himself in the law bus
mess in Fairbanks.
Tozier says that Fairbanks is similar
to Dawson in the rush days. Buildings
are being erected everywhere and peo-
pie are pouring in daily by steamer
from the lower Yukon and the upper
Yukon. 1t is estimated that the fleet
of steamers serving Tanana will not be
able to land enough food supplies there,
but it may be that the big companies
will increase the service by putting on
more boats which have been idle, and
thus rush stocks. Machinery is TAX
ing up much of the most valuable
space.
The miners who spent last winter in
Tanana formed an association and sent
out themselves for their supplies. They
are coming in by way of the upper
river.
Tozier declares that all that is need
ed to make Tanana big producer are
miners, provisions and machinery. He
declares there are enough business
houses in all lines in the place, and too
many in some lines. Restaurant bus
mess is overdone. Lodging houses well
be plentiful by fall, but now they are
few. A house was finished the day
Tozier sailed, and that day all accom-
modations were taken. All had been
engaged month ahead. Laborers get
81 an hour, and carpenters and other
mechanics $3.50 an hour.
Gold dust is the common medium Of
exchange, and the appearances on the
streets are similar to those of 1898 in
Dawson. The work on the creeks will
begin with increased activity as soon
as snow flies and it is possible to haul
machinery to the creeks. Fairbanks is
levying a poll tax of IS head to-
build a road to Golden, the creek CEN
ter, IL miles out of town.
Freight is being refused by the Mon
arch for the present trip to Fairbanks.
All space on the boat has been en-
gagged, and much more freight offered
than can be carried.
The monarch people expect to make
one or two more trips after this. The

KILL DEER IN OCEAN.
Animal Takes Refuge From Dogs in
Water, and Is Slain BY Mob.

Water, and Is Slain by Mob.
Quite ripple OF excitement wa:
caused among the host of sojourners
at Clatsop beach a few. days ago By
the killing Of deer in the breakers
1t appears that some one had beer
hunting the deer with the hounds con-
trary to law, and that the animal, be-
ing closely pursued ran into the ocear
somewhere north Of Gearhart. Crat
hunters, clam diggers and fishermen
were scattered along the beach fol
miles, and all of them within sight al
once turned their attention to the cap
ture of the unfortunate animal, which
was not given ghost of a show for
its life.
The deer stayed out in the ocean for
an hour or more. but finally had to
make for the beach, where it was
headed off by fellow armed with a
popgun revolver, who waded out as
far as he could and emptied his
weaponn at it without apparently
hurting it. The poor brute then tried
to swim north in the face of the wind
and current, but after while had TO
make for shore, where it was met
by an armed mob, having all the shot
guns and deadly weapons that could
be found in the neighborhood. Bird
shot and buckshot were fired at it at
long range, and finally a rifle having
been brought II succumbed. some say
to a bullet from the rife, while others
say its head and shoulders were so
loaded with lead that it could not
keep its nose above water, and so was

hem claimed the honor of having shot /
t, and some said it was small deer,
while others said it was a four prong
d buck, rolling in fat. A reputable |
.itizen of Portland, who was present
1t the killing of the deer, says that the
atal shot was fired by Egbert Unger,
IN Oregonian carrier, who had the only !
life in the crowd, and that the ami
nal was as big as a calf, which is
bout as indefinite as most Of the
ther statements connected with the
natter.
