Price of Prunss.

The prune crop is one of con-.
siderable Importance in, Benton,
county and next to saving the
crop the most important item is
the matter of price. Taken alto
gether the crop in this county is
thought to be somewhat shy of
what it might be. in some in
stances it is known to be short OF
former years. Reviewing the
prune situation in the East the
New York Journal of Commerce
Of September 2os ays:
Oregon Italians are cleaned up
here, and according to reports
from a number of sources the cou-
ditions on the Coast have been
completely changed by the great
damage done to the, crop by re-
cent rains. Packers are trying
to cancel contracts and are with
drawing offerings. The last quo
tatious were on a cent f. o. b.
basis for 4os and ~ to ~ cents
f. o. b. basis for smaller sizes.
The bare condition of the spot
| market aud the near approach OF
the active consuming season
| creates strong demand for new
crop prunes, on the way nearby,
which can only be partially salts
fed owing to the small quantity
to arrive within the next week or
twothat is not already sold. Asan
illustration Of the eagerness Of
buyers to get supplies it is report
ed that 7Acents delivered in New
York was paid yesterday for 4os
TO arrive next week. The Coast
market is firm on the basis of 2 II
cents f.. O. b. for the four sizes o1

Making a Good Run.

Misses, Aida Metcalf and Anna
French are making a neck-and-
neck race in canvassing for sub
scriptions in Benton county, In
order to win the free trip to the
Jamestown Exposition next May.
The proposition has been duly
explained in former issues of the
Gazette, viz: That the girl Sc
curing the most subscriptions to
the Pacific Northwest, published
at Portland, will be taken to the
exposition by the editor of that
paper, free, along with party
including one girl from every
other county in Oregon. -
Farmers and business men are
literally supporting the two Cor
Wallis workers and the Citizens
League is aiding them in every
way possible.
Regarding the trip and the
same contest in Albany, for Linn
couaty, the Herald says:
Arrangements have been made
through the Commercial Club of
this city whereby Miss Gladys
Shaw, daughter of Charles Shaw,
will visit the Jamestown Exposi-
ton and many of the larger cities
in the interest of Linn county.
Miss Shaw will be taken by Phil
lip S. Bates, of Portland. pub
Usher of the Pacific Northwest.
One young lady will probably be
chosen from each county in the
state, making the biggest aggre-
CATION of Oregon boosters ever east
OF the Rockies. The party wings
over the Canadian Pacific down
the Great Lakes, stopping at
Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and AL
bany, then by day boat down the
Hudson from Albany to New
York City, then on to Washing
ton and the Jamestown fair, re-
turning by way of Pittsburg,
Dayton, Chicago and St. Paul.
In all the larger cities the young
ladies will be interviewed by tn :
Sunday papers on the resources
of the various sections and q
large amount of publicity will bs
obtained in this manner. Mis-!
Shaw will obtain subscriptions
for the Pacific Northwest through
out the country, and has no com
petition, which assures her th'
trip.

Former Corvallis Woman.

At the morning session of the
w. c. T. U. little groups of wo-
men were scattered here and
there discussing the much moot
ed question of the election Of
president, and up to the hour of
II o'clock, when the voting be-
gan, the political atmosphere had
the hazy hue that is to be seen
about "headquarters' when a
Governor is to be nominated.
The battle was short and de-
cisive and with the counting OF
the ballots the ins were sweet and
serene and the outs-well, they

EgIin Had Cramps"

George Rglin, formerly of Cor
Wallis where he is we'll known,
has become quite successful
detective aud has hid some queer
experiences in his line of work.
whi>h is in connection with the
anti-saloon league. His latest
stunt is related in the Telegram,
Saturday, as follows:
According to Attorney w. T.
Vaughn, for the defense, G. F.
Eglin, detective of the Oregon
Ant,-Saloon League, was over
Jealous in his efforts to secure
evidence to convict druggists F.
j. Clarke, of Highland, and G.
H. Hemstock, of University
Park, of illegal liquor selling.
The case is being tried by
Jury in Judge Gantenbein's court
today. Attorney Vaughn say:
Eglin, when he set out to Sc
cure evidence against the drug
gists, went into one of the store'
so disguised as to appear In dire
distress. He was bent dowr
and walked with considerable
difficulty. He told the druggist
that he had been seized will
cramps, and was suffering terri
bly, and besought the druggist:
to let him have a small bottle o
blackberry brandy, saying tha
he had not had time to procure
prescription from physician
He secured the liquor, and then
according to the attorney, enact
ed a similar scene in the othe
drugstore with the same result.

ON THE IsTHMUs.
r. c. Wygant of Lincoln County
Writes Letter.

Thinking knowledge of the
real state of affairs on the 18th
mus might be of interest to your
self and readers, I volunteer the
information to the best OF my
poor ability.
l left Newport on the morning
of July IS and sailed from New
York on the 2Sth of July.
The ship left the pier at 8 p.
m., and in few minutes I had
said goodbye to the Statue OF
Liberty and had seen my last of
the States, for awhile, at least.
We had very pleasant voyage,
it being stormy only one
day, the third out. We passed
Cape Maisi, Cuba, the 9th DAY
out and arrived at Colon the sew.
enth, docking at 7 a. m.
The fist view you get OF Colon
from the water is very beautiful,
a mass of corrugated iron and
dobie walls with grass-thatched
roots and a background of palm,
banana, plantain and cocoanut
trees. But after you land this
romantic scene changes to a hor-
rible combination of stinks,
smells and noises, and a dirty
wretchedness that is disgusting
and makes fellow want to get
out into the interior, where they
can at least get a breath of pure
air-even if it is warm.
Panama, on the other hand, is
very picturesque and retains its
beauty on closer inspection. Its
beautiful harbor filled with
quaint little native boats and
American shipping, the small
blue waves tapping the shores,
hardly worthy of the name or
dignity of breakers, and all sur
rounded with beautiful fringe
of tropical trees, giving an ap-
pearance OF delightful, sleepy in
dolence. Back of this and the
quaint old dobie-walled city
rises Ancon Hill, sheer $50 feet
from the surrounding plain and
overlooking the canal for many
miles. On the side of this is the
Ancon Hospital, the largest aud
best of its kind in the world.
