PROMISE BIG FRUIT CROP.
Grand Ronde Valley Orchards Held
Back by the Cold Weather.

The cold weather which killed early
fruit in many parts of the state has
insured the largest apple crop ever
enjoyed by Grand Ronde valley, ac-
cording to Conductor Frank Coyken-
dali of the Huntington pas
senger run, who has just returned
from La Grande, where he attended a
meeting of the executive committee of
the Grand Ronde Fruitgrowers' union
at that place.
Never before in the history of the
valley has there been such a promise
of good apple crop as now. The
young orchards are free from pests
vigorous, thrifty and hardy and the
late, cold weather, has prevented the
swelling of the buds until it will be
late enough to escape frost.
The Fruitgrowers' union just organ.
ized In La Grande, is now making ar
rangements to secure an expert packer
TO have charge of the large packing
plant to be conducted by the union
through which practically all of thu
fruit crop Of Union county will pass
The union Will sort the fruit, pack /
in an expert manner and send ou
nothing but absolutely first-clas
| fruit.
Already they have received request
from Montana, Texas, Iowa, Kansas
| Missouri and Nebraska wholesal
dealers, asking for the exclusive righ
| to handle the fruit output of tn
union in those states.
1t is hoped that fancy prices will b
received for every box sent out fror
the valley this season through the co
| operation of the growers.

"Piff, Paff, Pouf," March 80.

Fred Mace, the clever comedian of
"Piff, Paff, Pouf," started In three
professions before he hit upon the one
that was to be his life work. First
he studied law in Philadelphia and
found it too prosaic: then he learned
undertaking, which he found too SOL
emn calling. Next he studied dem
tistry, and graduating from Hahne-
man college, Philadelphia, practiced
teeth pulling for year in Erie. From
the time he entered the study of law,
Mace says thai his inclination was
.toward the STAGE, but owing to family
objections. he did not accept several
good offers from theatrical manag-
ers. Finally the spirit to become an
actor became uncomfortable, and he

HAILED BEFORE GRAND JURY.
Prosecution of Land Fraud Gases Goes
MerTily On.

The United States grand jury has
practically finished its investigation
of the offenses against the postal de-
partment and is now working on land
cases, says Portland paper. The ma
ture of the land cases has not been
made public, but it is known that a
snwmill company in Crook county is
accused of cutting timber for which
the government was never reim-
bursed.
Deputy United States Marshal
Griffith arrived from Crook county
yesterday, having in charge two men
summoned to give evidence before
the grand jury relative to illegal cut
ting of timber. One is a cook, once
connected with the sawmill company,
the other a mill employe.
A special agent from the land de-
partment has been working on the
Crook county case for several weeks
Several special agents were before the
grand jury yesterday, and it is hint
ed that there is disagreeable sur
prise in store for some prominent
millmen and loggers in Oregon.
To bring the witnesses from Crook
county it was necessary for the dep
nty United States marshal who serv-
ed the papers to travel more than
zoo miles by team, and a great part
of the trip was made in the face of
a blizzard.

and bladder are out of order.
What To DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilner's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. II stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine
YOU should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
