fruit growers of Oregon will
receive for their crop for the
present year as estimated by Hon.
w. K. Newell, president of the
State Board of Horticulture. In
making his estimate Mr.. Newell
does not deal with fancy prices,
nor does he include the fruit that
will be consumed on the farm.
Gresham covered herself with
glory and was grateful to the
other towns of Multnomah coun-
ty for participating in her Fair.
The showing of live stock, vege-
tables and fruits was very fine;
there was great variety of enter
tainment; thousands from Port
land were in attendance. The
enterprise was a success and will
be repeated on larger scale next
year.
The Oregon State Dairy AS
sociation will hold its annual
session In Portland Thursday
and Friday, December IL, and
IS, instead of the 1o, and 2o,.
This change assures some of the
ablest speakers in the United
States.
Oregon is attracting the atten-
ton of Russian and Baltic Ger
man immigrants. One inquiry
received by the Oregon Develop
ment League from a thoroughly
reliable source says: "Particulars
desired of a track of about 1000
acres of good land suitable for
general farming and stockraising,
not more than 10 miles from
rail or steamboat transportation
that can be purchased for cash
for not to exceed $50, an acre,
for a Russian colony" The in.
quiry further says: Our people
are Caucassians from the Cauca.
sus, honest, sober industrious,
and physically the equal of any
race in Europe. They will bring
over their Arab horses and An.
CORA sheep and goats. They
will be credit to any commun.
ity in which they may settle and
if satisfied will be followed BY
immigrants from Baltic Germans
and from Russia.

ANOTHER MINE EXPLOSION
This Time II Is at YOlande, Ala,
and 90 Men Are Dead.
About 100 Miners Were In the Mine
At the Time and Few e.
capped Alive.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 17.-Advices
early Monday night from Yolande In
dictate that about so men met death
by an explosion In the mines at that
place Monday morning. The work Of
recovery is very slow and while hum
dreds Of miners from the adjacent
mining camps are present to assist, II
is thought that all Of the dead can
not be gotten out before Tuesday.
Only ~ bodies had been recovered up
to Ave o'clock.
The explosion occurred at about
10:30 Monday morning and SO far its
cause has not been determined. Less
than 100 men went into the mine and
this accounts for the fact that the
loss Of life was not heavier. The
mine has in the past been pronounced
free from gas by the state mine IN
spectors and it is supposed that the
explosion was caused by dust. VIII
mine is not properly sprinkled and
the air is allowed to get filled with
fine coal dust particles 1t becomes al.
most as explosive as gas Itself
At noon II was impossible to ven
ture into the mouth on account Of the
heat
The explosion was below the second
right sub-entry. The mines go dosa
something like 1900 feet. There was
a terrific explosion, the force Of which
was seen outside, dust and timber
being blown out In great quantities,
destroying small buildings nearby and
also landing on the depot some dis-
lance away. There was terrific heat
Immediately after the explosion.
Oficials of the company on the
scene Immediately took steps to start
a rescue party to get to the men on
the inside. The fans were started
up and other methods taken to elimi-
nate the bad air. Within an hour Il
men had crawled out Of the mine and
their description Of the inside was
heart-rending. Several Of these men
we're badly burned. Two hours after
the explosion It was still impossible
to venture even near the mouth OF
the mine, 30 hot was the air that was
rushing out
