MONEY in ENGLISH WALNUTd

"Thomas Prince has about 100 acrds
of walnut trees, in various stages df
growth on the Dundee hills" he sayb,
"and from the trees which have beeh
planted IL years he gets about $P
worth of nuts. There are 25 trees tb

will command a good price in the
years to come, according to present
indications, and there is no fear OF
overstocking the market. twill take
many years for Oregon to raise as
many as the country now imports,

have the patience to wait until the
trees bear.
"At the same time care should be
taken In selecting the location fol
planting the trees. Not all locations
are favorable, and it is easy to make
mistake 10 planting in soil not con-
ducive to a good yield. The Dundee
hills are becoming favorably known
in the production, but even in these
ranges care has TO be exercised in
getting the proper slope and the ele-
walton most secure from frost.
'rSome Of the farmers there have
dug up their prune trees and planted
nut trees in place Of them. The hills
are considered favorable to the culture
OF prunes as we'll, but the market for
the prune is more likely to vary In
different years. Primes are paying

be a good crop in spite Of the fact that
the prune yield Of the entire coast has
been cut down &c per cent as a result
Of the untimely frosts. Telegram.

Park Commissioner Hinchman does
not take favorably to the plan of Aid;
Gilman to have more small parks
scattered through the city. These
small parks are said to cost a grea:
deal to keep up, and some Of them are
very little used by the people living
near them.
I'VE shall need parks in the future,
but We do not just now" says Mr..
Hincbman. THAT is, we don't want
to have more to spend money on now.
Our boulevard system should be en-
larged, and 1t Is my belief that all
new parks should be arranged so as
10 connect with the boulevards. This
would s!ye.us complete and beautiful
system. Small detached parks ara
hardly the thing. as the city 10 now,
