Heavy Yield of Peaches.

The peach harvest in the Howe
orchard west Of Dallas Is nearly over,
and Mr.. Howe says that the yield has
been heavier this season than for
several years past. The total crop
was fully $40 bushels but much OF the
fruit was lost owing to the fact that it
ripeued and fell more rapidly than IL
could be gathered and brought to
market Mr.. Howe's orchard contains
only about four acres. and 800 bushels
is considered an exceptionally heavy
crop from an orchard Of that size

Kiln and Hop Crop Burns.

News was received Tuesday evening
that the hop kiln on the Charles Ster-
ling ranch, near Independence caught
fire that afternoon and burned to the
ground together with about 1900
pounds of cured hops. Charles Lives
ley, a hop dealer, OF Salem, had an
St cent contract for 5000 pounds OF
this years crop with Mr.. Sterling,
which represents a loss Of about sl.5O0
including the value Of the building,
but Mr.. Sterling says be has about
5000 pounds remaining In the field
and these he will have dried upon a
neighbor's kiln. The cause OF the fire
is unknown.-Salem Statesman.

STATE FAIR BEST EVER
Visitors Are Unanimous in Their
Praises of Oregon's Big Annual
Exposition.

"The biggest and best State Fair,
Oregon has ever held" is the verdict
of each Of the returning visitors from
Salem. where the Fair is being held
this week.
1t is more of real exposition Of the
resources of Oregon than has ever
before been prepared and the collec-
tion of livestock, dairy, horticultural,
agricultural, floral, mechanical and
industrial exhibits is more complete
and gives better and more compre-
hensive view Of what Oregon and Ore
CONS citizens can produce, than has
any collection of like nature that has
ever before been shown in the state.
The exhibits are handled to better
advantage this year and have an
appearance Of more completeness,
everything down to the finest details
of the decorations being worked out
with the minutest care.
The new electric turnstlles at the
entrance Of the grounds offer better
facilities for,the rapid and easy hand
ling Of the enormous tide Of visitors
that pours through the gates daily,
and indeed the great increase In the
attendance over that of previous years
makes these improvements practically
a necessity.
The additional attractions are large
this year, aud fully seventy-flve con-
cessions for restaurants, stands and
amusement features were issued.
The races in particular are proving
leading feature this year. Fast,
close and exciting, with entries from
the best racing stock on the Pacific
Coast, they are drawing large crowds
daily, and it is probable that several
of the racing records OF the state and
coast will be lowered before the close
OF the Fair.
One OF the crowning features OF the
entire Fair is the general State dis
play In the main aisle Of the pavilion.
1t is the most beautiful and complete
exposition Of Oregon's agricultural
and horticultural resources that has
ever been prepared for the State Fall
and is eliclting the highest praise
from visitors not only from all OF the
Coast states but from the Eastern and
Southern portions Of the United States.

Receives Many Premiums on Flowers.

Receives Many PREMIUMS on rlOWers.
In the floral display at the State
Fair, Mrs. H. N. Willis, Of Falls City,
carried off many honors, being the
only nonresident Of Salem, with the
exception of Mrs. G. L. Allen, Of
Lebanon, who carried off only one
prize) to take premiums in that de-
partment. Mrs. Willis received six
prizes as follows: First on display of
pansies second on gladiolus; second
on sweet peas; second on roses, and
second on display of asters. This is a
truly remarkable showing, consider
ing the fact that she was obliged to
transport her exhibits such distance,
while the majority of her competitors
lived in the city and consequently ran
less risk of injury to their flowers by
breaking, willing or other accidents
that would impair their merits for
exhibition purposes.

LOGGER CRUSHED TO DEATH
William Getty Caught in Line,
Whirled Under Rolling Log and
Killed Instantly.

William Getty, young man en-
ployed at the Powell logging camp
about four miles west of Falls City,
was caught under rolling log and
instantly crushed to death Tuesday
afternoon.
A log was being taken down the
rollway with the donkey engine, when
the trip line caught and Getty, who
was nearest it, was caught and wound
in onto the log. Held helplessly
against the rolling timber his body
was whirled down and the whole
weight of the heavy log passed over it,
crushing and mangling it terribly.
Death was practically instantaneous.
The accident, thought regrettable in
the extreme, cannot be attributed to
carelessness on the part Of any of the
men employed on the job, since its
occurrence was entirely unforeseen,
and the whole incident passed so
rapidly that it was impossible for any
thing to be done to prevent it. 1t can
only be written down as another item
In the pitifuI list of unavoidable
accidents"
Getty was young man about 1S
years Of age and had been employed in
the logging camp for about two years,
making his home with his parents,
his father being also an employee OF
the logging company. Their home
was formerly at Buena Vista. The
deceased has also brother living in
California. The body will be taken
to the old home in Buena Vista for
burial.

HOW COFFEE IS JUDGED.
WILLIAM H. UKERS IN GOOD
 HOUSEKEEPING.

The question might be asked as to what is the best coffee for the house. wife to buy. This brings up the ques- tion, "What constitutes coffee good ness?" In trade sense good coffee is judged CD by the appearance of the bean (washed coffees commanding a higher price than unwashed coffees) i;
 (2) by the size and uniformity of the bean (the larger and more uniform, the more costly) and (9by cup qual. ity(a coffee smooth, full bodied and rich in aroma being the most desira- ble.) Age is benefit to any coffee, and eliminates harshness. This ex- plains why Java coffee has so long reigned supreme. It is the custom in Java and Sumatra to hold the coffee several months before the sales take place. After being sold it is shipped in slow-going vessels to this coun- try, and the general sweating and mellowing process which it undergoes en route greatly enhances its value. Java coffee therefore con- tains the most-desired qualities in a marked degree, not to mention the ben efts which accrue from the soil and climatic conditions found in the Dutch East Indies. Of late years there has arisen in the coffee trade a newer style of coffee man, who emphasizes cup quality as first consideration.

THE HOME CIRCLE
VEGETABLES GROWN IN THE
 SOUTH. N .r
BY ]. s. MATHEW.

Worthy Lecturer of the Bethel Grange, Truck Farming in Florida:
 This is subject which should be of interest to all, especially to those en- gagged in this industry in the Northern states. The business is increasing here every year. Vegetables are shipped to the Northern markets long before they can be grown there. As the land in Sanford and vicinity is one of the best sections for this business, partic- ularly celery, which has created the greatest sensation on account of the enormous income obtained from this crop. Less than ten years ago not a bunch of celery was grown at Sanford. Now, they are shipping nineteen car loads per day, or 557 carloads per year, an average farm here is from three to five acres. After visiting several of them, 1 feel indebted to L. J. Starl- ing, who gave me the best average in come per acre, and it is no more than fair to say that no man is in better position to know whereof he speaks. He gets 800 crates per acre, which sells at S1.50 sper crate making S12OO.OO. cost of raising S420.0O, as fol- lows: Crates, l2a cts apiece. or S1OO.0O per acre, fertilizer, $150.0O per acre, and STOOD for labor. leaving a profit of S780. % per acre, use of land not included. The greatest obstacle in the culture of celery is the difficulty of raising the plants during the alternate hot sum- shine and beating rains. The plants are set out in September and harvested in April. Other crops of large profits to the growers are largely cultivated, including Irish and sweet potatoes, egg plant, beans, cucumbers, peppers, etc. Usually the cultivating of let tuce and tomatoes follow here as sec end crop to the celery. Often the let tuce is planted between the rows, ma tured and shipped, then the celery fol lowing on the same ground. Frequently

AN INDIAN STORY.
A BIG FAVOR FOR A SMALL ONE.

Years ago when the country was new there was man lived near ho. tel. One morning he went in the hotel to look in a paper. Shortly after an lndinn came in. He went up to the landlord and asked him to treat saying "I am hungry and dry" the landlord says, "I have to buy my stuff" This neighbor put down his paper and said Landlord, let that man have a good drink and a good warm break fast and l will pay you for it." So he gave him a drink and a good break fast. When the Indian came out from the dining room he came up to this neighbor. He said "God Bless you white man and putting his hand to his breast and pointing towards Heaven saying "God bless you white man." and went on his way to join his tribe. About two years later this man had business away. He started on foot. l think he was on his way back when he was taken by scout of Indians. He had gotten lost. They marched him.
 They lay around him until morning. They fed him a little. Two or three days after they reach their camp. The old chief was away with another scout.
 They fed him and kept him that night. The next day the old chief came in with another scout party. Seems they had prisoner. The chief said he would be burned to a stake the next morning. So they bound him and put a watch over him. One watched the first part of the night and then another came. He bent down and said: Twill you go with me? The person said, "yes." He had some venison and his rife. He unbound him. they bound their things on their backs. He said walk on your hands and feet long ways: he says on your feet and run. They ran till daylight. Then they got in rocks. They heard them screach- ing. They ate raw meat that day. When it became still they started out once more and travelled three or four days. One morning they came to a high hill. The Indian said "Do you know who lives over there" He said "No." There is where you gave me my breakfast. Now go home white man to your family and remember poor Indian" The white man said: Ego home with me and stay as long as you live" The Indian said "No, 1 go back and share my fate. I'D. D.
