The Willamette valley is the chief
grower of sweet cherries. Kentish,
Early Richmond and other sour
cherries of the east are raised to
some extent for family use. but are
not profitable. They are known as
pie cherries and are sometimes used
to feed birds to keep them away
from the sweet cherries. The sweet
cherries are Royal Anne. Bing. Lam
bert, Black Republican, Hoskins, etc.
All dark skinned but the first. The
Royal Anne is the favorite canning
cherry. 1t brought Ave cents per
pound last year. The Pacific Coast
Nurserymen's association, which
met at Salem last year at the time
of the cherry fair, named Salem the
Cherry City"
The cannery at Salem, in 1905,
bought 100000 pounds of Royal
Anne and nearly as many others.
One company shipped 1875, 200
pounds Royal Anne and $4,000
pounds others. Mr.. Presnall sold
1900 pounds Royal Anne off 525
trees on Ave acres for $4,000. He
bought the orchard in the spring for
$500 and is reported to have sold
two acres OF It for $4,000. Mr.. Fer
guson sold s1400 worth OF 14s Is
year old trees. Several single trees
are reported to have produced $50
worth of cherries last season.

shipments during the four weeks

one hour for loading cherries was the
delay for every train north through
Salem. The travelling public and
railway employees used strong and
picturesque English, time tables

Mr.. stump has just planted 175

single trees and small groups are
now growing throughout the Will

Irrigation is practiced by the or
chardists of Hood River and south
ern Oregon. No irrigation In the
Willamette valley is practicod, but
many orchards are In urgent ne d OF

There are many. nurseries in this
valley. The Oregon Nursery COM

over 100000 per year and nse 400

Hillsboro and have many trees grown

Many OF the neglected orchards

this the vines are trailed. They
often grow 20 feet long and the
berries are often so thick that at no
place between the ground and five
feet above can a finger be pushed TO
the wire fence without touching a

In reply to query as to crops,
Mr.. la Toilette, distant relative of
the Wisconsin senator, said that his
best patch would yield a solid mass
lof berries one foot wide and Ave feet
high and the length of the rows for
every row. Frequently a yield of
one 24-quart crate is obtained from
one hill. The picking season lasts
four to six weeks.
Generally speaking, Oregon does
not produce peaches. There are.
however favored localities in south.
ern Oregon and along the Columbia
and the bottoms of the Willamette
where they are successfully pro-
duced. Mission Bottom, near Sa-
lem, furnished peaches for the
Lewis and Cark fair that weighed
23 ounces apiece and one that
weighed 26 ounces. The best young
peach orchard in the world is just
coming into bearing on Mission Bot
tom. Mr.. Egan picked his early
peaches by July 1. and the last OF
his late peaches November 9Th.

AMERICAN CAR HAD
PRETTY TOUGH TIME


The last stage of the American car,
from Evanston to Ogden, 1856 miles,
consumed twenty-five and a half hours
and was made under the greatest diff
culties. The snow was from two ~
twenty feet deep and there was no re
course but to shovel it. The cal
reached Echo late Saturday and wa
met there by l.. II. Becraft of Ogden
and piloted to Morgan, says the Salt
Lake Tribune. The Tribune official pi.
lot a completed the trip into ogden
and Mr.. Mathewson expressed lbs
great appreciation today of the service
rendered to the flyer. There is abso.
lutely nothing in the story that the
italian car is gaining on the American
car. The latter will have at least TWEEN
ty-four hours dead time at Ogden. The
Italian car was tied up at Dana, Wyo.
$50 miles east of Ogden, by mud on
Saturday, on a stretch of road that the
Thomas car had passed through and
over without any serious trouble. The
Thomas men are calculating on loading
their car on a steamer that leaves San
Francisco a week from Wednesday
next.

MUCH CONCERN FELT
Ordinary Methods for Treating Ca
tarrh Prove Unsuccessful.

Written statistics that show al in.
crease in catarrh have shaken conf
dence in the usual prescriptions -
safeguard human health from the raw
ages of this disease.
When stomach dosing was proven
ineffective, it was natural to look for
some other treatment, and it is believ-
ed that in Hyomei an absolute cure
for all catarrhal troubles has at last
been found. Inhaled with the air you
breathe, its healing medication reaches
every part of the lose and throat, and
soothes the irritated mucous mem
brane so that relief is almost instant
while lasting cure is practically sure
to follow.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but s1.00, and is sold by A. H. Cordiner
under an absolute agreement to refund
the money if it does not give satisfac'
ton.

EIGHT-FOOT VEIN NOW
ALMOST IN SIGHT

Otto Sander, who has been employ.
ed at the Citizens coal mine east OF
Centennial, came in Saturday to re
main a few days in the village, says
the Centennial Post. When he caru-
in the new shaft was down 80 feet
and it was thought that they would
reach the eight foot vein during th2
present week. When that is accom-
plished coal will soon be placed upon
the market here and in Laramie. All
the veins encountered by the incline
which recently caved in, are revealed
by the new one, but as the rock in
which they were then working was
much harder it is presumed that the
coal underlying it will be even bet
ter than formerly anticipated.
