at a rapid rate in every we'll regu-

tom lands, but on the prairie, and the
hill lands can fine peaches be grown
in the Willamette valley. There Is
no off-year in peaches here, TO our

life here we have never known a sea-
son when the peach crop did not sup
ply abundance OF this fruit for all
who wanted them. The prices are
from 800 a bushel upwards.
There are thousands OF acres Of
land still uncultivated that will grow
fine peaches, and hundreds of grow
ers are shipping them to the larger
markets. Mr.. George Weeks, who
has a rich farm on bottom land, is
marketing a very fine crop OF peach
es. He has sold them nearly all right
here in the city, and can prove to
any man who wants to investigate
that the peach crop is about as staple
here as corn in Iowa. Thousands OF
bushels are being sold out to the
homes of people in this city. He
sells them at 800, $3.50 and $500,
according to quality. He has 1000

15-year-old trees. The former have

EXPECTS SMALLER BUT
BETTER NEWSPAPERS

New Haven, Conn. Feb. 27.-schools
OF journalism, qualifications for news
paper work and newspaper independ-
ence were discussed by Hart Lyman in
the second and tinal of the Bromley
lectures at Yale.
Mr.. Lyman said there never was a
better time perhaps than now to begin
work on a newspaper. We have been
living for a good many years in the age
of quantity. but soon a higher value
may be put on quality. He was hope
ful that the next notable change in the
newspaper world would be a return to
smaller papers. Every element enter
ing into their composition might cost
more han now. excepting the print pa
per, which would cost less because less
of it would be used.
There would come also, Mr.. Lyman
thought. a clearer perception Of what
is intrinsically worth printing. If the
country is no getting tired O the jour-
nalistic scoop net. it ought to be.
