Boone, April 30.-A. E. Frampton,
the horticultural and agricultural ex-
pert Of this city, this morning gave out
an interview, which will at leas.
brighten things up bit in this gloomy
weather. MIR. Frampton is an optimist
and predicts the best crop of the var
ious kinds Of fruits, that this state has
had for years and years. The continued
chilly weather has been just the thing
as it has kept back the sap and the
budding process has been rather slow.
Mr. Frampton Is recognized as one
of the experts of the west, when it
comes to fruit, etc, and his statements
will carry weight. The recent freezes.
Mr. Frampton says have not damaged
the fruit trees in the least, and that
everything is in good shape. You can
tell the housewives for me-" said the
horticulturist this morning, ito get
their fruit jars all emptied and ready
for big canning season. The plum
crop will be the biggest in years, in
fact think 1t will be the largest that
we have ever had, from the present
prospects. The apple crop will be an
immense one, or at least all of the
present indications point to a record
breaker. Nothing much can be said
about the grape prospects at this writ
ing. They have not started budding,
and will not come out for about three
weeks.
Il don't look for much blossoming
out before May 10, or the middle of the
month. OF course there will be some
scattering plum blossoms, but the white
orchards will not be in evidence until
the middle of May.
Regarding the acreage of oats, will
say that the acreage this year. especi-
ally in this county, will be smaller than
last year. and possibly for several
years. This is on account of the ex-
IRENE wetness of the lowlands, pre-
venting the farmers from working the
land. Some of them have been kept out
of the oat fields until this week. These
lands will be turned into corn later on
and the corn yield will consequently be
much larger"

looking for agricultural locations.
With the new hotel which is now as
sured the future for Astoria during
the immediate spring and summer is
very bright considered wholly from
the standpoine Of things that really
exist. The two land lists Of the
Chamber Of Commerce contain alto
gether nearly 200 pieces Of property
and about three-6fths Of all these
have changed hands during the last
l8 months. Most of this is country
property. A great deal Of quiet work
along different development lines has
gone steadily forward without ceas-
ing throughout the past winter and
when one looks back and checks up
the number Of realty sales made one
is astonished at the progress in evil
dence. There are now families locat-
ed about Astoria from Chicago, Okla
homa, Louisiana, Canada, and other
states all brought through the recent
advertising campaign.
The future of Astoria is bright be-
cause Astoria is bright place and
all healthy people whose livers are in
good working order should cease
croaking and knocking, and do some
real work along boosting lines. There
are plenty Of optimists in Astoria and
what is needed is for them to get
busy and shout a while. If they will
only shout enough the few pessimists
cannot be heard. Something bearing
on this subject and of unique inter-
est has been published by Manager

on the back Of his business card and

Between Seventh and Fourteenth
streets above Harrison avenue there
are at this time to be seen more resi-
dences in process Of construction than
ever before at any one time in the
history of the city.
At the corner of Eighth street and
Irving avenue there are four new
houses all of which have been built
during the past few months, and in
the neighborhood outlined more than
80 new residences have been counted,
Strange to say not one Of these is
vacant and every one of them was
built for some particular person.
The house being put up by Sam
Harris will cost at least $4,000 when
completed, it is said. 1t is on the
edge of the hill above Ninth street
and many people from all over the
Ecity are constantly visiting it, It
fronts on an entire block, and is a
half block deep and would be credit
to any city in the United States re-
gardless Of size. Many think it IS the
most beautiful from the architectural
standpoint ever erected in Astoria.
From Mr. Harris terraced lawn
one can count more than 20 new
residences within gun shot.
This building is possible because Of
the street improvement that has gore
on in that neighborhood and would
not be possible had not those streets
been graded. The work Of grading Is
not quite completed but it is going
