German people are practically a unit
in believing that the attempt of the
Allies to force the German lines is
doomed to failure.

whom the extent OF the British losses
bcomes fully known in England,
coupled with the fact that the Ger
man line still remains itact, public
opinion will demand that peace BE-
made without further slaughter.
German experts are quite certain
that the British will never quit the
attacking without first feeling out
other sectors of the German front in
the hope of finding AN opening. But
they are confident that the British
will have no greater success against
the strongly fortified lines further
north than they have had between

FOR FRUIT
CROP BETTER NOW
THAT STORM IS OVER
Salem Prune Crop and Cherry
Crop Promises Good Yield
Says PauIus

AS cheering aftermath of the dis
patch from Idaho that the prune crop
In that state has suffered 1000 600
damages from the recent story Manager
Robert z. Paulus; of the Salem Fruit
Union, states that the prune crop in
this district has not been injured in the
least by the storm and that the prunes
look better than they did two weeks
ago and that all indications point to a
larger crop than at that time.
Mr. Paulus made trip over the
prune growing section of this county to-
day and brings back the report that
the prunes have. weathered the storm in
good shape and that if warm weather
follows the recent cold snap that the
Willamette valley will have a fair
yield, not an enormous yield but fair
yield.
The prune orchards are reported as
"spotted' and that some parts of the
orchards have prunes thickly set ON
while other parts of the same orchard
have scarcely any green fruit set on.
The damage to the Idaho fruit crop
will not be directly felt in this section
in dried fruit prices as idaho is a green
fruit shipping district. If however, the
Idaho growers cannot supply the de-
mand for green prunes from Mississippi
river points and farther east, they win
buy green fruit from Oregon and the
Willamette valley. The Salem Fruit
Union expects to ship out some green
fruit to help make up the shortage Of
Idaho fruit.
Mr.. Paulus, returned yesterday from
a trip to The Dalles and Hood River
where he looked over the cherry crop
in that district He says the orchards
are "spotted" in this district also and
that some orchards will return the heav-
lest yield in the history of the section,
while the orchard just across the fence
will produce but very little fruit. The
cherry crop about The Dalles is well
sold and the Hood River cherry crop is
sold out The Yakima section is report
ed to be short on cherries this year.
Mr.. Paulus reports that the Salem
cherry crop win be about the same as
in 1913 and will probably be better
than in 1914 and 1915.

THE PIONEERS OF cHAMPoEe.
(Medford Mail Tribune)

Pioneers Of Oregon SATURDAY. cele-
brated at Champoeg the anniversary
of the birth of the first commonwealth
on the Pacific coast, known as the
Oregon Territory" At Champoeg,
on the banks of the Willamette, fifty
two men organized May 8, l843, the
first provisional government for the
territory now comprising the states of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
At that time there were fewer than
one hundred native Americans in the
whole country west of the Rockies
Possession was still in dispute between
Great Britain and the United States,
and remained so until 1916. These
early settlers manifested the racial in
stinct for government of and by the
people, which is still a feature of Ore
gon. To the efforts of these pioneers
the northwest was preserved to the
Union.
All of Oregon owes a great debt to
the pioneers-not only to those Of the
Champoeg gathering, but also to those
who came later. The pioneers who
settled southern Oregon were a hardy
enterprising, foreeful body of men and
women, and to their efforts is due
the subsequent development that their
sacrifices and struggles made possible.
Few of the succeeding waves Of i'm
migration nave added as fine a eiti-
zensnip as shown by the first arrivals,
and few hava done more for the up.
building Of the state and nation. All
honor to the pioneers, whose numbers
grow pathetieally fewer with each en-
suing var.
