Weary and sore, they got aboard

FRUIT PROSPECTS
BRIGHT IN POLK

Dallas. Or, May 6.-Consider-
able rain has fallen during the
past week. and unless the precipi-
tation continues too long the re-
suit will be of great benefit to the
fruit growers. 1t is admitted
however, with the snow in the
nearby hills, that the present is a
time of decided moment to fruit.
1t would be easily possible to have
frost heavy enough to do great
damage.
Prune blossoms have appeared
and the orchards are now at tneir
prettiest. By Sunday, Blossom
day, there will be no prettier sight
than can be seen in almost any
section of Polk county. The myr-
lads of blossoms, barring visit
from Jack Frost, epeIl prosperity
to this section. mere is not q
prune left In any of the three big
packing plant in Dallas.
Peaches are well set and there
is almost certain to be big crop
Cherries have been in full blossom
long enough to be we'll pollinized.
The entire situation is most en-
couraging. A big cannery in Sa-
lem is bidding s cents for straw
berries. This is the first open Of
fer made by any of the big can
neries for fruit. Cherry growers
are daily. expecting this market to
develop.

PRUNE ORCHARD
SOLD;;PR|CE GOOD

Dallas, Or, May GA small
prune orchard in the edge of the
city of Dallas, consisting of 8h
acres, which belonged to H. G.
Shultz, has been sold to A. A.
Lapp for 800 an acre. The or
chard is located on the Dallas
Salem highway, and is considered
one of the finest little orchards in
Polk county.
The tract is entirely without
buildings, the purchaser planning
to erect nice bungalow thereon
during the coming fall. The price
paid shows that there are men
who believe In the future of the
prune industry, and are willing to
pay the price demanded. In fact,
all sales made of prune orchards
indicates an upward tendency in
price, following the lowering of
prices following the collapse of
the market two years ago.

WRECKED YANKS
DRIFT z WEEKS
IN OPEN CRAFT
BY Harry /. Rodgers

washington May IA Iaie
Of shipwreck and adventure in
the South Seas such as Steven
son loved to tell is contained in a
report j9ss received here from
the American Consul at yelling
ton, New Zealand, on the Ameri-
can schooner Columbia River,
which went ashore Oh Sunday Is
land recently.
Aground on a barren, uninhab-
tied island, the crew drew lots,
and six sailors and the captain
took an open boat and set out
for the nearest port, Suya, in the
Fijis, 750 miles away.
1.-THE schooner was bound from
Auckland for Portland" the Off
cial report says. All went well,
survivors say, till just before
dawn on the third day out, when
the watch suddenly reported, is
land close to on port beam!"
THE startled captain leaped
from his berth and ran to the
wheel--but too late to save the
ship. In fact, SO near was the
beach that even before the an
chor could be let go the schooner
piled up, her bowsprit hard and
fast on the beach OF Sunday Is
land.
ITO Wander for Days"
Shaken but safe, the officers
and crew dropped over the bows
and down on the beach--to wan
der for days over the barren rock.
Empty of all life 1t was except for
q few sad, enervated goats, too
blue from their own unhappy lot
even to bleat raucous welcome
to the shipwrecked Americans.
"A ship calls once a year at
Sunday Island, the captain knew;
but he did not know the time Of
the year. Suya, in the Fills, $50
miles away, was the nearest civil
izationI On the wreck of the
schooner was food for a month
what to do!
Like nearly all American
crowds in times of stress, they
talked Ut over--everybody from
the captain to the cook. And six
sailors were selected to take an
open lifeboat and strike across the
stormy seas for Suva--750 miles
away.
Equipped with food, kerosene,
distress signals, sea anchors, an
oilstove and an extra mast and
sail, the little twenty-two-fo
craft set boldly out with its crew
OF six men and the captain, leav-
ing six men to wait on the bar
rem island and pray for redemp-
tion.
Two sails were set, and the lit
tie company, dividing into two
watches. worked at the oars when
the wind failed. Each watch
comprised three men, one man re-
lieving at the oars every half hour
The wind was not always kind
once for two long days they lay
becalmed. Again. having rowed
twenty-five miles In the teeth of
a gale, they tTere driven back
ten miles. Rain added to their dis
comfort. When the sun shone
the heat was pitiless; and they
were glad to convert the sails,
when not in use into covers to
protect them from the sun. At
night the cold was intense.

Day after day they struggled |
on toward Suva, sighting no sail
