Prof Kent through a long day's
work has reason to rejoice in his

The general opinion is that the
Mongolian pheasant is wild and
untameable, but according to the
Eugene Register it appears that
there aie exceptions now and then.
It says: Yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Hu Ttnlann heard a noise on her
porch and opening the door found a
China pheasant making an effort to
get into the house. She bid it wel
come and the bird is quite at home
in its new environment. It is a
wild bird and is evidently seeking
safety.
Hon. H. B. Miller has written to
Colonel Dosch from Shanghai, and
has the following to say of the
peacheH grown in that part of the
world: Peaches are quite plenti
ful, and fairly good if picked when
ripe. The Chinese don't realize
the difference between ripe and
green fruit, and seem to eat the
v.. J .in nltli tUn ca.nA
relish they do ripe, hence most of
the fruit is unfit to eat, being many
tins 8 only half grown. Good
peaehes oould be produced here,
but the peach worm is very bad,
and in three-fourths of the peaches.
It is a worm that operates exactly
like the codlin moth, and looks
like it, but is some smaller. It
eats into the peach anywhere and
spoils the fruit, doing more dam
age to the fruit than the codlin
moth does to the apple. So far as
I can learn, toothing is done to de
stroy or check them.

Dr. Withycombe Rives as the
cause of the partial failure cf orop
the large amount of rain which tell
during the spring, and the manner
in which it fell. He says that the
land was packed so hard that it-
was imnosaible to receive nroner
nourishment, and cites the fact that
the more finely pulverized the soil'
of the summer fallow last tall, the
harder the ground was packed and
the poorer the crop. There is no
doubt but that it was due to some
climatic Influeno?.
Robert Lanka is once more en
rolled on the books at the O A O.
As a pencil -artist he has an en
viable reputation and some of his
work in designing is worthy of
more than ordinary mention. Dur
ing the Philippine campaign he was
a member of the corps of engineers
of the Second Oregon Volunteers,
but got no further than the Sand
wich Islands, as it was decided that
their services were not needed and
they were held there in reserve.

B. C, where it is understood he will
engage in business for himself.
Professor Hayward is considered
one of the most efficient instructors
in the college, and his loss will be
greatly felt by both faculty and
students.
Buggy Upset
Last Tuesday, Clyde Trapp,
employed as driver for the Mc
Mahan Stables of this city, came
near having quite a serious run
away with his team at Albany.
He left here with a buggy team
to drive a gentleman who had
beeu hunting birds in this sec
tion to Albany, where he was,
to catch the afternoon tram
They reached the depot in sea
son for the train. The gentle
man in boarding the train for
got his "grip" and called to Mr.
Trapp to hand it to him. In
doing so the driver was of cenrse
obliged to leave his team stand
ing. Something occurred to
frighten them and they started
to run away. Mr. Trapp was
quite equal to the occasion, and
by jumping pretty lively, suc
oeeded in getting one of the
horses by the bit. This- partially
stopped the team and started it
turning in a circle. The Albany
street car was standing near by,
and on the first round the outfit
missed it a few feet, and circled
on. The second time around
the circle was getting smaller
and the street car had a closer
shave, being missed by about
three feet. On the third and last
kound the circle got so small that
the momentum caused the rig to
topple over. To this fact, per
haps, is due the safety of the car.
Mr. Trapp stuck like a leech to
his team, and although they got
loose from the buggy after it up
set, finally succeeded in stop
ping them. Everything con
sidered, the - termination of he
adventure was much different
than it was expected to be at
one stage of the game. Little
or no damage was done.
French Fruit.
Prof. E. R. Lake, of the O A
C, writing to the Rural North
west recently, from France, con
tributes much information of
interest on various Eubjeots.
Among other items, he mentions
the fruit conditions of France, in
which connection he says:
This year the fruit crop of
France is something marvelous.
Almost over the whole country
trees are breaking beneath their
loads of fruit Strange as it may
seem, tons of it is rotting on the
ground and hundreds of tons of
it is of inferior quality. When
ever any reasonable price is paid
for fruit it is all gathered and
put to some use, but this year
all varieties have borne so much
that the people are not prepared
to care for it all.
Of the new plantings four
fifths must toe vines for wire and
table use and of these nine-tenths
are for wine. Few orchard trees
arc being planted, that is, rela
tively few. On the whole the
plantings of orchards and garden
fruits will each year amount te
many thousonda of trees, but
these are in a luge part to re
place dead or dying trees. The
acreage of trees cannot be said to
be increasing, but the vineyards
are steadilv growing larger.
When asked', "What will you do
with all this wine," the French
man shrugs his shoulders (did
yon ever see a Frenchman shrug
his shoulders?) it is one of the
most expressive movements and
means volumes, and says, "Just
drink a little more. ' '
Large Sale of Prunes.
For some time prune-buyers
have been quite numerous in
this section and they have
shown much activity. The
prunes dried this season in this
vicinity have been unusually
fine, taken as a whole, and will
oemmand a good price in any
market.
Henry Stone sold two cur
loads of prunes a few days ego
to H. Cobb, who is buying for
E. C. Ward, of Newberg. D.
C. Rose dried a good many hun
dred bushels of prunes, both
Italians and Petites, this year,
aud he disposed of his crop along
with that of Mr. Stone.
Robert Johnson," manager of
the Benton County Prune Com
pany, closed a deal with Mr.
Cobb, Wednesday, whereby the
latter receives the entire product
of the big prune orcharJ. Man
ager Johnson estimates the
amount of dried frnit that he
will supply Mr. Cobb at some
where between 80,000 and 90,
000 pounds. For the prunes de
livered at the car Mr. Cobb pays
5 cents per pound, and he
takes the frnit ungraded. In
this he takes no risk, as the fruit
is a!l first-class.

sion since Wednesday morning.
At the time of going to press no
matters of great importanee had
been passed upon. The court had
not yet considered the matter of

Prior to the death of Commissioner
Buchanan, that gentleman had
charge of the improvement of the

of Commissioner Irwin supervision
of the matter was placed in his
hands. He is a competent and re

but that the court will act upon his
recommendation.
