I y Failure of Crop in California Put Boxed Fruit of Oregon and Wash ington in Class by Itself In New York Mart. BT ARTHUR M. GEATIT. KEAV YORK. Feb. 7. (Special.) This season has been a lasting triumph for the apples anl pears of the Northwest lasting both in tr.e sense that they are outlasting their defeated rivals and that the memory of them will last to tickle the palates of the Eastern consumers of years in future. The height of the season for Northwestern fruit was a number of moons ago, but their bright labels are still in evidence, not only in the fancy fruit stands along Broadway but in long rows, each morning, beneath the auction room of the Erie Pier No. 20. The failure of the apple crop at Watsonville, Cal., and the shortage of the production in Colorado, with a growing lucrative market In Texas and ntates close by, has left the boxed ap ples of th Northwest In practically undisputed possession of the New York market This has been a grand year for the srrower, not a bad one for the con sumer, but a comparatively poor one for the buyer. Kirhonffc'n Aim Soecemfal. The aim of the Northwest Fruit Ex change to eliminate some of the mid dlemen and save the profit to the grower and consumer partially has been successful. The low prices received for North western apples in 1912 coupled with the advertising and marketing schemes of the co-operative organiza tions gave people of all classes a taste which they have not forgotten. How ever, the demand has not been so keen as to raise the prices out of the reach of the average citizen. Yellow New towns and Spltzenbergs are now sell ing at auction for from $2 to J2.50 a box, which is not greatly in advance of the price paid by the buyers. The effort to establish direct con nections with the markets tributary to New York, such as Philadelphia, New ark and Boston, has been criticised by some of the New York dealers as a losing venture for the grower. ".While there are three or four hundred bidders at the daily auction sales in New York." says one, "there are only comparatively few in the smaller towns. The custom haa been for the dealers to come into New York to buy. . In this way keen competition, so necessary in auction sales, was at tained. Prices are likely to be lower where the number of bidders is mailer." A. It. Rule DlfTera From View. A. R. Rule, the New York represen tative of the Northwest Fruit Ex change, differs from this view. He says: "The prime object of organized sell ing la more money for grower and lower prices for the consumer. Take Meridian, Miss., for example. They have been buying their fruit through 6t. Louis. This means that a profit for the St. Louis merchant and the extra local freight must be deducted from the grower's profit or added to the consumer's cost. The Northwest Fruit Exchange by operating direct will make car lot sales. The result will be greater consumption. "The Northwest Fruit Exchange has two tasks the development of the latent consuming demand throughout the United States and an increase of the foreign demand. By proper ad vertising, the consumption In this country easily can be tripled. This last season we began the promotion of the Skookum Brand of Northwest ern apples. On the way over to the office the other morning, I saw this label in a number of dealers' win dows. Another year the supply of ap ples under this brand will be increased and extended to fields outside of New York. "The greatest need of the North west as the orchards come into bear ing will be evaporators and canneries None but high-class fruit can be shipped from the Northwest, profit ably. This means that great care must be taken in the thinning, picking and packing of the fruit. The culls should be dried" or canned. As . the volumo of- produce . of this kind in creases, capital will find this a profit able form of investment; but thus far the supply has not been regular."

OLD ROSE IS COLOR NOTE Ivory Trimming With Border Touches of Roman Bine and Gold Used in Auditorium New Tapestries and . Curtain Also. Those of Portland's theatf patrons who are to avail themselves of the opening performance of E. .II. Sothern tomorrow night 'have a pleasant sur-' prise in store. By the skill and art of interior decorating, the Heilig Theater, at Eleventh and Morrison streets, has been made to appear as if new. A week ago, without any public an nouncement, a force of expert interior decorators quietly inaugurated the pro gramme of renovation. The scaffolding was erected in such a way that the stage performances were held without interference. The retinting will be fin ished tomorrow night. The Bell Decorating Company, which is directing the work, did the interior decorating at the Empress Theater and the present Orpheum Theater. The general color scheme carried out is old rose with trimmings of old Ivory and with a few border touches of old Roman blue and gold. The foyer is treated somewhat differently, being of French gray and gold with slight evi dences of old blue. The blend of colors is striking. The new tapestries instead of being a true ol-d rose in color will be a compro mise between terra cotta and mahog any. The stage curtain is to be finished in royal lavender, while the proscenium arch is gilded brilliantly. In the ceil ing above the orchestra pit is a large painting and an appropriate design of original execution borders the upper walls. 20' STUDENTS FLUNKED UNIVERSITY OF OREGON "SENDS DOWS" EXAM FAILURES. Greater Mortality Than at Any Other Semester Laid to Attempt to Raise Scholastic Standard. UNIVERSITY Ob OREGON, Eugene, Feb. 7. (Special.) Twenty students were flunked at the University of Ore. eon today for failing to pans the mini mum number of hours required by the faculty in the mid-year examinations. This is the largest proportion of "flunks" for any single semester on record! here. The examinations closed yesterday and the general result was anpnounced by Registrar Tiffany today. The figure given is an approximation. for all grades are not yet recorded and there may be one or two additions to the list. It is also possible that some of the condemned may be reinstated on petition to the faculty, on the ground or extenuating circumstances. So far as is known, no student ob tained an all-"H" or honor card. The apparent Increase in ignorance Is laid to the effort of the faculty to raise the standard of scholarship. The ex aminations were universally declared to have been harder this year than ever before. A student may take a maximum of 16 hours and the failure to pass nine of these severs automatically his con nection with the university. A special dispensation is allowed freshmen, who must pass only eight hours. Contrary to custom, the greatest delinquency this year is not found in the freshman class. The 20 "flunks" are almost evenly distributed among the four classes. As usual, the mortal ity was greater in the masculine ranks than among the co-eds. The exodus of the 20 will more than be offset by the reinstation of 60 new students for the second semester. V 00SH0W ESTATE $20,000 Will of Prominent Linn County Pioneer Filed for Probate. ALBANY.

CURTAINS 1:30 AND 7:30 Change In ; Routing Schedule Brings Performers to Portland Sundays Instead ,of Mondays and Nov elty Today Breaches Lap. For today alone two full Orpheum performances, each containing all of the seven regular acts, may be seen for tne price of. one admission. It is decliared by Manager Coffin berry that this Is the first time such a vaudeville combination has ever been offered" and that it will be posi tively the "largest regular vaudeville show ever presented, the peculiar cir cumstances having arisen out of the rerouting oT the Orpheum shows. Spo kane has Deen eliminated from the circuit anci the performers are now relayed direct from Vancouver, B. C, to Seattle and then to Portland, thus arriving a day earlier than formerly. Hereafter ifhe weekly bill will close on Saturday Instead of Sunday night, making.wlijr for the opening bill the next day. Previous to the present schedule f he- new performers opened on Monday. In recognition of the coincidence ex isting today Manager Coffinberry de cided to accept the opportunity of making the.utrical history by giving 14 acts in the form of a double-header. Therefore h will hold the closing bill over an additional day and present it in conjunction with the opening bill. Such an arrangement will probably never be possible again, for the rea son that the show 'closing Saturday will hereaf ter have to move immedi ately to San Francisco to make exact connections ' with its schedule there. Because ht the double length of the performance the curtain will today rise an hour, eavlier than ordinarily, that is, at 1:30 and 7:30, and the shows will run about an hour later. Hearing of the Sunday bargain ar rangement many persons holding tick ets for laist night's performance ap peared at the box window asking for a refund of their money so that they might buy tickets for Sunday, but they were unsuccessful in their petitions. Excuses stich as temporary illness, emergency calls out of the city, etc., were given as pretense for ice re quested chunge. MANY ATTEND INSTITUTE IDEAL WKATHKH BRINGS FARM ERS TO LEBANON GATHERING.

Judge McGinn Criticises Witness and Intimates lie Haa Little Faith In Claims of Defendant. After the introduction of evidence in rebuttal and sur-rebuttal in the suit against the Proebstel Land & Adjust ment Company, both sides rested last night, except for the reading of some tax receipts in the record, and Judge McGinn announced that he will decide the case Monday morning. He has in timated he has little faith in the claims of the defendant company to the 122 acres of home sites in Albina. Julius Proebstel who had been on the witness stand since Thursday after noon, was questioned sharply by Judge McGinn yesterday. The judge defended Jane Chapman Proebstel, original owner of the disputed property, when Julius Proebstel testified that he believed Ar thur Chapman, the alleged illegitimate son of Mrs. Proebstel, was the sole heir of his mother's property. "I beleive that Arthur Chapman was a cheap fraud and that you are slander ing a good and virtuous woman when you file that deed setting up that pre posterous claim," he said. Mr. Proebstel was criticised by Judge McGinn for shifting his ground in try ing to maintain bis alleged interest in the property. "You have been thinking about this matter for 40 years, and have become so obsessed with it that you seem at times to believe all of your own stories," said the judge. "I might have been taken in myself had you not manufac tured evidence on your last trip to Ire land." Benton" Killin's affidavit, on which Judge McGinn has said he will "tie his anchor," was attacked again by the de fense when a handwriting expert was called to testify that the instrument has been altered since its original exe cution by Killtn.
