To the Editor: The following edi torial paragraph was clipped from tho "Oregonl.nu" of the 23d Inst: "Oregon led tit the Spokuno apple Bhow and Itogtie Hlver led Oregon. Portland would llko n chance to eo and tiibte and Judge some of the world beating apples It hears about." This clip Is susceptible of one of two cotiMtrucllcns: Either the people of Portlttand cannot afford to pay tho price of Rogue Hlver valley ap ples or cIko the newspaper means to Insinuate thst tho award of prizes at Spokane was unfnlr and nothing short of a donation to its press nnd editorial rooms for immediate con-i-umptlon would satisfy the editor of tho Portland paper. Ignoring tho parsimonious spirit of this paper, how would It do for the growers of the valley who have hun dreds of bushels of under size sound apples going to waste to donate this fruit to the several commerclnl dlubs of tho valley, who could communi cate with tho provident association of Portland nnd other cities nnd. upon their agreement to pay freight, oi gantze nn army of pickers to gather up this fruit for the poor, who so much aeod It? Suppose tho mlnlg tors, tho bankers, the merchnnts, the real estnto men nnd others woull agree to glvo one day's work to this cniiBc, don overulls and bj nn exam ple. Aside from a practical charity deserving the effort, where could the Hoguo River valley get n bettor ad vertisement? Who will he the first to talk nnd talk quick? Respectfully, JAMES T. DAItnEE.
