Flavin, of Spokane, was In Roseburg this morning looking into the matter of the establishment of a free mail de livery system in this city, which has been under discussion here for sev eral months past. He found the conditions -here fully justify such a system, so far as the business trans acted by (he Roseburg poBtofiice Is concerned, and as heretofore stated at various times in The Review. The annual business has exceeded1 the minimum figure of $10,000 required for a free delivery office, and is now considerably above that sum. Uefore departing Mr. Flavin an nounced that as soon as the neces sary numbering of the houses and placing the names of the streets at the corner of each block is complied with he will recommend that the free delivery service be established, it is probable that he will file a fa vorable report on the matter at an early date and he may recommend therein that the service be establish ed as soon as the local requirements are complied with. In a number of Instances better sidewalks and crosswalks must b laid in ordr to ussure regular delivery service in some localities. It is now up to the city council to "get busy" and hnve the street names properly bulletined at each street crossing, and order the houses consecutively numbered in compli ance with some system adopted for that purpose. Let us have free mall delivery in Roseburg without further delay. Violations of Local Option Law are Alleged SMITH LOSES DAMAGE SUIT Instructed Verdict For S. P.

If the pples harvested In the commercial rchilrds ot the United States this year wore converted into pies, the army of bnkers needed to do tills work would turn out 6,250,000,000 of thein, and these placed side by side would make a path, of almost 976,000 miles. The total weight of this mountain of pastry is estimnted at 9.250.000,000 pounds, Including 125,000,000 pounds of flour, Inrd nd other ingredients in the popular Aniericun nfter-dlnner dessert, re- tilrlng 154,100 cars of standard ca pacity to trniisport them from the ovens to the consumers. Twenty-five million barrels, or 2.500,000 bushels, is the estimated yield this season, nccordlng to re ports received by Harry J. Neely, secretary of (he National Apple Show at Spokane, from ln.ooo growers operating in the various belts of the union. The returns show that while droughts, excessive rains or pests wrought havoc in many districts In the middle-western, eastern and sev eral southern states, the entire crop is fully ns large as In 1907, and It is better distributed. Prices ulso are higher than last year. Howevor, the domestic supply is Bmnller than ut any time since 1895, for the reason Hint the demands of the export trade are heavier and increasing yearly. Reports from a majority of the growers indicate that the condition of 8iunmor nnd fall apples is tno best. but that in numerous districts the winter varieties are not up lo the standnrd. This, It is slnted ,1s true In Maryland, Missouri, Illinois, In dlnna and Arkansas, while Massa chusetts will harvest less than a 50 per cent crop. Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhodo island nnd Ver mont report ns much fruit as in 1907, but the crop In Maine will ho smaller than it wiib last year. However, tho quality is fair in most of the districts. While the yield In Nlngnra licit Is reported to be holding up well, the state of New York as a wliolo will not produce more tlinn 50 per cent of its normal crop, tho cause assigned for this being heavy rains and lack of spraying at the proper time. The crop In New Jersey Is fair. Heporta from Ohio give estimates ranging from 20 per cent of n full crop to 75 per cent. It being added that In most parts of the state tho yield is lietlur thun in 1907, though the cro of winter apples Is light. Tho crop In Mlchlgnii Is estimnted at from less than 20 per cent to 75 per cent, according to locality. Pennsylvania's yield Is short in aome districts, following a largo crop In most varieties In 1907. The growers expect to harvest a 25 per cent crop of good quality fruit throughout the state. Virginia and West Virginia each report about a half crop. The quality Is good and prices will be a shade higher than Inst season. Kansas has a little better than a third crop, which Is reported to be better than In 1907, while Kentucky reports a light yield, which, It is ad ded, however. 1b better in moat dis tricts than Inst season. Tho yield In Iowa and Nebraska also Is smaller than In 1907. Iowa reports a 25 per cent crop of varying quality, while Nebraskn growers say that the vield will be about 50 per cent in (ho favored districts, but that the quality Is below the standard. Orrhardlsts In tlie i;aroiinns are harvesting fairly good crops, audi, Tennessee will have a yield of from 30 to 35 per cent of fall nnd winter apples of good grade. It is reported that the yield Is better than In 1907 In most of tho districts. (Trops nre also light In Georgia. Florida, Mis sissippi, Alabama and Texas nnd Ok lahoma each have a little better than a 25 per cent crop of medium quality fruit. Reports from Minnesota, Wis consin, the Ilakotus and Wyoming are not complete, but Indications nre the yield will be fully ns large as In 1907. Tho grade is fair to good. with choice fruit In sonic of the fn vored districts. 1 The northwestern nnd Pacific states report crops nt fair quality and quantity. California leads the list w Ih n normal yiein, wnue t ominn... Oregon and Idaho have yields rang ing from 05 to 85 per cent in uie order named. ITtah also has a good yield with larger acrenge than In pre vious years. Growers In Washing ton report (hat In most districts, no tably the Yakima, Wenatihec, Pros ser, Skane and Okanogan valleys.
