No wods are permitted to grow among the orange trees nor is the ornnge grove ever used to pasture hogs and cattle. Yet with all the tender and Intelligent solleltmle for the orange there Is no variety In Its color. The flavor Is always the same. It Is good to eat raw, but Is spoiled by cooking. It Is a poor keeper. From the time It Is picked It bejttns to detorlornte. Whether the market Is favorable or . , , . will be possible, and In a few years' not Is must be shipped at once after gon, Washington and Idaho. It murt be borne In mind, too, that In this winter apple zone It Is' only In fhvored spots where the winter apple can be grown to advantage. These places are gradually being discovered and will be planted!n orchards that will be cul tivated and cared for as the orange orchards have been. The European territory lying in' this zone produces very few apples, and In Asia, as a merchantable 'commodity, that fruit Is scarcely known, as I am reliably in formed. On this continent, east of the Ttocky mountains, very few places there are where the applo orchard cuts any commercial figure. In lower Canada, northern New York and west ern Ohio and a fraction of Michigan lying along the east side of Lake Michigan, is very narrow limits In Kansas and Colorado, not the best. but fair apples are raised. Cyrus ll':py. . Mulntnln RoguoV Gallery. Sheriff James Ilavllond announced today that he would sooq establish a rogues' gallery at the county Jail. Sheriff Havllund's rogues' gallery Is to hm romtvtete In every detail, as a camera and machines with all n"oes sfiry appliances will be purchased and operated by the sheriff. TI1o new de partment to (he sheriff's office Is made necessary by the number of criminals of bad character who have come- Into the hands of the sheriff re cently, says the Walla W'ulla Bulletin. "For some time," said Sheriff Havi land today, "I have been contemplat ing the installation of a rogues' gal lery. If we had something of this sort here It would aid us In many ways, and while Its usefulness may not be felt for a year or two, the gallery will grow Into a bureau of Information that will be extremely valuable. For some time past I have been taking the plc'ures of convicted criminals who were a little out of the ordinary, and have been keeping them. Hut this en tails the expense of paying a photog rapher to do this work, when we might Just as well do It ourselves." The pictures and descriptions will be arranged In alphabetical order, and kept In a manner where easy access PRICES REDUCED. ON EVER It Is ripe, or not at all. For this rea son the orange crop not Infrequently becomes a liability to the producer In stead of an asset. The question may be asked: "Is there not grent danger that the apple, like the orange, may, by over production, become a losing proposi tion to the grower?" Tills Is a very pertinent question. I do not believe It at all probable that there will be an overproduction of good, first-class winter apples. Of course, It will not pay to raise poor apples any more than It would to raise poor oranges. The market gets the best oranges that tho grower can pro duce. In the future that must be the case Willi the apple. The product Is going to he better because the apple grower Is learning how to guard gainst diseased trees and to keep the fruit tree from penis that will mar the fruit. They are learning, In fait have learned, that the apple orchard should be kept clean, should be cultivated and given every possible rare. Where the orchard can be Irrigated the supply of moisture Is so regulated Vliat the trees will get as much as, and no more moisture Ihan Is necessary to produce time the rogues' gallery of Walla Wal la will be one of the most Interesting places In the Garden City. noxn issvi: is valid. lily of Portland Will Spend Five Mil lions on Improvements.
