SEVERAL PRECEDENTS.
Mayor Lane of Portland, seems to
have made Portland take notice of an
evil that evidently has given them lit
tle concern until he issued orders to
have the inmates of the White Chapel
district to move out.' Since then he
has been the oasis ot euiioiimu, ser
mons, personal communications and
the topic of general conversation.
Some propose this, some that. Few,
however, believe that he can accom-
' plish what he has set out to do. He
has the power and undoubtedly can
drive these lawbreakers from the city.
Public sentiment, as reflected through
the press, doeB not silggest that it will
approve of so radical a change all at
once. But this is a day of doing
things, not compromising, and If
Mayor Lane is not playing politics and
has a little backbone, he can enforce
the ordinances. The general public
all over the state is giving more atten
tion to these mutters than formerly,
especially since so many counties of
the state have gone dry, and In every
Instance the inmates of the redllght
districts have been reduced by at least
SO per cent upon the local option law
going Into effect. La Grande has
been no exception.
One of tho women inPortlnnd, In
demanding that their business should
be licensed the same as ' saloons, Is
quoted in the Oregonlun as follows:
"The city licenses saloons," snld
one, "and why should not our places
be licensed? If It were not for the sa-
, loons we would sturve to death In this
business, and we do not cause any of
the trouble or crimes that saloon."
rnusc." ' 1 1 '
I If Portland cannot entirely wipe, out
this evil It has a precedent in many
counties of. the state -whereby
60 per cent of this evil can be wiped
out, to say nothing of the direct evils
of the saloon.

AN APPLE MARKET.
Consul John V. Thomas of Man
chester, calls the attention of apple
growers of America to the opportuni
ties of that city as a profitable market.

paragraph:.
The very warm weather which has
been experienced this summer In west
rrn Norway has not been without a
few drawbacks In some districts. In
Sogn especially, a district from which
a great supply f fruit, such as apples
and pears, conies, the yield will be
smaller than usual on account of the
ravages of Insects which attacked the
crops. So severe has this been th;it

COMMUNICATION.
La Grande, Oct. 6. (To the Editor.)
We had noticed in the papers that
fruit orchards down at Hood River
had been selling, for price ranging
from $1000 to $1800 per acre, and
apples were selling as high as $3.25
per. box f. o. b. Hood River, We have
found, on Investigation, that these are
the facts. - Ten acres of 6-year-old
bearing orchard did sell a short time
ago for $16,000, We saw this orchard
and the man who sold It. Not all the
apples nor all the orchards sell for
these prices, but the average prices
are easily double the amounts we re
ceive In the Grande Ronde valley for
either orchards or apples.
They do not pick and store in loose
boxes and keep them for months until
many of them are shrunken and rotten,
but they are packed and shipped on
sale contract immediately after pick
ing. Ten per cent Is paid down on the
signing of the contract, and the bal
ance is drawn through the bank before
the apples are unloaded at the point of
delivery. The fancy first grade of ap
ples this year bring from $2.50 to $3.25
per box on cars at Hood River, the
second grade or choice bring $1.50 to
$2, and the third grade or culls bring
about what we get for our regular
stock, as it runs and is graded here. '
"When it is known that the Grande
Ronde valley will raise certain varie
ties of apples as fine as any In the
world, the question arises how have
the people at Hood River secured such
wonderful results? The answer can
be reduced to two words, "Organlza
tlon" and "System." I was told by
the growers that three years ago they
received 80 cents per box for the same
pack and variety of apples that they
get $3.25 for this year, and organiza
tion, system and advertising made the
difference. The whole community is
Interested in apples, and everybody
boosts for Hood River. There are
hundreds of fine, elegant residences
going up on every hand and brick
business blocks going up on every
block In the business part of the city.
All the farmers have beautiful homes,
fine barns, packing and outhouses on
their places... All the lands of the val
ley are planted to orchard so they
have to ship In all the feed for teams
and cows, and provisions and vegeta
bles for the family. They say they
cannot afford to grow feed and vege
tables on $1000 lund.
Tho organization Is. a corporation
with about $25,000 capital. The sys
tem is on the army plan, and every
member of the army must obey orders
mpllcltly In every detail from the
time the work commences In the spring
until the lust apple Is loaded on the
cars. The union started with about 20
members, and It now numbers over
250, and It costs $100 initiation fee to!
gain admittance.
There Is no secret about the success
of the apple business at Hood River.
It Is simply applying the same princi
ples that makes a success of any busi
ness proposition. Concentration of ef
fort, competent management, enforc-
ng the laws with nference to pests
and diseases, producing the size and
quality and making the proper pack Is
what brings success and hlRh prices
for the product, or In other words.
"organization and system." Give us
some of It and watch La Grande and
the Grande Ronde valley grow.
