We desire to call attention to our
Commercial club and those Interested
Jn fruitgrowing to an article appear
ing on page , Here Is an opportunity
that Grande Ronde valley cannot af
ford to pass by. In the first place we
should have an exhibit of our fruit
In Portland along with other fruit ex
hibits at the meeting of the Oregon
Horticultural society, the first four
days In December. Twenty of the best
boxes of apples will then be displayed
In the window of the largest depart
ment store in the world, for two days
on Sixth avenue, New York city.
From there these 20 boxes of apples
mill be presented to King Edward of
England, and Emperor Wllhchn of
Germany. The Commercial club of
Portland have made ail the necesxary
arrangements and It Is worthy of the
co-operation of the entire state. It
la safe to say that no similar 20 boxes
of Oregon fruit will ever bo presented
to as many hundreds of thousand of
people. There Is no reason why the
, Grande Rpnde valley should not con
tribute her share. However, If we
were not so fortunate as to realize our
fullest expectations, an exhibit at Port
land would be beneficial to our county.

Several memoers of the legislature
from eastern Oregon will endeavor to
secure the passage of a bill to provide
for a bounty on coyote scalps. This
wits law for several years, and was
so basely ubused that the people de
manded its repeal. There may be
some Justice In the demand, If the graft
features can be eliminated. Oregon
unquestionably paid several thousand
dollars for coyote scalps that were
killed In adjoining stutes when the
former law was effective.

. The enormous amount of mall that
goes Into Wallowa county dally Is one
criterion of the great amount of busi
ness being done since the advent of
the railroad. Today there was only
800 pounds for Wallowa county
towns, but It frequently amounts to
J000 pounds or more.
There Is a veritable boom on in that
section of Oregon. Naturally enough,
the first few weeks of train service
see more travel than normal on ac
count of the novelty of the thing. But
there Is less regret at visiting Wal
lowa today than before the railroad's
development with the result that, the
present train accommodations' are
taxed dally- The express and baggage
cars, each way, are filled to the limit
with the great total of baggage, ex
press and mall. The two coaches sel
dom leave or arrive .without a full
quota of passengers. It Is easily evi
dent from present Indications that in
a few months, er by spring at the lat
est, the O. R. & N. will have to give
additional accommodations on Its pas
senger trains.
