It was decided, however, to continue tho policy of sending every available man and woman into the orchards, but the consensus was that nothing would be gained by rinsing the stores und other places of business. - SI tort ago of.

Ore., Oct. 13 I Wild turkeys promise to become game bird available to Oregon entire, apple crop Is on the ground (hunters, according to K. F. Awr- iind will be a tutal loss, lie au thorized the following statement: "When the apples commenced to drop about Oct. 1, there wus still 50 per cent of tho crop left on tho trees. Hlnco that time half oT that lias fallen, or 26 per cent of the entire crop, lu my opinion, tho apples that have fallen will bo al most a complete loss. It Is doubt ful It any of thorn can be graded and packed, nnd if they re, they should be kept sepurulu from liund-pleked fruit. "Any of tho windfall fruit pack ed und stored along with hand picked apples will Injure the stor age quality of tho lot.

Their stockhold ers are representative of every business and of every walk in life, and in a true sense represent the general public. , The Housewives' Council "Water 1 and Power" Amendment refers to "publicly owned and operated utilities" but means STATE OWNED AND POLITI CALLY OPERATED. The practical result, of the Amendment would be to destroy all opportunity for development of power or irrigation projects by private initiative or capital under state regulation. Oregon, wholly without experience of its own as a guide, and without a successful example in any other state, by this amendment would close the door of all future development, except at the hands of a political board. At the same time it would place the additional burden of a $53,000,000 bond issue upon the taxpayers. Politics would be an expensive substitute for thrift and enterprise. .
