While the Urn U rather early to mnke in )'.! mite on the coming applo ':op that would be of any (reat Talue. yet the prospects ate auch aa to :orm a fair ly accurate general estimate o ton dltlona. According to the bett-intormed fruit men of Front atreet, who keep In touch with the varloua diatrlcta of the state, there will be an arerage yield in the Hood Klver section, lightly leu In the valley and con flicting report! aa regard! Rogue Ri ver valley district, though the ma jority favor aa average yield. Coos Bay county, party because of the lack of quick transportation, has- not yet figured in the apple trade of Port land to an extent that affects prices one way or the other. - That district, however, made an excellent showing In its exhibits last fall and Is bound o become a factor In this market "be- fore a great while. The friendly competition between Hood River and the Willamette val ley, carried on for the last few years for supremacy in the apple Industry, has resulted In niaktug Oregon ap ples better known in eastern markets, and orchardists are reaping the bene fit in receiving higher prices for their product and enjoying an increasing demand for their fruit. So far as the state at large Is con cerned It matters little whether Hood River or Willamette valley captures the greater number of prizes at ap ple shows; but It does concern the whole state that the Industry be kept ap to the high standard attained so that the best prices may be obtained tor the fruit and added wealth flow ltno the coffers of our people. ..ast year there was a marked shortage of cars at apple picking time, which is expected not to happen this year. Prompt handling and de livery to eastern market! are most desirable In the apple shipping busi ness, and report! from the centers indicate that the matter of good transportation facilities Is being brought to the attention of general freight agents now so that when th-3 time arrives everything shall move quickly and satisfactorily. Some small early green apples ap peared on the street yesterday -from The Dalles, but size and flavor com pared unfavorably with apples fro'n California. Price was from 60c a box up, according to quality. ' CRIME TO HtlNK OX TRAINS. NEW ORLEANS, La., July 27.

All the fields west of the range, except the Coos Bay, are of rather small area, the largest being the Upper Nehalem. which has an area of less than 20 square miles. The coal of all these fields la Ugnitic. It! transportation la confined exclusively to Coos Bay and the Pacific ocean, and San Fran cisco Is the principal market. The Coos Bay field Is divided by It! struc ture Into six portions four basins and two arches. The basins are known as the Newport, the Beaver slough, the Coquille and the South slough, and are separated by the Westport and Pulaski arches. As practically all of the product from Coos Bay has ben shipped by water to San Francisco, the substitu tion of oil for coal in most of the manufacturing industries of that city hat cut oft a considerable portion of the market for this coal.
