(New York Fruitmen's Guide.)
The finest and most complete exhibi
tion of apples by nil otitis ever seen in
the eftit is that viewed in the main
showroom of tho Fruit Auction building.
Poeaibly it is underestimating it to say
merely that the exhibition was tho fin
est ever seen in tho east, buciiiiBO one
gentleman, not a member of the trade,
who visited tho display on the first day,
said thnt in tho courao of an experi
ence that had encompassed such dis
plays in all parts of America and Eu
rope, he had never seen the parallel of
the one which caused Buch a furore
among the local trade this week.
The exhibition consisted exclusively
of Hood River, Or., apples, nnd was
made on behalf of the Huod River Ap
plegrowers' union. The whole of the
vajuexn main snow room was taken up
uy tne display. A lavish arrangement
f bunting and fliigs with potted palms
and plants afforded a most excvllttnt
und picturesque background for the
apples themselves, and the fry grant
bouquet of the fruit fillod the room. In
all there were 44 varieties of Hond
.Hirer apples, represented in the 200
odd boxes displayed at tho exhibition.
Admired by Crowds.
The admiring crowds which filled the
auction company's showroom all day
through the three days of tho exhibit
included a great many men who do not
make a trip to this part of the world
once in a blue moon, us well as a great
uuuy mod is lily drusscd women. No
jeweler's or floriut's window ever af
forded a finer feast to the urtistie eye
of iu some cases delicate, in others of
vivid coloring, and no perfumery store
ever greeted the nostrils so deliciously.
The experts and the men whoso life
business it is to know all about apples
were at one iu their opinion of this ex
traordinary exhibit with Uiobo whose
knowledge of tho apple is confined to
seeing it iu the stores nnd on their
tables. Tho constant crowds who in
spected the double rows of fruit every
apple as perfect in conformation and
coloring as though of tinted wax de
clared it to be an exhibit past beating,
and the show took on an udded interest
-to the real apple men who knew that
every box thus opened on parade, so
to speak, was representative of the en
- tire car from which the box came. In
other words, the Hood River pack is of
such uniform excellence that any box
taken out of tho cars would have at
tracted attention and amazed tho trade
and the public at large equally its well
as tboflo which wero actually opened up
for inspection.
Finest Ever Conceived.
A more inspiring exhibition to the
p. p pie mnu could not bo imagined, mid '
the people at Spokane, who are pre-1
, During for a national apple show, will
have their work cut out to bent the
display made by au individual New
York firm in the interest of the Hood
River Applegrowers ' union. As an ex
ample of the possibilities of the np
plegrowing iu Oregon, nothing finer
could have been conceived. Every daily
peper of account in New York city sen I
a opecial reporter to writo up the show,
with the result thai the Hood River
section got nil amount of advertising
in tho way of pure reading matter that
would warm tho heart cockles of the
most aspiring and ambitious proas agent.
Among such lavish perfection it would
com almost invidious to pick nut any
of the varieties for special mention. At
the same timo it cannot bo denied tli.it
the trade, who out u rally judge the ap
pie as to its variety from its com para
tire commercial importance, had a par
ticular word of praine for the perfect
MpUeoubergH, Newtowns, Baldwins and
Jonathans, worthy in size, conforma
tion and color of a "blue ribbon" in
any apple show in the world. Magnifi
cent specimens of the Ortley a yellow
apple with a glossy pink cheek and
of the Winter Banana, tlian which earih
does not grow a more beautiful appear
nnce or fragrantly scented apple, nnd
the well named Gloria Munili (fllory of
the World) a whitish-yellowish apple
that from a little distance looks just
like 8 grape fruit evoked "oha" and
'ahs" of pleasure and admiration from
the visitors.
Rome Seek No Further.
Thero were alco some Bonk-No -Furthers,
worthy from every point of view :
of their suggestive name; some Red- j
Cheeked Pippins perfect poems in tint; I
Vandevorea a superb, red applo; some
wonderful specimens of tho Northern
Spy thnt, to quote one of the trade who
was inspecting them, made anything
grown in western New York "look
sick nnd a box of Lady apples that
in the regularity of. their size, color
and conformation reminded one to a
dot of the: counting machines used byi
the Chinese. Then, too, there wero the
Mammotn won Kivers. ii woum m'
a man about a day to tackle one of
the gigantie apples, and possibly an
other day to recover from the effects
of having tackled it. The foil list of the
varieties displayed at the show was ar
follows: Newton Pippins. Hpitsraberg.

WILL PAT MORE TO
, STATE THAN LAST TEAR
YItKKA, fa!., ! Tho state
comptroller has just (iid to Tax Collec
tor I'nshburg, tho Central Pacific com
pany's first instalment of taxes on its
roadbed und rolling stock, os assessed
by tho state board of equalization,
whii'Ii amounts to the nenf little sum of
$14,430.23. This does not iuclude the
realty biddings of the company, but
only covers tho roadbed,, right of way
and rolling stock in this county.
Lnst year tho company paid on its
first instalment 9)17,21)8.99, which appa
rently was $2,77S,70 in excess of this
year's payment. Tu reality, tho county
gets more this year than it did last, for
the reason thnt last vear the California
Northeastern railroad was included in
the Central Pacific's assessment, and
was assessed by tho tato board. This
year the California Northeastern was
leased to other parties, and. its roadbed
right of way nnd rolling stock was as
sessed to the lessees by the county ns
sessor and the valuable placed thereon
by him, just as is done in the caso of
on individual property owner.
The county assessor placed the same
valuation on the property that the statr
boni'd did, but as tho California North-
astern holdings have increased by rea
son of the building of some 25 miles
more roadbed sinco lnst year, the as
sessor tins assessed tins at me same
rate. The county gets tho benefit of
tho increased holdings, which v
nmoiint to considerably more than the
lifTeronee as appears between last year
and this year on the Central Pacific as
sessment.
