Inactive Market I tls Said, Due to
the Present Higli Cost
of Fruit.
(Ti'lrpram.)
'"An artivo iinle market raiinot In

the leading' front street whososalers.

hold the tipples that come to this mar

body knows, are not fancy stork
out of the reaeh of the general con
siliums; public ju.t becau.-e the best
grades grown at Hood Kiver and else
where in the Mate command big prices
in the distant markets.
'It is a simple market fact that
when prices are too high the t'ryit
will not move, and that is the condi
tion that prevails now. There is no
use arguing a scarcity of fair to good
quality of fruit in this state this
year. There is plenty of it. but the
prices at which the product in a gen
eral way is held are prohibitive.
Therefore the market is a slow af
fair at a time when there should be
something doing in the apple trade,
and until there is some sort of re
adjustment in the way of prices it
will remain sluggish, the fruit in a
large way rotting instead of going
into "consumption. '
'The Hood River growers, as is
well known, have sold the bulk of
their fancy fruit, and at prices that
makeapple-growing one of the most
profitable industries in the state. The
same may be said of other leading
apple districts, and the high prices
obtained have so stimulated the bull
ish attitude of the growers that they
are now holding their seconds and
common apples at prices that market
conditions .do not at all warrant.
"Fruit dealers on the street today
are holding Oravensteins. Kings.
Snows and other sorts that cannot
be graded as fancy at $1.75 to $2.25.
and in some cases even $2.50 a box.
wholesale of course, -while for or
dinary to fair cooking apples they
demand $1.5'0 to $1.75. But the fruit
is not moving in anything like a. free
way. and it will not until there is a
change. Consumers who do not feel
like paying the retail prices these
wholesale charges necessitate will
simply wait, or do without; that's all
there in to it.
"I believe apple prices in this mar
ket should be lowered, and T believe
they will be lowered. The fact that
California apples are now coming
here in a fairlv free way and good
stock at that will naturally have some
effect on the local trade. One car of
fine California Bellflowers came in
this week and it is said that a car
of velloiv Kewtowns is on the way.
With some of the Oregon growers who
are demanding- fancv prices for only
fair quality fruit it may within a
short time be a question of selling or
not selling."

Victor Hugo's Masterpiece at The
Savoy.
.Victor Hugo created the greatest
character in fiction, Jean . V aljear
He will never die in literature, and
his life will be an inspiration to many.
Tonight at the Savoy in the pictorinl
pantomime, "The Galley Slave," the
early incidents of Jean Valjean's life
are portrayed with dramatic inten
sity seldom seen in a motion pic
ture. As a work of art this film can
not be improved upon and is extreme
ly interesting as well as educational,
"Willie Emly Can, the Hungry Ac
tor," and "How Brown Got Married"
are two laughographs brimfil of good
clean comedy, and bring forth many
a good, honest, hearty laugh. "The

A triumphal entry into S.ui 1'iau
ci.v'o will be made by Don t'a-par dc
I'ortohi on October I'.t, when the stal
wart old Spanish warrior will return
to that city after an absence of 1 10
years. The booming of guns from nil
the foreign battleships in pott I'm' the
purpose, will announce his eul ranee
and at the same time give greetings
to California's first governor.
Then' will Don Caspar proceed I'roiir
the ferry through the thronged cily
thoroughfares, riding boldly and pic
turesquely at the head of thousands
of t ho best drilled and most perfectly
trained troops in the world today. A
full company of dragoons, recruited
from the handsomest and sturdiest
men in Sjin Francisco will serve as
the escort of the royal don. Mounted
upon spirited chargers, adorned with
helmets and cuirasses, this body
guard will furnish one of the most
picturesque and characteristic bits of
life and color in the entire pageant.
Following the Spanish dragoons
will march a vast procession of in
fantry, artillery, cavalry, sailors fnun
the various war vessels and uniform
ed teams from fraternal orders which
will extend through the streets for
miles.
Squalls of Chinese and Japanese
fighting men fnun their battleships,
detachments from the Dutch and Ital
ian cruisers, and jnckies from the
English and German warships in the
harbor will inarch along, side by side,
and our own soldiers jiuid sailors will
follow the dragoons, mnrchiug to tin
inspiring strains of huge regimental
and naval bands.
Passing up the streets, whose tall,
stately buildings are to be a' marvel
of color, and viewed by thousands
and thousands of excited eyes, the
king and his command will proceed
to Marshall square, where the mayor
will meet the noble Spaniard and aft
er n formal greeting will present him
with the golden key to the city gates.
The key in his possession, the king
will then go to meet his beautiful
queen. This event will be one of the
most striking and impressive of the
day. Behold the doughty warrior,
clad in his leather hiiskin and top
boots, with clanking sword and wav
ing plumes, riding forth to meet his
fair consort. Queen Virgilia. also
