THE APPLE.
"Adam and Eve wove the first horticulturists and the
apple was the first fruit named. The apple started with
man in the garden 'of Eden and it will be with him in para
dise," says Professor Gustaf Aon Schoenleber, who has
just completed a tour of the fruit valleys in the northwest,
where he passed six months in scientific orchard work.
"That the earliest varieties of apples were not to be
compared to the products of modern orchards," he adds,
"is evidenced by the fact that even as late as the time of
Pliny, the only apple known was a crab 'a wilding,' upon
which many a foul and shrewd curse was poured on ac
count of its sourness." '
Professor Schoenleber also declares that as fruit was
made before meat, it may have berti the Creator's hint it
should be first in human diet. He contends that more fruit
and less meat will tend to' make men healthier and bettei1,
from the fact, as he puts it, that diet influences man and
shapes his destiny, adding: "Meat-eaters are not good sub
jects for revivals. Lamb said : 'A man cannot have a pure
mind who refuses apple dumpling.'
"There is something twisted in the man who does not
like a good apple, especially the kind grown in the north
western country, winch in its present day perfection holds
even more glories than the fruit which tempted the original
actors in the fall of man. There is no sweeter appeal to
the senses of sight and smell than the pink and white and
red of the apples in their setting of fresh, soft, green leaves.
No artist has yet combined his colors in such perfect har
mony. . .
"I have seen the southern peach trees in blossom, the
cherry trees of Japan in bloom and the flowering almonds
in many lands, but none was as beautiful as an apple tree
in May. The apple satisfies four senses and the birds in
the branches grve their songs of gladness to the fifth. But
apple culture ia not all beauty and sentiment. The market
returns meet the demand for dividends, yielding' in golden
coin a certain per cent that makes orchards desirable in
vestments at from $250 to' $3000 an acre.
"The fact that science looks upon the apple as the pre
mier brain food because of the abundance of phosphoric
acid in digestible f orm, should conduce every man who con
siders his own and his country's welfare to join the apple-a-day
army, which has for its motto, 'An apple a day keeps
the doctor away.' Modern reformers also advocate apples
as a cure for the liquor habit. This should result in an
apple famine all over the country where the crusaders are
planting their white banners.
"The apple industry gives pleasure, health and food
and the returns from some of the orchards in the west are
like the realization of dream-laden argosies from Golcon
da. The apple is also a good tree toplant along highways
and streets and in waste places. Every farm should have
its orchard, and every city or suburban' lot its apple tree,
for, even if it bore no fruit, it is worth its keep for its
fragrance and beauty, while the prices the fruit commands
gives a practical sensation which does not detract from
the romantic side.
"The hope of every normal man is to own a piece of
ground. He dreams of the time when he can hold title to
an acre or more of land and upon it plant trees from whose
limbs he may pluck f nut. This love of orchard and garden
is the home instinct which flames in every heart and is the
lingering reminder of man's origin in the first garden.
"If you want pleasure, get your acre of land, plant
apples and know the joy which nature confers upon her
votaries. ' ; '
"If you want health, plant apples. The work, the air
and the sunshine will drive away disease and the dark
thoughts. ;
"If you want food, plant apples. There is no more
perfect diet.
"If you want profit, plant apples. The returns are
greater than from any other crop.
"The poets have found the flowers subjects for their
song. Scott saw the beauty of the thistle, Byron glori
fied the rose and Burns immortalized the daisy, and Wads
worth's heart danced with daffodils. Others praised the
modest violet and some rhapsodized over the clover's sweet
perfume, but the apple blossom appears to have been for
gotten.. If my pen were poetic my song would be to the
glory of the favorite of the humming bird and the bee. ,
"If I am called in springtime, no flower will be more
welcome than the apple blossom, and no monument finer
than the apple tree to mark my place of rest, and when I
enter that realm where every day has its fruit, where flow
ers are always in bloom, and where all is beautiful, I ask
for nothing more perfect than a profusion of apple trees
in blossom and the air fragrant with their perfume."

Justllng Little City Will Advertise Its
Resources to Utmost in Corn
Inn Year.
Wliiio t'.io ruiustortn of Monday
"voninj; hindered many members und
others from attending the special
meeting of the Commercial club, the
meeting was one of the must enthu
siastic in the club's history, says the
William Bittle Wells, publicity ninu
ager of the Southern Pacific, was
present and presented his proposi
tion for advertising Central Point and
vicinity to the club, and while it was
heartily endorsed by every member
present, formal acceptance of the of
fer was postponed until Wednesday
afternoon in order that the members
who were stormbound Monday eve
ning should be given mi opportunity
to investigate and pass on the matter.
Tho proposition is by far the most
attractive of any yet offered to any
Oregon community by the Southern
Pacific company, embodying as it
docs many new features recently de
vised and added by the company.
Given in brief the proposition is sub
stantially as follows:
Tho Southern Pncifie company will
send its own staff of expert photog
raphers, artists and special writers
to Central Point to secure pictures,
innko maps of tho district to bo ad-i
vertised, prepare copy for books,
folders, etc., thee to d their work
under the direction and in conjunction
with the Commercial club. They also
pay for all the engraviugs necessary
for the production of the booklets,
folders, etc. Literature to bo furnish
ed the club embraces the following:
Ten thousand copies of a commu
nity, booklet of lti pages mid cover,
fix!) inches, with four-color cover nnd
inside printed on superfine book pa
per in double-tone ink, all work' and
press work to be strictly first-class.
Fifteen thousand copies of "Con
ductor Booklet, How to Get to Cen
tral Point," 4x8 inches, 12 pages and
cover.
Ten thousand copies folder, S'jx
o1, 4 pages and cover.
Fifteen thousand copies "Colon
ist" folder for spring season, lfjlO,
and 13,0(10 copies of same for fall
season, 1910.
Publish extracts from Central
Point booklet in magazine, "A Road,"
a mngazine published in several dif
ferent languages in Europe by the
Harriman lines.
A one-half page advertisement of
Central Point in Sunset magazine for
one year.
A two-pnga illustrated article on
Central Point to be published in Sun
set magazine.
To include Ccntrnl Point tn the lec
ture plan of the Hai-iimai) Hues in
the east.
Complete service of the Sunset
iromeseekers' bureau for one year.
To assist in circulating Central
Point literature. The Southern Pa
cific company will furnish . stamps,
envelopes, etc., for mailing 1 Central
Point literature to the amount of
$1000 if desired.
To exhibit products of the Central
Point section in the east.
The charge for this entire service
is but $1200 and the Southern Pacific
company will expend on the work
practically $5 for every dollar put up
by Central Point. In other words,
the community will receive about
$7000 worth of advertising for $1200.
In addition to paying $1200 the
only other requirement is that the
club shall furnish trnnsporation and
guides for the photographers, art
ists and writers while in the valley
securing pictures and data for the
work.
During the meeting the attention
of Mr. Wells was directed to the loca
tion of the depot in the middle of the
street, to the urgent need of tele
graphic service here and to the fact
that Central Point is not given proper
credit on maps of the company circu
lated in the east and to the fact thnt
tickets cannot be purchased to Cen
tral Point from eastern places as
they can in some instances to smaller
and less important towns. Mr. Wells
was, much interested in nil of these
complaints and assured the club that
upon his return to Portland he would
immediately take the matter up with
the proper officials. lie was particu
larly intcrcste d in the feet thnt wo
have no telegraph service here and
denounced the matter as an outrage
on the citizens of a town of this im-portflsce.
