QUARTERLY MEETING CLACKA
MAS POMONA AT OSWEGO.
, The Oregon State Horticultural So
ciety opened its annual, meeting yes
terday morning in the Knights-of
Pythias Hall, Marquam building, with
the largest attendance in its history
and the finest exhibit,. of apples ever
made in the Pacific Northwest. While
the display is much smaller than the
famous one of the Hood. River bien
nial fruit show a year ago, the past
Fall,', which .. -eventually won the St.
Louis gold medal for Oregon, or the
exhibit at the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition, it is conceded by the many ex
pert fruit-growers now in the city that
the quality of apples exceeds anything
ever shown by Oregon or any other
Northwest state. Seven handsome
cups were awarded yesterday after
noon. by competent judges. .The ex
hibits, were so evenly matched .that
it was a difficult task to. make the de- i
cisions, and in the case of Yellow I
Newtons. competition was so even that
the decision was made on the shape of
the apples, all other points being ex
actly even.
' The Baldwins were. also exceeding
ly difficult to judge, for the displays were
ail of such excellence that it was hard
I to differentiate. The prize .finally
I went to Mr. Lownsdale, but the spec
I imens displayed by Mr. Marquam, of
Hood River, and Mr. Wallace, of Mc
k"jMlnnville, were just as .good to the
ordinary observer. There was no cup

In close competition, and the fruit of
this popular variety is being improv

the finest apples in this section of
the country, both as a shipper and as
an apple of beautiful appearance and

honorable mention, in the four given.
Dr. J. R. . Card well, president of the
society, opened the - morning session
at 10 o'clock, and ...made an eloquent
and hearty address of . welcome, re
ferring . to the . -magnificent horticul
tural . display at the Exposition last
Summer, and the favorable comment
it excited among visitors of note. The
morning program included an able pa
per by L. M. Gilbert, of r Salem, .on
"How and - Where to Plant Prunes
As to the planting of apple and other
fruit orchards, .Mr. Gilbert advocates
the thorough working and reworking
of the soil before planting and advises
against placing trees too close to
gether. .. .
In the "Experience of an . Amateur
Fruitgrower in Oregon," H. C. AtweH,
of . Forest Grove, admitted , himself to
be perplexed as- to the proper culture
of a prune orchard and asked advice
and general discussion on whether a
disc or a plow should be used in cer
tain, instances.
"Nomenclature" was the subject of
an interesting discourse by J. B. Pil
kington, of Portland, who stated that
a standard should be established for
the naming and classifying of orchard
products.

by the county for inspection is di

been spent in Portland by Inspector
Reid he is now engaged in his country

post in Portland because of lack of
funds for the purpose. Many other
prominent fruitgrowers were at the

. There . is ., a section of the Colorado
desert where nature has left some re
markable records. She has visited the
region alternately with fire and water,
and has left it with neither. It is the
most desolate, wild, barren, forbidding
part of the desert, says the Los Ange
les Times, and it Is shunned alike by
man and beast. That, there is good
and sufficient reason for avoiding this
locality is . attested by numbers., of
graves, nameless for the. most part,
found in the terrible region. . . ,
.These . graves . are simple affairs,
merely mounds of earth with a border
of stones about ach and a pile of
rocks two or three feet high at the
bead.. Each tells the story of a
tragedy of, heat, .thirst ' and- death.
Those items. are about all that, is ever
known of the stories of those who
perish, i Their . mummified bodies - or
bleached . bones are found. .long after
the. struggle, is over, and the, finder,, re
specting the memory of the. unknown,
scoops a hole in . the earth, lays the
ghastly relic within and piles up the
only monument available in that wild
region. . ...... ,

it It was built on the site of the old
feudal fortress In a sort of, freak- of th
sense of opportunity. It was -meant to
give room and verge enough to a gen
eration, bent on having a good time.m
hall and bower. It was still a fortress :
of a kind, but this only as an af ter
thought. In the main it was a palace
for sport and festival. It might have
stood, on dry land;, it. preferred -to
bridge a river. There Was no-want of
space in other directions, but this seenir
ed best as a stroke of constructive im- :
pudence. The architect at the bidding"
of Diana of Poitiers jumped the Cher
as a schoolboy would have, jumped, a .
brook. The huge arches never carried"
anything of use to mankind at large,
not even a right of way.

structure,, and the bridge might have
been called ."Diana's folly." - But spa

ble servant to the day of hid death. She
inspired one. of.. the .greatest sculptors
of her time in his creation of & Venus
that rivaled the antique.
She was ,-one ... of the- mightiest land .
grabbers of history, adding chateau to
chateau with, a purpose that never f al- '
tered and by methods of smooth, nn
emotional persistence that never failed. -She
started wf.tb everything against
her ; in that epoch of the worship of
youth when, she began her siege of the
heart of the dauphin of France. .She-
was a widow, and a widow with a
family,; yet she knew no pause in her '
triumphant career till she had married
and . dowered, them all and . iprovided
herself with a choice of palaces for her
old age. She never made an enemy or
