The Apple Outlook Summarizing from an extended report received by it on the ap ple situation the Chicago Packer draws the following conclusions for the approaching apple season: Should this year apple crop In the more Important producing state finally prove to he as large a the eat tin tea received this week Indi cate. In all likelihood connervatUm should be the watchword of all In tereated In marketing the crop, the word having special learlng on the matter of speculation and also to considerable extent In regard to prices. Conservatism does not by any means mean that prices should be very low, nor does Its use In this connection suggest a tardiness on the part of buyers in securing sup plies for the season's trade. It Is simply a warning against undue bullish enthusiasm, which has, on several occasions, made the entire di-al a profitless one both for the grower and operator. It Isn't alone the buyers who lose when prices are started too high In the fall, and a disastrous reaction occurs late, cut ting off the demand to such an ex tent that finally low prices become necessary to move fi large share of the storage holdings late In the sea son. Of recent years, with more ex tensive and Improved storage facili ties, and the accompanying business conveniences, growers have become liberal storers, and, of course, they feel the market changes as keenly as speculators or other buyers. "That too high prices In the fall, at harvest time, have a material ten dency to curtail the season's con sumption Is a generally accepted reality la the trade. "Conservative prices, however, do not mean that values should be too low. "As a matter of fact conservatism, properly practiced, would also avoid that extreme, which is equally as un desirable as too high prices. If not, Indeed, more to be avoided. But with the vast amount of speculative buying that Is done every season there Is little likelihood of prices be ing started unreasonably low; com petition may be depended upon to prevent such a condition. As long as there Is a storage room available, and money Is not too difficult to bor row, there will be sufficient demand to keep apple prices high enough to give the grower a reasonably good share of the profit. Really, the thing to tie guarded against- Is to keep prices from getting so high that the consumption will be limited, and thereby the outlet for the growers' offerings restricted to such an ex tent that the crop can't all be mar keted with reasonable activity. "The country's crop is so distribu ted this season that there are likely to be plenty of buyers In every sur plus district to keep the trade lively. No district Is likely to have a bur densome supply, considering the probable outlet, and with prices that will attract consumers' attention, the movement should be steady and possessed of reasonable activity. "Broadly speaking, there will, In all probability, be plenty of apples to go around. "With little change In the York state crop from a year ago, and more apples In the Virginias and New Kngland, the East will have a moderate surplus, but the great Mississippi valley section, considered as a whole, will be a liberal buyer, and the South, of course, can be de pended upon to take Its usual share. The export outlook Is fairly good and considerable eastern fruit will go for that purpose. "Michigan has a light crop, con siderably smaller than last year, and Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and, to a less marked extent, Ohio and Indiana, have short crops, and will need lots of apples from other states. "Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas have fair crops, In tli ag gregate a little larger than the pro ductlon of a year ago, but tb-w states, too, will profit by the short-1 age In neighboring states. j "With the exception of Colorado' and Montana, the western etaU hare good crops. In fact the prom-1 Ised yield In California, Oregon and. Washington Is notably encouraging, not alone In regard to quantity, but j the quality Is likely to le superb. The fine reputation the box apples j have In this country and also abroad j can be depended upon In a marked , degree to aaslst In their successful distribution. "All told, this ought to le a profit- "corruption. lose sight of the fact that the nominees of the assembly will have to be voted for at the pri maries the same as other candi dates. No voter will be forced to vote for assembly candidates. The situation in regard to this is nicely summed up in a few lines by the Amity (Ore.) Standard, which says: The Kepubllcau assembly has reg istered Its choice of nominees for the party and has retired, recognizing the right of others to do likewise. On which the Oregonian aptly comments as follows: Exactly. The situation could not I stated better or more clearly. The assembly asserted Its right to confer through Its delegates and to suggest candidates. It sought only to place Its recommendations lefore the primary, where they should Is? determined on their merits. There was no other Idea, no other desire, no other expectation, on the part of the assembly. What has the assembly done that has In any was limited the free op tion of the Republican voters In tne primary? What has the assembly done that Interferes lu the slightest way or lu any way with the privi lege of any other group of Republi cans or any Individual Kepultllcan from suggesting or naming his or their own candidates? In what par ticular has the assembly failed to comply with the primary law In letter and In spirit? Who Is worried about the assem bly and Its work except the profes sional Democratic guides, counselors and directors-general of the Republi can party? C, NORTHWEST NOTES C. I Greater progress has been made by the business Interests of Oregon be tween March 29 and June 30 than In any two-montbs period In the his tory of the state since the establish ment of the state bank examiner's office. This Is disclosed In the report of the bank examiner, just made, covering that period. Deposits In the banks of the state at the close of business June .'W totalled $11.",196, 9M5, a gain since March 29 of $1,192, 70r..

Eight new banks were established In the state during the period covered by the report. That the Oregon Trunk road will be ready for service to Madras by Jauuary 1, 1911, Is now promised un less unexpected difficulties arise. Grading from the Columbia River south will be completed, Is believed, by September 1. Imj Ing of rails will then be begun and ballasting will be done as fast as each mile of track Is laid. Thus It will be but a short time between the laying of the last rail and the opening of the road for business. Grading south of Madras toward Bend Is also being rushed and the building of the road for that distance will follow completion of the line to Madras. Oregon's two Infantry regiments and ambulance company of the Na tional Guard will go Into camp at American Iake this month and par ticipate In the usual Joint field ma neuvers with the regular army. Au gust H Is fixed as the date of depar ture, and the men will remain In camp ten days. Adjutant General FInzer has Issued orders for the mo bilization of his troops. Coos Bay Is going to Improve Its harbor and the channel from the ocean Into the bay. I'ubllc docks and warehouses are to le built as well. For this purpose It Is the In tention to expend $3O0.0H). It Is pro posed to Issue 20-year bonds bear ing " per cent Interest. Coos Bay i people approve this project gener j ally, but the commission of the port ' has decided to leave the matter to a vote at the fall election. The plan contemplates a great Improvement of the Coos Bay harbor. iSecrvtary Wilson of the Depart ment of Agriculture has been In Ore gon during the past week seeking Information In regard to the settle ment of lands Include In the forest r-Mt-rves of the state. He plans to have the reserves re-mapped and the boundaries established In an accu rate way. It Is said much land Is In cluded In the reserves that should not le, and when the new maps are completed .",0"",000 or 6,000,000 acres now in reserves In this state will be opened up for settlement. Preserva the Scenic Wonder Editor The News: Why the scenic spot with It natural glories, one of the great attraction of the Hood Hive valley, should lie called the "devil"" punch bowl I more than I can understand. It may sound rig Idly orthodox, and It Is a terrible vortex, but the orthodox devil cer tainly did not have anything to do with creating It or clothing It with a ucb wonderful U'auty. Nor are there any special evidence of hi presence there, much less of hi own ership of the premise. That unique combination of whirlpool and water fall Joins the star In their chorus, singing as they shine, "The hand that made us Is divine," aud declares the glory of God. You do well to commend thote lover of uuture who see lu the rivers fall and whirl pools, as well as lu mountain aud vale lu their gran deur, something more than the util itarian uses that would destroy their natural beauties. Such are real ben efactors, I commeud both you and them, 1 am In hearty sympathy with the movement to preserve that scenic spot In all It uutural glory, the Punch Bowl and enough of the region round about to make It a beautiful park. Thousuuds of peo ple would visit such a park and look upou Its wonders with admiration and go tell their friends. Excursions from Portland would Include h trip to the Punch Bowl. Hood River and the entire valley would greatly profit by It. Let the movement take definite shape and be pushed with enthusi asm. Truly, T. B. Fokii. H 1 Hood River Light & Power Company......
