The seventh annual meeting of the American Apple Orowers' Congress, held at St. Louis August loth to 13th, according to The Packer took wide, sweeping action by passing n resolu tlon adopting the Lafeau apple liox The resolution wan adopted after considerable discussion, Its advo cute liolng II. M. Dnnlap and L. A (ioodiuan of Kansas City. Mr. iood- man, In addresslug the meeting, mild that the congress had leen following Jor the past fix ream a tox 11x11x1. liiHlde ineaMureinent, used by the California people and other shippers, hut owing to the wide discussion among the growers for a uniform )ox and basket, he In formed the delegates that It watt about time to Kettle on Home uniform box or banket ho the growers throughout therountry would kuow one way or another where to "get off at." Senator Dunlup then offered a res olution to adopt the btiHhel box as set forth In the lufcau bill, 11x11)4 xls Inches, or as nearly so as to conform with 2,!M2 cubic Inches, the same to apply to btiHhel baskets, and the resolution was adopted. An interesting address was deliv ered to the congress by J. M. Irvine, wilt or of the Western Fruitgrower, who discussed western apple-grow-ing method at length, and who In concluding said: "The apple Industry In the far West Is comparatively new. So much has been said about that re gion lu the past few years that the great majority of eiple are assum ing that Ihe entire country is IsMng planted to apples, but this Is not the case. One of the best ad vertlsed dis tricts In all that region Is the Hood Hirer valley, and yet the acrenge Hunted to apples there I really small, compared with fruit (list ricts in the East. The acreage lu other districts Is larger and is constantly Itclng increased, and yet the total acreage already planted is very small, compared with some of the older fruit districts of the eastern states. Now, what has caused the western npple-growlng districts to attract ho much attention? It is simply I localise the growers are giv ing more attention to the marketing of their products. They grade more carefully and puck with Infinitely more care, applying business princi ples to the business. We should rid ourselves In the first phu'e of the idea that apples growu lu the western states by Irrigation are not of good quality. Dr. Halley says the true orchnrdlst is the man who looks upon his orchard not as so many acres of trees, but us a given numlier of Individual trees, each requiring his HTsonil charge, differing from nil the other trees In the orchard. The western man prunes his trees best and he Is a better cultivator. The western ninn is not entitled to too much credit because of his high grade packing, etc. Me does It simply be cause he must; the freight to eastern markets Is excessive, In many cases as much n5k: per bushel In carlots. It costs as much for him to ship poor apples, bringing a low price, as It does to ship fancy stock. The west ern man will lose money on poor apples, so. If he Is to continue lu the business, he prepares to grow good fruit. The western man has dllllcul tles to face the same as the eastern man apple scab and other forms of fungi, but he Is a better sprayer. Some ineu are now. trying to grow apples who are not cut out for the business, buttlieman who will study can succeed, and I truly Isdlcve a new day will have dawned upon all when all growers will dons the western man is now doing concen trate on a small acreage and live lu the orchard, or, as Mark Twain lias said, put nil your eggs In one basket and then watch the basket." Prof. N. A. Forbes, entomologist of the I'nlverslt.v of Illinois, read n paper on the San Jose scale. Knowl edge of the San Jose scale Is like the ten commandments, "so general It must tie Insisted upon," he said. Prof. Forbes trawl the San Jose scale back to China forty years ago when It first became known In that country. The ncale made Its appear, a nee In this country simply by the importation of Oriental shrubliery. Prof. Forties dcscrilicd the scale as belugas large as the head of a pin, and devoted a good deal of space in describing its pcriilclousncs. He advocated the use of lime and sul phus spruys as the best means In eradicating the evil. He suggested the state be given the power to treat trees wtiere t lie owners prove care less. P. A. Hodgers, orchardlst and manager of me uzark I' run (irow ers' Association, spoke ou organiza tion ami co-operation. He Is a strong believer in the plan of pro ducers' associations for the market ing of crops. Prof Wendell Paddock, of the de (lurtmeut of horticulture, Columbus, Ohio, followed Mr. H jdgers. His address was on Intensive and ex tensive orcharding. The method of the West, he said, must be followed, and suggested to the delegates that to procure results the Middle West must follow the methods ofthe west ern man In packing and grading his fruit. H. M. Duiilup spoke on "Spra.ing: the liest Spray for Scab and Codlin Moth." He said the inula issue on tlie spraying question today was to determine the use of lime and sulphur or the Bordeaux spray. He urged a judicious mixture of the two. This question provoked a good deal of discussion and a good deal of the ufternoon was taken up by the dele gates In describing their personal results on this question. PURITY COMPANY COMBINES ROUTES The Purity Italry Company an nounces that It lias taken over the ('. P. Morton milk route and will take possession of the same Sept. 1st.

Abigail Scott Dunniway Answers Col. Watterson Having seeu Col. Henry Watter son's allusion to woman suffrage Id the -News, Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunni way, a noted woman suffragist of Oregon, and sister of the iate Har vey V. Scott, takes the colonel to task for his remarks. Mrs. Dunni way is president of the Oregon State Equal Suffrage Association, and writes the News as follows: Port laud, Ore, August 20, l'JIO. To the Editor of The Hood Hlver News: I find In the Issue of your Interest ing paper of the 3d Inst. a double leaded display article from the pen of Col. Hetiry Watterson, In the form of an ultimatum on the Woman Question, which would seem to plant him on the Irrevocable plane of om niscient co-partnership with Al mighty (Jod. Now, with all due deference to your evidently affectionate endorsement of this alleged co-partnership, I ven ture to attempt to intrude upon your magnanimity to a sullitleut de gree to express a hope that you will display this article, capitals and all as prominently as Mr. Wattcrsons. If The famous editor were as famil iar with "woman's proper place In thv" world," as any man ought to be who assumes so dignified a co part nership, he would know that the tendency to "sex antagonism," which he fears so much, Is not new, but Is the natural consequence o( the attempt of men to assume a co partnership with (iod In the control of one-half of the human family, with the otherhalf "the moral half" at that, left tint. Thinking mothers und grandmothers of the slighted half of the human family have long deplored this one-sided ami wholly unwarranted relationship, because ftfj 1 sgfa nwn W hile on Ixmt ready to still for Ktirope Mayor (iiiynor of New York was shot in head by ills( hurled city employee, James J. (Jnllnirher. Texas Democrats nominate Oscar 1. Colquitt for governor on nnl I prohibition platform, while other candidates on platform are "dry." After visit to federal prison, Atlanta. Mrs. Charles W. Morse report husband in danger of dying unless releBRPil soon. Wslter Hrooklns, ut Ashurr Park, lost control of aeroplane and plunged Into crowd, severely injuring he bad been & habitual criminal for a long term of years. I would give him an opportunity to make a full defense, and if finally it were estab lished by clear proof that the man was one of those, numbers of whom exist in modern society, whose nature haa been degraded by a life of un deviating wickedness into that of a wild beast, INCAPABLE OF ANY SUBSTANTIAL IM PROVEMENT OR ALTERATION, such a man, in my opinion, should be solemnly adjudged to be PUT TO DEATH. But if, in view of the of Its unhappy consequence, us seen In so many lioiivs. where the sons of women and daughters of men have beeu such utter failures as to cause unhappy parents much anxiety, and in 8" me instances do-vn right humil iation. The contention of Kqual Suf fragists, the majority of whom had raised successful sous and daughters lu happy and. well-ordered homes be fore openly Identifying themselves with the CAl'SK. Is, that Kqual HigbU for women is the only possi ble cure for the "sex antagonism" which so often bears fruit under the preseut dispensation lu disrupted homes, dissipated sons and betrayed (laughters, whose mothers were de nied the freedom of thought and ac tion of which only a few women were free enough to shoulder in the beginning of the struggle. An Intelligent Suffragist, whether man or woman, never looks upon the unfortunate fruits of the present one-sided conjugal relation, which makes reformatory Institutions nec essary for so large a part of the hu man family, without realizing that (iod had no part In legalizing the subjugation of woman. Hut he Is now instigating and inspiring tills Woman Movement to open the wny for women to accomplish better re sults hereafter; Colonel Watterson's dictum to the contrary notwith standing. Since, by an anti-Suffragist's own confession, "woman Is- the moral light of the world," we pray you, men and brethren, not to keep that light under a bushel, but on n can dlestick, that It may illumine the waste places lu human hearts and homes with the sunlight of Liberty for all the people, who so often view to tariff charges of Senator Hrlstow of Kansas. Hesides the lUike and iMiehess crown prince, who plans tour of world. Building Now Assured Ten Thousand Dollars Subscribed and Plans Under Way Building to Be Erected in Time for Exhibit This Fall With $10,000 already subscribed for a fruit fair building, there Is every In dication that the structure will lie erected 'tills year In time to bouse the exhibit of fruit which Is expected to be the largest in the history of the valley. The effort to secure a building this year was brought ton climax last Thursday when a committee con sisting of W. L.Clark, (has. Hall, Truman Butler, E. O. Hlanchar and Sheriff Lou Morse went among the business men and secured $.1,000 In a few hours. Four thousand dollars had already been subscribed by the country residents, and It wns stated by P, A. Davidson, C. I). Thompson and (J. It. Cortner, the committee who bad the valley end of the fund in charge, that they would raise enough more to Insure the erection of the building if the city people would subscribe $3,000. The sub scriptions were limited to $100 each aud subscribers will receive shares of stock In the building. The object of both the town and city committees in taking such prompt action Is In the fact thut they believe with many residents that a permauent home for the fruit fair has got to that stage where it Is a necessity and something that will be of the greatest benefit to the city and valley. The amount It Is expected to raise at iesent Is $15,000, which it is stated will per mit of putting up a building that will answer the purpose lu a central part of the city. After the subscrlp- It now "as through a glass darkly." The advocates of equal rights for women, who In Oregon are over 50, 000 strong, aud have so put them selves ou record lu all sorts of wo men's associations by appropriate resolutions, take do stock in the at tempts of men or women to adopt sumptuary laws to govern men. What we ask, with a serene belief that men will proudly acquiesce with their affirmative votes at the coming November election, is free dom before the law for the mothers of men, which In time will enable them to endow the sons of women with lietter conditions than now cause so many brilliant men to rue the day that made them fathers of children who do them no credit. I write as n grandmother, who, as a mother, was In active work In side a happy home, for nearly a quarter of a century, as wife and mother, before the world had heard of her at all. I have been for forty years a public advocate of a return to God's law, from which men of Col. Watterson's stamp departed when through human laws they put asunder the equal legal relations be tween the sexes after the Almighty Power which made them "male and female" had given to "them", and not to him or her, "dominion" over over everything In and on the earth, except each other. A mo All. Scott Di niway. Busy Readers tlons are all In, It is expected to call a meeting of the stocknoldcrs and al low them to vote on a site for the building, although ground for It was bought near the garage, at First and State streets. This site fronts on State, with an ell on First, and will give a big space for the building, cen trally located. The matter of select ing the site, however, will be left to the stockholders, and If they decide by majority vote to have It erected elsewhere In the center of town. It Is expected that this will be satisfac tory to all coocerned. In connection with using the build ing for a fruit fair, It Is suggested that after the fair Is over It be fitted up temporarily for a theatre until such time as a more satisfactory building can be put up, and In this way It will bring la an added rev enue. The matter will be pushed along as rapidly as possible, and It Is said by architects that If It Is taken up at once that the building can be ready for the fair this year. Now that the project Is under way, a good deal of enthusiasm Is being shown and rest dents generally are looking forward to the most successful fruit fair ever held here.
