To make this Innovation more leneflclal, the club distributed several thousand pieces of Hood River literature. The literature wun distributed from u booth by Mrs. K. ('. Smith and Mrs. A.J.Derby. K. ('. Smith, one of the directors of the club, kept a supervising eye on the dint rlbutlon of the fruit. It U Htuted by Mr. Smith that the nppleH were sent to every state In the I tilted state1, all parts of Canada and to almoHt every country on the glolie. In telling about the distribution a Cortland paper says: "The nppleH were distributed fne In neat packages, containing one apple each, at Olds, Worttuan & king's big "tore, all ready for stamp ing Hnd mailing. There were plenty of taker, and from early morning until late In the afternoon an Im meiitte throng crowded around the distribution tables, anxious to He- cure the neat little packages to mall to friends In the east. "It was conceded to have been one of the greatest advertising stunts ever put Into effect In Oregon. A. Holti, a member of the firm In charge of the ml vcrtbdng for the big store, Is responsible for the Idea. He sug- gested It to Jack Robinson, who turned It over to the Commercial Club and I'resldeut ('has. Hall, and the latter put it Into execution. "A deal was made with the club whereby that organization would furnish MOO boxeH of the beat Spltzen liergs to be had, providing Olds, Wortman & King would superintend their distribution. The apples ar rived In the cty Saturday and 25 young women were engaged In pack ing them all day Sunday and Mon day. 1'iiHteboard boxen were pro vided large enough to hold one apple. Kach apple wan wrapped In a sheet of wadding and placed In a box con taining a sheet of advertising matter setting forth the many attractions of the Hood Klver district. "A large table wan arranged on the first tloor of the big store, where the fruit was distributed, weighed and Htamped for mailing. All that was required of the parties accepting the apples wan to purchase the stamps necessary for carrying them to their destination. "Many of the people mailed their own packages, but large numlers left them at the store to le delivered later at the postotlice. Before the closing hour there wax a pile of ap ples all ready for mailing, which had been left at the store, feet In dl ameter and six feet high. It required several thousand dollars In stamps to carry the apples through the malls." Senator Chamberlain Defines His Position Says He Is An Insurgent and Eulogizes La Follette and Cummins Oregon Not Fool of The Family as flany Suppose, He Remarks Senator !eo. K.Cbnmlerlaln closed the campaign at Hood Klver Mon day night by addressing a large aud ience at the Commercial Club. He wan Introduced to Ills audience by County Judge A. J. Derby. The sen ator discussed national politics to great length, Dually getting down to the situation In Oregon ami strongly advocating the election of West, Mantling and a non -political Judici ary, lie denied an alliance with Bourne but not In very strong terms. Senator Chamberlain admitted his non partisan attitude In political af fairs and ho evidently lined up with I, a Collet te, Cummins, Ueverldge and the insurgents. He devoted most of his talk In connection with state politics to asseinblylsm, claiming that It was not, as many supposed a dead Issue. The senator jut all conjecture ns to his position In the alignment of parties to rest liy proclaiming that he whs an Insurgent and took the pronounced stand of opposition to the election of John A. Dlx, Demo cratic candidate for the governorship of New York, because, as he said, the "Old (luard" or conservative clement VALLEY APPLE LAND BRINGS GOOD PRICES Several real estate snles of Interest during the week are reported by Nlchol llailhsk, the most Impor tant iH'Ing ten acres belonging to Dr. I',. T. Hull, In the Odell district. The tract disposed of Is the one on which Is situated the house and barn, and has six acres In eight-year-old trees from which 1 ,!MN boxes of apples werejtnken this year. The other four acres nre In three and four-year-old trees. The purchaser Is K. A. Moore, who has been connected with Chi cago's city engineering department for 1. years, and was In charge of street paving.

A sale also made by NW bol Had- of the Republican party were going to support blin In conjunction with Tammany Hall. "In this state," said Senator Chamberlain, "Oregon Is thought by many to be looked upon as the fool of the family by the other states of the union, but I want to tell you that this Idea Is a great mistake. Wherever I have been Oregon is pointed as leading the way to a sys tein of selecting public otflclals that Is the most Intelligent now lief on the eople." In speaking of future senators from this state, Mr. Chamberlain threw an anchor to windward for himself with a view, evidently, of keeping up his political fences. He said that In two years an attorney for the Hurrl man railroad Interests and a very rich man In Portland would be can didates for this otlice. On this ac count he pleaded that Bowerman and all other Republican candidates Ik? defeated regardless of the fact that they were nominated under the primary law. As usual he made n smooth ad dress. After the meeting he was In troduced to many of his audience.

Mr. Tooze had twenty minutes' no tice from Republican headquarters to come to Hood River, bnt never theless made a ringing speech In support of Republican principles and the state aud national ticket. He was preceded by A. A. Jayne, who made a short talk and introduced him. The veteran campaigner had not Uh'H here for fourteen years and was astonished at the growth of the city. He said that his last visit here was la lvi;, when he covered the state in behalf of McKlnley in the free silver luht.
