under tha Act of March S. 187.
The Cause of Success
Speaking of the success of the
western apple over that grown
in the east the Oregonian says:
"The apple crop in some sec
tions of the middle west is a
failure. This is notably true in
Kansas the freak state, where
the yield of the soil is either
phenominally large, swamping
all transportation facilities, or
discouragingly meager.
"In Illinois it is said that the
apple crop is larger than usual,
but, it is added, there is no mar
ket for the product, except at
prices that will not pay for pick
ing and shipping. This at first
thought, is astounding, if true,
for with a short crop of apples
in states immediately west of the
Missouri river, and the great cit
ies of Chicago, St Louis and
Kansas City in the market blt
of the Mississippi valley to be
supplied, it would seem that a
large apple yield in Illinois would
mean substantial profits to or
chardists. 'The trouble, no doubt, is in
the quality of the apples grown.
Comparatively speaking, growers
do not raise apples there. That
is to say, the scientific principles
of apple growing have not been
applied to the orchards of the
eastern valley of the Mississippi.
lhe gnarled trees in many or
chard tracts have fought for
their lives, unaided by the farm
er, for years against the bitter
winters and summer droughts of
that region; in their neglected
condition they bear but gnarly,
crabbed fruit. Pruning, as known
to the horticulturist of the. Paci
fic northwest, is unknown there;
spraying is too much trouble to
the farmer who depends for the
returns from his labors upon the
corn crop. The apple crop is not
the crop sought for by these
fanners. Com, pork and wheat
and dairy products they can de
pend upon and time is not wast
ed on apples.
"Again, those eastern farmers
have not learned, and, indeed,
have not had the incentive to
learn how to 'put up a fancy
Eack of apples such as carries
uyers off their feet,' so to
speak, with eagerness to buy,
and makes the mouths water of
the dwellers of New York, to the
tune of 25 cents per apple
cheerfully paid. This art was
developed upon the Pacific
coast, primarily at Hood River,
though every apple growing sec
tion of Oregon and Washington
now sends the 'fancy pack in
carload lots to eastern markets.
"For these reasons apple grow
ing pays and will continue to pay
in the Pacific northwest. First,
we have a climate in which highly
cultivated and hence susceptible
orchard trees do not winter kill.
Next, we have methods of culti
vating, pruning, spraying thin
ning, picking and packing, re
duced each in its line to a science.
Dominating all is the enthusiasm
that these methods and their re
sults in fine, sightly and tooth
some fruit and in sudden for
tunes has developed."
Railroad Rates
An interesting turn in the con
tinual warfare going on between
the railroads and the public in
regard to rates has just develop
ed itself through the employes of
the railroads, who have taken
action supporting the latter. We
do not believe the railroads are
very near the verge of bank
ruptcy, but it would seem that
the long fight is resulting in
some reaction in their favor. A
recent editorial in the New York
Sun presents this side of the con
troversy by saying:
'The investing public, which
owns the securities of the rail
roads, although more than a mil
lion strong and having the sym
pathetic Bupport of business men
generally, has not been Btrong
enough to secure in all cases fair
play for the railroads. The
doubt entertained concerning the
value of railway securities is suf
ficient proof that the government
is not under control of the own
ers of the railways.
"Now enters a third influence
to demand fair plav for the rail
ways, namely, the employes of
the railways. The great railway
brotherhoods, through their offi
cers. have Drepared a memona
callintr attention to the fact that.
while everything the railway has
to buy labor and material has
cone ud in price, tne oniy mine
they sell transportation has
gone down, and that this process
cannot go on indefinitely without
menacing railway wages. Wil
the brotherhoods be able to do
what the railway managers and
railway owners have been unable
to do-that is. guarantee fair
treatment to the railways when
rate orders are being made?
Car Shortage and Storage
The shortage of cars is proving
a serious matter to. growers and
also to shippers. In many in
stances growers have no place to
store their large crops of fruit
and they have had to be left out
of doors. This is the first year
that car shortage has been
.win i 1
serious at Hooa iiver ana aiso
the first year that has demon
strated that more storage ca
pacity is necessary. While a
more plentiful supply of cars
would have helped the situation
very materially this year, it is
very apparent that even with
sufficient cars it will be necessary
to provide much greater facilities
for shipment in the near tuture
Old Timer's Dream ComesTrue
The day of bronc's and IuikkU'h
And the four borne rocklnn ntfie
Have given way to steel rail
Across the plains of sane.
Jim Mill has Mown the trumpet
A inlgbty powerful blast
And the boys In Eastern Oregon
Can ride the rail at last.
For years we've used the buggy
Behind a white-eyed skate,
With sixty miles between towns
And the hours a growing late.
We've made the I'rlnevllle country,
Have drlv to Bend and Burns
Across the alkali deserts.
Making all the twists and turns.
We have drlv It lu the Whiter
When the snow was two foot deep,
When the chill blood In our bodies
Refused to flow or creep.
We have drlv' It In the Summer
When the sun was burning hot.
When the sage brush was sizzling
And the horses wouldn't trot.
We have made the town of Harney
In the valley of that name.
Have drlv' from Vale to Shnulko
For orders not for fame.
We have driven over mountains
And along the Old Deschutes,
Have made the town of Rosalind
Beyond the Lava Buttes,
But the time Is coming. Brothers,
When we'll hear the whistles shriek,
And we'll make a town In two hours
When It used to take a week,
For Jim Hill Is building railroads
All o'er that fertile land,
And towns amongst the sage brush
Will grow to beat the band.
We will make It on the cushions
At forty miles an hour
Instead of In a buggy
With only two horse power.
So now, all you old timers,
Who have driven this stite for years,
Stop and say you're thankful
And shed some joyful tears.
For the stage and buggy's fading
Into the dimming past
And we can all ride In steam trains
Through Oregon at last.

Portland attorney, spoke here lust
Friday night In place of John Man

Congress. Mr. McAllister did not
have a large audience but his address
was highly enjoyed by those who
heard It. It was along the lines of
political economy rather than a

I have laughed with the one who were

And wept with the one who were sad.
One thing I have learned In my Journey-
Ne'er to judge one by what he appear.
The eye that seem sparkling with laugh

Oft battle to keep back the tears.

Hide often the souls that are vllt,
While the heart which Is merry and cheer
