In this connection, "The Rec ord of Progress Made by Pacific Coast Cities as Told by Their Commercial Statistics" is the headline over a table of interest ing figures in the February issue of the Pacific Northwest Com merce, the official journal of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. It shows just what has been done by Los Angeles, Oakland, Port land, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle. Spokane and Tacoma, which cities are allied in the As sociated Chamber of Commerce of the Pacific Coast. Their rec ords for 1907 and 1910 are given in figures where all cities meet on a common ground. All ex hibit a healthy condition. The magazine also contains an inter esting resume of the results achieved by the leading commer cial organizations active in the state of Washington. Selling Apples The object of the meeting of fruitgrowers recently held in Portland namely, to organize a central apple selling association is a laudable one, and a close organization of the various dis tricts affected would no doubt be leneficial. The association, as we understand it, is to be organ ized along the lines of the big citrus fruit-handling association in California, which controls the output of oranges. The latter is successfully handling the mar kets for this fruit, but it must be borne in mind that there are only two districts in the United States in which it is possible to grow oranges, California and Florida, and that the fruit of these two districts does not come into strong competition. The territory for growing ap ples is practically unlimited, and in variety they differ as the sun from the night A cheap apple and an inferior keeper could not be expected to be lumped in a pot with that of a high-priced and long-keeping variety. The orange is sold largely according to its size and freedom from blemish it is simply an orange. As far as color and flavor go, there is scarcely any preference left the buyer. An attempt to establish a scale on prices for the different varieties of apples for the different districts would fail, for no district would be wil ling to admit that its fruit was inferior to any other. Into this contention would also come the claim of superior pack, grading, etc. A strong organization for covering many points in the mar keting of apples would help a lot, but we doubt if an association of this kind can be formed that will successfully market the apple crop, aside from the possibility of controlling its outpnt. The problem of prices will have to be solved otherwise. NORTHWEST NOTES Publicity Appropriation A hundred thousand dollars for publicity that's what Presi dent L. W. Hill, of th? Great Northern Railway, wants the state of Washington to appropri-1 ate. He points to the liberal ex- j penditures of the Ca radian prov- inces for printers' ink, as aj result of which they are recruit ing many new settlers from the United States. By judicious ad vertising, President Hill is con fident Washington can play an important part in stemming the tide and keeping American citi zens under the Stars and Stripes. All the railroads are spending large sums of money to attract settlers to the Northwest. The Evergreen state's population more than doubled in the last A Lebanon woman is making chickens pay. During last year her 56 hens laid 4S04 eggs. One of her pullets laid 220 eggs and another 257. Her total net profit for the year from the flock of chickens was $154.80 and she has 40 hens left. The very wide extent of the work of the Oregon Agricultural College is shown in the report just submitted by President Kerr, touching the activity of the col lege during the two-year period of 1908-1910. He shows that during the past biennium, more than 88,000 persons have actually participated in the work carried on by the college or under its di rection. Many thousands more have been supplied with bulletins issued by the college, circulars and personal correspondence This shows what a great factor this institution is in advancing the agricultural, horticultural and livestock interests of the state. The Portland Commercial Club, representing the Oregon Devel opment League, prepared and forwarded during the past week a memorial to the secretary of the interior, asking for the re consideration of his action in de ferring apportionment of availa ble reclamation funds for the West Uuit of the Umatilla Tri gation Project. The memorial contains a comprehensive argu ment covering the facts of the case and was forwarded to the Oregon delegation in both houses of Congress for presentation by them to Secretary Ballinger of the Department of the Interior. Friends of the Oregon State Horticultural Society are urging the passage of a bill now pend ing before the legislature, asking for the appropriation of $5000 every two years for necessary expenses of the society, such as prizes for exhibits made at the annual show, services of exhibits committee, judges, salary of sec retary, printing, postage, etc. It is pointed out in the argu ments advanced for the bill that decade.

Fruit growers of the Pacific i Northwest met in Portland dur- Prosperity for Northwest ling the past week toattempt to That eastern capital is casting; form a central selling agency for fond glances at the Northwest is the message brought from New York by M. J. Morton, one of the foremost advertising men of Gotham. With the settling of money markets, Mr. Morton de clares there are large sums look ing for investment. Through the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Expo sition, the Northwest made it self favorably known, so that re sults can be looked for in the near future. Mr. Morton pre dicts an era of prosperity for the whole Pacific coast and he looks for this section to get the benefit! the output of their orchards. The project was not entirely successfull, for the convention found itself without the neces sary authority to represent the fruit growing associations of the Northwest, the growers coming as individuals rather than official representatives of these organi zations. On this account, ad journment was taken until Feb ruary 28, when a second meeting will be held at Walla Walla. At that time each fruit growers' as sociation is expected to send one authorized delegate, and the con vention, thus having power to act, may proceed with the organ ization. At the Portland meet ing, which was called by Presi dent Atwell of the Oregon State Horticultural Society, consider able progress was made, for all agreed to the value of the pro posed organization, and a num ber of disputed points will be harmonized by the time the Wal la Walla meeting is held.
