STEINHARDT & KELLY ANSWERNEW YORKER la atiHwer to a query toStelnhardt & Kelly In reKard to the Hood Klver apple tbe Kural New Yorker, which Im a Btauoch supporter of the eastern apple putllnhed the following: "It U the rotten apple In the box, the painted knothole In the board, the muHty streak lo the butter or bacon which will decide the price of the second packaKe of food you try to sell to a private customer. Most people will forKet to praise the good specimens If they think you are try. ng to deceive thetn with a cull. Most of us have heard of the fine packing of the I'aclBc coast fruit. Are there no culls In these packages? Interested In this matter, we wrote the firm .of Stelnhardt & Kelly, who for some years have baud led apples from tbe farmers of the Hood K'ver region. Their answer follows, and It Is worth tbe attention of any fruit grower." Kural New Yorker. "Flrt you would like to know if the packing of the Hood Klver apples Is so perfect that we accept, them without close Investigation. Not only do we accept them without close Investigation, but we accept them without any Investigation whatever, leaving the entire matter up to tbe Hood Klver Apple Growers Union, a body of men with about nine directors under whose personal supervision all tbe fruit is packed and shipped to market. Our dealings with these men for the last three years, during which time we have purchased their crop, have always U-en of such a straight and upright character that we have never had occasion or cause to doubt their packing, and we have never been disappointed In our business dealings with them. "Our contract with the Hood Klver Apple Growers' Union, as represent ed by their board of directors, Is cer tainly a very stringent one, they guaranteeing us a perfect pack and also guaranteeing that every apple In every box Is absolutely perfect. We have handled several hundred thousand boxes, and never have we found ourselves In condition to make a single complaint against their pack. It Is as near perfect as human Ingenuity and honesty of endeavor can make It; In fact, we shall be lad to have you drop la our place of bus iness at any time and take a box of fruit from auy heap, and you will ttud that every box Is practically Identical, and that every apple Is ab solutely perfect, whether you open the top. bottom or side of any pack age. This Is more than we have IsH-n able to say for any large pack of fruit we have ever contracted for. "Referring to your second question. The very ls-st fruit from the Hood Klver country Is purchased by us on f. o. b. busls. Hood Klver, and al though of course the prices are not exactly public property, still we may tell you that they average some where around 1 2" a box there. Of course you understand that a box of fruit will cost us a great deal more, as the freight from Hood River to New York Is on an average of tiu cents a box. Regarding your questloti whether It were possible for a nunitwr of Individuals who are not connected with this association to do business on the same plan as that of tbe uHsoclatlon, suffice It to say that If you can get a number of hon est, men who are also good business men together, they could do Just as well as the Hood Klver Apple Grow ers' Union. "Regarding your endeavor to eu- courage eastern fruitgrowers to put up a package as good as that of the west, suffice It to say that this could tw done Just ns well In the cast as In the west If you can get enough, as we stated before, honest men who will pack honestly. The whole thing In a nutshell Is simply and purely a business proportion. You no doubt know that the eastern barrel pack, to say the least, leaves a great deal to le desired. You know that there are munlly three or four good tiers on top anil the rest is a lot of Inferior goods. This Is the reason why the public Is now turning toward the box apple to take the place of the barrel and It Is the writer's personal opinion that It will only be a few years when the barrel apple will Ih practically out of use for the letter class of trade, owing to no other reason than dishonest methods em ployed In packing. "The entire matter Is simply one of honesty and quality. Fruit can be had Just as good In the east as In the west, and we see no reason why the pastern grower can't get Just ns much for his goods as the western grower If be will make up his mind to one absolute fact, and that Is that he has got to It honest, and that If he thinks he can fool the ix'o- ple all tbe time by putting up a fake barrel ol apples ne is making a nig mistake. ;striniuuit kki.i.y.

MASON AROUSES SELLING'S ANGER According to the Portland papers A. I. MasoD, who baa been In Salem for nouie time lobbying In connection with the good roads bill, had a warm time when be was allowed the privileges of the floor of tbe senate for an address. The action of the obstructionist aroused the Ire of President Selling, and Tbe Telegram say a that he took the floor and sailed Into Lobbyist Mason, who had been given the courtesy of tha floor and bad used bis opportunity to attack Senator Barrett, of Uma tilla, and to voice bis suspicion of county courts as bot-beds of politics. President Selling aald he was tired of these obstructionists to road leg islation. Also he was becoming In censed at the repeated statements of couuty lobbyists that they have no confidence la the couuty courts and that all county courts are filled with grafters and politician. Selling turned on Mason and assured him that Oregon Is full of honest, upright men and that, If the farmers are sus picious of their courts, they should remember that they elected them and that If they are afraid of their courts, they can easily anlect and elect hon est men to take their places. There are several men, each claim ing to represent the Grange or Farm ers' Union, and each has his own ideas on tbe kind of road legislation that should be enacted. These peo ple apparently cannot settle on any thing among themselves and they refuse to accept the Webster road bills, prepared by the Oregon Good Roads Association. It Is feared that the opposition to the bill will result In no legislation for good roads If continued. STANDING TIMBER BURNED OVER 700,000,000 FEET Reports based on detailed field ex aminations made by National For est officers, of the lands burned over lathe forest fires of last summer In Washington aud Oregon, which havs baen received by the U. S. De partment of Agrleultuge, show that the National Forest tlmler loss In these states Is about 700,000,000 feet. This Is somewhat less than was In dicated by the provisional estimates made shortly after the fires. The re ports also show the Importance, as a means of protecting the forests against fires, of the efforts which are being made by the department to open new range to stockmen. Of the National Forests In Wash ington and Oregon, that on which the fires extended over the greatest area was the tolvllle. with 100,000 acres burned.
