If the ineuHure an drafted U enacted. It will operate greatly to the dlHndvantnge of the apple indiiHtry. The Hhlppern' nnto clatloti haw lMHiied the following com munication on the Huhject: "(Jrowern and dlxtrlltutora of ap ple miiHt lie active to their Interest. "The primary purporte of the hill whh evidently to regulate the Htorage of beef, veal, pork, sheep, lamliH, poultry, game, Huh, egg and butter and their products. .Such language, however, wuh iiNed In framing the bill that there I no question but that apples fall clearly within. Its pro vIhIoiim. "Section 2 After provldlngdeflnlte terms of Htorage for the products named above, thefe words are used: Or any nrtlcle of food which, having been held In cold storage for any per iod of time, has been removed there from or returned again to cold Htor age shall lie deemed to be adulterated within the meaning of this act.' "Section 3 .No food product, hav ing been once placed In cold storage and removed therefrom shall again be placed In cold storage. "Section ') That the term cold storage shall be construed to mean the deposit of food products In warehouses, buildings or other receptacle where for a longer period than ten days the temperature Is urtlliclally kept at 40 degrees Fahren heit or below, except when the prod ucts are actually In transit and have not previous to such transit leen In cold storage. "I'nder these provisions, apples from cold storage must go directly on the market without regard to weather or other conditions. Apples placed In cold storage in producing centers, whether In Oregon, C'allfor- nla, Washington, Colorado, New- York or New Kngland, cannot again lie placed In storage at ultimate des tination even to save them from to tal waste and destruction. Cars or- lered out from the Northwest, or from the Fast going West, must take their chances of lindlng a suitable market and weather upon their nr- rlval after many days. These con ditions cannot be formn. Shipments to the South out of cold storage can not be protected by refrigeration up on arrival. 'Tuder the definition of 'Cold Stor age' employed In Section 5, even the use of Ice boxes in distributing houses would be barred, for they are a 're ceptacle' where the temperature Is 'artificially kept at 40 degrees Fah renheit or liclow' for a period longer than ten days, viz., throughout the season. In other words stack your cold storage boxes and pile your cold storage barrels In a warm store, and, on a glutted market, or during a warm wave, wntch them go down. "Primary distribution Is also a ser ious element Involved. Apples fur cold storage are put In as soon as possible after packing. Future mark ets cannot be forseen. The season for picking and packing and storing is short. Production Is large. At the present time this fruit can lie placed In any storage available am with only a general regard for future distribution. Denied the right to re store when necessary to protect your fruit from decay and your Investment from loss, and It will lie necessary to seriously consider the point of prl mary storage. Shifting the points of primary storage will In many In stances cause your fruit to go Into refrigeration In a weaker condition than It now does, and may ulti niately add to the expense not only In shrinkage, but in freight rates The result will be too little storage at some points and too much at others. "t urthermore it would nppear from section 5 that cold storage ap ples which were In transit In a refrig erator car for a period longer than ten days, If by some rare chance the temperature In the car were 40 de. grees or under, would be deemed adulterated. Von will note that the exception reads: 'Kxcept when the products are actually In transit and have not previous to such transit lieen in cold storage. How about shipments from Washington, Oregon, etc.? While all of these conditions are not of usual occurrence, yet they open the door to needless trouble, dispute and litigation. "Section 3 also provides that any article of food which has lieen In cold storage and which falls to beur a la bel stating the date of production, killing, packing or manufacturing and the period of time during which the article has been held In cold stor age, shall be deemed mis-branded. "Section 4 Every person who places any food product In a package or container bearing a false or fraud ulent statement as to the quantity, quality or character of the contents thereof or causes or allows to be placed any fraudulent brand mark or statement upon said pack age or container, shall be deemed guilty of mis-branding. "With reference to section 3, there Is no objection to stating fully when apples go Into cold storage and come out. They are advertised as from cold storage. No accusation has ever been made against 'new laid' Missouri Hen Iavls in January or 'strictly fresh' Spitz In February, or 'fresh killed' New York Baldwins In March. The apple denl Is closed up every year. 1 here are uo 'hang ov ers.' These facts are known. Why, therefore, should growers aud dis tributors be placed under the extra expense of placing lubels on every box and barrel of apples In cold storage? "Section 4 relating to false state ments as to quality and character, opens a beautiful field for litigation. Marks Indicating quality and char acter are like the sands of the sea In nnmlier." JUDGE CLEETON VIEWS HOOD RIVERROADWAY County Judge Cleeton and Commis sioners Light ner and Hart recently made n two days' trip Inspecting roads In the eastern part of Multno mah county. They gave special at tention to the new Hood Illver road, which Is living built. They are well pl-.'ased with t he way It Is going, and say that It has been graded from I.n Tonrelle Falls to one mile above Itrl dal Veil. The road will be completed thisseason as far ns Multnomah Falls. This road will open up a route from eastern Oregon to Portland. It will also lie one of the greatest scenic routes lu the country. The counly court of Hood Klver county Is opening I he road In this county. The local oflielals made the trip In an automobile. They went down the llridal Veil hill, w hlch Is consid ered one of the steepest In the state for automobiles. When half way down they had to stop at a spring ami pour water on the brake, as It was so hot from use. Beautiful West Side Home Offered at a sacrifice.

BUYER IS LIABLE FORREAL TAXES An Interesting opinion wns given out by Attorney Crawford In answer to a question nsked him by It. F. Mulkey, district attorney of Jackson ville, concerning responsibility for the payment of taxes on real and personal property transferred after assessment and prior to the tax levy. The attorney general takes the stand that in tlie case of personal property the owner at the time of assessment I personally liable for the taxes, as personal property taxes do not con stitute a lien upon the property, but are held as a Judgment against the owner. In the case of real property, however, the one to whom the prop erty Is transferred Is liable for the taxes, as they , are a lien against the property. Deafness Cannot Be Cured Ity local applications, ns they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, nad that Is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness Is caased by nn Inflamed condition of the mu cous lining of the Eustachian. Tulie When this tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hear ing, and w hen It Is entirely closed, deafness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mu cous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars fornny case of deaf ness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J.

Tucker, whose papers of retire ment were among the last signed by ex-President Koosevelt, and whose rank was then that of Chief Paymas terofthe Lakes IVpartment of the I'nlted States Army, the l.'pper Hood Klver Valley will have an Army and Navy colony within a. few years. He says that since he has lieen there on his ranch of HO acres he has had nu merous visits from fellow officers In the Army and Navy, who have been greatly Impressed with the beautiful scenery. Several who will soon re tire have expressed an Intention of Joining htm. Colouel Tucker, who Is well known In Portland, where for several years he held the position of Chief Paymas ter for the Iepartment of the Colura blu, held the same rank In the Philip pine Islands at the time of the Gov ernorship of President Taft. While there he liecame affected with a cir rhosis of the liver, which ultimately led to his retirement to private life. When he enme to the Hood Klver Valley he was In a low state of health. However, after six months of out-of-door exercise In the bracing atmosphere at the foot of Mount Hood, he Is regaining the old-time robust form. Mrs. Tucker, who formerly was at the head of the United States Depart ment of Domestic Science In the Phil ippines, has become enthusiastic over rnuch life. She says that she has fallen In love with her chickens, and devotes most of her time to them. She Is now busily engaged raising a half dozen broods of chicks. The home of Colonel and Mrs. Tucker is In the heart of their wilder ness ranch, which they are beginning to clear for orchards. They have named It Corregldor, after the old fortification guarding the entrance of Manila harbor. Their home Is a rustic log structure. However, Its small, plain rooms contain a wonder ful collection of Oriental tapestries, brasses and teakwood furniture. In a clearing below the house a tall fir tree has leen left standing, on which Colonel Tucker plans to place hal yards to hoist a large American flag. Portland Oregonian.
