The Judge's Resignation ueorge u. cuiDertson has re signed his position as county judge. This he has done after having had the matter under consideration for several weeks. during which time he has been 'withholding his resignation pend ing the selection of a satisfactory successor. In another column of this paper Judge Culbertson re views the circumstances which led up to his resignation. Consideration of Judge Cul bertson's successor is now one of the live subjects of the day. Among the possible appointees who have been mentioned W. L. Clark appears to be receiving the most favorable consideration. The name of M. M. Hill, who is a Democrat and a former county commissioner, has also been pro posed, but Mr. Hill has stated positively that he would not ac cept the appointment. This elim inates his name from the running and every indication points to the appointment of Mr. Clark. Mr. Clark has received ' the unanimous support of the county court and also of a representa tive number of local business men who have signed the peti tion asking for his appointment He is peculiarly adapted for the position, being a civil engineer by profession and thus qualified in the matter of good road con struction. He has been associ ated with the county court for several years in county matters and is a man of great public spirit He is a director of the Commercial Club and a member of the committee which has been furthering the plans for the con struction of the Columbia River road. Mr. Clark is furthermore a conservative business man whose long residence in this county gives him a particular aptitude for the office which he has consented to accept in case Governor West sees fit to tender him the appointment New Light on the Production of Apples A severe jolt has been admin istered to those who have at . . i .i . .. . lemptea 10 snow mat there is going to be a great over-production of apples within the next few years. According to returns just given out by the Census Bureau, the production in 1909 was actually less than it was ten years before, 147,522,000 bushels having been produced in 1909 as compared to 175,397,000 in 1900, This is reassuring to the North west apple grower for it shows conclusively that although the apple production in this favored section of the United States may be destined to increase rapidly, the fast decreasing production in other sections less adapted to this industry should go far to wards offsetting the growth in the Northwest A further fact contained in the census report is that the produc tion of apples in the United States in 1910 was more than 33 per cent less than it was the preceding year. The 1909 cen sus showed that there were 201, 794,000 apple trees of bearing age at that time and only 151, -823,000 trees in 1910. This shows a remarkable decrease and clear ly indicates that, although the bearing trees in the Northwest may be on the increase, other sections of the country which have heretofore raised consider able apples are now digging up their trees and leaving this in dustry to be taken over by the ections which are more peculiar ly adapted to the raising of com mercial apples. This tendency is made the more significant by the fact that the census showed that even in 1910 Missouri, New York and Illinois together con tained 25 per cent of all the ap ple trees in the United States. The census figures are partic ularly interesting and extremely gratifying to the apple grower of the Northwest for they indicate beyond the possibility of a doubt that the future has everything in his favor if the same tendency continues through the present decade and there is every reason to believe that such will be the case. Commencement Time Commencement time is here and thousands of young men and women throughout the country are facing life from a new angle. With most of them the chief sig nificance of the event is that from now on thev must face a new responsibility that of seek ing out and equipping themselves for the part which they must play. It is that point in life at which ideals, if they have not already been formed, must be created. The occasion is neces sarily a serious one and a signi ficant fact is that however much advice may be meted out by friends and well-wishers it must, n the very nature of things, be imperative for each to chose for himself the course which he is to pursue. Here lies one ot the first requisites of success- selec tion of that vocation in which one can at once find the greatest pleasure and perform the great est service for others. This done and success to a very consider able extent depends upon tenac ity of purpose and perseverance in overcoming the obstacles as they present themselves this witb the assurance that the fu ture has only the best in store for those who labor cheerfully and with diligence to accomplish the task to which they have set their hands. When the first crate of Hood River berries to be shipped to Portland brings $10 it is by no means an empty honor.

AMATEUR THESPIANS SCORE A BIG HIT Those who participated In the two amateur plays presented by the La dle' Aid of the Valley Christian Church Wednesday evening need play second riddle to none when It comes to amateur acting. Hot I) of the plays were cleverly staged and both kept the audience amused and enter tained throughout. The opening play waa the farce "Lady Masons." This was partici pated In by a dozen good souls who believe that they have secured from their husbands all the secrets ot the Masonic rites and proceed to put them Into practice. Instead the Masonic ritual develops Into a round of giwslp, tu the course of which there are many amusing Incidents. On the programs the actors, with unnecessary modesty, assumed their maiden names as non de plumes. They were Mrs. F.lmer Hoyce, Mrs. Vida Bennett, Mrs. (ieorge Mcintosh. Mrs. Bertha Clymer, Mrs. Anna Stauffer, Mrs. Martelle llutchlns, Mrs Addle Zeek. Mrs. l.lllle Powell. Ivy Peterson, Mrs. Dr. Mills. Mrs. Kthel Miller and Mareella O'Brien. Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party." In which there were l. characters, was an amiiNing piny, well presented. which provided the large audience with much enjoyment. Mrs. W. W. Kodwell was Aunt Dinah to the life. Mrs. J. J. Gibbons as Grandma Pep per was one of the most effective characters. Mrs. Luther Mae Sween ey as Mirandy Sprlgglns gave a fine presentation of this character and her vocal selection was especially successful. Albert Bennett as Rob ert HuLter, the leading male charac ter, left nothing to be wished for. All the other parts were well taken by the following: Mrs. W. L Cauller. Mrs. E. J. Myers, Mrs. L E. Cays, Mrs. Hoy Smith. Mrs. B. E. Wright. Mrs; S. E. N'esblt, Elmer Sweaney, Edwin Cays, Ed Dresky aud Archie Cays. Mrs. J. A. Bennett, wife of the pas tor, drilled the actors In both plays and to her Is due a large part of the credit for their success.
