Mr. Stelabardt la well known here and bin firm haa done much to make Hood Illver applea tanioim. The article la given In part herewith: They call Joaeph H. Stelnhardt of New York the "Apple King." For aeveral years In aucceaMlon be baa purehuMed tbe entire crop of the Hood Illver Valley of Oregon, through the Apple Orowera Union. Recently he baa become the chief buyer In tbe Bit ter Hoot region of Montana, wblcb la perhapa the second apple region In Importance In the United States From forty to one hundred carloada of applea are continually rolling to ward hla New York warebouaea. Not only doea bla Arm purchaae more ap plea annually than any other alugle bonne In the bualneaa, but It buya outright, accepting nothing on con signment. "We do not buy applea bo much aa personalities," la Mr. Stelnhardt'a de claration. "We atudy the grower. We bane our purchases on what we know of him." No olllce boy la permitted to sift his callers. Tbe door la alwaya open aud the man who baa bualneaa can walk right In. The one thing that be la really proud of la that the first man who ever bought an apple from him la atlll hla customer. He attacbea more Importance to that tbau to bla achievement last year, when be reached Hood Illver on a noon train, took lunch, bought a million dollars' worth of applea, and took tbe four o'clock train back east. He reached New York from Ger- many, via ateerage, w hen be was 13 years old. He bad that excellent rudimentary education which Ger many gives lis children, but be did not know a single word of the Eng lish language. It was good luck that secured for hltu a job as night copy boy on the New Y'ork World, because conversa tion plajed no part In bla duties. All he bad to do was to Jump when some one at the desk ahouted "copy." For the year be held that place be man aged to attend school every day, al though he did not quit work until two o'clock In tbe morning. Then he bad a streak of bard luck. An Ir ritated copy reader fired him. He discovered that one could buy applea three for a cent, and sell them two for a cent. He celebrated bta 17th birthday by discarding hla bas ket for u push cart. Two years later In 1sn, be found that Illchard Kelly bad become a dangeroua competitor Hla lega were aa tireless, hla voice aa loud, and hla Idea of a bargain aa keen aa Stelnhardt'a own. Tbe ob vious thing to do waa to form a partnership. Ten years later two pushcarts bad made them money, they had saved It, and had establish ed credit wherever they were known So they rented a store nnd had a sign painted and then their great business expanslou legan. THINK BRANDED APPLES WILL BECOME POPULAR A big, red-cheeked Jonathan apple with the familiar letters, "O.-VV. It. & N. Co." cast on one side la tbe novel ty received receutly by J. I). Farrell, president of the company, from Mra. V. M. Persona of North Yakima, Wash , an enthusiastic orchardlst of that city. Mrs. Persons believes that tbe Idea of growing tbe trademark of the railroad or of a business on the sldea of red apples wouhl l effective aa an advertising medium. This result Is obtained by covering that portion of the apple that la to bear the design with thin black paper of the design desired Just before It begins to color. Tbe covered portion remains white. After It ripens the paper la removed leaving the white letters In the body of red.

HARVESTS SECOND STRAWBERRY CROP A novel plan for producing two crops of strawberries on bla vtnea each year baa been developed by M P. Orlgga, a farmer living near Al bany. Oregon. Mr. ISriggs baa a quarter of an acre In strawberries, and picked an unusually large crop last June. He then mowed down the vine covered the patch with straw and set It on fire. The vines were burned off ao that the field waa en tlrely bare. New vines came up soon and rap Idly blossomed out, and Mr. lirlgga la now picking bla second crop, which la two-thirds as large aa bla big crop In June. In many strawberry gardens near Albany and Id some of tbe big mar ket gardens along tbe San tiara river at Lebanon second crops of straw berrlea were picked this year. This condition waa largely due to tbe unusual rains In August and Septem ber, and many growers are planning to make arrangements to Irrigate their gardens for a second crop next summer. WILL LECTURE ON ROME IN THE VALLEY TOWNS Professor R. H. Baldwin of New York, who baa been spending the summer In the valley, haa arranged for a series of lectures and musical entertainments to be held at Barrett, Pine Grove, Odell and Parkdale. Dur ing hla residence abroad tbe lecturer spent some time In Home and secured a series of views which will be used to Illustrate the lecture. Many of the slides are In colors and are said to be of great beauty. That Mr. Baldwin la competent to treat the subject In an Interesting manner la In dicated by the fact that he received bla education at Yale University, Lelpslg and Oxford. He will be as sisted by Prof. Arthur J. Harmon, violinist and mandollnlst, Karl J. Gardner, of Eugene, Ore., soloist, and Mra. Young of Odell, accompanist. Tbe dates for tbe entertainments are aa follows: Pine Grove, Friday, October 25; M. E. Church, Barrett, Tuesday, October 29; Odd Fellows Hall, Odell. Thursday, October 31, and Grange Hall, Parkdale, Friday, November 8. WHITE SALMON (Fora the Enterprise) Dr. Rusaell bad three births In 12 hours on the night of the 13th and waa on tbe jump between Husum, Blngen and Underwood. At the former place a girl waa born to Mr and Mra. B. Hottman; at Under wood H. F. Massey and wife arehap- py over a girl. George M. Donohue, who recently arrived with bla family from San Francisco, haa bought tbe store of E. Brayford beyond the Washington hotel on Main street. Mr. BrayfoTd and wife will leave shortly for Eng land to make their permanent home. Both were born In that country, Mr. Brayford coming out several years ago. He came to this place from Hood Illver, where he had a grocery store on the Heights. The D. P. & A. N. boats. Bailey Gatcert and Dalles City, and the Open Illver boats. Teal and Tahoma, are now In direct competition with each other, the Bailey after the Teal and the Dalles City after the Taho ma. Both tbe D. 1. & A. N. boats have leen scheduled on the same days aa the Independent boats. The Ball ley now carries freight aa well as passengers. Another meeting Is eoon to be held in Portland to con sider the matter of thla competition whereby the railway-owned boats are said to be attemplng to get con trol of the river business. October 30 and 31 are the dates set by the Woman's Club of this place for Its fruit, vegetable and fancy work fair. The ladles have taken hold of the matter of a fair, and while It cannot be made as complete aa the fair the Commercial Club had In mind, there Is no reason why a most attractive exhibit cannot te made. There nre some excellent ap plea In the community, and If the growera will bring them In the peo ple will Iks surprised at tbe showing which thla White Salmon fruit dis trict can make. The name proposed now for the new county Is "Warlyn," It Is eu phonious and would give honor to two of the earliest settlers of the west end. I-et lilngen name the county, but White Salmon Is near enough for the county seat. It Is only a matter of a short time when the two towns will Ih united any way. A Woman's Beauty Depends very much upon the ap pearance of her hair. I am prepared to make combings up to your order and to furnish switches, puffs and curls made of genuine human cut hair In any shade desired. The DraKg Mercantile Co. will lie pleaded to show them and give prices. Mrs. Eva Woodbnrn-, phone 1H4-M. PLANS FOR GARBAGE INCINERATOR MADE Since the dumping of garbage north of the depot has been stopped quan tities of refuse have been disposed of west of town and complaints have been numerous of late aa to tbe un sanitary and offensive conditions, especially when the wind la from the west. With the growth of the city the matter of disposing of the garb age and thus safeguarding tbe public health baa become a question of first Importance. In view of the conditions the city council haa ordered City Engineer Morse to prepare working plana for the construction of an Incinerator. A number of trips have been taken to Portland to atudy the plant in operation there and plans for tbe lo cal luclnerator are nearly complete. It la patterned after the one In Port land. Tbe furnace would be ao con structed that a forced draught would burn all garbage without additional fuel except to start the fire. The belgbtb of the chimney would be suf ficient so that all odors would be en tirely consumed and no objectionable features would remain.
