E. Smith & Son, recently. "That thous ands of Portland people will motor to Hood River and back on Sundays when this road is completed there can be no doubt. The drive will be free from dust, while the scenic beau ties of the route will appeal to every "With direct automobile connection visitor and tourist who makes the trip with Hood River there is no question that many Portland families will make their summer homes in the Hood Riv er Valley.

Thorn, a veteran New York dealer, who has spent the season in Pacific Northwest districts and whose operations extend over a period of forty yeurs. Mr. Thorn says that at present there are no more fancy boxed apples of large sizes in sight in this country than there was a year ago, and that by January 1 there will be less than there was at the beginning of 1912. He gives as one reason for this the practical failure of the bulk of the Colorado apple crop to reach the fan cy stage, because of extremely cold weather In September, stunting the, growth of the fruit and preventing its proper coloring. Another reason is the enormous consumption of apples that has already occurred and is now- continuing in all parts of the country. "The market started right this fall to encourage consumption," said Mr. Thorn. "Prices were low and they continue low. The result is that thou sands of loose carloads of the cheaper junk grown in the Hast and Middle West have gone into consumption, and the good work is still going on. In ail my experience I have seen nothing like it. Furthermore, I have never st en it fail that the lower prices go bt fore the holiday season, the higher they will go afterward, while if the up ward tendency becomes pronounced before Christmas, a corresponding slump occurs afterward. "For those who have the better class of apples, the obvious and sensi ble thing to do at this time Is to get them into cold storage, so that they will be in the best possible condition when the market improves later in the season, as it is practically certain to do. "It is true that some sales of boxed apples in the Eastern auctions have been disastrous, but that is plainly the result of too many associations and other selling agencies using these auctions. For the box apple business selling through the auctions is noth ing short of suicidal, either this or any other year. For four years past the big auction houses have been doing their utmost to get control of the box ed apple business of the Pacific North west, and have offered all kinds o inducements to gain that control."

H. L. HOWE, City Recorder. 49-61 An Offended Painter. ITere Is n story of Whistler's Irascible treatment of Lady Meux. of whom he pnlnted three portraits. It Is told In Thomas Way's "Memoirs of Whis tler." "In view of the number of sittings Whistler wanted and his severe treat ment of his models, I think It enor mously to the credit of Lndy Meux that she should have continued through two and stnrted on the third portrait in which she was painted wearing a mantle of Russian sables. There was a story thnt. being one day not op to the mark, she sent her maid to stand for ber. dressed in the sables. This so offended Whistler thnt promptly the maid's face appeared In place of that of the mistress, and. If the picture still exists, there It probably remains." The women turned out manfully.
