His Le howa fruit farm products of Mosier, Ore., sell In the dining rooms of Los Angeles at 25 cents an apple and in Paris at the leading hotels, this same variety brings $1 per. This price holds good in Berlin, Vienna, London and other large cities to which Howe ships his fruit. "My apples are not touched by the hand of man until they reach the con sumer," said Howe In describing his method of putting the apples on the market. "I call them a 'de luxe' ap ple, although they are different va rieties Spitzenbergs, Roman Beauties, Winesapa and others. The man who picks them uses gloves. Each apple Is thoroughly cleaned with a cloth, given a fine polish and put in a tissue wrapper which bears the name of the variety and that of the packer. The handlers of the fruit through this process wear gloves. Then the apple is placed in an individual carton. In this it Is packed in shipping boxes and served in the hotels of the world where only the best of viands are to be found." Howe has been packing his fruit In this manner for about five years and J) as been Increasing the size of bis ranch until be has about 200 acres devoted to raising and marketing only the best of fruit. "Anything with a blemish is thrown into the discard," he said and that accounts for the reason that he has se cured a high price for fruit when apples produced all around his terri tory were bringing only 60 cents a box.

Mild argument and persuasion, instead of the hickory stick, is the method of discipline which has been adopted by County Superintendent A. P. Armstrong. In grade meetings and by personal in terviews, he is explaining his method to his teachers, and is insisting on its adoption.

At the meeting of the city council last week at Woodburn improvements running into the thousands of dollars wece initiated, and unless proposals are killed by remonstrances, the early Bpring and summer will see great ac tivity at this point.

Despite the adverse vote of the peo ple last November, the legislature has ordered the question of creating the of fice of leiutenant governor to be placed on the ballot in 1914. The Senate passed Speaker McArthur's resolution to submit the question, the House hav. ing already acted. The resolution re ceived 18 votes, two more than needed.

This will be a big accommodation for the voters or itrimoi ana tne country as far north as the Pyatt place. Had this precinct been created before the last election, the vote would have been larger and county division would have scored higher.

The new district Is com posed of the counties of Klickitat, Clark, Skamania, Cowlitz and Wahki akum.
