MOSIER MAN RAISES
APPLES 'DE LUXE'
(Los Angeles Tribune)
Edward L. Howe, packer of the fin
est apples In the world, is passing a
few days at the Van Nuys. 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.
FAMILY AVERAGES 201 POUNDS
Combined Weight of Its Four Members
Is 805 Pounds
Which is the heaviest family In the
county? Last week the News ventur
ed the assertion that honors might be
long to the family of A. B. Billings of
the Upper Valley, whose three mem
bers show an average weight of 191
pounds. Another aspirant for honors
in this line now appears in the person
of 8. W. Arnold, whose family, com
posed of four, boasts an average
weight of 201 pounds. Mr. Arnold tips
the scales at 240: his son Floyd, at 220;
Clyde at 175, and Mrs. Arnold at 170.
Their combined weights are therefore
805 pounds or an average of 201.
Five per cent money to loan with
which to pay off that mortgage on
your home. Address P. O. Box 185.

BRIEF NOTES FROM
AROUNDTHE STATE In
Corporal Punishment has been plac
ed under the ban in the Multnomah k?
county schools. 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.
Profanity Bill Passed
All person who have contracted tha
habit of using profane language a:
public watering places or resorts out
side of incorporated cities or on public
highways have but a few months now
in which to reform or pay a fine, To.
Governor West has announced that he
has signed House bill 133, of which
Representative Schuebel is the author.
The bill w ill go Into effect 90 days af
ter the session adjourns, and provides

ive language upon any grounds used

outside of any incorporated city, or
who shall be guilty of any misdeeds
on a public highway, shall be subject
to conviction and a fine not exceeding
$50.
In a big rabbit drive between the
ranches of William Scott and Clarence
Oxman, near Jaraieson, north of Vale,
more than 300 were killed with rifles,
no clubs being used.
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. It is proposed to
macadamize nearly two miles of street
within the city after the necessary
grades are established and concrete
curbs Installed; three blocks of alley
in the business section will be paved
with concrete, as will five blocks of
streets.
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 was done in the face of an ad
verse report from the resolution committee.

half ago, bought a small tract of land
and took over the local paper. His
family left Lyle some months ago.
Wm. Morginson, county commission
er, has finally notified the people on
the Heights of the creation of the new
voting precinct, the polling place of
which will be at Law's corner. 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.
At the Congregational District As
