PERFECT SPECIMENS OF FRUIT
LWell-Kept Orchard In Home of the
"Big Red Apple" Brings Returns
of Over $200 Per Acre on
$1000 Land.
SALEM,;- Or., Nov. 29tr-SpeclaL That
the Willamette Valley is -still an apple
erowlng region Is shown fcy the fact that
on a. single orchard near' Salem there
were grown and packed this year more
boxes ol first-class Spltzenberg app!es
than -were shipped from the. entire Hood
Elver Valley. That the apples -were up'
to standard In quality Is evident when It
Is stated that a Hood River expert was
employed to pack the fruit In accordance
with the regulations la force at packing
establishments In the famous Hood
River Valley. The Salem apples were
sold In New York City on tneir merits.
The orchard referred to is the well
known Wallace orchard, near this1 city,
where 10,000 boxes of shipping apples
were produced. The orchard comprises 35
acres, but many of the trees have been
removed or set to other varieties, so that
there were in reality only enough Splt
renberg trees to fill completely about 30
acres. Because the outlook for a crop
was poor early in the Fall, the apples
were sold at a reduced price and brought
only $12,000. The crop matured much bet
ter than expected and yielded the pur
chaser a handsome profit.
Manager C A. Park, of the Wallace
orchard, estimates that It cost 51000 to
j.rune, spray and cultivate the orchard
and $3500 to pick and pack the fruit. This
leaves a net return of $7500 on the 33
acre.", or $214 per acre. This Is over 20
per cent on the investment if the or
chard be estimated to be worth $1000 an
icre.
In view of this good showing made by
:he Wallace orchard, the question "How
lid you do it"? seemed peculiarly perti
lent, and' It was (put to Mr. Park.
"In the first place, we kept the trees
as clean as we reasonably could by spray
ing," he replied. "We kept the trees
well pruned and then took off about
two-thirds of the fruit while the apples
were young. As a rule we left the ap
ples no closer together on the limb than
six or eight Inches. The result was that
cur apples were large, clean and well
colored. This last characteristic Is im
jwrtant, for one of the requirements of
a first-class apple is, " that its surface
must be at least two-thirds red. Out of
the whole 10,000 boxes of apples we fdund
only 62 boxes that did not go Into 'th
class of 'two-thirds red.'
"It was the Willamette Valley that
gave Oregon its reputation for 'big red
apples,' " continued Mr. Park, "and I
- hope ot see Willamette Valley orchard
Jsts reap a fair share of the benefits of
that reputation. If growers would only
clean up their orchards, spray them thor
oughly at the proper times and pick off
enough fruit -while young so that what
remains will be large and well formed,
we shall have much less of the poor fruit
that Is unprofitable to raise and not suit
able to ship.
Then we must have packers who will
not accept poor fruit. When we" sold the
Wallace apples this year we told the pur
chaser that we wanted him to get a man
who understood the business to super
intend the packing. He sent to Hood
River for a man. and the large quantity
of apples that were found acceptable un
der his regulations shows 'what the Wil
lamette Valley can do in raising apples
of good quality."
Besides these 10.000 boxes of apples that
were shipped East, there was also raised
on the Wallace orchard 153 tons of Bart
lett pears," 1800 boxes of Fall pears and
io tons of otherv apples.

LOS ANGELEB. Cal., Nov. 29. The Her
ald today says i
After se'eking'for the past three years
to come to some understanding with tho
Southeastern lines In regard to an adjust
ment or ireignt rates, the Transconti
nental Frejgbt Bureau lines have deter
mined upon a -final move, and today will
noiuy snippers throughout California
that, beginning with -December 17, they
win cancel all rates now in effect in con
nectlon with Southeastern roads for traf
fic -to, from or passing through Pacific
Coast terminals on one .hand and to. from
or passing through points, east of the Mis
sissippi. Exceptions to this rulinc are the
lines of the Illinois Central, 'the Mobile
& Ohio and the Kansas City, Memphis
"& Birmingham railroads.
The effect of the decision, by which
" citrus growers ,are practically excluded
from tho sale of their fruits In six of the
Eastern states, will be severely felt in
Other lines of business. It means that.
with the exception noted, fruitgrowers.-in

forced to pay the local rate that is in
effect east of the Mississippi "River, and
ir the fruit finds tio market In the city
to which it is conelghcd, the shippers must
neither let It rot or pay an additional local
te to any other city to which it is
consigned.- The states 1ft tho East af
fected by this ruling are Kentucky. Ten

out to the citrus growers, come the same
conditions for shipperscof? canned goods,

Of the country, and In return a raise In

goods, tobacco, furniture and other
staples which are received in large quan
tities from the states in. question.
The Southeastern lines started the quar
rel several years ago by demanding a
larger amount of the freight receipts than
the transcontinental lines, justly or un
justly, believed they -were entitled to.
During the past two years three meetings
thave been balled In the hope that the dif
ficulties might be overcome and an agree
ment reached which would be satisfactory
to all persons concerned. The last meet
ing was held in Chicgo September 23, but
representatives of the different roads
failed to agree. The breaking, off of con
nections comes as a result.
"The transcontinental lines have been
draWn into this against their wishes,"
cald an official of one of the big systems
last night, "and they regret the action
that lias been taken as much as will the
shippers. I think that they would be will
ing to arbitrate the' question, but it docs
not seem possible. How long this is to
last I do not know."

Whea the publication was made a. few
days ago charging that the Warden was
some 51500 short in Tils accounts it was
inferred that the Information had been
given out or authorized by the Secretary
of State or Attorney-General. Both de
nied they had ever stated the Warden was
short. The Attorney-General, at tho re
quest of the Warden, made an ex
amination of the matter and has made a
signed statement showing the Warden
has on hand all the money for which the
books call.
He found the Warden had some 51350
in cash and accounts amounting to $1703.
These accounts are bills paid out of the
funds and for which the Warden Is to be
reimbursed by the board. The total is
several hundred dollars more than is
shown to be due from the Warden. Noth
ing further has been done with reference
to tho proceedings to compel the Warden
to turn over the keys to Ackle'y, the new
Warden appointed by the Secretary of
State and Attorney-General during the

REWARD FOR CONVICT ESCAPES
Police Officer in Making Arrest Is
Simply Doing His Duty.
OLYMPIA, Wpsh., Nov. 29. (Special.)
There will not be any reward paid for
the capture of J. P, Cogsdill, the escaped
trusty from Walla Walla, who was taken
In this city on October 30, who had been
at liberty for a month, unless the courts
so direct. Cogsdill was arrested here by
Police Officer A. J. Bennett as a result of
a telephone message -to the Sheriff from
C. A. Lee, of Tenlno, whp was alarmed
lest Cogs&lll would make way with a
team hired or him that day.
Neither Lee nor the ofllcer know there
was a reward outstanding for the cap
ture jof the man. Both, however, applied
to th'e State Board of Control for the $75
offered and the matter was referred to
tho Attorney-General. In an opinion filed
today, which is important inasmuch as It
will govern the many similar cases that
arise yearly, the Attorney-General holds
that a police officer in making arrests of
this nature for the Sheriff is acting In
has capacity as a police officer and not as
a private citizen and that it is viola
tion of public policy for him to receive a
reward for so doing.
The Attorney-General says there are
two lines of authority In respect to Lee's
right to the reward, one being opposed
and the other favorable. He advises that
while the Board would probably not be
criticised for payment of the reward to
Lee, under the circumstances a release
should be secured from Bennett or else
be allowed to settle the matter In court.
The Board will adopt the latter course.
