,THE- MOIlNlG -OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER, 22, 1906. 11 Lo wnsdale'sDisplayProvesThat Willamette Valley Produces Apples Equal to Any THFi Willamette Valley can and does miag as fine apple as any other part, of the world, the Hood River Valley not -excepted. This was proved yesterday In a manner that does not permit of dispute. Millard O. Lownwialc's exhihit was displayed to the public and the verdict was unanimous that no finer apples were ever seen In the famous apple-growinpr State of Oregon than these grown in his Yamhill County orchards. The dlslav,N which has been looked forward to by apple enthusiasts for many days. -was? placed in one of the windows of Olds. Wortman & King. Krom the time the screen was taken off the windows early in the afternoon until the lights were put out at night, thcre'was not a moment that the space before it was not crowded. People gazed at the exhibit as they would at a picture. Nothing is more common in this country than apples, hut it is safe to say that not one In a thousand that looked at the red and golden fruit had ever seen its like before. if was not intended tiy Mr. Lownsriale as a show display. Bit? apples there were., but blpness was not the point ho aimed at. The object of the exhibit was to present the commercial product boxes of apples commercially packed the ap ples that count in the markets of the world and bring wealth and fame to the section In which they are produced. Biff apples are like big pumpkin, they be-' lmig to county fairs with big steers and big hogs. The apple that , counts is one that has not only perfect color on the outside, hut a perfect quality within. Mr. Ijownsdale directed his attention In making the exhibit to the practical side of the apple Industry. And he succeeded. The Willamette Valley, let it now be Vnown to the entire world, .can pro duce an apple that Is in every respect perfect. In appearance, taste and keeping (Itiallties no apples surpass those grown west of the Cuscado Mountains. The apples raised in. the Ixtwnsdale orchards, of which the exhibit on Washington street is but a sample, prove it. The dlsplny brought together by Mr. Tiown.sdalir is all from the Willamette Valley. Ills display is principally Spltz enhergs. though he has some Baldwins and a few boxes of Ben Davis and Yellow Newtowns.- The Wallace orchard, of falem and !. T. Reynolds, of the same place, have a few boxes on exhibition. Tlie Spitzenbergs sent by Mr. Wallace made a moat creditable display. Mark Levi shows a few boxes of lady apples, , A part of the Lownsdale-display was missing when the boxes were unpacked here. They were all shipped together from I .a Fayette, but somewhere be tween that place and PortTand a number of the best boxes disappeared. This seri iously crippled the exhibit and Mr. Lowns dale would have postponed it, but for the D. C. Elliott Wins Damage Suit Against Lumber Co. WAS INJURED IN SAWMILL His teg Ticrced by Timber Thrown IVom Planer Defendants" Will Immediately Appeal to State Supreme Court. A jury In Judge Gantenbein's depart ment of the State Circuit Court, yester day afternoon- awarded D. C. Elliott J"i500 damages in his suit against the North Pacitic Lumber Company, after deliberating about an hour. The plain tiff, through J. E. Elliott, his guardian, brought an action to recover allO.068 on account of personal injuries alleged to have been sustained by him May 4, 1905, while in the employ of the defendant cor poration as a hooktender on-the lumber deck. The complaint recited that at the time of the alleged accident the defendant had so carelessly operated and maintained an edger and rollers that a large piece of lumber, after It had passed through, or partially so, became entangled and wedged under the rollers in such a man ner that it was caught in the saws of the edger and thrown a distance of about 63 feet, striking young Elliott in the back part of the left leg, immediately behind the knee, passing through the same, and tearing the tendons to such an extent that he was Injured for life. The answer of defendants charged contributory neg ligence by plaintiff, together with care lessness on the part of his fellow-employes at the time of the accident. Spencer & Davis and W. E. Ferrell rep resented plaintiff, while Hogue & Wilbur appeared for the lumber company. R. W. Wilbur stated last night that he was not surprised at the verdict, but that he would appeal the case to the Supreme Court without delay. He declares that sufficient grounds for error can be pro duced to reverse the findings of the trial jury, and that he has three distinct counts upon which to base this opinion. On the other .hand, W. M. Davis, one of the attorneys for young Elliott said his firm was well satisfied with the verdict, and that there was no possible chance for any reversal on grounds of error, as the court had been very Impartial in Its rulings and Instructions. Asks $50,000 for Personal Injuries. Mrs. W. A. Burdette brought suit in , the State Circuit Court yesterday against the Portland Railway Company for $50, 000 damages on account of personal in juries claimed to have been received by her May 21 last, while attempting to board a Montavilla car at the wes end of the Morrison-street bridge. It is alleged in the complaint that through the neglig ence of the conductor, the car was started while she had one foot on the step, I throwing her down and dragging her a distance of from 20 to 40 feet, whereby her shoulder, hip and spine were In jured and twisted to such an extent that she has sustained a permanent shock to her nervous system, from the effects of which she is fast becoming a neuras thenic. Long & Sweek are attorneys for plittntiff. Charles Royal Convicted. Charles Royal, alias "Milwaukee Shine,'' a well-known colored denize of the North End, was yesterday convicted by a jury In Judge Cleland'-s court of having picked the pockets of Tony Abruzzi, an Italian, September 28. at Second and Couch streets. The case was on appeal from the' Municipal Court, Judge Cam eron .having found him guilty there and sentenced him to 270 days In the County Jail. - Court Notes.

He has proved what he started out to prove, that his apples Jf e as good as those grown in Hood Wrier. The commenda tions of the people who saw the apples yesterday were' 'enough for him. What pleased him more than anything else were the compliments .of several Hood River growers. They owned up that they had been wrong in denying the William ette Valley anything of value in the apple line. "We have to give up." said one of them. "Those apples are as good as Hood Rlver's.jiny time." President: L. C. Keating, vice-president: Jay H. Upton, secretary, and Harry F. McKay, medical director. J. A. Sloan. E. D. Ellis and E.

Hicks, deceased, yesterday brought suit against the Port land General Electric Company to re cover $5000 damages on account of the death of Hicks, who was killed at First and Alder streets May 29 last through coming in contact with a live wire while in the employ of the defendant corpora tion as a lineman. S. H. Qruber and R. J. Bukowsky are plaintiff's attorneys. The will of Charles Wilnon. who! died here October 24 last, was admitted to pro bate . yesterday and Mary F. Wilson, widow of deceased, was appointed ex ecutrix by Judge Webster. The instru ment Is dated May 21, 1S94, and bequeaths a $20,000 estate to his widow and two chil dren, George W. Wilson, aged 28, and Julia A. Wilson, aged 23, both residents of Portland. Under the terms of the will the wife gets a $2000 life Insurance policy, besides one-third the balance of the estate, which is equally divided between herself and the children. USED MAILS TO DEFRAUD Mr. and Mrs. Jf. C. Hulin Arrested on Charge of Buncoing. Mr. and Mrs. N. C. Hulin, of 127 East Fifteenth street, were arrested yesterday by Postal Inspector E. C. Clement,' and charged with fraudulent use of the malls. They were taken be fore Captain Sladen, United States Commissioner, and released under $400 bail, which Hulin furnished by mak-, ing a cash deposit: The Hulins. until Postal Inspector Clement arrested them, were running a sort of an end less chain postal-car'd system that is said to have been earning the pair a good living. The Hulin scheme was to send out printed postal cards telling-, the person to whom the card was addressed that for 50 cents the Pacific Letter Bureau, through the Hulins, would put the per son receiving the card in a position to earn $500 a week. As a bait for the "sucker," fVo valuable recipes were offered. One of the recipes was for beautifying the face, and the other a sure cure for all pain. How much the Hulins have made out of their scheme is not known to the postal authorities, but it is believed that they have made a rich haul, for the 50-cent pieces have been pouring into the "bureau" in the Fleidner building, where the Hulins had their office. The arrest qf the Hulins was due to a postal card that the,y sent to Mrs. Ivan B. HIU, of Spokane. Mrs. Hill sent her SO cents, and in addition to receiving her two Vecipes, was let Into the secret by which it- was promised she could earn $500 a week. Mrs. Hill also received a letter saying that for an additional 60 cents the "Pacific Let ter Bureau" would furnish her with a list of names. The instructions In this letter were to have Mrs. Hill write to the people whose names were given and to promise1 them the secret of making money without work. Jt is thought that the Hulins have not made a fortune out of the get-rlch-quick scheme, for $400 was all the money Hulin could command when he was arrested. When arrested, Hultn went to pieces, but Mrs. Hulin main tained her composure, and the officials were unable to get much Information from her. Will Ask for Lights at Stations. People living along, the Mount Scott railway beyond the Powell Valley road are demanding that the railway company place electric lights at waiting stations, which at present they say are dangerous. President F. L. Kneeland,- of the Mount Scott Improvement Club, said yesterday that the accident by which- Miss Alpha Turner lost her life at Arleta station was due to the darkness. The club will take this matter up at Its annual meeting next Monday evening, at which time the company will be asked to provide lights at these waiting stations. Mllwaukie Country Clnb.

"The commercial value of the Hood River output." he said last evening, "de pends on Its Spitzenbergs. I fought them on this ground, and I believe I have made good. We know that the quality of our Spitzenbergs is higher and the flavor bet ter than those of Hood River. The tex ture of Spitzenbergs grown in the Val ley is finer grained and there Is more oil In the apples that gives them a delicacy iof flavor that no other apples have. "We claim also that the Willamette Valley produces an apple truer to the Spitzenberg type than the apple of the Hood River country. The true type of . a New Leading Man at Baker Will Be Ernest Hastings. FROHMAN'S PRIOR CLAIM Had Already Signed With Stuart to Produce Play, Which Latter Had Written, With Stuart as Star. Baker Grants His Release. Ralph Stuart Is not coming to be the Baker leading man, and the hearts of the matinee girls will be saddened. But they need not be disconsolate, tor his placewill be taken by a man who is even a greater idol of the chocolate cream contingent. His name Ernest -Hastings, and In the language o( the street "he's all to the good." Two days ago Manager George L. Baker received a disconcerting telegram from Mr. Stuart asking for his release, and, after an exchange of queries and explana tions by wire .between Baker, Stuart and Baker's New York representatives, the conditions were explained and Mr. Baker agreed to release Mr. Stuart on the prom ise that Ernest Hastings could be secured. The story is this: Ralph Stuart has been under contract with Charles Froh man for a year or more to produce and star In a play which Stuart has written, but the latter was of 'the opinion that the piece would not b"e put on until next year. When the announcement appeared In the New York .papers the other day that Stuart was coming to Portland, Mr. Froh man Immediately communicated with the actor that If he accepted the contract and came to the Coast the contract between them would be canceled, as he had other plans for Stuart and his play. This left the popular leading man and star up in the air, with nothing to do buf ask for his release from Baker. Mr. Baker pondered the matter, but pon dered it hurriedly, as there was little time to spare. He advised with his representa tive on Broadway, who verified Mr. Stu art's statement, and on the latter's prom ise to secure Ernest Hastings, George Ba ker did a courteous and friendly act and released him. In speaking of the matter Mr. Baker de clared that he had no doubts concerning Stuart's good faith, and that rather than jeopardize Stuart's future with the Froh man forces he was perfectly willing to re lease him, especially in view of the fact that a man like Hastings could be se cured In his place. The latter left New York Wednes day night and will arrive here Sup day. He will make his first appear ance with the Baker forces December 4 ln "The Social Highwayman," the piece which was to have marked Stu art's return. Hastings is one of the best among the younger leading men on the stage, and has been with Henry Miller during .the present season until he accepted the Baker offer. For two seasons he was leading man at the Alcazar in San Francisco and subsequently vis ited Portland, being featured in "Our New Minister." His work here as the minister on that occasion made a marked impression on the local pub lic and his return to the city ln a per manent capacity is a. bit of good luck for local theater patrons. Hastings' name at the head of the Baker Company adds another to the list of distinguished actors who have appeared in that capacity. George Baker may justly be proud of the showing since he entered the stock business here, for he has presented in the following order: Ralph Stuart, Charles Wyngate, George Alison, Howaid Gould, Guy Standing, Mel borne MacDowoJl, "Edgar Baume and Richard Thornton. ' Few stock managers in the country can boast such a record. A. A. G. lire Fighters Incorporate.

"The question whether or not we have made good in our assertions that we can produce apples as good as any other place has been left to the public to de cide, and the people have already decid ed in our favor." Mr. Lownsdale Is certainly entitled to great credit in making this display, as It cannot fail to convince the most skeptical that Western Oregon stands in the very front rank as an apple producer. As he says, "there should be no further talk about the Valley not being able to pro duce the finest fruit in the world." raise funds with which to buy apparatus. Some money has been raised by subscrip tion, but much more is needed if effective service is to be rendered. The company hopes to secure a twin-tank chemical en gine, but it will cost much more than the money On hand. One of the greatest diffi culties to overcome Is to secure a loca tion that is central and from which the large territory can be covered. SUIT AGAINST LAND BOARD Case Before Federal Court Recalls H. H. Turner Jjand Frauds. An echo of the case of- H.' H. Turner, the Salem attorney, who dipped Into Oregon . land frauds, and who is now before the State Supreme Court on dis barment proceedings, came -up In the United States District Court when John De Laittre, . of Minnesota, kand S. S. Johnson, of California, brought suit against Governor Chamberlain, F. I. Dunbar, Secretary of State, and Charles S. Moore, State Treasurer, wlfo consti tute the State Land Board. The suit Is brought to make void an order issued by the Land Board canceling certifi cates of purchase to 320 acres of state, school land, and to compel .the state to issue a deed to the property. De Lait tre and Johnson alleged that Turner forged the name of George P. Cook, a bogus applicant, for' the purchase of the land, which was later assigned by him to Alfred T. Kelllher, who was convicted of land frauds ln Marion County. Kelllher, it is alleged in the complaint, sold the land to De Laittre and Johnson for $320, and now they find that the state has canceled their certificates of purchase. They bring the suit on the ground that at the time of the purchase they were innocent purchasers. Attorney-General Crawford Inter posed a demurrer to the complaint, and it was argued before Judge Wolverton yesterday morning. Attorney-General Crawford contended that the plaintiffs could not claim the right of innocent purchasers as long as they held certifi cates that had been obtained in the first place by fraud,. Judge Wolverton asked for briefs and the case was sub mitted. To Dispose of Prisoner's Handiwork. Plans for the disposal of the beautiful Inlaid table that was madeby a life termer in the Salem State Prison are under process of development by friends of the condemned man. whose family is to profit by the proceeds of the sale.

Particular .attention was given to this feature, as every apple grower knows that good packing goes a long way when It comes to finding a mar ket. It is the hope of Mr. Lownsdale that this exhibit will be the means of bringing the Willamette Valley apple-growers to gether. An association, he believes, should be formed, not only for the displaying of apples, but also to promote the best han dling and marketing of the product. The Lownsdale apple exhibit will remain In Olds, Wortman & King's window until Monday. MARKET IS ACTIVE Number of Good-Sized Realty Deals Reported Yesterday. $35,000 DEAL ON FIRST Coeur d'Alene - House. Sold foe $35,000 Simon Bros. Buy Site and Will Build for the Hazel . wood Cream - Company. The' Coeur d'Alene building, 310 First street, was sold yesterday by Loewenson Bros, for $35,000, to two local wholesale merchants, whose names are for the pres ent withheld. The building Is a four-story brick at the northeast corner of First and Clay streets, occupying a single lot. Tnere are stores on the lower floor and the re mainder of the structure Is used for hotel purposes. The sale was made by Gold smith & Co. Sales along First street are becoming more frequent, owing to the impetus given property in that district by an organiza tion of the owners. There is a movement on foot to improve the street s well as the buildings fronting on it, and it is believed that there will result an in crease in property values. Attention is also, being directed to First street by the Portland-Salem electric line, now under construction, which will undoubtedly ben efit the district near the river. That the idea of building reinforced concrete structures is gaining in popular ity here is shown by the fact that a sec ond structure of this 'material will soon be erected. It Is to be constructed by Peaslee Bros., a firm of Front-street printers, who have just purchased a site from A. Knott. The property is a single lot at Eleventh and Davis streets, and the price was $12,000. Whiting & Rountree were the agents. Construction on the new building will probably commence during the next month, or as soon as the present tenants vacate the premises. The building will be at least three stories ln height, and may be six. The plans are being drawn by a local architect. Peaslee Bros, will move their label department into the new build- identifies the products of the Company and ever stands for the baking.

An lllus.trated lecture on advertising was the main feature Of the Portland Ad Men's League meeting, held ln the Board of Trade rooms last night. G. M. Weister threw a number of stereopticon advertisements on . the screen, one group being advertisements that have proven a failure and the other group being suc cessful advertisements. C. C. Chapman was the principal speaker and pointed out the weak and the strong points of each advertisement thrown on the screen. His lecture held close attention. After the lecture Mr. Weister showed a number of views of mountain scenery, all of which were of exceptional beauty and grandeur. Four new members were taken into the league 0nd two applica tions received. During the last few months the membership has greatly in creased and the league Is growing much stronger. The question of offering prizes for th best criticism of advertisements written by members of the league was discussed at length. It was decided that the suc cess of this project would depend on the attitude of the press and the mer chants and nothing definite will be done for several months. If the project is adopted, only . women and girls will be allowed to participate in the criticisms, and only newspaper advertisements will be open to criticism.- Oklahoma Convention Organized.
