"Expert and close attention to detail Is all that is required to raise such apples as are Included in the exhibit," said Mr. Lownsdale, whose faith in the Wil lamette Valley as an apple-producing sec tion suggested the exhibition that is be ing held. "When that is given, locality cuts but little figure. It Is true that cer tain soil Is not adapted to tree-srowlns. but any soil capable of producing ordin ary . crops In the Willamette Valley will produce fruit of matchless quality whs 1 the orchardlst gives the industry proper attention." " In connection with the apple, exhibit there are shown several, speclments of Oregon-grown nuts by the Yamhill Wal nut Club. The varieties exhibited are: English walnuts, filberts, chestnuts and almonds. The growing of nuts, partic ularly the English walnut, is a well de eloped Industry in Yamhill county where there are orchards aggregating ovef 800 acres. Thomas Prince, of Dundee, Is the largest individual grower. He has planted 110 acres of these walnuts, 40 acres being In bearing. This year he harvested from the 40 acres 14 tons of nuts which were sold at 18 cents a pound, netting J5O40. Nine-year-old trees In the Prince orchard measure 12 Inches In diameter with a spread of 36 feet. One 14-year-old tree this year produced 125 pounds. Walnut trees come Into bearing from five to seven years after planting, and are long-lived, trees In France known to be over 300 ears old continuing to bear. The very creditable exhibit of nuts Is contributed collectively by the follow ing growers: Thomas Prince. James Mor rison, Ed Greer. F. W. Meyers, D. H. Turner, of Dundee; Bland Herring, North Yamhill; Barrett Y. Roe, Gaston; Mrs. Mahala Cozine, E. C. Apperson. R. P. Ungerman, M. EX Hendricks. T. Derr, E. Estcs, Mrs. W. T. Jones and Dr. E. E. Goucher. Dr. Goucher ' has an orchard of 90 acres. HOOD RIVER EXniBITIOX, TOO Joseph A. Wilson Spreads Display In Washington-Street Window. Visitors in Portland, and in fact everybody in the city at present, hrtve an opportunity to view an exhibition of apples and get visible proof of the wonders coming out of the orchards of Oregon. In the windows of Goddard Kelly Co.," at the southwest corner of Sixth and Washington streets, Joseph' A. Wilson, of Hood River, has installed an exhibit of. apples from that district embracing 14 varieties, namely. Nor thern Spy, Wlnesap, Winter Banana, Hood River Red, Baldwin. Ben Dayis, Wegener, Spltzenberg, Yellow Newton, Delicious, Ortley, Arkansas Black, Hyde's King and Gano. Particular attention was paid by Mr. Wilson in arranging the exhibit so that it shows not only the quality of the fruit, but also the pack and different methods of preparing the fruit for ship ment. Attention has been given also to artistic arrangement, the feature be ing a glass revolving case worked by electricity, with lights fixed so as to : jw,w.v'. u - in in nn---iiTirri ith mill i limn liiinii n m iimiii in 1 1 in i mmiilim demonstrate the exactness of .packing in use In that district. In addition to the full boxes on display, there are four quarter boxes showing the four layers in the full box just as they came out of one packed ready for market. Each box of fruit is marked with a neatly printed label. Mr. Wilson, speaking of the exhibit, said last night: "I did not come down here for the purpose of boasting about Hood River; that district needs no boosting. Nor am-1 here to make any comparison or to cast reflection on any other district or individual. I am here simply In a publicity way to assist in advertising the state of Oregon to the Easterners who may be in Port land." ... , ' The display will remain in place un til next Monday afternoon. Mr. Wilson directed attention to the fact that in recognition of the good feeling existing between Hood River and Portland a bunch of roses has been placed on top of the revolving case. GROWERS FORM ASSOCIATION Willamette Valley Apple Men Or ganize for Good ol Industry. The Willamette Valley Applegrowers' Association was organized at a meeting of enthusiastic Willamette Valley or chardists in the parlors of the Imperial Hotel last night. The organization will be restricted exclusively to the counties naturally included in the Willamette Val ley, beln Lane, Linn. Benton, Marion, Polk, Washington, Yamhill, Clackamas, Columbia and Multnomah. The object of the association is the education of the applegrower as to the planting of his orchard, the growing and the marketing of his fruit. The plan of operation will be lormulated and reported by the ex ecutive committee at an adjourned meet ing which will be held next January in connection with the quarterly meeting of the State Board of Horticulture. M. O. Lownsdale, of Lafayette, Yam hill County, was elected president and I T. Reynolds, of Salem, Marlon County, secretary-treasurer. One vice-president was elected for each of the ten counties, with the exception of Clackamas, for which the president and secretary-treasurer were directed to make a nomina tion later. These vice-presidents, to gether with the president and the aecre-tary-treasurer, will constitute the execu tive committee, which was Instructed to prepare a constitution- and bylaws and a plan of operation to be submitted, at the January meeting. The following viee presidents were elected: Lane, J. H. Bushnell, Junction City; Linn. H.. Bryant, Albany; Benton, D. W. Rumbaugh, Cor-valll-s; Marion, C. A. Park, Salem; Polk, Paul Wallace. Zena; Washington, H. C. At well. Forest Grove; Yamhill, H. C. Van. Dorn, Dayton; Columbia. A. Holla day; Multnomah, H. C. Dosch, Portland. There was a unanimous sentiment for organization and co-operation as the one essential element for the mutual protec tion and benefit of the applegrowers of the Willamette Valley In' the campaign which has for Its primary purpose the growing and .marketing of a. superior quality of fruit. The proposed plan of organization was strongly indorsed in short addresses by W. H. Latourette and J. C. Cooper, of McMinnville; E. C. RobT erts, of Albany; Thomas .Prince and W. S. Allen, of Dundee; H. C Atell, of Forest Grove; Paul Wallace and L. T. Reynolds, of Salem.

COMEDY AT" THE MARQUAM i "The Heir to the Hoorah" Opens Engagement Tonight. A comedy with a thousand laughs is the way to describe Paul Armstrong's clever play, "The Heir to the Hoorah," which Klrke La Shelle will present here at the Macquam Grand' for three nights and one matint-e,. commencing tonight. "The Heir to the Hoorah" is one of the brightest comedies that has eer been seen in Port land. None of the laughs are based on horseplay; everybody acts just like some real person might act under similar cir cumstances, and most of it Is excruciat ingly, uproariously funny.

DISREGARDS BANK HOLIDAY Follows Advice of District Attorney and Accepts All Papers Of fered for Record,-TotaI for the Day, 19 5. More than 100 deeds, mortgages and other instruments of like character were filed yesterday In the County Clerk's office. The number of instruments re corded was nearly 200, the.' result of the suspension of business during the first fortnight of the bank holidays. The Clerk, under ordinary circumstances, re cords an average of 80 instruments a day. Some persons wishing to file deeds are still unconvinced that the County Clerk has legal' authority to accept instruments for record during the bank holidays; otherwise the number- of papers filed would have been larger. At 5 o'clock last night the ' Deputy County Clerks had recorded 195 instru ments, SO of these having been offered on previous holidays, but not recorded. One hundred and fifteen instruments were offered and accepted yesterday. The opinion sent by District Attorney Manning to the County Clerk, in which he says Mr. Fields has due authority to record instruments, holds that as the Clerk is a public servant, and as the public demands the opening of his or fice, the public, not the Clerk, is respon sible for the results- of his actions. It appears from the instruments re corded that the bank holidays have not prevented the making nut of convey ances, or their acknowledgment, for al most without exception the deeds and mortgages bear recent dates, and show that but a few days have elapsed since their acknowledgment before notaries public. , The bank holidays have placed building contractors, artisans, machinists, lum ber dealers and laborers !n a queer pre dicament. The Oregon law provides that a lien upon any building must be filed with the County Clerk within- 60 days after the completion of fhe contract. In the case of contractors, and within 30 days in the case of other creditors. If any of these liens are filed during the present holidays It will give an oppor tunity for a contention on the part of the property owner that the filing was not legal, while, on the other hand. If the creditors should wait until the holidays cease to he declared by Governor Cham berlain, they could not then. It is said, legally file a lien. If there is a provision in the Oregon code to meet this emer gency. It has not yet been brought to light. Section 531 of the Oregon code relates to the computing of time In which an act must be done, and is as follows: The time within which an act must be done, as provided In this code, shall be computed by excluding the first day and In cluding the last, unless the last day rails upon a Sunday. Christmas, or other non Judicial day. In which case the last day shall also be excluded. The time for the publication or legal nctlces shall be com puted so as to exclude the first day of pub lication, and' to Include the day on which the act or event of which notice la given Is to happen, or which completes the full period required for publication. Section 3644 relates to the filing of liens. It reads as follows: It shall bo the duty of every original contractor, within 60 days after the com pletion of his contract, and of every me chanic, artisan, machinist, builder, lumber merchant, laborer, or other person, save the original contractor, claiming the benefit of this act, within 30 days after the comple tion of the alteration or repair thereof, or after he has ceased to labor thereon from any cause, or after he has ceased to furnish materials therefor, to file with the County Clerk In which such building or other Im provement, or some part thereof, shall be situated, a claim containing a true statement ot his demands, after deducting all Just credits and ofTsetn. with the name of the owner, or reputed owner, lr known, and also the name o rthe person by whom he was employed or to whom he rurnlshed the ma terials, and also a description or the prop erty to be charged with such Hen. suf ficient for Identification, which claim shall be verified by the oath of himself or of pome other person having knowledge of the facts. COINERS ARE BOUND OVER Anderson and Kuhn Held to Federal Grand Jury. John Anderson and Fred Kuhn, arrested Tuesday by Secret Service Detectives Nicholson and Connell, while in the act of leaking counterfeit J5 and $10 gold .pieces, were brought before United States Commissioner Sladen yesterday. They waived examination and were held to the Federal grand Jury. Being unable to fur nish the required 13500 bonds, they were lodged In the County Jail. Both the alleged counterfeiters are ex convlcts. Kuhn, though only 24 years old, has had an active criminal career. The first offense for which he was arrested was the theft of $40 from Locksley Hall, at Seaside, for which he was sentenced to five years in the State Penitentiary, but sentence was suspended. Later he came to Portland, where he was arrested for stealing bicycles and served one year in the County Jail. He had been re leased only a short time when he forged FECIAL!

Anderson, who declares that to be his true name, although he admits having adopted the alias John Dugan at times, was released from McNeils Island in April, 1906, after serving a sentence for making counterfeit dollars. Anderson served a part of his sentence at Salem during the time that the state had a con tract with the Government for caring for Federal prisoners and It was during his Imprisonment at Salem that Anderson met young Kuhn. it is suspected that their, scheme for defrauding the Govern ment by making spurious gold money was agreed upon at that time. .

Back of the suit recently filed in the United States Circuit Court by Assistant United States Attorney Cole for the Gov ernment against Mollle Conklln, et al to have cancelled a patent to 40 acres of land 'In Clatsop County, is one of the fraudulent transactions of John A.

He la alleged by Government officials to have agreed with the two women to -.purchase the 9000 acres at i an acre, it being explained that he desired to use the swamp land as a base for the selection of t timber lnd outside 'the reserve. Believing they were signing an agree ment for the sale of the land the two women signed what proved to be an In strument giving Benson a power of at torney. With this authority Benson Is said to have made selections aggregating 9000 acres of valuable timber land, mostly in the States of California and Montana, at the same time failing to pay the orig inal owners cf the swamp land one cent. Since the title to the swamp land had not passed from Mrs. Conklln and Mrs. Reddy, Benson was compelled to make all the selections in the name of one of the two women. One of these selections covered a tract of 40 acres in Clatsop County and it is to restore this property to the Government that the pending suit has been Instituted. Sheriff's Sale Postponed.
