much, but this isthe record sale of
land which contained no improvements

farmer to go out of business and' of the
larger farmer to enlarge his holdings.

HONEY SECURED BY TON
VANCOUVER MAX GETS $1080
FR03I BEES IN YEAR.
Former Railroad Engineer Finds
New Work More Satisfactory
Than Holding Throttle.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Dec. 12. (Spe
cial.) After being a locomotive engi
neer on the Oregon Short J-.ino for 23
years, Mr. Christians toook up the oc
cupation of raising honey for the mar
ket, and this year his bees produced
12 tons, which netted him $340 per
ton or a total of $4080.
Part of Mr. Christian's run was
through a country where the bee indus
try was extensively carried on. This
led him to study the culture of bees
and the raising of honey, ande finally
decided to quit railroading and turn his
attention to honey. He located on
Aara Mountain, about 15 miles from
Vancouver, where tue vine maple comes
early In the Spring and the vetch a lit
tle later and the fireweed or eekweed
blooms In" August. These flowers grow
In abundance, hence the location of
Mr. Christians' ranch is Ideal for bee-
culture and honey production.

OREGON APPLES TALK
FRUIT IN XEW YORK IS GREAT
BOOSTER FOR STATE.
Dealers Display Numerous Banners
Telling Where Fancy Apples
Were Grown.
HOOD RIVER. Or.. Dec. 12. (Special.)
Visitors who have Just returned from
New Tork. say that Oregon fruit is re
ceivlng a greater amount of publicity In
the big city this year than ever before,
and that in many sections of the whole
sale district banners are hung advertis
ing tills state's unexcelled apples.
One resident from here, who returned
yesterday, says that he counted more than
30 of these banners In various places In
the wholesale fruit district, in connection
with a display of the apples. Inquiry
developed the fact that the banners were
being supplied them by the house they
bought the fruit from. Several of them
had photographs of their places taken
and lie secured two which he brought
back with him.
He states that Oregon apples, according
to the dealers he consulted, are bringing a
much higher price than those from other
districts in the Northwest owing to their
superior pack and keeping qualities and
that he was told by wholesalers that they
were considered the finest placed on the
larkets of the Atlantic Coasrt.
He was Informed that the Western box
apples that are now being sold are prin
cipally the red varieties which will be
used In the Christmas trade. The New
town Pippins will not be placed on sale
until after the holidays.
