Good CoMimosi o? Apples. A. larger
crop than usual is not the only cood
feature oC this year's apples. They are
proving o better quality in Oregon and
Southern "Washington than lor -years. At
tho office of the State Board of Horti
ciilture all the specimens received are
remarkably free from pests. Secretary
Dosch attributes this to both the peculiar
weather conditions and more spraying.
Cool nights for most of the "Summer sea
son have not been conducive to growth, of
codlln moth and scab. But the secretary
believes spraying has accomplished moss
than weather, and the condition this year
can bo repeated eacn year lCthe orchard
lsts desire. Last year there -was more
spraying than usual, but this season the
increased use of preventive sprays is
stjll more noticeable. The fruit la begin
ning to bear evidence of It. At the be
ginning of the year the -State Board of
Horticulture sent throughout the stata
and Southern Washington circulars for
bidding -shipment of infectlfd fruit. Fruit
growers, realizing that they could not
market diseased fruit, nave apparently
been makmr a more earnest effort to 1
eradicate the pests ruining their orchards.
Tho results are very gratifying to tha
members of the board, and they hope
for atill further improvements made.
Mhjtia. CoaMST roa UiaoK-At a spe
cial meeting of the Military Board held
yesterday In the office of AflJutant-Gen-eral
C U. Gantenbeln. application was
received for the organization of a com
pany of infantry at Union. At the present
time there are only two vacancies Jn
the entire Guard, one being In the First
Separate Battalion, in Eastern Oregon,
and the other In the Third Regiment, at
Portland. The board -was pleased to re
ceive an application from the first dis
trict to fill this -vacancy, which will give
the battalion four companies if the
Union company is a success. Adjutant
General Gantenbeln was authorized to,
proceed with the organization, provided
it appeared by satisfactory evidence that
the men bad a suitable armory for drill
purposes and for the .protection of state
property.
Looking for. More LajnuER. Eastern
timber men and cruisers are becoming
numerous about Portland hotels, again,
and Quite a number of Bales of timber
lands have been made within the past
week. The total sales for the past year
would run into enormous proportions, if
gathered under one head, but this could
only be done by obtaining facts and s
ureff from deed Tecords of each county.
Ashland, Wis., Duluth, Minn., and Sagi
naw, Mich., lumbermen are largely rep
resented, firms in some cases naving se
eral cruisers in the woods. By the time
these buyers get through there will be
very few acres of timber land in first
hands in Oregon, Washington or Cali
fornia. Chinesu -Crew Deported. Thirty-three
Chinese, who until lately constituted the
crew of the Argyll, were yssterday sent
by the customs officials to Vancouver,
B. C This Indicates that the Argyll ba
changed ownership, and the new propri
etor does not care to employ the Chinese
to operate his vessel. So long as the Chl
nrso were engaged on the vessel they
were all right, as the customs officials
prevented their landing. They do not
come under the head of merchants, "who
aro permitted to come to the TJnited
States under the exclusion act, and have
to be deported as soon as discharged
from the vessel.
Horses Saved Him. A drunfcen man,
yelling for Bryan, attracted considerable
attention at the corner of Fourth and
Washington streets yesterday forenoon.
He was not molested until he had walked
into the middle of the street and fell Hat
on his face In front of a rapidly ap
proaching team. Quite a crowd gathered
then, expecting to find him crushed, but
tho horses, having better sense than he.
stopped suddenly before trampling on
him. The man was picked up and set
against the curb, where he lay oblivious
to all surroundings until bundled Into tha
patrol wagon by the police.
Coiiino to Huxsboro Professor W. B.
Barnes, of Franklin. Neb., brother of IL
F. Barnes, Deputy Collector" of Customs
in Portland, arrived here 3 esterday morn
ing, having come through California.

principal of tho Hlllsboro schools, and
tomorrow he will go out on the West Side

acquainted. After spending a few days at
Hlllsboro he will go to Ocean Park and
remain there the remainder of his vaca
tion with the fatally of ht3 brother, who
are located at the Park for the season.
BATTiRQAP Man Resigks. A. S. Glbbs,
for the past 10 years cashier for the Ore
gon Improvement Company at Seattle,
has resigned his position on account of
Ill-health. The company sent Mr. Glbbs
to California Tor a few months, but the
trip did not do as much good as ex
pected. Mr. Glbbs for several years was
chief clerk In the O. B. & N. local freight
office at Portland, under George H. Strout,
and also H. A. Moss, "and the railroad
fraternity in Portland especially will re
gret to hear he has been forced to resign
a good position.

ing shipped to Seattle by express. Ore
gon products in this line are par ex

The above cut shows a partial view of the retail salesroom ofc the Ellers Pi ano House- In the new Music Building.
The entire retail salesroom, which covers more floor space than any other wareroom devoted exclusively to the piano and

lighted salesroom in the City of Portland.
A well-lighted, spacious basement Is devoted to -storage. Suitable quarters are provided for the wholesale department;

oarlors for specially fine selected instruments, and here are to bo found, the masterpieces of Chickerlng, Weber and Kim
ball, the three great leaders of the American piano industry.
Every detail and appointment, of this store is strictly in keeping with the requirements demanded by the advance, of the
culture and refinement of the citizens of this city and state, and will, eventually, become the rendezvous of the music-loving
public Strangers- visiting Portland should not fall to make a visit of inspection to these t arerooms. as the assortment of
pianos and organs embraces overythlng that la up-to-date in the -way of fine pianos, organs and self-playing Instruments.

but was, he fears and believes, her sister,-in-law,

EMERSON REPUTATION.
It is not wise to buy a piano on the
testimony of tho eye. or even the ear
alone, for even a poor piano may sound
fairly -well when now. Reputation, there
fore, counts for a good deal. In matter
of reputation the Emerson is second to
none. "Established half a century" cer
tainly means something. It Is not the
highest-priced piano made, but it is the
best that experience, brains and money
can produce. You will find more "piano
value," to the dollar in an Emerson than
In any other made. Call or write. Cata
