PIONEER APPLE
GROWER RETIRES
Final Payments Are Wade for
Famous Property Owned
by M. 0. Lownsdale.
PRICE IS NEAR $300,000
Creat SOO-Acre Tract and Crop of
16.000 Boira Pa; Into Xew

' Davis I Advised.
TTIth th receipt yesterday of the
nl payment on the transaction that
transferred his famous 3-re apple
nrctard at Lafayette. Yamhill County,
to a company of Michigan capitalists,
Mt:iard O. lwnsdale. the pioneer or
chard mn of iron and the founder
of tne -rai applRrow1nir Industry In
the Northwest, retired from B'-tlve, Ufa
and hereafter will devote his entire
time to the peace and flule of Ills
home and to the enjoyment of the
urrrsi that he has earned.
Although Mr. Lownsdale Is allent aa
to the financial consideration which the
deal Involves. It Is understood that the
purchase price Is close to UoO.000. Ti
tle to the property remains with the
Lownsdale Orchard Company, a corpo
ration of whl-h Mr. Lownsdale waa the
president and In which he waa the
principal stockholder, he having held
all but two or three shares of stork.
The stock alone chanares hands. The
110 crop of apples also has been sold.
Ill health la riven as the cause of his
retirement.
Pcssimlsts Are Defied.
Mr. Lownsdale was ' virtually the
pioneer of all later day apple arrowing
la the Willamette Valley. When he
planted hla orchard 51 years ao apple
arrowing In that section waa almost a
lost art. The possibility of growing
applea there often had been denied, even
the pioneers of the valley having- con
cluded that it was not possible to pro
duce the wonderful results that had
given the valley a great reputation be
fore the fruit pests appeared.
lie took Isnua with this belief and re
memberlrvr the magnificent apples grown
by hla father, by the Llewellyn by the
Waiting and by hundreds of others,
planted an orchard of V itm. The sie
ves of his planting le known all over
the Cnlted Slates and England, and this
Year as far away aa Brazil. The work of
ilr. Lownsdale has re-establieilied the
applegrowing Industry In the great val
ley reaching from Portland to Kugene.
Not only did he devote the bee years
of hla life to building up this Industry,
but In season and out of season he
preached the theory that the ami re
sult could be obtained all over the valley.
He, more than any one other man. has
been instrumental In establishing this
belief.
Hla orchard ba been a material demon
stration of hla Ideas, thia year crowning
bis success with a record production of
75n boxes. The crop, which had been
Md to the EmtI Fruit Company, la in
volved In a separate deal, the purchaser
of the land continuing the contract.
Eminence Is Recognised.
Tor many years Mr. iownadale has
been looked upon as an expert in the
apple Industry among fruitgrowers etfrry
where. Although be will be relieved of
the responsibility of managing his own'
affair, he ways that he will continue to
lend the benefit of his experience to
other for the upbuilding of the Willam
ette Valley. He now has In mind the
establishment of a market for handling
the fruit of this region and hopes to
perfect the organisation "of a Willam
ette Valley Fruitgrowers" Association, the
object being to provide a common chan
nel for the output.
"If I can accomplish that." he said lae
night. -I hall lcel that my life work
ha been done."
The Lownsdale orchards have been
productive principally of Ben Davis
apples, although Baldwins and Spitx-
enbergs have been grown. In recent
years acrea have been grafted with
S'ellow Xewtowns. He also has cross
grafted many tree, producing Improve
ments on these varieties.
But Mr. Lownsdale Is decidedly par
tial to the Ben Davis.
Bon Datls Apple I'ralix'd.
"Many times." he commented, reflec
tively, last night, "have I wished that
each of my treea was a Ben Davis.
This apple, on the red hills of the Wil
amette Valley, la a profitable as the
fctpitiennerg In the Hood River district
or the Wlnesap In the Wenatchee coun
try. "I often have been asked for advice
about the planting of varieties, and aft
er many years of close attention. I
onlv can say that in the Willamette
Valley I would not go outside the Ben
IvU. the Borne Beauty and the Oano.
Other varieties, no doubt, will fare bet
ter In other districts."
Because of his Immense output Mr.
Lownsdale had to pay close attention
to the handling Of hla crops and for
thla purpose he perfected machinery
which no other apple grower of the
world has need, and which enabled him
to wssh. separate into five or six
sixes, to sort as to varieties or to qual
ity Into boxes and to stack up Into hla
Immense warehouses 2540 boxes a day
without bruising an apple and with
the minimum force of workmen.
Without such machinery the crop
could not have been handled.
In the Lownsdale warehouses today are
more apples than ever have been gath
ered under on roof before, the entire
crop of T5.0CW boxes being ready for
parking.
in bringing bis orchard to Irs present
state of excellence Mr. Lownedsle spent
many years In th study of fruitgrowing
In all Its scientific phases. He has stated
that it required three years for him to
learn how to us a microscope properly,
lie also has given murh time to th
study of diseases of trees and of con
ditions which retard the development of
tn fruit, to nearly every case he has
triumphed over the enemies of nature,
and hla present magnificent orchard,
which, at the age of 21 yeara he as
serts, la Just entering the prime of Its
usefulness. Is a monument to his perse
verance and hla success.
Oregon Future Apple Center.
That Oregon will he the future center
of the apple-growing Industry of the
world. Is Mr. Lownsdale- firm belief.
II pointed out last night that the cli
matic conditions here were superior and
that the treea in the Kaat and Middle
West rapidly were dying out- The peo
ple there, he explained, had not mas
tered th scientific principles of fruit
growing. In that they had rot conquered
the tree and fruit pests.
Eventually Oregon will have to sup
ply this present apple-producing dis
trict with Us fruit. Other markets are
opening. England and Ireland are
e'amorlng for Oregon arples and with

LATE WILLIAM F. BUTCHER.
The body of Colonel William F. Butcher, who died In '. Portia nd
last Thursday, was burled at Baker City. Or., yesterday, and hla Inter
ment marks the passing of a noted characte in Oregon s political
history during the past two decades. .
Born in Pocahontas County. Va.. Dec. 12. 1558.-William F. Butches
grew to manhood without the advantage of a college education. hen
a young man. lie left his father s farm In Oreenbriar County, of the
same state. and read law In the office of Governor Matthews at
Lewlsbur. Va. II removed to Saline County. Missouri, in 18.2. re
maining there until 1882. when he came to Idaho. He taught school
there for a year, going thence to Walla Walla Wash, where he . con
tinued teaching, and at the same time studied law In the Office or
Sharpsteln & Snarpsteln. . .i
He was admitted to the bar May 7. 18S5. and located at Athena.
Or. In July. 1900. he moved to Baker. Or., where he had since re-
"'''air. Butcher was known politically as a Democrat, and during his
residence in Oregon was a leading member of that party. He was a
candidate for Presidential Elector In , 1892 and a delegate to the
Democratic National Convention in 189.
During the term of the late Sylvester Ponnoyer. Governor of Ore
con. William K. Butcher was appointed a Colonel on the Governors
staff. He was a candidate for Representative In Congress from the
Second Oregon District in 1902. but was defeated.
Fraternally he was a member of the Masons. Elks. Knights or

this state, and was past grand master and past junior grand warden
of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Oregon.
He married Mrs. Helen W. Co, of Washington. September 4. 1S94.
Until two years ago lie was actively engaged in the practice of
law. but retired from the firm of Butcher. Gorrell & Clifford at that
time becLuse of ill health.
A few months ago ho was brought to Portland for treatment In a
local sanitarium, but his malady had so weakened Ills constitution that
he died He Is survived by his widow and one son, Thomas Butcher.
transhipping, thia market can be
served directly.
South America, he said, also will buy
apples from Oregon in the future, a
heavy shipment to Brazil this year be
ing evidence of this fact.
Mr. Ixwnsdale will settle in a quiet
home in Irvington and will satisfy his
love for nature and the development of
plant life by cultivating- roses. of
which he Is particularly fond and
which he has brought to remarkable
perfection on his Lafayette estate.
The best thing of all my career,
lie said, "has boon the success of the
Willamette Valley. I gave the beat
part of the best years of my life to
building up that, which has ren
very beloved section of country."

HOTEL CLERK GONE
Employe of Belvedere Said to
Be Heavy Borrower.
WIFE MOURNS ABSENCE
V. W. Webb, Popular With 4,Tran"
alent Trade," Sought by Friends
- Who Trusted Him With Cash.
Blonde Woman 3Iculioued.
With a frail wife 111 at the Gordon
Hotel mourning his absence, and pos
sessed of a desire to burn the candle at
both ends in grill rooms. William W.
Webb, hotel clerk at the Belvedere,
corner of Fourth and Alder streets,
known to nearly all the transient trade
in Oregon has disappeared and no one,
Is able to find him.
Friends are unable to explain his dis
appearance, and an expert account
ant has been employed by Theodore
Kruse, proprietor of the Belvedere, to
go over the books which were under the
supervision of the missing man. Mr.
Kruse said lsst night that Webb whs
expected to appear for work Tuesday,
but failed to do so. While Mr. Kruse
did not think then there waa anything
wrong, when another day passed he con
cluded that the Incident should be in
vestigated. Apparent Irregularities wero
found, he said, but he did not think that
Ms loss. If it were a loss, would exceed
J00.
Attaches of the house said that Webb
had been Indulging In high living and
that he frequented other grills than the
one In which h worked and that he waa
In the habit of having banquets with spe
cial friends. Several election bets were
placed in his care. One amounted to
9o: another to 9140 and a third person
Is said to hav given him to make a
mortgage payment. Mr. Kruse declared
that he had no knowledge f Webb's per
sonal affairs. It had been reported to
him that the missing clerk had bor
rowed money from his friends before he
disappeared end it was his understanding
that these friends would secure the re
turn of the missing msn He did not
propose to report the case to the police
department, he said, until It became ne
cessary. Webb had been In th employ of Mr.
Kruse four years snd held the same posi
tion In the hotel four years before Mr.
Kruse bought It.
Mrs. Webb is prostrated, although un
aware that there Is sny suspicion exist
ing about her husband's financial af
fairs. Webb before coming to Portland
was a Pullman conductor and lived with
hla parents in St. Paul before his mar
riage. Webb's shortage and debts sre
said to asgrsat SlOuO.
"I cannot understand." said Mr. Kruse
last night, "why Webb disappeared. He
was retained here because of his ex
treme popularity with the customers of
the place. They all knew and liked him."
Coupled with the stories concerning
Webb's disappearance was the descrip
tion of a woman of blondlne type in
whose company it was said he was seen
Often In downtown grills.

iWill End
This Week
A record 85 per cent greater than for
the same period last year. A hur
ried description of Player Pianos
including the latest of Pianola
Pianos and others yet to be had at
the reduced Emancipation Sale
prices. 6ome old-style Weber
Pianola Pianos and two Autopianos
received in part payment for the
very latest Autopianos to go now at
less than half price.
This week will end our Player Piano
Sale. The assortment is becoming less
extensive, hut It H not yet too late to
secure one of the latest of
Pianos, or an Apollo Player Piano ..some
.Milton Player pianos, and some Knahe
Angelus at the immensely reduced
prices heretofore announced.
During the past few days we have
alt.o received In part payment for our
latest Autopianos aome of the older
models of Autopianos and also eyeri
Weber pianola Pianos. When their
former owners, who have now become
enthusiastic player - pianists, saw the
many Improvements contained in our
newer Autopianos, they Immediately
determined upon owning one of them.
We sold these new player pianos upon
our little - profit - per - piano policy.
Therefore we were able to get tne old
Instruments in exchange at much less
than the usual valuation. We are
therefore in position to furnish these
old Weber Pianola Pianos and Auto
pianos. as well as a Hohmer Cecillan.
and a Knabe Piano, at less than half
price. Two years ago these instruments
were considered the highest develop
ment that could be reached in player
piano making. Even today they will
answer every purpose In many a home
for vears to come, for, after all. It takes
years of enthusiastic devotion to music
to come to an appreciation of the very
highest forms.
We still have for sale some very fine,
and the very latest Pianola Pianos, and
every one of these must be closed out
before Thanksgiving day. Two very
fine riteck Pianola Pianos remain, as
well as three splendid Weber pianos.
In regular $550 and $650 etyles of the
Pianola Piano we present tomorrow
morning every catalogue style. But
there are no more at our wholesale
department, and when these are gone
no more wll lbe available at these
Emancipation Sale prices.
If you are not prepared to. pay all
cash, then pay us one-tenth of the price
In cash and take as much as two years'
time to finish paying the balance.
This has been the greatest selling
event ever held since player pianos first
were made. You will surely buy a
player piano now. either one of the
styles that we are discontinuing, or on
of the later, more highly improved
Autopianos, or other player pianos
which- we now are introducing in Ore
gon. FOR FRIENDS OF THE WEBER
When the manufacture of the Weber
Piano was under the supervision of Mr.
C. B. Lawson, it wae entitled to the
foremost place among the several highest-grade
pianos made In America. But
Mr. Laws'in left the combine, and he is
now making his own pianos. Since
then some radical changes in the con
struction of the Weber Piano have been
made. We are discontinuing the repre
sentation of Weber Pianos, and are
therefore closing out at reduced prices
every catalogue style of the Weber,
grand or upright.
All are belngViold at 77 cents on the
dollar for grands, and 73 cents on the
dollar for uprights.
Our easy-payment plan applies to
those not wishing at this time to pay
all cash.
Manv have purchased pianos of us of
late, bur eales In Portland on October
15th were 85 per cent (creater than dur
ing the same fifteen days of last year.
These low prices are establishing for us
these new records. You will help us
make a still greater record if, before
th eale closes, you will only Investi
gate what we sre now offering. Store
