The ohlef object of. the meeting of tha Hyland Fruitgrowers and tha apple show was to revive the Interest of every Sheridan rancher and to deter mine the varieties of apples and other fruits which were best adapted for cul ture In this country. Mr. Miller, who for a number of years was president of Oreron Agricultural College, recom mended to the fruit and apple-irrowera of Sherldsn the plantlna of the Tellow Kewtown Pippin.-Spltsenburg. Graven etetn and Rome Beauty as the apples best adapted to the Sheridan environ ment and he told of his personsl ex perience and arlentlflo experiments with Sheridan soils and conditions, which were tha basts of bis conclu sions ' - Sheridan was heir, ha said, to many peculiar and advantageous features which were destined to make It tha premier apple and fruit aectlon of tha Willamette Valley: depth and shot character of the soil and high elevation, combined with Ideal water and air drainage, are advantages which Sheri dan own. be said, and a dally sea breexe which minimizes fruit-tree dlsesses and pests "Sheridan fruit, and especially tha apples from our section, will always find a ready market on account of tha fine keeping qualities of our fruit. Mr. Miller declared, "for tha growing sea son of tha hill landa Is from three weeks to a month longer than that of other sections, and tha fruit Is delayed In Ita maturity, making It a firm, well preserved product, which will reach tha New Tork and forelg-n market In aa rood shape ss when It was picked from tha tree. Blooming and maturing Is delayed until lata In the growing sea son and as a result there are fewer crop failures In our fruit than In most sections; cherries and prunes especially are favored by this features of nature, and the late rains can do no damage to the bU'lllng cherry and prune trees; strawberries mature In the Sheridan country at least three weeks after those of other section and their keeping qualities are superb." FTmlt FTwsa Deserted Orchards. Tha most peculiar feature of tha apple show was that every exhibit of apples and pears was from old. neglect ed orchards and trees, where disease bad had full away and the trees suf fered neglect and abuse; apples and pears were exhibited that would com pare most favorably with the fruit of sections which hare commercial-bearing orchards, been reared amid sclen tlflc surroundings and treatment. Sheridan baa 10.009 acres In plant ed orchards adjacent to the city, but very few acres of bearing orchard are aa yet In evidence, and scarcely any products from the young orcharda were exhibited. Sheridan baa nearly tha total planted acreage of Hood River, and the com ing Winter that country will bo passed In planted acres. Many flna speci mens of apples and pears were labeled "found In oak grubs neglected." Crapes, pears, apples, prunes, plums, peaches and walnuts were all present In profusion and some flna specimens exhibited, while corn 10 feet high and potatoes over a foot In length snd weighing over three pounds were not uncommon: sugsr beets weighing 10 pounds and better and carrota of enor. moos si is spoke wonders for tha bot tom land of Sheridan. A fig branch with the maturing fruit attracted a lot of attention, and the fruit waa the first seen In this vicinity. The apple show and lectures hj horti cultural heads promises to revolution ise the fruit snd appla Industry In tha Sheridan country and scientific meth ods of cultivation In the various fruit rulturea will be Intensified tnd fol lowed on with tha assistance of tha Hyland Fruitgrowers' Association.

The Bible haa been excluded from tha pri vate and the public schools and our children are deprived of their right to moral Instruction, eminatlng from the knowledge of God said Dr. John IL Boyd, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, In speaking before 300 Sunday school workers from various parts of Multnomah County at ths First Pres byterian Church Friday night. Dr. Boyd, who made the leading ad dress, took for his subject "The Scope of the Modern Sunday School." "The Sunday school Is tha greatest department in church work," said Dr. Boyd. "Its supreme work Is to teach that the Bible answers all life Ques tions It bad Its rise in England and waa due to tha need to reach hosts of neglected children. Today It meets a most lamentable condition among us. In our schools there Is no dlreot appeal to the souL "We are- permitted to teach Homer, but not David; about ths lascivious Gods of degenerate Greece, but not about tha Jehovah of Israel; the poetry of classic ancients, but not the parables of Christ. We are bringing up a gen eration void of tha consciousness of Ood. And the times are beginning to feel the reaulta of this policy. I have not much avmnathv for the railroads when their employee destroy their I property, for the railroads, through their methods, havs done more than any others to rob them of God. In the midst of such conditions the Sunday school offers an effective medium through which to Inculcate moral prin ciples In the people."

ACTIVE MOVEMENT TO SECURE MARKET GAINS HEADWAY. MastmiecUne to Bo Held by All East Side Push CInba to Help Out the Boosting Campaign. Because ths Auditorium commission has decided not to erect the Auditorium on the Market block, owned by the city in South Portland, as first 'proposed, a movement has been started on the East Side to have the building put up there. At a special meeting of the East Side Business Men's Club yesterday the fol lowing resolution wss adopted: Resolved That a committee of three be appointed by the Kaat Side Huslneas Mens Club, by the chair, to select a site ana start a movement for locatlnr and build in the new public auditorium on tha east side of the river, where It rightfully be longs tn order to accommodate the people. And. tf necessary, to Initiate an amend ment authorising the building of the Audi torium on the east side of the Willamette River. In the center of the dense population of the cltr. to give the greatest good to tha greatest aombec, SO sec seat at the population now residing on the east side L? M?YLepper. one of the directors, aald that a campaign to secure the Auditorium would be started at once. "Mass meetings will be held and an the East Side Push Clubs will be In vited to participate In the movement, aald Mr. Lepper. "My own Impression, from a survey of the situstlon. Is that the Auditorium ought to be erected In Holladay Park, which Is very near the center of population. The East Side might have been satisfied with the market block location and would not havs protested had it been placed there, but the decision to erect it somewhere else, and use the main portion of the money In securing grounds, determined the action of the East Side Business Men"s Club." , EPIDEMIC CAUSE POINTED Cmtralia Doctor Says Ditch Water Is Typhoid Breede.
