Mr. Miller mentioned the fine trans

to Sheridan In tha near future and
added that this would assist largely tn
Sheridan's fruit Industry. The ex

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. Peo
ple from other states who ssw tha
Sheridan Appla Show remarked that It
waa the best exhibit of apples and
pears that they had ever seen, and tha
conditions under which the fruit, waa
raised made them marvel at Its uni

Rer. John Boyd Speaks Before 300
Sunday School Workers.
rW are bringing up a generation
void of the consciousness of God. 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."

MastmiecUne to Bo Held by All East

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

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

No Man is Stronger
Than His Stomach
A strong man is strong all over. No man can be
strong who is suffering irom weak stomach with its
consequent indigestion, or from some other disease
of the stomach snd its associated organs, which im
pairs digestion and nutrition. Far when the stomach
is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition
contained in food, whioh is the source of all physical
strength. When a man "doesn't feel just right,"
when he doesn't sleep well, has aa uncomfortable
feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despond
cot, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength.
