SANDY, Or., Oct 11. (Special.)
At the district fair held here
John Kenneth Scales, son of Mr.
and Mrs. J. Scales, of this place,
received the highest score in the
eugenic contest The mark
ing was made by Dr. W. H.
Barendrick, and is as follows:

sociatlon have been of small conse
quence. Local growers pay their pack
ers more money than in any other
Northwestern fruit district However,
a few disgruntled men have made de
mands for higher wages. In such cases
their packer's stamps and credentials
have been taken away from them and
the harvest goes on unabated.
While the recent announcements that
the United States'.Government has of
fically criticised the alleged misnam
ing of brands of fruit by Northwestern
agencies, the local officials say that
they have not allowed the announce
ments to give them any worry. "In
deed," says Mr. Sieg, "we have not
taken . much stock in stories to the
effect that the Spltzenberg must be
called the Esopus."
Local horticulturists have got down
their books - by high authorities and
have found that the name Spltzenberg
is synonymous with Esopus. Accord
ing to Beach's works on New York
apples, the first official recognition
the far-famed apple had was in 1817
at Esopub, Ulster County, New York.
The horticultural work says that the
Esopus Spltzenberg, commonly known
as the Spitzenberg, Is first mentioned
on that date, although trees of it had
been found scattered in all parts of
the New lork apple district
Names Held Synonymous.
"The names Spltzenberg and Esopus
are synonymous," says E. L. Smith,
who was lor many years closely id en
titled with the Oregon Horticultural
Society, of which he was president
