; No hearing of the matter baa been
; held so far, and it -waa thought better
to aee what the companlee would do of
their own accord before making the of
ficial order. It la believed by the mem
bers of the commission that the many
caaea of negligence on the point have
been the fault of aubordlnatea rather
than ' of the managementa, and If the

, claimed that the cara are often aent In
the aame condition that they were left
by their laat cargo, with the floor cov
ered with filth and v no aand provided.
This work haa to be done by the ship
per at his own expense, and sometimes
he haa also to add certain repaira to
The laat complaint la from Albert
Jacluon of Welser. Idaho, who waa
ehlDDliir stock from Huntington. Ore
gon, to Portland. He alleges that the
' cara arrived In the same condition as
they were left by their laat cargo. He
asked the company's agent to attend to
the work, but waa told that nothing
could be done, aa the men were off duty.
At last one man came to assist him, for
which he waa charged (2 extra.
The circular, to the companies re
quests them to attend to the matter.
If there la not an improvement a hear-
in r of the case will be held, and if
, the charges are proven the order given
above will be lasued.

are expected to be high this year, buyera

been here the paat few days report that
they cannot get a line on what winter
apples will cost them thla year. Aa the
time ia approaching to dispose of the
apples controlled by the Hood River
Apple Growers' union It was expected
that some inkling as to what the fruit
would bring would be forthcoming. Last
year's top price of $3.15 a box for Spita

reached. Newton Pippins are expected,
nowever, to sell Just aa high aa they
- did last year and even a trifle better.
The 1801 price waa from $2.00 to $2.60
per box. Other varieties are expected
lo average higher and the general aver
age, which was In the neighborhood of
$1.40 for everything that was sold, It Is
believed, will be higher. From 175 to
190 cars, or about 100,000 boxes. Is the

most appropriate. It Is a beautiful
timepiece and bears the following In

preciation for saving Effle Gordon from
the Columbia wreck July 21, 1007."
Effle. who la two yeara the aenlor of
the girl to whom ahe undoubtedly owea
her life, handed over the watch in per-
aon and neither will aver forget the Im
preaaive moment, nor will thoae who
were present Effle'a mother who was
also a passenger on the Columbia, has
not been heard from since the wreck
and It Is feared that she was among
tnoaa wno went down, although at one
time it waa reported that she had been
saved.
A few days after having been brought
to Portland on the ateamer George w.
Elder from Eureka, Miss Johnson re
ceived a charming butterfly pin atudded
with precious stones from an anony
mous giver. In appreciation of her
pluck. The Jeweler who sold the pin
did not learn the donor's name.
Besides the Gordon girl Miss Johnon
saved the life of Ola Pearson who had
been thrown Into the water without a
life preserver and waa golnr down for
the last time when he grabbed hold of
the girl, who Is a good swimmer. The
three drifted about a couole nf hnur.
before being picked up by one of the
boats.
