said: ),. !.--. . ,-
"I am afraid that I may be accused
of unbecoming Immodesty . when I tell
you that I took th gold medal for a
display of grapes I made at your own
big fair. L took It In competition With
all California, I waa aucceesfuL not
because they were grown by ma but
aimply because they were grown at
Lewlston.
"We have exactly the right climatic
conditions for the proper maturing of
th beat table varieties. We .have th
advantage in many hours more aunlight
during the growing season than have
the Callfornians, due, of course, to our
more northerly latitude. Th fact that
we are the 'farthest north" In possi
bility of grape culture gives us an ex
clusive market and consequently a big
profit. I know one man whose net
rrofit for nine years from 14 acre was
54.000.
"We vineyardists felt the need of this
new road to Portland. Ws have seen a
market . here which . was open to ua but
all unexplotted because of. absence, of
direct and rapid ran communication, i
suppose there is not a ' live - Jobbing
house in Portland but who ha seen a
market for the goods at Lewlston but
which the trafflo conditions forbade
them entering." .

BIG CHORUS DOES
Those who were privileged to attend
the big choral rehearsal, at tb Heilig
yesterday afternoon have already en
tered into the. spirit of the coming mu
sical festival. Borne 800 voices sang
out. the strains of the three oratorios
and cantatas to be presented the last
of this week when the Chicago Sym
phony orchestra Is here, and they sang
insplrlngly under W. tL Boyert baton.
The various sections of ,tb- chorus
ar well balanced and : many .of --the
nromlnent Drofesslonals may -b seen
fending thefr aid toHhe cause and up
holding their secUons.,;he chorus has
been well drilled and sings well to
gether, with attention to details of fin
fsh. Most Of the tim yesterday was
spent on the numbers that need final
uii.hiiir hut these roush bits- served
I to show how well the singers must do
on the easier numoers.

It -would, be hard to find one-In three
who Is not familiar ' with-all its music
"Fair Ellen," - Max Bruch's charming
canuta is well sung and the chorus
roes with a swing that befit the work.

choi-us is most pleasing ana suows'ine
