I Hood River. Or.. Auk S More and ; practically complete Information In re ward to the spple crop 'from all parts Of tho United Htatas and Canada re ceived here given added Indication! that Oregon should receive a highly profit able figure for Its apple crop this year. It Is stated, hoeei. ly apple nun who ere well posted, that eastern buyeis re to some extent standing together ' this yeur in tho hope or securing the fancy coast box apples for prices that will be less than crop conditions war rent. There Is no question, they say. of the superior Quality of this year's crop, both in Oregon and Washington, 1 and of the fact that It ought to com-, tiliind high prices i Kn far eastern buyers who have been t Hood River have refused to discuss '. rices for this year. They claim that thoy paid too much money for applets lat ?ear and for that reason will not contract for any crops until later. They . admit though that they must have fancy 1 western box fruit and have been hold ing off until a complete report could b received from the apple growing dis- tricts of the United States and Canadi. , Crop Decrease la East. The reports Just received show that the crop In the Hudson river valley and other joints in New York state, con- . sldered the biggest factor In price mak ing for high quality apples, is ajily average. It la reported as being Biignt- ly more than that of last year but far. below, that or l'JU. In tho New England states the crop j llrht one. Maine reports a yield or nnAmuartar of last year s crop, and : nnsvlvanla 60 to 76 per cent of a full ' crop In some sections ana out Ji in others. Michigan, a big competitor In: the apple market, reports a much small- I er crop than last year, while Ohio and j West Virginia will have practically no ! Winter apples. Keporta from Illinois, say the outlook Is for a fair crop In the western part of the state, and almost a failure or not over 10 per cent in other sections. Fifty per cent is the estlmat given for the crop In Iowa. la the Middle West. Th crop In Benton countv, Arkansas, which undsr normal conditions ships more apples than any county in the United States, will be but 10 to 15 per cent of a full crop, and It Is estimated j that not over 25 cars will be shipped i this year from this great apple-growing; j district. In other parts of the slate the I crop is reported as practically a failure. Reports from all parts of Missouri show a light crop or almost a total . failure. The Ozark fruit belt in tills state, which last year alono shipped 40, 000 barrels of apples, does not expect to ship out over 2,500 this year. Kan sas reports are for 25 to 50 per cent of a crop. Colorado reports a 20 per cent crop in the Grand Junction district, with but 10 per cent in others. . ; New Mexico has a 120,000 bushel crop , In the Pecos valley and Utah also re- , J0rts a full crop of fine quality apples. ; JU Watsonvllle, Cal., a 8.000-car crop Is reported, which Is only average for that district as tltls is 600 cars less ' than was shipped from there In liu6, . tut a much heavier shipment than that Of 1907. ? i 1 The Pacific CVipe. i " "In the northwest states a good aver- ' age crop la reported from Idaho. In Washington, Weriatchee expects to make a bigger shipment than last year by i K0 cars, while that at Yakima Is re- ?orted to be In the neighborhood of J.- I 00 cars as against 650 last year. In Oregon, Hood River will lend all other ' districts with a 400 tn BuD-rar rron: , jjedford, Ashland. Graits Pass and other southern Oregon points are ex tweted to furnish 300 to 400 more, while the Willamette valley, eastern Oregon and the smaller apple growing dis tricts in the state are thought to be food for 300 cars. In all it is expected h.'it from 1,200 to 1.600 cars of fine quality apples will be shipped from the atate this year. Record Shipments. Tills will constitute the biggest ship ment ever made from Oregon, but no apprehension Is felt in regard to prices on that account. In fact it is expected that the light crop generally over the United States except in Oregon, Wash- lngton, Idaho, T'tah end California, will make better prices for apples in these i states than was ut first expected. In addition indications are for a strong: demand for apples for export purposes. As competitors for the latter honor the i cropK of Km a Scotia and Canada are j the only districts that cut much of a I figuro this y ar. Reports from there, I however, imii.-.tie that the crop ylll not, be any larger than last year. The pros pects for the export trade have, also I been strengthened by hot weather and j other c.vtses. w hi eh have seriously af- ' fecteil the aprle crops in Kngland and on the continent, and authorities on tho Kurooeun demand for American ap-X-les predict that it will be fully as good as it WHS Inst yfir Preparations are being made to han dle Hood River's L!g crop by the erec- iion m a cn,,i storage plant by the if ' r .1 A V , -7 MS BEVY OF FAIR BA.THE'Rci I ; .t'wil 1 ! inam...iin i T.taJk.. aVJ-"""l anaa.aaia.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiaaaa...aaaaaaa.aaaaaaa a-- i.- - aa i . . , , . . . , C 2 i i rr h Nnr: . , 1 : rr-- n I ' y:vii : i : x;: ff, SA; rxlH-r , rwTKl. .f I-:Cr- - i -iVA, :vl-' VJSKfTsii' "1 cJ jsi c !f ' - i r J ' JS AasrwaaMa3 Lae"V j DOIG THE HIGH. DIVE "Mother, may I po out to nwlmr "Yes, my darling daughter. Hang your clothes on a hickory limb. But don't go near the vfater." There are mothers and mothers, just the same aa there are girls and girls. There are mothers who won't permit their daughters to step into anything less placid than the family bathtub. and there are mothtrs who insist that thtdr daughters learn how to bravo the waves and depths of the Willamette. As a result of this latter Insistence there are hundreds of girls and women swarming the various bathing places In the city. Soma of the girl bathers are adept swimmers, some are fairly good, but the great majority are unable to eto more than lounge in a two-and-half- l'oot pool. These are the ones who need the counsel of an experienced swimmer, and for these The Journal has inter viewed Miss Millie A. Schloth, the premier woman swimmer of Portland. Miss Schloth Is a physical ctilturlst of wide acquaintance and a swimmer of great versatility. There is little con nected with the art with which she is not familiar, and 11 Is safe to say there are few Indeed of the sterner sex who can cleave the water faster or perform tricks that are fancier. Here is what Miss Schloth has to say concerning the teaching of young girls and women how to swim: "There are several reasons why It is harder for women to learn how to swim than It Is for men. . First among these reasons I ahould place self-con-Bclousness. It Is next to impossible to convince a girl that she is not the only creature In the world. She is con stantly thinking of her clothes, won dering how her pretty bathing suit will look when It comes out of the water. She hates to get her hair wet. She Is a perfect fright when It Is wet. Fluffy Won't Perserera. 'The average Fluffy Ruffles hasn't perseverance enough to make a good swimmer. She takes a few lessons, tho novelty wears off and Fluffy decides that she can look Just as attractive tn the surf and on the sands without knowing anything about th4 breast or side stroke or diving. "Then again we find many, young girls who kep thrlr nerves screwed up to a tension that mkea relaxation Impossible. They are afraid to let go of themselves and cannot become good swimmers with all the muscles tense In their resistance. "It la n curious f.-iz-t, that awkward, pelf-conclous girls am poor swimmers. Rut the graceful girl, the girl who Is musical Is sure to be confident and strong in the water. There seems to be rhythm In the action of the body in the water to which tho girl with a musical bouI makes Immediate response. "Do I consider It advisable for girls to know how to swim? Most assuredlv. Every girl should know how to take care or nerstur tn tne water; rtrst n.i a mattr of self-protection and self preservation. The girl vrho knows how to do things is the girl with that rare quality presence of mind. If she knows how to swim, If she knows how to run and climb, and can walk long dietanoes without being exhausted, she not only 1s sure to have a healthy body but a healthy mind. Every Girl Should Know. "Every girl should be taught com mand of her bodyond swimming Is the best exercise for Tfils purpose. She loses fear when she Intrusts herself to the water. The sense of power that comes to the successful swimmer is worth all tho effort It takes to learn. The exercise tones up the skin and a healthier, clearer complexion Is the re sult. And last, but not least. It Is such fun. "About dlvlngT" Not every woman oan learn to dive. Here nsnln oomes in the question of fear. With some It affects the ears, and in others the head. Beginners want to come to tho surface too quickly. A good diver - gives her body time to adjust itself. A poor diver arches the back 1n the effort to reach the surface before the full mo mentum of the diver is exhausted. Im mediately there Is heavy pressure of the water and the back is strained. "Which stroke do I find the easier to teach? Tho breast or school Btrokf, although the side stroke Is preferred by tho majority of swimmers. I think the reason for that Is the more com fortable position of tho head. One Is not so opt to swallow the river. It looks easier and la more graceful. "When should one learn to swim? When one is young If there Is the op portunity, but one should not allow age to prevent her learning. I have been swimming about seven years and I was several days past my lflth birth day when I began, liut all girls should know how to swim. First Diva Remembered. "I shall never forget my first dive. I was quite sure I was never coming up to see daylight again. Rut there) is no sensation equal to that which a good diver experiences. She goes 1" tho end of tho springboard and poses for the plunge. Hhe knows she has control of the river rushing along nt her feet as long aa she can control h self. The sense of power in hr fall command of her own body Is well worth all the time and trouble of learning. "I might have learned several years sooner than I did had I known a sim ple means of preventing water from rushing Into- the head through the ear". Some people are not bothered, but mot of us are. I never go in unless I ha o my' ears stuffed with cotton saturated with vaseline. The vaseline serves to make the cotton impervious to water and thereby saves the swimmer from much annoyance. There is absolutely no danger from the oil seeping into tho earduct." WAGE WORKERS WILL VOTE FOR W. J. BRYAN Portland Labor Leaders.

"vTTint are the serious objections to Mr. Taft from the union labor voters?" Mr. Lea bo was asked. Flads Out Too Xjavts. "Foremost." he answered.

II. Gruni, president of the state federation, all agree with Mr. Leabo In his opinion of the situation. In the same line Mr. Harris discusses the situation about as follows: He says that in his belief Bryan will be thj choice of the laboring men much more Generally than Taft. He does not be leve that Oompers undertook to pledgd the labor vote to Mr. Bryan, because he had no right to do so. He had a per fect right, however, to advise, urge and exhort fer Bryan nil he chose and 'wlll have great weight with the labor vote because of hie position and his well es tablished honor and Integrity. Mr. Harris said he did not recall many Instances of labor unions having Indorsed Mr. Bryan but he has no doubt that many will de so on the strength of tho Democratic) Injunction plank. Mr. Harris says that many laboring men will vote for Debs aa they have done before that many would favor Hlsgon because of the friendliness of Hearst to labor and the party's strong platform, and that some would undoubt edly vote for Taft, as for ex.iir.ple. the steam shovelers' union, which he re cently Joined. FISIIERWOtfEN ANGRY merce." two Yankee vessels had carried cargoes to and from Nagasaki. Their voyages were typical episodes of the era when Salem shipmasters were the first to fly the stars and stripes from the uncharted coasts of Sumara to the unknown islands of the South Seas. It was In 1799 that the ship Franklin. owned In Boston, and commanded by Captain James Devereaux of Salem, won the historical distinction of being the first American vessel to find a friendly greeting in a harbor of Japan. Two years later, th ship Margaret of Salem. Captain a. O. Derby, fared on a like er rand. Excepting: a handful of Dutch traders, these two ships visited a land as strange and unknown to the outside world as was the heart of Thibet a dozen years ago.
