BUSINESS CONDITIONS NOTABLY IMPROVING Alertness of Seattle Favorably Commented Upon by J. L. Bowman. "Portlanders do not appreciate the re vival of buslneaa alnce election ao much as the people in the eastern states, be cause this olty and state did not experi ence tha backset that business did in New England and the middle west" said J. L. Bowman, proprietor of the Browns, ville Woolen Hills, who returned yester day from a trip -to New York. 'I met one man on the train who is a manu facturer of car wheels, and who em ployed 1200 skilled mechanics tip to one year ago. He wat out taking orders ana expects to open hla plant again on January 1. 180. . By that time most aU tha industries which were shut down during the recent period of depression will be running full blast The clothing factories, and It is acknowledged that this country has the best in the world by far, are running full handed, with more orders than can be turned out upon schedule time. Every business man east of the Rockies knows thta the return of business confidence baa been moat nota ble. They all appreciate It, and will soon feel more decidedly the .reflex ef fect of industrial awakening. "The best advertisement Oregon has, however, in New York and other large centers of population, is her apples. People pay at the fruit stands 16c for one and 5e for two of the fine speci mens of Oregon apples, and dealers are proud to announce Oregon as the great est producer of apples in tha United Rtatea. 'Thera is stlU another advertisement of- this section that our commercial bodies would do well to correct, because i It stands it crlves a wronar lmDres- sion.

In a discussion regarding tha com parative standing of the two cltlea w'ltb a group of strangers on the west bound train, I made the statement that Portland was as large as Seattle. "Oh!

Most of the annle growers would be willing to send their disDlays to Spo kane for exhibition purposes, but there remain tne cup nonors xor tne iNorin west aseociation'e exhibit to be dealt with. As soon as a cud is awarded a grower for a prise box of apples the applea become the property of the cup donors. Whether tnese aonors win ds wining to allow the exhibit to go to Spokane remains a question. The matter or tne expense or snip ping the display has not entered into the dispute, as the Willamette Valley as sociation has decided that it-will stand the expenses connected with shipping the fruit to and from Spokane. Convention Is Opened. The- sixteenth annual International convention of the Northwest Fruitgrow ers' association was opened this morn ing by president m, u. emitn or wooo River, who introduced Mayor Lane. The. mayor made one of his usual happy welcoming addresses, and told some apple stories that entertained the growers Immensely. He said that on Christmas day, 1852, the early settlers of Portland raised a fund and purchased apples at ! each for his mother to make a pie. - At that time , all the aoDles were brought around the Horn, and It was not believed tho new country could raise gooa apples. Later on mere wera ex tensive orchards but no buyers for the fruit and It waa allowed to rot on the ground. There was one variety, said the mayor, that they called grindstone apples because they were shaped like grindstones, looked like grindstones and tasted like grindstones. They used to hang on the trees from summer to sum mer, never falling otf and would be as good one June as the previous one and no better. Speaking of his efforts to clear up the city of Portland, the mayor said that a city was like an apple or chard it took a lot of spraying to re move bad parts but that It was gradu ally coming around to a high standard. Apple legislation Proposed w v. Kewell reenonded with an ad dress of thanks and ET. L. Smith made his annual report as president, in mis report Mr. Smith recommended that ac tion nn two imDortant matters the amendment to the Porter bill, now be fore congress, regulating the else of apple boxes snd bushels, and the mat ter or pure spray regulation, ns onivi that If tha apple regulation bill went Into effect wentern growers would soon be losing $1,000,000 annually. Professor Balmer of Cle Elum, Wash., spoke on "Horticultural Conditions In Washington," referring to the Yakima, Kittitas, Cashmere and Wenatchee val ley a, and describing each of the local ities mentioned and their advantages. As to Gold Storage. Professor Thornber of Washington college spoke on "Practical Cold Stor age for the Fruitgrower," recommending properly ventilated and constructed storehouses as the most practical stor age for general use, but also telling of other-methods including one acting sim ilarly to a steamheattng plant, primary and secondary colls are used, the pri mary coll being located in the cold stor age and the secondary In the room to be cooled.

' Naphtha Soap,- ' The first thing you notice, when you unwrap a cake of P. & G. Naphtha Soap is the color of it white, ' That shows there is no rosin in it '.. ' . .' Most naphtha soaps are yellow 7-they contain rosin. There is a saying among - soap manufacturers to . the effect that 5 per cent, rosin in 1 soap is all right; more than 5 per cent is all ttrong. Some naphtha soaps con tain as much as $ rosin. Do you know why? Rosin is cheap. That is why. And so we offer this advice: Never buy any other than a white naphtha soap. P. & G.
