J. L. Bowman, proprietor of the Browns,

more orders than can be turned out upon

soon feel more decidedly the .reflex ef

"The best advertisement Oregon has,
however, in New York and other large

People pay at the fruit stands 16c for

The matter or tne expense or snip

Convention Is Opened.
The- sixteenth annual International
convention of the Northwest Fruitgrow

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.

Kellogg Nails Archbold to
Figures Eogers Fur-'
nishedfnl897.
4 Called Press teased Wire.)
ork. Deo. g. John IX Archbold
resumed hla tlace on tha witness stand
today In the Standard Oil hearing, under
cross-examination by Attorney Frank
B. Kellogg, who represents the govern
ment. i ; :- A :'
KeUogrs reference to the testimony
of H. It. Rogers in It 97, when he said
that the Standard then controlled PS per
cent of the oil business of the country,
precipitated a three cornered argument
between Kellogg, the witness and Ros
enthal, the Standard's attorney. The
latter declared that Rogers meant only
that percentage of tho refineries.
That would Involve the same per
centage of . production, : wouldn't It?"
asked Kellogg. , " ;
Arr.hhnid seemed to : understand too
little of tha oil business to enable him
to solve Wis prODiem. Viuestiona per
sistently put to him by Kellogg failed
to nut him on record aa affirming Rog-
ersT statement.
Over the objection or his own attor
neys, Archbold was compelled to read
lntn tha record extracts from hla testi
mony before the industrial commission
of 18J8, showing the percentage of do
mestic oil business done by the Stand
ard from 184 to 1898, Inclusive.
This statement snowed an increase
from 81.4 per cent to 88.T per cent
"Asaumlnsr that tha business in 1894
amounted to tl per ent, why did your
company acquire tne renneries wnicn
you testified to havt taken over In
1895? Kellogg asked, !
Rosenthal Interrupted the answer by
inquiring what refineries were referred
to. .. . :-, '
, Texas Oil Interests. y
In the afternoon session yesterday
Kellogg asked Archbold: ;
'Did you ever hear of the Security OU
Ce have heard of It," answered
the witness. ... , ,
"Did you ever hear of tha Commercial
Trade & Investment company r queried
Kellogg.' .',-
"I don't know that I ever did." was
the response,
"Don't you know that It was tha same
as the Security OU company of Texas T"
asked the inquisitor. . '
Attorney Rosenthal objected on the
ground thst the question was not crosa
examlnation, and Kellogg said: ;
"My object is to find out what com
panies the Standard waa secretly oper
ating In this country."
Kellogg then drew from the wit
ness the admission that W. O. Bayne
of the Seaboard National bank waa
president of tire Security OU company
Of Texas.
Referring to the Corslcana Refinery
company of Texas, Kellogg asked If
Archbold knew that the property waa
built with funds of the National Transit
company, the transportation adjunct
of the. Standard Oil. although tha appli
cation of tha funds appeared on tha
books as a loan to Mr. Bayne. '
The witness replied that he did not.
A few questions concerning the status
ef ths Wtrs-PIrce Oil company In its
relation to the Standard brought forth
evasive answers, with the evasiveness
supported by poor memory. The wit
ness had only a hasy recollection con

That L. M. Esra, 1658 Macadam street,
who works fn the Rlvervlew cemetery,
had gone craxy as a result of his
Thanksgiving dinner was the report
turned In .at the police station by one
of his neighbors yesterday. A patrol
man was dispatched to the home of Mr.
Ezra and arrested him, reporting that
the man waa demented.
A night In jail, however, proved that
he was more drunk than insane, for this
morning Esra was feeling as well as
ever. Aside from a slight headache re
sulting from a protracted sprea his head
did not seem to bother him. He was
discharged by Captain Bailey.

It is estimated at. over 1.000,000. .
No Rosin in It
' . .1 . -"'.
Nothing ' tut high grade soap
and naphtha in P. & G.
' 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. Naphtha Soap is
white- there is no rosin in it.
