High Cost of Living Though Per haps They Are Mot Stylish. (United PreM fosses Wln.)f New Tork. Nov. 15. AVI 11 New Tork rs ever corn to, wearing wooden shoe? Zf they are really anxious to reduce the high cost of Hying, they will. Tho ' United States Forestry Bureau, boost 1 lng for wooden shoes, says they cost I only (5 or 75 cents a pair and will easily last for .two years. And It would be only a repltltlon of history, at that. In the days when this was New Amster dam, our ancestors wore wooden shoos. While It might ' be an Innovation for upper Fifth avenue or Forty-second treiti for Instance, the clack-clack of , wooden shoes would certainly be noth ing new for Bowling Green, the Battery, . "Whitehall and Greenwich. After all, why not? Everything; Is a matter of custom. One must get used to everything? Could the sight of" pretty woman stepping down Broadway ' In wooden shoes be any more of a shock than was the first silt skirt, or Initial minaret gown, or even the premiere hobble? A poke bonnet would certainly get an audience on Fifth avenue today and hoop skirts would call out the re serves, yet our grandfathers thought they looked natural enough. The movement In favor of returning ,: to wooden shoes was launched recent ly by the Forestry Bureau and the of ficials are said to anticipate an lra ' men a boom In that brand of foot-wear as soon as the Idea has had a ohance to percolate through the country. "These shoes," said the report, "cot from 65 to 75 cents a pair and will last two years. Already they are find ing favor with those who have to work in cold and damp places, such as tan neries, breweries, livery stables, ice plants, also by workmen In steel mills and glass factories, who must walk on hot grates or floors. We expect the farmers to be tho next to become their users." The bureau devoted other paragraphs to the belief that eventually wooden shoes will come into general usage throughout the United States. Of course there are many persons among the 90-odd millions in the country who are not farmers and who do not work in cold and damp places or walk on hot floors. These may be slow In embracing the Innovation, because of the undeniable fact that the wooden shoe Is not grace ful In shape and stylish In appearance. There again comes the argument that style is but a matter of getting used to It If everybody wore wooden shoes, they would look graceful and stylish. There Is no denying that they are com fortable. Against this argument Is the unde niable advantage that an entire family could be shod with wood for what it now costs to equip one member with leather shoes. Besides, one must re membef how long they last and what is more Important their style will al ways be the same. Of course, the Idea has several indefatigable nemeses the shoe manufacturers, the shoe dealers, the antl-nolss crusaders and the bootblacks. . . .

The tree was enclosed by a fence by Colonel McOnnnegle, commander of the First Infantry, Tjnlted States army. At a dinner party in honor of officials of the Hudson's Bay Just before their departure from London for Fort Vancouver, a young lady playfully placed her apple seeds In the pocket of the gentleman sitting at her side, and requested him to plant them in the new country for which he was sailing. Tha seeds were carefully planted under the watchful eyes of Governor John McLaughlin. One uf the seeds germinated and the sprout of a promising apple tree the first apple tree on the Pacific Coast soon made its appearance. After several years It bore one apple, which, when ripe, was picked by Governor McLoughlln and carefully cut Into seventeen slices, and one precious slice of the luscious fruit was served to each person at the governor's table. The next year the tree bore twenty apples, and It is still living and bearing fruit The first account of this historic tree was written by Mrs. Marcus Whitman, in her Journal, on her visit to Fort Vancouver in 18SJ, when the tree was about ten years old. .

IN Eighteen Hundred and Twenty-bix on London s famous strand, On the eve of their departure for Oregon's distant land, Hudson's Bay officials sat in festive banquet room, With wives and mothers dear, and sweethearts in their bloom. They drank long life to ladies bright, And to their lovers tall; While glasses clinked and laug;hter light Rang round that stately hall. Fair Kate unto her lover true, Then blushingly did say: "These magic apple seeds take with you, When at dawn you sail away; And, that they may be a sign That you will love me evermore, Pray plant these true love seeds of mine On far Columbia's fertile shore." And so Love's apple seeds were carried to this far western slope; And here they thrived and prospered beyond the lovers' fondest hope; In far away Vancouver Fort, to Indians' wondering eyes, A lordly apple tree soon flung green banners to the skies. Its offspring now are scattered wide O'er the broad Pacific coast ; Their luscious apples are our pride, The orchard's queen, the poet's boast. Their choice fruit they are lending, With cool shade for you and me; While thousands we are sending To old London o'er the sea. So now we bless the lady fair, And bless her lover tall, Who planted here with tender care, Sweet apples for us all. .
