Return Would Reduce . High

(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.

Old apple tree at Vancouver Barracks which grew from seeds planted
by Governor McLaughlin and his daughter In 1826. 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. .
Criminal Charge Dismissed.
The charge of defrauding the Seward
hotel out of $182.45 against Albert T.
Baker was dismissed by District Judge
Jones Friday because the evidence
showed that Baker had made no at
tempt to remove his baggage rrom the
hotel or escape paying the bllL Judge
Jones Informed tha hotel people that
they should take civil, not criminal,
means to collect the bill. Baker said
he Intended to pay when ha could.

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. .

mah street to tho O.-W. R. & N. right
of way was advocated as a feasible
plan for giving tha northeastern quar
ter of the cttyT adequate park, facilities,

tion was made that the enlargement
of the park by taking In blocks to the

expenditure that the voters would
profeatoly be not willing to authorize
