APPLES TO THE FRONT.
There are few, even of our own
people, who realize the magnificent
proportions our fruit industry is
about to assume. The yield of ber
ries and small fruits has made "Wasco
county famous, Hood River . taking
the lead of all 'other sections in
strawberries, but there being a large
amount shipped from Hosier and
The Dalles. But it is not to the
small fruits that Wasco county looks
for future fame and finances, how
ever valuable they may be, but to
the king of fruits, the first mentioned
in sacred history, the luscious tempt
ing apple. Commencing at Hood
River valley and bearing around by
Hosier on to The Dalles and then
south to Dufur extends the finest
body ot orchard lands in the state.
It has not become famous for the
quantity of its fruits, for that it has
not, but the quality is of the very
best. The quantity will come and
it will come shortly. That is the
part that even our own people are
most of them ignorant about. In
the district named a quarter of a mill
ion young fruit trees are growms,
many ot tliem just coming into bear
ing. Within a few years they will
all be furnishing fruit for shipment,
and at one bushel to the treer which
is a modest estimate for trees in the
second year of bearing, the grand
total would be 250,000 bushels of
apples.
In the meanwhile on every band
ground is being cleared and trees set
out. What the result will be can
easily be seen. In five years from
now Wasco county will ship more
bushels of apples than it does novv
bushels , of wheat, and in that time
the fruit industry will jump from al
most the lowest place in our list of
exports to the first place. It is as
tonishing in view of the vast possi
bilities of fruit growing, that so
many of our own citizens have neg
lected the opportunity to acquire
fruit lands, and are still letting the
golden hours pass by. People from
the East are availing themselves of
the opportunities we are neglecting,
and are laying the foundations of
future wealth.
There is no branch of agriculture
so pleasant as that of fruit growing,
and none so profitable, and when in
& few years from now the trains and
boats take out half a million to a
million dollars' worth of fruit each
year, there will be many a person
now living here who will regret the
opportunities lost. There is plenty
of land yet, but our more energetic
and thrifty neighbors of the East are
rapidly acquiring it.
AN IMMENSE PLANT.
In keen competition between man
ufacturers lies the realization of low
prices to the consumers. ' It has been
truly said that competition is the life
of trade. It is of importance to the
public then that there should be keen
and sharp competition in all branches
of business. In this connection we
note that John D. Rockefeller has
purchased a site at Chicago and will
erect mammoth iron rolling mills,
'which it is said will cost $10,000,000.
It is claimed that he will be able to
undersell Carnegie or any of the
other rolling mills in this country.
The inexhaustible iron ores ot the
Mesaba district can be landed from
the lake vessels right at the plant,
and fuel is both cheap and conven
ient. .
It will be some time, of course,
before Rockefeller's plant will be
ready for work, and in the mean
while it is not necessary to congratu
late ourselves on getting cheaper
iron or steel. There still remains
for both Carnegie and" Rockefeller
that mutual protective plan of form
ing a combination or trust. , It may
be possible that some means may be
found by; which the operation of
trusts may be overcome, but so far
the laws seem to be insufficient to
cope with them. Mr. Rockefeller
does not have the reputation of being
in business for his health, and it is
quite probable 'his plant will not fur
nish steel to the public any cheaper
than those already running. If he
can manufacture more cheaply, his
profits will be that much greater.
Mr. Rockefeller will get the benefit
instead of the public. It is only a
human attribute to acquire more
than one needs, but it being human,
humanity has no . kick coming, no
matter how much Mr. Rockefeller
makes, so long as he does, not make
an unholy alliance with other manu
facturers to cinch the public.
