McKinley Monument
The McKinley mausoleum, which
was dedicated by President Roose­
velt October 7,
stands on an
eminence to which has been given
the name of Monument Hill, about
two miles <It«» west of tin McKinley
home in the city of Canton. It is
not an ornate affair, but its sigiplicity
is relieved by sufficient artistic em­
bellishment to make « it an object of
beauty, as well as one of massive
proportions and breadth of design
Four states have contributed a
share of the tn aerial which has been
used in the I inkling of the monu­
ment.'* The granite used in the ap­
proaches and the mausoleum proper
are from the quarries of Milllord,
Mass. Tennessee has furnished the
gray marble for the interior of the
tomb, while the sarcophagi, which
now hold the bronze caskets in which
1 ie the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Mc-
Kinley, are ol tlark green granit»*

At the next meeting of the mau­
soleum trustees, custodians will be
chosen, and it is the intention to ask
for the indefinite detail of soldiers of
the regular army tQ guard the tomb.
The architect was H. Nauburen
Magonigle, of New York, and the
designer of the bronze figure stand­
ing before the mausoleum, was
"Charles Henry Nichans.
Mary, who died in infancy.
Huge doric columns are placed
around the interior in such a manner
as to appear half buried in the sides
of the building. The floor is of
mosaic marble, having been brought
from many states for the purpose.
Half way down from the top of
the 125 granite steps that lead up to
the main entrance on the south side
of the mausoleum stands an heroic
bronze figure of President McKinley
representing him 111 the attitude
usually assumed when speaking, his
left hand holding a roll of manuscript
and the right baud in the trousers

bionze chair encircled with a wreath

“Choice apples will command
high prices the coming winter,” said
a commission merchant today.
“Oregon is fortunate in having a fair
crop of the fruit this year, though
the output is, of coutse, under the
normal. It is the eastern demand
that will this year make a firm
market here for all varieties of winter
apples.
“In the Atlantic coast states for
the most part in the middle western
states and even in the Rocky moun­
tain country, the apple crop is short,
and consumers in those states will
have to look to the Pacific coast for
a good pail of their needs in the
apple line.
“Good Kings, which are about
the best apples in the local market
at this time, are worth $1.65 a box,
and it is no trouble to sell them at
that figure. 4 believe it is safe to
predict that they will sell for $2 a
box within two weeks. The market
is now short of good apples, and
the chances are that there will be a
scarcity for several weeks, and when
the regular winter shipping sorts
are ready for the market there will
be so great a demand for them in
the east that they cannot be ex­
pected to sell cheap here.
“Spitzenbergs and Spys will

hardly sell here for less than $2 a
box, and it is altogether possible
that they will command a better
price titan tliat when the market for
the winter sort opens and the fruit
begins to move.
There are now
some apples on the local market
that sell for less than $1.25 a box,
but they are hardly a factor in the
market.
The demand for even
such as these is such that they do
not stand long unsold.” Oct. 10.
A number of administration organs
pinched by the exactions of the tariff
fed paper trust have finally joined
in the demand that the tariff on
paper and
wood pulp
be
repealed. Certainly it should be,
for it has no other effect then to put
a premium on the destruction of our
own forests and enrich a few
pampered tariff barons. Bfft when
these administration organs have
suceeded in ridding themselves of
a tax that the foreigner does not
pay, will they kindly come to the
assistance of several millions of us
who are compelled to pay, the tariff
tax, that the foreigner also does not
pay, on shoes, clothing, hats, thread,
nails, wire, sugar, lumber, coal, oil
and its by-products, leather, cordage
and numerous other things? If the
tariff on paper and wood pulp
pinches the newspaper proprietors,
how can they deny that the tariff on
other things also pinches the people
who must purchase those things?
