under continuing contract, if
wasteful construction is to be avoided,
was the opinion ol the two committee
members, who accorded with the view
of Colonel Roessler announced before a
meeting of the Chamber ol Commerce of
Portland Friday night. Colonel Roess
ler advised further that money should
not be diverted from the bar project,
by insistence on sums of money for
other improvements on the river, lar
ger than are necessary for maintenance
of present work and slow construction.
This plan is opposed by Representa

Celilo project more important than the
bar project, at least to the upper Co-

bat seemed to be extravagant in
vestments iu Imported sheep and goats
have caused rpple growers to do some
figuring. A well known apple man,
who is an authority on this subject, in
talking about the matter, said:
"At the prices this year for the dif
ferent elses of Spltsenberg, which were
$3, 12.70, 12 60 and $2.25 per box,
growers obtained an average price of
$2. -10. Placing the yield of 7 year-old
Spitxenberg tree, planted IIS trees to
the acre, at five boxes to the tree, we
will get 85 boxes to the acre. A 20
acre orchard on this basis will produce
tt.ollU boxes, which, at the avenge
price of $2.40, gives us $15.tt00 for our
season's work.
The prices for Newtowns so far an
nounced are I.' zo, iz and 11.70 per
box. This gives us an average of $2
per box. Hat the Newtown Is more pro
line than the Spitzenherg, and produces
seven boxes to the tree instead of five,
giving us 65 boxes to the acre, or !,100
boxes for a 20 acre orchard. As can
easily be seen, the earnings on a 20
acre Newtown orchard this year at
these prices will be $18,200.
While these figures are Urge, they

Mr. Jones and Mr.Ransdell said that

Tyrant of Russian People Succumbs
to Heart Disease.
St. Petersburg, Sent. 17. General
Dmitri Feodorovitch Trepoff, command
ant of the Imperial palace, 'died at tt
o'clock Saturday evening in bis villa at
Peterhof of angina pectoris.
General Trepoff, whose name is in
delibly linked with reactionary repres
sion in Russia, was a remaikable man.
He was a natural despot, a tryant by
inclination, education and conviction.
He was one of those men who have con
stantly appeared in Russian history,
jnst at the time when conditions were
most promising for putting an end to
despotism, to tnrn the Russian rulers
from liberalism to reaction.
It was he who became the guiding
spirit of the reaction after Nicholas II
had issued his manifesto in the fall of
1905, promising the people a share in
the government. Holding the position
of master of the palace, in league with
the court intriguers who were deter
mined to restore the old regime, he
constantly had the emperor's ear.
Denaturized Alcohol Plant.
Portland By January 31 there will

for the purpose is secured. This state
ment was authorized by J. B Laber,
secretary of the board of trade, who
says the board has been working on the
proposition for some time, but cannot

until the preliminaries are arranged.
