REGULAR PORTLAND LETTER Display Oregon Apples At Spokane Show FARMING DEMONSTRATION TRAIN TO RON One Hundred Dollars Offered For Best Bushel Oregon Grown Wheat Portland, Or., Sept., 28: "Ore-' gon apples will be well represent ed at the Second National Apple Show at Spokane November 15 20," said Rev. II. Rice, manager of the apple show, who was in Portland during the past week. "While the crop is generally much smaller than last year, the quality is of the very best and growers in all parts of the state are showing the keenest interest in the various contests. While' the first apple show was an un expected success, we have assur ances that the second exposition will be even more so, as the growers want a chance to exhibit their choice apples In comparison with fruit from other states and the prize list gives an opportuni ty for every apple raiser to com pete. The contests, include car loads, ten boxes, five boxes, sin gle boxes, barrels, jars and plates with cash premiums ranging from $1000 sweepstakes in the carload classes down to $3 for a single plate of five applesr' "All the railroads have united in giving a rate of one-and-one-third fare for the round trip to Spokane during apple show week and also allow visitors to go by one line and return via another. The National Apple Show dates give growers an opportunity to exhibit at local county fairs and apple shows such as those at Al bany and Hood River and then have plenty of time to ship to Spokane and win additional honors and premiums. I have been in many of the fruit growing districts of Wash ington and Oregon and in nearly all sections the report is the same a small crop of fine quality. A farming demonstration train will be run by the 0. R. & N. Co. through Sherman, Gilliam and Morrow counties in October that is expected to aid the farm ers of that section of the state in the more intelligent cultivation of the soil and in improved farm ing methods. Lectures will be delivered by agricultural college experts, who will be on the train and demonstrations of farming practice will be made. Dr. James Withycombe, director of the Oregon Experiment Station, will be at the head of the party of lecturers and the train will really be an agricultural college on wheels. That the passenger train ser vice on the 0. R. & N. between Portland and Huntington has in creased 150 per cent, in the last six months is the statement of General Manager O'Brien. This shows the remarkable gain in passenger travel throughout the Pacific Northwest. From two trains daily each way between the two points named six months ago, the railroad company has found it necessary to increase the number of five daily in each di-1 rection. Much of this added travel is of course due to the A. Y. P. fair but a large part of it is attributed to the increase of population in this state and the influx of new settlers. One hundred dollars is offered by Phillip S. Bates, secretary of the Oregon Threshers' Associa tion, for the best bushel of wheat grown in Oregon. An additional $100 will be divided as secondary prizes. All exhibits should be shipped to The Dalles, Saturday, November 27, where the entries will be judged and prizes award ed. The contest will make a wheat show that will be held in connection with annual conven tion of the Oregon Threshers' Association, December 2 and 3 at The Dalles. There is no entry fee and all entries should be sent forward in standard two-bushel grain sacks, with the grower's name attached and stating where the grain was grown. Mr. J. F. Powell left last Fri day for a two week's stay at the Bosweil Springs, near Drain. Prunes are coming to the drier at a lively rate the last few days. Mr. A. Lewis and wife, of Nome, Alaska, were visiting in this city Tuesday. Mrs. Lewis is a granddaughter of Mrs. D. Stump. One of our citizens exclaims: "The beautiful showers! the fruit ful showers for this Webb Foot country!" The earth certainly was thirsty and the rain will be very beneficial. Miss Maggie Herren and Frank Gray were united in wedlock, Wednesday evening at the home of Rev. W. A. Wood who per formed the ceremony. Mr.' and Mrs. Gray will live at Tillamook where Mr. Gray has charge of a sash and door factory. C. F. French, publisher of the Falls City News got his hand caught in the press last Saturday and received severe injury. It was fortunate that the press was running at a low rate of speed otherwise he would probably have lost his hand. However report says that a few days healing will enable him to resume work again. In this issue will be found the card of W. A. Tucker, who has concluded to continue in the real estate business in this section. Mr. Tucker is fitting up an office and will be ready to do business by tomorrow or next day. In tending purchasers will find Mr. Tucker a pleasant person to bar gain with and one who will treat them fairly in all respects. The News is in receipt of a copy of the Monmouth Herald, edited by D. E. Stitt, a former Spring field citizen. The Herald was formerly owned by W. T. Fogle, who succeeded in making it one of the newsiest weeklies in Polk county. Brother Stitt will surely do his part toward giving the cit izens of Monmouth a good, live paper. He is not only a wide awake newspaper man but one whose moral and intellectual in fluences will be appreciated by the good citizens of Monmouth. Success to you Brother Stitt Springfield News.
