REGULAR PORTLAND LETTER
Oregon Apples Win Honors
At National Show
0 DEVELOP PORTLAND STOCK MARKET
Oregon Has Only Known Herd
of Ibex Existing on this
Continent
Portland, Ore. Nov. 30. State
pride ran high during the past
week because Oregon apples won
the grand prize at the National
Apple Show at bpokane in com
petition with apples from all over
the United States. Tronson &
Guthrie, growers of Eagle Point,
Oregon, were receiving congrat
ulations on all sides over their
success, and the victory was such
a splendid one that the whole
state took pride in it. The Rogue
River Valley, of course, is enti
tled to all the honor for it grew
the aDDles. but fruit raisers of
the whole state feel proud of the
victory.
Tronson and Guthrie captured
the sweepstake prizes at Spokane
on a car of Spitzenberg apples
and the victory carried with it,
in addition to blue ribbons ana
medals, a check for $1100. The
decision of the judges in making
the award was unanimous.
The growers have only five
acres in bearing orchard and had
not expected to exhibit at Spo
kane. It was not until a large
Dart of their crop was marketed
that they decided to enter a car,
No particular selection of the
whole crop was made for exhibit
but Only the best of the apples
remaining in the orchard. Of
course these were carefully cali
pered and selected with reference
to size and color.
Other Oregon growers won
prizes at Spokane and the victor
ies show in a most tonvincing
way that this state is the home
of the finest apples.
Concerted efforts to develop
the Portland livestock market on
a big scale have been begun dur
ing the week by livestock men of
the Northwest in connection
with the railroads in the matter
of more favorable rates. A con
ference was held between a num
ber of representative stockmen,
the management of the local
stockyards, and the trafic man
ager of the railroads centering
here. Uniform livestock rates
that will be of great benefit to
this market as well as to the
stock raisers throughout the
territory are expected.
Oregon dairymen are showing
great interest in the annual con
vention of the state association,
to be held in Portland December
9 and 10, and the attendance
will be large. Many prizes have
been offered for the best showing
of dairy products made at the
convention and the exhibits will
undoubtedly be the best made in
recent years. The creamery
companies of the state are offer
ing prizes and the Portland Flour
ing Mills offers a purse of $100
to go for the two best exhibits.
The Portland Commercial Club
will give a reception Thursday
evening, December 9, to the
dairymen and members of the
State Horticultural Society.

According to W. R. Parker,
Baker City, who has been in the
city during the past week. Ore
gon has the only herd of ibex
known to exist on the continent.
le discovered the rare animals in
the vicinity of Mount Eagle in

Unless this is done, Mr. Parker
fears the ibex will be extermin
ated by hunters.

Monmouth High School Notes
The students are intent upon
their lessons in view of a test
soon, but nevertheless, we may
hear an occasional remark of some
brilliant pupil, which we collect
and entitle as follows:
WISE AND OTHERWISE.
Teacher: "What is a phrase?"
Mr. C; "A phrase is a sen
tence that don't mean any thing. ' '
MissW., (In Physics,) "When
insects walk on water, why don't
their feet go under?"
Prof. C: Because their feet
don't wet the water."
Teacher: "How many marbles
will it take to make a square
having twenty on a side?"
Charles: "Sen."
Miss Shore: "I can't see that
statement"
Prof. Clark: "Well, that is be
cause you are so small."
MissG. (In Phy. Geog.) "A
volcano is accompanied with a
very loud noise like thunder."
Charles: "Oh thunder, the
real thing?"
