Portland, Or., Dec. 15-Oregon's recent apple show was not only a great fruit exposition but it marked thj beginning of a movement to organize the fruit growers of the whole Pacific Northwest on a practical basis for more profitable handling of j their product. President Atwell j included the suggestion in his i annual address, and. as a r esult a call will bj issued by hi.n in the next GO days for a meet inn at Portland where the matter will be gone into thoroughly. Prominent apple growers, rep resenting the various districts, will participate in the formatian of the company, which will be a long the lines of the raisin growers of the Sacramento Valley, the orange growers of Riverside, Cal ifornia, and the pear growers of the Rogue River Valley. Hopes are entertained that the organiza tion to be formed will be a strong factor in bringing about better and more profitable market con ditions for Northwest fruit growers.

MARRIAGE LICENSES l.oorge C Swabb and Si 1 atterson. Chas R Bennett and Zylpha E y ng and There will State Norma except at Monmouth, the institu tion provided by an initiative measure at the recent election. This, is the opinion of W. B. Ayers, a member of the Board of Regents for the state normal schools. The schools at Drain, Ashland and Weston will remain idle unless the legislature makes provision for their maintenance, which is regarded as unlikely by those close to the situation. , The Board of Regents is com posed of the Governor, Secretary of State, Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction; E. E. Bragg, of Union county; C. E. Spence, head of the. State Grange; Stephen Jewell, of Grants Pass; Henry J. Maier, of The Dalles; E. Uofer, of Salem; and C. 'L. Starr, of Salem. The Governor is chair man of the board. A meeting will probably not be called until the latter part of January, when incoming officers who will have charge of the schools may be present. "Undoubtedly the normal school at Monmouth will be the only one maintained next year." said Mr. Ayer yesterday, "as the Legislature made no appro priation for other schools. -The Board of .Regents has no power to dispose of normal school prop erty, and I suppose the schools at Drain, Ashland and Weston will remain idle. The meeting of the board is subject to call of the chairman. I do not think it would be advisable to call a meeting until some time in Janu ary, when all the members, who will have direct supervision of the normal schools will be pres ent. "A meeting in January would also be to advantage, as the Legislature will then be in ses sion, and the board could go be fore that body with matters per taining to the various institu tions.
