FOREST GROVE
Easterners who have been compelled
to button the top buttons of their over'
coats the last few days, are in their
glee, but the Oregonians say they want
rain. The high east wind which has
accompanied the cold snap is not even
appreciated by the easterners. The
thermometers have been registering all
the way from 30 above to 15 above.
The roads are frozen solid and ex
tremely rough. Fact of the matter is,
this is not Oregon weather and who
ever is to blame for it had better look
out.
Henry Schmale, who resides near
Watt school house, was in town Satur
day and left at this office a Yellow New
ton apple grown on his place, that for
size and looks is just as good as any
to be found anywhere. This apple
was taken from a tree 4 years old which
bore only 5 apples this year. Mr.
Sc iraale siys that he believes the ap
ples grown near the creek are better
and larger than those grown on the
higher altitudes for they get more
water.
