SPOKANE, Wash., Nov. 22.--Tronson
& Guthrio of tlio llogue
River valley have won further hon
ors for their valley by taking first
prize for their 3-box exhibit of Spitz
cnbergs in the western special exhib
it, when their apples were placed in
competition with hundreds of exhib
its from western states Oregon,
Washington. Colorado, Utah, Ne
vada, Montana, Idaho nntl Califor
nia. This victory means as much or
ino ro than winning tho swe'epstnkas,
for tho enr met 13 competitors, the
3-box exhibit nhndreds.
The Rogue liiver valley easily out
ranks other apple growing section-;,
if the way they carried off prices is
nny criterion. Their winning ore:
Tronson & Out brio, sweepstakes
for car lot exhibit.
Ashland, second prize on 10-box
exhibit of Spitzenbergs.
Ashland, third prize on 10-box ox
liibit of Newtown Pippins.
J. A. Westerlund. second priw on';
plate display of Newtown", among
12 competitors.
Lawrence Gregory, first prize for
orchard scenes.
From ti concensus of opinion
Charles .Pope of Ashland would
have won a high place with his car
of yellow Newtowns but late arrival
made it impossible for him to unwrap
hi fruit.
Trouuni & Guthrie' car seored
02.S5 out of a possible 100. They
fell down i n their paefc, for if thi
hail been eipinl to that of ome of

would have been easily 4 per eent
