To the Editor: The following edi
torial paragraph was clipped from
tho "Oregonl.nu" of the 23d Inst:
"Oregon led tit the Spokuno apple
Bhow and Itogtie Hlver led Oregon.
Portland would llko n chance to eo
and tiibte and Judge some of the
world beating apples It hears about."
This clip Is susceptible of one of
two cotiMtrucllcns: Either the people
of Portlttand cannot afford to pay
tho price of Rogue Hlver valley ap
ples or cIko the newspaper means to
Insinuate thst tho award of prizes at
Spokane was unfnlr and nothing
short of a donation to its press nnd
editorial rooms for immediate con-i-umptlon
would satisfy the editor of
tho Portland paper.
Ignoring tho parsimonious spirit of
this paper, how would It do for the
growers of the valley who have hun
dreds of bushels of under size sound
apples going to waste to donate this
fruit to the several commerclnl dlubs
of tho valley, who could communi
cate with tho provident association of
Portland nnd other cities nnd. upon
their agreement to pay freight, oi
gantze nn army of pickers to gather
up this fruit for the poor, who so
much aeod It? Suppose tho mlnlg
tors, tho bankers, the merchnnts, the
real estnto men nnd others woull
agree to glvo one day's work to this
cniiBc, don overulls and bj nn exam
ple. Aside from a practical charity
deserving the effort, where could the
Hoguo River valley get n bettor ad
vertisement? Who will he the first
to talk nnd talk quick? Respectfully,
JAMES T. DAItnEE.
