THERE is a little joker in the freight rate reduction on applet). The' rate for 100 pounds is reduced from ifl.GG to $1.50, but a charge f ten cents a hundred is added for storage in transit ship ments. Many shippers in car load lots, store apples at such places as Buffalo, New York and Tulsa, Oklahoma, and hold for a favorable market, making a quick delivery with no extra charge. Hut under the new tariff there will he a charge of virtually 5 cents a box for such privclcgc, which reduces the net gain in''rate to such shippers to only :i cents a box. " This reduction will not satisfy the apple growers of the north vest, nor is the Hi cent reduction a hundred sufficient. Therefore, the fight for lower rates to the Atlantic seaboard will have to con tinue, until a genuine reduction, free from jokers, is secured.

Ye Smudge Pot f Arthur Pwry A TOO LOQUACIOUS ADMIRAL. a1;-: A reform imitator Iiy the name of McLaren, wuxed too strong eveu for the Willamette valley. In hln war against nubile dunces at AlcMlnnvllle, Oregon, and wan waltzed out of town to escape Immersion In the village pond. The gent took In ton much ter ritory In his allegations of Immorality, and secure! t- much reverse English n the hysterics. Ex-Senator Goorgo K. Chamberlain has been named a member of the ship ping board by the president, In spite of the fuct that the jr. sen. hud an eastern Oregon operator of a threshing machine picked out for the job. D.MIIiAfj SIMS talks too much. AVIietlicr his opinions on the ish situation are right or wrong, he is in no position to ex press litem. The tluty of an admiral in tin; I'. S. navy, is not to (Miter politics, not to express opinions on ticklish internal ion.'d questions, hut to stick to his ship. Admiral Sims made his first mistake when he wrote a hook. It was a good hook, hut that only made mat terse worse. For literary suc cess invariably (joes to the head, and at no time since the publication of the hook, has Admiral Sims appeared intellcctually,sobcr. A sc ries of magazine articles with his pictures sprinkled liberally through tin; text, only'added to the distemper. As a result, trouble in London was almost inevitable. For in Lon don Admiral Sims is more than a naval lion. For naval lions don't roar, lie is it literary anil social lion. Jt was his role as literary lion, that let loose the floodgates of indiscretion. So the situation has assumed a crisis in Admiral Sims' career, lie must decide whether be is to be a figure in politics and literature or a figure in the United States navy. He can't he both. If be finds difficulty in deriding, Secretary of the Navy Denhy will have to de cide for him. Home years ago.

They're whiskered mid frowsy, they're not up to date, they always are drowsy save when they orate, save when they are kicking because of some tax, and wearily picking the' burs from their backs.
