A Mivcrign a bushel for foreign apples in I'eluuary is rental k abje. to sny the least.

Kiiftern Statics Nun town Pippins packed in barrels, tho best that could lie sent trotn these centers, have sold for as much as -lis a barrel the hiirh- ost price secured this season for New town s in barrels. Hut what is that sum to a is u liusliel. equal to tiis a barrel? This wonderful dill'erence is not ultoiiotlier due to variations in quality. Tlie small clean, bushel-box put kugo plays an Important pait in respect to in ice. hen wo first advo cated the use of the lionchatt;cable bushel-box by homo apple packers. the question of cost was at once raised as an objection against its use. liut that is of no account when the extra prices secured by its use ami the decreased cost of transit are con sidered. The foreign irrowers now nd us over UkUUluO bushel boxes of apples ouch year. I heir use is found remunerative by them. The prices, that have been made for apples al ready this year ate without parallel in tho trade. Hut yet (lie foreign fruit grower does not dominate the situation in this respect exclusively. British apples have also been sold this year at IDs a half, equal to 20s a bushel, and if tho fruit had been collected and especially graded and packed like the Oregon fruit, it would lim e intuit) higher ju ices still. Months ago we gave tlrst ami exclusive news of tho actual collection and purchase of these Oregon fruits in the Scots man. Wo shkI that they had been bought at 10s a bnuhel In the orchards of Oregon. Well, a 10,0(K) bushels were secured, it is clear that largo profits had been made on the deal. At the time we announced tlie pur chase, tons of home grown apples were a drug ut Is (id and 2s a bushel. These facts prove that the demand for best apples in the Hi itish markets is practically insatiable at high val ues, even in seasons of abundance. With so much land available in the four kingdoms, it is a pity that apple planiers are not more busy. As the result of these high prices a front impetus will lie given to home produce iii.ln.'l i...j U'l... t'..,.:- :.. iniiiini iipn, un, II Ull,-i;ri)WIIIU IIIOVD- ment has done much good to country cultivators, and tho prospects for ex tended production aro certainly pot ter than ever. Cold storage lor home grown apples will prove of undoubted value to all connected with tho busi ness. As far as the grower is con cerned, it will enable him to prolong tlie season at a time when tlie best prices are realized. With a vastly Increased output bv home (.'rowers. the use of nunchangeuble, standard ized boxes and coldjstorage, thtwtpring apple season can be made most 'luora- ' and Hit port ant.

A Japanese work man heard him cry, and ran to him and pulled him oil' the truck before tho next car caught him or he w ould have been mangled still more.

C. Stone, repro- Renting the board of tiro iuauxunu umlerwrilera of Portland, regarding what sort of a water system would be needed to assure a reduction in in surance rates. II. K Davidson of the Hood River Klectric Light, Power and Water Co. called the meeting to order in the absence of C. T. Karly, president of tlie Commercial club. Mr. Stone wan introduced aud out Ji 1 his plan as follows : lie would recommend a reduction of I.i per cent provided there wtta a system of wafer works in the city with a reservoir having a reserve capacity of 7. it i. (Hit I gallons; a ten-inch pipe leading from the lcsorvoir and eight inch mains in the buHnosw part of the city. Tho city would hnvo to be supplied with at least 21 hydrants; two hose carts having 750 feet of two inch hose; two companies of volunteer lire men of members each anil a supply of hooks and ladders in addi tion to the chemical engine. All brick buildings within fiOO feet of a hydrant would receive an addi tional reduction of live or ceiit, pro vided they wi re within rut) feet of a hydrant. Mr. Davidson of the water company then stated that he will put i'l these improvements provided the business men vv ill sign an agreement to pay GO or ii i per cent of t heir insurance sav ins.' to the water company, and pro v hied further the city would contract lo take the system of hydrants olf the hands of the company at cost with interest added. Frank A. Cram expressed himself as favorable to anything that will re duce the lire insurance iu Hood Kiver. He would bo glad to pay 50 per cent of his saving in insurance to the water company. Mr. Cram is de ei doily in favor of lire protection. Judge Henderson would riithor pay out. all the saving In order to havo (lie (Ire protection and iisHiired safety. Strangers often ask about lire protec tion, remarked Mr. Henderson, and tho lack of it operates against nun with capital to locate in the city. Mr. Davidson stated that the reser voir could be erected below the spring into which there would be a flow of 150, UW) gullon per day. , The resur- voir could be tilled In one and one half days, lly careful calculation the buisness men of Hood iiiver are pay ing $12,0(1(1 annually In premiums to the insurance companies, said Mr. I htvidsou. A motion it was decided that there be appointed a committee of three, one by the council, one ly tho water ciimmit tee ami these two commit teemen to select a third th'g cnmtiiiltee to mako a thoroimgh in vestigation of the proposition under discussion and report ut a future meeting. K. U. Iliatlley wanted to know why the city couldn't votn on the ques tion, and bond the town for the ex pense of a water system. Niiriiiini Williams Weakens. When Norman Williams was told that his case would bo argued before the supremo court March lf, there was ,t el atipe in the appearance of the man who ht.s kept up a bold front for the ' ten mouths ho lias laid in jail urt'er -i ntcnce of death for the murdi r of Alma Mosl.it. When the news was broken , Williams showed more nerv ousness than he did on the day when tho death sentence was pronounced. Then ho was stolid, morose aud appar ently unconcerned about bin fate. 1 ho pa.-t few weeks, however, he has not been well. Close conllnemont and menial strain are apparently telling on him anil tho fact that the dachas bet n set whim the court of last resort hull hem' his case and determine w let la r he shall stiller the death pen ill y, or go fulfil a free man unstrung his nerves, Ile realizes, of course, that if tlie supreme c.outt reverses the lower court on the question raised by his attorney that of iusuflicient proof of Ihe death of Alma Mesbit another conviction cannot be had, hence a reversal is equivalent to an aequital. The case will be argued before tho supreme court by District Attorney Menefce and Attorney (leiieral Craw ford for the state, and by Hon. 11. K. Me' linn for tho defeuso. District Attorney Monetise says that if the lower court hi reversed ou the ques- ti if corpua delicti, the stall will have no ease and all that will it . aiu for him will be to dismiss IU. c.tso, mil set the defendant tree, for a it c oml conviction would be impossible if the stale were compelled to produce Ihcih'ud body, or erove by direct testimony that, Alma .Mishit waH dead. However, shoultl this result, it doea not nuan that. Williams' troubles are at an end. Ho has been indicted by Ihe federal grand jury on a charge of forgery, aud a still morn terious 'hat.i) may be lodged against hi in. Ho ti tty yet be tried again for murder if he should escape punishment for tht murder of Alma Nesbit. It is be Loved that a strong case can lie made aiiain-t him on the charge of murder ing his wife ut liellingham. Wish., in l-Vbrimry. !'!.
