day at Hood Kiver.
Thursday eveui: l'r. Day met
with the uiiedors t t ti e Apple (Irow
or' union and a mm In of the mem
bers to rii.-rr.vM the m lo business in
Hood Kiver, and dm iug a conversa
tion at the Motiht. I loot' hotel made
the statement credited to him above.
"When you consider that this re
mark has I ecu n udo by a man who
has been in the ( ru n it-sinn business
in New di k for lit! years and has
handled nothing tut fancy fruit from
all oer the wo: Id," said E. A. Kranz
of the He. od hiwr Fruit Growers'
union, "you can n uko up your mind
that there is tome value to thin re
" nrk.
"Mr. Day de oti s most of his time
u travelling over tl e country hunting
r the te hint there Is to lie
. und, " cent hit cd Mr. Franz. "When
i ro, he had just como from a trip to
C .liforniii, and was on his way back
ii New York.
"Tide is no place in the world
where they can raise Spiteubergs and
Newtowns of the stu: n high quality
as they can in Hood Kiver valley,
said Mr. Day. Hut growers must
hear in mind that he refers only to
our very best, as our small apples and
a pies olf color are no better than
cheap apples from other localities.
New York city, ho declared, is always
w illing to pay a high price for strictly
fancy Spitzenbergs, but they must be
'red all around,' aa he put it. He ex
pressed himself so often on this point
that it seems he has placed it on my
mind with indellible ink.
"Mr. Day expressed himself as being
very much satisfied with the pack
that the Hood Kiver Apple Growers'
union put up last season, and com
plimented f the growers very highly
for the lino fruit they are able to
raNe. They must not be content,
though, said he, to rest on their laur
als. i'hoy must try to improve each
year. In New York when a merchant
buys a box of apples, the first thing
ho does is to dig down to the third
layer, where he looks for the nigger
in the fence.
"He brought out another point
which the majority of the farmora
hero have not known beforo, that a
box of apples containing !M! to the box
will sell for from fill to 7fo more a box
in New York city than one containing
P2S, and that there is practically a
diU'iirenee of 'Jon a box between the
dilt'eront sizes of '.)(!, ll'i and PJHs,
which is the limit as a four-tier apple
in that or a European market.
lhere are somo people in lloston,
lialtimore, Philadelphia and Washing
ton, I). C, who are willing to pay
fancy prices for fancy Spitzenbergs.
They have been supplied heretofore
from New York with our fruit, and
Mr. Day thinks that It Is welj to let
those people lie supplied from there
in order Hint our people may con
tinue to receive the high prices for
the apples.
"The experience we had In market
lug some of our apples in the west
made us think there was such a thing
us raising too large an apple, as it
was hard work to sell a three and
three and a half tier apples at lis good
a figure as a four-tier, but that
docs not hold good on the Siptzeu
JiorgH. which go to New York, as well
as ou Newtowns which go to England,
for the larger the apple the better
the price.
"There is only one other place in
the United states besides Hood Kiver
and Watsonvllle, where they raise
Newtowns which are (It for the ex
port market, that Is the Hudson
n.,- ,.,m,y ... , i.-itt sieve, ouv
those apples do not compare with

trees are .) and 40 years old, they are
never pruned, never sprayed and the
ground is never cultivated. If (Jod
gives them a crop of apples they pick
them, barrel them up and seud them
abroad, and then kick because they
do not get so much for them as tho
Hood Kiver people.
"Watsonvillo does not raise as tine
a quality ns we do, and they think a
ll'i, or i'iH is a large apple. Mr. Day

"The question was put to him if he !
thought there would ever be an over I
production of Yellow Newtowns in
Hood Piver valley. Ho thought the;
time would come when we would not :
be able to get as good money for :
them as wo have in the last few years, i
but that there would always be a de- j
c and for fancy fruit at a good figure.
"1 he farmers here might better In :
the tuture thiu their apples very
thoroughly, liy so doing they will
raise less apples, but of better quality !
and size, liy so doing they can raise
fiuit which other sections can not do
where Newtowns are grown, as it'
seems impossible for them to raisr i
large apples. This will give us a 1
cinch on the other fellows for all
time to come.
"In regard to tho marketing of the
api les Mr. Day said that in his opin- '
ion the farmers in Hood Kiver would !
net more money for their apples by j
selling them direct to England, as a i
house that comes hero and buys ap- j
pies for export must figure ou a large .
margin in order to indu
induce him to '
handle the biiisness. Most
any man
is willing to gamblo a little, bit, and j
surely the farmers In Hood Kiver can J

London, after having all the charges
for freight, insurance, commission,

the handling of tho apples deducted,
which gave the fellow who bought the
apples 75o to gamble on. It really
seemsto methat the Hood Kiver farmer
could afford to be the gambler in
such a case.
"Mr. Day made the remark that
lu three years from now there will not
be one carload of Harletts shipped out
of California. The pear blight there
is killing every tree in the state. Mr.
Day obtains his information by com
ing iu contact with the large growers
themselves.
"It may be of some value for the
Hood Kiver growers to know that
California, which has supplied the
New York market with llartlett pears
for a good many years past will prao
tically be out of it iu three years.
He furthermore said that Medfor'd had
some very nice pear orchards coming
on. He was quite surprised when he
learned that we had shippedsotue liart
lott pears in carload lots from here
last fall, but was more so surprised
when he found out that about 700
was all we got for them per car, as
the sales he made for tho California
growers brought them from gll 10 to
l,7-iU per car, and two carloads of
Doyenne du Cornice pears brought
-i4!):i, and $2542 respectively. That I
convinced us imti .ew lork was a
good market for pears, but these
priors are for fancy pears only, not
good pears, but fancy pears.
"liefore closing Mr. Day said that
quality, three times qualty must be
tho watch word of tho ilood Kiver
farmers, and success will surely fol

FRONT STREET WANTS
A FRUIT INSPECTOR
Front street commission men have
gone ou record as favoring the ap
pointment of a fruit inspector in
Multnomah county, as povided for by
the law which becomes operative May
IS, says the Portland Telegram. A
mooting of .the Merchauts' Produce
association was held andumong those
atteudlng was ytato Horticultural
Commissioner Newell, who urged the
commission dealers to assist iu secur
ing the appointment of an itiHpertor
as a safeguard against the shipment
of infectious fruit into this market.
Iu past seasons tho Front-street
houses have suffered by reason of the
condition of certain classes of fruit,
and till interested in supplying the
trade with the best and healthiest
fruit are doing their utmost to help
the appointment of an inspector.
When the county court meets early
in June a petition will be presented,
as prescribed by law, iiraying for tho
appointment of a fruit Inspector.
linn ollicial Is pild by the county,
und eacb county in the state is en
titled to oue. it is understood most
of tho outside districts have arranged
to tile the proper petitions, mid thus
it will be assured all orchards, packing-houses
will be caret ully looked
after so that the murkets will receive
shipments that may be tillered the
trade without hesitation.
Another factor prominent In help
ing the movement is the l!Klf Fair,
as it is desired to impress Easterners
with the fine condition in which local
fruit and produce is placed ou the
street.

"I met Fobs w ith a club," are tho worita
ol Kies as given by Perkins, "and be
threatened to kill me. 1 went home ami
got my gun, and I have killed the eon of
a right iu thero."
As PerkliiB turned to leave, Kies de
clared he was going lo set tire to the
cabin anil "bum the whole darned
thing up."
According to the testimony of .1. N.
Knight, Kies called at the Knight home
Thursday evening, and appeared very
much excited. Kies said that be had
just met Fobs who had called him vilo
names, which he would have to retract,
or lie (Kies) would kill him. Kies went
so far as to say he had a notion of going
home l hen (or the purpose of getting his
gun and killing Foss.

Foes and Kies are known to have quar
reled bitterly for over a year, and it ap
