BETTER FRUIT CALLS
FOR HIGHER PRICES
Portlund people may have noticed
in the pant two weeku an improve
ment iu the quality of fruit purchased
at the city stores gave the Ureitonian.
Wormy applet, scaly peacbei and dis
caned fruit of auy kind can no longer
lie found for ttule. For tills welcome
change they are indebted to a young
limn who twice a day maket the round
of tlio Front street produce houses, in
the oarly morning visits the l'laa
market and the rest of the day kepe
his eye on farmers and gardouere who
bring their product to the city. This

pointed fruit inspector, better known

She summoned the members of the
burial party and declared she believed
ber son was uot dead. She kissed
him a second time and ci ied out
"He's alive! My boy's alive!' and
then swooned. A call was made for
the physioian who pronounced Lopez
dead, but be could uot be found. An
other do",tor succeeded in bringing the
youth back to lite, lie was uncon

now almost recovered."
the produce quarter as "the bug
man."
Mr. Held knows his business, for
ho is a practical fruit-grower himself,
ile has h farm at Milwaukie wbicb
produces 10,000 baskets of Concord
grapes every year. lie grows other
fruit, too, but be sprays bis yards so
thoroughly that he never has to con
demn any of bis own product. .Since
he stopped the sale of Infected fruit
iu tli s market, prices have undergoue
quite a revolution. Heretofore So
much trash was offered for sale that it
kept down the price of clean fruit,
especially apple, and no inducement
was offered the grower (otake care
of his orchard properly. Before Mr.
Hold's appointment good sound ap
ples only netted the grower about 7fi
cents a box. Now the same class ol
fruit is worth about 11. M).
To the farmers I would like to
give a littlo advice," said Mr. Iteid
yesterday. "Leave your wormy and
scaly apples at home, unless you are
looking lor trouble. 1'ack your fruit
lionestly and throw out the scabby,
misshapen stuff for hogfeed It will
pay in the end.
A lew days ago there was a scarc
ity of apples on Front street, and In
making my rounds I saw four boxee
of passable apples iu front of a mail
order house. The fruit had been
dumped loosely in the box, the covers
were sawed out of fence boards and
nailed up with ten penny nails. 1
bought the four boxes at 50 cents each,
took them to a commission bouse, re
placed them iu clean boxes and the
result was three boxes of fairly good
apples which were sold 20 minutes
later at l.i" a box.
"This was merely an expflilment to
see wnat could lie done with ordiuary
clean fruit. The result fully justified
me eirort. "

scription of tbe valley:
Sixty-six miles east of Portland
nestles o prosperous and enterprising
little town, the mart of tbe famous
fruit valley of the same nume. The
climate Is ideal tbe year around, the
rigors of winter and the extremes of
summer being unknown, with pine
and exhilarating mountain air. For
scenic charms few spots equal It. In
the foreground is the Colin bia river.
Across the river in Washington is
Mount Adams, 12,471) feet bgh; iu
the opposite direction, to the south
27 miles, is Mount Hood, perpetuallv
covered with snow, rearing its head
heavenward ll,-i, feet forming a
picturesque background to the valley,
and on to the oast and west are the
foothills of the Cascades.
A cilmb up through streets shaded
with beautiful and spreading oak
trees, to secure a view of the produc
tive bolt, is well worth tho effort.
Nature has designed but tew such
scenes.
The panorama of river and vallev.
together with hundreds of well-kept
fruit farms, delight tbe eye. For '20
miles tbe fertile tract stretches to the
south with an average width of five
miles, making an area of UK) square

water for irrigating nurnoses the en

"The supposed dead yellow-fever vio

who was stricken with the plague some
days ago. In spite of every effort,
Lopez gradually sank and was at

Chysician. Amid the wailiugs of the

and no doubt It is due in a large
measure to proper education.
