for iiihi kut, says tlm Statesman. In
order to attain perfect ion In packing,
Mr. Wood employed It. V. Ilrock of

Undiir Mr. lirnck's direction, tho
fruit of Mr. Wi oil's orchard in being
packed iih tliey pack in tint fainoUH
Oregon valley. All tho apples placed
in a box bxh of tho tamo size; they
aro all laid nn edge, and tho Hint

largest size will pack 72 in a box ; of
another HI, of ai other 112 and o f an
other IIH. ill tilling an HI box thoro
arn four layers, oacdi with seven tiers
of three apples each. Tho end of each
box bears tho number of apples con
tained. Moreover, It is possible to tell
npiiroxiniatly tho number of apples in
a car. In one of the oars shipped by
Mr. Wood, by way of Illustration, it
may bo stated there wero (I boxes of
72 apples oaoli, lilt of HI, :)7.'t of 112,
142 of 128 and 50 of about 150. What

ilo has somo lion I 'avis, but many
of that variety of trees liavo boon
grafted to Newtown l'ippins. Tho or
chard contains Hi acres, with 2i00
troos. More than half the troos aro
young, and a great many more aro
grafted. Tho young part of 'ho or
chard is made up of Nowtown l'ippins
(Jrlmea' (ioldnu, and Jonathans. in
tho entire orchard about half aro Jon
athans. Tho troes that furnish this
year's crop number only about HOO.
Tho orchard is kept thoroughly cul
tivated, and tho trees aro sprayed )(H.
siduiiusly during tho soiihoii, with tho
result that there aro very few worms
and no sciiIih.
Mr. Wood is riinnning a cider mill
at his collar in connection with the
packing house, in which all the wind
falls aro being ground for vinegar cr
cider. Already iitin gallons have b
run into the tanks. Tho culls from
the packed apples will bo used for
making older, for apple wine, an. I for
preservation by a new process in its
sweet condition. In this piocess no
preservatives are to be used.
Mr. Ilrock, who is interested in the
business ntjlood Kiver, said recently
tho Jonathans ami Koine iieaut les in
Mr. Wood's orchard wero perhaps a
littl t linger tliiiu thi. irs. lie further
said the apple business could be made
a great feature in the valley. There
was no doubt whalecr that twice as
much net money could be realized
from the business as, from griming
wheat on land yielding 10 bushels to
the Here.
In the oichard in which he was in
forested at II I Kiver, he said,
"'"' -i i acres. J.nsl year
they shipped 12,000 boxes of apples.
The Npitozuhcrgs brought 2.2i on
board the cars there, the Nentovns

the average price of the entire ciop
was td.'.io.
That was a year when there was a
Kieut crop elsewhere, yet I lie average
price realized there was nearly twice

Mr. Ilrock added that they had kept
a careful account of cost, of producing
tipples. Tliey made liberal allowance
for the time of the t luce owners, for
all expenses. Mich as taxes, fur a team

FRUIT COLONY.
Most of our inhabitants have been
nninueil in nicking. wiping and swip
tng apples lately. Money certainly
grows on trees and bushes in this part
of the worM.
Since tho fair at Portland has passed
into history, the community can once
more settle down ami try lo maKo u:
what they spent there.
One of our little Sunday School
scholars rather surprised her teacher
recently when she insisted that Lot's
wife "turned to rubber" before she
"turned to salt." The younger gener
ation hero is especially Dright.
William Peterson, one of our up-to-date
and enterprising citizens, has
just completed the erection of a cosy
little residence, ilo recently return
ed from the wheat. Melds near Walla
Walla, ami intends now to enjoy the
comforts of 1 fe around his ow u lire
side. Scott KdwHids, alter looking the
landscape over around these parts,
lias deluded to invest in Fruit Colony
land. He savs he almost made a
dicker fur a squaw to look alter hie
household which ho proposes to estab
lish soon, but when she smiled some
what broadly and disclosed an awful
cavitv in her face Idled with crooked,
broken ami vcllow tombstones his
heart faioi1 him and he decided t hat
it would be better to call tho deal oil.
Scott said hop mouth was so large
that every time she yawned her face
became washed timi dried with tin
movement.
John Anderson is getting ready to
build a habitation on Ins tract here.
In nrooortiou to our inhabitants
Fruit Colony is building faster than
Portland or Taenma.
Hilly lOdwnrds thinks some of the
womoii in mind Whit ' Salmon are
great bakers. Ilo bought a loaf from
a woman there and lie said she liiusi
have charged a penny a pound, as he
paid ton cents for it, and was fully
satislled that he got ton pounds in
the lump. He declared lie hail to
take a cake of magic yeast before lie
could rise iqi next morning.
K. 1). Cameron has all his lino ap
ples picked and shipped. If it hadn't
been for the shape nd color it could
have been hard to distinguish some
of them from pumpkins.
Our neighbor felt somewhat indig
nant over his slobbering horse epis
ode getting into print, but says it is
not as bad as what his next door
neighbor did. Ilo said he acciden
tally fed his cow sawdust instead of
chop lute the other evening and t ho
patient, long sullei ing animal ate the
moss with us much relish as it could
muster. Next morning when tho
man wont to do the milking the cow
let down a bushel of shoo pegs and a
bundle of lath in tho bucket, instead
of the usual supply of milk.
Fruit Colony is getting well cleared,
and the face of the eart h hereabouts
is beginning to look us if it had just
hail a fresh shave.
