Mrs, Mury Campbell who died at

the very unusual act of wilting her

Mary Auu Northrup, was born iu Til
lamook county, Oiegou , J tine II, 1808,
being the daughter of Harvey and
Kuruu Northrup. (irundpureuts on
t both sides and father wore emigrants
of INiu. At the age of 1 years, in the
year 1872, 1 moved with my parents to
Uloucoe, Washington county, Oregon,
where 1 received my early training in
the Hhady Hrook country school. In
the full of 1HH1 I attended school in
ililltboro, Oregon, remaining there
until June, 188b. Then 1 spent two
years In the Portland public and high
schools. In the tall of 1887 I began
teaching in the public schools of
Washington county, and wltliit he ex
ception of one year spent at the Ore
gon State Normal, 1 have tai ght al
most ooutinuoiiHly in the public
schools ot Oregon, considering this
one of the greatest opportunities to do
good and impress righteous'princlples
lu the hearts or tha youth."
Seediest.' Apple Not it Success.
Apropos of several specimens of the
seedless apple, which it says were
submitted to it by the general mana
ger of the Heedless Apple company,
liural New Yorker publishes a state
ment by Dr. Walter Van Float, part
of which is as follows:
A single seed was found In one speo
liuou in an extra or advent it ions core
near the blossom ud of the fruit.
The others were eutireiy freo from
seeds, though the usual woody car
pels ot core divisions were not only
present, but strongly developed. The
apples are rather small lu si.e, round
and smooth in form, dull red In color,
with many li.,'ht dots. Itie calyx is
very large and open, and the bastu
is wide and deep, extending almost to
the core. The ttcsh is white and ilrm,
quality very ordinary, about on a par
with LI in Lei Twig, and scarcely as
good as lieu Davis. The claim made
by the promoters that the tSpeuoer
seedless apple contains 20 per cent
more apple substance than other vari
eties of the tame si.e is scarcely
borne out iu the specimens examined',
as the substaueo lost by the huge
open calyx huMn would quite olfset
any gain iu the t paces normally occu
pied by seeds.
A pome or applelike fruit is, botan
ically, the diluted and softened
flower stem oveigiowing the ovary or
true fruit, made up of woody or bony
carpels (core plates) and stds. lu
tbo. bpeuoer ami other seedless apples
the seeds alone are absent, but the
objectionable core is present as usual.
Unless the seedless variety should
possess in addition unusual good
quality or oiuer vaiuanie attributes
it is not easy to see w hy it shoul I be
particularly desirable except as a cu
riosity. We are told the Spencer apple pio
moters expect to develop seedless va
rieties of commercial apples, such as
Winvsap, Jonathan, lielilloner and
(Jaub. This can only be done by the
usual nreetling method of cross pel
leuization and careful selectiou of
succeeding generuti ins. While it is
within the nintje ot possibility t h it
seedless varieties rc.-emhling to some
extent our present successful com
mercial apples may iu tune bo secur
ed, such result in most uncertain and
likely to icqniie indefinite time. I
P Tbe Kieffei pear is as likely to drive
Hartlett. Bono. Clapp and tbe other
g0.id ones out of business as this seed
less a i) i ile is to dispose of Baldwin
Northern Spy and other standard
sorts. "
Illustrates Point Aim nl Hates,
The Trenton, N. J., American gives
the following as au Illustration: "An
ignorant .co ttractor in Albany not
long ago failed to shore up one pillar
that as a part of the support of tbe
building. This Millar gave way, and
the whole building came down. If the
Interstate Commerce Commission
should chanuo the first class rate be
tween New York and Chicago it would
affect fully 10,000 other rates, becauee
the New York-Chicago rate is a base
rate for practically all tbe territory
eust of Chioago,and for more than hrlf
of tbe territory west thereof. Inter
mediate places take a percentage of
the Chicago rate, so that a single
change, say from 75 cents per bund
red to 70 conts per hundred, would
necessitate iuuumeiable other
changes.
"When tbe ariuments ou rate legis
lation are divorced from politics, and
the situation looked at calmly and
honestly from a strictly business
standpoint, it is quite difilcult to no
oucile tbe statements of some ot tbe
members of Congress who are in fa
vor of rate regulation with tbei;
acta. A representative is quoted as
stating that it is not tbe intention of
tbe administration to have a rate bill
which will enable the Interstate Com
merce Commission to make all rates,
but that they will only change a rate
that is challenged.
"Perhaps this is their intention,
but Wiat they did In the tincti-Iowu-
send bill was to give to the Inter
state Commerce Commission not only
full acd absolute control of every
rate, but of every method now In
foroe ou the railroads that bad refer
ence to the transportation of fre ght
and passengers. It is dillleolt to see
how a law could be drawn that would
give authority only over certain
rates."
PRINEVILLE WILL-
NOT BE SCAPEGOAT
A meeting of the Crmmercial club
us held at Prineville recently, at
which it was determined to take de
cisive action toward enlisting tbe sup
port ot the Commercial clubs of all
sections in tho state In a united elfort
to correct the mis-statements printed
in tlieOregonian regardiug unlawful
ness prevailing iu that region, occa
sioned by its published reports in tbe
urain case.
Kesolutions were adopted ftatiug
tnat tue runout investigation ebowed
thut tbe articles printed are utterly
devoid of any foundation and have
caused a false impression of tbe dis
trict iu the minds of the people, re
sulting In a dir ct injury to the com
munity and region. Delegates were
appointed to take the matter up with
the Portland Commercial club and se
cure its aid in presenting a true re
port to the people.
W. A. lialdlaw. general manager of
the Columbia Hnuthern Irrigation
company, and w. lllalue and 1'. W.
Wilson have made a thorouuh investi

they have examined witnesses and re-
ort that they are satisfied of the un
truthfulness of the story minted.

HOOD RIVER MAN
A gentleman who was recently at
Fargo, N. D., and who is a resident
of this city, tella a good story about
Hood Kiver apples.
Wbile sauntering around a hotel in
that place one afternoon he got into
conversation with a gentleman who
was stopping at the same hotel, and
among other things they got to talk
ing about apples. Of course when this
topic was reached tho Hood Kiver
man was at home. He told abftut tho
glorious fruit raised lu tbo valley, tbe
Hue color, the enormous size and the
fine quality. Aud incidentally wound
up by stating the prices obtained for
them.
His companion listened Interestedly
to all this, and when be had conclud
ed, remarked that there must be some
mistake. That be bad been down tbe
street that morning and bad steu Hood
Kiver apples displayed iu front of a
grocery store for f'J a box. This tbe
Hood Kiver resident would not be
lieve, of course, and told his newly
made acquaintance that this brand of
apples suld for more thau that on tbe
trees.
They finally compromised the mat
ter by agreeing to go to the grocery
store aud examine the applet. On
arriving at their destination the pro
prietor of the store was called and was
asked to exhibit tho fruit.
Cioing over to a box of apples be
said, "Here they are, gentlemen."
Tbo apples were an assortment of
big, little, gnarly aud iudilfereut
looking fruit.
After looking them over the Hoed
Kiver mau sai I : "These are not Hood
Kiver apples. "
"Ob, yes, they are, " replied the
grooerynian,"
"Lot's see 'i.M box or barrel they
came In," said his Inquisitor
The box rrthooiniiig, and cn
one end of it was marked "Yakima."
His attention being called to tbe
iiurk, the groceryman SBld: "Well,
ain't they Western apples?"
"Yes," said the Hood River man,
"but Western apples are not necessar
ily Hood Kiver apples."

It is said that Captain Spencer has
found steamboating so profitable dur

of placing a steamer In operatio

He will do so, he says, if he is given
sufficient encouragement by tne snip
f.era. The bponcer has bad a veiy
