AN INTERESTING
STORY OF FAIR
NEWBURG GRAPHIC MAN TELLS IT
A Ureat Fair With Everybody Talking
Apples and No Time to Look at
Babies and Vegetables.
On arririug in Portland lest Suu
day niorniug on tbe return trip from
tbe Hood Hiver tair, tbe Graphic
serine lu company with . .N. Welch,
went to tbe First ConKreKxtiouul
church to bear Mrs. Koce riloob
Mauer sihk and to hear a sermon by
William Sbaw tbe (treat ChriHtiuu En
deavor worker of I lost on. Da enter
ing tbe cburcb we were bsuded a
printed progiatn by tbe usher and
glancing at it we read under tbe bead
of "i'ta.i minute mens topic" tbese
words:
"As we meet and touch eaoh day
Tbe many tiavelers on our way
Let every such brief contact be
A glorious, helpful ministry."
Our tli ut thought was that Dr.
Douse, tbe pastor who arranged the
program had no doubt recently made
a trip to Hood luver where everv
man, woman and ibild engages in "a
glorious helpful ministry" for the
enlightenment of the stranger within
tbe Kates, and at tbis season of tbe
year tbe text is always taken from tbe
one theme "Hood Kivei applet),."
Uu 1-riday we went to Hood Hiver,
arriving at a lute hour in tbe night
and owing to tbe niauy people lu
town we considered ourselves fortun
ate iu being able to secute a bed at
tbe Mount Hood hotel. Hon. l A.
Crawford wbo was on tbe same train
was unable to secure lod.ugattbe
same place wben be applied and be
proceeded to make binibolf as com
fortable as possible in the hotel lubby
and entered into a discussion with
two of tbe residents of tbe city on tbe
relative merits ot latiibul county and
tbe iiood Kiver valley as fruit giow-
iug diHtriots. ibe uisouesiou waxed
warm and it 1b conceded that Fred
was getting tbe bent oi tbe argument.
for, along about two o'clock iu the
morning the hotel clerk, who is loyal
to Hood Kiver tapped tl)4 newly
elected member of tbe legislature
from Yamhill on tbe shoulder ami
told bitu he bad f jund a guest who
would share his bed with him. pro
vided Fred would pay the cost of tbe
bed for tbe night. Fred aouepted the
offer at once and that is where tbe
Hood Hirer fellows floored him, so to
speak. At a very eirly hour iu tbe
morning we heard a map baugiug
around in an adjoining room and we
soou recognized the voioe of Mr.
Crawford when he said to bis bed fel
low "i tbanW jou for a place to las
down auring tne night," never men
tioning sleep. Later he told us thai
wben be went to tbe too in be found
tbe fellow wbo made him the gener
oils offer had pre-empted a claim in
the middle of tbe bed, from which he
was unable to move him, and all be
was aoie to ao was to plant blmseii
on the bed rail next to the wall, lie
fore be got to sleep th fellow beg'n to
snore aud although be jabbed bim iu
tbe slats and yelled at him iu be
sawed away like an old time corn
stalk flddel, and the Yamhill man
slept not a wink.
Ibis little aooouut of the trials ol
Mr. Crawford is thrown in to show
how tbe Hood Hiver people :.. ud to
gether to bold their own with an out
sider in an argument legunlirg i; pie
growing, but bad tbey known u.ut
their guest would be in a position to
cast a vote iu tbe legislature m.vt
winter, either for or agaiiibt thru in
their county division tight, t.hi y
would have given bim a loom wish
two beds and free batb. Few tjwns
that class with Hood Hiver have butt r
bote! aooomniodntious and owing to
tbe rush on tbe occasion of tbe li.lr
many of tbe citizens oeiind tho r
homes in order to give additoual u
commodatious.
Tbe fair was a great suoccss and
while it was supposed to thuA ti e
different products of their valli-y it
was in reality an apple show. .An eld
resident said to Cy Vaugban, a tt. rul
er resident of New burg, "Cy, dh fal
lows wbo are raising vegetables are
not iu it here. Why, I see here cu
exbibitiou as big, tine sweet pointing
as ever grew iu Calioruia and they
won't look at them." And so it was.
Tbe people were there to talk Ohiio.j,
Yellow Newtowns and Hpitzcnhergs
and while in a few instances Hiruh
Ann may have been heard to ask if
tbe baby bad finished cutting its
teeth and if Johnny bad started to
school, she was soon switched off to
enagge in tbe one theme of conversa
tion, apples.
Apples, well yes some apples. Ini-
agiue a mammoth tent filled with HiO
boxes of such apples as would deligl.t
tbe eyes of the orowued beads of any
ountry. Nut little bous mind you,
but tbe regulation 45 pound box jtirt
tbey are put up for sbipmei
There was not a poor box In fV l ,
nd since tbey pride tlnn.i.i f on
their packing as much m mi the qual
ity of tbe lrnit., theie was not a
poorly packed box aiuorg them. Of
course tne fjllow was there wbo as
serted that his part of tbe counrty
could produce just as flue apples if
the people wculd turn their attention
to fruit growlug, but he was met with
smile mingled with pity and con
tempt, as be failed to show up with
tbe goods.
For sti icily a show apple tbe Wolf
River is a great success with its enor
mous sizes and fine color. I. N.
Campbell, of Campbell Dros,. who
own an oiobard on the east side ut

Hiver seems to be tilled up with tbis

by the courtesy of Jud Ferguseu, a

much of tbe way we found splendid
roads and saw many fine orchards

New York Apple Market.
Apple receipts have been heavy here
this week from the middle west
amounting to from 25 t.i 35 cars per
day, but uutwithetanding the liberal
receipt tbe demand has been good
when tbe fruit showed the liuht
quality.- A great many of the western
apples were ot fine quality, and if tbe
westerners continue shipping fruit of
this kind it is predicted that it will
sell better lu this market than tbe ap
ples from New York state. There is
some of the western apples wbicb are
arriving though tbey are cloudy, and
those detract from tbelr value on tbis
market. A considerable quantity of
tbe western apples are being export
ed, the estimates being that tbe for
eign shipments tbis week will exceed
those of tbe previous week.
ibe adviobs from foreign markets
are tbat tbe demand oontiuues good
at unchanged prices, but that fruit
arriving laoks color, and exponers.are
advised : o see that their fruit la of
tbe right color if they want to obtain
tbe best prioes.
ibe report of tbe storm in western
New Yoik have caused farmers to be
even firmer lu tbeir views, and while
buyers aie inclined to tbink tbat the
reports of tbo damage to apples has
been exaggerated, and tbat theie will
still be enough fruit to meet all re
quirements, that thre are some, how
ever, who admit tbat it is probab e
tbat Haldwius will be bougbt at prio
es wbicb were higher than anticipated
during tbe early part of tbe season.
ibe market here sbows no weaken
ing for tbo best quality of fruit.
Western Jonathans are selling at $3.00
to 95 per barrel; (ianos at $3 to $3.50
aud lien Davis at 2.'25 to $3. Ordi
narily at tbis seasou fruit has to com
pete with fine varieties of eastern ap
ples -inch us Snow and Mcintosh, but
these are now extremely scarce. There
is oue reason why tbe fruit is selling
to such good advantage, aud there is
another iu tbe superior quality o the
best or tbe western ollerings. For
medium grade apples tbe trade is
quiet and easier, huid winter fruit
being especially weak. 1' ruit irade

Who Own Want More Other Sews
of the Apple Situation.
Events in the wake of tbe fair show
that it did muob to stimulate busi
ness and that Investments of manv
thousands of dollars was tbe result of
strangers coming here to witness it.
investments hare been made not only
by strangers, but by those at home
wbo already have property at Hood
Hiver and bavins idle moner deem it
tbe best place to put it for profitable
re'uiuB. No better indication of
faith iu the continued prosperity aud
profitableness of the Hood Hiver ap
ple can be found than in the fact tbat
tbe laudowner is willing to buy ot his
owu waies aud put tbe profits of his
earnings into still more apple land.
iiuyera are still comma to look for
apple land aud almost every train
brings in several who are here with a
view of purchasing. Most of them
are getting a piece of the famous
Hood Hiver land and there are many
wbo come here on other business in
tent wbo become so interested tbat
they either purchase or become pros
pective purchasers. Sunday is becom
ing a most popular day with landseek-
ers particularly those from Portland

Tbe apples ahown at Portland tbla
week nave been attracting muob at-
teutiou and, despite tbe ettorta of one
arm to disparage tbe excellence of
fruit by placing a big placard over 150
Doxes of wormy fruit announcing that
tbey were Hood Hiver apples, tbev
are reoeiviug nothing but commenda
tion by all who see tbetu. i'be at
tempt of the firm above meutioued was
quickly put out of business by a Hood
Kiver man wbo saw tbe apples and
telephoned to II. F. Davidson, presi
dent, of tho Commercial club, wbo
gave orders to have the dealer prose
cuted lu tbe name ot the Hood Hiver
Commercial club, as be was prefeotly
sure that tbey were not Hood Hiver
fruit. Another Hood Hiver man, wbo
happened to be in Portland saw tbe
apples and questioned tbe man who
bad them for sale. The dealer claimed
that tbey bad been leoeived from
Hood Hiver and that tbe name was on
the box. The Hood Hiver man offer
ed to wager tii before looking tor the
name tbat tbey were not from Hood
lver. but tne dealer wouldn't bet.
Wben tbe boxes were examined no
name was on them and tbe dealer then
said he hid bought tha fruit irom a
Front street commission man, wbo
said tbey came from Hood River. Tbe
name of tbe firm is understood to be
L. Mayer & Co. Since tbe announce
ment to prosecute bim nothing more
has been beard of wormy apples from
Hood River.
Tbe soarioty of apple piokeu oon
tiuues and growers are . experiencing
considerable dltlioulty in getting help
to pick tbeir crops. Suuday about 'Hi
mnn and women from Hood River,
who have other duties during tbe
week, went out on tbe Mount Hood
train and helped to harvest tbe orop
of one grower wbo was sadly ia need
of help. Since the fair apple ship
ments have commenced to move rap
idly and much other fruit is also be
ing seut out.
The uuderegtimatelng of theii crops
by growers bus oaused something of a
box famine aud was it not tbat Hood
Hiver has a box factory of its own for
the manufacture of these necessary
recetaoles to fruit growers, it is
doubtful it tbe big apple crop at
Hood Hiver could be shipped.. It is
estimated by the Davidson company
tbat tbey will manufacture in the
neighborhood of 125,000 boxes. Tbeir '
first ordar was for 50,000 which they
completed. Many growers placed their
orders for boxes with an out of
town firm which tbey secured. Wben
they oommenoed to pick tbeir fruit,
however tbey found tbat it in most
instanoes was double what they first
estimated it at, aud would bavo to
bave more boxes.' As there is such a
demand tor them in all tbe fruit
growing distriota tbis year it was dis
covered tbat outside firms wbiob bad
been furnishing boxes for Hood Hiver
growerso could not fill their orders.
ibe Davidson company was appealed
to and baa been supplying tbe demand
as fast as possible although they have
been handicapped somewhat for lum
ber. There are at present 20 bands
employed in tbe box factory wbich
bas proved tbe salvation of Hood
Hiver fruit growers tbia year.
