WHY SUCH HEAVY
APPLE SHORTAGE
Comnieotiua on tbe recent hip
meut ot applt from Australia to New
Vork city tbe H riDKdeld Itepublican
saya editoilaaily t
There arrived at New Yoik a cod
aigniuent of 1010 canea of apple, or
about 340 ban els, from Auatialia aod
lasniania, laid to be tbe Umt import
of tbe kind oa tbe records of tnat
port; which la possible, alnce tbe
Lulled btalea la lecogmzea im wona
over at tbe principal aurplua producer
of apple, r or many rears tola conn
try bat been large exporter ot tbe
fruit ibipmeota to reoeut yeari aver
aging neatly l.UUU.UUU barrel annually
and aometioiea reacblng U,uuu,(wj oar
rel or over. During tbe curieot flacal
year exports of apple bave been well
above tbe yearly averge, amounting
to above tbe 1, .000,000 barrels for tbe
nine months ending with March, last
season's yield having been uuoom
motiov larce. So It is more surprising
that any ot tbe fruit should oome here
from otbei countries ana especially
from the antipodes on an 1B.UU0 mile
voyage. The importers, however, aay
that tbe crop of last year has been
practically til consumed or exported,
Tbey assert that there are not over
10,000 barrels Jert la th. wnoie ooun
try. and as good apples are selling in
New Vork at 90 a barrel it must be
that the scarcity Is nearly as great as
lepresunted.
The apples brought heie from Aus
tralia are described as superior, in
appearance at least, to tbe American
fruit, whiob Is no doubt tbe case.
1'bey are grown in a warmer climate
than prevails In tbe great apple iaia
ing sections ot the northern United
States, and it ia easy to produce tine
looking apples in warm olimate, but
not so easy to grow apple as fine in
quality and solid In substance as are
grown in our la temperate regions.
1 ruit ot this kind has lately oome to
Bpringneld from Uiegon and Wash
ington, where it was grown under tbe
damp, warm influence of tbe Japanese
ocean current, and splendid appear
ing fruit it is; but tbe nice, warm
quality of tbe apple of the northeast
em atates seems to be laoklng and it
fails to satisfy the cultivated taste of
tbe easterner who still regards the ap
ple as tbe superior of all fruits, even
as against the aggressive claims of tbe
orange and the peach which, especial
ly.in the case of the orange, have be
come so abundantly and cheaply
available in reoent years, where be
fore they were rare and costly.
liut tthose who are fond of apples
bave some questions to ask. Why is
it beooming more and more dittloult
to obtain good ones Why is It that
tbe truit commonly available in our
tnaikets is detective and scraggy, im
perfect without if not lumpy within?
Last year's yield was large, but
really good fruit hat been nearly as
hard to obtain and as costly as dur
ing the lean yeats of apple produc
tion. The New Vork importers of
Auntralian apples account for tbe
present soaroity by saying that "good
wages last fall made everybody eat
apples." Nonsense. Ihe laot rather
is that the fruit commonly offered in
market has been of an appeal anoe and
priae to repel consumers, and present
soaroity more probably arises from
the large proportion ot defective
fruit, which was left to spoil In gro
cers bands or has been turned into
cider. Is tho apple running out
through neglect in cultivation of or
chards, or what is tbe matter? Possi
bly tbe export tra le is more than ever
getting the first pick of the yearly
American yield, and the home consu
mer has tbe leavings at export prioes.
liut, however this may be, it la mat?
ter for ooulsderatlou whether apple
produotou In the older American
states is not deteriorating under tbe
old method ot letting an apple or
chard take oare of itself giving it no
more cultivation of soil enrichment
than is deemed ueoessary for shade
trees merely.
Discord In Dalles School Hoard.
All Is not by any means terene so
far kb school affairs In 'Ihe Dalles Is
concerned, eapnolally that of Satur
day night when the oletk oi the ua
triot. John (Javin, who baa been oon
nected with tbe schools for years,
and one of the oldest directors, JJr,
U. D. Doaue. resigned from the
board.
Superintendent Whitney made his
suggestions, whiob is customary witn
the Biiperintendouoy, among them
that Misses lioguer, Klitb Uarr, Ua
ohel Morsau and Maggie Flinn be
dropped and Miss Mlobell be allowed
a leave ot absence for tbe year.
Learning of the action ot the board
the teachers, with the exoeptlon of
Misses itogner and I'linn, appeared
before the directors to say that tnet
believed thoy had been misrepresent
ed and that before they reoelved their
dismissal tbey wished to be under
stood.
At tbe meeting Saturday night In
tbe absence ot the president ot the
board. U. H. Huntington. V. J. (Jran
dall was in the obair. During tbe
meeting Dr. Donne moved that slnoe
Miss Miohell had no desire to be glr
en a year's rest, her election be oon
sidered, also that ot Mrs. Kelly, who
had intended to teaoh bad she been
elected Mr. Huntington's vote was
oast tor the two teachers, but on
vote being taken the vote was two tor
to three aiiainst thorn. At this Juno
turn Dr. Doaue quietly stated to the
board that he was not in sympathy
with the actlous which tbe board bad
reoently taken and therefore tendered
his resignation. School Clerk Gavin
grew somewhat lu earnest and saying
that he bad no sympathy with tbe way
things have boon goiug, that one man
bad been allowed to rule things and
that he most certainly deolined to
serve furthor as clerk, also resigned.
Yala lrrigoa.
Hood River is lu tbe throes of the
stiawbeiry season, and those are
mighty good "throes" to got into.
Somebody, we think It was hi. L.
Smith, tut we are not sure; but some
chap from that town once told us that
Hood Kiver .raised the finest straw
berries on ' this or any other old
earth. Considering the wall kknown
reticeuoe of the Hood Kiver people,
that was saying a great deal, so we
believed it, aud continued to believe
it aud swear to it, uutil about three
weeks ago when the very first lrrigon
berries oame on the market. 1'ben
we kuew that the man who said it
oould no longer truthfully say it, for
the lrrigon berries are as much Boer
than tbe Hood River-berries as ap
ples are liner than pawpaws. And
what is more, when we get started we
will have our crop harvested each
season and the cash' In our pockets
before the Hood Kiver berries are
' ripe. You want to keep watch ot lr
rigon, tor she ia going to be some
thing better in every way than Hood
, Kiver. And Hood Kiver is about the
finest place on earth, and has tbe fin
est lot ot people, but we will distance
her on strawberries and some other
products. As1 to apples, why Hood
River wears the belt, and sb ought
to be content to rest na tier laurel.
Iirlgon Irrigator.
Brother It Inigoo bad been on the
map ia tbe day ot Solomon, and tbe
irrigator bad published socbanamu-
ing comparison as tbe above, be

Teppiaf" Strawberries.
In a recent issue. tbe Moant Olive
Irlbuo criticised iiu ot the loot.1
stiawbeiry growers for "topping"
their fruit in a dishonest manner.
Ihe current issue J the Xriban fol
lows op tbe matter by saying that this
pi actio I yearly bringing Mount
Olive into disrepute as a shipping
point and wil ultimately result in
Dnanolal damage to every prower
tbe territory. gCoutinuiog on this sub
ject, the Tribune says:
"Other point in tbe straw ben y
belt are equally guilty, and some even
are more so, and oftentimes mean ad
vantage ha been taken of tbe growers
by buyer and commission men. Ibis
we bave and do condemn in no oncer
tain term, but after all such doe not
excuse our growers, or give them 11-
oense, to r actio dishonesty in tbe
packing ot tbelr fruit, it la not only
violation of tbe moral oode, but i
detrimental a a 'cold' business pripo
siton."
II age Uerrv Contract.
A beriy oontraot baa been made by
tbe Puyallup and Sumner Fruit
Uroweis association of PoyaJlop,
Wash., with tbe Webei-Ilosseli Can
ning company, of King (county, that
state, whereby tne association will
supply tbe canning company wltb
1UU.OUU 12-cup ciate of led raspber
ries at toui tint a pound during
UJO7-1910 and 140,000 orate ot backber
rles at 3li cents a pound, also all of
the canning apples that tbe members
of the BMOoaticn may bave, tbe pi Ice
for tbe apples to be one-bait oent a
pound. In addition to tbla tbe can
ning company will take plum at
three-fourth to one cent a pound.
Ibis I laid to be a very substantial
oontraot and enoourages the grower
ot the small fruit, a it establishes
their industry there on a sate and
sound bail. Ihe canning company
1 leqolred to furnish tbe cups and
orate for oarrying tbe raspberries,
and It 1 also understood that where
tbe raspberries show sign of having
been carelessly picked, soft and mat
ted down in the oops, tbey are to be
paid tor at the rate ot 3 oeuta a
pound. Should tbe blaok berries be
supplied by tbe association in carriers
furnished by the oannlng company
then tbe orioe Der oound for tbe ber
ries ia to be three cents pound.
Object to the Law.
The new Pawbamus law enaoted by
the last legislature Is ojeoted tc by
tbe commission men ot this state and
tbey bave determined to defy it. On
ot the ohief objections is that it re
quire report to be made of 11 ship-
menu to be told on commission with
in two day and that supplementary
report shall be made tcr all sales large
or small eaoh day following. Another
objectionable feature is that it gives
the commissioner of horticulture or
any ot hi deputies, tbe county in
spector oc any ot bis deputies or any
oouslguor, the right investigate
the took ot tbe comission merchants.
In addition to this, a bond for 13,000
la required and a lloense fee ot 110
per annum, 'ihe commission men do
not otieot to tbe bond nor to tbe li
cense fee but to' the multiplicity ot
report required under, tbe .new. Jaw
whiob would compel them to hire ad-
ditonal offloe force and to tbe faot
that general publiolty would be given
to their private business if all these
agent under the law were permitted
to Inspect tbelr books. -Kevelle;
filler's Big Tent Show Delights Big
Audience,
filler's "Kiug of the Cattle Ring."
the big and unique show whiob last
evening opened a two nights engage
ment in Xrlnldad. is peerless among
things under canvass. It is good trom
start to finish, and tbe Immense aud
ience that packed tbe big tent last
night enjoyed, the big novelty from
tbe rise of tbe curtain on tbe first aot
to its fall ou tbe last thrill of tbe
fifth.
Vet the big show affords the "touch
of (nature" neoessaiy to oreate tbe
bold tbe Interest of the onlookers,
trom the veriest small boy to the
grayest man or woman of mature
years. That this was io Is best attest
ed last night perhaps by the ejacula
tion of "liood Ulrl" as the sweetheart
of the "King of the Cattle Ring" de
fied a Mexican desperado to do his
worst. It was true to nature, and hu
man nature had to respond.
' One thing that can be truthfully
and foroetully said of the filler show
whiob oannct be said ot many other
is that everybody connected with it
management ia a perfect gentleman,
in la tact is generally known, should
go tar with many people wbo don't
oare to patronize showmen ot the like
wbiob seeks only tbe II and to Pueblo
with the pullo." Ibe Advertiser, in
oompany with hundreds ot its many
leaders, congratulate Mr. filler and
everyone uuder him not alone on tbe
undoubted worth of bis production,
but on its deportment. Hood River,
