A fine display ot fruit iu competi tion (or valuable pi ies was inourpo lated with the lilteenth uuiiuhI oou vention of the Northwest Fruit Grow ers association hi l l at Vimcouvor, li.

Howorer much evpett fruit growers gathered there at the north west iihso ciation may differ as to relative mer its of liquid or dry spray for codlin moth or however earnest they may be come over the value of home made or bnughten lime sulphur solution, there is a decided unanimity in npiuion that no machine hu yet been invent ed to grind out tit hhort notice a suc cessful fruit K'rowei, says a Vancouver dispatch. Correct principles of fiuit growing are becoming mote end more cxtab lihsed, but, wise application of those principles to particular con litious of soil and eliiinue demands time and experience. The one who has the most experience is quito apt to bo the iiihu who hesitates mo.-it to tell anoth er just how he should proceed. Those fruit growers' gatherings are valuable iu that they iuoite more and more to individual thought and iudividuul ex periment. Prizes have been uwnided as fol lows: For the best live boxes of ap ples, J. C. Monsherger, Grand Forks, B. C, S100 gold medal : A. 1. Mason. Hood Kiver, Ore., &"t silver medal ; T. G.

Shepard,lllood Kiver, second prize; P. G. Earl, Lytton, 11. C, third prize. The sessions cloved with a baiuiuet Friday evening. President Smith re ported an advancement iu the grow ing aud marketing of fruits. Ho re cently talked with the largost fruit dealers iu S bnria, who have been to the coast anil bought over 0000 boxes Ot apples. Mr. Smith said there was a great Held for Paoitlo northwest fruit iu Ja pan, China ami hili'tvia, especially if the eteamship companies ni l give a rate of Hi a ton the r ite now given for wheat from Shu Francisoo to the Orient. This will furnish a market tor inferior guides of fruit, that which alone the bulk of the OriouUla oan atford to buy. ibe delegates returned Sunday morn ing and aie much pljased with the re sult of the mooting. Hood Kiver had three entries in the, apple competi tion, out ot 100 untried, aud captured three prizes, i'our Hood liiver men were also elected olucers or the asso ciation. M.. Shot ard had the follow ing to say of the meeting: "Probably the inout important feat lire of tho meeting was tuo tact that it whs the unanimous Rontimeut of growers to put up a higher grade ot fruit in niauy districts that have not heretofore given this inattoi the im portance it deserves. When it was fully explained that every box of cull apples that is put on the market de tracts from the value of first grade fruit, delegates from all sections up proved the idea to stop putting infer ior fruit ou tho market and send it to the oider mill or cuiuery or utilize it in some way wheie it will not reduce the price for the best aud will aluo re sult in placing a superiot quality of apples in the hands of the consumer. "Another matter that received con siderable attention ut the hands of the convention was that of thesho age ot cars. While some were iu favor ot arbitrary methods lu dealing with the railroads, the majority, viewing the situation from a more reasonable standpoint, are in favor of getting in close touch wit,, tho railroad commis sions and agents tor private car lines in the various st;it(u and impressing them with the necessity for better shipping facilities for the rapidly in creasing and great development ot the fiuit industry in tho northwest, in deed this must be done and 1 think the transposition lines will do it themselves it they are in ought to real ize what this great fruit industry will moan to them in tho very near future. "There U scarcely any fruit grow ing district who.-e output will not double in lh yeai -i and homo of thorn iu less time, ihi means that where hundreds of eai are now necessary thousands will have to be provided aud the ajsoiuation and tho railroiidH must get together and piorido trans portation facilities tn guHid .'.jaiiji.; a reat lots, not only to tha grower but to the country at large. With the meeting this your it was also decided tu abolish ti e competi tive prizes for exhibits oi fruit. It has been found that the awarding of "rize leaves moro or Ises bad feeling aud as. the association is founded for educational purpo.-es and lor better- ub conditions for the fruit grower, the displays hereafter will be given cards of merit according to th -ii ex cellence. "One of th most idaasiug erentu of the meeting to the Oiegon delegation was the ovati'iu rtceivod by K. L. Smith when his uiiine v.ns put in nomination tot leelou ion a president of the association Although he ve hement)..' decimal tu accept the ollioe for another year delngales from liiit isb Columbia wouii. hear of no other man for tho j opitioa, and he wa loudly and unanimously .icclaimed its executive again. "'lhe entertainment provided for the visitm at Vancouver was the Qu est ever gicmi in'iiihers of the associa tion. The Druniiiion government con tributed ".'Kill r i r this purpose and the citizens and city council SjOO more. At tho banquet held there Friday evening the entertainment was royal I ami permeated by the best of good j fellowship, lhe close relations be- j tween the United States and Canadian lrmt growers was further cemented. ! "With practically all tbe officers of I the association from Oregon this year I aud the next meeting place in Port-) laud, 1 hope that tbe Kose City will respond generously to entertain our Canadian cousins, who promise to sand the largest delegation from Brit ish Columbia tbat has ever attended any meeting iu tbe states. The meet ing will be held some ti ne next De cember aud growers all over tbe state i bave expressed themselves as anxious to make it a big success." The seven minute talk which helped A. I. Mason win tbe first prize ou a commercial box, was as follows: "Mr. Chairman, Honorable Judges, Ladies aud Gentlemen: "It gives nie pleasure to stand be fore you tonight and defend a client who has so many friends and no ene mies. No attorney ever stood before the bar of justice and defended a mora noble cause. Let us now exam ine my Yellow Newtown olient and as certain just where we should place It. "As to size, I have selected this size SO apples to the box because it is a normal one and meets tho great est demand In our markets both at borne and abroad. "As to color, 'tU true tbat eaob of these apples are possessed with golden cheeks adorned with a crimson blush, but that blush was designed by Him, who knows the goodness, the purity aud the perfection in all things. Thee blushes may be a little more rosy touight ou account of this excit ing occasion. "As to quality it should be subdi vided Into two patts, first as to taste, second as to keeping of fruit. In con sidering taste, we llud it has been pronounced perfect by the highest au thority in the world, the United States Pomnlogical society. As to keeping quality, it haa no superior It is no iiuuommon ooourenoe to serve ripe strawberries and Yellow New towns on the same banquet table. The gtower can sell them at picking time or iu the f Mowing Juno. "As to pack. Most all packs show for themselves, but 1 must call your attention to this pack, relative to tbe size of the apple and box. Most any one cau pack a straight three or four tier pack, but to put this size apple into your leg dized box, in an attrac tive mauuer, is a work of art. You will observe tbe end apples are low enough to prevent bruising, while the ueater ones form a tiue onrre to re ceive the spriog of tbe cover. "As to uniformity, they are as near uniform as the human eye cau deteot. As to blemishes, why sirs, there are no blemishes. They are just as perfect iu tbe bottom as on tbe top, and just as pertoot in the middle as either ton or bottom. "Now, honorable judges, I desire to impress upon your minds what other people think of these apples. What does the grower think of them? He knows they are hiB best money mak ers. Que of my neighbors sold this season $1800 worth of Yellow Newtown apples from one acre of ground, lhe tree bears regularly and its fruit sells loadily. Tbe commission man loves them because be runs ni chance ot them falling down either iu price or keeping quality. Tbe retailer buys thorn because his customers are bor ing him to death if he don't keep them for sale. The consumer buys the n because be knows they are the best apples on earth. No apple, en tered lu this contest here tonight, date face tbe Yelllow Newtown in competition as to quality in tbe opin ion of the public "Honorable judges, there is one reason whyjthisjbox of apples has no superior here tonight, which may be a little hard for you to understand, yet if you will search tbe reoords of all tbe large commission houses on both continents and ascertain from whence comes the highest ptioed ap ples, said prices being based upon their extreme perfection, their high tlavor and unrivaled keeping quality, you will receive tbe one universal an swer, from Hood Kiver, Ore. There is something In our soil, in our climate aud in our system ot placing them up on tbe markets that adds value to every box of our apples, and this box is one of them. "The Yellow Newtown Is very juicy and tender aud has a mild sub-aold flavor. It is mellow yet crisp; it is sour yet sweet, and it is at home iu the kitchen or in tbe parlor. Her majesty, Queen Victoria, tor many years before her death gave it first honor on her table, and I must not forget to toll you that the little valley that produced this box of apples fur nisbed the larger portion of those ap ples. "Your humble servant hasjjfor Sev ern I years pnst assisted in satisfying his excellency, King Edward, with this same vaiiety of P.pplos. "lhe best markets of the world are always asking for Yellow Notwnwns. Without auy fear of suoccessful con tradiction they lead all r thers in tbe export trade. All other varieties here iu this contest tonight, combined, would not equal the demand and sup ply of this variety in the export trade. And why all this? Simply because the consumers of the old, ar well as the new world, have long since learned its many good qualities. "Honorable judges, I am not de fending a now aud untried variety of apple. It has been on tho markets for several generations and tbe child has learned to lisp its linn qualities with the same enthusiasm of bis grandfather. All I ask of you iu to givu my client tbat whiob it deserves. If you are still In doubt as to wbicb is tbe best apple, not only bore to uight but in tbe world, go with me into all tbe great maikets and here you will be convinced. Every large market in Germany, France, England, and the whole of Europe, is today paying more for the Yellow Newtown thati any other apple. "In conclusion, 1 want you to re member that wherever you find an Englishman, either in England, Can ada or America, ask him what apple he likes best ot all, and be will tell yon, unless he is a competitor here tonight, tbat it is the Yellow New town. And now, honorable judges, on behalf of my client, we are not de Biting to beg any honors, we stand on our own merits. If defeated in this contest, new history will te made for mv Yellow Newtown client. "We know your verdiot will be the voice of your conscience aud we feel satisiled to rest the case with you.

Beaver State Herald. Chas. Prindle caught n splendid speoimen of the grey eagle iu a ooyoto trap on his place near Fetsil a few days ago. The great bird luca-uros six feet teu inches from tip to tip, and, what is more remarkable, is as gentle and as playful as a kitten. Being caught in tbe trap by the claws, the eagle was uninjured, and made no fuss whatever when taken out ot tha trap. Mr. Prindle carried tbe eagle borne and placed it iu a largo wooden box, where tbe chiidieu teed it and pet it alternately. Fossil Journal. Tbe Northern Paolllo was fined ?1000 tor violation of the new 10-hour law by Judge Linn of the superior coutt.
