ARTHUR D. MOB. PabHsker.
MR. IIAKKIMAX kSD ORKI.OX.
It U reartonibly iuimised thoob
it cau be only a surmise says the
Oiegon Journal, that the invitation
of Mr llarriman to tb governor,
Mr. O'Brien and Mr. rjUnUy ludi
cntea an Inteoti in on bit part to be
gin building a railroad through ceo
ti at Oregoo--or at least that be bai
ttin iirojt-ot in contemplation.
it is kunwu tbat Mr. lUrriiuan
tiied to forure oertain rights ot way
into Crook county from the north
tint had been acquired by others,
and came near aucoeeding; and It ii
with reference to the sltuatlou in
that region, probably, tbnt he desires
to talk with Mr. Stanley. It in to te
hoped tbat the great railroad magnate
will not be able to secure all tbe.
rootea from tbe nortb, as he baa from
tbe aouth and eatt, into central Ore
gon, unless upon a positive certainty
tbat he will Immediately build a road,
or roada though of course enough
money will buy any auoh property or
rights.
Tbat Mr. O'Brien should be aent
for ia not significant, for Mr. O'Brien
ia Harriman's executive aim in Ore
gon, and would need to be aeeo in
auy event; but tbat the governor,
with bia well-known views, should be
invited, may, aa conjectuied, be quite
aigniQoant. We may take it aa at
least a bopefol sign.
If Mr. Ilarrlaian will "turn loose"
and build needed roada within "hit
territory" In Oregon, people will for
get and foigive the past. They will
not complain about ratber high rates,
high enough to yield a good big In
come upon tbe Investment. If Mr.
Harrlrnan tbluka at last tbat it would
be well to help develop Oregou and
make trlenda instead of enemies of its
people, he is nurturing a wise notion,
and tbey will meet him half way.
liut the people of Oregon kuow, and
keenly feel, and their governor will
tell Mr. liarrlman so, tbat It Is high
time for him to act. Oregon cannot,
must not and will not continue muob
longer to lis repressed and half
sbaokled for laok of railroads which It
baa seemed Mr. ilurrluiau only can
build. , liut great as be Is, Mr. Hani
niau oaunot keep Oregoo under bis
thumb muob longer, Capital other
than hit baa discovered Oiegon, and
bo cannot keep it out. There must
be extensions and even multiplica
tions of railroad in Oregon, and
atrong at ha la Mr. ilarilmao cannot
much louger repress them. Hill is al
ready here and others are coming.
Mr. liarrlman Is great, but there are
still big men beadiea him.
liut perhaps be la going to move lu
tills mutter. This luvitation may
well be Interpreted as a probability
of such a movement. And If tbh
construction of tbe Incident should
prove correct, all Oregon would re
joice and extend the band of friend
ship to Mr. liarrlman.

The action arises from tbe alleged
delay ot the railroad company in fur
nisliin; refrigerator cars for apples
from Washington, it is asserted by
tbe company that during tbe first Bf
teeu daya of November last fruit was
ready for shipment ut Topped ish and
Nortb Yakima, Wasri., aud that tbe
railroad compauy was uotilled of this
fact aud asked to provide oars. Tbe
oars came, but tbe plulntitt company
asserts tbat tbe cars were not furnish
ed on time and that the apples over
ripened and decreased in value.
A'ew York Apple Market
There it a good demand for large,
red apples, but there is hardly sulU
oieut quantity of tbis fruit around to
meet trade requirements. Receipts
are running heavy and the stock is
coming in all torts of packages. Much
ot it is poor and has to be worked out
to tbe bakers and tbe cheaper trade,
snys tbe Produce News. Three or
four cars from Uermaotown were re
ceived this week. The applet were
small and did not do very well. Tbe
bulk of the Hudson river fruit ia com
ing by steamer. Present prioes are
very good considering tbe quality of
the fruit and the growers are making
good money. It is feared, however,
that when it comes to buying full and
whiter varieties -buyers will be tired
of paying such blgb prloea and will
be anxious to gel fruit at a better fig
ure. Tbe Hudson shippers are not
living up to tbe letter of tbe law and
hut tew ot tbe small barrels ooming
are marked abort barrels. It was
thought tbat tbe state law was rigidly
enforced, but many of tbe shippers
when they found that the authorities
were not very strict refused to mark
their barrels. Some consulted receiv
ers here and when it wat learned that
nothing was done to prohibit the use
of short barrels, very little wat done
to see tbet they were properly mark
ed. Tbe Porter bill now before con
gress would meau much mere than
tbe state law and If that bill is enact
ed all short barrels will have to be
brauded.
The Hudson river crop Is not show
ing up as largo as It wna at Qrst ex
pected. RepurU received early In tbe
season iudioated tbat tbero would be
a tremendous yield, but the harvest
does not bear out tbis report. Any
good red fruit readily sells at trom
2.50 to $3.50. Fancy Alexandria!
if they oould be obtained would read
ily command $4. Greeu truit tolls at

There is practically no denjand for
old apples. A few receivers who have
any are doing their best to work
them out. The bakers' who use tbit
stock for pies are about the only out.
let there is aud most of tbese prefer
freuh stock. Old applet are abowing
soald and tor eating purposes cannot
be used at all. There will be quite a
sprinkling for export tbia week. Last
week tbe total sblpmeritt reached
about 30 barrels, but this week it will
be considerably heavier. The demand
is mostly from Scotland. The English
markets are supplied with home lruit
uud it is not until later iu the season
wheu this is out of the way that there
will be a strong call tor Amerlcau ap
ples. England is not able to produce
good winter fruit.
A few Kings came in this week.
They were small and lacked color, but
they sold 11.50. This is very early
for this variety, as generally tbe first
at rivals are ou the markets by the
tlrst of September.

GET VALUABLE HOOD
RIVER LAND FOR SONG
C. II. Strauahau, James Mears and
Chas. Dano were granted deeds to
valuable property at Hood Kiver last
week which tbey aoquired something
more than a year ago by paying tbe
amount of the delinquent tewer as
sessment against it. One ot the par
cels of land secured by Stranaban Is
tbe north half of block 4, just west ot
tbe old armory building, which be got
for about 950, In it there are a num
ber of building lots valued at from
$100 to $500 apiece. Tbe total value
of this piece ot property it estimated
at $3,500 to $4,000. Mr. Stranaban
also secured a block located ou the
bill, which Is estimated to be worth in
the neighborhood of $2,000 for about
$52. This property was in tbe name
of Susan Fritbea and efforts to locate
her or ber heirs have proved fruitless.
Tbe property secured by Mr. Mears
is tbe south halt of block 4, fronting
on Caaoade avenue aud is considered
still more valuable than that ot Mr.
Stranaban 'i. Altogether it has cost
Mr. Mears about $200 and contains
seven One building lots. The proper
ty secured by Mr. Dano is also located
in this section and is fully aa valuable
as that secured by' tbe others. This
property was formerly owned by tbe
Hood River Development Co., which
tailed to redeem it after it was sold
by tbe marshall tor delinquent assess
ments held by tbe city agaiust it.

Tina James and Chin Chau, aged

nt Nortb Yakima last week by tbe
Rev. F, C. Whitney and Tina's father
did not get the $300 he said tbe groom
should pay him for the privilege of
marrying bis daughter. Chan la a
christian and wheu Papa James made
tbe $300 proposition he balked. He
wasn't buying a bride. The- bride's
mother, more moved by sentiment
than ber spouse, was willing tbe mar
riage should be held without any pay
ment" of a fee, but Papa James was
firm. '
So the courtship was baited until
Mrs, James consulted a lawyer and
fouud tbat ber consent aloue was all
tbat was necessary to securing. the
marriage lioense of her young daugh
ter aud ber lover, and she decided to
rebel from ber husband's flat. So she
