Robbed
Our Fall Line of Ladies' Suits and Coats and Children's Coats was robbed in
transit and almost half of it stolen. It breaks the line of sizes, and as they were
not careful in replacing the goods in the box they are slightly mussed, and for
this reason we are making a very attractive price on the lot. Call in and look
them over. You will appreciate every article as a bargain : : : :

HOOD RIVER APPLES
THE WORLD'S BEST
Ibe Chicago Packer, wbiob recently
bad a lepresentative bere, priuU in
iti last issue a column and a half ar
ticle about Hood Kiver, of which the
following is part:
This la where they grow the big ap
ples that are famous the world over
and wbiob bave sold for the highest
prioe ever paid for applet grown nuy
where in America. lleie in this
beautiful little talley, at the foot of
now crowned Alt. Hood, applea grow
wbiob are shipped all over the civiliz
ed would, and the lusolousnees of
whioh ia enjoyed by the settler in
Bouth Africa, the inhabitant of Si
beria, the sous and daughters of tbe
Orient and tbe bardy fortuue seekers
of Alaska. Ibeae apples gi every
where and ure sold in all of tbe mar
kets of tbe woild. Perhaps there is
not a plaoe in tbe world wbeie tbe
apples produoed are more sought aftei
and Ond a more ready sale than tboso
produoed bere. Before tbe crop Is
fully matured buyers begin to get in
touob with tbe local snippers and utu
lally befoie gathering time tbe eutlre
crop bas been sold to tbe orobard at
pries that would make tbe average ap
ple grower gasp with aatoniabment.
Laat year and tbe year before tbe
whole orop was disposed ot in this
way, tbe lowest price paid being II 50
a box and tbe blgbeat M.27 a box.
The Upitzenberg is tbe variety of
apple that does beat bere and brings
the best prioe. Last year tbe fancy
Hpitzenbergs sold f. o. b. at $'1.27 a
box. Ibis was tbe prioe bid for tbe
entire output ot tbe liood Kiver Ap
ple Urowers Union, which practically
meant all tbe fancy Spitzeobergs lu
tbo Hood Hirer valley. Tbe bidder
was tbe Davidson Fruit Co. of this
place. Other grades of Hpitzen bergs
sold at from M.25 to 93.
Ibe Yellow Newtowu Pippin ranks
second in this valley In quality and
market value. They sold last year at
from $1.75 to 82.25 a box. Ihey an
excellent keepers and can be shipped
all over the world. They bate some
ripples bere now ot last year's groMtb
aud tbey aie as sound aud perfect as
they were the day tbey were taken
from tbe tree. Ihey bave never been
in oold storage, either. Hood Kiver
apples bave been shipped to Europe,
to South Africa aud to Cbina and
tbey have cert led so perfectly that
when tbey reached their destination
they were lu as good condition as
when tbey started from this station,
their carrying qualities ara unex
celled. Last year there were 175 oars of ap
ples shipped from this valley. Ibis
year It is estimated that tbe ship
menta will reach 250 cars. A large
number of new orchards have come
into bearing this yenr and then tbe
yield is very large. Tbe fruit U uu
usually flue this season and. If posal
ble. the quality excells that of last
year's orop.
Tbe Hood River Apple Urowers Un
ion handles at least UU per cent of
tbe shipments from this valley and It
is very careful to see tbat tbe fruit
that is parked tor eastern shipments
is ot tbe very tlneat quality. Ibe
union bas always beeu proud of the
reputation tbat the Hood Kiver apples
bave made for themselves In the niai
kets ot tbe world and it is seemingly
dtermlned to guard tbat reputatlou
with zealous care. This year a rule
of tbe uuion is to the ettect tbat its
fancy pack will contain perfeot apples
only and tbat all lmperreotlons, Dow
ever si ght, will be ruled out. Tbe
apples must not only be perfeot but of
uniform size.
No apples are shipped east exoept
the fancy pack. Hie choice pack is
bo Id in the western markets. Heavy
shipments of choice pack were made
to Alaska last year and good prices
were realized by tbe shippers. Prou
aply about 76 cars of Hood River i p
idea went to Nnw loik last season
This amount will be likely Increased
to almost twice as much tbis year.
Provides Many lard for Yakima.
Fruit shipments from North Yakima
at tbis time are averaging about ten
cars a day. The warm weather ia
bringing tbe Iruit in fairly rapidly
but tbe Immense total shipped lust
week bas bad tbe effect of pretty well
cleaulng up all exoept tbe later stuff
uear North Yakima. Tbe lower valley
is about shipped out of the immediate
fruit. There lemaiua in cold storage
here, it is understood, some 15 or 20
cars ot peaches wbiob will require
icing when tbey are shipped, which
will be before long.
There are in the railroad yard bere
to some sixty empty refrigerator cars
held in waiting for tbe shippers when
they ask for them. One feature about
the work this summer to date bas
been tbe manner iu wbiob tbe rail
road has furnished ioed oars when
sought by those sending out tbe fruit.
There have been oomplalnts, or at
least grumbling, of some delay iu
moving cars or slowness in travel after
tbey have been turned over by tbe
abippers. These, however, have tut
been serious aud up to tbis time it is
safe to say, the railroad end ot tbe
buslueis has beeu very satisfactory ail
along tbe line and much better thau
was anticipated by those wbo retain a
liroly recollection of what ooourred
last year. Yakima Republic

Prom Ueo. T. Pratber, secretary of
tbe Hood River Pioneer Historical
Association some interesting informa
tion in regard to tbe Hood Kiver
postolHce and Its postmasters is nb
taiued. Tbe Brut postmaster at Hood
River is said to have been James M.
lienson wbo established tbe first post
office bere iu 185U and conducted it
on the what is now the button place
which be tbeu owned. Succeeding
bim Cbas. Coe became postmaster
and moved tbe office to tbe Coo place,
a aboit distance west of t'wn. Henry
Coe succeeded Charlie Coo aud after

tbe Oregon Lumber Co From there
it was moved to tbe building now
oocupied by Carl Koss. Tbo next
change took it back to where tbe
Eliot building now stands, but as the
succeeding postmaster evlileutyly
thought varviety was the spice of life
be bopped it across the street to Hie
Urosius building. In order to keep
up the game of postollloe, where is
the postotfioe, from tbe Urosius build
up it was moved down to the 1'rutDer
building, corner of First aud Uak, by
Mrs. Cbampliu. However, as it bad
not quite made tbe rounds of town,
It was brought by the next pnni mus

Loomls, of the E. P. Lcomis
Mew York, is iu North Yukima
asya tbe Yakima Republic,
oalling upon J. M. Perry, with whom
tbe firm does considerable riuslness
He bas been for weeks iu tbe fruit
sections and confesses otiudidly thi.t
there are some phases ot the situation
that be does not know anything about.
for. example, be does not know what
the prices on apples will be and be
does not know any one else wuo does.
He calls attention to tbe fact that so
far as known no price has beeu named
by tbe buyers aud not a sale mado.
At tbia time last year, and three
weeks before it, over a score of east
ern buyers bad been through tbis
territory and all soits ot transactions
bad been carried through.
People bere. Mr. Loomis says, bave
no conception of the conditions in the
east. As a result of last year tbe
eastern dealers are not only out ot
their capital but they bave been cut
down by tbe banks, who know, of
course, of their looses, aud as a conse
quence there will be less buying
power in tbe held when nicking time
comes tbau ever before. Wbat little
money there is will be Invested by
buyers at prices so low as will seem
to all. growers unreasonable when
compared with tbe high prices of last
year.
"At Hood Kiver, Wenatcbee, Yak
ima, Dayton and the Payette valley,"
said Mi. Loin la, "there are excellent
crops; really enormous crops ot
applea, and Paonia, Col., had about
GOO oars of peaches aud apples. Colo
radao, however, bas been hard bit and
will not have much, it any, fruit for
eastern shipment. There will be some
tor local use and for southern ship
ment. Colorado iu some sections had
this year its third sunceHsive seasou
of frost and some ot tbe people 1 met
were looking pretty serious.
"High quailty fruit and real estate
specualutlona do not go bund iu hand.
Tbe best fruit is tbat grown in the
orobard of the muu who makes it his
permanent working place. What 1
mean s tbat an orchard put out to aid
the sale of tbe laud is a neglected or
obard and does not produce the high
giade fruit tbe eastern market is
looking for. Real estate communities
therefore suiter. One can tell the
moment he enters an orchard whether
it is cultivated as tbe borne orobard,
or permanent investment, of tbe own
er or is intended to be sold. The best
fruit ia produced in those sections
where each grower is attempting to
make bis individual brand superior to
and more sought after tbau Hint of
bis neighbor. Of oourse each seotiou
bas some fruit for which it is partic
ularly adapted aud it must make the
most ot its advantage in that respect
