FIRST CANADIAN SHOW A SUCCESS The first large apple show held in Canada week before last wuh a distinct cucceBH according to Chris GrciHen, of Better Fruit, who attended the Show. He Bays of it: "The Canadian Apple Show at Van couver was the first of its kind that our cousins across the border have pulled off and it certainly was, if not the largest, the best and greatest show yet in point of finality and beauty of arrangement. Lvery show, so far, goes one better than the last. The Vancouver Show was held in the Horshotv Building, which has a splendid large arena in the middle and a seating capacity of about 8000. The seats are arranged in tiers in oval form. On the seats next to the sides all around the arena, apples were arranged from three feet high to above the boxes, which made a wonderful sight. In the center of the arena were the district and limited displays, liy "limited" I mean two barrels, two boxes, two jars and two baskets. Among the limited displays, the one entered last year at Spokane Hnd which was thought at the National Apple Show, to be the best, but did not get a prize there, received the first pme at Vancouver. It was entered from Grand Forks, I!. C. The background was black velvet and the trimmings wcro red ribbons and red carnations with yellow and red apples displayed thereon. Of the district displays, Kelowna, B. C. won the First I'rize. Vernon H. C, the Second and Grand Forks, the Third. The quality of the fruit in these district displays whs far superior to any Bhown and shows the wisdom of not having a quantity of fruit, but having it of the very best. Of course in these district displays the artistic arrangement was taken into account and a certain number of points given. There were 11 carload exhibits en tered: ono from Kelowna, H. C, one from Summerland, It. C, 2 from Vernon, H. C, one from Victoria, B. C, one from Grand Forks, H. C, three from Yakima Wash., one of Newtowns and one of Spitzenlmrgs ana one or Grimes iioldcn trotn Wenat chee; ono mixed carload was entered and one carload of Newtown l'ippins rrom Mecuoni, ure. The sweepstakes prize was taken bv Kelowna with a magnificent carload of Jonathans. They were packed 120 to special box, diagonal pack and look ing over this car 1 failed to find ono apple varying in sio or color from another. It was a sight worth seeing, txw doxcs oi apples uniorm in size and of perfect color. ine second sweepstakes prize was won by Summerland for a carload of mixed varieties. The third sweepstakes prize went to Medford Koguo River Valley for a straight car or Newtowns. in the pack one mistake was made. Sonic were packed calix ends up instead of stem end up or on their sides. Kelowna received tho I argot number oi rum rrizes. more was a Display of homo products, such as canned fruit and so forth, and for vinegar an cider Hood luver captured the great prize. 1 hit) was quite a credit as it was tho only entry Hood River made at tins show. This was tho first real "Nntiona snow lor trie reason that mere were apples there front every apple grow ing district in the nonunion of Canada besides an exhibit from Australia. Manager Maxwell Smith and Secretary It. G. Monroe deserve the greatest credit for the success of this show. The courtesy shown to exhibitors as wen as io visuors was an mill could no desired. ? As entertainment in the afternoons and evenings, the celebrated 4Sth Highlander Band from Toronto gave concerts, singing tn'ottisli songs anil giving Scotch dances, which were greatly appreciated and drew big cowus. fining among me crowd on the elevated seats, with the gorgeous display ot many colored apples in view and listening to the band in its picturesque "Highland "dress the color eiiect was really something not easily to be forgotten. The Show will pro bably be held in Toronto next year. A banquet was given on Saturday the lust day of the show, to the judges, principal exhibitors, and the press, in the Dutch Grill, 1 must say from this side of the ilino, that what ever our cousins across the border do, they certainly are up-to-date in every respect. The banquet itself was the tremendous success. The Show was opened and closed with much ceremony and pomp, which in itself was very impressive Jbut perhaps not sufficiently appreciated by the people from this side. However, 1 cannot help finding one small fault with the show and that is the almost complete absence of American flags. There were only four lonely "Old Glories" in the whole arena. As far as the fruit industry is concerned, there should really be no Border line. Our interests here in the great West ure the same. We are tho "bread basket" as far as the fruit busniess is concerned for the world at large and we should work in unity for the distribution of our splendid apples. Points to this effect were brought up at the banquet and were much appreciated." BUYERS PRAISE IIUKARI APPLES Steinhardt & Kelly, of New York, who have purchased a large part of the Hood River crop for the pust three seasons, have been highly pleased with the apples which have been shipped recently by A. liukari and they have so expressed themselves in a recent letter to the Apple Growers Union, through which Mr. liukari ships. This little note from the big buyers shows that even though they do an enormous volume of business, at the same time they do it in such a de tailed fashion that they know whore the apples nro coming from which show tne greatest care in grading and packing. Hood River growers should never be lax in putting up their fruit according to tho best standards as poor packing and grading reflects not only upon the valley, us a whole, but upon the particular grower, who fails to do his best in the praiseworthy manner which Mr. liukari has done. The letter addressed bv the New York firm to the Union follows: "We desire to commend to you the pack and selection of Spitzonburgs shipped by A. Hukari, No. 42. We particularly want to commend him to your notice and to have you communi cate with him and tell him how very much pleased wo are with the way hiB fruit is being put up. We take pleasure in picking out this man's pack because we have noticed lately quite a number of your packers who are not to the very highest standard." G. 1). Woodworth was in 1'ortland last week.

Flashes From Tine Grove Grange. The exceedingly busy season is now drawing to a close, and all are looking forward to well earned rest and re creation. Having great'faith in the old maxim that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," Pine Grove Grange has decided that as" no dull bovs are allowed" its up to them to provide an amusement program that will "drive dull care away." Fully realizing the progressive spirit v. raw r CopyrlfM 1910 These two OVERCOAT models are typical of York. They have that "distinct" look which characterizes every Alfred Benjamin garment whether its price is twenty or fifty. You cannot obtain a better fittinsr Overcoat than either of these at the shop of the besrt custom tailor you know. Glad to show you. IT T A vosrt of the town and valley it required care and thought to secure the best to be had. The trustees made an excel lent choice when they secured numer ous talent through the Britt Lyceum Bureau which will appear here from time to time this winter. Bess Gearheart Morrison, interpretative reader, will entertain at Pine Grove Hall Nov 2fi. The event is looked for ward to with great interest, as she is an artist of great ability, winning her audience at the start and holding them in close sympathy with her to th e end of the program. That she is very popular is attested by the return calls she always receives after rendering a program. Do not forget the 26th of November and we will let you know of the other good things later on.

R. & N. is laying rails on the Troutdale-St. Johns branch, and the ?'ile drivers are also at work driving or trestles where fills have not yet been made. Many long fills have been made across the low places westward from Troutdlae toward St. Johns. Much of the grading has been done on this cut-off, but it will probably be next Autumn before the new track is finished between Troutdale and St. Johns. The track follows the Colum bia Slough road closely along the north side. The Famous Does Not Strain the Eyes Don't use a small, concentrated light over one shoulder. It puts an unequal strain on your eyes. Use a diffused, soft, mellow light that cannot flicker, that equal izes the work of the eyes, such as the Kayo Lamp gives, and avoid eye strain. The Rayo is designed to give the best light, and it does. It has a strong, durable shade-holder that is held firm and true. A new burner gives added strength. Made of solid brass and finished in nickel. Easy to keep polished. The Rayo Is low priced, but no other lamp gives a better light at any price. Once a Rayo Uer, Always One. daltri Evtrywhirt.
