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."

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."

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.

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.
Watch for another

Cut Off Progressing.
The 0. 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.
