FRUIT PROSPECTS
ARE DECLARED GOOD
While the returnf of all the auction
that have been bhipping fruit from the
district fur the past season will he dis
appointing to the crowers, a" I'""'
market men declare that orchaniisU
s.iuuld fetl optimittic over the pros
pects for next year's crop. Wilmer
Sieg. sales manager of the North pa
cific Fruit lhstributors. declares that
the outlook for a I iter distribution
the coming season is fine. "All indica
tions point to a far smaller output of
apples than last year. Those district
where the harnyard fruit not only sup
plied the home connumption but ena
bled the growers to chip out poor stuff
with which the market remained glut
ted all winter, will barely have enough
to supply their own conhumption this
year. "
The local crop.according to Mr. hieg,
will be about !UO,KM) boxes, the output
of the past year. However, the quality
of this year's fruit, LecauHe of the
barge acreage of young trees that is
coming into bearing will be far better
than last year, when so many of the
old orchards bore heavily, yielding off
size fruit, that did not draw a top
price in the market. Mr. Si eg cays
that hia inspectors report that growers
are'lnarning better that good thinning
ia necessary for the best grades of
commercial apples, and the thinning
this season is heavier than usual.
The growers who shipped through
the Union will receive their checks
this week, about :i.ri,WlO, the balance
due them on the apple crop.
Mr. Sieg declares that the growers
should feel glad - that the condition
which hB confronted orehardiHts this
year came aB soon as it did. "If the
crisis had come in 19 1.1, when the crop
output had been doubled, the disaster
would have been doubled," he sayB.
"Aa it is, new methods of marketing
are going to he taken hold of by grow
ers, who are also going to see the need
of producing the highest cluss of com
mercial fruit peculiar to the northwest
ern districts,"
Mr. Sieg says that the North Pacific
Distributors are receiving letters from
all parts of the countryjfrom growers,
asking advice aa to proceeJing on simi
lar lines. Communications of this na
ture have come from Koswell, New
Mex., Sebastopol. Calif., and from the
Colorado fruit sections. The Canadian
growers have already organiezd a cen
tral selling agency in the province of
Hritish Columbia, and the institution
will be under the supervision of the
government to a certain extent.

Cinders which came three or four

proof.

and that it was thought an agreeme
would be reached between Hood Hivcr
county and the railway company.
The Multnomah county agreement,
which has been approved by the dist
rict attorney, permits the county to
construct the new road on the railroad
right of way at various points along
the river, covering about three miles
in all. On the other hand, the county
has agreed to protect the railroad
tracks from slides by building concrete
retaining walls where necessury and to
complete the road within three years.
It is stated that the concessions made
by the railroad will save the .county
many thousands of dollars in the ex
pense of grading and tunneling. The
county commissioners already have
prepared to establish prison camps at
two points'along the line of the road to
utilize convict labor in the construc
tion of the highway.

action by saying that he thought the

peace by the people ot Husum precinc
last fall, together with the fact that
he previouslyheld the otlice, gave him
the power to marry the cuuple. He
used his authority aB a notary public in
certifying the return for the reason
that he has not yet tiled a bund and
qualified for the otlice of justice of the
peace since he was elected the lust
time. The election returns on file in
the auditor's otlice show that Mr. Olsen
was elected justice of peace last No

phlea of that time, and declare that
tie was a successful Egyptian general;
but It Is for us to follow the Bible ac
count The time waa nearing when
Sod Intended to bring the Israelite
jut of Egypt Into the Land of Prom-Ise-an
Illustration of the atill more
wonderful deliverance by the Greater
than Mosea, which now Is nearing.
God's providences may be noted In
respect to the experlencee of Moses,
who Is credited
by the Lord with
having been "the
meekest , man In
all the earth."
(Jod wanted a
meek man for
the Important o
sltlou which He
Intended Moses
to fill. Moses'
lessons and ex
periences helped
to make him
meek. Who can
not see that, If he had been proud and
arrogant, be would have been uufit for
the duties and responsibilities devolv
ing upon him as leader of his people?
Perhans no tunn had a more atmcuil
task than that represented In Moses'
forty years with Israel In the wilder
ness. We may be sure that he waa
prepared for the ordeal only by the
experiences of the preceding eighty
years of his life.
The adopted son of the Egyptian
princess, Moses must hnve been a
court favorite, and In danger of culti
vating pride and arrogance. Aa an off
set, he had eontliimtlly before blra the
fact that his features were Jewish,
and that thus every one had knowledge
of his identity with the despised and
opprenned people. The tendency would
naturally lie toward one of two
courses: Either he would seek to Ig
nore the Hebrews and to become more
and more Identitled with the Egyp
tians, or else he would exercise faith
In the special promises or whicn nis
people were heirs as children of Abra
ham, Isaac and Jacob.
St. Paul notes that Moses was a vic
tor In this test. Ho chose to suffer af
fliction with the people of God rather
than to enjoy the honors which might
have been his as an adopted member of
the rojul family. (Hebrews 11:24-20.)
To Moses the Promise which God made
to Abraham, and repeated to Isaac
and Jacob, and which still awaits ful
filment, was more to be desired than
all the riches and honors of earth.
Motet Discouraged, Heartbroken.
Trusting In the Lord's Promise,
Moses believed that the time had come
for the deliverance of the Israelites
from bondage. He knew well of his
miraculous preservation, aud had the
assurance of God's Promise that this
signified that God had a special work
for htm to do. He was anxious to be
gin that work. He knew not or nis
own unreadlness-that be would require
forty years more of special schooling.
An occasion to show his zeal for his
brethren came wheu he saw an Egyp
tian abusing one of them. Moses
threw blmaelf Into the sctitllo. The
Egyptian was killed. Moses perceived
that none of the Egyptians knew or
the matter, so he quietly burled the
victim lu the sund. He doubted not
that his brethren would realize thut he
was their friend and defender, aud
would look to him with confidence as
their lender, when God's providence
would open the door for them to leave
Egypt.
ltut all Ills dieains faded when, next
day, he perceived that there was uo
such loyalty among his brethren, aud
that they were ready to deliver him
to the Egyptian authorities. Thorough
ly discouraged and fearing for his life,
Moses fled to the wilderness of Mldlan.
It looked as though all his education
and development had gone to waste.
Motes Jethro't Shepherd.
As the fugitive sttt upon the casing
of a well, shepherds brought their
flocks for water. Amongst the sheep-

for forty yeors. He did not at the'
time understand the Lord's provi
dences lu his affairs; but be was all
those years learning a most Important
lessou of meekness, of full submission
to the Divine will. When the lesson
had been learned, God's time had come
to put His thus doubly educated ser

which he never could have been quali
