Surplus $35,000 All Right for Corn The farmer plants hit corn in the ground, because he knows that it will increase thereby. But the wise farmer knows that the ground is no place for hia money. He plants his surplus money in the bank for the same reason he puts the corn in the ground. Money hid or buried about the house or grounds not only fails to increase, but it stands a chance of being lost entirely. We make a specialty of farmers' accounts, offering every possible accommodation consistent with good banking.

It is de clared that the amount of American apples exported have been exaggerated. A great demand is expected for canned fruits of all kinds, and as a conse quence a larger percentage of fresh fruits will be consumed in home mar kets. With the Internationl Apple Shippers convened at their annual convention in Boston last week, all fruit and trade journals of the country paid espceial attention to apples. The pages of the publicaions presented one apple advertisement-those of buyers as well as sellers-after another. Jn the Packer, one of the largest fruit and produce journals of the coutnry, the North Pa citic Fruit Distributors had a double pane space, showing the trade pictures of the 90 cold storage plants controlled by them in the Northwest. Among these cuts appeared the likenesses of all local warehouses and lant. From a genreal viewpoint, the apple market will be enormous this year. Ihe New York crop eems in excellent shape, as does that of Virginia. All western and northwestern districts point to a good yield. Ihe I'acker sizes up tne situation state by state, lielow are given ehort items taken from its articles aim bulle tins of last week : The Kansas crop is scattering, borne sections will have a gooil yield, wnne other districts will be cut short. Such condition on account of local droughts will prevail all through the south and middle west. A big yield is looked for in Canada. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick orch ards ure loaded. Nebraska's crop is in fair shape. Ihe average is better than that of last year. Ihe Maine estimate at the present time indicates that the crop will be argur than that of last year. Nearly all reports from districts in Utah indicate an increased yield over that of last year. Ihe Michigan apple crop is normal Several sections have been badly at fected with scab. Montana's crop is good, and several hundred carloads will be shipped this year from producing belts around Ham ilton. In New Mexico, where the growers have been paving more attention than ever to the culture of their trees, the biggest crop in years will probably result. Indications are in Arkansas produc ing bells that tne crop win ne neavier than that of last vear. Missouri s crou is reoorted as normal. The Indiana crop is short of that of last vear. Having escaped the aroutns ana no serious storms having prevailed, me Virginia orchards will exceed yields of several years cast. With an increased interest in truii growing throughout the state, Texas will have more apples than last year. The outlook for an apple crop in the Rockv mountain districts and i'acinc const states is much more bright at this time than lust year. This is es necially true in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Idaho. 'Ihe ureal Central Western states, occupying the territory known as the Mississippi and Missouri valleys and the Lake region, will have a good crop onlv in snots this vear. Drouths will out short the crops of Tennessee and Kentucky. The Packer's estimate for the Ore gon crop is as follows: Reuorts to the I'acker from various sections indicate a very good crop, al though not what might be called an extraordinary yield. Hood River says the crnn is a little lamer than last vear. with a nromise for a total of around 1,300 car. Medford reports a likelihood of 7(H) cars, the crop being somewhat shortened by frost. In the Union countv district, the crop is con siderably better than a year ago, but liHt vear's vie d was very short. Ke ports from Cove estimate the yield at hII the wav from TjO to 100 cars. La favpttp Ynmhi county, expects bU cars, or three lourins 01 a norniBi crop, 25 ner cent better than last year. Mo sier estimates 60 cars, or 10 per cent increase over last year. Dufur prom bptter than last vear. Phoenix, Jackson county, expects a normal crop and about the same as lasi year, i on calla, Douglas county, promises a crop of 50 per cent larger than last year and Canyunville, in the same county, an in crease of 2.r per cent. Corvallis prom bp a l ti e lietter vield man ibhi year The government report for July 1 lists Oregon at 77, compared with 87 the same date last year, 90 two years ago and 79 on October 1, 1913. Sieg Expected Soon Wilmer Sieg, manager of the Oregon I Vice of the North Pacific Fruit Dis tributors, who has established offices n Portland, is expected back the latter art of this week from Boeton. where e and II F. Davidson have been at tending the International Apple Ship pers' Convention. The local Association has received ut little news of the convention, and the results of the apple shows have not been learned. 1 he conevntion of next year will be ed at Chicago. racking School Plans Manager A. W. Stone, of the Apple Growers' Association, states that the annual packing school will open on Sept. 7. Actual instruction will begin on Tuesday, the day following organi zation.

NEW BOAT FOR MID-COLUMBIA RUN CROSSLEY PREDICTS FOREIGN SHIPMENTS NEW STUDENTS ARE COMING HIGH SCHOOL LNCREASE FORTY-FIVE Vive Rural Districts Will Send Boys and Girls -Improvements Made in Local Buildings Announcement of the placing of the steamer State of Washington on the run to The Dalles completes the most notable week that the river steamboat men have had in years. The operation of the State of Washington on The Dalles run will make three or possibly four lines operating from Portland to The Dalles, the largest number to run there in years, says the Portland Jour nal. The State of Washington is owned by F. H. Jones, president of the WillaiTV ette & Columbia River towing com patty, who traded the tugboat CruiBer and a sum of money for her a few weeks ago. Since then she has been completely overhauled and placed in shaped for the season's run to The Dalles. Plans of the new company call for the steamer to depart each evening at 11 o'clock, returning the next day. She has excellent passenger accomoda tions and her owners expect her to become popular as a night boat. It is said that she will operate from Taylor street dock taking the wharf formerly used by the Vancouver transportation company.

FIREMEN BURN DRY GRASS PLOTS A number of important improve ments have been made in the school buildings of the city, in order that the increased attendance from the Lower Valley districts may be accomodated at the approaching fall term of tha local schools. Forty Five additional High School studenta are expected to to en roll this fall, making the total number for the year ISO. High School studenta will attend from live of the surround- ng country school district!. The Pine rove, Barrett and Duke a Valley dis tricts have voted to send all high school students to the local institution, paying for each a tuition fee of $W) per year. The Odell and Oak Grove schools will only send their studenta of the Eleventh and Twelfth grades. The High Sehool building has been remodeled and recitation rooms have been enlarged. The rooms of both the High School building and the Park Street structure are being retinted. The Manual Training Department will be conducted in the old Dark carpenter shop on Pine street on the Heights. This structure has been enlarged and remodeled. It affords convenient workshops and class rooms for the stu dents of this department Ita dimen sions are 45 by ISO feet. Ihe entire teaching force of the city schools of last year has been retained, and in addition Miss Hazel Hollenbeck, who recently took a course at the Ore gon Agricultural College, aa well aa nstruction in the Last, has been ap pointed assistant in the Domestic Science department.

McLaughlin, superin tendent of city schools, says that he ia looking forward to one of the best years in the history of the high sehool. CREAMERY BUILDING WILL BE ERECTED At a special meeting last week of the members of tho Board of Directors of the Cooperative Creamery, a lease was signed with the Apple Growers Union for the lot just west of the con crete garage building owned by Dr. J, Watt and occupied by Howe St Igalla. The creamery directora have agreed to erect an iron-clad mill construction, one story building, 30 x 50 feet. Walter u. is. smith, a member or the board of directors, has been in Port land thia week, where he has bean visiting large creamery planta and making an effort to secure second hand machinery. "We are meeting with encourage ment from all aides, says Clarence B. Collin, secretary of the board. "Grow ers are ready to buy cows, and we will have the cream for successful opera tion of the plant when we are ready." The power for the new creamery will be secured from the Apple Growers' Association, as will the cold storage, a pipe being laid from the plant of the Union warehouse nearby. The cream ery association haa agreed to pay the sum of $48 a year for the lot and to pay taxes on the property for the time of the lease, twelve years. Ilaight Buys Local Ranch J. J. Haight and family, from La- Grande, have purchased a ranch in the Valley and will move here the first of September to make Hood River their home. Mr. Haight haa been interested in wheat farming for the past few years but for many years baa been struck with a desire to live in the Hood River Valley, after having vis ited here some time ago. The property purchased was particularly adapted, for hogs, to which Mr. Haight will pay especial attention. Mr. Haight ia also an automobile enthusiast and gave aa one of the principal reasons for earning here the advantage of being on the Columbia River Highway, and within easy distance of Portland. He finally determined to kuy after reading in tha papers that the 75,000 bond iaaue had passed. The deal was negotiated through Reed & Henderson, Inc. Wauna Circle Enjoys Meeting "Foreign apple shipments may soon begin," says William Crossly, of IJ. Crosslev & sons, who have offices in New York. Liverpool ana oiasgow, "I have word from our New York office that we have some fruit ready to snip, but as yet have not been able to load it I am looking- for it to move nex week. I am hopeful of doing business with the English markets, where we get a good part of our business. The insurance companies I think will soon insure cargoes. Unless they do we will not ship; for I do not propose to take risks that an insurance company will not take." Mr. Crossley was of the opinion that the good business of other lines would increaae the sale of apples in home markets. "I have just come down from We natchee and Yakima," he said. "They have fine crops there, much larger than last year." Mr. Crossley was on his way to the Rogue River country and to Watsonville, Calif. He will return here later. Stone Urges Study of Cold Storage Manager A. W. Stone, of the Apple Grower Association, urges the grow ers of the Valley to make a close study of the different storage plants. Through experiments in the different storage houses, it is found that apples talipn from the same lots develop dif- erent keeping qualities. It is thought that some of the storage plants lack nrnner ventilating systems and that the air in the storage rooms becomes devitalized, thus causing a deteriora tion of the fruit. Residents on the Underwood and White Salmon heights were greatly alarmed Monday evening, when the sky here was made red by the grass fires that were set in different parts of the city. The members of the Volun teer Fire Department, however, had set the fires as a precautoin against possible damage later. With buckets and lengths of hose ready, to prevent damage to nearby homes and barns, the firemen burned the grass on vacant lots on Cascade avenue and Columbia street. The Heights department was busy with large 10 acre tract just west of that portion of the ity. Great volumes ot smoke poured up from the grass fires and the flames rushed rapidly through the grass, dry as tinder, making a spectacular fire. TREIBER WILL BUILD LARGE FERRY BOAT Cant. Otis D. Treiber, owner of the Hood River-Underwood Ferry system who recently put into commission the sidewheel freryhoat, the Bear, has left for Port Angeles, where he will have charge of the construction of a big sidewheel ferrv boat. The new boat, which will be 85 feet in length, will nlv between Port Angelea and Lake Crescent, a popular summer resort, Cant. Treiber expects to be away on the contsruction work for a period of about 30 days. In the absence or Lapt. lreiber tne local ferry system will be in charge of Chas.
