Harris and Co. aiace before the Civil War, ia ex panding at the expease of the private sales system. About half of the box apples sold ia Bostoa were handled at auction during last season. Although many of the carloads sold were mixed, the priees received averaged around 11000. New England apples will be sold by H. Harris and Company during tbe coming Winter. Associations of pro ducers have been sending delegations to Boston to inspect the auction market. H. w. Tinknam, tbe leader of a delegation sent by the Rhode Island Market Gardener ' Association, made the following report which ha just been printed in the Homestead: "We climbed aboard a train in Providence soon after 5 o'clock A. M., and reached 131 State street, Boston, soon after 7 o'clock. This is the office of Harris A Company, auction eers, ine mm kindly took us over to their eaorraous auction rooms in Charlestowa, and gave us every op portunity to thoroughly investigate their business and this in the face of the faet that they knew we were investigating to become possible com petitors. Courtesy can go no further. "We saw 16 carloads of oranges, lemons and grapefruit sold ia 42 min utes ia lots to suit purchasers. That means in lots of from one to 100 boxes. W also saw at least 150 buy ers. iBcse ouyers were or. every na tionality aad financial condition from a poor ragged dago who could not speak English to such a widely known firm as 8. S. Pierce k Company. The opportunity was equal to each. Every Buyer Boosts Price. "The thing that interested me most waa the faet that every buyer was really engaged in boosting the price, where in all my former experiences in private selling the buyer's only aim in life was to reduce the price. The psychology of the auction ia the exact opposite of private bargaining. I don't mean for one minute to say that tbe buyer wanted to pay more than he had to, but he wanted some thing, and someone else wanted that same thing at the same time, and aa pricea were open, up they went. Lt us suppose, for a clearer un derstanding, that an apple grower in Worcester County, Mass., sent a ear- load of apples in for sale. We will suppose 20 barrels of Baldwins, 20 of Greenings, and the balance small lots of different kinds. They would be taken from the car and arranged in .piles according to marks. The Baldwins would be in a pile by them selves, marked with the grower's idea of grade. Three barrels would be opened. One at the head, one at the bottom and one either dumped or a stave taken out. Any prospective buyer has a list of all to be sold that day. Seller Can Withdraw. "Woe to the grower who has made a mistake and put a bushel of seconds in the middle of a barrel of firsts. That lot will go as if every barrel was so parked or will until his brand or name is established. When this lot is reached on the list by the sue tioneer, the first bid can be by the seller, or his agent, or the seller may wirndraw at any time the whole let. Let it be understood that co-operation would do great work here because the auctioneers will not sell anvthiur nn less the seller or his agent is there, and one man (co-operatively) could act as agent for thousands. Suppose tnis lot is Knocked down at S3. The buyer is asked how many barrels hs wants. If he says 10, the other 10 are immediately offered at the same price, and usually sold. If not the other 10 are offered at 5 or 10 cents less until sold. tvery transaction is public. The price of every barrel is kept for five years, with the name of the buyer, seller, and seller 's agent. The selling price, less the auction expenses of 5 per cent, is mailed the seller that afternoon. No waiting? for vour monev. out a complete record of tbe whole transaction, ana a total cost or S per cent. That looked pretty food to us Rhode Islanders." QUAKERS USE BANK METHODS The Philadelphia Fruit Auction Company, organised in 1908, has been run oa banking business principles. J. P. Wilson and Norman C. Ives, who are president and secretary of the auo tioa company, are also president and director of tbe Sixth National Bank of Philadelphia. Uuring the first ftve years of its history, the Philadelphia Auction Company has increased ita buainess en aa average of eight per cent a year, until the grand total annually is ouuu cars and many cargoes of foreign rruus. Due greatly to the successful man agement of Norman C.

In military report 'and account of battle one often cornea acroaa the phraae "consolidating a position" with out knowing Just what it means. Consolidating a position meana to ao prepare It that It will offer tbe maximum resistance to an attack on tbe part of tbe enemy and the maxi mum protection to the troop hold ing It Where trenches have been captured tbe first thing to be done is to make them face tbe opposite way from that In which they have faced. Tbla done by building loopholes and over- bead covers on tbe aide exposed to the enemy, which, of courae, prior to the capture waa the rear of the trench. When trenches have been partially destroyed by abell fire or mine explo sions and then captured they have to be rebuilt racing tne enemy. As no communicating trenches exist leading from tbe captured trench to the one tbe attacker came from, tbey have to be built connecting with this main position In such a way as to prevent tbe enemy from taking It In the flank. AH this work and any other which may be done to strengthen tne cap tors' bold Is meant when a report speaks of consolidating a position. Spokane Spokesman-Review. Winning a Reputation. An amusing story of bow be won tbe title of being the champion cocoanut shier among the clergy la told by tbe bishop of Chelmsford. He Informed a gathering of clergy men, says tbe London Globe, that when Tlcar of Bethnal Green be took a party of worklngmen to Epping forest and waa there challenged to have shy at the cocoannU. He accepted and, paying his sixpence, was given seven balls. Then some thing happened which would not bap pen again were be to live to be as old as Methuselah. With those seven balls be knocked off seven cocoanuts. He baa lived on tbe reputation of that feat ever alnce, and when any one asked him to have a cocoanut shy he aald, "Tou go and knock seven off with seven balls and then I will speak to you."

Shoes for for the Girls Hood River, Oregon Boys and Girls A Vicious Measure Just about the time the wave of gen eral prosperity began to extend to the Pacific coast the People's Land and Loan measure was launched. It piovides on the Single Tax theory for the confiscation of all land rents for public revenues and proposes to loan a large part of the loot without interest. It is gotten up with great ability and many cunning devices to catch tne simple minded and the socialistically inclined and lift them up by the boot straps. There have always been people in tbe world who believed they could lift themselves by their own bootstraps but these social uplift laws propose to do it for them. In tbe meantime, while this revolu tionary experiment ia pending, every body waits to aee what will be done by tbe voter! next November before back ing hia judgment on Oregon. Until the system by which any little handful of theorists can force in the ballot any visionary scheme baa been abolished there will be no normal and rational development in Oregon. I he Sinele Tax has been voted down three or four times but gentlemen with mama for experimenting continue to tie up the future of the state with Henry Georgeism. The People's Land and Loan bill will be voted down, but the "Oregon sys tem is expensive and too much open to abuse. Pacific Coast Manufacturer. Forest Notes The annaul value of the farm wood- lot products of the United States is over 1195,000.000. More neoule are spending their vacs Hons on National forests this summer than have ever done ao before, many persons traveling long distances by automobile in order to camp in these public playgrounds. At a recent meeting of the Concon- nully Stock Association at which there were 20 members present, it was de cided not to allow any bulla on the range after 1916 except .those of beef graue ana naving registered papers.

Liquor Receipts Comparatively Light It is likely that Hood River county has received a smaller proportion of beer and spirituous liquors since Janu ary 1, under the Prohibition laws, than any other county in Uregon. Kecords of tbe county clerk's office show that up to noon last Thursday 1,618 affida vits for receipt of beer shipments bad been filed. Since the first of the year 474 shipments of whiskey and brandy have been received. Receipt of beer and spirituous li quors for the past month by local citi zens have been respectively 35 and 125.
