Warning the merchant that he would be shot if he showed himself Ivfore M minutes elapsed, the burglar attempted vainly to open the safe. The merchant, who says he followed the instructions given him strictly, was delayed in informing officers. Two strange men were seen motoring to the en-! von after the attempted roblery is reorted to have occurred, but with out any description from Yasui officer were unable to trace the robber. The merchant declared that he had no re membrance of what his assailant looked id where they smothered to t MKild seem that a beacon I kept on the summit of interfering with the w ireat service men.

" Odell, centrally located on the line of the Mount Hood R. R. Co., has be come one of the moat important valley shipping points. Commenting on the shipments from this section, John C. Duckwall, of Duckwall Bros., growers and shippers, says : "I have not the figures available as to comparative shipments out of Odell for the last two years, but 1 think they were, roughly, 450 cars last year and 650 the year before. In 1919 the Odell tonnage was cut down owing to the lack of cars and the shortage of stor age facilities. With storage greatly improved in the oast two years, we expect 800 cars to go out of Odell this year. "The market situation will develop in the next 30 days or so, and we be lieve the attitude of the growers will largely shape the market and the price for the year. While there is a short crop in the east the ouying power 01 the public has declined so largely that we do not look for any extreme prices this season. If growers take the same attitude the market will shape itself to the advantage of all concerned. l'he freight rates are still high, and we believe tnev win nave to come back to 50 cents per box before grow ers of the Northwest will be in posi tion to take care of their orchards and market their fruit with an even chance of profit. We already have a number of orders for domestic market and ex pect to ship a heavy block of New towns for export." R. D. Chatfield, manager of the Mo sier Fruit Growers Association, says that present indications point to the best crop, as far as size and quality are concerned, that the district has ever had. "There is some doubt," says Mr. I hat held, about our having as many aa in 1919 when we shipped 125,000 boxes, but we feel sure that we will have 100,000 boxes, which will be double the 1920 tonnage. "Growers have taken extra care of their orchards this year, and fruit is clean and making size rapidly. Prob ably 90 per cent of our output will be Spitzenburgs and Newtowns, about equally divided, with the balance Deli cious, Ortleys, Arkansas lilacks and Winter Bananas. All fruit here will be handled by us through our commun ity packing house. As the season is some earlier than usual, packing will probably start the latter part of Sep tember." "1 believe the Northwest will have only a good average apple crop," says Dr. C. A. Macrum, former state horti cultural commissioner for the Fourth .District and now president of the Mo- sier cooperative shipping organization. I cannot see anything bumper about it from the present outlook. Already most districts are shaving estimates. and it looks as if there will be more shaving before the apples are in the box. "Many trees 111 all districts show the tffeetl of the 1919-1920 cold weather, l'he limbs of the south and west sides it some trees are showing injury. ThiH will result in at least smaller fruit on these, and in many cases ulti mate death of the limbs. Most of these trees will be found to be badly injured in the crotch, where the limbs join the trunk. lhe hpitzenburg is showing more damage than other van eties. 'The recent reduction in rail freight rates, of six cents per box on apples, is a joke. The railroads, with the help of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion have eaten our apples and handed us back the core. We need expect no further Reduction on the present high rail freight rates unless we compel reasonable rates by utilizing water competition. II ireight rates are re- luceil to a reasonable basis will the growers prom oy the difference, ter haps. I have not seen any six cents per box attached to any of the few tfers made so far this year. "However, it is too early to form any ideas as to the market. I he six cents may be in evidence later, provid ing the several fruitjgrowers' organiz ations till their orders with the grade and pack their invoices call for, com bine to procure orderly marketing. avoidance of congesting marketing and ate rolling unsold cars especially the latter. C. W.

Colored varieties are coloring beautifully. While it is true that the various sections still show the effects of the severe freeze of two years ago, trees that survived the cold are recovering nicely and will help to add to the total of boxes. "In my opinion the Hood River val ley will market about 2, (MM), 000 boxes, or approximately 2. .WO cars. Delicious and Jonathans will be light in all sec tions, and this is especially true of Gravensteins, of which there is less than half the usual tonnage." Earl S. Coe, horticultural inspector of White Salmon, gives the following estimates of the fruit districts of Klickitat and Skamania counties: Gol dendale, 50 cars; l.yle, 100 cars ; White Salmon, 1500 cars, and Underwood, 275 cars. "The crop as a whole," Mr. Coe says, "is very clean, although more scab has shown up than in several years. Growers, however, have been able to thin off the affected fruit. The orchards are all in a very healthy con dition, and present indications point to large size average for the section. "Labor conditions have been very good. Help is plentiful, and men are willing to work for lower wages. "General conditions are very good, and with a large crop prospect, grow ers are optimistic. Foundations have been 'laid for new rail track and field storage plants. A new fruit and ware house company has been formed in White Salmon. This will increase the much needed car loading facilities. The new concern will begin building at once." CHINA MISSIONARY VISITS IN CITY Rev.
