Of State Society Annual Meet
The Columbia County Historical So­
ciety met Wednesday, October 21, in
the 4-H dining room at the county
fairgrounds. The meeting was called
to order by President Wm. C. Wood
of Clatskanie following the bountiful
noon meal.
A report was read from Mrs. Lloyd

meeting of October 16 which they at­
tended to represent the county so­

hotel.
Mrs. Madge Hiatt Bunce told of
the origin of the Delicious apple. The
story is that the apple was discover­
ed in 1872 in the Jesse Hiatt orchard
in Madison county, Iowa.
Jesse Hiatt, great-uncle of the Hi­
atts here, and Mrs. Bunce, came to
Iowa from Indiana in 1855. He start­
ed an orchard in due time, and in
1864 he bought and planted several
Bellflower apple trees. One died
down to the root, but put up a vigor­
ous sprout which he cut off several
times, but it persisted until he final­
ly let it grow.
Eight years later in 1872, the
sprout had become a stalwart tree,
bore its first fruit, apples of unus­
ual size, but of fine flavor. He chris­
tened the apple, Hawkeye, after the
state of Iowa.
In 1894 a nurseryman saw the fruit,
contracted for the sole right of prop­
agation, renamed it Delicious, and
secured the initial stock of cuttings
from the mother tree. The introduc­
tion and popularizing of the fruit is
said to have cost more than $700,000,
but they are now sold everywhere.
Mrs. Fred Covlin told of attending
school at Neer City, and was glad
that the society now has the bell
from the school. She attended when
the bell was new.
Orders for the historical booklets
continue to come, with a letter of
appreciation being received from the
Library of Congress for their copies.
Orders have come from Washing­
ton State Library, University of
Washington and Wisconsin State li­
braries. Material is being received
for another issue.

Chief Suggests
Use of Make-up
Police Chief A. D. Lolley urges
parents to use make-up instead of
masks in getting their children ready
for Halloween.
Masks with holes for eyes block
a child’s peripheral vision — or his
ability to see on either side — blind­
ing him to approach'ng traffic and
if the mask slips the child is com­
pletely blinded,” Lolley stated.
He suggested that parents use a
little eyebrow pencil, lipstick, pow­
der and ingenuity to create Hallo­
ween disguises.
’And,” he added, “before sending
youngsters out on their trick-or-treat
missions remind them to be alert in
traffic and to cross streets only at
intersections.”
