WIEN APPLES WERE HIeA.
Enormous Prices Paid for Ordinary Fruit
in Oregon's Early Day.

Enormoas Prices Paid for Ordinary Fruit
in OregOn's Early Days.
Some very interesting information
concerning the early history of fruit
culture in Oregon, and the fabulous
prices obtained for the product of the
fist orchids, is contained in ar address
of DIR. J. r. Caldwell, president of the
Oregon State Horticultural society.
He recites that it was in the summer
of 1S47 that Henderson Dewelling, of
Iowa, brought across the plains several
hundred yearling grated trees-apple'
pear, cherry, plum, prune and peach
and several varieties of grapes and
berries. To successfully transport
them they were placed in soil in two
large boxes made Il ft a wagon bed.
They were carefully attended to and
watered until they were safely planted
on the bank Of the Willamette, near
the present village Of Milwaukee, Clack-
amas county. This was the first Ore
gon fruit orchard, and really the nucleus
of the great fruit interests which are
now such a source of profit to the horti-
culturists of the state. A William Meek
who brought a sack of apple seeds from
the east, formed a partnership with Mr..
Lewelling, and together they started a
nursery in 1S4S. The next season year
ling trees sold at from 80 cents to 81
each, and the nurseryInen had more
customers than they could supply.
After a time Mr.. dwellings orchard
began to bear fruit which, DR.. Card
well says. was delicious and brought
exceedingly high prices, 81 per pound
being paid for the first apples sold.
The first box of apples brought TO Port.
land sold for SIS. or a per apple for
the lot.
C~alifornians, fruit hungry and witt
plethora purses, bid high for Oregon
surplus fruit. and in 1853 a few boXe'
of apples, securely bound with STRAP
iron las was the custom in those day
TO protect the fruit from thieves, wer'
shipped 20 San Francisco and sold al
g per pound.
In 1854 500 bushels Of apples wen
shipped 90 the Golden Gate, the sal
of which Melted the shippers from 81 81
70 q per pound. In 1855 5000 bushel
were sold in the same market at from
$50 70 $50 per busheL. Young tree
were now bearing handsomely and tn
export Of apples ia 1856 was 2O,OO
boxes. This year oDe box Of Esopu
Spitzenberg paid the shipper a ne
profit Of $50. and three boxes Of wine

tional politics today said:
Il saw Mr.. Cleveland last December, when
he was feeling elated over the sweeping demo-
cratic victory in November. He virtually
admitted that he would be the presidential can
didate in 1892, provided the platform suited him.
take it that be meant provided the demo-
cratic party did not go on a tangent on the
silver question. Mr.. Cleveland has not changed
his views as expressed in his letter Of accept
ance in 1884, in which he said that in case of
the free coinage of gold and silver, gold and
silver would part company. lie still adheres
to those views.
AS to the possibility of Gov. Hill being the
presidential candidate / take no stock in it.
Wisconsin and the other northwestern states
are unanimous for Cleveland. l do not think
Senator John NJ. Palmer would accept a nomi-
nation for Vice President 1 know him well,
and believe he honestly expects to round off
his political career with six years of service in

billty, but he does not regard himself as can

plan conteInplates tine removal and lowering of
the Illinois Central Railroad Company tracks
and the establishment of permanent park"
When asked if IL would reopen the question
of utilizing the lake front for worlds fair pur-
poses Air. Burnham said: Not al all The mat
ter has always been a secondary consideration
in the minds of those who have been fighting the
lake front battle. Should we succeed. howe yer,
there will be no reason why permanent world s
fair buildings should not be erected there"
Ii Is limited that permanent art museum
is to be built in the space now occupied by the
old exposition building and probably other
prominent worlds fair structures may be
erected on the lake front.
