THE GREAT REGATTA
The Annual Meeting of the Mis-
sissippi Amateur Association.
1T SHOULD BE HELD HERE
The Great Salt Lake is the Fastest Water in the
World, Say 0arsmen OF Well
Known Standing.

The place for holding the annual meet
ing of the Mississippi Valley Amateur
association will be settled at Chicago on
Monday, and the Importance of securing it
for this city cannot be overestinlated.
The Great Salt lake is the great attrac-
ton which Utah holds to tourists and sum-
mer resort people, and in no way can the
popularity Of these waters be brought be-
fore the people so directly as by holding
regatta.
This city in contesting for the meeting
starts with the advantage of offering the
fastest waters in the world. From the
correspondence already passed, this city
is preferred to any other place, Dut TO
secure such an attraction the cltlzens must
offer sufficient inducements to secure sucn
prize.
All that is demanded is $500 in money,
hotel rates, press and referee boats ana
telegraph communication over the courses.
The loca. committee, it is under
stood, will tender the associa-
ton q big ball and banquet at
| Garfield Beach on some evening curing the
meeting which will last three or four days.
No money will be needed for prizes as the
amateurs are men of honor who appreciate
medals as more proper distinction Tor
their aquatic prowess.
The regatta of 1889 demonstrated that
the Great Salt Lake is the fastest waterln
| the world, when Modoc made the fastest
time ever recorded, so fast that the worlo
wouldn't believe it. demanding that the
course should be resurveyed and that the
judges should make affidavits as to the
time.
The coming meeting if secured for this
city would bring here forty crews ano
fnnr-0AreC
shells in one race and would bring III one
hundred of the leading amateur oarsmen OF
the country. 1t will be the biggest thing
ever seen on the lake and would do won
ders in stimulating greater interest IN row
ing among our local oarsmen, who have al
ready won honors abroad.
Salt Lake city can in no way advertise it:
wonderful waters to the outside world a!
cheuply as by securing the meeting OF thu
Mississippi association. Outside OF thu
mercenary ends the gala sports OF them
selves are well worth the pittance that the!
will cost. BY all means and at any cos
the meeting should be secured for this city
The citizens will cheerfully raise tn
money if the committee get to work.

WHEN APPLES WERE HIGH.
Enormous Prices Paid for Ordinary Fruit
in OregOn's Early Days.

Enormous 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
first orchids. is contained in an address
of DR.. J. r Cardwell, president of the
Oregon State Horticultural society.
He recites that il was in the summer
Of 1S47 that Henderson Lewelling. 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 20 fit a wagon bed.
They were carefully attended 60 and
watered until they were safely planted
on the bank Of the Willamette, rear
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 10 the horti-
culturists of the state. A William Meek,
who brought a ZACH Of apple seeds from
the east, formed a partnership with Mr..
Lewelling, and together they started a
nursery iQ 1S4S. The next season year
ling trey sold at from so cents TO 81
each, and the nurserymen had NOR
customers than they could supply.
After a time Mr.. dwellings orchard
began 70 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 81 per apple for
the lot.
Californians. fruit hungry and with
plethoric purses, bid high for Oregon
surplus fruit, and in 1853 a few boxes
Of apples, securely bound with strap
iron las was the custom in those days
to protect the fruit from thieves), were
shipped 70 San Francisco and sold at
81 per pound.
In 1854 500 bushels of apples were
shipped TO the Golden Gate, the sale
of which netted the shippers from 81. 80
to g per pound. In 1855 5000 bushels
were sold in the same market at from
go to $50 per bushel. Young trees
were now bearing handsomely and the
export Of apples in 1856 was 10000
boxes. This year one box of Esopus
Spitzenberg paid the shipper a net
profit of $50, and three boxes of wine
saps were sold in Portland for S1O2.
From this time on TO 1869 the fall and
winter shipments bi-monthly TO Sar
Francisco per steamer were from 3'OO0
to 5000 boxes. This season began th'
end of high prices, the drop being con
slant, with but occasional variation
until the present time.-Portland Ore
