The interest on $500, 900 for one
year at, say three per cent, would
be SIS, 1000. The banks of Portland
and Salem will pay that much in
forest on time deposits. Does any
one think that the state treasurer
would miss the opportunity to make
the interes, upon the state monies
collected and placed in his hands?
The state treasurer's snap beats a
government license to steal. It's
more profitable and not half so dam
gerous.

LINCOLN COUNTY's APPLE CROP.

In the markets and stores of Lin
coin county ale displayed fine,
sound, we'll colored, merchantable
apples in large quantities. These
apples only bring from rs to IS
cents per box, when they can be
sold at all. Nine tenth of these
apples would bring from IS cents to
81 per box in the Portland or San
Francisco market if they were only
sorted, graded and put into new,
clean boxes In Lincoln county
this year, thousands of dollars have
been lost by not having some me-
dium through which the crop might
have been handled and put on tie
market in a proper condition.
Choice apples bring a good price in
the markets, and the apples of Lin
coin county certainly are choice in
every respect. But the greatest
trouble is to get them onto the
market in proper shape. The o.
dinary method in this county has
been to gather the apples up off of
the ground, dirt, leaves and all, and
put them into an old coal oil box,
or any other kind of an old trap
and ship them. Naturally they
get no returns from them. The
commission men are not to blame.
No matter how good the apples
may be they cannot sell them in
that shape. But if the grower
would gather his apples cerefully
from the trees, sort and grade them
and pack them in layers in clean,
new boxes, he would be agreably
surprised at the returns he would
receive.
The fact is the Yaquina Bay ap-
pie is very superior apple. Out
Of the hundreds of boxes brought
to this market this year we have
tailed 10 see single wormy or dis
eased apple. In fact, during our
five years. residence in Lincoln
county we have our first home
grown wormy apple to see.
We hope to see our apple grow.
ers take more interest and care in
these matters in the future. The
fruit crop of Lincoln county should
be the source of large income to
our people. and it will be when it is
is carefully and properly handled.
