The normal apple crop OF the United
States is put down at 5000, 900 barrels,
or about lOO,OOO,OOO bushels. OF these
but small portion are exported, the
greater part being consumed at home.
The total export Of apples from Amer
lean ports to Europe for the season Of
lS9S-99 was 1921 ,0S7 barrels; in the
season OF lS97-9S it was 9l3, 1896 barrels,
and in 1S96-97 it amounted to 2,9l9,S76
barrels-the highest export figures ever
reached. The crop in the Eastern states
this year is abundant, and it is estimat-
ed that exports will amount to about
the same as for the season of l896-97.
Canada and Nova Scotia are active COM
petitors for the European apple trade.
Their apples seem to be better for ship
ping, are firmer, and growers go to much
more care in picking, asserting and
packing. 1t is said they are produced
more cheaply, cost less for freight from
Canadian ports and can undersell our
own in the English and German mar
kets. Red apples have the preference
among European consumers, although
the Newtown Pippins, which seem to be
grown extensively only in the Shenan-
doah valley, command the highest price
OF all. Prices for apples in the Eastern
markets rule low, while on the Pacific
coast, where the crop this year is the
lightest ever known, prices are better
than they have been for years.

Admiral Dewey is having troubles Of
his own. The house presented to him
by grateful people he decided to his
bride. For this he was severely crit
icised by the newspapers and the many
who didn't contribute, and to satisfy the
critics his wife decided the house to
Dewey's son. This last transfer was
more severely denounced than the first,
"What has Dewey's son ever done that
we (who didn't contribute cent? should
give him costly house?" say these ter
rible critics. The admiral got mad and
said all who contributed toward the
house could have their money back.
He's awful sorry he ever accepted the
house.-didn't want it, nohow, and for
q fppennybit he would go on the retired
list and sail for Europe and let our man
ifest destiny get along without him.
While most people will regret the en-
barassing predicament of the admiral,
they will be glad to think that the non
sensical idea of giving grand house to
every American who becomes noted for
doing his duty as o soldier or statesman
is likely to become obsolete. Dewey
mistake was in accepting the gift,

FRIDAY. DECEMBER !, ls99.

Thanksgiving day has come to be a
great American institution. In nearly
every home throughout the Union there
is welcome response to the presidents
proclamation setting apart this day as a
day OF thanksgiving. Whatever the
origin OF the custom OF Thanksgiving
day, il has come 10 stay, and Christians
in all lands will eventually adopt the
American custom Of setting apart one
day In the year for thanksgiving. Hood
River has much to b, thankful for to-
day The community has been blessed
with good health during the past year.
Our young men who responded TO the
presidents call for troops in our war
with Spain were all spared to return to
their homes. Our crops have generally
been good. No destitution prevails
within the confines Of our valley. Good
times are with US. There is no unem-
ployed labor in our midst. Labor is
better paid than ever before. The big
saw mills that have started within the
past year, and the great number Of men
employed on the railroad at our doors,
have stimulated trade to u wonderful
degree and all feel the good effects there
Of. Our valley and its resources have
been made known to the world, and
many newcomers are here to make their
homes with us. And besides all these
blessings, we should be doubly thankful
that we live in Hood River.
