Idobo ys Hood River.

The following extracts from personal
correspondence between Professor Klg-
gins OF Portland, who owns 4O-acre
apple orchard near Boise, Idaho, and
A. /. Mason OF the East SIDE, who were
old friends and schoolmates at college,
are self explanatory:
Portland, Or, Sept. 30. 1902.
Mr.. A. |. Mason, Dear Friend; You'd
better 90 up to Boise and see my s or lO
cars of Jonathans. You'd then grub mp
your Hood River stock and grow an
orchard in an apple country. have
sold my Jonathans at $l.l5, top and bot
tom faced and middle filled. The pur-
chasers to receive them there at Boise.
| could have gotten 81 25 +. o. b. at Boise
but to be accepted in Chicago. | shall
have IL cars Of Gano, a Seeding OF the
Ben Davis. You can't show up 10000
boxes OF Jonathans in your whole dis
trict and yet three of us round up that
number. What prices are the Hood
River growers getting or asking? Have
many been sold? How many will you
have this year? Where do you find the
best market or where does it promise to
be? Where do you get the best apple
boxes? Write me. Yours ETC.,
G. M. HIGGINS
Hood River, Or, Oct. 4, 1902.
Prof. G. M. Higgins, Dear Sir and
Friend; Yours Of the 30th ult. received
yesterday In reply / send in this letter
a complimentary season ticket to our
Fifth Biennial Fruit Fair. Come up
and see some lst class fruit, for it is sell
dom an Idaho fruit grower gets an OPP
portunity.
The only trees | should grub out are
some LAWYERS, which planted at your
suggestion. | should delight to inspect
your entire crop. You have done well
in selling your Jonataans, but fear
your Ganos will have to be sold as Ida
ho Pippins" alta much less figure. am
glad to learn Of your having sucha large
crop. No we can't show up 10000 box
es Of Jonathans but ii you'll visit onr
fruit fair we will show mp train loads OF
Spitzenbergs, Albemarle Pippins and
MANY other varieties in such quantity
and Of such quality that an Idaho fruit
grower would bow his head in solitude
and exclaim, "'Where ignorance is bliss
It's follv to be wise Wish I'd staid at
home. AS yet but few of our growers
have sold. We never worry over a
market as our reputation brings buyers
from Alaska to New York and from
Japan to London. My crop Of apples is
very light owing to my having top-graft-
ed half of my trees to Spitzenbergs and
Newtowns. You ask what prices our
growers arc getting. They range from
81 90 to $500 per box for lst grade, l
know of one grower who has sold his
entire crop Of Wolf Rivers at 81 rer box
and this is an inferior apple compared
with the Spitzenberg and Newtown.
Yon ask where we get our boxes. AT
Hood River of course. They are in line
with everything produced here; the best
quality. Well friend Higgins, to lay
aside all joking, | am truly glad to learn
Of your success and hope to hear from
YOU again, Say, can't you come up Fri
day night? I'll meet you at the depot
and treat you royal, Your friend,
A. T. MASON.

A new and important use for refined
parafiine wax seems to have been dis
covered by a prominent resident Of
Ohio, living near Lancaster, who had
two trees badly damaged bv storm, one
being maple and the other apple.
In each case a large limb was broken
down from the trunk, but still attached
to it. The limbs were proppel up and
fastened up with straps, very much as a
broken leg might be fastened with splints.
and then melted refined wax pouredinto
and over all the cracks. The surgical
operation was entirely successful. The
paratfine prevented the escape of the sap,
kept out the rain and moisture which
would have rotted the trees, prevented
the depreciation of insects, aud the limbs
seem TINS far to be perefeetlv re-at-
tached to the trees.
1t is reported that the tea plants which
were planted in the Rogue River valley.
in the southern portion of Oregon, last
spring, have done well and are thriving
excellently. The seed was furnished by
the Southern Pacific company. It is be-
lieved by those who have an interest in
the experiment that the growing of tea,
so far as the growing is concerned
could be made a success in Southern
Oregon. The only doubtful question
is whether the business could be made
paying one. However the question Of
whether tea plants will grow in Rogue
River valley has been settled favorbly bv
the results Of the present experiment,
says an exchange.

One Of the questions to come up with
relation to Cuba when the inevitable
negotiations for annexation begin will
be the disposition OF the Chinese on the
island. There are over $1,000 Chinese
in Cuba and more are going in. The
Chinese government has sent a diplomat
TO Havana to negotiate treaty with
the new republic whereby Chinese may
be admitted freely. In this matter the
United States has a friendly interest,
as it is only a step from Cuba into the
United States, and it would not be in
the interest OF this country to have
loop hole for the Chinese to the south
ward One of the matters discussed in
relation to reciprocity with Cuba last
winter WAS the necessity of Cuba adopt
ing our contract labor and Chinese ex-
clusion laws. A special concession to
Cuba on agricultural products, and the
free entry OF cheap labor coolies into
that country, would bring the farmers
Of this country up against the Chinese
question i'll new form Olympia Re-

ORDERS
They Are in Evidence at the Open
ing-Some Stocks Under
Pressure.
Realizing Sales Follow an Advance
Sterling Exchange Is
Easier. d

New York, Oct 30--Supporting orders were in
evidence In some stocks at the opening, part1cu-
iarly St. Paul and some Of the Pacifcs and coal
erS. Other stocks, however, were under pressure,
including Louisville Atchison, Illinois Central
and United States Steel. Fluctutuations either
way were limited to small fractions and trading
duly.
Room shorts showed some concern over the in
dications of inside backing to the market and
promptly covered In the stocks which showed the
most pronounced weakness yesterday. st. Paul,
Missouri Pacific, Texas & Pacific, Baltimore &
Ohio titan, Brooklyn Rapid Transit Cotton
OIL and Rock Island averaged point above yes
terday's final prices, while New York Central
| Illinois Central and Louisville sold much
| above the opening figures. In some OF these
stocks the dealings were quite active but opera
lions were not on rs large a scale as on yester-
day. United States Realty and Construction
stocks were dealt in for the first time at 81 Nc
to 81 kc for the common and 74c to I512c for
the preferred.
Small realizing sales followed the advance but
! the market readily absorbed these offerings and
| recovered to the highest Delaware & Hudson

Texas preferred 1@1a. Norfolk Il Western

| before noon. but held. Less apprehension exist
ed about the probability of early gold exports,

| Their ease. Bonds were steady at noon.
ST. Paul declined nearly point to 1877, causing
a fractional reaction elsewhere: Business, how
| ever, continued very small and comparatively
few stocks were dealt in. The st. Paul directors
| meet to-day to act upon the recently authorized
issue OF new stock and there is considerable
speculation in the street as to the form of dlstri
button of it.
Very little interest was manifested in the
stock market in the early afternoon and dealings
were entirely nominal. Bear traders were re-
| luctant to sell the market after it's early exhi
bition Of strength, and the bulls were not dis

various uncertain factors governing speculation
