they had been beaten from the trees like

~, this good reputation has been extended,
and the American apple has found Its
way into almost every country OF Eu-
rope.
Tho care with which this great apple
traffic has been worked up by farmers
and exporters has made the United
States the greatest apple-producing ma
ton in the world. so that about the time
the bitter little berry apples In the ar
horetum are ripening for the study OF
specialists and the curiosity of tourists,
the big fruits of New England the north
,crn Middle States, and the Central West
are being picked, sorted carefully and
: shipped to the Atlantic scaports to graft
fy the appetite of London and Berlin.
And very many OF them pass through
Boston within sight OF the museum park,
in which their ancestral trees are gath
cred together, since Boston for various
reasons has become the leading port of
the United States for apple export, the
Leyland and Dominion lines Of the In
ternational Mercantile Marine Company
carrying out huge cargoes all the autumn
and winter. Other cargoes Of apples go
out by way Of New York, which gen
orally stands second to Boston in this
item. and by Portland, where the Domin-
Ion line of steamships always finds the
ample freight one of the most important
parts Of its cargoes. In all, in the fiscal

COcopahs and First National in New

The new First National Bank building is completed and was first occupied up stairs by the Cocopah Club Sunday and downstairs by the bank Tuesday. The building is by far the finest in the val ley, being solidly built of brick, finished inside in oak and having the walls beautifully decorated. The furniture in the bank is of graceful outline and of conventional form, and the silvered vault door and large fire and burglar proof safe have a substantial air. The completion of the building comes just as the growing deposits have reached $75,000. The Cocopahs have set up their billiard and pool tables, and have reading and writing tables and num- ber of easy chairs, while their piano is ready to be placed in the building. Alto- gether they are very comfortably housed.
