The latest estimate places the total
number of apple trees of bearing age
In the United States at something over
2o00oo.000. This is nearly three trees
to every person. These trees yield more
than 175,000000 bushels. Not all these
apples are consumed at home, for IN
years of full crop more than 100000
bushels go abroad. Yet. the apples kept
at home are more than two bushels for
every adult and child. We are nation

apples are Ben Davis and other kinds

Ten carloads of lumber have been
shipped by the Benton County
Lumber Company out of its Philo-

Five went out on the train Friday
morning and the balance on alter
nate days since. Two cars were

to Corvallis and Albany,
The mill company mas orders for
rough lumber in ten car lots from a
Denver firm, another for 900, 900
feet per month of all kinds from
the same place, and another prop
osition from a California firm for
all the railroad ties that it can turn
out, none of which can be filed on
account OF demand for lumber in
the local and neighboring markets.
The sales of lumber for the past
month are said to have almost
doubled any previous months bus

LIVELY SELLING.
And Buying of Corvallis Residence
Property market Active.

There is no boom in Corvallis.
1t is not boom town. Its inhab-
itants are not of the boomer varie-
ty. But there is in town healthy
condition as to residence and to
other property. The constant de-
mand by strangers and others for
houses to live in, and the presence
of persons ready to buy because
they have faith in the town S future,
makes residence property stable
investment. Sales during the past
few days emphasize this condition.
Though changes of ownership in
such property have been continual
during the past two years, more
trades were made within 48 hours
last week than in any similar period
in long time.
Included in the sales referred to,
is the Hersig place short distance
north of College Hill. Fred Her
sig sold it to Sam H. Moore for
$4,000. The property contains 10
acres of ground highly improved
and a good residence. Mr. Moore
purchased it for a home Possession
is to be given as soon as the Her
sigs can find another house to occu
py. There is some talk that they
may build a home.
Another sale was the purchase
by Mrs. Sam Moore of the .McCaust-
land block in Wilkins addition.
The price paid was S1,7o5. Within
a few hours after the sale was re-
ported the purchaser was offered an
advanced figure for the property.
The property consists of house
and full block of lots. Mr.. and
Mrs. McCaustland expect within
few months to go to Eastern Wash
ing to reside. Their sons are en-
gagged in business there, and the
change of location is to satisfy the
natural demand of kinship.

for ST, $50. Mr.. Curns was a resi-
dent for many years of Phi1omath.

ter an absence of several months in

A sale of the Nicholas property
in the north end of town occurred
about the same time. It went to
Lon Hawley of the southern por-
ton of the county. The price paid
was $I.3 The purchase by Mr..
Hawley was in order that he might
move to town to send his young
folks to college.

BROKE HIS COLLAR BONE.
By Fall From a Plum Tree-other In
juries-Gus Harding.


Gus Harding. residing three
miles north of Corvallis, is confined
at home with broken collar bone,
and other injuries. The other day
he picked plums high up in tree.
A limb broke. and he was precipi-
tated to the ground. The fall was
more than dozen feet, and he
landed on his head and shoulders.
When picked up he was uncon-
scious, and blood flowed freely from
one earl For time it was feared
that there might have been a frac-
ture of the skull, but return to
consciousness and the ability of the
patient the following day to walk
about in the house, dispe1led this
idea.
In the descent, the stump of a
limb that had been cut off struck
him IN the side, rendering the ribs
in the vicinity extremely sore. The
broken collar bone, at last accounts,
seemed to- be the most serious of
Mr.. Harding's numerous injuries.
Mr.. Harding is 50 years of age,
and in a fall so far, the consequent
ces might have been far more seri.
