Have a National ReDuta,ion.

Hood River apples are famous all
over the world, because of their
beauty, their keeping qualities and
their excellent flavor. Today they
have markets in Continental Europe
as well as in this country, and their
merits are establishing their claims
more firmly with every season. We
see by recent dispatch that an apple
line of steamships has just been es
tahlished between New York and i'm
port points In England. Vessels will
leave New York fortnightly, each one
with capacity Of 10000 barrels. Last
year the exports from New York
amounted to about 2,4l1, ,473 barrels.
We regard the Orient as an apple con-
suming market which will some day
be Of fully as great Importance as Eu-
rope is today, and when the day ar
rives we expect to see an apple line of
steamships from Portland to points
In the fur East, bearing output of the
Oregon orchards. Tradesman.

Probably there has never been a
man at the head of the passenger de.
partment of the Hartman lines in
this state who was such a firm believer
in the merits of advertising as vii.

be his policy to extend the adveltis.

Of the service up to its highest pos.

That the work may not be hamr er ed
by the lack of an adequate appropria-

George McCrae, NJ. r.. amused MEN,

the other night at their annual dinner
with a few political stories. He told
how on one occasion John Redmond
was wasting the time of the house Of
commons by wandering greatly from
his subject till at last the speaker had
to call him to order. "All right" said
the Irish orator. Il shall not repate
what | was going to say" Another
story concerned Mr. McCrae himself.

army officer in a secondhand bOOkshop
at Mont lie Marsan cOntainca long lost
treasure. The officer, turning over the
book in his quarters, was astonlshed to
find I'm it coupons and scrip to the
value Of more than $1,000. These bore
the name of the holder at st. Pierre du
Mont and the address of a notary OF
the same place. On communicating
with the notary the officer learned that
the holder of the scrip, small peas

and that the property represented by
the lost papers had not been distribut-

officer handed over the scrip.

The promotion of British trade in the United States is being fostered, says London Commercial Intelligence by plans for a permanent exhibition in Chicago of British and colonial products. It is proposed to open it at the British consulate, and affili- ated exhibits may be eventually be established in other American cities. The cost of each exhibitor is esti- mated at about $1o0 per year. The British consul at Chicago says that British exports to America are fall ing off, due practically to American manufacturers producing more and more of certain articles formerly imported from Britain, but specially because of cheap competition from other countries, Germany in par ticular, which is giving the public showy things. inferior goods at low prices" It is proposed with this exhibition to try to get up an i'm terest in British goods.

The manufacturing industries of the nation were unusually prosper ous last year, and predictions are general that they will be still more prosperous this year. Reports from Chicago and other western cities are to the effect that up to the present time business is to Is per cent ahead of last years large aggregate and similar reports come from the East. The weather enabled the spring business to begin two weeks earlier than usual. The farmers did so we'll last year that they buy more literally, and consumption has in creased, according to the reports from all sections. Foreign trade also shows relative increase. Imports at New York since January 1 have been greater than for the correspond ing time in any other year excepting 1905, when they were slightly above the figures of this year. Exports also make good showing.

A variety of causes sHe-axskeninj

A variety of causes areTawakeninE an interest in forest planting on lands owned primarily for some oth- CT purpose than the use of timber but capable of yielding an added rev enue from crops of trees. Coal and railroad companies and other large landowners, including water compa- nies, are taking active steps to uti- lize waste lands in this way. The fact that local supplies of railroad ties, mine timbers and lumber are shrinking. coupled with the realiza- tion that the needed timber can we'll be produced on soil now unproduc- tive. has made forcible appeal to the business mind. In Pennsylvania. es- pecially, large forest plantations are actually under way. By the plan of government cooperation a technical forester can be sent without charge to make preliminary examination of lands on which planting is con templated. This determines whether planting is advisable. If the prelim- mary report is favorable, a detailed plan for planting and nursery work can he made at a cost to the owner of the actual expenses of the work. Supervision can also be provided un- der special arrangement.

 In recent years the Irish women have been turning their attention largely to fancy work in the way of lace handkerchiefs, crocheting, knit ting and other home work, selling their products to the many societies which in recent years have been or ganized to dispose of these native Irish products in England and the United States. Nearly every large passenger steamer that touches at Queenstown allows these talkative witty Irish women to come aboard with great baskets of, their home made wares to sell. Sometimes they sell as much as $500 worth in a sim gle hour while the ship. rides at an- chor.

 NEW YORK, May 21.-The biggest ship in the world-the Kaiserin Au- guste- Yictoria-arrived during tlIe night on her maiden trip from Ham burg. Dover and Cherbourg. She brought 2,994 souls, including 25O saloon, PAP second class, 14s third class and 1.706 steerage passengers and crew of 64S. All of them agreed that the ship, with her towering decks great proportions. palatial apartments and hitherto unheard of features, is a wonder of maya, construction.
 The trip was made interesting by the chase of Pittsburg pigeon by gamblers bent on plucking him and a riot among the scratch crew signed OH account of the Hamburg strike in lieu of regular sailors.
 The professional gamblers even got after women in their eagerness for victims. Mrs. D. Bonser. a rich Eng lishwoman. who made the trip for pleasure and is booked 10 return on the same ship. was afraid to come ashore. She said a gambler named Conan. who is known as Doc Owen. and friend going under the name of Oppenheim. knowing she had money. had tried to interest her in race track scheme
 She was afraid the gamblers would kidnap her if she went ashore alone. i .'The ship was nothing but a gam bling he'll" said Mrs. Bonser. There l was card playing and gambling all tho way. It was common report that the sharpers fieeced the son of an Ameri- can millionaire out of S25.0O0. The young man appeared but once in the cabin during the trip"
 A young Pittsburg millionaire whose | family is known on both sides of the Atlantic was followed on board by t three ocean card sharps. Friends 1 ashore. it is said. heard of s plot to i swindle him and sent from cuxhaven A | wireless warning to the Pittsburger. T hli Nt. kathttTtr bfTo tp duce the young man to play, but he resolutely refused.
 Looking st the crew. one gentleman said it was a wonder the ship ever got | here at all. as the crew was museum ' of curio<ities. many of the sailors be ing here boys.
 As a result Of the reported riot smong the crew st Dover some men were nut ashore.
