Heed River Apples.

With permission Of the editor |
woult like to answer a statement
made by Mr. Lownsdale, OF Lafs-
yette, Or, in the Oregonian OF Sun
day, November 4. and at the same
time ask him few questions.
Mr.. Lownsdale says that In two or
cbsrds In the Willamette valley there
are more S itze nbergs grown than in
the entire Hood River valley. l chal-
ierge our friend to prove his state
ment.
He says thai 1t is not generally
known, but is nevertheless a fact,
that one man in the (entire) william
cite has for q number Of years reoeiv-
ed just the same price for bis apples
as have the growers Of Hood River.
That is an elegant showing, isn't it?
One man out Of possibly one thous-
and, while in Hood River believe
eau honestly say that our percentage
will run 80 men out Of every 100.
Mr.. Lownsdale also says that just
as good apples can he grown in the
Willamette valley as can be grown in
Hood River and that In an expert
ment made with Willamette valley ap-
Piles, which we're put in cold storage
in Hood River, il was found that
they would keep just as well as those
grown in Hood River. Ii this il y
fact why haven't the farmers Of the
Webfoet country taken advantage of
that experiment and by now had their
i'm ense valley in bearing apple or
chards, which they could at any mo-
ment sell at their own price.
Can the Willamette valley farmer
sell his farming land at from s400 to
81 900 per acre? MOI The Willamette
valley has for a number of years been
at standstill, and the little valley of
Hood River is pushing more aud more
to the front every day.
The people Of today are Of too in
telligent class to allow such bonan-
"a as we have at Hood River to slip
through their fingers. Here | would
like to ask Mr.. Lownsdale why a man
that is looking for the almighty dol
lar, as is the American Of today, will
raise wheat at an average of Is BUSH
els to the acre. which will bring him
an average of 75 cents per bushel, and
will bring gross income OF $18. IS
per acre, when he can be raising ap-
pies on the same that will net to him
at the very lowest consideration 800
per acre?
:. Is it nature of the American?
Our friend, Mr.. Lownsdale, evident.
ly does not understand why Hood
River apples are such keepers. It is
not altoghether the apples, but the
principal reason for it Is the climate
we have, and for that reason | am not
at all surprised that when Willamette
valley apples we're shipped to Hood
River and put in cold sorage here,
they kept almost the same as do those
grown in the Hood River valley.
l am proud of the chance to say
that there has not yet been a terrific
~ found where there can be apples
raised and kept like they can in Hood
River valley. e. G. Brock.

World For Aid.

Washington. Dec. 19.--Oficial ad-
vices received here from Prefect
Huaianfu, regarding the famine in
north Kiangsu, China, confirm the
stories of suffering and want among
the people of that section. Crops are
reported as being almost a total fail
ure in Tao Yuen, and it is stated that
by New Years the meager supply OF
provisions will be exhausted.
Conditions in Antog and Funing
townships are still worse, the crops
being practically a total failure The
country everywhere is under water
and for a distance of fifty miles the
people are compelled to wade through
water from knee to neck deep.
The Prefect states that i'm the
stretch of country Immediately west
of Using Ho, what formerly was fer
tile plain, is now a vast lake Here
and there the prefect says, "are
groups of cottages which rise above
the sheet of water and can only be
reached by boats. The people are in
state of destitutiOn, not only their
crops but also what constituted their
fuel being destroyed by the floods"
An urgent appeal is made to the
people of all foreign lands for aid for
the stricken people, who, according 70
state department adyices, number
100000.

Trying to Save a Building in

Ladders
AND THE FIRE ESCAPES
WERE ALSO ICE COATED
Damage Was Confined to the Sum
of Sl50.0O0. Despite All Ad-
verse Circumstances.

Boston, Dec. 19.-Fire today caused
heavy damage In the block bounded
by fremont, Broomfeld,. Washington
and Winter streets, and although the
flames were practically confined to
one structure-the Studio building, in
fremont street-they for a time
threatened to cause much greater de.
struction.
The fire broke out on the lower floor
of the Eldridge & Peabody furniture
establishment, and quickly swept up
through the six floors OF the Studio
building. The roof fell in and the fire
jumped across the narrow alley to the
roof of the Orpheum theater and to
the top of the building occupied by
the Talbot company, clothiers.
The flames did inconsiderable dam.
age to both buildings. but the Talbot
buildings was flooded by a bursting
hose. The firemen had to fight in a
narrow alley on ice-coated ladders
and fire escapes, and with even their
own bodies encased in ice. The loss
is estimated at S15O,0OO.

WAR DECLARED YESTERDAY AND CONGRESS AND PRESIDENT
Will Be Petitoned to Furnish Relief Even BY Tariff Provis
ions If Necessary For Immediate and
Demanded Relief

Chicago, Dec. 19.-The Tribune
says: A bitter war, which ultimately
may have far-reaching effects on the
manufacturing interests of the coun-
try, was precipitated yesterday when
n number of farming machinery COM
panies openly declared their intention
to fight the trust" prices and meth
ods of the iron and steel combine of
the United States. Their first move
was to draft a petition appealing TO
the president and congress to aid
them in their efforts to obtain just
treatment at the hands of the steel
monopoly. The petition calls on the
authorities at Washington to curb the
power of the trust and to make some
new tariff provision which will break
up the injurious" combine. This
petition has been signed by prominent
implement manufacturers throughout
the country.

of farming machinery concerns, which
was held few days ago in this city.
1t was decided that something must
be done to curb the powers of ,-le

smaller implement makers from ruin
1t was the opinion of several of the
men that the farming interests of the
country were imperiled bv the monop
olistic nature of the iron and steel
business. According to the petition
to be sent to Washington in a few
days. the prices of iron and steel are
so high at present that the manufac

church yesterday the marriage took
place of Miss Edith White, the beau
tiful daughter of DR.. /. c. White of
West Virginia. the famous state
geolOgist, and Herr Karl Kithil, a
prominent German scientist and
manufacturer. The wooing and win

the love story. Thence the romance
unwinds itself, the scenes being trans
ferred from the high seas to Germany,

and Mr.. Kithil, one thoroughly Ameri-
can, the other a thorough German,
met in Brazil, where Spanish customs
predominate. The outcome Is today's
