Oregon Fruit.
Special Correspondence)

Portland Or. Sept. To- 1907.
Weather conditions throughout
the Northwest have been almost
perfect for the harvest of all kinds
of crops.
Oregon apples and pears have
brought record prices this Fail.
At the request of the Oregon
Development League. Hon, Wilbur
K. Newell, president OF the State
Board of Horticulture, has con-
densed in the following one hund-
red words astatement about Oregon
fruit that should be printed in
every language known to the tongue
of man: "Oregon excells in fruit.
Proof: Because her apples are the
acknowledged standard of the
world, bringing highest prices
from the trade of New York, Paris,
London and Berlin. Her pears,
cherries, dried prunes and straw
berries have national reputation,
unequalled by the fruit OF any
other section Of the United States.
Why? because nature has given
her soil containing the necessary
plant food, a climate without ex-
tremes, and moisture and sunshine
just right to produce a fruit oi
beautiful color, firm texture, and
unrivailed flavor. And her peo-
pie have the intelligence to take
advantage af these conditions. "
Of the 400, 900 leaflets printed
by the Portland Commercial Clut
advertising the low rates to
Oregon, 351 900 had been put il

mendous rush of colonists to the

In recent number of a popular
magazine appeared a story of the life
of Frederick Weyerhaeuser, formerly OF
Rock Island, and now of Minneapolis.
Mr.. Weyerhaeuser is declared to be a
richer man than John ID. Rockefeller
and imputations are cast upon the
manner in which he secured control of
the timber lands that constitute his
chief wealth. In the current issue of
the Mississippi Valley Lumberman,
the editor answers the magazine arti-
Gle. 1t is referred to as ''putrid con-
glomeration'' and the following is Civ
en- to controvert the alleged facts set
forth:
HE (the author) has magnifed the
fortune of a very estimable gentleman
many times over, and has used the
same or a greater multiple in narrat-
ing and compiling the results of the
various enterprises in which he is to
a greater or less extent interested
When he has endeavored to tell of
methods, he has manufactured much
out of whole cloth. In other words. he
has wilfully lied, or has been equally

ton, the lies others have told him.
Little is Authentic.
'Tn attempting to tell the life and
work of Frederick Weyerhaeuser, the
writer of the article has gathered a
little detail from authentic sources
and woven it into story of guess
work and imagination that would prove
amusing reading to those who are
closest to and most intimately ac-
quainted with Mr.. Weyehaeuser. were
it not for the fact that it is basely libel
Gus of gentleman who has always
the respect and veneration
of all who have ever been associated

CAS- is the case with so many of
these cowardly assassins of character,
his charges of fraud are by indirec-

statement that possibly Weyerhaeuser
never personally conducted any of |
these illegal operations, but hundreds |
Of thousands of acres taken in by his
for timber purposes were
