Sold 1 100000 Apple Trees.

a correspondent from TOppenish,
Wash, says: The Washington Nurs-
cry company at Toppenish. has just
closed a contract with the Arcadia Ir-
rigation association of Spokane for
the sale of 1000 900 apple trees. This
is believed to be the largest single
sale of apple trees ever consummated
by any nursery. The Arcadia COM
pany is developing and planting an
immense tract Of land near Spokane.
The Northern Pacific is building a
large ice house above town for use
in icing refrigerator cars. The guam
tity OF fruit shipped from Toppenish
makes this action necessary. The
company is also building a large
warehouse adjoining for hay and
grain storage. The railroad company
Is also building an Ice plant at North
Yakima.

DANGERS OF A COMMISSION.

The East oregonian has questioned
the wisdom of a railroad commission
in Oregon, state with but 1900 miles
OF railroads. and as the commission
question takes form in the legislature,
the uncertainty as to the good results
of the commission increases.
Certainly an appointive commission
which would be dominated by Port
land would be of no benefit to east
ern and southern Oregon and the
inland empire in general, as far as
freight rate reductions are concerned.
IN AN APPOINTIVE CoMMIS-
SION, THE SAME FORCES WOULD
DOMINATE, WHICH HAVE DC
TATED THE UNJUST FREIGHT
RATES IN OREGON FOR THE PAST
25 YEARS. SUCH A COMMISSION
WOULD NECESSARILY BE A
CREATURE OF PORTLAND POLL
TICS.
WOULD PORTLAND REGULATE
RATES IN THE INTEREST OF
EASTERN OREGON ANY MORE
WITH \ COMMISSION THAN WITH
OUT ONE? IT WOULD MEAN A
HEAVY EXPENDITURE AND No
BENEFICIAL RESULTS.
Let the legislature appoint tenn
porary rate commission, like the taa
commission, for the purpose Of inves
tigating rate abuses, determinations
and injustices practiced upon the peo'
pie of Oregon, to report at the mex
session.
That commission will be able t
give the legislature an intelligent un
cerstanding of the situation. 1t will
he able to give actual facts as the!
exist and the members will have ;
firm basis to work upon.
In the meantime open the Colum
bia river, encourage the farmers t
patronize independent boat lines an
in every way reduce the railroad rate
by agitation and persuasion, as ia
as possible.
An intelligent rate law in orego
is impossible now, simply because tn
rate question is so complicated an
contradictory that an inexperience
man, not familiar with the mysteriou
ways OF railroads, cannot get at tn
truth Of the subject.
There should be some way Of reduc
ing rates, other than by the expend
turc Of $4,000 per year for raj
road commission.

THE PRICE OF LEAD

At the time Of writing the price
Of lead in the United States as
fixed by the New York market is
$4.75. This is only 46 cents higher
than the London price. As a con-
sequence it is utterly impossible to
import a single pound Of lead for
consumption except the small per-
centage which smelters rake of on
each lot Of foreign ore smelted in
bond and which must be forthwith
exported.
The situation abroad ~ reflected
by London is that lead is becoming
scarce and the price must therefore
continue high as compared with the
past decade or two. Neither Spain
nor Australia, the two great sources
Of foreign lead, nor even Mexico
Or British Columbia is develop

up for the old producers. Ameri-
cans have therefore only their own

SNOW STORM ALL RIGHT

The public seems suddenly to
have lost confidence in the Snow
Storm Judging from the way that
stock has declined Of late. This
il undoubtedly due to the fall in
the price Of copper and the uncer-
tainty as to the market price for
that metal for the next few months.
II seems to the Miner, however,
that the decline in Snow Storm is
already greater than the circum-
stances warrant for these reasons:
While copper was at its old price,
to which it may soon return owing
to curtailment Of production, the
Snow Storm company was dis
bursting dividends Of IL per cent
per annum on the market price Of
the stock and earning much more,
in fact If the price Of copper had
kept up an increase in dividends
was assured. The stock was there.
fore really worth more than $500
share under these conditions.
Then, too, there is a general
impression that the only market for
Snow Storm ore is as converter
Innings and that this market will be
so curtailed as result Of the gen.
eral curtailment OF production as
t. necessitate greatly reduced
production from the mine. This is
far from being the case. While the
demand for converter Innings furn-
ishes the Snow Storm with its best
market it is far from being its only
one. The Miner has for some time
been aware that certain copper smell
tiers i'll various parts of the United
States and more especially one in
California are greatly in need of
silicious copper ores as flux for
their other ores and that the Cali
fornia smelter in particular is
anxious to contract with the Snow
Storm for supply Of 100 tons a
day. This one item will go far
towards making up for any dcfic-
icncy in demand for converter
Innings.
The Snow Storm ore reserves
are 40 vast that while the
price Of copper continues low the
management can without detriment
to the mine suspend development
work temporarily, thus reducing
expenses, and by taking advantage
OF new markets maintain its pres
ent rate Of production and probably
its dividends az well If they see fit. /,

we Know how big that surplus, il
there Is one, may be. Presumably
consumption must have fallen

it that be true then it seems certain
that the lower price now ruling

The Price q Copper
Engineering and Mining Journal)

Engineering and Mining JournaD
Although the hysteria over the
price Of copper is undcniably SER
ious, nevertheless it has an amusing
side. Just two years ago the price
was about Is cents and every one
thought that was good. We have
before us the prospectus Of one Of
the best Of the new enterprises that
figured prominently at that time,
in which one set Of estimates was
based on that figure, with another
vet based on Is cents and showing
that handsome profit would be re-
lied at it-as, indeed, we believe
would be the case. A few months,
later, when the price rose to IS cents,
there was jubilation and skepticisnl
as to the long continuance Of the
good thing, because it was feared
that consumption would be restric-
ted. But even before the price re-
coded to Is cents as it did last
month, there were long faces and
bcwailment over the deplorable con-
dition into which copper production
had fallen. 1t was only about Is
months ago that the great rise above
Is cents began. Conditions have
not changed in the meanwhile, 80
that the producers who could make
a great profitthen can still do 80
now, or even at Is cents.
Doubtless it would have been better
in the long run if the price had not
gone above Is cents. The market
has simply returned to a more nor
NAL and more healthy position.
The consumption Of copper is not
going to cease, even though the at
titude and actions Of the manufact-
urers for several months have lent
some color to the belief. The trouble
has been uncertainty and lack Of
confidence; but when knowledge as
to the real statistical position is
available-absencc Of which is one
Of the greatest unsettling factors
confidence will be restored and bus
mess will be resumed on normal
lines. We believe that this will not
be delayed much longer.
When this contamination is
reached it is to be hoped that the
market will no longer have the sky
rocket features that have character
lied it during the last two years. It
is to be hoped, moreover, that in
vestors in copper shares will make
up their minds to disregard the
mischievous practice Of various pub
lie advisers OF computing earnings
per share and percentage OH going
market price on the basis OF temper
airy high quotations for the metal,
which is \ constant temptation to
the unwary and inexperienced. The
shares Of good copper mining COM
panies are among the safest and
most profitable forms Of investment,
but purchases should be made on
the basis Of the probable price for
the metal over a series Of years. and
due allowance should be made for
the gradual exhaustion Of even the
biggest mines.
