Speaking Of minor Incidents that deter

couraged. the chances are that Tilden would
have succeeded Grant in the White House.
But because he was hopeful and a promi-

awarded to Hayes. II happened this way;

The States Loss By
Fisheries Decision

G. G. Dalton, the missioner ap-
pointed by the supreme court for our
state to investigate the Columbia
river dispute, says the decision is q
great loss in territory and Jurisdiction
to the state of Washington. 1t gives
to Oregon nearly exclusive control Of
the salmon fisheries and islands OF the
Columbia river. and another very i'm
portant matter, the control OF the pl-
lotape of vessels on the river, because
the court brings the boundary line
close to the Washington shore. All
of the seining grounds and the great
or part Of the gill net fishing grounds
on the river are now included within
the state of Oregon. Pound net, or
trap fishing is not affected by the de-
cision. except probably a few fsh
trans on the south side Of Sand island
and few fish traps on some OF the
smaller islands. The decision settles
the title in the state of Oregon to all
the islands and submerged tide landa
that have been claimed by both states
ever since Washinat0n Was admitted
into the Uuion. The loss from fish-
ino licNnses will not amount to moro
than $500 annually, Q part Of which
was paid to Oregon. The decision

The Best Apples For
The Northwest

In an article written for the special
apple section of last Sundays POST
Intelligencer. Mr.. VIM. Taylor. POM
ologist IN charge of 6eld investlga-
tions. U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture. makes the following recommen-
dations as to the varieties of apples
best suited to northwestern condi-
tions of soil. climate and markets:
"The planter of apples in the more
favored portions of the Pacific north
west should not be satisfied with any
variety ranking lower than every
good" in dessert quality. Such
snowy but unpalatable sorts as "Alex-
ander," "Wolf River. "Bietigheim-
er." "Ben Davis' and similar varie-
ties ought not to be tolerated in dis.
tricts where "Yellow Newton. "Eso-
pus Spitzenburg. "''Jonathsn. "Yel-
low Bellfower. "Winesap. ENC
Intosh" and "Rome Beauty" are
known to succeed.
Regardless of it's beauty, produo-
tiveness and durability. an apple Of
poor dessert quality is destined even
tually to find low level in the mar
ket. Present indications are that az
production increases and closer dis
elimination is exercised by consumers
the difference between good and poor
apples In the market will be greater
than it has been in the past.
The exact determination of varieties
the relative values for particular
localities and uses is task requiring
years of careful observation and test
and cannot be accurately forecasted.
The safest guide to the planter is the
behavior of the vaieties that are al
ready under test in his locality. But
for the region in general the follow
ing doubtless comprise the best COM
mercial sorts that have thoroughly
demonstrated their values:
"Baldwin,
''Esopus Spitzenberg".
''Grimes Golden"
''Gravenstein"
Jonathan.
"McIntosh,
''Red Canada"
''Rome Beauty
''Tompkins King,''
"Wagener,"
"Winesap.
'Yellow Newton''
Of the newer sorts some of the most
promising are delicious. Stay
man Winesap'' and "Winter Banana. -
These are we'll worthy of planting
in an experimental way. but until
more thoroughly tested should not be
heavily planted in commercial Or
chards.
For the higher elevations. where
cold endurance by tree and fruit buds
is an essential. such varieties as "Yel-
low Transparent. "Oldenberg" COT
ten grown as "Duchess"D. "Weal-
thy. '"Patten Greening" and "North-
western Greening" may we'll be plant
ed.'

Seeds For Apple Trees


The apple for propagation is usually
raised from seeds obtained from cider
mills. These are sown in autumn
in broad drills and they remain in the
seed beds from one to three years ac-
cording to the soil. When the seed
lings are little more than q quarter
OF an inch in diameter, they are taken
up in the spring and planted in nur-
sery lows. The trees are budded the
following autumn.
Apple trees when transplanted to or
chards should have been budded for
two years. They should be six or
seven feet high and have . proper bal
ance Of head or side branches.

The statement conta ined in the
above article that Hon. John S. Nc
Millin was recent caller at Paso
Robles and that when he was refused
permission to see Mr.. Cosgrove, as
all visitors are. he "went away gnash-
ing his teeth" is in all probability
a gross exaRgeratIon, to which the
leading papers of the northwest read
ily give currency because they are
not friendly to Mr.. McMillin. Mr..
Cosgrove and Mr.. McMillln have
been personal friends for many years.
If, while the latter was in California
on business trip. he went to call
upon his old friend. he was doubtless
qrievously disappointed to find his
condition such that he was unable to
see him. even to express his sympathy
and good wishes, but it Is not at all
probable that he ''wert away gnashing
his teeth.
