EARLY VARIETIES
GO TO ENGLAND

The first sale of apples to be report.
ed by the Hood River Apple Growers
Union took place last week when ID.
Orossley Il Sons, of New York and
Boston, secured the early fall val ieties
controlled ty the union. The pun
chase includes the Wealthies, Kings
basis that was very satisfactory to the
toard OF directors.
The consignment consists of IL to IA
cars and will be sent to England. Al.
ready a good part of the fruit is on
the way to New York, where it ia ex-
pected to make close connection with
steamers sailing from that point and
Is expected to be on the London and
Liverpool markets within three weeks
from the time it Is shipped from Hood
River. The early apples are said to
be OF fine quality this year, but we're
picked little earlier than has hereto
fore been the rule. 1t Is found that
they mature and ship better by being
handled In this way and command a
better price.
The experiment made by the union
two years ago of shipping these early
varieties Of apples to England was
such a success that it Is likely that
they will hereafter be sent there every
year. 1hey arrive on the markets
there at time when the apple mar
ket is comparatively bare OF this fruit,
as all of the old crop has become ex-
hausted and the early Canadian apples
which supply the English trade until
the winter varieties are received, do
not arrive until sometime later. The
Grossly firm handled the apples two
years ago when they we're shipped
across the Atlantic and believe that IL
they are handled this way every year
80 that the trade there will expect
them there 1t will create a standing
demand at a good figure.
1he fruit has been packed and
graded with extra care this year ao-
cording to the instructions Of the di-
rectors who adopted resolution at
one OF their meetings some weeks ago
to put finer grade and better pack
OF apples this year than has ever been
shipped out of Hood River.
AS yet no winter varieties have been
sold, although buy yers are commencing
to feel out the situation and are try
ing to get line ON what growers ex
pect for their fruit this year. They
are watching for any sales that may
be made at Hood River with extra
vigilance and much correspondence is
being received asking for information
that will keep them in touch with the
conditions here.

Clipped from the Exchanges Which
Come to Our Table.

The state is putting up a glorious
front this spring. Every indication
and promise is for good year. The
soil is in good condition, health
abounds, the old timers are conf.
dent, and the new settlers find con
ditions more favorable than ever
their sangine expectations had led
them to look for.
Onaone occasion when in congress
Gen. Benjamin Butler arose in his
place and intimated that the member
who occupied the floor was trans

The students at Leland Stanford
University have had a good deal OF
trouble and scandal over the use of
liquor in the fraternity houses, and

not only in the complete Punishment

but from the entire municipality.
The new Oklahoma banking law
received its first test and worked
like charm. The international
bank of Coalgate was taken in charge
by Bank Examiner H. H. Smock for
alleged violation of law. Deposits
amounted to $4,000, but the bank
only had $4,000 with which to meet
them. Commissioner Smock paid
out the $4,000 and then drew
checks on the state reserve guaranty
fund, provided for just such emery
encies by tax of one per cent on
deposits Of all state banks. The
result was that an horr after the
bank closed the depositors had all
their money.

result in his death. He had been to
Elkton for the purpose of hauling lum-

town he was driving one of three
wagons loaded with lumber. He had
stepped to the ground and was attempt
ing to get up on his wagon when he
lost his balance and fell, the team being
in motion at the time. The unfortu-

wheels, one of which passed across his
face and eyes, crushing his skull. He
was at once brought to the home of O.

was summoned. That he will survive
his terrible injuries is very doubtful,

are doing everything possible for him.
