The Christm as entertainment at the
school house will be remembered as
the first of its kind in the history of
the valley. In one short year the
population of this favored vale has
increased so that such an affair was
possible, and the attendance. mum :
boring over 60 persons, comprising
two thirds of those who reside here,
shows the interest taken by our citi-
zens. Among the ladies who were
the moving spirits in the affair were
Mesdames Schoff, Waddell, Wilson,
Turner and Miss Nina Pool, teacher
of the valley school, who prepared a
very interesting juvenile program
that made hit with all. The Christ
mas tree was native product, fine
young cedar tree secured from the
canyon of Cold Springs creek, through
the kind services of Messrs. Koch and
Waddell. The Christmas committee
with the true Christmas spirit saw
that there was something for everyone
hanging on the tree and many were
the gifts that Santa Claus Koch dis
tributed. The colors of Santa Claus
whiskers this year was pale yellow,
similar to jute rope, showing that the
famous parsonage is growing younger
The program carried out by the young
folks was well received and brought
applause for each number. The only
thing even approaching mishap in
the crowded room was when the floor
in one corner dropped down few
inches under the enormous weight sus-
tanned. The general sentiment ex-
pressed was that Medbury would re-
quire larger place of meeting for
the next Christmas gathering when it
is quite probable that our population
will have increasd to several hundred

NJ. M. HILL SELLS 10
ACRES FOR $4,000

The most notable..sale of apple land
that has ever been made in the State
of Oregon took place last week when
County Commissioner M. NJ. Hill dis
posed of ten acres of 7-year. old bear
ing trees for SIG, 900. AS there are no
buildings of any kind on the tract
the price is straight one Of 81, GOO
per acre and Is the highest that he's
ever been paid for orchard land in the
state.
The purchaser is Frank +. Deem, of
Galva, Illinois, who left here last Fri
day for that place, where he will close
up his business and come to Hood
River TO live. 1t is his intention to
erect buildings, il possible, ON his
newly acquired property this fall.
The tract bought by Mr., Deem is
part OF the fifty acres set to orchard
by Mr.. Hill on his fine property near
Van Horn Station and is in Newton
and Spitzenbergs.s Although the buy
did not include this years crop it is
considered good one for the pur-
chaser as the trees on Mr.. Hill's place
have demonstrated both this year
and last that they are remarkably fine
yielders and are just reaching an age
where they will pay return of many
times over on the investment.
News of the sale.bas caused wide-
spread interest all over the state and
orchard men are predicting that bear.
ing orchards will sell for much high
er price per acre at Hood River in.

UNION SELLS ANOTH.
Err LOT OF APPLES

The Directors of the Apple Growers
Union consummated another import
ant apple sale here this week when
they sold ten cara of apples which
will go to Texas and New York. The
fruit was sold at the Unions quota
tions and consists of Wagners, Jona-
thans. LAWYERS, BaIdwins, Mammoth
Black Twigs, Rhode Island Greenings
and Snow apples.
The shipment will comprise about
1000 boxes and with the other apples
that have been sold by the Union
markets about half the quantity of
apples which that organization will
handle this year. The sale is con-
sidered a good one particularly the
shipment that has been taken by
Texas buyers who are in the market
tor more fruit but are not Just yet
prepared to take bigger supply. 1t
is believed that the wider the distrI-
button of Hood River truit the biggre
the demand for it will be and under
the present plans of the Union 1t will
be possible to hold and distribute it
to the best advantage at the highest
prices.
1t is stated that the entire lot of
apples still unsold could be placed
at proti able figure as negotiations
for them have been keen by big buy
ers in Chicago and other cities. They
have offered, however, a slightly re
duced hgure from what the Union
hol On hnI nj RI nI
until a moro satisfactory price is
offered they will not be sold.
The market for fancy apples In
better now than it was several weeks
ago and indications are that it will
grow better as the season advances.
The block of apples just sold include
all of some of the varieties and in
stallments of others.

What brains and progress applied
to Oregon resources can do, was
emphasized yesterday at Hood River,
says the Oregon journal. A sale Of
800, 600 worth of apples is the Incl
dent. The buyer sought the fruit,
and is happy In its possession.
"Ihese. apples have created market
that cannot be filled Ivy the fruit Of
any other district" he said. "Hood
River is the pivotal point around
which buyers revolve for the finest
grade of apple stock anywhere in the
world, and we and other firms know
it. There Is no section where the
apple crop and the prices for it are
so carefully wvtched as Hood River.
II seems surprising that such u com.
paratively small crop OF apes as is
grown here cuts such big figure in
the apple world, but it is accounted
for by tho fact that dealers every
where recognized that Hood River
apples ale the absolute standard of
xcellence in quality and pack.
Granting that the buyers posses
slons of $4,000 worth of such apples
may influence somewhat his roseate
view of Hood River stocks the fact
of the sale is still proof of his state
ment. 1t is the first large sale Of
the season and the figure Is "highly
sa istaotory' to The growers No
other such sale has been made on the
coast, and probably not in the
country. 1t sets Hood River pro-
ducts, Hood River methods and Hood
River operators before the country
as models iu the industry.
The condition Is more than mere
sup' Iiority of location. Many fruit
experts claim other districts OF Oregon
are equally we'll adapted to the in
dastry. But Hood River hda applied
intelligence. Growers there have
pioneered the way in use of enlighten-
ed method. They threw aside the
OK yoke and fail methods long ago.
They studied the business as the
banker studies his saccounts. They
sought information from every source.
They read, and now read the bulletins
of all the agricultural colleges in
! the country. They do not reject new

Apples Firm at New York.

Advices from western New York
state this week are that the market in
the growing sections is becoming
quite firm at 81 per barrel for fine
apples. Towards the end of the week
considerable business was icing done.
The Packer did not hear that sany
sales were being made above 81.
The market here was fairly steady
aud good fruit was in demand. Fancy
Alexanders sold we'll at 3S to $3.50
and Gravenstein, Twenty Ounce, York
Pippin and other such varieties at
S2 - to 81 rs. Kings brought 50. so
to 50 The above prices are for choice
to fancy fruit, and there was great
deal of poor stock offered which sold
