INSPECTOR CAMPBELL CONDEMNS
TWENTY-E|GHT BOXES Of APPLES

Twenty-eight boxes of wormy ap-
pies which were to have been sold
in Pendleton by a fruit peddler from
the Milton country, were seized this
morning by County Fruit Inspector
S. j. Campbell and will be destroy
ed Though refusing to give the
name of the peddler, Campbell de-
clared he had warned the man twice
and despite the fact that he is one Of
his own neighbors seized the fruit.
The apples in question were culls
which had been purchased Of fruit
packing company at Milton for ten
cents per box. The peddler alleged
that he was buying them to make
cider, this being permitted by law.
But instead of converting the fruit
into cider, the purchaser loaded 1t
into a wagon and brought 1t to this
city with the intention Of peddling 1t

the wormy apples the county fruit
inspector came. to Pendleton, where
he soon located the fruit at a local
stable.
The apples were Immediately con-
demned and as soon as Mr. Campbell
has an opportunity to consult with
district Attorney Phelps relative to
the proper legal steps to be taken, he
will administer a coat Of coal oil to
the condemned fruit, after which the
owner will be allowed to make what
disposition of them he can. This
will cause them to be destroyed with

Other fruit peddlers had better take
warning from this example as Fruit

householders seem disposed to assist
him in the crusade.

Pendleton, Ore, Oct. 7, 1909.
Editor East Oregonian:
Dear Sir:-If you will kindly grant
me little space in your columns I
would like to say word in relation
to the proposition of installing a grav-
ity water system in this city.
No one can question the desirability
of getting an abundant supply of pure
water. But thoughtful citizens will
take a careful inventory of our fl
nancial resources before venturing to
involve the city in such bond issue
as would be- necessary to finance the
project.
When our farmers and stockmen,
who are now getting rich, get ready
to retire they seek a location where
they can have modern conveniences,
good water and as much immunity as
possible from taxation. It is largely
this class of people who are building
up Walla Walla.
If we can show these people a
good water supply. good lights, good
streets and low taxation there is no
reason why they should make their
money here and spend it elsewhere.
Revenue is the crying need of this
municipality. Some source of indi-
rect revenue must be found to sup
plement the property tax. If a fur
ther bond issue means higher taxa
ton, then the bonds must not be is
sued That a gravity water system,
if installed by itself, would increase
the tax rate as we'll as the price of
water, I think is certain. As an in
dependent proposition I do not think
this city can afford it, but in connec-
ton with a municipal electric plant
some sort of an improved water sup
ply would be a paying proposition.
Fortunately for Pendleton We are
not hampered in the matter of a mu-
nicipal electric plant by outstanding
franchises. The only company now
holding franchise to supply this city
with electric light and power is the
Northwestern Gas & Electric COM
pany. It's franchise was not granted
for any definite length of time, and
can, in my opinion, be cancelled at
any time. If, therefore, the city
should install an electric plant the
entire local market for light and
power, amounting to $4,000 or S50,-
600 per annum, can be had by the
city. A monopoly having such mar
ket as this ought to yield handsome
profit on any investment. up to two
or three hundred thousand dollars.
am not in a position just now even
to estimate what an electric plant
would cost, but in connection with a
gravity water system the electrical
part of the plant would probably cost
about $4,000.
The city of Milton has been clear
ing about $4,000 per annum in a field
where the market for electricity is
probably about one-tenth what our
market is. I see no reason why, con-
sidering the availability Of water
power and the citys authority to con-
troll the electric situation, an electric
plant could not be made to yield a
profit great enough to materially re-
duce, If not altogether TO eXtinguish.
the city property tax.
I hope every citizen Of Pendleton
will attend the mass meeting next

to take steps for the naming of an
entire city. county and borough tic

Seattle, Oct Coast freight rates
are under investigation here by full
membership Of the interstate COM
merce commission which began a
hearing here today that is expected
to occupy a week. Coast shippers
are asking a readjustment of east
bound traffic as far out as they
reach. in order that coast manufac-
turers and jobbers may compete on
an equal footing with shippers of
st. Paul, Omaha, Chicago, Kansas
City and other distributing points in
the middle states.
The great bulk of shipments from
the coast go out on class rates, while
the eastern shippers enjoy commo-
dity rates on articles that have been
picked out of classes. Under the
present conditions Seattle, Tacoma
and Portland manufacturers can not
sell their goods much beyond the Cas-
cade mountains, owing to the rates
for eastern shippers. j. n. Teal of
Portland, is here presenting the case

harvested, with the exception of that
which Is buried underneath the snow.
They are unable to get at this and I'M
less the snow melts soon, 1T will have

number of outside huskers have been
hired in this locality this fall than al
most ever before, due to the fact that
the farmers were unable to enter their
fields for so long period this fall on
account Of the exceedingly wet weather.
When the cold snap set In the prices
for hired help became almost fabulous
in order to get the crop out before the
heavy SHOWS came. Several farmers
have invested in corn husking ma
chimes, which have proven themselves
we'll worth the money, and large
number contemplate purchasing ma
chimes next fall. The corn crop this
year has fallen considerably short, not
being so good either in quality or guam
tity and q considerable amount of that
which was harvested during the early
portion of the fell is lost owing to the
corn decomposing in the cribs and
granaries, on account Of the unusual
warm weather.
