he was waiting for the blacksmith
to make the shoes the king showed
his friends who were with him
how strong he was by picking up
several horseshoes and breaking
them in two with his hands.

Apples In Boxes.

This subject would be threadbare
with all the discussion it has had of
late were it not for the urgency of the
facts. The apple barrel is by no means
a satisfactory package, especially to
the shipper of good apples, and in spite
Of obstacles the apple box is making
progress. A larger proportion Of last
years apple crop was sold in boxes
than ever before. These facts came
most painfully to the attention Of east
ern apple growers when all through
the winter months Oregon apples in
boxes sold at good prices in all east
ern cities, while New York and New
England fruit was a drug In the mar
ket. 1t was a situation which could
leave no doubt in the eastern apple
growers mind that something has to
be done. Naturally the eastern grower,
who sees his market thus cut out from
under him, thinks first of boxing his
OWE apples. He considers also the
fancy packing, trademarking and 9th
er selling devices at which the west
ern men are so clever. All these
schemes he must adopt, initiate or
improve. But there is n thing more,
and a very important one, which must
be taken into the account. The east
ern grower must grow better fruit.
Eastern apples are conceded to be of
better quality than Pacific coast stock,
but the eastern grower has relied quite
too much on this single fact. The
western apples are allowed to have
the best color and finish, but again
the eastern grower has taken this esti-
mate too much for granted. The high
quality Of New York and New Eng
land apples must be preserved, aug
mented and then advertised. The fruit
must be carefully hand thinned on the
trees in order to get a uniform grade
for box packing. The color and ap-
pearance must be improved by better
care. Western methods Of cooperative
packing, shipping and selling must be
adopted. These are large reforms
here pointed out, and the eastern farm
er is a hard subject for reform, but
these improvements have all got to be
made. Otherwise the Oregon apple
grower will appropriate the entire east.
ern market, and the eastern apple grow
ers will go into the milk business.

The Town Of Gold NIL Has the Greatest
Fire IN Its History.

The Town Of Gold MIL Has the Creates
Fire Ia Its History.
Gold Hill, March Nv. G,
Newman came in from New York,
Saturday and returned Sunday
morning. Mr.. Newman is now
president of both the Gold Hill
and Union Copper mines. A force
of men were at work all day Sun.
day laying a pipe line from the
Gold Copper Co.'s large reservoir
to the Union mine, or Nos. Z and
IL shafts, to supply water for the
boilers, as the water in the mine
is unfit for use. Tees are being
placed in the line along Main
street 90 that in case of fire water
can be takon from the line which
will greatly facilitatethe matter of
extinishing fires when they occur.
The most disastrous fire that
has aver occurred here took place
last Friday night at about 1880
p. m. The fire originated in the
dwelling occupied by J. M. Proc
tor and family, and owned by W.
L. Shaver. MI. Proctor and wife
went out after supper and In a
very short time after their depart
ure the house was discovered to be
on fire. The alarm was sounded,
the whistles at the mines vigorous
ly footed the fire alarm and a
large crowd rapidly assembled,
but of course could do nothing to
save the house, al it was a frame
building and burned like a finder
box, together with all It's contents.
There being no means of fighting
fire and practically no water in
the lower end of town available
for anything, little could be done
to save the property, however,
willing hands drawed what water
could be drawn from the few
wells and pools nearby, but the
flames rapidly spread to the ad-
joining buildings and before it
could be stopped. eight frame
buildings had been entirely de.
stroyed, entaillng q loss of five or
six thousand dollars, with no in
surance on any of them. The
buildings burned were the homes
occupied by J. M. Proctor, W. J..
Shaver's store house, the DR..
Shinpoch residence and office, a
large livery stable and store-house,
being used by Dr.. Monk for all
office and two other stables. Rome
Myers store-house caught fire, al
go the Methodist church, but by
hard work was put out with but
little damage to same. A box of
dynamite was exploded in the
DR.. Shinpoch residence with the
hope that it would raze the build
to the ground and check the pro-
gross of the fire. The result of
the explosion vas considerable
damages to nearby houses. Sew
eral hundred glasses we're broken
and in some cases sash and glass
were both broken out, and, it lit
orally rained fire for several mil
utes after the explosion occurred.
Our little village was thronged
with visitors from the country all
day Sunday viewing the scene Of

vastated the lower end of Gold
