apples in sight, both for quality and
quantity, as the apples are evenly
distributed over the trees and are
maturing in splendid manner. The
value of the crop will probably be
materially above average, owing to
the great shortage in the Middle West
and East, and the further fact that the
selling price of Hood Rivers has an
upward inclination yet. So says j.
c. Skinner, secretary of the Hood
River Commercial Club, who is in
Portland. MIR. Skinner reports that
all orchardists out in the apple garden
valley are in high state of expectation.
Their certainty of production was
never better illustrated than this
year, when freakish weather has swept
the Nation from Winter to Summer.

the combination of the two plants
gives them excellent facilities for
making abstracts.

Secretary Skinner says the Hood
River apple crop is coming on in fine
shape and that the quality of the
fruit is above the usual high standard
already set by Hood River fruit.
The apples this year are even in size

that coloring and form are about per-
feet. He says fruit growers in that
district are interested in Portland's s
apple show and will be well represent
ed with exhibits"

10 The Hague tribunal, would not be
likely TO speak without knowledge He
has expressed the opinion that the
Knox court of arbitral justice viii be
an accomplished fact by the time of
the next meeting AT The Hague.
How much has been accomplished
since the Geneva arbitration settled 4
dispute between the United States and
Great Britain which in former times
could not have been brought To close
without war. The awful waste of war
and its shocking inhumanity have
been demonstrated on several occas-
sions since then. But after each
bloody conflict arises a protest of
civilized humanity against so clumsy
and fiendsh method OF settling diff
ferences as the resort 10 fire and
slaughter. There was time when
men went To war because they liked
the sport. That was in the days of
hand TO hand conflict. Those days
have passed. There is broader spir-
ii OF brotherhood among the nations.
And it is WELL The World Court of Ar
bitral Justice will call To mind all the
human progress that has been achiev-
ed since the Romans reared the Tenn
pie OF Janus.
