GoeD STARr

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 13.-Out on the
snow covered surface of the Ottawa
river one of the most classy harness
racing meetings ever held in Canada
has just been concluded The best
horses of the dominion and some of
lesser merit from the United States for
six days contested for big purses on d
half-mile track laid out midway be-
tween the Ontario and Quebec shores
of the stream, while from the rough
board grandstand and scores of fur
lined sleighs great crowd applauded.
1t would be hard to find a season of
the year in which the Canadians are
not paying devoted attention to some
form of sport Winter is perhaps
richer in outdoor pastime than spring,
summer or autumn. From the course
several busy toboggan slides could be
observed on the slopes of the steep
shores of the river, and the cars which
took the racegoers out from the hotels
were often loaded with young and
old, bound with skis for the hills our
side of town
The Central Canadian Racing assos
citation provided a good card and the
meeting was well worth a visit, NOT
only that one might see the races,
but to observe the crowd as well. It
was a coonskin throng. All Canada
goes in for fur coats in the winter,

MEAT TOO DEAR
FOR HETTY GREEN
You Don't Get Your Money s
Worth Says the Mistress
of Millions.

New York, Jan. 24-AIrs. Hetty
Green, who has more millions than
most persons nave hundreds: declared
to-day that meat is too dear for her,
at present prices. Mrs. Green entered
a modest uptown restaurant and
scanned the bill of fare Steak she
found at so cents a portion. and roast
lamb and roast beef at 35 cents She
took halihut at Is cents.
Have you joined the bovcott?" ask
ed a friend.
mo" said Mrs Green. but meat is
too high. You don't get your moneys
worth. People really can't afford 10
eat It. There are other things just
as good and cheaper"
There appear to he many who agree
with Mrs. Green. In response to a
lighter demand, the price OF beef In
the Brooklyn Wholesale district de-
clined 20 per cent. to-day. and pork
loins slumped sympathetically.
ELGIN BUTTER DROPS. TOO
Elgin. Ill. Jan. c4--The price OF
creamery butter dropped to 30 cents
to-day.
The drop since last Monday from 30
cents. coming in the midst of the agi-
tation against the nigh prices of food
caused much speculation as to the
cause. 1t was admitted by the butter
board mcnhers that the drop was due
largely to the agitation against high
prices and to the tendency in many To-
calities to abstain from high priced
foodstuffs. Word reached Elein, it was
said, that some cities Ind threatened
a butter boycott.
LOWER PRICES AT CLEVELAND.
Cleveland. Ohio. Jan. 94--The beginning
OF the second week Of Cleveland's boy
colt Of meat was marked by further
drop In the wholesale flesh market.
Hogs were quoted at the union stock
yards at twenty and twenty-five cents
lower a hundred and cattle dropped ten
and fifteen cents. This Is in addition to
the decrease of Friday.
Fred W. Sebelin, the man who orgi-
mated the strike will meet tomorrow
with Mayor "A. c. Baehr, to arrange
for great public mass meeting to
protest against the prices of meat. It
is planned to send a delegation to sena-
| tor Burton and the city's ConRrcssmcn
to demand that Congress act.
CATTLE PRICES TAKE TUMBLE
Pittshurg. Jan. 9i-Cattle prices took n
big tumble At the union stock yards here
rs a direct result Of the meat boycott
which goes into effect tomorrow for 80
days. For one month 1900 men re-
presenting Goo coo persons in the Pitts
burg district will abstain from eating
meat.
While there has been some reduction
in the prices Of veal and pork, beef still
continues ut the price that set the hoy
colt in operation. The drop in the price
of cattle was from 40 TO 20 cents
hundred. The price of hogs also drop
ped but there was no reduction In
dressed beef. II WAS reported that the
supply OF hoes and cattle was greater

THE STANDARD APPLE BOX.
Advantages Of the Plan offered by the
Infean Bill.
lErnm the Portland Orernnian

CFrom the Portland Oregonian)
Theoretically. no fault can he found
with the purpose OF the Lafean bill to es-
tablish an ample box of standard size for
interstate and foreign trade. The box
selected is one which contains 2.342 cubic
inches. and. TO a person unfamiliar with
apple growing and packing. this will
probably appear as suitable as any 9th
or. The consumer who buys box mark
ed II. S. STANDARD" will know unfai-
ingly just what It's cubic capacity is.
and what more does he want? To the
practical orchardist of tho Pacific coast.
however, the size OF the hox fixed upon
in the Lafean bill is by no means a
subject OF Indifference. II means the
decentralization of his well-es.s blished.
worldwide and thoroughly honest husi-
ness. The Oregon apple-growers have
adopted boxes which are suitable in
every way to the size and shape OF the
fruit which they produce The form Of
these packages, the labels upon them and
their general appearance are known in
every market from Pekn to London, and
wherever they arc known they carry an
assurance of answering integrity. The
quality and quantity of the fruit in an
Oregon apple box are absolutely guarsn-
tecd by the label 1t bears,
II would require good deal OF hardi-
hood to accuse Oregon apple growers
o' trlckerY or dcciet Of any description.
Better than in almost any other case,
the purchaser OF box of Oregon apples
knows what he is getting before he has
opened the package. He knows the num-
Der of apples II contains, their size. COL
or and quality. The Lafean bin requires
the package to contain mot more than
10 per cent" OF scabby. wormy md
bruised fruit. In Il standard Oregon
box. nobody can find a solitary apple
which Is not free from defect This Is
one of the facts which the present form
and appearance of the package certify
TO the world.
Again, the size and shape of the Oregon
box have been gradually evolved to suit
the fruit which II Is to contain. No
other would permit the apples to be
packed so compactly and neatly.
smaller box would destroy the symmet-
ry Of the arrangement larger one.
such as the Lafean bill requires, would
make 1t necessary to revise the art OF
packing from the rudlments. The
knowledge gained from long experience
and hard study which our experts pos
sess would suddenly become worse than
useless. They must begin at tho rudi-
ments and learn their trade anew. And
all for what? To satisfy purely theo-
retical whimsy. Granting that a stand
ard box ought to be adopted, we submit
that the Hood river size should be pre-
fcrred. This II In general use In Oregon
