IL she did not SO ahead and apply
for q divorces. Mr. Royal touched
upon the part John w. Tyler. the
young theatrical manager OF Balti-

case, and then rehearsed certain feA-
lures of the case that transpired when

KEELINE SELLS
LARGE APPLE CROP

Thirty-five carloads of apples, 100
barrels to the car, all from the orchard
of W. 5. Keeline, near Council Bluffs,
have been purchased by Palmer & Co,
of Sioux City, for $l2, 200. The price
has been been paid for the apples as
they hang on the trees. The orchard
from which this great crop has been
sold consists of fifty-three acres, and
has been cultivated from the begin
ming under the direction of tho scien-
tific department of the Iowa State
Agricultural college at Ames.
Several times this crop of apples has
been saved by the use of oil burners.
1t has been frequently inspected by
Profs. Beach and Greene, of the Ames
school.
The deal between Mr.. Keeline and
Palmer n Co. was made on the follow
ing quotations: Jonathan and Grimes
Golden, 81. 45 per barrel; Wincsaps and
Genitans, $l.90; Ben Davis and similar
varieties, $l.45. Half of the crop is
of the Jonathan variety.
Mr.. keeline is president of the Ma
tional horticultural association. The
price received for his pples yields him
about S2lS an acre. Sioux City, Ia.
Journal
Mr.. Keelne is the father of Frank
keeline, who has been in the Hood
River Valley for the past year making
a study of apple culture.

HYDRO ELECTRIC MAY
ENTER THE DALLES

N. C. Evnsa, one of the chief stock
holders of the Hydro Electric Co., met
with the common council at The Dalles
last week and asked that body for a
franchise in their city. His plan re-
ceived favorable attention since the
people of The Dalles are at present
protesting the heavy rates Of the
Pacific Power & Light Co. The matter
was referred to a committee, which
will make report October 3.
Mr.. Evans said in part to The Dalles
Council:
'The situation here at The Dalles is
the same as at Hood River. Myself
and associates are getting ready to
install an electric plant at Hood River
and we propose and wish to make it
large enough so that we can also
supply The Dalles with juice. We
have secured franchise at Hood
and there is no reason why people here
should not give us the same privilege
unless they want to be held up and
robbed. We will guarantee to furnish
electricity 20 per cent less than the
rates here at the present time, and in
reality the charges of our company
would probably be nearer what they
are now.

BRUNQUIST RETURNS
FROM FAIR VISIT

A. J. Brunquist, who has been repre-
senting Better Fruit at the4State Fait
returned from Salem Saturday even
ing. He reports that although it was
too early for the best in the line of a
fruit display. yet it was great fair.
The agricultural exhibits this year
were more elaborate than ever and pro-
vided a striking demonstration of the
fact that every section of our State,
although differing In soil, topography
and climate with intelligent and up
to date methods, is capable of enor-
nous yields and good profits.
The camping features Of the Oregon
State Fair is a distinctive one. All
State Fairs have few campers, people
who are either exhibitors or have con-
cessions, but there are hundreds of
people who are already looking for
ward to their week of camp life at the
Oregon State Fair next year.
The attendance at the Fair was very
good considering the fact that it rained
nearly every day. A fine string of
races had been arranged but as the
track was heavy no records were brok-
en-. Better Fruit received gratifying
words of appreciation for the work it
is doing both from subscribers and ad-
vertisers.

HORSE THIEF CAUGHT
AT LA CENTER

d. Chubb, according to a dispatch to
Oregonan, aged FL, was arrested by
Sheriff Cresap and Deputy Sheriff
Woodward Tuesday at La Center, on a
charge of stealing two horses valued
at 5000 from Elmer Bertelson, of Cam
as Prairie, Wash, last Wednesday
night. Chubb is held in the county
jail here until he can be taken back to
Camas Prairie for trial. He confessed
to the theft.
Chubb, who says his home is at
Trout Lake, Wash, reached La Center
last night in starving condition,
having had no food since Wednesday
except two sandwiches and couple of
cookies. After leaving Camas Prairie
he followed the old Mcclellan trail
and forded the North fork of the
Lewis River in the darkness. He SAYS
he had narrow escape from drown
ing. The stolen horses were aban-
doned in pasture by Chubb shortly
after he crossed the river.

by engineer r. Van divort, was in this

CONCERNING CHARTER AMENDMENT.

In his objections to sign the
warrants for the purchase Of the
Pacific Power & Light Company S
water plant, Mayor Hartwig says that
the city has taken no steps toward the
amendment of the city's charter as
asked for in the communication to the
council from the New York attorneys
Of the Chicago bond brokers. Ulen &
Co. With these amendments, he
ststesl thes city could go into the
market with the bonds and receive
bids at a greater advantage. II
seems, noting the fact that Mr.. Hart
wig, himself. has been chairman Of
tse charter amendment committee ap-
pointed by the council more than six
months ago, ,. that he should have made
some effort to call the committee to-
gether for action. However, the fact
is that the Charter Amendment com
mittee has been called together but
once, and then at the instigation of
Councilman Howe. Mr.. Hartwig's
deliberations are too lengthy.

ESKIMO SEALERS.
A Battle Of Alertness Between the
Hunter and His prev

A Battle Of AIertness Between the
Hunter and His Prey.
The Eskimo method Of hunting seals
shows a primitive calling improved to
a fine art. When a seal is discovered
the direction Of the wind is at once
noted. Then the hunter, keeping
himself to the leeward of the seal,
walks up to within about a quarter Of
mile of 1t. Beyond this he begins to
crouch and advances only when the
seals head Is down.
Now. as the seal Is one Of the most
wideawake Of animals and has the
habit of throwing up its head quickly
every few seconds to guard against
danger. 1t follows tnat the Eskimo has
to be extremely alert II he would get
bis seal. When the seals head is
down upon the ice its eyes are shut,
and 1t is said that In these brief inter-
vals 1t takes its sleep.
The hunter by carefully watching
the seals movements is able without
much difficulty to get within about 200
yards of 1t, but at closer quarters he
is obliged to employ other tactics. He
lies down at full length on the fee.
Then the real sport begins.
When the seals head Is down the
hunter. who keeps a keen eye on his
prey, is able to approach still nearer
bV dr0 ppipp htmaalf farward on hfO
elbows. This maneuvering continues
for some time until the distance be-
tween man and beast has been re-
duced to few yards.
When near enough to make sure
shot the Eskimo takes his bow and
arrow from his side and sends a swift
shaft through the head Of his outwit-
ted companion. Sometimes instead of
the bow and arrow harpoon Is used
with equal effect. -Harper's Weekly.

THE PRICE OF SUGAR.

The failure of the sugar beet croE
on the European continent is said tc
be the cause of the high price OF
sugar, which has reached such figure
as to cause the housewife look fol
suitable substitutes. Unless the rise
breaks, candy lovers should purchase
from their confectioners before he has
to visit the market again. The Ore
gonian says:
1T costs something to satisfy the
proverbial sweet tooth" of the
nation these days. The day in which
an advance in the price of sugar is not
noted occupies a lonesome place ON
the weeks calendar. ID really looks
as # we would be compelled to return
to "hlackstrap" for sweetening our
coffee, Atatfy for our daintiest sweet.
meet, and gingerbread for angel cake.
However, self-denial was scheduled a
saving grace by our Puritan forbears
and this may be good point at which
to begin the practice of this old fash
loned virtue. At any rate, sugar is
higher than in some years highest. it
is even said, in the history of sugar
refining. Evidently we have got TO
stand the rise" and make the best
of it. "
