The symbol Of the Venetian republic
the famous lion of st, Mark-is made
Of bronze. There is q tradition among
the Venetian people that its eyes are
diamonds. They are really white, ag-
ates, faceted. Its name is most elabo-
rately wrought. and It's retracted, gap
ing mouth and its fierce mustaches
give 1t an oriental aspect. The crea-
ture as 1t now stands belongs to many
different epochs. varying from some
date previous to our era down to this
century, 1t Is conJectured that 1t may
have originally formed a part Of the
decoration of some Assyrian palace,

originally, for 1t was made to stand

raised up in front to allow the eyangel

LIGHT BLCzS SONS
OVER NORTHWEST
STATE HGRE!CULTURIST WAS HERE
COrrObOrateS Estimate of Local Fruit Men
All Crops Will Be Lighter than
Last Year.

W. X. Newell, Of Castor, president
of the State Board of horticulture, was
in this city yesterday and visited all of
the fruits sections of the Lower Val
ley. He states that the prospects are
good for an excellent crop considering
the light bloom for the year. On ac-
count of the large production of the
orchards last year, said Mr.. Newell,
it is no more than we can expect that
the crop will be light this season. He
corroborates the estimates Of local
fruit men and places this years crop
at 30 or 60 per cent of what was
shipped out last year. However, he
added that it is rather early at present
to make definite estimates.
The same conditions relative to the
apple crop as found in the Hood River
Valley, Mr.. Newell stated, prevails in
all the Northwest. The outlook for the
pear crop he says is excellent in all
sections.
Mr.. Newell says that the Northwest
is going to meet with greater success
in marketing its crop this year than
last, not because the crop is smaller,
but because Of the progress made in
meInOuS. apple growers nave maze
more progress in marketing their fruit
in the last year, he said, than has been
made during 10 years preceding. He
is a strong advocate of the salesman
system. There are 10000 cities in the
United States, he explained, that
would use a carload or more Of apples
each, if the matter was proposed to
them by an experienced salesman. The
problem confronting the fruit grower.
said Mr.. Newell, is not one of over
production but that of distribution.
With the exception of the early
peach crop and few of the earliest
Strawberries, the fruit of the Valley
has been practically uninjured by the
frost. The strawberry crop, says c.
II. Sproat, will be smaller this year
than last. The acreage is less in sec
tions, especially in the tracts of ber-
ries. He estimates the berry crop to
be 80 or S5 per cent of last year crop
and says that from present prospects
it will be nearly two weeks later. The
cherry crop will be no more than 40 or
SO per cent of last year crop.
