in apple growing and apple handling is
being made In Delaware every day.
One load Of apples. containing 200

On Monday Mr.. Soper delivered 100
bushels and sold them for S2S5.
From Wyoming station Of the Penn
sylvanla railroad there have been
shipped about forty carloads OF ap-
pies since July /, and II is expected
that the July shipments will finally
reach a total Of sixty cars. This Is not
equal to last year, when the July total
reached eighty, carloads, but during
last year tho growers lacked expert
ence in some ways Of the world and
we're shipping prematures and fruit
that had been picked many days prior
TO maturity This year they have learn
ed the lesson that only perfect fruit
brings perfection prices, and this prob
ably accounts for the fancy prices thus
far received.
Up to Monday morning the Pennsyl-
vania railroad had handled, over It's
Delaware division. 4,019 baskets a day,
and with a total for the first twenty
FIVE days OF July Of b4,i69 baskets, For
the same reason as above stated the
record was not up 10 last year! but Il
pointed out that one 100-mile division

of apples Git will probably reach TO-
600 by the end OF july during the

world in early apples.
Cantaloupes show the only material
gain over last year of any OF the pop
ular Delaware fruits. Up 10 Monday
2.527 carriers OF finest peninsula can
taloupes had been shipped, while the

Of last year show that none had been

OVERHEAD WIRES.

The suggestion at the Monday night
meeting of the council as to placing all
overhead wires underground before the
surfacing Of the streets in the business
portion of the city is one that deserves
consideration, No city's business
streets, as is we'll known, are made
attractive by the poles, necessary tc
carry them, and numerous overhead
wires. The question of placing the
wires has already been agitated. The
council has already been petitioned tC
take such action. The time is un.
doubtedly not far away when the
public sentiment will demand it. The
business districts of most all up to.
date and modern cities are free from
overhead wires. If the paving is done
before the wires are placed under
ground, it will create a greater ex'
pense in the execution of the work in
addition to an impediment in traffic
and a creation of defects in the surfac-
ing of the streets. Under such cir.
cumstances the companies should see
that it is to their best advantage to
hasten the completion of the work OF
making the change, and cooperate
with the council in an endeavor Il
place the wires underground as soon as
possible.

Convict Labor Discontinued.

II was announced Monday morning
that Loewberg 4 Going Company were
in default of their payments for con-
tracted convict labor in the company s
stove foundry second time and. that
the men were not allowed to return to
their work. 1t was also announced
that the state considers its contract
with the stove company cancelled and
that the contract labor system would
be abolished.
About $50 convicts have been en-
ployed in the foundry. Once before
the company was in default of its pay
ment and at that time Governor West
re-arranged some of the terms of the
contract before he would allow it to
remain in force.
The company baked at paying for
the use of certain men, however. and
now the contract is again in arrears, as
far as payments are concerned. In
view of this, the governor announced
his decision to discontinue the use of
all contracted convict labor.

HOOD RIVERS SUCCESS.

Success With Apples in the Hood
River Valley" Is the title Of an article
IN the October number Of the Pacific
Monthly written by +. n. Shepard,
editor Of Better Fruit. BY simple
statement Of facts. one Of the greatest
boosts for any successful region. Mr..
Shepard tells why Hoo River stands
in the vanguard Of the country's apple
growing sections. He has depicted for
the reader all the Valleys assets
The grandeur Of the mountain, wood
land and river scenery, the aesthetic
charm that draws the homesteader.
who loves the beauties Of nature; the
climate, one that is difficult TO find
fault with and one that, because Of
the peculiar conformation Of the val
ley, produces the prefect and long
keeping fruit; the soil conditions.
which with the climate gives to the
community its economic charm; and
finally the cooperative spirit of he
residents, the element that has given
them the power of making the most Of
their own efforts coupled with the aid
OF lavish nature.
The following interesting extracts
are taken from Mr.. Shepards article
"rhe conditions necessary for the pro
duction of fine fruit in the Hood River
district are not only ideal, they are
perfect. The sea breeze that constant
ly sweeps up the Columbia river from
the Pacific Ocean $50 miles away,
amelorates the climatic conditions TO
just the right degree of temperature,
and the Sreezes from the snow capped
mountains close by preserve. during
the entire summer, the coolness Of

development of the apple to its highest
degree of perfection IN flavor. texture
and keeping quality. The continual
sunshine during the growing season
adds the finishing touches of color to
the king of fruits.
"The fruit grower of Hood River
has set the pace for high class work.
manship, and is held up as a model for
every other fruit growing section in
the world; model worthy Of imitation
and an example that every other fruit
growing section is striving to equal.
In fact so thoroughly and perfectly has
the Hood River apple grower done his
work during the last ten years that the
Hood River Apple Growers brand is
sold on its reputation. with a guaran-
tee that is good all over the world. A
director Of the union Of another fruit
section, who spent several months in
England last year, stated that the
Hood River Apple Growers Union
brand was the only pack Of fruit that
was sold on the English auction market
where the buyer and bidder had such
confidence In the quality and grade
that they made their purchases without
opening box to examine the contents.
Hood River Valley believes in cooper
alton. Its growers are united, work
ing in harmony, and nearly every or
chardist is a member of the Hood
River Apple Growers Union. 1t is
the one district in the world where the
fruit growers own and control their
own warehouse. cold storage plants
and irrigation dtehes."
