Mrs Whitney raised her eyes from her embroidery and glanced out of the window. Then she leaned forward,
 letting her work drop to her knees,
 and fixed her gaze on some object in
 the street. A moment later she fell
 back limp in her chair.
 T knew it! l felt it coming!" she moaned. "Oh, Henry, Henryi"
 Her cousin Katherine rushed across the room and peered anxiously out of
 the window, expecting to see nothing
 less tragical than the head of the
 household being borne home on a
 stretcher. Instead, she saw that per
 son walking brisllly down the street,
 apparently in all his pristine vigor
 and bearing a package of huge propor- tions. This package he placed carefully
 on the step while he fumbled for his
 latchkey.
 Dear. me, Helen, what a start
 you gave mel, complained Cousin
 Katherine. What in the world is the
 matter ?"
 Mrs. Whitney sat up very straight
 and spoke grinly in measured accents.
 Henry Whitney has been to another
 auction sale"
 Cousin Katherine looked somewhat nettled. Well, really, Helen,'' she said, T don't see why IL should excite you so. It seems a harmless amusement" "Harmless!" Mrs. Whitney spoke with bitter emphasis. 'Why, Cousin Katherine, l haven't had a peaceful moment since Henry got this auction craze. I never know what he is go ing to bring home. That atrociOus clock in the library and those two un speakable vases in Henry's den are some of the fruits of his mania for auctions"
 "Oh, I supposed they were wedding
 presents,1 put in Cousin Katherine. q think he has brought home a
 second hand tombstone this time" l judging from the size of it," declared Mrs. Whitney. The auction people simply get hold of him and sell him everything that nobody else will have" Couldn't you persuade him" "Oh, I gave up trying to reason with him long ago. Sh-h-h! Here he is." Whitney entered with the ineffable smile of one who says to himself: T have a precious secret to divulge-all in my own good time" He crossed the room with a perfunctory greeting to his wife and her guest and deposited his burden affectionately in the corner | on a couch. Then he produced pen | knife from his pocket and proceeded

The last paper came off with flourish revealing in all its . hideousness an imitation bronze figure of a youth clothed in barbaric gar ments which may have atoned for their scanriness by a superabundance of gliding.
 Whitney gazed upon this work of art | with rapt admiration. Then he turned to the two women as if to invite their | praise.
 If at this instant maid had not announced dinner there might have | been a painful domestic scene, for Mrs. | Whitney's powers of self-repression were strained to tfe breaking point. Moved by a sinIle impulse, hostess and guest hastened to the dining room, | leaving the host to follow after one more rapturous glance at his new | treasure.
 At 12 o'clock that night the house was dark and still when two misty shapes invaded the living room and made their way to the couch in the corner There was a heavy thud and | then the shapes vanished.
 Why, how in the world could 1t i have happened?" exclaimed Mrs. Whit | ney and Cousin kather1no in concert when the next morning loud outcries from Whitney brought them to ths living room, where he had gone to take a look at his new acquisition before starting downtown. Now he stood, pointing tragically.
 Upon the floor, with it's head severed from it's body, lay the figure in it's at tire of bronze paint.
 It is absolutely neXplicajble-abso- ] lutely," said Whitney, discOnsolately, stopping to pick up the paint bedecked head. | It was not until the man of the house had departed that the two conspirators
 dared to look at each other. Then they
 broke into peals of laughter.

One of the strongest addresses
made at the recent meeting of the
State Horticultural Society held at
Lewiston, was made by Homer G.
Atwell, former president of the Ore
gon State Horticultural Society.
Space does not permit the entire
address of Mr.. Atwell but the most
salient features are herewith pre-
sented. He said:
President Howard Elliott, of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, predicted
last year an output of 100, 900 cars at
maturity of the apple orchards now
planted in the Pacific Northwest.
Planting statistics justify his esti-
mate. There are 275, 900 acres planted
to apples in Washington, Oregon and
Idaho. Assuming that one half of
this area will never become produc-
tive, and this is a liberal allowance
for disappointed hopes, we shall still
have approximately 135, 600 acres.
Upon the moderate estimate of 400
OOAOO W Uuo dCIo, Uh0 OuUDuL WOulO
be 81, 600, 900 boxes or 10000 cars.
Enough trees have been planted, since
Mr.. EIliott's estimate was made, to
insure realization of his prediction.
What the output of other states will
be, we will not undertake to predict.
Twenty states east of the Rockies are
we'll adapted to apple production. 1t
is, moreover, fact that Missouri,
Michigan, Ohio and New York each
contribute an output approximately
in bulk that of the Pacific Northwest.
1t would, therefore, seem unwal ranted
for us to assume that Eastern apple
production is now, or is likely ever to
be, negligible factor. On the con-
trary, there seems little reason to
expect that Eastern states, except
those bordering on the Gulf, will
afford us any considerable market
for other than our fanciest packs.
The great bulk of apple consump
tion will be of second grade fruit

mems from the standpoint of greater
economy. Aided by these condi-
tions, it will not be difficult to con-
vince the general public that good
apples are just as good, whether de-
livered in a bushel measure or in a
packed box; whether their color be
red, yellow or green. This view is
fortified by the advice of our Consul

want, or can be taught to want, apples

people" should be our motto. We
shall find that their aggregate purse
is long. They are in a receptive
mood on this subject. They are

how to reduce the cost of living.

sumption there during the season of
5000 barrels of apples. He also says
"a large outlet might be found here
for second grade Pacific Coast apples;
in fact the market will consume a
larger amount of the second grade,
and at more satisfactory price,
AS further evidence of the public
mood in this matter, and as an indi-
cation of an opportunity open to us,
we may refer to the consumers
leagues springing up throughout the
country. In Wisconsin the governor,
the university and the State Board OF
Public Works, have undertaken TO
solve the problem of cost of living,
by inducing cooperation between
producers and consumers. Why
should we ignore such organizations?
Why rather should not the consumer
and producer be urged to get together
IN matter of so much Importance to
both? In the interest then of reduced
cost of living, and of great consump-
tion, let US abandon purely artistic
ideals of grading and packing, based
on equipments of the show windows
and the exhibition booth, and let us
make a resolute and prolonged effort
to meet the public need.
The United States government is
making an Investment of 1876, OOO,-

investment is of great significance to
