APPLE ESTIMATES
SHOW DECREASE

Every letter and telegram &C loes'
fruit market men brings information
ON which to base brighter outlook Tor
the prospects of the northwestern apple
grower for the coming season. The
eastern crop is constantly dwindling
and the quality will perhaps be poorer
than has been estimated. Colorado has
been reported TO have had full crop.
However, Mr.. Sieg, when he returned
from there several weeks ago, declare
that the crop was over estimated. a. S
opinion was confirmed last week when
a telegram was received from X. T..
I.0gmis, who stated that the crop wclld
not be more than so per cent. The
apples are being ruined by worms, "
said Mr. Loomis in his message. land
the northwestern fruit man has very
bright propects; for the eastern crop,
from reports that | have just had, Is
deteTiOrating.
Mr.. Sieg thinks that the local crop
will not be much more than 500, coo
boxes of commercial fruit, but little
more than a half of last years crop.
lie again urges that the northwestern
districts form further cooperation
among themselves. for they need not
fear the competition of the eastern dis
tricts. THE northwestern districts are
going 20 fare mighty we'll, " said Mr.
Sieg, "if they don't destroy their pros
poets by competing among themselves.

LIBRARY NOTES

AT the recent meeting of the library
board it was decided to begin local
history collection to be kept in the IL
brary building. All those interested in
such an undertaking are urgently re-
quested to cooperate with the librarian
and the library board. The library is
emlnently the place for such collec-
tlon. Everything of local nature will
be collected and preserved - church
programs, special lodge meetings, any
thing of pioneer days, in fact anything
that will be of interest so years from
now. All material will be classified
and cataloged and put in a special IL
brary known as the Local History Col
lection. Along with this idea it is
planned to have Pioneer Album -
photographs of the early pioneers and
settlers. Will those who have books.
pamphlets, or material for exhibit
kindly send them to the library?
Applications for apprentices in the
library will be received by the librari-
an. According to the regulations
adopted by the board the applicant
must have had high school education
or its equivalent, must be between the
ages of i and 35, good health and per-
sonality considered. The term of ap-
premiership has been reduced to three
months. During this time the appren-
tice receives no compensation but is
instructed in the regular library work
with practical experience and course
in sociology, literature and history is
also followed. At the end of the three
months she is put on the waiting list
for the first paid position she is able to
fill. This is splendid opportunity for
some young woman of culture and edu-
cation, for libraranship is fast taking
Its place with other professions which
are open to those specially prepared
for the work. A list of the several IL
brary schools with the entrance re-
quirements and the length of course
may be found at the library.
This week the librarian is visiting
the several grades of the city schools
suggesting books of interest for each
and leaving type written list with
each teacher. There is splendid COOP
Grafton between the schools and the
library, and both teachers and librar-
IAN are working toward higher
standard of reading among the pupils
OF the schools. The best is none too
good for our boys and girls and with
that idea in mind. in each book order
are included excellent illustrated edi-
tions of the best books for children.
1t should be said to the credit of the
boys and girls that they are taking
much better care of books than when
the library was first opened. Having
clean new books for their use in the
school will be an incentive to better
| care of all hooks.

ORIENT USES MUCH
AMERICAN LUMBER

Recent statistics indicate marked
increase in exports of lumber from the
United States to the Orient. More than
a quarter of million feet Of American
woods are reported as being used in
Samoa, Hawaii and the Philippine Is
lands.
Heretofore, it is said, raw materials
have been made up into finished arti-
cles in the United States, almost with
out exception, and exported as such.
With the discovery by American manu-
facturers in the Philippines that they
could import United States woods and
make them up with profit there. wood
using factories were built. Pacific
coast woods, in consequence, are in
many cases taking the place Of the ma
tive woods with such picturesque
names as apitong, teak, nara and
yacal.
Douglas fir, according to the apfor-
nation collected by the forest service,
is the principal wood exported from
this country. 1t is said to be the ia
vorite wood among insular manufactur-
ers for flooring ceiling, siding, cor
nice. shelving, finish. and boat work.
Makers of furniture demand California
redwood and sugar pinea southern quar-
ter-sawed oak. eastern ash, sugar

Four woods, principally conifers, and
oaks. go into the construction of boats /;
for framing parts, masts, spars, inter
ior trim, planking. boat crooks and
tiller handles. Meat blocks are made
from sugar maple, which with syca-
more supplies the entire demand i8 the
United States. Wagon felloes are
made of white oak, and other parts of
vehicles are manufactured from high
grades of white ash and white oak.

Can dog respond to a tauntf A
Vermont dog. which was growing old,
was In barn one day with his mas
ter. The two were up In a haymow,
from which sloping ladder led down
to the barn floor The master walked
down the ladder, but the dog went
around another way.
When the animal reached the barn
floor his master said tauntingly: "Pooi
old fellowl Daren't walk down the
ladder any more!'
Whereupon the dog. with a quick
glance at his master, walked clear up
the ladder to the top, and then turned
round and walked down 1t again. The
proceeding looked very much like a
deliberate demonstration on the dogs
part to prove to his master that he was
still capable of walking up and down
a slantlng ladder. Louis Globe

VETERAN WRITES OF
GETTYSBURG REUNION

That the ranks of the veterans of the
Civil war are fast thinning is notice
able at each succeeding reunion. Fred
Dietz, who was at Rochester, N. y,
two years ago for the national encamp-
ment of the G. A. R., says that there
were 35 members of his old regiment
present, while at the recent Gettysburg
reunion but a scant dozen answered the
roll call.
Mr.. Deitz has just received the fol-
lowing interesting letter from his old
comrade, j. M. Parry, postmaster OF
Moro, the epistle written on sheets of
red, white and blue paper:
I'VE reached Gettysburg Sunday

went through without change of cars,

noon | started out to find some COM
rades of Battery L. After hunting
through the New York camp for time
| found Morse, and after time he
went with me over to the cemetery.
There we found John Conn's grave.
That was the only one we did find. |
had taken with me the leaves from the
roses given me before leaving Portland
and we left some on his grave and used
the rest on the Unknown. We then
went across the Baltimore Pike over to
where we were during the second and
third days. Four of our guns were
there in position as we had them then.
None on the north side of the stone
wall, as that lot is private property.

turned to his tent and | went down

hour and as there was to be reunion

camp, got my supper and about 8

your brothers. one from Buffalo and
the other from North Dakota, Hook

ant time. did some business and had a
general talk. You, of course. know
that Capt. G. H. Reynolds died about
year since. | was able to tell some
thing that either had been forgotten or
else not noticed at the time by those
present, viz: the little speech that Gil
bert made after he was wounded the
first day. 1t pleased John. ! told them
about your being in Portland and OF
your being unable to come. They all
expressed their regrets and wished tC

The opening of the grouse season and
the near approach of the goose season,
which opens the fifteenth of this
month, is causing local hunters to oil
up their firearms and seek the haunts
of the birds.

falling will drive the deer into the pro-
tected coves and burns in the remote
districts and hunters will soon be re-
turning with nice bags of venson.
A bear is reported almost every day
now. w. H. Harmon, Joe Lybarger
and Charles Eyer were in the wild
country at the base of Mount Defiance
last week, when they encountered a
large she bear and two cubs. Mr..
Harmon, who is crack shot and who
secures his quota of bear meat and
venison every year. shot bruin at once.
A few steps further away the hunters
found two cubs and these, which were
about six months old, were shot, one
of them by Mr.. Harmon and the other
by MIR. Eyer. The hunters declare
and that but few hunters penetrate the
district.
