P. P. |. E. Notes
(From Oregon Commission Bullet

From oregon commission Bulletln)
The Oregon building now boasts the
most remarkable apple exhibit on the
exposition grounds-a three box dis
play of Newtown Pippins from the
crops of as many years: Beside box
of the 1915 crop stands another of the
1914 crop, and beside that is a third
box of the 1918 crop. Except for the
fact that the 1914 apples are yellow, as
matter of course, there is little or
no difference between these and this
years apples. The box of fruit picked
in 1918 is very deep yellow and is not
far from decay, but these apples take.
a splendid polish and are not discredit-
able beside the others. This display
occupying a special position and.prop-
erly placarded is made by H. 0. Fro
bach, of the southern Oregon booth,
and attracts great deal of attention.
The keeping quality of Oregon apples
has been impressed upon visitors thor
oughly during this fair, placards telling
just how long fruit has been on display.
While California experts change the
fruit in their exhibits every three or
four weeks, Oregon's representatives
find it unnecessary to make change
under 10 weeks and in many instances
boxes of apples are kept on display
four months.
Fifty boxes of Spiteznburg apples
from Ashland. so from Medford, so
from the Willamette valley, so from
Hood River and so from eastern Ore
gon placed on display in the Oregon
building, were on November Is given
to the thousands attracted bylOregon
apple day.
The real display of Oregon apples at
this time is that in the Palace of Hort
iculture, this being comprised of the
100 boxes sent for competitive pur-
poses. These apples come wholly from
Hood River and Rogue River valleys
and are the finest these famed sections
can produce. More than 80 varieties are
represented, and the display, just now
being finished for judgment by theijury
of awards is beautiful beyond compare.
Oregon hasa .larger number of COM
petitive entries than any other state
and there is confidence that the jury
will find that Oregon has the finest
fruit being shown at the exposition.
The display is set in the center of the
Oregon pavilion at the Palace of Hort
iculture, cannot be passed by the thou
sands and will not be passed by any
who catch even glimpse, for it is one
of those displays that hold the atten-
tion and bring out those satisfying
tohs."

HANS LACE RECALLS
HOOD RIVER ARRIVAL

"I recaIlla snowfall just 40 years ago
that was this early" said Hans Lage.
pioneer honesteader of the East
Side, last Thursday. when discussing
the snowstorm that was prevailing
over the Hood River valley. MY
family and my wife's parents. Mr.. and
Mrs. Claus Hoeck. arrived at the Hood
River boat landing November IL. 1875.
1t was showing then.
"a flag was flying at the boat land
ing. 1t had been raised on the day
before at the time of the arrival of a
colony of settlers from Elmyra, N. T..
and points in Pennsylvania. We re-
mained a day or two in Hood River,
then a mere settlement, and walked,
after ferrying across the Columbia, to
Gilmer. Wash. where we were con-
templating settling. On the morning
of November Is the thermometer reg
istered a temperature of four degrees
below zero at Gilmer and three feet of
snow covered the ground.
In addition to his wife, Mr.. Lagos
family at the time of his arrival con-
sisted of two daughters, now matrons
of the Apple Valley, Mrs. W. P. Scobee
and Mrs. j. H. koberg, and son,
Henry Lage. The home place OF Mr..
Lage has always been conspicuous in
the East Side orchard district. While
neighbors planted all of their tillable
land to apple trees, portion OF the
I.age ranch was reserved for grain.
While the German pioneer, who came
here from Iowa. has engaged in the
orchard business, he has consistently
practiced diversified farming.
But three surviving members of the
Elmyra party now remain in Hood
River. They are: Mrs. Emma ingalls,
and her son, j. W. Ingalls,, and Chas.
Wallace, whose father. j. W. Wallace,
passed away last summer. A sister of
MIR. Wallace, Mrs. W. B. Perry, now
resides in California. But few of the
New York and Pennsylvania emigrants
remained in Hood River longer than to
stop over for the winter. As soon as
spring came they journeyed on down
the Columbia to the Willamette valley.
The late Lyman Smith, whose death
occurred last Wednesday at the home of
his son, Will Smith, in Portland, was a
member of the party.

COLUMBIA A. & M. CO.
PEOPLE OPTIMISTIC

Among the most optimistic citizens
of Hood River are ID. H. brewery and
Harry I. Dewitt, of the Columbia
Auto & Machine Co., both of whom are
expecting one of the best years the
valley has ever had in the automobile
business next year. The automobile
men are receiving many inquiries for
F0rds and Dodges. both of which have
proven very popular in the orchard dis
trict and with businessmen of the city.
''We are expecting a number of sales
at Cascade Locks" says MIR. brewery.
"The opening of the Columbia river
highway has been a great stimulus to
the people there. For years they have
been unable to reach the outside
world, except by train and boat.
Last week the Columbia Auto & Ma
chine Co. sold two second hand cars,
one Studebaker formerly owned by
E. R. Pooley. to John Smithson. an
employe of the Oregon-W ashington
Telephone Co. here, and the other, a
Ford runabout, to P. H. Holmes. of
Salem.
The Ford was shipped from here to
Portland. From that city it was driv-
en- to Salem by Mr.. brewery, who was
accompanied by his wife.

 FOR CONSPIRACY.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2O.-Henry Chandler, son-in-law of General Otis and a millionaire stocEman, has been indicted with six others by the federal grand jury on the charge of conspir- acy to invade Lower California, take it from the Mericans and open it for the free entry of cattle. The charge on which they have been indicted is that of conspiracy to violate the neu- trality of the United States.

How far the plans had proceeded is not yet known to the general public but the fact that the grand jury has secured sufficient evidence to hold them on the charge is taken as proof that the men were in real earnest.

 OPENED TODAY PRESIDENT SENDS WIRELESS MESSAGE BY PUSHING
 BUTTON.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 2O.-Prcsi- dent Wilson pushed button that sent the wireless message opening the Fan anna Exposition this morning A this dispatch is sent the Fair is in full swing and crowds are already vending their way out towards the grounds. In standardization to former expositionS the crowds at the beginning are not expected to be a large as the crowds coming in the following month and later because of the more favorable weather. The exposition may said to be fully completed but the completion of a few buildings Is still under way. Within a few weeks every sign of work is expected to be removed and this will be before the tourists begin to arrive from the east. The Euro pean war admittedly decreases the in. tensity of the celebrations that would otherwise have marked the opening but in spite of that drawback the Oc- casion has been a great one. Various estimates of the opening attendanceI of the first day have been made and they range from a quarter of a million to a far greater figure. Special trains are running from all around the bay and from neighboring cities and never did San Francisco present such bril- liant spectacle.
