SfQNE IS CONFI-
\DENT OF SUCCESS

While the hearing Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission of the argu-
ments Of apple shipping concerns and
representatives Of growers against the
petition of railway companies for a Is
per cent increase in fruit freight rates
has been postponed from next Monday
to some indefinite time in the future,
A. w. Stone, who was appointed as
delegate to represent the growers OF
Oregon, says that full and adequate
data is being prepared for presentation
to the Commission when growers are
eventually called to appear.
Judge Frank Reeves, of Wenatchee,
was appointed to attend the Interstate
Commission hearing as a representative
Of Washington apple growers.
I'VE also want man from Idaho"
says Mr.. Stone. 81 feel confident that
we are going to win our case. Indeed,
the granting of the railway company's
prayer would be a most serious blow for
the northwestern fruit business. At
the present time we are in need Of all
the encouragement we can get. Labor
is getting scarce and high. The cost
of spray materials has advanced until
the expense of keeping orchards free
from disease is heavy. Our markets
have been limited by the war. 1t is
true that we are getting off fairly well
this season because Of short crop. All
indications point to bumper yield
next season, and we cannot forsee to
what state the apple market may be
brought.
"But we of northwestern apple dis
tricts, where the growing of perfect
fruit is our chief occupation, whatever
the fruitgrower Of other parts of the
country may do in neglecting his orch
ard, we must go right ahead and keep
our orchards free from disease, what
ever the cost. AS result of the war,
the orchards of Europe are being neg
lected. In the east, where apple grow
ing is merely side line, growers are
not going to give their trees any care.
when the cost of such care amounts to
so high a figure. If we of the north
west can just stick it out we will reap
rich harvest when the war is over"

Campbell Back From East

Sam G. Campbell has just returned
from a tour of eastern and middle
western cities in the interest of the
Apple Growers Association. Mr.. Camp
bell says that all chief apple markets
are depressed badly just at the present
time by glut of inferior stock. He
thinks, however. that the market will
clear up when such product has been
consumed, and that first class apples
will bring fair prices later on in the
season.
Mr.. Campbell made the trip to New
York in charge of a special train of
rs box car loads of apples. The fruit
arrived at its destination in fine shape,
having been handled across the conti-
nent in 13a days.

Upon one Of his journeys during the
Antarctic expedition Sir Ernest Shack
Teton was obliged to reduce his lug
gage to the smallest possible amount.
He states that up to this point the
Bible given by Queen Alexandra to the
ships library (provided by the British
and Foreign Sailors society had been
carried with the party. In leaving
other things behind It was decided
with reluctance that this also must
be abandoned.
Az the Bible contained on its hyleaf
message written by Queen Alexan-
dra. the dyleaf was cut out. also the
pages containing the Twenty third
psalm and the chapter in the Book of
Job which speaks. Of the sea being fro
zen. These three pages were carried
to the end Of the journey and brought
back to this country.
Sir Ernest has promised to present
the three pages to the society to be

London, Dec. 12.-The Italians in a
daring night raid regained several i'm
portant positions they lost on the
lower Piave.
From Ypres to Cambria on the
British front and from st. Quentin to
the Switzerland frontier on the French
line giant cannon are roaring in what
is believed to be the opening chapter
in one of the most stupendous strug-
giles of the war. While the Germans
have been expected to launch their
great offensive in the west for several
days, it was not announced until last
night that the British also had drawn
up great forces for monster stroke.
For the first time during the war the
Austrians are expected to play an i'm
portant part in the west front opera
tions. Many divisions, released from
the eastern front. have arrived in the
west to support the Hindenburg
troops. The French, who have been
engaged In artillery duels with the
Crown Princes army for severai
weeks. also have drawn up new troops
around Verdun and are ready to meet
the attack, the scene Of which cannot
be determined. as the great guns are
in action all along the big fronts.
