 Produce Pirate, deftly light- 

 ing a monogranimed Turkish 

 cigarette with his right, 

 gracefully bent over to the 

 buzzer,aud with his carefully 

 manicured left rang for a 

 messenger boy. 



A moment before, his pri- 

 vate secretary. Miss Keys, 

 had laid a thick swad of tel- 

 egrams on his glistening ma- 

 hogany desk. 



"Ah, hah!" said B. S. (for 

 thus shall we refer to the vil- 

 lain in tlie future) — "Ah, 

 hah!" repeated B. S., as he 

 inhaled a fragrant draught 

 from his privately mouo- 

 granimed cigarette — "Today 

 I make a killing."

 exciting story will be fur-

of grade and pack for every Ncirthwest- 

 eni district tlie live-box awards will be 

 made not only on the basis of the most 

 perfect fruit, but on the skill with 

 which the different styles of packing 

 arc illuustrated. In scoring the judges 

 will emphasize the ability with which 

 the various packs are exemplified. 

 While the by-products proposition has 

 been at a standstill since the Kurojiean 

 war began, making it more profitable to 

 sell fresh fruit, that condition seems 

 now to be passing, and the by-products 

 features of the apple show promise to 

 make a live subject. This will be dis- 

 cussed in the conference November 2(1." 



Land Show in Portland Opens Soon 

 October 25 will witness the opening 

 in Portland of the second annual Man- 

 ufacturers' and Land Products Show. 

 The exposition will be in progress until 

 midnight, November 13, and each day 

 will offer a special feature, event or 

 program in which some city, town or 

 community of the Northwest will take 

 part. The exhibition is intended to 

 show the whole of the Noi-thwest under 

 one great roof. More than 7.5,(1(10 scpiare 

 feet will be devoted to exhibit space, 

 and Oregon, Washington and Idaho 

 counties and connnunitics have been 

 invited to take part. The management 

 of the exposition is this year giving 

 free space to land products displays 

 and a grand prize is to be given for the 

 best county exhibit. 



Portland's Chamber of Commerce 

 presents the exposition, and the direc- 

 tors of the show have been named by 

 the Industries and Manufacturers' and 

 the Oregon Development Bureaus, two 

 of the most important in the work of 

 the organization. Exhibits from the 

 field, forest, factory and stream will be 

 arranged in an attractive manner, and 

 visitors will be given a tiuthful pre- 

 sentation of the agricultural, industrial 

 and horticultural greatness of the 

 Northwest. The exposition is open to 

 exhibitors from the entire Pacific Coast. 

 The exposition in Portland comes at a 

 time of the year when the state and 

 county fairs are over and this assures 

 an excellent disijlay of exhibits of all 

 kinds in the Oregon metropolis. Con- 

 sumer and producer will meet at the 

 exposition, new markets will have a 

 wider knowledge of what the North- 

 west ])roduces. It will also present in 

 a truthful manner the exact opportuni- 

 ties for homeseekers. It is intended 

 that the exposition will prove an ideal 

 medium to advertise many connnodities 

 to demonstrate and jjrove be\(ind (|ues- 

 tion of doubt that the Pacific North- 

 west has many possibilities as a great 

 manufacturing and industrial center. 



Leading manufacturers of the North- 

 west assert the industries of the coun- 

 try are becoming better known each 

 year as a result of the activities of the 

 managers of the various concerns to 

 acciuaint the people with the articles 

 that are produced here. In no better 

 way can the manufacturer show to ad- 

 vantage wliat he realh- makes than by 

 a comprehensive exhibit at expositions 

 like the Manufacturers' and Land Prod-
