12 THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, APKTL T7C, XifiO. BIG OREGON FRUIT CROP PREDICTED President Newell, of Horticul ture Board, Finds State's Trees Thriving. ANNUAL REPORT IS READ l"ine March Weather Gave Orchard Ists Chance to Make Up for Win ter Hardships Organization by Growers Commended. That this year's fruit crop of every variety will be big. is the opinion of W. K. Newell, of Gaston, president of the State Board of Horticulture. This belief was advanced by President New ell in his report at yesterday's semi annual meeting of the State Board in the Henry building. president Newell declares the fruit producing communities of the state are organizing their societies for the bet ter tale of their products. He also reports more thorough and scientific raising of fruit in general than here tofore. The reports of Judd Geer, of Cove, and A- H. Carson, of Grants Pass, of the fifth and third districts, respect ively, are in keeping ith that of Pres ident Newell. The three other commis sioners M. O. Lownsdale, of Lafay ette; c. A. Park, of Salem, and R. H. Weber, of The Dalles will submit their reports later. All, however, ver bally reported crop prospects of their several districts to be better than for years. The splendid weather through out March gave the fruit men an op portunity to get their trees and vines In shape, despite the Tlgorous Winter, they said. Trees Spell Prosperity. President Newell's report in full Is: Once more has the time arrived for taking account of fruit crop proBpects and con ditions. Judging- from the looks of the trees In those parts of the state which I have been able to vlsrt this Sprlnsr. it we have favorable weather all through bloom ing: time, we will surely have a bountiful crop 'of tnMt all kinds of fruit this year. "Whether such hopes are well grounded or not, I believe the impression exists in most all of the fruitgrowing sections of the coun try that this year Is to be a year of big fruit crops. Each succeeding year in Ores-on shows better general care of the orchards, and though the past Winter was a very diffi cult one in which to accomplish the usual Winter work, it was compensated for by the beautiful month of March which allowed 1 he work to be brought up to date. In many sections the blooming season Is noarly over for the early fruits. in others it i just at hand, and with no reports of in Jury or damage of any kind aa yet. t Many Growers Organize. A noticeable feature of the past Winter liaa been the great number of fruitgrowers' organizations that) have been formed. Al most every community In which there ! any activity of orchard-planting now has Its association. Many of them will have but a small amount of fruit to market for a year or two, but they will do splendid work In having uniform methods of planting adopt ed. In guiding their members in the selec tion of proper varieties and In the purchase of all kinds of supplies. And of even more Importance than any of these, they will learn the habits of working together and nf subordinating their individual preferences to the will of the majority. The year 1909 marked the beginning of what I believe will grow to be a great In dustry, and that in the production of grape juice on a commercial scale. Th Concord Krape Is superior to all others for the pro duction of fine Juice and this grape suc ceeds admirably on the foothills of Western Oregon. Five thousand gallons of this Juice that Is the equal of anything on the market Is Just now being bottled and. distributed to the trade, and la meeting with a ready ale. Market Only Question. This company paid from $35 to $40 a ton last season for the grapes and they tell me that they can pay $35 the coming season and for the future if other conditions are not materially different. The graile industry has been slow of development because of the lack of certain market; the local markets were easily overstocked, and other markets could not be reached, but with a certain market and at an attractive price, the in dustry v-IU grow rapidly and can be in creased enormously. The matter of federaJ legislation relating to the apple Indus-try has attracted our at tention during the past Win ter, and from present Indications will need further atten tion before the case Is finally settled. The I .a f can bill, which baa been before Con gress the present session, seeks to accom plish two main objects; to standardize the packages used in interstate commerce, and to standardize the system of grading and marketing the fruit. The reason for the agitation in this direction is that there has been confusion the markets from ihe use of four different styles of barrets in the Eastern States, and from the use of one size of box In Colorado and another from the Pacific Northwest and California. Abso lute lack of any rules of grading whatever in the average Eastern barrel-packed fruit also caused discussion. Object laudable. Bill Weak. The object sought to be obtained by the supporter of the bill, who are principally the commission dealer and retail grocery men of the Eastern cit les, are laudable, but It seems very improbable that the bill, if passed and enforced, would accomplish the results desired. So objectionable were the terms of the bill to the grower of the North west that It was found necessary to send rep resentatives to Washington to protest against It. C. K. Whisler. of Medford; J. A. Wil son, of Hood River, and myself represented Oregon and U B. Monroe, of Spokane, and J. A . Tlchenal, of Wenatchee. appeared for Washington. The standard apple box provided in this bill contains 2342 cubto inches, which is 170 inches more than our present box contains; the contention being that our box does not contain a full bushel, or, aji the retailer puts It. It will not measure out four heaped, pecks such as he must deliver when h sells by the peck or half peck. This is a very Important point, as we found on careful Investigation !tf the markets of all the cities which we were able to visit, that our apples were being diwrrlmlnated against to a marked degree on this account. Own Boxes Poor Example. While we were able to demonstrate to the full satisfaction of the committee on agri culture, before whom the hearing was held, that our box when packed honestly and care fully would measure out four heaped pecks, ret we were unable to find any boxes on the regular market at Washington that would measure full quantity. This wu the weakest point In our opposition to the bill and it was eery m ort i fy 1 ng to ha ve It ca used by the carelessness of our own growers. There has been very general com plant from the dealers and consumers In the Eastern markets that our fruit this year was not up to the standard, either in pack or quality. Wa et so high a standard in former years and s?cisd such splendid prices on account of ft that even a slight failing off Is very noticeable and brings a strong protest. Careful Investi gation showed us that this complaint was justified to a large extent. T wish to urge as strongly as possible upon our growers that such a policy will not do. that It will be suicidal. Only fruit of high quality and ab solutely honest pack can be marketed success fully against the strong competition to be met In the KaUfm market. Fruit Men Thanked. We were much indebted to M. O. Lowns dale and to the Hood River and Wenatchee fruit unions for the boxes of splendid apples which they so kindly donated for our use in demonstrating to the committee on asnicul ture. The committee members appreciated them also. I am In receipt of a splendid report on Kuropmn market conditions, from our Consul at Belfast, H. B. Miller, which I submit herewith. This will be given as full pub licity a jKMMibi tnxuugb. that fixaaa wi( be published in full In our next biennial" re port. There are many points in it of the greatest interest to us. The demand in those market for pears is surprising and we must find the varieties that will be bet suited for shipping over there. With the completion of the Pan ama Canal we will be able to load refrigera tor steamers at Portland and land our fruits In any European market at very low rates. Prune Shippers Careless. While in New Tork and Chicago I had op portunity to Inquire regarding the shipments of green prunes that were made last year from the W 1 1 lamet te Va I ley . W hi le prunes have been shipped green every year from Mosier, The Dalles, Milton, Cove and the Snake River country la&t year was the first for Western Oregon. While the returns in most cases were fairly satisfactory, they were not nearly so good as for the regions above mentioned. The reason reemed. entirely in the manner In which the fruit was packed: there was not sufficient care given to the matter of grading and packing, and strong, complaint was made of the way in which the natural bloom was rubbed off the fruit, thus spoiling its beauty. With proper care we can without doubt market a fair share of our prunes every year in the fresh state, getting larger returns and relieving greatly the rush of the drying season. SHEEPMEN ARE SATISFIED State Commission Reorganized and Xew Member Added. Made necessary by the appointment of Herbert Boylen. of Pendleton, to succeed Dan P. Smythe, of the same city, a re organization of the State Sheep Commis sion was perfected in Portland yesterday. W. K. TVevrell, President State Board of Horticulture, Who Predicts Bumper Fruit Crop. Charles Cleveland, of Gresham. was made president, and Herbert Boylan secre tary. The offices of th Commission will continue at Pendleton. Others In atten dance at the session were A. L. Mcintosh, of Paulina, and W. H. Lytle. of Pendleton.- "There was little business for the Sheep Commission to transact said State Sheep Inspector Lytle, a member of the board. "Sheepmen are so busy and so prosperous that they haven' t time to look for trouble. The two and a half million sheep owned In Oregon came through the winter and the lamb ing season In splendid shape, the losses being but very little more than normal. In the southern part of the state a few bands which were without feed, except the browse of. the range, may have had a 10 per cent loss. 'With the quarantine removed east of the Cascades and scabbles eradicated, with the exception of two bands, wool selling at 20 cents a pound on an aver age and the market price of mutton keeping pace with the advance along other lines of food products, the sheep owners of this state look for a great year In 1910. The only scab left in the state is found in a flock of 2000 located in Harney County and another of similar size in Malheur County. "Colorado pea feeders will call for a large number of lambs this Fall and it is probable that Oiey will be required to pay from $3 to $4 per head. PERSONALJVIENTION. T. C.

I - s BHDNN IS ACCUSER Wholesale Liquor Dealer Says Some Confreres Retail. NAMES ARE NOT DIVULGED Merchant Tells License Committee Establishments Paying One Tax Cse Two !Privi leges He Refuses to Tell More. A question of ethics has arisen among the liquor dealers. The whole salers especially are interested, Isaac Brunn, of Brunn & Co., wholesale and retail merchants at 140 First street, having made rather startling- declara tions before the liquor license commit tee of the Council yesterday. He said that, while he is forced to pay $800 retail and ?400 wholesale lrcenses, oth ers" having nothing but the. wholesale li cense are retailing-. "Who are they?" asked Councilman Cellars. "I refuse to answer that," replied Mr. Brunn. "How is the committee to know, un less you inform the members?" he was asked. "I think that the committee can soon find out, just as well as I have found it out," was his reply. "You can -go down the street and you will see cards in their windows, offering" half-pints, pints and quarts ; you don't need to have me tell you any more, do you? I will not be a stool pigeon for the city, but I want justice and a fair deal; I don't care how much the license is, if all are treated alike, but I don't like to be sing-led out and made to pay both licenses when others pay for but one and use the rights of both." Xaraes Xot Divulged. All efforts of members of the com mittee to secure from Mr. Brunn some intimation of the locations of alleged violators of the ordinance governing such subjects, proved futile. Assistant City Attorney Grant tried to persuade him that it is as much the duty of Mr. Brunn to Inform on violators of the law, as it Is of anyone else, but he refused to do so. "There is no question but that, if any wholesaler is selling at retail on his wholesale license, he should be stopped at once," said Mr. Cellars. While Mr. Brunn said he was the only "genuine wholesaler,' in the li quor business in Portland, this was challenged by License Inspector Hutch inson, who called attention to others, and who also said that Mr. Brunn was compelled to take out both licenses by the Auditor's office. It was intimated that he had sold at retail, also, under wholesale license, but he . denied ever having any trouble, and said he had al ways borne a high reputation as a clean dealer, and had never been before the committee on any complaint, neither had he been In the courts. Point of Ethics Raised. Mr. Brunn's attitude as to informing on alleged violators of the ordinance governing the sale of liquor raised a new question for consideration of the committee as to the ethics of the li quor business. Whether it is proper for one dealer to inform against another is the point at issue. N-llr. Brunn thinks not, but he would like to have the alleged offenders ferreted out by some one else, but the Council com mittee declined to act. "Louie" Trummer, local distributing agent" for a certain brand of beer was "on the carpet," too. He had been cited to show cause why he should not pay a wholesaler's license. He was repre sented by counsel, but did all of the talking himself, except a little as to the law. He declared that there Is a great difference between his business and that of a wholesaler. "I simply distribute this beer," said Trummer. ''I handle beer only. T. am a malt dealer. The Government makes the distinction why doesn't the Coun cil? "I can't tell you that," replied Chair man Wallace, "but I know the City Attorney rules that you are a whole saler, and that's all there is to it." "Well, I won't pay it," retorted Trummer. "Then you will be arrested," was Mr. Wallace's reply. The committee refused to grant a license to L. E. Bailey to sell liquor with meals at 542 Washington street. DANCE LICENSE REFUSED Mr. Iri9coll Wants o More "Poor Tevils" Put Out of Business. "They put one poor devil out of busi ness and I won't sign any licenses for any others." said Councilman Driscoll, chairman of the license committee, when the representative of the Casino dance hall appeared and asked for a license. The majority of the committee members 'stood pat" and refused to grant the coveted license. This means the closing of another one of the public establish ments, against which the police have made numerous complaints. The "poor devil" referred to by Coun cilman Driscoll was the proprietor of the late lamented Maple Dancing Pavilion, where the famed "turkey trot," "the Glide" and the "Rag" were executed by the festive dancers under the shimmering light of an artificial moon hung In the roof for the occasion. The police con ceived the idea that the place was de trimental to the high standard of morals usually demanded of the citizens of the municipality, and proceeded to make complaint. Councilman Driscoll and his colleagues of the license committee endeavored to "file" the police complaints and let it go at that, but a moral wave struck the majority of the councilmen on the fate ful day when the report was read In Council session, and the Maple's license was canceled. Since then Mr. Driscoll has "stood pat" against the issuance of any more licenses, feeling within himself, he says, that all "poor devils" should be treated exactly alike. WOMAN SCORES PORTLAND Cheap Lodging-Houses and City Jail Arraigned by Mrs. Ella Lynch. Mrs. Ella Erim Lynch spoke Sunday night at SelUnir-Hirsch Hall, on "Portland by Nlsht," telling of her experiences in midnight visits to the City Jail and cheap lodging-houses where the unfor tunate and destitute were herded in mis erable and unsanitary quarters. She compared them with the comfortable and healthy accommodations provided in New Tork for the "down and out." Dr. David Buchanan, in his address on "London. Day and Night," said that London was 54 times as large as Port land, had 100.000 paupers and 100.000 dis orderly women; declared that the cause of this was the private ownership of land, which drove the people Into eucb. close quarters. Early marriages . and the demon of rum also contributed to these dreadful conditions. Dr. Buchanan insists that if anything is ever to be done for mankind it must be done now. He spoke of the splendid work accomplished by the Salvation Army and' said that efforts to promote civic righteousness could not fall but prove helpful to the individuals engaged therein even though ideal conditions were slow of realization. CHURCH PAYS DEBT IN DAY Mount Tabor Methodists Kaise $7 04)0 and Dedicate Structure. Prior to the dedication Sunday of the beautiful new Mount Tabor Metho dist Church, Kast Stark and East Sixty first streets, $7000 was subscribed so that the new edifice might be dedicated free of debt. Nearly 96000 was subscribed at the morning services within a short time after the sermon by Rev. Fletcher Homan, president of Willamette Uni versity. Rev. "W. B. Hollingshead, district su perintendent, was in charge of the serv ices, and the auditorium was filled to its utmost capacity. Rev. S. E. Memin ger, a former pastor, delivered the in vocation, and Rev. J. W. McDougall, the pastor, read the scripture. Rev. Mr. MOTHKR OF EX-BATTALION C HIEF L. C HOLDER DIES AT PORTLAND. Mrs. lone Shute. Airs, lone S. Shute, mother of ex-Battalion Chief L. G. Holden, now of Mount Hood district, died yesterday at the family home, East Sixth and Kast. Mill streets, after an illness of four years. Stricken with paralysis four . years ago Mrs. Shute never re grained her health. She was 69 years of age and had been a res ident of Portland for 30 years, living in the same house in Stephen's Addition. Her hus band, J. L. Shute, died several years ago. She is survived by a son and daughter, L. G. Holden, of Mount Hood district, and Mrs. E. B. Ayers, of Flag staff, Arizona. The funeral will be held on the arrival of Mrs. Ayers. McDougall read a financial statement, showing that $10,000 had been expended and that $7000 was needed. Beginning with $100 and ending with $5. subscrip tions quickly amounted to nearly $6000. A platform meeting was held in the afternoon. Robert A. Booth, president of the Laymen's Association of Oregon, presided. Short talks were made by W. D. Fenton, G. F. Johnson, T. S. Mc Daniel, B. Lee Paget, J. D. Lee and others. The remainder of the amount needed to clear the church of debt was raised, and the dedication ceremony was performed by Rev. W. B. Hollingshead. At the evening service. Rev. Dr. H. D. Kimball, dean of the college of theology of Willamette University, delivered the sermon. The new church is considered a model of beauty and convenience. It will seat more than 700. A beautiful pipe organ was used yesterday for the first time. Miss Helen L. Francis is organist; T. D. Allen, choir director, and Miss Myrl Al len, soloist. J. W. McDougall, L. S. Normandtn, R. J. Ginn and C. C. Miller composed the building committee. The new church takes the place of a. pioneer church erected many years ago. PASTOR OPPOSES SHOUTING Rev. Ii. C. Poor Talks Against Sen sationalism in Pulpits. . Rev. L. C. Poor, of the Sellwood Methodist Church, delivered an address before the Methodist Ministerial Asso ciation yesterday morning on ''Irrever ence and Exaggeration." Contrary to the views of B. P. Stout, the singing evangelist, who recently drew great crowds to the Taylor-street church, Mr. Poor does not believe in shouting- during service. During one of Mr. Stout's services he urged his hearers to express themselves with a hearty "amen," if they felt so inclined, saying he did not hear as much of that sort of thing as he used to. In his address yesterday Mr. Poor said: "LacIc of form In the service may give rise to Irreverence. The shouting of "allelua' may denote spirituality, but should not be encouraged. Then there are those who come to hear and not to worship. We must try to make them come to worship, not to listen to a man preach or to a choir sing. ?r If they only come as hearers they will soon tire of the performance and will begin to criticise. "Some men say that the witty or sensational pulpit is the only one that pays. It may pay in silver or In pop ularity, but no man should stand In a pulpit and say foolish things. There Is no strength in this preaching nor does it comfort the sorrows of life. "Another thing that should be dis couraged Is the habit of speaking of divine things In a flippant way or tone. Some preachers do this and It naturally gives a bad Impression to those whom he would want to Impress." Dr. J. H. Cudllpp thought a preacher ought not to go about the street wear ing a green or red necktie. Snow Deep at Crater Lake. KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. April 11. (Spe cial.) W. P. Finney and Thomas Boosey, of Fort Klamath, are the first to make the trip to Crater Lake this season. They have just returned, making the trip on snow shoes. They state that the snow is about 10 feet deep at the Government buildings, three miles below the rim of the lake, and is considerable deeper at the top. The Government buildings and those at the Steel camp were found in good condition, with no damage done by the snow. The snow is melting rapidly and indications point to an early opening of travel to the lake. Buggy Struck by Albany Car. ALBANY, Or., April 11. Special.)

POOR FARM TITLE MIXED County Court in Quandary to Whom Deed Should Go. The County Court is in a quandary, for it has not yet made up its mind whether to give W. A. Spanton title to the old County Poor farm on the C-nyon Road, whether to deed It to the United States Trust Company, or whether to deed 40 per cent of it to B. M. Lombard. It appears that Spanton, after bidding upon the property, transferred his Inter est to the United States Trust Company, which now lays claim to the entire tract. Lombard asserts that an agreement was made by which he has a right to 40 per cent of the farm, as he put up part of the money to make the first payment. Coun ty Judge Cleeton said yesterday the County Court would not wait for the de cision of the Circuit Court in the case of Iombard against Spanton and It. A. Reynolds, but would, as soon as a deci sion is reached among the commissioners, give deed to the property. Circuit Judge Bronaugh recently decid ed in the case of Frank Bollam against the County Court that the commissioners are legally qualified to give a valid deed to the land, that there was nothing to show they had acted colluslvely to de fraud the county. NEW CHAPEL DEDICATED United Brethren Erect Building, Later to Be Used as Manse. The chapel of the South Mount Ta bor United Brethren Church was dedi cated Sunday afternoon, the services being" in charge of Rev. H. C. Shaffer, general superintendent of the district of Portland. The dedicatory sermon was delivered by Rev. E. B. Emerich, pastor of the Second Unite"d Brethren Church. Alberta, and a short talk was made by Dr. Hamilton Meade, president of the South Mount Tabor Push Club. Dr. Meade commended the erection of the chapel and expressed the hope that a modern church would soon be built. Mrs. W. M. Gates, president of the Mothers-Teachers' Association of South Mount Tabor, made a short address. Greetings were brought by Rev. R. S. Showers, pastor of the First Church, and other pastors. The chapel will be used until a modern church can be built, when It -will then be used as a manse. Two Malls Daily of Eagle Point. MEDFORD, Or., April 11. (Special.)
