8 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JANUARY 23, 1910. FRUIT GROWERS' UNION DISSOLVES f Old Hood River Organization '' Gives Way to Apple Men's l; Combine. WAS OLDEST. ON PACIFIC : Iir-olution Brought About to Turn All Krult Business Over to Lusty ' Sister I'nlon. Only After it Hani Content. HOOD RIVER, Or., Jan. 22. (Spe cial.) After a eun-essful career of 18 years the Hood Itiver Fruitgrowers' Union was dissolved today. The defunct organization originally .handled all the fruit at Hood Itiver. . but for several years has shipped the strawberries and sold fruits exclusive ly. It was the oldest on the Pacific , Coast. Its dissolution was brought about In ; order to turn all the fruit business han dled by organized growers over to Its lusty sister union conducted by the ap plegrowers. J The dissolution of the berry union 'was not accomplished without a strong 'fight In which the forces were evenly i matched, those In favor of dissolution 'finally winning by the small majority of four votes out of a total of 179. The property of the berry union, consisting of a warehouse. trac"kage site, office ' furniture and shipping outfit, will be ; turned over to the Applegrowers' Union ' for a fixed sum agreed on by a com mittee from the two unions. The shareholders will receive their pro rata share of the same and the parent union, which has been responsi ble for making Hood River fruits famous the world over, will be no more. It Is thought, that, with the large ware ' house and cold-storage plant which the Applegrowers" Union has recently com pleted, that the small fruits will be handled to better advantage to the growers. It is stated that the berrygrowers were influenced In voting to turn over the business to the larger union by the fact that the latter was preparing to ship berries this year whether it ab sorbed the smaller organisation or not. The Hood River Fruitgrowers' Union was organized In 1S93 and its incor porators were among the men who ' helped to organize the Northwest Frult ' growers' Association. The closing of its affairs was placed In the hands of E. N. Benson. K. II. Shepard, N. Tostevin. C. G. Metcalf and R. J. Mclsaac. the board Df directors.

Setting aside the wish of the Voters of the city, as expressed in the unofficial vote on election day on mu nicipal lighting, or what waa tinder itood to mean municipal ownership, and which was carried by a big majority, the new Council may enter into a eon tract with the Pacific Condensed Milk I'ompanj- of this city for the furnish ing of lights.

A representative of the company is to be here Monday to confer with the com mittee appointed by the City Council. i The Councilmen hold the opinion that ' If a contract can be made at a cheaper .' rate than that for which the city could operate its own plant, they are justified in entering into .a, contract. Before the contract is ratified it is pos sible that another expression by the voters may be asked. FARMERS WILL GET IDEAS Demonstration Train on Oregon Short Line to Boom Agriculture. ONTARIO. Or..

The strike in the Register office was precipitated by the employment of a 'non-union man and the fact that the office does not recognize the union further thuu to pay the scale and ac cept eight hours for a work day. There were 100 In attendance at the smoker last night, and as a discussion of the printers' strike It was stated by one of the printers this morning that a weekly paper would be started shortly by the striking printers to voice their cause and that of organized labor generally.

Spencer, of Koseburg, Takes Illghewt Place Possible (or Individual Debater. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugen", Ore.. Jan. 22. (Special.) For the first time in local college history a freshmiu carried off the highest honors a uni versity debater can receive, by winning the alumni medal for the best individ ual debater, against seven other con testants, in the annual contest in VII lard Hall last night. The man who thus upset hallowed tradition was Carleton K. Spencer, of Roseburg, 20 years of age, who Was also a member of the team which de feated the University of Utah debaters here a week ago. Spencer is a grad uate of Roseburg High School, and gained his experience In the Oregon High School Debating League last year. Last night's contest also showed as a tryout for selecting six men for the teams which will debate the Universi ties of Washington and Idaho on the question of "Federal Incorporation of Corporations Doing an Interstate Busi ness." next month. Spencer's brilliant showing probably will gain him the leadership of one of these teams. The other men chosen to represent the varsity were: Percy Collier, '10: L. Leon Roy, '12; both of Eugene: Burns Powell, '12. of Monmouth; A. B. Casn, '12, of Hood River: and Harold Zim merman. "IS, of Salem. , Wendell Bar bour, 12, of Eugene, was chosen as alternate. An unusual feature of the content was that two of the successful candidates were freshmen and three sophomores, only one upper classman making a place. Interest in debating has received a decided stimulus here through the varsity's recent victory over Utah. Judges of last night's contest were: L. T. Travis. Ben Huntington and Ray Goodrich, who awarded the alumni medal, and Professors Buchen, Sheldon and Barnett, who picked the men for the debate teams.

The recent agitation of pure food en forcement - in Portland, which has re sulted in an aggressive war on unclean dairies and tuberculus cows, is respon sible for the employment at this time of several additional inspectors, some of whom will be Government men and oth ers experienced men in private practice. Dr. Silverwood has a long record of effi cient work in the West in the inspection of stock and the weeding of diseased stock from Western herds. MRS.

H11ETT LOCAL POI CENTER OF MEDBIRV VALLEY ti.VTEWAV TO MIXES. Not Only Is It in Heart or Irrigated Valley, but Is Nearest to Jawbridge District. HAMMETT, Idaho. Jan. 22. (Special.) Medbury Valley within the next month will perhaps be the busiest new country that has yet been opened for settlement. A number of factors com bine to make the coming Spring and Summer times of great activity in this newly-lrrlgated country. Large forces are being organized to concentrate the travel to the new Jawbridge min ing district through Hammett. The new town of Hammett, In Medbury Valley, is the closest main line point to the new mining discovery, and it is stated by many who know the country well that the trip from Hammett to Jawbridge can be made much quicker than by going around several Junction points and then only reaching a few miles nearer on a branch line. It is proposed to open a wagon road from Hammett to Jawbridge by Spring and to organize large . freighting com panies as well as an automobile stage lino to tap the new mining center and handle the business from Hammett. The Fruitland Acreage Company, own ing the townsite of Hammett, will pro ceed immediately as soon as the weather clears with the building of a fine hotel and such other buildings as will be necessary to accommodate the large crowds. Besides the mining excitement which will liven things In Medbury Valley, there is also the fact that water will be turned on a large, portion of the land for this year's irrigating season. Most of the settlers who secured land at the opening will be on hand to im prove their farms this Spring, which in Itself would make Hammett a lively point. The fact that the town of Medbury has been changed to the name of Ham mett has a decided bearing on the future of this point, as this change In name was made by Oregon Short Line officials in their desire to honor Mr. C. H. Hammett. president of the Kings Hill Irrigation Companies. The Oregon Short Line has signified its intention to construct immediately a handsome station at this point, using all rail road influence to build up a thrifty' business center. Mr. Hammett. after whom the town was named, is taking a remarkable in terest in the growth of his namesake, and all these efforts combined promise to make Hammett, of Medbury Valley, one of the busiest places in all Idaho for the coming Spring and Summer at least. BAGGAGE OBLIGED TO WAIT Brownsville -Man Complains of Depot Facilities at Albany. SALEM, or.. Jan. 22. (Special.) L. H. Campbell, of Brownsville, has made vigorous complain to the Railroad Commiss ton regarding, the alleged "dilatory and incompetent manner" in which the Southern Pacific Company handles baggage at Albany. He says that baggage waits while the emplayes of the road transfer "dead head chicken coops and cream cans" and that fre quently baggage Is not forwarded to its destination for 24 hours or more after the passenger has reached the end of his journey. The Railroad Commission has been advised that the Western classification committee at its recent meeting at San Antonio, Texas, decided to make no change in the present schedule for the transportation of rugs. Rugs are shipped from the East in bundles, wrapped in burlap, and as there are frequent claims for damages the rail roads have been contemplating a new rule requiring that ail rugs should be shipped in bozos. Shippers throughout the West made vigorous protest, as the move threatens to add materially to the cost of rugs. The matter was brought to the attention of the Commission by Buren & Hamilton, furniture dealers of this city, and the Commission took it up. recommending that no change be made. L. L. Hurd. of Glendale. has written the Commission that the new depot built by the railroad company at Glen dale is giving general satisfaction and that he desires to withdraw his com plaint. The Investigation will be dis contlued. NEW MAIL SERVICE DUE Salem and Falls City to Get Change February 1 . SALEM. Or.. Jan. 22.
