BOOSTER COLUMN. mi. Editor :-l noticed in I tat week's Issue bo Item in tbi column concerning the letbarnT of inm. nf the outflMe pioperty holders in the city, citncerniiiK their courie in block ing tbe way to tetter improvements In your toon. Ail tbat you bare said ii true. Tbose fellows will not tell tbeir property to tbat another may build, and tbey will uut invest one noiiar (ueuiaeive in tbe erection of biiHnesa bouses. Hie busiuuttg blocks of Ho, id Kler are simply a fright ta ueuum. xnere are many nice brick Duuainga dotted bere and there through tbe town, but tbe many lit tle one story wooden shantieshat are andwitobed in between, spoil the looks of tbe eoti-e business district. There are at present several applicants lor ousiesa nouses in tbe city, but none can be ecured. Ihese stingy fellows bang on to tbeir little lots with tbeir little tumbled over sbanties, like grim death to a dead nigger's beeL Ibe people who come into our midst to look at the country always have a flattering word tor the orchards and berry fields, but turn op tbeir noses at me enacKey little town. Now you property owners take the advice of a bay-seed farmer and make some commendable improvements in your city propeity. If tbe piopery own ers on Oak street stay in tbeir shells muon longer tbey will force the bust nesa disriot to some other direction. Mr. Editor : This column may uot be the proper plnro to register a grievance, but I feel that something ought to be said in refeteuce to the bit and miss method pursued by many of the berry goweig this year. It seems as though there were no uniform prices for either pioking or packing. 1'he whole wage system was on a sliding scale. Ibis lack ot uni formity created a feiliiM of discontent that almost precipitated a general strike among tbe picaers and packers. The price in former years bus been 1 'a teut per box lor picking, and one-half cent per .box for packing. Some started the 'season with these prices, but when it as noticed that piokers would be scarce, some of tbe groweis began to pay two ceuts for pioking and 15 ceuts pel crate fm packing. Ibis raise was generally conformed too, and which is all that tbe grower cau altord to pay. Later in the season some of the busiuese men in your city, who know Absolute ly nothing about the strawberry bus iness, and who perhaps never saw a strawberry growing on the vines be fore in their lives, caused a .great panio by advancing the price of pick ing to three tents per box aud 20 cents per orate for packing. It it bad been possible we would have seived au injunction on the iad ioal grower or applied for a guurdiau. Such prices are beyond the bounds of reason, aud we hope tbat these method will never be repeated. Portland Rose Show. Portalod is planning to have a rose show and fiesta on a oollosal scale.
