Col lens, traffic manager of the Klder Steel Steamship Cm., and C. 0. Hireehbetf, of the Ad miral Line's Portland office, represent atives there of the Elder concern, was here last Thursday interviewing apple shippers and growers. Mr. Da Costa, who has been handling Hood River apples for more than a decade and who is now on a tour of all Pacific coast apple districts, in order that he may study, as he sayB, the de sires of growers and shippers at first hand, is an advocate of greater devel opment, on the part of apple shippers, of use of refrigerated space of steam ers plying between Pacitic coast ports anu those of the Atlantic coast. Mr. Da Costa points ont that the Elder Steel Steam hip Co.. operating three vessels between Pacific ports and the Atlantic coast points, has rendered a service to shippers that has been grat ifying. "These three steamers, says Mr. Pa Costa, "which have already han dled a material quantity of apples, will carry 40,000 additional boxes goon. They are equipped with individual refrigerated compartments. Shippi n may have their apples handled accord ing to their individual desires. On arrival at New York City the fruit is discharged at Pier 26 on North river at the foot of Franklin street. Apples are displayed for view of buyers In much the fashion err. ployed at the Erie Pier. The display rooms are heated and there is no danger of freezing of the product. "A charge of 40 cents per box has been set for this refrigerated steam ship service. Even with the inland railroad freights, wharf charges and insurance added, this is under the railway freight charges. The water route, as it elim inates the possibility of damage from frozen fruit, a contingency that the shipper who u es the transcontinental rail lines has to face at this season of the year, has added favorable features for the northwestern shipper. It ap peals to the shipper who desires to get late keeping varieties on the market late In the season, in that it requires a longer period in transit, and thus may possibly eliminate an eastern storage charge." Mr. Da Coat believes that the han dling of apples by inter-coast steamers and the transfer of them at New York City to trans-Atlantic ships will be greatly beneficial to the export busi ness. He points out that it is not only cheaper than the trans-continental rail and trans-Atlantic handling of the ap ples, but that it will tend to stabilize the foreign demands. "During the past season," sa; s Mr. Costa, "the steamers that have handled apples from the Pacific coast in quanti ties by direct water route from Seat tle, Portland and San Francisco, have been advertised for at least a month before their arrival as apple steamers. The trade of the Hritish Isles is thus induced to hold off buying, expecting a reduction in prices at the time of ar rival of the heavy stocks. This condi tion, in my opinion, has had a material effect in reducing the prices of apples in England this season. "Another point that might be made in behalf of the use of the coast to coast service, combined with the trans Atlantic ships, is that the Pacitic coast shipper will be given a diversion privi lege. It may be that conditions, on arrival of the apples in New York City, are much more favorable for good prices in the domestic market. He may sell at home. In case the ex pert trade offers better returns, then the trans-Atlantic service i immediate ly Available, and the apples may be transferred and placed on the markets of the British Isles in about 10 days. The maximum transfer charge on lightering the apples from the inter coast ships to trans-Atlantic ve-tsels is four cents per box. The apples may be forwarded from New York to Lon don, Liverpool, South Hampton, Bris tol, Manchester, Hull or Glasgow. "Another feature that -hould appeal to the shipper of northwestern apples engaged in the export trade, should be the element of time that must neces sarily lapse from time of departure of the fruit until its arrival. Hy loading direct from northwestern porti, the shipper must judge the market four weeks or more ahead of time. By the time his product arrives, the conditions may be materially changed. He only has to look forward nine or 10 days, when shipping from New York City. This time element is very advantage ous on occasion. "I note, too, that two steamship concerns are handling northwestern apples direct from the Pacific coast to Europe this year. The sailings of their boats are very nearly simultaneous. It would be far better for the shipper and grower if these sailings were al ternate, and thus the depressing effect of dumping huge quantities into the English markets would be cut in half. The alternate failings weuld feed the market more regularly and would have an all around beneficial effect. "TranB-Atlantic boats, engaged in handling the freight of general com merce, would convey nominal quanti ties of apples to the English market at steady intervals, and thus the effects of the gluts of the larger cargoes would be eliminated. These trans Atlantic vessels are never advertised as apole boats." Mr. Da Costa says that shippers of the northwest who handle pears as v-ll as apples should MVM route the fruits in the same refrigerated com partments. It has been proven that pears and apples cannot be safely ac commodated together, according to Mr. Da Costa. The apples will arrive all right but invariably the peera will show deterioration. Pears must be subjected to a ateady temperature whereas the apples can stand consider able variance. Mr. Da Costa rays that the war time conditions developed numerous new factors in the export market, who, although they were inexperienced in handling apples, were induced to attempt their sale. "Until this element is noted out of the trade," Bays Mr. Da Coeta, "the estatdished apple dealer and the grow er and shipiwr, too. will feel its hurt- ,ipiH ful effect. ' who has cor distributing carloads of this season, charge and heavier sale The New York exporter, nevtions in all British Isle points, has handled 168 norhwestern boxed apples While the rate of ex other factors resulted in on tbe o mesne market earlier in the season, wren exchange was around S3. 70. heavier sales are now being made abroad, exchange hav ing reached $4.2u. Last year Mr. Da Costa handled fin.UOO boxes of apples, one-twelfth of the export shipments. His sales in England averages! it. 75. "I have been handling Hood River apples for more than 10 years." said the exporter, who left last Tr.urnda. night for Seattle, "and I hope to in crease my tonnage. It is not say par pose to establish any further definite connection in fte northwest, but I do wish to make the trip bring me in closer touch with growers and ship pers, in order that 1 may explain to them the benefits of coast to coast shipping, and the possibilities of trans fer thence to trans-Atlantic steamers." Mr. Da Costa, while In Portland, was the guest of H. E. Davidson. While here he was escorted in calling on shippers by C. W. McCullagh. MRS. COPPLE RECEIVES $250 WHITE LEGHORN Mrs. C. E. Copple, of the East Side, last week received from D. Tancred. of Kent, Wash., a White Leghorn cock erel for which she paid $2.r0. This is the highest priced chicken ever brought to the valley. "A bird of the same family as mine, but older." says Mr. Copple, "was bought by a Mt. Vernon, Wash., poul try fancier for $500." Mrs. Copple is one of the most suc cessful poultry raisers in the mid-Columbia district She trapnests all of her stock and applies rigid rules of hygiene and feeding with her flocks. Her records show that her net earn ings for 11 months of last enr on a flock of 150 hens reached $575. She has one hen. named "Lady Macbeth," that has a record of 88 eggs in 85 days. "Raising poultry is profitable," says Mrs. Copple, "but one should never undertake the task unless willing to keep very enthusiastic and to expend a lot of 'pep' in the care of the chick ens. Too many poultry raisers expect to make a success simply by purchas ing a few mediocre chickens and then allowing them to take care of them selves. No wonder thev make a failure of the poultry business." The eggs of the mother of the roost er just bought by Mrs. Copple average 26 ounces to the dozen. The bird ship ped here was passed on by Judge Coats, internationally known expert, who spends most of his time judging at the country's foremost shows. Mrs. Copple next week will start two 512 egg incubators. Another local poultry raiser who has just received valuable fowls is Ernest Samuel. Mr. Samuel, whose place is on the West Side, has received five roosters from the Oregon Agricultural College, paying $10 each for them. TRUCK LEGISLATION HAS OPPOSITION Local motor truck operators general ly express opposition to the drastic legislation directed at them. Charles Hart, who with local fellow truck own ers declares that the rules will almost confiscate their business, savs a letter just received from the White truck dis tributing branch in Portland, fairly states their claims. The letter fol lows : "The automobile and truck industry has not only reached the limit, but has gone a considerable distance beyond the limit in the m.itter ef taxes. Where our senates and representatives got the idea that every owner of an automobile or truck or dealer in gaso line driven vehicles has a large surplus of monev with which to finance fairs, build all of our roads and properly maintain them and take cure of any other undertaking that requires, some cash money we have no idea, but can assure you that the automobile dealers of this city are up in arms over the situation. "We do not believe that any irnmedi ate relief can be obtained but th. t ruck dealers are holding a meeting this noon with the idea of immediately laying plans to offset the propaganda that has been brought to make a political foot ball out of the automotive industry every time our legislators are so inclined. "You call attention to the use of the referendum and in the writer's opinion there is a very good possibility of it being used successfully not only on House Bill No. 4, but on the legisla tion tnat was nut through at a special session in reference to the regulation of passenger buses and trucks used over the state highways. In fact, if the additional tux on gasoline had gone through for financing the fair, the Portland Automobile Dealers' Associa tion had practically definitely decided to make use of the refeiendum, hut now that the big issue, namely the gasoline tax has been held up and probably killed, there is some doubt as to whether the majority of the dealers would be in favor of using the refer endum on the other things at this time. "However, the matter will certainly be discussed and we will he glad to advise you as to the decision that is reached. "There is one thing sure that the average user of automobiles and trucks does not fully appreciate the pressure that the automobile and truck owners can bring to bear in matters of this kind if they will only pull together. There is something like 136,000 oper ators of gasoline driven vehicles in the state of Oregon and this number of voters with their friends working for them can come pretty close to handling any legislative situation that they might be interested in. Not only can, but we are going to make the effort to put it over at the next session of the legislature."
