WALKER, Branch Manager 8 Front Street PORTLAND, OREGON PORTLAND EXPERT PRAISES GOLF COURSE W. H. Gerke, superintendent and grounds keeper of the Waverly Golf and Country Club, of Portland, here Sunday visiting C. N. Ravlin, director of the recently established Hood River Golf Club, inspected the 150-acre Oak Grove place purchased by the local club. He waxed very enthusiastic over the location. "You have the making here of a wonderful course," said Mr. Gerke. "Indeed, with your facilities and your unlimited water your course should come to be known as one of the best in the Northwest. While lack of water results in parched fairways in many places in the hot months, your unfail ing water should enable you to keep the sod soaked and green. Your grounds, I think, will be very appeal ing to Portland golfers, and I predict that you have a big membership from that city." A. W. Peters, another director of the club, has just received a letter from Chandler Egan, of Medford, ex-American chammpion, who announces that he will arrive here about August 1 to start construction of the Oak Grove links.

A. Hilled, owner of Meadowbrook Farm in the Oak Grove section, is picking a re markable tonnage from his Bing and Lambert trees. The Lambert trees are especially heavily loaded. The cher ries cover the branches in clusters as thick as bees in a swarm. The fruit is also of a uniformly large size. Mr. Hilles picked one eight-inch Lambert bough that bore 27 ounces of fruit, number 109 cherries. Bpecial prices on Utah King Coal di rect from the car. Phone 2181.

APPLE RATE TO REMAIN AT $1 Rumors to the effect that the apple freight rate on ships from Portland andSeattle to English ports, via the Panama Canal, will be reduced from $1 to $.65 per box. are unfounded, accord ing to local shippers. A. E. Woolpert says he has just received a letter from the Royal Mail line, which announces that the $1 rate will be maintained. The Royal Mail line, which carried a heavy tonnage of apples last year, has announced that its first refrigerator boat will be ready for a cargo on Oct ober 15. Thereafter sailings will be made every 15 dsys. P. F. Clark says he has received no authentic information on a lower steamer rate on apples. He antici pates, however, that the keen competi tion among shipping interests may re sult in a modification of the present rate.

At noon Saturday a brisk westerly wind fanned the fiames and it was considered ne-esary to sound a gen etsl alarm to protect the endangered town, but the tire was confined to the gracs and windfalls and no damage to property resulted. Business for a while was entirely suspended. An emergency pipe line was laid down Jewvvtt vrnn to the bluff, which is I two blocks away.

The Homestead, just completed by J. O. Hannum, was officially opened last Sat urday, when the members of the Knights of Pythias Band, en route to the base camp of the Legion, were served dinner following a concert and flag raising ceremonies. The new hostelry, uniquely con structed of tamarack logs, is equipped with 10 bedrooms. A huge, glass en closed dining and lounge room, a fea ture of wjiich is a monster fireplace, looks forth on the snow peaks, Adams, Rainier and St Helens, of Washington, and vistas of canyon of the East Fork of Hood river. Mount Hood rises ma jestically to the southwest of The Homstead. Mr. Hannum is now busy building a terraced lawn in front of the hotel. Water is secured from a great spring of icy cold, 100 feet up the moun tainside. The stream will operate a hydro-electric plant for the hostelry. Mr. Hannum will ercet a number of individual cottages, and a grove of vir gin forest will be converted into a pub lic park. The hotel is being managed by Clint Wood and his sister, Mrs. S. D. Fisher. A surveying crew of the Bureau of Public Roads on Monday began laying out the route of a lateral road which will connect the Mount Hood Loop Highway, the new grade of which passes within less a mile of the moun tain resort, with the American Legion Camp, Cooper's Spur, and Cloud Cap Inn a short distance farther. The new road will follow the general route of a mountain road constructed several years ago by Mr. Hannum from his place to the ridge between Tilly Jane creek and Sand canyon. It con nected with a trail of easy grade to the foot of Cooper's Spur. NATION'S STRAWBERRY TONNAGE 18,000 CARS As a result of the slump in the strawberry market about mid-June, growers here will receive considerably less for their 104 carloads of fruit this year than last season, when 85,000 crates brought an average of $2.85 In view of the tremendous increase in the strawberry yield of the nation, however, shippers express satisfaction over this season's sales. The weekly report of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture states that the 1922 strawberry crop of the nation filled 18,000 cars, about 6,000 carloads more than normal and nearly 8,000 greater than the tonnage of 1921. Shipments of strawberries are ended here, but the final returns have not yet been computed by the Apple Growers Association, the district's only carlot handler of the product. Comparative figures for previous seasons are as follows: 1916, 16,236 cars; 1917, 15,065 cars; 1918, 8,452 cars; 1919, 8,105 cars; 1920, 8,490 cars; 1921, 10.G81 cars. Without exception, all of the leading producing states whose output is mar keted prior to June 15 have shown in creases ranging from six per cent in Louisiana to 300 per cent in Missouri, Florida, west Tennessee, and Illinois shipped three times as many straw berries as last season. The North Car olina movement was 1,110 cars com pared with 480 cars in 1921. Missis sippi, Arkansas and Kentucky doubled their shipments, and Virginia gained 130 per cent. Only in New Jersey is there an apparent decrease in carlot movement, the total to June 15 being about 275 cars compared with. 425 last season. Many Jersey berries, how ever, are hauled by wagon and truck to near-by cities. The yearly average for the fieuen years, 1916-1922, is about 12,150 cars. During the war attention was drawn away from strawberry culture to the production of more essential crops. Compared with 1917, shipments in 1918 decreased nearly 45 per cent. A slight additional loss occurred in the spring of 1919, but since 1920 the industry has been developing, and this season's total movement exceeds the 7-year average by 6,000 cars. The Dalles Produce Truck Wrecked Jack Kenney, driver of a truck for a transportation concern of The Dalles, miraculously escaped injury at 2.15 a. m. Monday when a boulder, fallen from an overhanging bank, crippled bis steering gear, sending the truck into the ditch. The machine was badly wrecked. The load of garden truck and fruits was salvaged and hastened to the Portland market by another truck. I r, 3 rn I a No matter what influences a truck owner to buy his first set of Caterpillars, the result is almost invariably the same; he is so well pleased with the combination of tradion, resili ency and milage they give him that he does not rest until he has them on all his trucks.
