ers' organization in the world, named
the North Pacific Fruit Distributors,
This organization has its main office
in Spokane, and is not in the field for
profit, but to systematize the -dis
tribution of the friut products of the
Northwest
It will be managed by a board of
nine trustees for the first term, each
trustee representing a division of the
territory covering Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana.
Each district has formed what is
termed a sub-central, which is a sep
arate organization from the Central
and its management and system may
be distinctly its own, except-that it
tions in its district, or it may contract
with growers who do not belong to
any fruit growers' union.
The sub-central must pay the cen

fund may be used to build local or
central storage plants, or by-product
factories.
This would make the charge to the

greatly reduced in case ' the Grande

total selling expense of $40.00 per
car up to the local associations, with a
possible reduction in the sub-central
expense as stated above.

stated that this system was 'copied

fruit man on the Pacific coast and
his confession concerning Hood River
and its product was somewhat humor
ous. .. , J ' . '
.. He said in substance, that Hood
River had really entertained the be
lief that they were the only district
in the Northwest raising real fruit
and that they would never need, to
give ' the other fellow consideration
that their markets were established
for good and that all they needed to
do now, was to grow and pack the ap
pies and go to the bank and get the
money, $2.00 per box or more, put on
a larger vest with elastic sides, take
the . Golden Gate Limited for Cali
nTfl January 1st, etc., but a sad
awakening had occurred, this season
iust passed and that the Hood 'River
apple growers could now easily wear a
size smaller clothes and smoke 5c ci
gars. Other districts of the North
west have turned up with apples that
folks will buy almost as readily as
Hood River fruit"and "their- tonnage,
with her famous apples and berries
(and there is none better in the
world), come: into' the North Pacific
Fruit Distribution with 90 per cent of
her tonnage, perfectly . willing now
to ride in the same boat and be soci
able and co-operative.
'.The new selling agency will make
a strong effort to buy the jealousy
and jockeying between the' different
districts and growers of the territory
and they succeeded in impressing
some of these, Grande Ronde growers
that the plan is the best yet conceiv
ed for all concerned.
The Imbler Fruit Growers' union
sent an instructed delegation and the
chairman of their committee announc
ed their affiliation with Walla Walla
sub-central of the Noth Pacific Trait
Distributors, subject to the approval
of the contract to be used by said sub
central. Mr. Yost made a strong
speech in favor of the ' new plan and
said that the Boise district had been
almost as. "chesty" over their fruit
as Hood River, until some gentleman
came to the land show at Portland
last fall from the "Grande Ronde val
ley" and took "Rome Beauty" money
away from him, which he supposed
was as good as in his pocket, (at least
it was already spent), hence Mr. Yost

delegation of representative apple
men, urging to come in with 1000 car
loads of good grade R one fruit, on
the same basis as Idaho, Hood River.
Yakima, Walla Walla and all the
rest.
A motion was passed calline an
other general meeting on July 12th at
the same hour and place for the pur
pose of completing the business in
hand and the maker of the motion
urged each association in the valley
to hold an official meeting prior to
July 12, so that each organization
may send a committee to the general
meeting with power to act.
Each union in the Walla Walla dis
trict will be allowed two trustees with
voting power and it was suggested by
the speakers, that the association of
this valley consolidate in some wav.
so that the sub-central at Walla Wal
la may have a single, definite officer
to expect reports from and to reDort
to here.
This will be one of the matters to
adjust at the . meeting July 12. to
which meeting every fruit or potato
grower in Union, Baker or Wallowa
counties is not only cordially invited.
but urged to be present.
Attention was also called to th
excellent horticultural program for
July 2nd, when five speakers and
experts will seek to help the fruit
glwers of this valley.
