Successful Co-operation It is douttf nl if anything has tlenionttratotl more fully the pro gressiveni'ss and cooperation of Hood River nppla growers than the spirit manifested at the aunual meeting of the union Saturday. Without hesitation its members to a unit supported the directorate by voting an additional sum to properly handle the crop this year, while the directors gave evidence of a tine iense of loyalty to the organization in refusing to accept remuneration for their services. As a matter of fact, as far as our knowledge goes the latter is un precedented in the annals of com mercial organizations and must he 1 . 1 A A 1 . 1 " A recorueu as greauy 10 ine creau ci gon t0 Co03 BdV The purchase not only the directors out to tne irice of this big land grant win consents to raUe it, will le fpent in those three states. The bill has already passed the senate and is iu the hands of the lower house, which will probably act upon it within the month. During the past two or three years the recla mation service has planned and begun tome of the largest irriga tion projects yet undertaken in the weet and in almost every case has been prevented from completing them by lack of funds. For ex ample, the irrigated art a of Klick itat and Yakima counties in east ern Washington will be doubled if the projects already underway are completed. The sale of the big land grant of the Willamette Valley & Cascade Mountain Koad company during the past week to capitalists said to represent the Hill interests,indicate to many that the reported Pacific cot outlet for the Burlington may become a reality. It Is be lieved that Hill will build west from Billings, the present termi nus, to Boise and thence westward through Ontario and across Ore- men at large who compose this tine body of tillers of the soil. The spirit of the occasion mani fested itself also in handling ques tions that are of signal importance to every grower in the valley. Strong discussions without enmity on labor, packing, labeling, grad ing and the financial affairs of the institution took place that removed the cobwebg and whose warnings and advice must result in great and lasting good. While the growers generally who participated in these discussions are all to be congratulated on the excellent advice they ottered their fellow members, we believe that Secretary Sproat hit a strong note in his talk against absolving the grower from responsibility for the grade of his fruit. On the other hand the packer should be made to feel that he is equally responsible. Mr. Mason's statement that each year apples unfit for sale, bearing the label of the union, are offered in the public markets should cause every grower to exercise a vigilance that would make this impossible. Hoot! River has conquered the world for fancy fruit at fancy prices and if it would hold its markets constant vigilance must be the watchword. The grower must become his own mentor and pass judgment on his own fruit the lame as he would on another's. Let nothing pass that is not up to the highest standard. From year to year varying con ditions arise to confront the suc cessful marketing of the fancy ap ple crop increased production, improvement in fruit offered from competing districts, new markets and other phases all have to be considered. The bulwark of strength to successfully cope with every phase is quality. The best apples will always make their own market at the best price. Whieh, it may be said, is the sum and substance of the apple industry or any other business. It is the key note of success now and the salva tion for the orchardist in the future. Apart from strictly maintaining the quality the future of the fancy apple industry lies in the control of the product. Sooner or later a central association of which the local associations will be members and which will cooperate on the details of marketing must inevit ably come. As a fruit handling organization Hood River has reason to be justly proud of its association. It is no longer an experiment, but an asset that insures not only every apple raiser but every investor the worth of his money. run up into the millions. If its purchase by Hill can be confirmed and this railway is built, it will mean a great ievelopnient for Or egon, for it will open the most iso lated sections to settlement. It is expected to complete the jetty at the mouth of the Colum bia river this season. WorJt has been started extending it further and the dredge Chinook will oper ate on the bar during the summer. By the time the work stops in November it is expected to have a depth of 80 feet on the bar at low tide. One of the big w heat farms of the state was sold the past when the lands of the J.A.Woolery estate in Morrow county passed to a syndicate of North Dakota bank ers. The sale included 19,000 acres and the price paid was 1150- j 000. It will be cut up into small farms. j The purchase of a big tract of timber land on the Siuslaw river the past week by Porter Bros., be-' lieved to represent J. J.
