A Hlnr.v In tlit ciirrt-nt Imhiic of the

Mini election of ii new hoard of tit

Hood lUver, Ore., April 14
"The Itnle or Kuln faction haH 'n

matter of fact, were only Htalklnx
hom-H for an eiiMtern concern with
everything to irnln ami nothing to
lone hy dlnruptlnii the union have a
few more uiichhch coining to tliem.
"At the recent meeting the old
hoard of direr torn wax re-elected,
with the exception of two gentlemen
who reclined, owing to their Inaliil
Ity to devote an much time an wan
nrecary to the work, and the two
new men on the hoard are In full ac
cord with the uiiIoii'h previotm poll
cicf and the working" of ltd former
management. Ah a matter of fact
when It came down to casen at the
election, t lie inaleontentH hattle line
vauiHlied like thin mnoke. The grow.
it of the valley, aroused hy thear
giinientrt of Manager '. II. Sproat,
chock full of common Hcnxe and lactn
that could not he controverted,
tdiowcd up at the meeting In full
force, and when they got through.
the trouhle maker did not have
enough voten to swear hy- Sprout's
plain talk and bin analvHin of the fit
nation, n printed ho fully and at
t In- name time excliiwively In hint
week's Fruitman'H (jnlde, carried the
dav and carried It In the mont
wholenale faHhlon.
"The executive hoard of the Hood
Hlver Apple Grower' I'uloli 1h an
representative a liody of as repre
sentative an organization as one
could well lind the country wide. So
successful has t he union lieen since Its
Inception that It has served as a
model for numerous other organl.a
tloim In various sections of. the I'nl-
! ted States. Crop after crop has been
handled with complete success, de
spite the varying conditions that
! every different season brings. Nat
urnlly. the problem Is getting harder
anil harder to solve with every sue
feeding year. Hood Hlver no longer
holds a monopoly of tine quality
fruit. There are other districts In
the Northwest that grow just as per
feet apples, and other districts that
today are hotly contesting for the
apple championship belt. It is rldic
ulous to suppose that Hood Hlver
has the same hold on the consump
tion and on the trade that It had
some years ago. The apple Industry
In the Northwest has developed to
such a degree that Hood Hlver to
iday must take Its chance In the con-
I test with other sections turning out
equally line fruit, and the grower
j who Imagines that the Hood Hiver
I apple will sell on its name alone ami
j Is not susceptible to ordinary mar
I ket conditions, cannot see beyond
the confines of his own orchard.
"Were It not for the enormous
amount of publicity secured by the
clever maneuvers of the New York
fruit firm which for the past few
years has had the entire distribution
of the union's crop, the job this year
of getting prices satisfactory to the
growers might have been a bit
harder, and it Is to be remembered
that this publicity so advantageous
to the Hood Hiver grower, while en
gineered absolutely by the New York
concern, was at the same time more
j fully secured by the clever coopera
I thin of the union's board of directors
"The arguments presented by Mr.
j Sproat, an reprinted In last week's
I guide, are iron clad lu their Invulner-
ai.tiity. uitentimes wnat is one
man's meat Is another man's poison,
and the union's board of directors
certainly showed some shrewd sales,
manshlp when they sold to Stein
hardt & Kelly, of New York, a large
block of apples that made good
money for the sellers, but certainly
none for the purchasers. It was an
open secret among the trade tha)
Stilnluir.lt A. Kelly paid for their
Spltzeiiburgs $ J.lt) out In Hood Hlver,
and sold these same Spltzcnhtirgs
for weeks after weeks for mak
ing a net loss of.VVto tiny per box,
and a loss per car amounting In
some Instances to $ih) to f.VMl.
Whatever may be said of the pur
chaser' Judgment, the judgment of
the board of directors making the
sale would appear to be lieyond as
sault, particularly a It was no easy
matter to get hold of a linn that
was as nervy a It was llnaiielally re
sponsible, ami was both willing and

PENNSYLVANIANS
The Milllinburg Telegraph, a I'eiin
sylvania paper make the following
Interesting comment on soms of the
Hood Hlver apple neiit to that city
hy I.. M. Karstetter, a Hood Hiver
enthusiast.
"One day last week Comrade Mar
tin (J. Heed wan the recipient of a
box full of apple from Hood Hlver,
Oregon, expressed to him by his
friend. Mr. I.. M. Karstetter, of that
place, formerly of till section. And
such npples! Well, we never saw
anything lu that line to equal, much
les to surpass them for good si.e,
for beauty, freedom from faulty spots
and delicious tateand tlavor. They
are a perfect a can lie and range In
weight from 11 to 14 ounce. If there
I such a thing as "fancy apple,"
these certainly are worthy the prize.
Yes. Pennsylvania must bow her
knee to the Hood Hlver Valley of Ore
gon In the matter of apple raising.
In a letter to Mr. Heed, Mr. Kar
stetter says of their section a fol
lows:
"We have had beautiful weather
for over a month. Chinese pheasants
are crowing, native pheasant hum
ming, blue grouse hooting, hundreds
ofjother birds singing, and a wonder
ful profusion of wild flower bloom
ing and everything lovely. Naturally
we are all well ami happy."

HOW ABOUT THIS
BAD APPLE STORY
Attention Is called to a recent arti
cle on the market page of the Port
land Journal which Is anything but
tlatterlng to Hood Hlver' reputa
tion for fine fruit. If the story Is
true It would le better to have sent
the npples to the cider mill and If It
isn't, it's up to the tipple growing
Interests here to have It denied.
The Journal says:
"Hood Hlver Is Hooding the local
market with Yellow Newtown
apples, and sales are generally being
made at lower prices.
Some of the shipments coming
from the premier district are of such
poor quality that in normal season
they would not be allowed on sale.
At this time they are bringing from
$1.:?." to $1. '." a box.
Outside of the Newtowns few va
rieties are now offering In the local
trade, and sales can only be made at
slightly reduced figure. Hen Davis'
show quite fair quality, and these
are generally ranging around ?1.2"i a
box."
In cas-s of rheumatism, relief from
lain makes sleep and rest possible.
I'hls may be obtained by applvlng
'hamberlatu's I.inlmeut. For sale
by all dealers
able to assume the risk Involved lu
such a big and ticklish purchase.
It would be dlllicult to see In
what regard the management of the
union during the season In which the
box apple problem has been partlcu
larly arduous, could have been bet
ter ; and the ludicatlon of the
board's policies during this season
by the vote of April shows that
the hard headed farmers of t he Val
ley, who know a hawk from a hand- I
saw, took thlsvlcw of the matter.1

Hood River Apples Give Surprise
A letter to W. H. (James, of Port

her daughter. Is in Fngland, was re

Hlver apples In prime condition. The
apples were sent by Mr. (iames to
enlighten Fngllsh friends of the fam

complished their mission. It was
only the eating of the apples that
would convince their friends that
they were not wax Imitations. Or
