While the main purpose for which the meeting was held was to elect a board of directors tor the en suing year a number of Interesting dlMcusslons were bad and the asso ciation also listened to an address by Prof. W. H. Lawrence, horticulturist In charge of field and experimental work for the association In the val ley." . The new board of directors Is as follows: W. II. Dlckerson, Kay liab son, ('. I. Thompson, Joe Porter, L. F. Henderson, ('. C. Lemmon, and A. V. Peters. Mr. Thorn psoo, Mr. Por ter and Mr. Peters were members of the old board. At the suggestion of several mem bers an amendment to the by-laws was adopted providing tor the secre tary to notify each member of the regular and special meetings of the organization by postal card as well as by notices In the papers. A change was also made In the board of directors, the number being 'de creased from eleven to seven, as It was found that the larger number made an unwledly board. In addressing the board, Mr. Law rence said In part: "I have made a thorough and complete survey of the Hood Itlver district, studying the soli conditions and noting the sever ity and distribution of diseases, whenever they occur. I have begun my Investigations of the diseases In order that we may understand bow to stamp them out and be able to prevent epidemics. For the past few days my assistants and myself have been eollectlng soil samples to be sent to the agronomy department of the Oregon Agricultural College, where their texture will be analyzed. This study Is being made for the pur pose of working out a scheme for a drainage system. We have also been testing cover crops for their values as green manures. "My efforts here In the Hood River Valley have been met with a splendid co-operation. The association Is growing rapidly and I do not think that It will be long until allot the growers will be members of It; for they bavecome to know that a great assistance may be derived from the efforts of Its workers. Next week we will work on the drainage prob lems on the East Side". NEW LOCOMOTIVES FOR SOUTHERN PACIFIC Twenty six of the most modern type of locomotives, a part of the 196 ordered a year ago by the Harrlman Limn, are now being delivered to the Southern Paelnc Company and with in another two weeks will be placed In operation over the heavy Sierra Nevada and Thhachapl mountain grades. The Pacific System of the Southern Pacific Company Is to have 65 of these Iron monsters. Thirty eight of them are to be used on that part of the system under the Jurisdic tion of E. E. Calvin, vice president and general manager, with offices at San Francisco. Calvin's Jurisdiction extends west from Spraks, Nevada to San Francisco; north to Ashland, Oregon, and south to El Paso, Texas. These engines mean to the shipping and traveling public, a saving of thousands of dollars. They will ex pedite the transportation of fruit to all points In the country, saving much money to the grower and ship per by making deliveries in perfect condition and securing for the pro ducer top prices. Several hours con sumed In traveling over these heavy mountain grades will be cut from the passenger schedules of the Company by the new large and modern passen ger engines that are to be placed In service. Deafness Cannot Be Cured Ity local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, nad that is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness Is caased by an Inflamed condition of the mu cous lining of the Eustachian. Tube When this tule Is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hear ing, and when It Is entirely closed, deafness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can tie taken out and this tube restored to Its normal con dition, hearing will Iks destroyed for ever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mu cous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deaf ness (caused by catarrh) that cannot lie cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Cheney &Co., Toledo, Ohio.

NEWS OFFICE SAYS LOCAL WOMAN VASjLL TREATED Claiming that the detention room at the Ellis Island Immigrant Station Is a veritable "Hell on earth" and that a Mrs. Jepson of Hood Itlver contracted a virulent case of erysipe las while being kept there a short time Rev. Sydney Herbert Bass, an English clergyman, has made charges against the officials of the immigrant station to Congressman Wm. Sulzer. Mr. Bass Is now In Harrison Valley, a small town In Pennsylvania, but made his complaint In New York. As far as can be learned there Is no body at Hood River of the name given In Mr. Bass' complaint, al though there la a family living at Odell named Jeppeeon who have been here a year and came from Indiana. The story as given in a dispatch to the Journal Is aa follows: "It was a veritable hell on earth, and I lost no time In telling them so," says Mr. Bass. "Mrs. Jepson of Hood River, Or., was there with me, but was detained a day longer, and as a result contracted while there the worst case of erysipelas her doctor had ever seen In all bis practice." "I am a British citizen, and com plained of the unsanitary conditions to my ambassador, who sent a coun sellor general of commerce and labor. They would not let me wire to the British consul. They refused to look at my credentials, and when I told an officer I protested at the terrible treatment of British women In the awful common room, be said: "We are going to alter It right now." Commissioner Uhl sent them urgent Instructions to Instantly release me, and I went off all alone without my baggage. I went back and com plained to several Inspectors of the awful condition In that 'bell on earth,' also I went before the euperlntendant and be had several men up before him who the Friday before called out to the passengers landing from the Adri atic, 'Get on upstairs, you cattle; you will soon have a nice little pen.' " VERMONT GOING INTO BOXED APPLE BUSINESS Ralph Perry, president of the Ver mont Horticultural Society, urges the growers In that state to pack their apples In boxes. Instead of In barrels. In a recent letter to the members of the society, he made a strong plea for better fruit and bet ter packages, saying: "The box represents the best pack age yet Invented, provided apples are of a duality to correspond. We can grow these apples In Vermont, but at present the percentage Is not large enough to make the box package profitable. As an Illustration, I wish to cite an Instance of twelve barrels of apples, valued In the ag gregate at $."4. From these nine boxes of apples were selected. These sold for f 27. The grade of the nine barrels remaining was bo lowered that $27 was all that could be ob tained for the lot. If, however, eigh teen boxes could have been taken from the lot, they would have brought $54, while the remaining six barrels could have been sold for $3 per barrel, thus giving a handsome profit. The mathematics of the problem, then, seems to be that un til we can grow a crop of apples of which more than 25 per cent shall be of the box grade, It will not pay us to use the box package," BAD LUCK FOLLOWS STEVENSON MAN Jeff Mi bad the mtsfortnne to get struck In the eye with the end of a sharp stick, while at work In the woods the other day, which gave bttn a severe and painful wound says the Stevenson Pioneer. The stick cut through bis eyelid and penetrated In to the ball, endangering the sight of the eye. It seems to be a curious fact that some men are born to meet with accidents, and Jeff seems to be one of these. Ever since his house burned down alout four years ago be has had one accident after another until It seems like something Is wrong If he Is all right. He has a host of friends, however, who hope to see nts luck turn soon, and see him as lucky the rest of hts life as be has been unfortu nate.

D.MCKELSEN, Sec'y WHITE SALMON BOYS CLAIM THEPENNANT The Mid Columbia River League Is over, and White Salmon claims the pennant, maklog her the champion team for the seasons of 1910 and '11, says the White Salmon Enterprise. Out of the twelve games scheduled, White Salmon has won eight, with one game forfeited to her by The Dalles falling to put In an appear ance on Its date here. Hood River Is second, although they do not want to count the protested game played here. In which the manager called off the team because of a mistaken de cision. The protest is not well taken and will undoubtedly not be sus tained. The team that has won the pennant was made up of Stockton and Keefbaver, battery; Hall, Cain, Douglas, Humphrey, Everett, Ham ilton and Talbert, Jacobson taking Hall's place at first In the later games, and Van Vorst figuring In two or three games. Stockton's pitching was the big winning feature In the team, doing good work In every game. The boys also showed marked Improvement In batting over last year. Assistant Manager Carlson deserves considerable credit, especially In handling the unpleasant financial part of It. INVITED TO ATTEND NOTABLE CEREMONY Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Kauffman of Oregon, Illinois, who have been stay ing at Hood River for some time and may decide to make their home here, received an Invitation Saturday to attend an Interesting ceremony at their home which will take place July 1st.

The statue which cost a large sum, Is of heroic size being 43 feet high with a pedestal six feet In height. Eagle Nest Is a summer camp for literary men and artists, and among those who will take part In the. In teresting program that has been pre pared is Hamlin Garland.
