ASKS COOPERATION
OF FRUITGROWERS
BY W. II. I.AWRKNCK
Considerable injury to apple
blossoms occurred in a few small
areas last spring. It is evident
that in these cold spots orchard
heating would give more desir
able results. In order to deter
mine where orchard heating may
be necessary I am asking more
than 100 orchardists at well lo
cated positions in the valley to
purchase minimum - maximum
thermometers and record the
lowest and highest temieratures
during April and May. Since
the ordinary thermometers are
seldom accurate I have decided
to ask the cooperators to pur
chase the thermometers through
my office in order that the instru
ments will all be tested and of
high grade so that all will record
the temperatures accurately.
Prices of thermometers have been
received from firms manufactur
ing astronomical instruments
used by the Weather Bureau and
other departments of the govern
ment service. For this experi
mental work good discounts have
been made. Each cooperator
will share in these discounts. I
am anxious that all orchardists
who desire to secure one of these
thermometers will do so.
The temperature records se
cured will not only be of great
value to me in my work, but to
the observor, since he will know
the exact conditions in "his own
orchard. Orders will be listed
for these thermometers, which
will not cost to exceed $3.25, un
til Feb 15. The order may be
made by mail or phone (242-M).
The quantity of moisture mixed
with the air has a very great in
fluence on the injurious effect of
low temperatures. When the air
is dry and low temperatures oc
cur far less injury is done than
at such times as the proportion
of moisture in the air is high.
The extent of injury by low tem
perature at various degrees of
saturation also depends largely
on the condition of the plant
By the use of a sling psychrom-
eter the degree of saturation
may be measured. By the use
of psychrometric tables the dew
point is determined. Generally
the dew point temperature in
the evening indicates quite close-
y the minimum temperature of
the following morning. It is de
sirable to have the dew point
temperatures determined at min
imum places in the valley since
the records will be of as great or
even greater value than the min
imum and maximum tempera
tures. It is hoped that 20 to 30 or
chardists will purchase these
sling psychrometers. These in
struments may be had for $5 to
$5.50 each. Orders for these
instruments will also be taken.
My purpose in asking the or
chardists to secure these ther
mometers is to determine:
1. The areas in which frosts
do not occur.
2. The location and extent of
areas in which frost injury does
occur.
3. The duration of frosty
period.
4. Trend of cold air currents.
5. The degree of saturation
of the air, range of temperatures
and frost injury during each day
of early spring.
Boy lias Narrow IZscape
An accident, serious in its
way but which might have proved
much more serious, occured
Thursday at noon. Several of
the school boys were over at the
store on horse back. Starting
back for school at rather a rapid
gait, Howard Cooper's horse
stepped into a hole and turned a
somersault and broke its neck,
throwing Howard some distance.
It is a wonder to all who wit
nessed the accident that Howard
was not killed too. He escaped
with only slight bruises.
On Feb. 2 Mr. and Mrs. Lee
Boles became the proud assess
ors of a tine baby boy.
MANAGER A. S. HALL
MAKESJTATEMENT
In giving his version of the
electric light rate war that has
been conducted at Hood River
during the past week Albert S,
Hall, general manager of the
Hood Kiver Gas & Electric Com
pany, states that he is thoroughly
satisfied with the share of busi
ness that the company has re
tained. "Thus far," says Mr. Hall,
"we have signed up one-half of
all the consumers in the city on
our flat rate and have of course
retained all of our business in
the country. We find that the
flat rate which we have adopted
is meeting with much greater
approval than the meter rate of
our predecessors.
''Complaints have been made
at the office of the Hood River
Gas & Electric Company of the
extra large size of the light bills
for the month ending Jan. 15th,
1912. I wish to say that any
such bills represent actual meter
readings, but the meters were
not read until four days later
than usual and therefore repre
sent 34 days service instead of
the usual 30. They also include
the period during the Christmas
holidays when much more light
is always used. I am satisfied
if light users will look at the sit
uation in a reasonable light they
will understand why their bills
were larger during the period
mentioned than under ordinary
conditions. I wish to say that
we would be glad to have anyone
who desires an explanation in re
gard to any such bills to call at
our office.
"I would like to ask the Hood
River people," says Mr. Hall,
"if they have any reason to
complain of the treatment they
have received at the hands of
the solicitors and other members
of the company who have been
employed during the past ten
days in conducting a rate cam
paign here. I believe they will
say in every case that they have
received the most courteous and
fairest of treatment. All the
Hood River Gas & Electric Com
pany asks is fair treatment on a
competitive basis. We are here
to give the best service for the
least money and ask the support
of the community solely on this
basis and none other."

have them paid for.
OFFICE HOLDERS
WILL RON AGAIN
Although the primaries are
near, no aspirants to the county
offices which expire this year
have as yet announced them
selves. This is no doubt due to
the fact that the present incum
bents have announced that they
will again be candidates. These
include W.E. Hanson, the county
clerk, Tom Johnson, sheriff and
J. M. Schmeltzer, treasurer.
Murray Kay, county surveyor, is
not yet prepared to announce his
intentions in this matter. One
of the county commissioners goes
out and the district attorney has
given it as his opinion that Mr.
Rhoades' term will end this year
for the reason that he received
fewer votes than Mr. McCurdy.
Carlton L. Pepper, The Dalles
attorney, has announced his can
didacy for the district attorney
ship. He says that if nominated
and elected he will do his best to
enforce the law and look after
the interests of the people. He
also promises that the class of
people controlling and commer
cializing vice shall have no influ
ence over him in the performance
of his duties.
J. L. Carter of this county is
being favorably mentioned as a
candidate for state senator. He
was in the legislature two years
ago.
L. A. Henderson has just an
nounced his candidacy for ccunty
surveyor.

The grange dinner and social
afternoon were a decided success.
