THE CITY CANDIDATES Probably at no time In the city's his tory has an election of officers been of more Importance than that to be held next month. The city has now reach e4 the point where extensive improve ments are to be made and a large sum of money will be expended within the next couple of years. The $90,000 which la to be invested in the new wa ter system will be expanded during this period and the important work of paving the city Greets will also be done, while many other matters of im port an ce to the city will come up for accomplishment. In view of these facta a thoroughly competent business administration is the need of the hour. Most Important among the offices to be Oiled is that of mayor. For this position Mayor Blanchar is the logical candidate. A petition signed by the leading business men of the city has been presented to Mr. Blanchar and he has consented to become a candi date for the position. The different civic bodies of the city have given Mr. Blanchar their endorsement and there Is no reason why he should not receive the united support of all citizens at the coming election. There is no doubt that such will be the case. Mr. Blanchar Is especially well qualified to supervise the financial affairs of the city and his sound business sense will insure to the citizens a judicious ex penditure of the monies which are to be spent during the coming adminis tration. The concilmen who were regularly nominated at the primary election are also worthy of the strong support which they are receiving. All three are representative business men of the city and Mr. Stranahan has al ready earned the confidence and sup port of his fellow citizens during the period that he has been on the coun cil The more unanimous that the elec tion can be made the greater will be the consequent unity in support of the officials elected. The positions are not easy ones to fill for the reason that the duties exacted are recom pensed only by the sense of service to the community. It is a patriotic ser vice which the mayor and council men perform and the greater harmony that can prevail between them and the citizens the greater is their ability to act effectively in behalf of the muni cipality. The office of city recorder, which is also to be filled at this election, is one of the most important Mr. Howe, the present recorder, is entitled to a unanimous support on the record which he has made. He has thor oughly systemitized the city's books and business. He has worked consci entously and effectually, because he was especially well qualified to per form Its duties. Having thoroughly familiarized himself with the city's business and having demonstrated his thorough ability to do the work, he is the best man for the place. THIS YEAR'S APPLE MARKET Conditions in the apple markets of the country this year are not all that the growers of the Northwest might - desire. The heavy crop that has been produced throughout the country has been unusual, not to say phenomenal The natural result has been that the demand has diminished in Inverse pro portion. Hood River has been in a more ad antageous position to cope with con dltlons for two reasons. The greatly - Increased storage has made it possible to hold all the better grade fruit until the cheaper stuff that is now being dumped Into the markets has been consumed. At the same time the su perior quality of Hood River's stand ard varieties creates a more favorable demand than Is the case with less famous sections. The result is that local growers can afford to hold their fruit, confident that they will obtain reasonably good prices later in the aeason. ' When considered from a long-sighted standpoint it is not unlikely that the condition prevailing ths year may work out to the ultimate good of the fruit Industry In the Northwest. Dur ing the past few years there have ben heavy plantings of apple orchards. While It Is very doubtful whether all of these orchards will prove success ful In producing high grade apples, It la probable that they will be sufficient, when In bearing, to supply the demand for some time to come. Qt course the Increased production In the Northwest will be offset to a degree by the de creased output In less favored sec tions which have found themselves un able to compete with the higher grade fruit produced here. Extension of markets will also materially Increase the demand, but It Is the part of wis dom to curtail to tome extent at least the heavy plantings that have been made throughout the Northwest. This should be prompted by a sense of mu tual self protection of Northwestern orchardists. With this in view it is probable that the present market conditions will have a salutory effect upon the future orchard conditions in the Northwest. It is a cloud with a silver lining. NEW REPRESENTATIVE IS AN OLD PIONEER Under a cut of C. H. Stranahan Hood River's representative elect, the Journal has the following: C. H. Stranahan, elected state rep resentative for Hood River and Wasco counties by a majority of nearly 500, was born in New York, February, 1847. Mr. Stranahan moved West in 1875 and settled near Damascus in Clacka mas county, where he engaged in farming and remained until 1877, when he moved to Hood River and took up a homestead in the center of Hood River valley. He engaged in the orchard business, and the Strana han homestead is now one of the best orchards on the west side of Hood River. Mr. Stranahan has always been identified with the progressive element of the city and valley. He is now in charge of the Wasco Ware house Milling Company's interests in the city. He was elected as a Re publican. REV. TATE IS RE-ELECTED PASTOR AT WHITE SALMON The White Salmon Enterprise says: At the dinner recently held in the Odd Fellows Hall, the occasion being the annual meeting of the members and friends of the Congregational church, Rev. Tate was engaged as pas tor for another year. B. W. Morgan was elected treasurer; George Read, collector; Miss Knight, superintendent of the Sunday School; E. Pinn, organ ist A committee was appointed on the matter of proposed church union. This committee will investigate the matter fully and approach the other churches. Rev. Tate gives the greatest satis faction to the members of the church and is of much help to the town of White Salmon in more ways than one. He says he has sometimes thought of making such arrangements for the care of his Hood River orchard, or the disposition of it, that he can make his home in this place. Nobody would be more welcome. NVESTS S89.S00 IN LOCAL REALTY A recent dispatch to the Oregonian from Hood River says: During the past 90 days the total purchase price of real estate bought here by A. Welch of Portland has reached $89,500, and although no defi nite information can be had from any source, because of Mr. Welch's con nection with Willamette traction com panies and his frequent visits here last Bummer, speculation has again been started relative to the rumors that were afloat three weeks ago as to the construction of an electric loop railway in the valley. The most recent purchases of Mr. Welch announced yesterday are of two tracts of ten and eight acres re spectively In the Belmont district. He purchased the ten-acre orchard from Charles H. Henney, a United States custom official located in Portland, paying the sum of $13,500. The other tract was bought from Joseph Ricord at the same price. Both orchards are highly improved, the latter in bearing trees and the former with about half of its trees bearing. In September Mr. Welch bought from Devlin & Firebaugh, Portland realty men, tracts of orchard land ad joining the Belmont district, for $50, 000. The purchase of the Wheeler ranch for $12,500 brings the total of his investments to $89,5000. "Mr. Welch tells us that he does not contemplate making bis home here," says L. C. Simms, of the Edwards Real Estate Company, which acted as agent in one sale. He says that the land Is bought purely for investment and speculative purposes.
