HOOD RIVER IS UNITED
In every way last week mass
meeting was a splendid testimonial to
the intelligence and progressiveness
of the Mood River orchardist. Also
it was rich in promise for the future.
Hood River has been united and all are
now in the harness with one end in
view instead of pulling and hauling at
cross purposes and to each other's
harm.
Expression in favor of consolidation
was unanimous. This means that the
new organization is launched under
the most auspicious circumstances.
Hardly a voice was raised in opposi
tion. Probably never before in the
history of the valley were all of the
growers In such perfect accord. They
expressed in emphatic terms their de
sire for an amalgamation of local
selling interests and their complete
confidence in the men who are work
ing out the details of the consolida
tion. Formation of the new organization
does not mean that the millenium has
arrived here in Hood River. It does
not necessarily mean that a large In
crease in returns is to result at once,
but it does mean, and every reason
able man will admit it, that if the
growers of this valley stand behind
the organization it will strengthen tre
mendously Hood River's standing in
the markets of the world.
Every orchardist will pray for the
success of this association, for it
means dollars and cents and bread and
butter to him. He will boost, not
criticise. He will work for the or
ganization every day in the year when
the opportunity presents Itself. He
will have confidence in the manage
ment. From now on the man who
seeks in any way to weaken the new
organization by unwarranted criticism
will be nothing less than a traitor to
the community. He will not dare to
do so. He cannot afford to do so. He
will not be tolerated. Hood River is
united. Hood River is going to stay
united and every orchardist in the
valley must cultivate a loyalty for It
and such confidence In it that failure
will be an impossibility.
MR. SPROAT'S ADVICE
No truer words were spoken at the
massmeeting Wednesday than those
of Mr. Sproat, former manager of the
Union, who declared that if the new
organization is perfected it is most
necessary that the men who shall be
placed in charge of it by the growers
should receive their complete confl
dence.
From his long experience as a rep
resentative of the growers of the val
ley, Mr. Sproat knows better, prob
ably, than anyone else the tremendous
handicap under which an executive
labors when he does not receive such
confidence. It is the first requisite of
a cooperative organization and it will
be more important than ever when the
interests of the entire valley are
united under one executive head.
At the present time there Is ev
ery Indication that the new organiza
tion will become established. The
growers have expressed themselves
unanimously In favor of it and they
entertain high hopes for the improved
condition which such an organization
will bring about in marketing the out
put of the valley. Its efficiency will be
in direct proportion to the degree in
which it receives the united support
of the growers whom it serves and it
is up to them to resolve at the start
that they will give the organization,
Its managers and directors, their com
plete confidence. This done and its
success will be assured.
ing, a small city park to be used for
public gatherings and for rest and
recreation In the summer and also
the nucleus for a library which will
soon grow to meet the needs of the
entire county.
Other cities have testified to the
fact that they have found their 11'
braries, especially when located in
small parks, the best possible invest
ment. The standard of the commun
ity is raised. Strangers are more fa
vorably impressed. Civic pride is en
gendered and the reputation of the
community as a progressive one is
materially increased.
Everybody is showing an interest
in the local library and it is a good
sign. The opportunity will soon come
to vote upon the proposition which
will make possible the establishment
of the Carnegie Library. The citizens
of Hood River are goinc to vote in
favor of It. They cannot afford to
do otherwise.
GARBAGE DUMPED IN ROAD
A local citizen yesterday called at
tention to violation of the law in dis
posing1 of garbage. He said:
"Cleaning up lots from the accumu
lation of rubbish and such as glass
cans, wires, etc. is commendable, but
to haul them onto the public highway
makes it a greater public nuisance
than to leave them on the premises.
Moreover It violates the criminal
laws of the state and is punishable
by a fine of not to exceed $25 under
Section L. O. L. It would be well for
persons who haul such waste to avoid
this error and for those who have al
ready committed the same to go im
mediately go and remove the glass
bottles, glass, nails, hoops, cans and
other rubbish. The guilty parties will
undoubtedly know where the deposits
were made on the highways of the
county.
HOOD RIVER'S LIBRARY
A good public library is not an ex
travagance. On the contrary it Is
one of the best Investments that a
community can make. Hood River Is
soon to build a Carnegie library In
case the people of the city vote In
favor of revising the charter so that
the council will have authority to pur
chase some additional ground for the
site. There Is no ground upon which
opposition could be based unless it
were that of the expense Involved. It
Is not probable that there will be any
material opposition on this account,
however, as the expense Involved
would not be great The city will
prubably have to purchase only about
60 feet of additional property and the
amount paid for this will not be felt
by any taxpayer. On the other hand
the material benefits which will come
to the community when a well-equlped
library has been established will be
many.
The library will be a splendid ad
diton to both county and city, for
both ar equally Interested. The city
will secure another attractive build-
WASHINGTON TO
HAVE "APPLE DAY"
Governor Lister has issued his first
proclamation as follows:
"Whereas, the state of Washington
is rapidly taking the lead as a fruit
raising state, especially in the produc
tion of apples, this production repre
senting an investment of hundreds of
millions of dollars and producing fruit
to the value of many millions of dol
lars annually, and
"Whereas, The producton of the ap
ple in its finest forms and colors and
most delicious flavors, of great im
portance to the people of the nation
and the world as well as the state of
Washington, and
"Whereas, Apples can be served in
a greater variety of ways and more ac
ceptable every day of the year than
any other fruit: Now.therefore, I.Ern-
est Lister, governor of the state of
Washington, do hereby name Satur
day, April 5, 1913, 'Apple Day.'
"And I recommend that on that day
all loyal and patriotic citizens of the
state of Washington unite in observ
ing it) as 'Apple Day' by advertising
and boosting Washington apples to
the end of the earth. And that
apples may be on sale in all appro
priate stores and other proper places
and served in all the delicious ways
known to housewives and chefs in the
homes, hotels, clubs, restaurants, din
ing cars, and to the end that the rais
ing and distribution of apples of fine
flavor and perfect form and color may
be encouraged and increased."

Yakima Orchardists Are Combatting
Insidious New Pest
A systematic fight is being made In
Yakima orchards on pear blight, which
manifested itself last year. The county
commissioners have assured Deputy
Fruit Inspector T. O. Morrison that
they will give him as many assistants
as needed to cover thoroughly every
district between now and blossoming
time. A list was prepared last year of
Infected orchards, and these will be ' J
visited to see that all Infected parts'
are cut oui Air. Morrison says mat, i
theoretically, the blight can be beaten,1 J
If everybody does his share, but so
insidious is the plague that, if a man
here and there falls to do bis duty, the
loss may be enormous to the whole
district The man who Is not careful
now, he nays, will probably lose SO per ',
cent of his trees before the summer Is )
