THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9, 1913 High Compliment Is Paid to Mr. Sieg by Directors In behalf of the board of directors of the Union, C. W. Hooker read at the meeting Saturday a report which In cluded a high compliment to Mr. Sieg, who has most successfully managed the Union during the past year. A portion of the directors' statement fol lows: The board has endeavored to be fair to Its stockholders, to the growers of the valley as a whole, and to the various concerns considered in this amalgamation. They have fried to be fair, not only in this proposition, but in all their dealings during the past year, and they regret sincerely that their motives should have been ques Honed by any grower. To Mr. Sleg, we believe, is due the credit for having made possible the conferences between the several or ganlzatlons and we feel certain that had It not been for Mr. Sieg and his strong attitude towards fairness that the several concerns would never have found a common ground to stand upon. No man In this valley, no matt r what his Interests may be, or how much he may be concerned in the wel fare of this valley, has worked harder for the Interests of the valley as a whole than has Mr. Sieg. Both In conferences and before the growers he has always been frank, direct in his statements and absolutely honest of purpose and we have often said to Mr. Sieg that if he has been criticized It Is due to the fact of his being so frank and talking so plain to growers who have not been accustomed to such frankness and his earnestness may have caused the impression that he was concerned for himself rather than for the grower. For the past eight months Mr. Sieg has worked tire lessly to bring about better conditions in Hood River, and it Is our hope that the growers of this valley appreciate In a small degree the work which Mr. Sieg has done. Scheme Not Forced There has been no attempt on the part of this board to "railroad" any plan or take advantage of any author ity they possess as directors to force any Issue which they might favor but which might not be satisfactory to a very large majority of the growers of the valley and In this particular mat ter the board has endeavored to go to all extremes, sparing neither time nor effort to Impress upon the growers that the plan was for the benefit of the growers rather than for the Union It self as an institution. No plan of as great importance as this plan ran be made perfectly, plain to all growers without those who are perfectly fa miliar with the plan being very ac- FEDERATED CLUBS WILLMEET HERE Mrs. H. V. Davidson, recording-secretary of the Oregon Federation of Woman's Clubs, attended a meeting of the executive board held in Portland last Wednesday, April 2. The time of the annual meeting, which Is to be held In Hood River, was fixed for Oc tober 6, 7, 8 and 9. On the evening of October 6 formal greetings will be exchanged, followed by a reception to visitors and delegates by the Woman's Club of Hood River. The Federation has nearly 4000 members and Hood River may well feel proud to have as her guests this fall delegates from this representative body of the women of Oregon. A flue program Is being prepared which It Is hoped everyone may enjoy. In Sunday's Oregonlan was an ex tended article about this important event, Mrs. Charles Castner of this city was also present at the meeting last week and the following Is quoted from the article: "CleanUP Day" Featured The chairman of the civics commit tee, Mrs. Charles Castner of Hood Riv er asked that the attention of all the clubs be called to the rapidly ap proaching "Cleanup Day." She says "Many clubs are already busy and we urge others to get to work. We also ask all who have not already done so, to secure the passage by your city council of the model garbage ordi nance (modified to fit the needs of each community) before the warm days come, and thus take the first step In our yearly 'Swat the Fly' cam paign. Itegin planning your garden contests If you are to have any, and write the chairman If any Informatl n Is needed." The board was much Interested in the Reed College Conference on the Conservation of Human Life, to be held at the college May 9-11, 1913, and voted unanimously to accept the Invi tation to take an active part In it. A letter will bo sent to the presi dent of every club In the state asking her to register a protest from her club agalsnt the removal of Miss Julia La throp, as chief of the Children's Bu reau. These letters will be sent to President Wilson, to the Secretary of Ihor and to ench member of the Ore gon delegation at Washington. live and not sparing themselves from criticism by arguing the benefits to be derived from such a consolidation. Un fortunately It seems .to be a fact that it Is Impossible to have honest mo Mvcb accepted as such and must one refrain from activity in order to spare himself from criticism. Situation A Serious On Perhaps the directors feel unneces sarily concerned about the future of the valley and are too greatly alarmed over the situation resulting from such an enormous production of apples of the Northwest and the unbusinesslike methods now in vogue, not only here, but all over the Northwest, in the mar keting of these apples, but we believe that when the growers understand the situation as It not only exists this year but that as It Is bound to exist even In years when there is not as great a production of apples in the Eastern states, but when the produc tion will have vastly increased in the Northwestern states, then we believe that the growers will be Just as alarm ed as are the directors of Its Union. So serious Is the situation, and so great will be the loss to the growers in case plans are not immediately form ulated looking to a betterment of con ditions that In the minds of the direc tors details of minor importance should not stand in the way of the consummation of a plan which If not carried Into effect at this time must necessarily be dropped for at least a year. If not for a longer time, be cause the time is at hand when each shipping association must make its plans for the marketing of the coming crop. This cannot be done satisfac torily while there Is uncertainty as to the policy to be pursued. How much this board of directors appreciates the efforts of Mr. Sieg we hope he may come to realize as time goes on and we have that much faith In human nature to feel that the time will come when the appreciation of the . growers of this valley will be equal to that of the board of directors. When the objections raised by the growers are sifted down it is found rhat the chief objections to the plan as outlined have been due to lack of information or due directly to preju dice. It Is Impossible that a plan out lined today would exactly meet future conditions, but if a start is made it is reasonable to suppose that the organi zation will be perfected as it progress es and as its needs call for and all the time bearing in mind that the control of the organization is in your hands, the situations which may arise can be acted upon and corrected by you. acted upon and corected by you. NEW CONDITIONS HERE ARE REVIEWED The first issue of the "Fruit and Pro duce Distributor," a new weekly mag azine published in Portland, made its appearance last week. C. R. Greisen, formerly of "Better Fruit," Is general manager and Hyman H. Cohen is edi tor. It Is devoted to the marketing industry. Among the articles Is one on marketing for the newer districts by Francis F. Powell of Stephenville, Mont., who is a firm believer In the newly-organized North Pacific Distrib utors. Referring to changed condi tions In Hood River, he has a couple of paragraphs as follows: Ten years ago the Individual grow ers In Hood River had exhausted the possibilities of individual selling. At that time extra fancy Spitzenberg ap ples were selling at less than 90 cents per box. This condition forced the formation of the local associations, which were able at that! time to sell the fruit of the growers at a good price. The next step was the organi zation of rhe local associations Into district associations similar to the Yakima district, where over twenty lo cals are united In the district associa tion. And now new problems brought by a larger tonnage have made neces sary the union of these district associ ations. The main reasons for the organiza tion of the new marketing agency are as follows: The necessity of distrib uting the fruit of the Northwest so as to eliminate In the large markets de structive competition between the var ious district organizations; of encour aging the construction of proper stor age facilities and by-product establish ments at or near the original shipping points and of Increasing consumption by opening new markets and enlarging old ones through a rational advertis ing campaign. In Kngland there has been patented a combination of opera glasses and sound Intensifier for the use of play goers whose hearing Is Impaired. Chicago's grand opera season Just closed shows receipts about $500,000 against $180,000 last season. The News for fine printing. I'll mm WyU New Line Fancy Ribbon No. 22, 4o and 80 10c Yard. SINNOTT TO SEND GHILDREOIRD BOOK To put the new bird bulletin Issued by the department of agriculture in ihe hands of every school child in his district is the plan of Congressman N. J. Sinnott. The bulletin is called "Fif ty Birds of Farm and Orchard," and besides giving a short dem.ripi.iou of each feathered friend and foe it gives a colored p'cture of the same and tells Its habits and its economic uses. The bulletin will not only be of ser vice to teachers for classes In nature study but will enable boys and girls on the farm to tell good birds which eat Insects from the bad birds which are enemies of the farmer. As soon as the book can be obtained In sufficient quantities It will be sent to every county school superintendent in Eastern Oregon and to the teacher of any public or private-school who will request them from their congressman. The Importance of being able to recog nize birds which eat insects and to protect rhem Is brought to mind by the statement in the bulletin that in sects yearly cause a loss of upwards of $700,000,000 to the farmers of America. "Are you the same man who ate my mince pie last week?" "No, mum, I'll never be the same man again." "Who Is your favorite hero?" "The man who doesn't need any mistletoe."
