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.

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."
