SAVING ON STORAGE One of the substantial savings which will be effected through amal tarnation of the local shipping inter est will be in the matter of storage. It Is estimated that about $10,000 will be saved annually by reason of the three cold storage plants in the city being operated under a single man agement Heretofore the Davidson Fruit Com pany and National Apple Company have found it necessary to make a charge of 12Vi cents a box for s tor- ape In order to cover the actual ex pense. The Union has been making no charge, but this was found to be poor economy for the reason that the cost of storage became a liability to be met at the end of the year. Under the new system a consider able proportion of the crop can be stored in the association's plants, if necessary. This will give Hood Riv er a substantial advantage over Wen atchee and other fruit districts of the Northwest which have little or no cold storage facilities. When stored in the East the additional storage in transit charge, interest on freight ad vanced by the storage companies and other items bring the total cost of storage to not less than 25 cents a box. Compared to this 25-cent charge is the 10-cent charge which has been decided upon by the local association. It is probable that under ordinary con ditions not more than a quarter' to a third of the crop will have to be stored. This will reduce the storage charge to the minimum of to 4 cents a box when, distributed pro rata. As shown above Hood River will be able to reduce her storage charge to a minimum under the new regime and it is expected that this will be only one of the savings which can be made under the consoldated manage ment. GALLOWAY URGES COOPERATION In view of the movement toward co-operation of fruit growers which has culminated successfully In Hood River Valley and because of the pro posed larger co-operation between the districts of the Northwest, the opinion of no less an authority than B. T. Galloway, acting secretary of the Department of Agriculture, will be of interest to local fruit growers. A local shipping concern recently wrote to Secretary Galloway asking if it was not possible to pass legisla tion to prevent commission men in the East from throwing fruit con signed to them onto the auction mar ket, buying it up themselves and selling it at a big profit to themselves and loss to the shipper. The follow ing reply was received: "In replying to yours of the 7th inst. enclosing a portion of a letter which you state is from a responsible fruit company in the Pacific Northwest, in which attention is called to the prac tice followed by some commission houses of bidding in at fruit auctions consignments made to the com mis ion houses, which shipments when purchased in this, way are subse quently handled by the original con signee to bis personal advantage, I would say that under existing condi tions shippers could only protect themselves against such a practice as this by being represented in the markets by their own agents with authority to 'sell either at auction or at private sale as the market condi tions would appear to favor at the time. "It is in this way that the Cali fornia fruit growers have solved this same question. Of course this involv es the perfecting of a large coopera tive marketing organization which can afford to maintain competent rep resentation In the important markets, so that the producers are actually in control of their product until it is fin ally disposed of to the retail trade. "Of course If agents selling con signed produce on commission were prohibited by statute from dealing in produce on their own account one troublesome feature referred to by your correspondent would probably be avoided and the consignee's tempta tion to speculate In the produce en trusted to him would be removed. "It does not, however, appear likely that any legislation can Insure the handling of the produce of a distant shipper effectvely and honestly in any automatic way. The interests of the shipper and the agent are not suffi ciently alike to accomplish this, and experience appears to fully establish the fact that shippers from points re mots from markets must organize suf ficiently to provide adequate atten tion to their Interests in the markets where their produce Is sold." This letter is an added testimonial to the results which can be expected from the Apple Growers" Association of Hood River, which has now been launched with every prospect for sue cess and service to the grower. A WORD FOR THE MERCHANT When your home merchant pre sents you with his bill do not allow the hair on your spine to rise like porcupine quills, and look as though you had been Insulted. The chances are he trusted you for the shirt on your back and the groceries to keep your family. Speak kindly to him who has accommodated you, for you know you like prompt pay in others A man whose temper rises to ninety degrees in a shade when asked for a just account, and feels his dignity has been trampled on is a good man not to trust. UNLESS YOU'RE INSURED An insurance company, anxious to preserve the life, property and happi ness of its patrons, says there are some things that a levelheaded hu man being should never do. Among these is to kindle a fire with kero sene oil, to walk on a railroad, to at tempt to get on a moving train, to point a gun or a revolver at another, to put his name on another man's note, to keep his savings in an old stocking under the bed, to play a game of chance with a prepossess ing stranger, to run for office when he has a paying position in private life, or to call a bigger man than himself a liar. APPROPOS OF HOUSECLEANING A great many young men whom the doctors advise to take long walks and exercise with dumb bells to re duce their avoirdupois, will stand around the house with their hands in their pockets while the little wife removes the tackg from the carpet, and then complain if she requests her lord to pull it out from under the stove while she lifts the stove. O, man, thou art certainly a humbug. NEWS NOTES FROM AROUNDTHE STATE In the line of public protest against the obstructive tactics being applied by H. J. Parkinson to the appropria tions made by the last legislature to the University of Oregon, the Oregon Society of Engineers is planning an excursion Saturday, May 17, to Eu gene and to the university. Following the lead of their fellow countrymen in California, Japanese of Clackamas county are organizing to urge a new treaty between Japan and the United States which will give them full rights of American clt .tnship. The movement is gaining strength, particularly since the Grange at Aurora recently adopted resolutions urging the government to bar Japanese from holding farm lands anywhere on the Coast. " The Eugene Guard reports the slaughter of a huge black timber wolf by Victor A. Miller of Vlda, who shot it as it was in hot pursuit of a deer. The animal killed was of a species rarely seen in that region. Mrs. Emma Badders, aged 40, com mitted Buicide by hanging herself in the hallway of her home at Willa mina. Ore. Her husband, G. M. Bad ders, a former blacksmith of Wllla mina, disappeared about two months ago with another woman. Mrs. Bad ders has since been very despondent, and it is supposed that she became mentally deranged.

WENATCHEE TO HOLD MEETINGTHIS WEEK Wenatchee growers this week hold their annual meeting and will decide whether or not to take part in the North Pacific Fruit Distributors' As sociatiou. It is said that there is a strong sentiment In favor of such ac tion, but there are also some who are opposed to entering the market ing combine this yeai The action which directors of the Apple Growers' Association of Hood River may take will depend consid erably upon the action taken by Wen atchee growers. It is the opinion here that the new marketing organization of the Northwest growers cannot be successful unless all the leading dis tricts join and Hood River is there fore waiting to see what action Wen atchee will take. A dispatch from North Yakima says that if the Wenatchee growers de cline to take part in the new organi zation it is thought there that the completion of plans for such an agency will be postponed for this year at least. Sufficient tonnage has been signed up with the proposed agency, it is claimed, to warrant it in going ahead, if tonnage alone were neces sary, but it Is felt that without the. united districts back of it, it would be inadvisable to make the effort. Members of the Northwestern Fruit Exchange were at North Yakima last week in conference with the officials of the Horticultural Union, in an at tempt to get them to sign up with the exchange this year, but officers of the union have announced that they would not contract to sell through the Northwestern Exchange this season. The exchange is now talking of establishing its own agency at that place. BIO SPRING GAME Spring Pishing -cat. Spring Cleaning FATHER .
