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

Grange at Aurora recently adopted
resolutions urging the government to
bar Japanese from holding farm lands
anywhere on the Coast. "

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.

MOOD RIVLR,
SUNDAY MOTHER'S DAY
Next Sunday, May 11, Is Mother'
Day; white flowers for mother's mem
ory, bright flowers for mothers living.
One brave little woman In our broad
laud
In a quiet gentle way.
Picked out a date and set It down
As being Mother's Day.
There are always some scoffers'round
Who dearly love to jeer.
They say "Why one day set aside,
We've mothers all the year."
Yes, so we have, they are quite right
And that's the very reason
We need a gentle waking up.
For May is mother's season.
In song, in story and In poem,
We hear thep raises rung
Of heroes of great deeds and small.
In each and every tongue.
And do we regret oftimes
Those heroeg cannot know
We hold them in such reverence
Admire and love them so?
Are not our mothers oft as great
In life's hereoic birth.
Can we do less than show them then,
We realize their worth?
This is a whirling busy world
But take this one small part,
And show your mother on that day
The love within your heart.
For can you honestly believe
'Twill answer up above,
"Today I was so busy I
Why I forgot to love."
So just remember on May e'eventh
It is your mother's day.
White flowers soften graves grown
hard,
Bright flowers cheer life's way.
The reduction of the duty on mir
rors is expected to reflect favorably
on the Democratic tariff.
