Orvffoo. uruW the Act of March a. 17 SATURDAY'S MASS MEETING A masbineeting of growers hag betu tailed fur Saturday to give final con virieration to the question of shipping through the North Pacific Distributors this year. On two or three previous occasions local grower have express ed themselves in favor of the move ment. This, however, was when It was believed that all the principal districts of the Northwest, W'enatchee Included, would ally themselves with the organization. W'enatchee has de clined to do so this season and a new phase is placed upon the matter as a consequence. The directors of the Distributors at first contemplated sus pending operations this year. They have been urged, however, by several districts which have already pledged their crops for the present year to go ahead without Wenatchee. The direc tors have been canvassing th situa tion carefully ana win reach some .conclusion at their meeting Saturday morning. They will then know defi nitely what proposition to submit to the massmeeting in th afternoon and it Is urged that there be a represents live garnering in order mat all may become thoroughly acquainted with the proposition and act upon ft. Intelli gently. WENATCHEE FOOLING HERSELF Wenatchee prefers to paddle her own canoe this year rather than join the North Pacific Distributors. This action has seriously Interfered with the plans of the other Northwest dis tricts to secure cooperative marketing and the Yakima Daily Republic has the following to say about Wen atchee's action: The Wenatchee appleg rowers were finally deterred from going Into the general Northwestern organization by the plea of some of their jingoes that with Wenatchee apples so much bet ter than any others produced on the face of God's earth they couldn't af ford to lose their Identity. If they mixed their stuff up with the truck produced by other districts they would lose the splendid reputation which they have because they are es pecially favored by nature and have advertised widely. In a little while they would sink to the level of Yaki ma and Hood River, where apples are all wormy, and where they seldom grow larger than hickory nuts. The Wenatchee people are engaged in one of the most thankless enter prises in the world. They are fooling themselves. Wenatchee apples are no better than those of other .Northwestern fruit districts. At any rate, If they are, nobody knows it. Wherever they have been exhibited In competition with Yakima, Hood River, Rogue Riv er and other Southern Idaho apples they have taken their share of the prizes and no more. They say the m time never will come w hen we can't sell our best Northwestern apples. We note that Wenatchee failed to sell her 1912 crop, although the Yakima and Hood River crops have all been work ed off, and we observe further that the Wenatchee apples which were sold did not bring as high prices in the discrimnatng markets of the world last year as did those produced in either of the other districts. It doesn't pay to fool one's self. The reasons why Wenatchee fruit growers should Join their Northwest ern brethern in the attempt to pre vent unnecessary competition among themselves are Just as strong as those which have impelled Yakima and Mood River men to try to organize. As the size of the Northwestern out put increases these reasons will con tinue to bear down on all alike. The movement for co-operation is a nece nary one, and eventually Wenatchee fruitmen will cut out the flubdub and get down to business with the rest of us. Jack Johnson must go to the pen. How are the mighty fallen! Yet John son Is to be pitied rather than blamed. He was dragged out of honest obscur ity to pander to the brutal tastes of the white sports. If he has learned the lessons of brutality, cupidity ard the like all too well, he is not so much to blame as the men who exploited him for revenue. So long aa Jack Johnson could make money for the port promoters his sins were over looked. Wlien he ceased to be a drawing card there were none so low as to do him reverence. One of Hood River's greatest abseti i her beauty. You can add to that axet by keeping your place neat and the lawn well trimmed. A well-trim-ined lawn and a well painted house will give a better Impression than a place which cost twice aa much If the latter has a run-down look. 1 OF INTEREST TO SPORTSMEN I Hood River has many attractions (for the sportsman. These have been a. valuable asset in the past, while they promise to be a still grea'cr ad vantage in the future when Hood River Valley becomes a famous recre ation ground. An important undertaking looking towards the preservation of the Hood River as a fishing stream was lit-gun this week with the damming of the river in oroVr to divert the mouth back Into its old channel. This is done in order to permit the fish to ascend more readily than has been possible since the river was turned into the Columbia at right angles. The work of opening up the old chan nel has already been completed through aid of The state and city. It is now stated that the Commercial Club committee which is in charge of the work will not have sufficient funds with which to complete the dam un less assisted by local subscriptions. No doubt there are many local sports men who will be glad to contribute to this cause, the more, so on account of the importance of the project. The state has been doing much to preserve fish and game in Hood River county during the past couple of years and it is only proper that local sportsmen should co-operate in the completion of this undertaking. THE CHAUTAUQUA Arrangements are being made for the Horticultural Chautauqua this year and the prospects are bright for an even more entertaining and help ful occasion than last season. The executive committee has been fortun ate in securing the services of so able a manager as Mr. Ravlin and the success of the Chautauqua is thereby insured. Here is an event which pro mises to become one of the most de lightful of Hood River's institutions. In it are combined almost unlimited possibilities for a pleasant summer outing, rest, recreation, profit and an intermingling of Hood River people which is bound to do much towards promoting an excellent community spirit. At the same time it is an attraction for non-residents who are interested here, giving them an op portunity to get In touch with the Hood River spirit under the most fav orable circumstances. By all means the Chautauqua is deserving of every support and encouragement. PORTLAND'S STAMPEDE Down in Portland these days the woods are full of candidates for city offices. They have been breaking out of the timber in all directions and right now it looks as though they had the unsuspecting citizens of the Rose City at their mercy. Portlanders are undergoing their first experience with the commission form of government and everybody from the iceman to the janitor is running for a berth as com missioner. The situation is hardly dignified, in fact it is almost ludi crous to the outsider, and it may be a fair question to ask whether the citizens of Portland will not find it a more difficult matter to secure hon est and efficient officials under tht commission form of government as now in force than under the old meth od. Judging from newspaper reports it is a case of where many are called but few are chosen and the proverbial needle in the haystack may not be harder to find than the best qualified candidates among the heterogeneous crowd who have heard the call. NEW MARRIAGE REQUIREMENT After June 3 some new restrictions will be thrown about the marriage ceremony in this state. In the past there have been few if any restric tions upon this sacrament but with the changed social conditions the need for strict requirements as regards th health of the contracting parties has become more evident. The church was the first to propose some such ac tion but sentiment there was not strong enough to put it into effect. Now the state of Oregon has under taken to place a needed restriction up on the ceremony. The new law' re quires that after the third of next month no county clerk in the state can issue a marriage license until the man applying for it shall present a certificate from a regular practising physician showing that he has been examined and declared physically fit to enter the marriage relation. In these days when the tendency Is, especially in the Went, to allow great freedom on Sunday, the effort of the Upper Valley people to keep the day free from sports will be watched with interest. They would make Saturday a half holiday when bull games are to be played, thereby removing the ex cuse that Sunday is the only day for ihese sports. The presentation of that successful and thoroughly humorous comedy "A Uox of .Monkeys." w pi. rented by the Upper Valley amateurs will be sure to be one of the features of the Chau tauqua this bit in tf i -r.

UNDERWOOD WOMEN ENTERTAIN CLUB On Thursday ihe local Woman's Clrb was entertained by the Under wood Club at the Cioddard summer home on Underwood Heights. When they reached the landing they found the barge gaily decorated with mini ature evergreen trees, bright flowers and a banner reminding them that in Washington women's votes were as giKxl as men's. Although there were over titty latlu'g on Doaru tliere was pleu'y of room in the carriages and auios which met them at the Under wood landing and conveyed them around the loop where they could see the orchards of Underwood and the beautiful Hood River Valley in th distance. A delightful luncheon was served by the ladies, proving conclus ively that although women are be coming more and more interested in civic affairs we still believe that it is in the home as hostess that wo man's chief charm lies. Wednesday, the 21st., occurred th annual meeting ot tne iioou Kiver Woman's Club. After a short niusi cal program the following officers were installed: President, Mrs. Charles Castner, first vice president, Mrs. Ali da Shoemaker; second vice president, Mrs. J. K. Ferguson; secretary, Mrs. George Thompson ; financial secretary, Mrs. H. M. Huxley; treasurer. Mrs. Kent Shoemaker. The outlook is very bright for an in teresting and profitable year in the club.
