(To the palter ) We with to thank The Orfoniaa fr.r the stand It has taken on the P"M of the Porter bill concerning standard pack age, grading and marketing of aPP as exi.res.'cd In the editorial In last Thurs day's Oregonlan. At a nxectal meeting of our directors en that dar. reaolutlona were passed, of which w Inclose a copy, and aiiould ba pleased to have theaa resolutions published at an early ''"Thre I. one very Imnortant point In volved In this Porter bill, which eems to have escaped the notice of the fruitgrowers In general throughout the Northwest ter ritory, and this is Incorporated In Section 4 pertaining to grading, aa follows: "No. 1 grade and quality atiall consist of healthy, well-grown apples of one variety, sound, of not less than 21, Inches In diameter, and ef rood color for the variety; of normal eh.t. and not less than 90 per centum free from Klb, worm-holes, bruises and other defects, and properly packed." The sue mentioned. 2 i Inches In diam eter. Is a four-tier arple. and the Hood Ttlver Valley and other apple-growing sec tions throuKhout the Northwest have al ways packed perfect apples less than -'i Inches in diameter Into 4H-tler and B-tler Beck and labeled them "Fancy" or "N'o. 1 Orad'a." You will readily see that this pro powJ bill wilt eliminate all 4" and -tler aorlee from the fancy grade and class them as second grade fruit. This would work an incalculable hardship upon, the apple Industry throughout tie Pacific Northwest, as at least SS or cent of fancy fruit now hlrred East under the No. 1 or fancy grade. Is smaller than 21 Inches In dlam- "wi believe the passare of the bill referred to would be a severe blow to the apple In dustry in the Northwest- HOOD RIVER APPLEOROWERS" TjNTOV. Per H. M.

That the Hood River Ajiple Orowers" t'nlon representing 2.10 of the leading applecrnwers of Hood River alley. n,v9 most earnestly protest against the pas rajre bv the Congress of the United States 'f a bill known as the Porter bill. H. P.. "1 oO being a bill concerning "standard n.'rkaaes. grades and marking of apples. for the reasons hereinafter to be stated, as fThe"growers of Hood River Valley hare through long, diligent and Intelligent ef fort arrived at a aandard method of pack ing the apples grown In this vicinity; that th. present box used by the grwsrs In packing and shipping said apples has been found, through experience, to be the one best adapted for tills purpose, and enables the grower to maintain a uniformity and beauty In the arranging and packing of the fruit that cannot be had In any other sued box or parka-; that the adoption of a box of different dl-nenslons from that noe osea by the fruitgrowers of Hood River alley would entirely detroy the system of pack ing now In general uee by saJd growers; that It would require at least two years to rearrange and perfect. If possible, a pack adopted to- the !xs proposed In said kIII; that the adoption of a box of the dimen sions proposed In the Porter bill would cost the growers of the Northwest over l.oou. 0 annually, by reason of the disarrange ment of Its methods of long standing hicn have contributed most materially to tne high standard of Hood River apples, and by reason of the fact that the grower would be compelled to bear the loss of the sur plus fruit necessary to nil the bofc as Pro posed by the bill, without any additional compensation. . . That it Is Impossible for the grower to make the apples At the box. but that tne box must be shaped to fit the apple; that the box In present use by the growers in thl. valley Is the one exactly adapted to the fruit; .that there are now two boxes In general use by the packers and grower, of this vicinity, one containing ca?' Inches without sw'll In the center the other containing 2-''0 cubic Inches without a swell In the center; that the box of ea h class is given one-half Inch swell on each side, which adds 2uO cubic Inches to the dimensions above given, and that the con tents of each of said boxes therefore con tain a packing area largely In excess of the Winchester bu.h.l of 2150.4 cublo Inches, while the box proposed by the Por ter bill contains 254 cubic Inches. That the grades as provided In said bill would eliminate at least 85 per cent of the entire crop from being classed as fancy stock, which the markets of the world have heretofore accepted as sucn without ques tion, by reason of the elimination of sizes of apples le-s than 24 Inches In diame ter, which sixes constitute four and one-naic and 0e-lier apples. Be It Jurther Resolved. That a copy of this resolution be forthwith transmitted to the Serftltors and Representatives In Con gress from the State of Or-gon. with the earnest request of this association that every honorable effort be used to defeat the paesage of this bill. - Adopted by the Board of Directors of f .1 SUI ! i i i M, ' "i t ' .Ver-rr .

He Saya Commlsjiou Plan of Mu nicipal Government Provides for Better Control by People. Be-fore the People's Forum last night in Selllngr-Hlrsch Hall, the provisions of the, new charter were reviewed by Judge He-nry McGinn, chairman of the Charter Board. The speaker said that while the new charter was not perfect, he believed It, would meet the approval of the citizens of the city. He announced that the Board would soon conclude Us labors and the results would In the near future be sub mitted to th publio and he urged his hearers to consider the same carefully and thoughtfully. "It Is your duty," said Judge McGinn, "to understand Its contents thoroughly, to know the Jaw under which you live. It Is more Important in fact for you to know something about this charter than It Is to know about the constitution of the United State; for that Is at 'Wash ington, while the charter Is right here at home. "I am very glad that all the Commlav sloas have been abolished, save the Park and Library Commissions. I wish that these too might be disposed of, but It was finally decided that as theee two Commissions are maintained without ex pense to the city they could be retained. In all other respects, however, the Mayor and the men constituting the Commis sion are to do all the work of this city. We are not going to get perfect men. The man who becomes our Mayor is going to be, I think, as good as we are. We will get better results by turning things over to theso men and we can tell them that If their administration Is not satisfactory they will have to answer to the people. "Salaries are going to be pretty high. I for one shall not object to -that. Men who are holding responsible positions should be paid good salaries. They should, however, devote tlielr whole time to the city's business. They should have no other Interests. We hopo to have the charter completed in a few days. You all should consider it carefully. The day of the one-man power is gone. This is to be the people's charter. If It is not satisfactory, let us make it satisfactory, If It la not Just what you want vote it down and we will continue under our prese.nt charter until we find a better one. The trouble has been that we have had some one who knew more about municipal administration than we did. There should be an end to this. I know of no man who has labored on the charter w ho has rot done so disinter estedly. He has had the welfare of the city at heart forgotting his own business, overlooking his own welfare. I am in favor of the Commission system; I be lieve In placing the power In the hands of strong men and having the power near to the people." Following Judge McGinn's address, questions wtre offered regarding various matters pertaining to the new charter. K. R. Duntway asked if the charter could be adopted In rart. or If it must be adopted as a whole. Judge McGinn replied that this question had not been considered by the Board. He thanked Mr. Duniwsy for presenting the matter and suggested that It be submitted to the Board In writing. In answering other queries. Judge McGinn advised that it was the aim to do away with party tags and prejudices In selecting men for the Commission, that a man's qualifications only were to be considered.

One murder trial marks the criminal an nals of Washington County for the year 1908. Walter Montgomery Johnson, aged 2X years, and a resident of Portland, killed Elmer Perdue in the early morn ing of July 4, in a deserted cabin, near Timber, North Washington County, and robbed the body of $140 In cash and a watch. He was at once suspicioned of the crime, as he had been locating men on alleged timber claims for some weeks prior the killing. He was arrested ir Portland, and confessed to tho murder, but ever held to the statement that h killed in self-defense, after a quarrel, in which Perdue reached for his gun, saying "I'll get you." Johnson was tried at th December trm of Circuit Court, and notwithstanding he had able counsel, who made the most of the self-defense plea, the contention being that Johnson's rob bery of the dead man was committed, when the slayer was chaotic and under stress, Johnson was convicted of murder in the first degree, the Jury taking but two ballots. He was Immediately sen- tenced to be hanged, the date of the ex ecution being set by Judge McBride to take place on Friday, February 6. Early last Summer Quong Lee, a Forest Grove Chinaman shot and killed Clyde Wilson, a roistering young man of 23 years.

The prosecuting attorney evidently concludes there is not a very strong case against the defendant, for he is out on $1000 ball. By many it is believed to have been justiciable homi cide.
