HOOD RIVER. Or.. Jan. S7. (Spe
cial.) With the largest number of
Hood River fruitgrowers ever gath
ered la one body present today to re
ceWe the report of the committee re
cently appointed to Investigate the
methods of the Northwestern Fruit
Exchange and to discuss the proposed
plan of combining the districts of
Wenatehee. Rogue River and Hood
River for the purchase of a controlling
stock In the exchange, action was
taken which, while It may not lead to
an affiliation with the Portland
agency, undoubtedly will result In a
closer relationship between the selling
unions of the different communities.
The presentation of the "Ros-ue Riv
er plan." as the proposed combination
method Is called, has created a wide
spread art tat ion among; the Hood River
fruitgrowers and meetlns have been
held In various parts of the valley this
week In order to secure definite data
on methods of selling and distribution.
It has been the sole topic of conver
sation and not only were a-rowera pres
ent but the greater number of the
city's business men.
ITarsaeay See at M retina.
The meetlnar was characterised by
harmony, all minds bent on the Idea of
co-operation In selling between the
principal f rult-ralslnr centers. After
addresses by K. 8. Miller, manager of
the Rogue River Valley Fruit and Pro
duce Association, and W. F. Gwln. of
the Northwestern Exchange, and a re
port of the board of directions of the
union read by C H- Fproat, acting on
a resolution, a committee composed of
W. B. Dlckerson. P. S. Davidson and
Truman Butler, respectively, a director
of the union, an independent shipper
and business man of the city, as pro
vided for by the resolution, was ap
pointed to meet about February 15.
with similar committees from the other
two districts and seek the means of
bringing the two. communities Into
closer relationship in the selling of
their apples.
It la planned that the different com
mittees report back their findings
about March 1.
The Northwestern Fruit Exchange."
said H. K- Ferguson, a member of the
Investigating committee, -with Its af
filiations In the past seems to me the
very thing that we desire. It offers
the best means for settling our selling
difficulties of which I know.'
The report of the board of directors
stated that while Its Investigating com.
mlttee had found the home office of
the Northwestern Fruit Exchange In
the most admirable condition and that
Its buslnsss was conducted In the most
honest manner, information as to Its
relations with the North American Ex
change was Indefinite, as was that
with respect to the stability, efficiency
and responsibility of that selling
agency.
Cray May Be lvOOOtOO Boxes.
"Assuming." continued the report,
-that our crop for this year will reach
1.000.00s boxes and that we will sell
several hundred thousand through
the exchange, paying It at the estab
lished rate of 10 cents per box. the
sum Is so collosal that we deem
the matter of such Importance as
to bear further deep consideration.
But we would call your attention to
the fact that it Is of vital Importance
that we move toward some concerted
plan of sales and distribution." -
A resolution unanimously adopted
read:
-We favor some comprehensive sell
ing agency among the box apple dl
tructs of the Northwest. "
The northwestern Fruit Exchange
has offered to submit Its selling ma
chinery to the unlona of the three dis
tricts on trial, by allowing them op
tions on the controlling stock for a
year. The concern has an authorised
capital slock of 1100. OuO; 0.000 of this
has been subscribed, of which SO per
cent has been assessed and paid up.

minds of the citizens of Raymond as
to the productiveness of the soil of Pa

Josephine Politics Moving.
GRANTS PASS. Jan. 17. (Special.)
A movement In politics has begun in Jo

be circulated for public office are thoss
of Justice Eakln of the Supreme Court,
which arrived here today. Under the
new precinct order latery made by the
County Court the city is divided Into
four precincts, which makes It an easy
task to-circulate and get the required
amount of registered voters without
having to run Into tne country.
get your tongue acquainted so you'll
know how to Introduce the word. It
goes like this: Mon-ta-ma'-ra Fes'-to,
with the "o" In Mon pronounced like
the "o" in only, and the "a" in "Ma"
pronounced like the "a" la "father."
It's simon-pure Esperanto the Interna,
tlonal language and means: "A festi
val frolic where the sea and mountains
meet." That, of course, meana Tacoma.
and what has been said means that Ta
coma's big annual play week, corre-spond..:-
to Portland's Rose Show, New
Orleans' Mardl Gras and Seattle's Pot
latch, will be known as Montamara
Festo.
The new Tacoma Carnival Association
told the secret today, after weeks of
hard study and Investigation, during
which thousands of letters containing
thousands of suggested names were
opened and examined. But there Is still
more to the name than has been ex
plained. When you say Montamara
Festo. it will not only signify a Summer
festival, but tt will signify dates a
whole week of dates beginning always
on June 30 and ending with midnight
of the 4th of July, and always In Ta
coma, by Tacoma and of Tacoma. Mon
tamara Festo will mean Tacoma just as
much aa Mardl Gras means New Or
leans, or Mummers' Parade means Phil
adelphia or Durbar means DehlL
Portland Mea Consulted.
Speaking of the name, and the plans
of the Tacoma Carnival Association,
President A. B. Howe, who spent the
past week In Portland, seeking carnival
hints and conferring with Rose Festi
val officials, aald:
The officers and committees of the
association feel that Montamara Festo
Is a name that will Instantly find popu-
1 favor and that tt is one which will
readily lend itself to distinctive adver
tising and publicity. Thousands of
names were suggested and a very large
number of them were excellent, but the
committee had first In mind some title
that would be absolutely new, altogeth
er unique, thoroughly dignified and yet
thoroughly Tacoman. This, we believe,
has been done.
"Just a word as to these events. One
thing, only. In aditlon to the name,- has
thus far been definitely decided. Mon
tamara Festo will begin on Sunday,
June SO, with a sacred concert In the
Stadium and end with a grand display
of fireworks in the Stadium the -night
of July 4. Further than that the pro
gramme haa not been determined, and
It will be a few days yet before It will
be. although it Is aimed to work out
the full programme as soon as possible
In order that all possible publicity may
be given It.

The first motor truck to cross the continent entirely under
its own power. Left New York July -8th; reached San
Francisco August 24th. Carried a 3-ton load all the way.
This is a remarkable demonstration of the stamina and capability of the Packard
truck under every conceivable condition of hauling. The trip is one that has been
accomplished by only a very few automobiles. The venture has been regarded as
virtually out of the question for a heavy truck.
It was easily within the ability of the Packard truck because both Packard
trucks and Packard cars are built to surmount difficulties much greater than they
encounter in actual service.
Their margin of efficiency is your margin of safety in purchasing Packards for
whatever purpose.
