Health Board Plans Fight to
Down Tuberculosis.
North Pacific Fruit Distribu-
tors Prepare to Handle
This Year's Crop.
CAMPAIGN WILL BE WIDE
SEASONABLE SALES AIM
Trade Connections Are Designed to
Reach Every City and Town In
Country and Eventually to .
Meet Foreign Demand.
The North Pacific Fruit Distributers,
a co-operative organization composed
of Northwest fruitgrowing associations.
Is making- arrangements to market
this year's crop of apples. Trade con
nectlons are being: made to supply
every city and town in the United
States, and plans are also being made
to supply tne foreign markets.
H. F. Davidson, of Hood River, presl
dent of the North Pacific Fruit Dls
trlbuters, has Issued an announcement
of the plans of the association. In part
they are;
Thorough Organization Aim.
'Since opening up the offices In
Spokane, the North Pacific Fruit Dis
tributers have made trade connections
with a large number of the strongest
fruit firms In the United States, and
we propose to be thoroughly represent
ed In every section 'and large center
east, north, south and west, and I
think that by the time this year's ap
pie season closes It can be said that the
fruit distributed by the distributers
association has been consumed In every
city and hamlet In the United States,
In addition to our trade connections in
this country, we are arranging for the
very best of trade connections abroad.
"It will be the policy of the dis
tributers to fix a reasonable price for
all fruit at the season that It should
be marketed and consumed. As soon
as the early Fall apples are ready for
market tne price will be made suffl
ciently attractive to assure the mov
Ing of the crop in Its right season and
to stimulate the largest possible con
sumption. It will be our aim to en
courage the buyers to purchase the dif
ferent varieties of fruit in their season
while their flavor and qualities are at
their best and when they can go into
consumption at the proper time of
tnelr ripening stage, and thus give the
nignest results to the consumer.
Care Heretofore Lacking.
"I do not think that the proper care
nas oeen exercised, heretofore, tav anv
of the fruit growing sections to place
ine iruit into consumption in its prime
season. Jonathans has been marketed
In March instead of November and
Arkansas Blacks In November instead
of March, and so on down the list.
When the consumer eats an apple that
Is sold to him out of Its season he
usually takes a few bites and throws
it away and buys no more for. a long
time, Dut wnen the consumer gets an
apple sold to him in its season he eats
tt down to the core and follows with
one or two more, and soon. "Whatever
stimulates consumption creates . de
mand, and demand builds up ' the
market. j
"Several months before the apple!
crop of last season began to move, one
of the largest shipping organizations
in the . Northwest stored vast quanti
ties of apples In Eastern storage which
were to be sold on the commission
basis ' and which mad it Impossible
to sell apples In large quantities at a
straight sales price except at ridicu
lously low figures that would not be
remunerative to the growers. It is
reported that the amount of fruit to
be handled by that organization this
season will not be 50 per cent of that
handled lust year and though it should
follow out the policy of last year, it
will have little effect upon . the apple
situation ..this season.
"The Indications are that there will
be a, good demand for all first class
fruit this season, at good profits. I
desire to state . that the trade has
'soured' on the C grade and this grade
can only be marketed where freight
charges are small, as it must neces
sarily sell for a low orice. Thin cra.de
of fruit must be prepared for market
in the cheapest possible form so as to
save to the grower as much as pos
sible of the cost of production.
Jobbers Practice Shown.
w nen apples are placed In the
hand's of Jobbers on consignment to
be sold on commission, the jobber has
no investment In the fruit he is sell
log excepting freight .charges, and con
sequently has no interest In main
taining fair values, but rather makes
his largest profits by moving large
quantities, wnich can best be accom
pusnea at low prices. Hence the
temptation to reduce the price on the
goods that he has to sell without loss
to himself, in order to induce the
buyer to increase the order, which
means an additional number of boxes
on which he secures his additional 10
cents per box. If he can persuade
tne Buyer to take BOO boxes at $1.50
. per box Instead of 250 boxes at $1.75
per box, he has doubled his profits on
the single transaction by the cut of
25 cents per box on the fruit. This
all means a loss to the grower, who 1
the owner of the fruit. This Is one of
,the ruinous methods to the fruit in
dustry and the Distributors plan to
steer clear of this method of doing
business.
"What the Distributors plan to do
is to xorce tne widest possible dlstri
button of the products. All handlers
of the fruit In a given district or terri
tory win be fully protected and all will
De given tne same opportunity of pur
chase.
I may say that the Distributors
.have about 60 per cent of the apples
of the Northwest signed and there are
a number of districts that are making
application lor animation which will
add largely to tne tonnage. already se
cured."
GUN T0TERS' ARE WARNED
Judge Stevenson Sees Xo Excuse for
Carrying Revolvers.
"Gun toters" will receive their Just
oue wnen brought before Judge Stev
enson of the Municipal Court. The
Judge stated his views on this kind of
crime yesterday when James Carter,
from Canby, Or.,' came before him on
the charge of carrying concealed wea
pons. "There is no excuse for any man
carrying a revolver," said the Judge.
"If any man Is in danger he can ob
tain protection from the police."
Carter was arrested by Detective
Coleman and brought before Judge
Stevenson. He was allowed to go. He
is a ranruao xoreman and maintained
that while in the camps, it was neces
sary for him to carry a revolver as
I. W. W.'s had often threatened his
life.

Medical Men Oppose Establishing
Frledmann Institutes in Oregon
X'ntll Alleged Cure Has Had
More Thorough Test.
'The campaign against "the white
plague' undertaken by Oregon will be
more thorough than anything of Its
kinj ever attempted by any. state, says
Dr. Calvin S. White In speaking of the
campaign of the State Board of Health
to stamp out the disease.
At the last meeting of the Boam,
held Tuesday afternoon, final plans
were made for the campaign.
Several thousand small hand cards,
which carry the message of treatment
from the state medical officers, have
been printed. As soon as the State
Board learns of a white plague victim
be will be sent one of these cards.
When a tubercular patient dies or
moves, the house or apartment he -Oc
cupied will be placarded with yellow
signs which are now on hand. These
will remain until the disinfection of
the place, has been carried out to the
satisfaction of the officials.
Landlords to Be Instructed.
It will be unlawful for anyone to
occupy the rooms until the placard Is
removed. The property owner of the
premises will receive a notice from the
officials immediately upon the removal
of the patient, telling him exactly what
must be done to. satisfy the demands of
Hits new measures.
Where paper covers the walls, It will
have to be removed entirely before new
can be placed. All woodwork must be
painted -over and all floors thoroughly
scrubbed.
Friends of consumptives or of those
supposed to have the disease will be
supplied with liberal Information by
the Board. Those treating tuberaulosis
will receive Instruction as to the best
methods to pursue.
Frledmann Institutes Opposed.
The Board also took a decided stand
against the establishment of the pro
posed - Frledmann' Institutes In - this
state. An opinion has been asked from
the Attorney-General as to how far
the State Board can control their es
tablishment.
"We will do everything possible
against- their gaining foothold in this
state," says Dr. White. State Health
Officer. "We will oppose them until
we have sufficient evidence the "cure
is effective,"
The report of Dr. Andraw C. Smith,
Oregon delegate to the National and
Provincial convention at Philadelphia,
was also heard at that meeting. The
convention took steps to learn how
many consumptives of the acute type
were carried each year by the railroads.
Different boards will endeavor to de
vise means for protecting the traveling
public.
JLr. smith's report also said that nasal
and throat cavities offer entrance to
the cerebro spinal meningitis and epi
demics of the disease can be prevented
by the use of a mild disinfectant.

comprises about 18.000 acres In North
ern Mexico. Mr. McCoy made a
thorough investigation of the title of
the tract.
"I have been asked about this land,"
said Mr. McCoy, "and from my Inves
tigations I would advise all to be care
ful about purchasing any of It, for I
am convinced that the title offered
here is not genuine, and that only Mrs.
M. .1. Adams owns the tract. There is
a man in the county Jail for selling
tracts from this land, and I am in
formed that others are offering It for
sale here."

Fully S000 people were in attendance
at the annual field day maneuvers of
the Oregon National Guard troops of
Multnomah County held at the Clacka
mas rifle range, Clackamas station, on
Friday. July 4.
Three special trains from Portland
carried the throng. At the grounds
there was a sham battle, consisting
of a frontal attack, which afforded the
militiamen valuable experience.
The opposing sides were commanded
by Majors Bowman and Smith. Lieu
tenant Randall and Captain Welch
were in charge of the artillery, while
Captain Brown headed the Coast Ar
tillery. Corps. Volleys of rifle fire and
roar of artillery gave the battle a re
alistic touoh which thrilled both com
batants and spectators.
Following the "battle" there was a
field and track meet and & basket pic
nic. Music was supplied throughout
the day by the band of the Coast Ar
tillery Corps.
Polish Celebrants Make Mistake.
NEWPORT. Or.. July 6. (Special.)
An effort to express loyalty to their
adopted country by members of a Pol
ish settlement near the mouth of the
Slletz River almost gave the Yaquina
Bay lifesaving crew a long pull for
nothing. By mistake they hoisted an
American . flag upside down on a tall
pole erected for the Fourth of July.
Somebody down the beach saw the flag
thus displayed and mistook it for a dis
tress signal from the mast of a ship
gone on the beach and telephoned to
the lifesaving station. A hasty inves
tigation prevented embarrassment to
the celebrants. -
