Effect of Organization Also Is
Xotcd In State Legislation on
Port of Portland.
Long disregarded. Eastern Oregon
is coming to the front politically and
is playing an important role. For
merly western Oregon monopolized the
offices, almost exclusively, but there
is now a steady movement under way
by which Eastern Oregon la a factor
to be reckoned with. The advantage
the Eastern egon politicians have
over those n the western side of
the mountains is team work. They
stick together and pull for their own
section. There are rivalries and po
litical jealousies existing in the East
ern Oregon ranks, but when it comes
to considering their section as
whole, personalities are forgotten,
Eastern Oregon achieved a United
States senator when R. X. Stanfleld
was elected, for Mr. Stanfleld is es
sentially an Eastern Oregon man not-
-withstandlng that he recently estab
li&hed a residence In Multnomah
county. Then came Roy W. Kltner's
election as president of the state
senate, by virtue of which position he
is heir presumptive to the guberna
torlal chair in the event of the dis
ability of the incumbent.
Letrialatlon I Affected.
When the port of Portland bills
were in the senate, at the recent leg
islature, the TSaEtern Oregon sena
tors manipulated the situation until
they succeeded in having W. L.
Thompson and Thomas Mahoney
elected on the commission. While
Messrs. Thompson and Mahoney are
now residents of Portland, they are
actually Eastern Oregon men and
their selection on the commission was
the outcome of team work by their
Eastern Oregon friends in the legis
lature. In reapportioning the legislative
districts of the state, the progranyne
was conceived and carried out by
the Eastern Oregon bunch in the
Fenate and house, working in unison
This group firat managed to obtain
control of the special committee ap
pointed to handle this subject and
won most of its points. The Bection
to reap benefits from the reappor
tionment bill, as finally passed, was
Eastern Oregon, although Multnomah
county was given a slight conces
sion. This programme was handled by
Senators Dennis and Robertson and
Representatives Burdick and Gal
lagher, all from eaBt of the Cascades,
aided by President Ritner and Sen
ator Upton, also from that section.
Kntrenchment Is Increased. '
Eastern Oregon, through the reap
portionment bill, will be more
strongly entrenched in the 1923 ses
sion than ever before. This means
It w-ill be in a better position to put
through what it wants next time.
Formerly Eastern Oregon had one
man, Marlon Jack, on the fish and
game commission. On the new com
mission it has M. A. Lynch, of Red
mond, and Blain Hallock, of Baker,
a gain of 100 per cent
With the new line-up, more con
fidence has cometo Eastern Oregon.
An outgrowth of this is the appear
ance In the field of an applicant for
every big federal appointment in the
state, and occasionally a couple of
applicants for the same Job. Sen
ator Stanfield Ib expected to keep a
weather eye open for the fortunes
of his old-home constituents.
J. II. Peare Geta Support.
For collector of Internal revenue,
Eastern Oregon Is backing J. H
I'eare, of La Grande, against Clyde
G. Huntley, of Oregon City, and any
other contender who may aspire to
this place. For United States mar
shal. Eastern Oregon has Al Roberts,
of Pendleton, and Asa Thomson, ot
Echo. As gossip goes, Thomas will
be appointed if the Job goes outside
of Multnomah county. P. J. Gal
lagher, of Ontario, and former Sen
ator Hurley of Vale, each wants to
be United States attorney. Both are
close friends of Senator Stanfield.
Francis Toomey, mentioned for
United States surveyor-general, is to
all Intents and purposes an Eastern
Oregon man, as he was born in The
Dalles and lived there for many
years. Mr. Toomey Is an overseas
service man. And so it goes, with
Eastern Oregon bobbing up all along
the line.
The interesting feature is this. The
grip which Western Oregon has held
politically on the state is being
loosened and Eastern Oregon Is de
manding its full share of patronage
and recognition. Also it Is deter
mined to get it.

RECALL RIGHT DOUBTED
Place on Ballot at Special Election
Is Moot Question.
SALEM, Or., March 12. (Special.)
Doubt was expressed by attorneys
here today as to the legality of link
ing the recall of Fred A. Williams,
member of the Oregon public service
commission, with the special election
to be held throughout the state on
June 7.
These attorneys declared that the
June election was authorized in a
law enacted by the legislature at its
recent session, and specifically set
out that measures and constitutional
amendments approved by the law
makers and referred to the voters
should have a place on the ballot.
The construction of the law calling
the election, attorneys said, pre
cludes placing any recall measure on
the ballot.

Co-operative Sales Agency Reports
Xext to Record In Receipts
From Growers' Crops.
HOOD RIVER, Or.. March IS.
(Special.) According to the annual
report of General Manager Stone at
the primary meeting of the Apple
Growers' association, called today for
the purpose of nominating candidates
for a directorate of 11, the co-operative
sales agency did a total business
of $2,176,839.11 for the. year ending
May SI, 1921, a number of Items for
the period March 1 to May 31 being
estimated. This volume was only ex
ceeded the year immediately preced
ing, when the district harvested a rec
ord -crop which sold at high prices,
theotal having reached $3,738,788.01.
.Returns oi tne past year were item
ised by Mr. Stone as follows: Stores,
$425,000; apples, $1,600,000; strawber
ries $296,967.86; pears. $91,031.79;
cherries, $48,031.68; raspberries,
$273.31; loganberries, $764.63; prunes
and plums, $29.04; blackberries,
$397.84; crabapples, $339.76: quinces. I
$3.26; and Ice, $l6,uuu. Mr. atone
stated that no decrease has been ap
parent In the proportion of fruit han
dled from the valley the past season
by the association. The co-operative
organization's total revenues the past
year will reach $242,000. the chief item
being $105,000 collected for handling
charges. The total expense reached
$212,000, the greatest item being rep
resented by $60,000 spent for cold
storage expense. v
Invested Capital, S332.345.
The report ahows that the sales or
ganisation has an invested capital of
$332,345, itemised as follows: Pur
chasing fund, $164,098; building fund,
$163. 3s2, and membership fund, $4855.
In a comment on the object of accu
mulation of capital and equipment,
Mr. Stone said:
"With the free use of this Invested
capital it is absolutely Impossible for
any private concern to furnish the
(growers the same service that is fur
nished by the association at anywhere
near the same cost. It Is a matter of
fact that the average cost for every
box of apples we cold-storage outsido
of Hood River costs us more per box
than for all the service we render at
Hood River. We passed the peak of
our requirements for invested capital
last year. This year we will pay all
but $15,000 on- the plant of the Na
tional Apple company, purchased for
$65,000, and the same Indebtedness
will remain against the plants of the
old Hood Kiver Apple Growers' union,
bought for $108,000, exclusive of a
water power system.
In proportion as we continue to
reduce the purchase price of property
bought will our requirements for this
purpose decrease and also our cost
to members of doing business."
Improvement Are Recounted.
At. Stone detailed a large list of
Improvements that have been made
by the association, the chief of which
wi3 the construction of a two-story
upplis warehouse in the city. Three
cottages have been built for em
ployes. An old wooden pipe, used in
conveying- water of a power system
frcm a reservoir on the heights to the
city level, was replaced with an iron
main. This material Improvement,
according to Mr. Stone, will relieve
danger of flooding the city from a
possible bursting of. the old pipe.
The association the past year
handled a tota'. of 1,052,969 packages
of fruit, apples leading vitti 942,458
boxes. Last year the agency sold 1.-
322,2" boxea of apples and a total
of 1,460,649 packages of all kinds of
fruit. But 57 per cent of the apple
crop as yet has been accounted for,
and the average, net to the associa
tion, price per box has been $1.60.
In discussing the price, Mr. Stone
said:
With 43 per cent of the crop yet to
be paid for, we cannot make any defi
nite estimate as to the amount of
fruit yet unpaid, with the exception
that we are reasonably sure the final
returns will be somewhat more than
on the fruit paid for up to the present
time.
Smaller Slses, Lower Averaare.
The average price received for the
1919 season's crop was $1.98; for 1920,
$1.60. There are three factors which
fairly offset the .difference in price
of these two years. The proportion
of better grades for 1919 and the pro
portion of smaller sizes in 1920, plus
the extra amount paid for transporta
tion, would, in my estimat'on, easily
overcome the difference in prices. In
other words, if the grade and size of
the fruit in 1920 had been the same
as in 1919 and the railroad freight
rates had remained the ' same, we
would have received practically as
much for our fruit. In fairly consid
ering the matter, we must bear in
mind that the average price we re
ceived for our fruit last year was
higher than we had ever received be
fore in the history of the association
and for at least the nine years last
past."
Mr. Stone also cited that the large
crop of the east last year, the largest
in the history of'the apple business,
had a depressing effect on the minds
of buyers. He also declared the in
crease of 22 to 2a cents per box In
freight charges tended to lower prof
its. Except for Newtowns. Mr. Stone
said, European prices have been satis
factory. The cotton gtates.-he declared,
have taken practically no apples this
year.
