Spokane, Wash., Deo. SO. Based on
reports of the 191$ experience of fruit
growers of the Spo'uKo country, applo
producers of the four Pa ilfic northwest
em states will save nearly $190,000 by
purchasing apple boxes cooperatively
next year. Orris Dorm an, president of
the Spokane Fruit Growers" company, a
cooperative selling' organisation, states
that his association last season pur
chased boxes for cents a box, sav
ing from X to 234 cents on each, or about
20 per cent. If two cents per box Is
saved by cooperative buying, the grow
ers will have to pay f 100,000 less for
boxes than if they purchased Individ
ually. "We do not claim the makars
charged too much for boxes before,"
states Mr. Dorman, "as-under the meth
ods of bad collections they were obliged
always to figure on a long wait for
their pay and In some cases they were
never paid. They have told us that they
prefer selling to a well financed organ
ization, even if the price is 20 per cent
lower,., than to an Individual."

promptly supply all markets that are

These were the vital considerations
which, after extended Investigation, led
the Rogue River Fruit & Produce as
sociation to affiliate itself with the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange; of Port
land; though it was perhaps natural
that an association with the temper and
ideals of the Rogue River Fruit & Prod

against a purely cooperative marketing

The Northwestern Fruit Exchange
represents an attempt in the larger

might realize from their investment in

to become a stockholder.
lg Belling Organisation.
The Northwestern Fruit Exchange Is
associated with the North American
Fruit Exchange, n association of care
fully selected expert salesmen organ
ised along quasi cooperative lines. This
latter association has more than 100
members located In all the Important
fruit markets of the United States and
Canada. They sell the various fruits fn
their season. The Northwestern Ex
change enjoys their exclusive service In
the sale of northwestern fruits. Dur
ing the northwestern fruit season each
member of the Nortli American Fruit

and an employe of the Northwestern
Fruit Exchange. Every car of fruit
shipped by the Northwestern Is offered

The growers of the Rogue River val
ley, who are shipping through tho
Rogue River Fruit & Produce associa
tion believe, after careful investigation.
that this selling service of the North
western Fruit Exchange Is the most ef
ficient and thorough that is available
at this time, and It in a service which
costs the shipper no more than that of
the broker or commission merchant.
Markets Are Widened.
The efforts of the Northwestern Fruit
Exchange to broaden distribution havo
been persistent and signally successful.
It has, this year, sold large quanti
ties of Rogue river fruit in South Af
rica, in South America, in Australia.
and in almost every country of Europe.
It instituted, tnis season, the first in
telligent advertising campaign in the
history of the apple industry a enm-
Falgn planned not for one year, but
or all time planned as a great manu
facturer of a food specialty plans an
advertising campaign.
Best of all, the growers of the Rogun
river valley feel that the Northwestern
Fruit Exenange and the Rogue River
Fruit & Produce' "association are work
ing to a definite and intelligent plan In
preparing to meet the problems of the
future.
zrorthwest rrnlt Kirn Priced.
The box spple and pear of the Pa
cific northwest must always be a high
priced apple and pear In the great mar
kets of the world. The cost of trans
portation alone renders this inevitable.
The capacity of the market Is elastic.
It will respond to wider and more Intel!-
frent distribution ana to aavertising, but
t will always be a limited market. The
k rowers of the Rogue river valley are
convinced that the enormous plantings
of apples and pears in the Paolrio
nonnwesc renaer u certain mat tne
production of box apples and pears Will,
within a few vears. greatly exceed the
present . established market. This can
mean but one thirg a struggle bo
tween the different fruit producing dis
tricts to survive. From thi struggle
will emerge hose districts which are
best fitted by nature and most intelli-
fentiy cultivated by man to produce
he most perfect fruit at the lowest
cost. Those districts which are' les
favorably situated will return to alfalfa,
grain and livestock.
Xlffb Oraas Trait Xffeoessary.
Under such conditions for the strong
er districts to cooperate with and tn
assist the weaker districts to find a
market for their fruit is only delaying
the day of readjustment; only prolong
ing a painful struggle. The sooner those
districts of the northwest which are
not preeminently fitted for the produc
tion of high grade fruit get out of the
fruit business the better for themselves
and for the whole northwest. . -
From the standpoint of the favored
districts, if there is to be any coopera
tion In the marketing of fruit, the droit
should be a select and exclusive one.
The Northwestern Fruit Exchange is
working to become the representative In
the markets of the strong districts. It

the men in our escort. But most of our
men were Americans and they would all

always avoid a fight in which he has a

Villa is cut from the same card, ac

Then he killed them, fairly licking his

There was another story, of Villa's
garroting half a dozen men one day.
For some reason he did not want to
shoot. He slipped a short loop over
the head of each man, thrust a stick
through it and twisted. As the victim
gasped for breath he let up on the pres

be as sweetly prolonged as possible. An

witness. "Villa was so tired, ho slept

"For years," said the man from Mex

that spirit In our southern mountain-),
where feuds are decided from behind

grown up about Villa. It bas been re

OF HOOD RIVER SURVEY
Hood River, Or., Dec. SO. By agree

state engineering department and a com
mittee of cl(iiens from Hood River coun

the engineering department that the

peatedly told that he became a bandit
because an army officer insulted his
sister whereupon Villa shot the rascal
down on the street and took to the hills.
"This is puerile nonsense," said the
man from Mexico. "Villa's sister be
came the mistress of an army officer
with the full fftmsent and approbation of
Villa himself and all concerned. As a
matter of fact, the Villa family stepped
upward on the social road through this
left-handed connection. A knowledge
of Mexican affair is required to appro
elate the advantage the Villas male
through It."
Recognised by Madero.
Villa "was on borrowing terms with
the officer, until his credit was cut off,
When ho threatened, the officer prom
ised him a whipping if he offended
again. Whereupon Villa laid in wait
for him, shot htm from behind on the
street, robbed the body of money and
ornaments, and took to the brush. So
much for the romance of the bandit's
story. ,
"Villa is an able man." said the speak
er. "He kept at liberty for 20 years,
during most of which time a price was
on his head. He knows the desert and
mountain country better than you do
the lines in your hand, and he has a cer
tain quality of loyalty not common
among Mexican leaders. His men knew
that if they were captured by the police'
or soldiers Villa would rescue them if
he could. If he could not he would
have revenge for them. His revenges
were so bloody and cruel that toward
the last he was little Interfered with by
the regular forces. . One of Madero
mistakes was In recognising this man.
And yet ho remained true to Madero as
better men did not. He Is a fairly good
general and has not imposed too onerous
restrictions upon his men, who are for
the most part mere land pirates. It Is
not likely that Chihuahua or any other
large town will be looted by him, be
cause of the effect upon his standing
with the United States. But later on
you will hear that he has carried firs
and sword to the lonely countryside.
Every man who had money before the
war began has been made to give It up
if Villa found him."
In view of the fact that this amount
has already been paid to the engineers
forjwork and the survey is only about
One half completed, citizens of Hood
River have entered protest against tho
paying of any further bills for survey
ing. A meeting of the committee that con
ferred with the engineering department

of the Hood River oltisens are correct.
The committee has arranged to meet

for three meals for a- family of five.
These baskets will be made up and de

market have been prepared to find a

As forecast fn The Journal yesterday
the price of onions has been advanced
to $2.60 a cental f. o. b. country shipping
points. Several cars, in fact, were sold
for next week's shipment at the higher
figure during the latter part, of last
week. .''"...- .
The middle west, Puget sound. Cali
fornia and the local territory are all .
crying for supplies and J T cars were
shipped during the week. Most of these
went st $3.40 at country points. One
car went to Oklahoma. ...
While official estimates are not yet
given it ia generally understood that -Oregon
growers retain 310 ears at this
time. This is about what they usually
retain at the end of the year, but when
that time arrives this season a lesser
number will likely be shown. -. '
This year's crop of onions Is shew
ing unusually good keeping quality oven
for Oregon growth.
