COOPERATIVE MARKET
fiooA-Rtvf, Or July Com
mercial club rooms were crowded Sat
urday afternoon to .listen to an 'address
on1 the- subject of eastern fruit auc
tions by Arthur M. Geary. -
The-, lecture, was illustrated by a
number tjf stereoptlcon slides showing
the auction business in ths large fruit
centers. "I- ' ' - . .
Mr. Geary said In part:
; , "My lecture on th fruit marketing
business is under the direction of' th
12 largest : fruit . auction .concerns In
the United Staj.es, . located la eastern
cities. , ' J
"The fruit auctioneers are not in the
field for ; contracts from . the, growers
Or shippers of fruit, but are simply
asking for the privilege to, make good
in the marketing of part of the north
west apples this season through the
auction system. ,
Poor Proit Offered. .
"It is & fact that a number of ship
pers and gTowers pass the poorer qual
ity of apples along to the auction sales
department, and of. course, it cannot
be expected to receive a good price
for poor fruit; and for the failure to
get too; prices for Inferior, apples, the
.auction syBtem is severely condemned
and criticised. To crowd a lot of de
fective apples Into the auctions means
a demoralization upon the entire apple
market .
"Accounts of the auction sales which
.are published and scattered broadcast
"show that so many cars were' sold in
New York, Philadelphia or some other
city at auction, and show- a low price
obtained. ' However, no :. mention is
made fey the reports that the fruit wag
badly decayed or frozen, and the low
prices obtained are taken - by f. o. b.
buyers as indications of the trend of
the market. - . . ' :
;- "In order that the auction system
may be -successful, large 'quantities of
first claes fruit must b'systematieally
supplied. You might Just as well ex
pect to run a few cull logs through a
sawmill 'and get good, first lumber
therefrom as to expect defective and
cull frrtijs to be run through the auc
tion and turn iou big; prices. If the
auction -.wa properly supplied the
trade . would1 come .regularly?' to this
source for Its supply, v The auction
handle a large quantity bf first-Class
fruit and tie best, prices are realised.
v. Want to Seaea Agreement.
? As ' the man "who grows the fruit
Is' the man most vitally concerned, and
in view 'of the fact that in the long
run and in the last analysis ths grow
era are the determining factors m de
ciding on-;bje .marketing, methods, the
auction compgnies'want to- reuch '',
basis of mutual understanding with the
growers.- . ...
i"Jn the first. instance, the growers
must discredit the stories circulated
by Interested parties that the auctions
are 'crooked. If any! of the fcUction
companies pursue dishonest : methods,
it Is known at once to the trade, and
the company had Just as well go out
of busiaess Immediately.
I - "Every , move of the auctioneer and
Of the buyers is made in full view
of the growers" agent, and the auction
companies will not sell a box of fruit
unless the growers' representatives are
present 1A "the salesroom..
-The .charge made that the auction
companies are . "dishonest is surely a
challenge to the intelligence and busi
ness ability of the. officials of the
California Fruitgrowers' u Excnange,
California Fruit Distributors, . who
marketed last year 85,000 carloads of
their fruit through the auction com
panies . , , . : , .
"If ' yo growers can fully under
stand and appreciate the auction sys
tem, the next step will be for the ship
ping agencies to choose several auction
markets : and supply them with.- good
fruit along with the inferior grades In
a systematic way.; The fancy fruit will
establish . a scale of prices that Will
have an uplif ttnr influence upon the
prices of the inferior grades, and the
f. 0. b. jobbers will no longer then, be
able to cite the auction prices to"kid
them in bearing down upon the tnrfrket,
"The boxed apple business in . the
northwest Juas reached such large, pro
portions ; that new - outlets must be
opened for the grower, and the auction
is the logical , method to follow, as "It
reaches many -more buyers than those
few who buy at f. o. b, prices.
"H. i F. Davidson, one of the nost
prominent -men in the fruit game to
day, and one of your own citizens, in
forms me that he is entirely satisfied
with the auction selling off apples in
England. - .' -
j .'The auction system undoubtedly
reaches the largest number of buyers,
who in turn dispose of the fruit to
the consumer at the least possible ex
pense to the seller."

those sections of timber which vcome
under tha provisions of the state fire

Reflection of Flames From
: Blaze in .Wind River Scc
, tion Lights Stevenson.
- Stevenson, Wash., July 24. This
city 'is luridly lighted tonight by
flames from a forest fire which is eat
ing the heart out of a stand of valu
able timber in the Wind river 'section.
Though there Is no danger locally,
there is much apprehension because it
has been Impossible to get reliable in
formation from the' burning dintrlet,
and there is uncertainty as to what the
damage is or may be.'
V Communication was established t
one time this evening with Hemlock
station, forester's lookout, the report
being merely that the fire is a big one,
and that all available forces are beln.r
mobilised to fight, it.
Lumber Camps Threatened,
The ranger reported that he hnl
been advised that the fire would hu
headed off within a few hours or that,
it would by that time be absolutely be
yond control. -
It was also learned that the camp of
the Wind River Lumber company,
owning most of the timber immedi
ately menaced, is threatened, that
much of the crew's cable has been de
stroyed and that two donkey ehRlnrt
were saved only after a plucky flKht
lu which men, and horses were en
dangered. :
The height of the fire is said toT:-.i
about three miles above the dam which
impounds the water used to. float -tho
company's logs to mill. The big effort
on-the part of the volunteer fire fight
ers is to keep the flames from eating
to the vast timber holdings to thu
West. . - .
;iv.' -; Started By Sparks,
f It Is believed that the fire was start
ed by sparks from one of the Wind
River company's engines. The unoh
was first seen from this city about 11
o'clock this morning. It was- thouR'it
then - that the fire was in slahlnRi
only, several fires of this nature hav
ing been reported this week, but later
reports advised that standing timber i
going, and tonight the magnitude of
the -blase can be realized because of
the lighted heavens. , '
Effort is being made-to get into
closer communication with the threat
ened area.' " ' ,
