Mr. C. L. Smith, who is connected
with the industrial department of tho
O. R. & N., arrived here today under in
instructions from R. C. Judson, to eee
if it is possible to get the fruit-growers
of this neighborhood to get together and
organi.d an association or fiuit-growere
union. Mr. Judeon advises Mr. Smith
that if the fruit-growers of The Dalles
district will so organize, he will engage
to get a party to put in an evaporator
and fruit cannery. He saye that it
would be folly to try to put in either of
these unless tho fruit-growers are or
ganized. Hero is the opportunity Die fruit
growers of thia neighborhood have been
looking for for a long time. Let them
make no delay in embracing it. Mr.
Smith will he here for the rest of the
week and will probably nrrango for a
mass meeting for some time Saturday,
so that he can lay before the people his
idea of the necessity of the organization.
Mr. i?iiiith assures Tun Ciutoiei.K that
to his own personal knowledge the fruit
.districts that have had effect! vo organi
zations during the past year have real
ized fully fifty per cent more for their
fruit than those districts that have no
organization.
It is needless to remark that Mr.
Smith is asking nothing of anybody and
that his mission here is wlyilly in the
inteiostfl of the fruit-growers.
