What it AcrouiplUhccl In Shipping Straw Jterries Lat Year, Mr. Editor: Please allow me space to give inquirers and others some ac count of the workings of the Hood River Fruit Growers Union, which is a local association and managed as a co operative concern, no attempt being made to do a commission business. We ship strawberries in car - loads. We own a warehouse on the sidetrack and boxes are kept on hand for the accommodation of our members. The success of last year's business may be judged from the following statement of average net returns, stated in periods as follows: May 14-19, $4.15; May 20-24, 83.03; May" 25-29, $2.45; May 30-June 3, $2.03; June 4-8, $1.77; June 9-13, $1.51; June 14-18, $1.75; June 19-23, $1.10; June 24-20, $-.98. The total average for the season was $1.85 3-5 per crate. This is about 13 cents per crate better than the average secured by The Oregon Fruit Union for the Hood River berries handled by them. Had we quit shipping at She same time with The Oregon Fruit Union, our average would have been about 20 cents better. Our union expenses amounted to 5 2-5 per cent on net re turns. A good share ol this went to pay for warehouse and to create a re serve fund of about $300, with which to start next season's business. The writer was sent east to make disposition of car load shipments. The expense of agent did not exceed li per cent on net returns. A single day's work in Omaha is known to have saved more than the entire expense of the trip through Utah, Colorado, Neb raska, and as far as Sioux City, Iowa. The whole amount lost by failure to collect was less than $20 This was made good to the growers out of the union funds. Mr. H. F. Davidson is the efficient secretary and shipping agent. A Portland bank is the deposi tory of the funds and growers receive checks at any time for amounts due them. Shipments are usually billed to the union itself and it would puzzle a bureau of information to know the final destination as a car may be di verted at any time. We prefer to got our own information and try to see that "our folks" are notout-generaled. Our experience goes to show that a local union is all there is any use for. It should maintain its own individual ity and independence and "refuse to surrender." The great majority of our growers now believe in the local union. We were incorporated in 1893. Of course nothing succeeds like suc cess." T. R. COON, Pres. H. R. F. G. U. Application for LiijiiDi' Licence. CnU;ty Court of Wust-o :yors aad l.ra W. iiADDKU lo To 1 ':;(.'

According to the Nooksack ' Re porter, an idol has been discovered on Dr. Thompson's ranch, near Nooksack, in a good state of preservation. The idol is carved out of lava, is twenty one inches high; widest breadth across the face and neck is sixteen inches and the bust five inches long. The carving preserves true lines, and the whole figure reminds one of Phoeni cian handiwork, as recently uncovered in portions of Central America. The bust carving, in defining the arms, makes a nearly perfect keystone of the base, with a smaller one on the breast. No hieroglyphics are visible. The block has been about seven inches in the thickest part, but a portion of the back has been broken off, probably struck by a plow share.

Sometime between 12 and 3' o'clock this this morning burglars broke into the Oro Fino saloon and carried off the cash register and three boxes of cigars. Entrance was effected through the back door by breaking the glass so that the burglar could reach his hand through and unfasten the bolt with which the door was fastened. When the saloon was closed at about 12 o'clock, all the money, except one dol lar in small change, was taken out of the front part of the register, and the register locked, though there were a few dollars in an envelope in the back part of the register, which the burglars did not find.' The register was taken to the vacant lot back of the Michel bach buildirg,' where it was broken open. Mr. Bruhlman, when deliver- ing milk about 3 o'clock that morning, saw the register by the side of the street, and recognizing it as belonging to the OraFino, notified the barkeeper,' Chris Kabe, who at once repaired to the saldon'and discovered it had been burglarized. . Mr. Keller, proprietor of the saloon, desires to extend his compliments to the burglar or burglars, and says the next time they are sorely pressed for a dollar if they will call on him, he will donate the amount rather, than have them go to the trouble of breaking into his saloon. The burglars evi dently were not experts, and will pos sibly be caught ere long. La.vu Office at The Dai.lks Okegon January 30. 196.
