Fair Colors:
Industry
"T he Forest Grove Fruit Associa­
tion,” said Mr. Correll, “ is an industry
which effects either directly or indi­
rectly every person in Forest Grove,
and many people throughout the county.
There are nearly two hundred members
in the Association, and many others in
view.
“ The fruit and vegetables which we
use are grown by the members and
marketed by the
Association.
By
working in this manner the market is
never flooded with any one commodity,
and good prices are assured.
"The cannery employs as many as
fifty workmen during the harvest
season, and in this way a great deal of
money is kept in the county. Last
month the labor bill was $1,128. It
sometimes goes over $100 per day.
“ Our first run on loganberries ran
over 40,000 pounds, for which a ready
market was found right here on the
Coast. In this fruit alone we predict a
great future in the Valley, not only for
the large ranches but for the small
farmer. The prices paid for the berries
were highly satisfactory to the growers.
“ Cherries have not all been marketed,
for the reason that there are not
ehough of any one variety to make a
carload. But this also is a comii g
product.
Fifty-five tons of pears have been
taken in by the cannery. One carload
has been shipped to Portland and one
to Seattle. Two carloads of apples are
being canned, and orders for more have
been refused on account o f lack of
fruit.
Apples and squash are now
being canned.
“ There is one thing in particular of
which we are proud, and that is that
all o f our fruit has been graded one
rate higher by the buyer than was
quoted by the Association. This shows
that we have started right and insures
us a ready market for t e future.
“ Although we are not yet prepared
to give figures in regard to the year s
work it has air ady exceeded all ex­
pectations. Our buildings must be en­
larged before another season. We be-
1 eve in a future for the county ar.d
s and with other business men and
manufacturers for the advancement o f
Washington County.”
Following is a list o f officers o f the
Association: H. C. Atwell, president;
H. Corrtll, vice-president; Ives J.
Hoar, secretary; Robert Alexander,
treasurer; A. B Ciaft, A. Dilley, Grant

FOREST GROVE BAND
IS ORGANIZED
Th;u the hard work o f Samuel Glenn
Morgan o f Pacific Univeis.ty, Forest
Grove may now boost for a real first
class band. At various times in the
past a band has done thorough work in
this city and no one wili fail to recog­
nise the important place which such an
organization will hold in the community
life. There seems ample reason to be­
lieve tnat this band will exceed any
which has played in Forast .Grove in
years. The first thing o f importance
in the forming o f a band is the instru­
mentation, which should be well bal­
anced and reasonably large. The next
point for concineraiion is that o f a
leader, and finally the question o f music
and good instruments, must be settled.
1 Every instrument essential to an A-
number-one band, will be played in
this organization. The membership for
the winter will be between twenty and
thirty. At a recent meeting, Mr. Mor­
gan o f P. U. '17, a man to whom much
gratitude is due for his efforts toward
the organizing of the band, was unan-
imously elected business manager.
