METHOD OF HOOD
RIVER GROWERS
Pl&c Apple on Exhibition in
the Eastern Market und
Sell &t Auction.
Tbe following account of the work
for tbii year of the Hood River Apple
Grower Union giTea ia the last nam
ber of the Hood River Ulaoler will
be of interest to the fro it growers of
Josephine county :
"A message received last week by
E. H. Shepard, manager of the Apple
Groweri anion, to the effect that.a
car load of apple which onion
growers exhibited at the recent frnit
fair here, had been sold in New York
at f 3 and $2.75 a box, regardless of
variety, is said by Mr. Shepard to add
another feather in the cap of Hood
River apples as heretofore bdcIi priors
have only been obtained for two
varieties Spitzenbergs and New
towns. "That color plays an important part
in the sale of apples in eabtern mar
kets is evidenced by the fact that the
green varieties sold for lets than the
red, the latter bringing the f3 price
and the former $3.75. Mr. Shepard
thinks that this marks a new depar
ture for Oregon froit and that the
varieties which have not before been
very favorably received in the big
markets of the east will in futnre
command better price.
"The succesHful marketing of the
fruit was accomplished by advertis'
ing it in the trait trade jonrnals and
selling it to the highest bidder after
having had it displayed in large
show window connected with the
establishment of Loom is & Oo. Tbe
apples were seut to this firm to dis
pose of ou com mission and as an ex
periment and the sale of the entire
nine varieties which comprised the lot
is said by the apple growers of the
nniJn to be a long step in the direct
ion of making a market for a'l varie
ties of apples grown at Hood River.
In it were Included Red Cheeks,
Arkansas Black, Gravenstein, Ortleys,
Aiken Red, Kings, Wealthies and one
or two other varieties.
"The Idea of having the apples dis
played in the district where the trade
has its headquarters and enabling
them to see just what they were bay
ing before they made any offer for
the apples, Mr. Shepard thinks, will
do much more to get big prices fo
Oregon froit, and make It better and
more favorably known than any other
plan that coold have been devised and
says that its success means muoli in
the fotnro. In sending the apples east
for sale the growers who owned them
placed them in the hands of tbe union
to be sold for whatever they would
bring alter being advertised and ex
hibited. "A prominent apple man here had
offered to pot op the money to defray
the expenses of freight and other
oharges and the quoted price of the
fruit at Hood River. In their mes
sage Loom I b & Co. state that the en
tire shipment was sold in 24 hoars
after it wai pnt on exhibition.
"Estimates on tbe apple crop are
increasing and it is expected that tbe
crop will reach 250,000 boxes. That
is the number that have been made to
market the crop, and is about twice
as many apples as were ever sent out
of Hood Rivtr during any previous
ceaKon.
"Manager Shepard, of the onion, is
authority for the statement that 90
cars of froit have been sold by them
and that 30 more cars of Newtowns
coold have been disposed of if they
coold have been obtained.
"Theofllce and warehouse force of
the onion has had to be increased this
year to 12 men where previously four
or five were able to do the work, and
it has been necessary to have 60
l ackers in the field to pack apples.
Unable to seen re men for the work
the experiment of nilng girls has
been tried and a number of them
have been found to make very good
packers.
"That tbe problem of getting
enough packers aud pickers will have
to be solved before next -year is tbe
opinion of tbe onion srowers and all
others who have given the matter any
serious consideration.
"If girls can be used they say that
it will famish employment to a good
many of them for a number of weeks
provided they can be obtained."

Link River Dry.
For the first time in three years
Link River went dry Friday, and
Mrs. O. B. Gates had the novel ex
perience of walking across the river
channel dry shod The wind com
menced blowing Thursday night and
by Friday morning had backed the
water np into Up,er Klamath lake
to such an extent that the power for
the electric light plant was shut off.
During the day the wind continued
blowing, and for a time it looked as if
the city would be in darkness during
the night. At the Klamath Lake
Navigation Company's dock the
waters of Lake Ewauna raised 14
inches, while on the Lower Lake a fall
of 12 inches was recorded, its waters
having been blown up this way.
About 4 o'clock in the evening the
high wind which had prevailed all
day commenced dying down, aud
shortly thereafter everything had
assumed normal Hlia, e and the waters
that find their escape through Link
River commenced running down hill
again. Herald.
Another big wind storm drove back
the waters of the Upper Klamath Lake
Saturday evening and as a consequence
electric lights were glimmering during
the forepart of the night. Herald.
