REAR-END COLLISION
OF TRAINS NEAR HUGO
A wreck occurred at Tunnel 9
about 1 o clock a. ru. Frtdav morn
ing, when a light engine In charge
of Engineer Warren Burt and Fire
man Mooney, southbound, crashed
In the rear end of local freight No.
223, which was standing near the
water station without a flagman in
'charge.
The local freight was In charge of
Conductor Johnson. The engine
went entirely through the caboose,
completely demolishing the car, and
was stranded crosswise on the track.
Engineer Burt was slightly scratched
about the face, but was otherwise
unhurt. The fireman escaped with
out injury, as did also the crew of
the freight. The wrecking crew was
brought from Roseburg to clear up
the debris, but two sections of No.
16, and also No. 14, were held at
Hugo last night. No. 15 did not ar
rive here until after 10 o'clock Fri
day morning. Engineer Burt and
Fireman Mooney certainly had a mir
aculous escape from being killed, as
the condition of their engine and
the demolished caboose bear mute
testimony to their hair-breath es
cape. Mr. Burt Is a resident of this
city, where he resides with his wife
and little son. Mr. Mooney Is from
Portland.
WILMEROTH TELLS OF
AP?LS MARKET SITUATION
To our stockholders and growers:
By this time the growers In Med
ford pool will have received their
Bartlett accounts. If there Is one
point In your statement that you are
not thoroughly familiar with and en
tirely satisfied with we wish you
would call at this office.
One grower who shipped 13 boxes
of Bartletts through the association
came In yesterday very much excited
and displeased because he did not
get $2. GO for his Bartletts, ns he
saw In the newspaper that 130 rars
had been sold at $2.60 per box. The
gentleman seemed to lose sight of
the fact that Is costs from R0 cents
to $1 per box freight and refrigera
tion and also the packing and mar
keting chnrges were to be deducted
from his sales. We want every
stockholder, whether large or small,
to understand that this Institution Is
as much his property as any of the
directors or the management, and he
ha a perfect right to come Into this
office, and the books are open for
his Inspection. If he does not know
anything about bookkeeping he may
bring someone who does, but what
ever he does he should not raise a
howl until he know what he Is talk
ing about. To my mind, one of the
standing jokes of the day Is a man
who tries to talk about a thing when
he Is not absolutely ure of the facts.
When you see apple quoted In the
Eastern market remember that nt
least 7." cents per box must be de
ducted for freight and refrigeration,
; nd w hen yon see apples quoted In
Uvcrpool and London do not forget
that nt least 11.00 per box must be
deducted for freight to place that
box on thone ninrket and when you
sen prices quoted In our newspaper
remember that these prices very gen
erally are the top gross nbn on east
ern markets, and before yon ran get
the net result or money that will
go to the grower all these charge
must be deducted. Now please don't
criticize until you are sure of your
point. Come In and see u and we
will put you right, or at least show
yon how we arrive at the figure we
have sent yon for the pears.
As your manager, I wIkIi to state
that nine-tenth of our grower i-eni
to be p!ene nh 0r rfforts, and
'f you are one who I not pleased we
hop you will rail and tell u about
It before you advertise It broadcast
through the community.
At this e&non of the year all -r-flon
are shinning ai jil" ns well a
ouriw'.ve. end every reflgerator car
Coirlr M d par,
in the country Is busy and we are
feeling the shortage here at this
time. On Friday night we had ten
cars of apples to ship with only one
car to load them In. We feel sure
the railroad officials are doing their
utmost and there arc seven cars here
this morning and Monday we feel
we will be greatly relieved. We men
tion these facts so that growers who
may want to haul to town to load
will feel that they should advise with
use before hauling to our warehouse,
as we are crowded at this time and
do not want to get the apples Into
town without we can handle them
should pack and ship before the
Newtowns, at the same thlme those
having Newtowns should keep busy
with them, and we would like to
complete and deliver the goods.
Grading
In packing your Spitz and New-
towns you must stick closely to the
grading rules laid down by this as
sociation, if you are not positive
just how to grade, take It up with
us and we will try and put you right.
In the blow end of the Newtowns
you will occasionally find a small
crack. These apples should go In
the choice. If you do not It mav
cause trouble that will result se
riously. There Is only one way to
do this packing, and that Is the right
way. and we expect each grower to
properly.
Parking
Those who have Spitz, we think,
assist us.
Shook
Factories supplying us with shook
are working night and day, and some
of our growers are being supplied
each day. We have a car this morn
ing and the best authority on shook
says there will be another car Mon
day, this, of course, depending upon
wrecks, which delayed our car today.
When you are rendy to start to town
for a load of shook telephone this
office.
We have sold 40 to (To cars of ap
ples and we do not think It wise at
this time to publish the prices
broadcast In the newspapers. Any
member of the association Interested
may call nnd learn these prices. It
may seem strange that we do not
publish this information In the pa
pers, but many times we want to put
our prices up, which will be hard to
do If our snles are published In the
Oregonlnn and the press pnpera and
In time get Into tho fruit trade
papers In the east, and we think
work to a disadvantage. The pass
ing on prices on snles of our apples
Is In the hands of the board of direc
tors or a committee appointed by
them. We have rejected nn offer on
30,000 boxes of Newtowns and have
turned down some business on one
other variety of apples, You must
remember we nre not Infallible nnd
In rejecting these offers have In
mind the welfare of nil growers, and
If any mistake had been made we
must not find fault, but must be gov
erned by the actions of the board of
directors whom you elected, and at
this time It may be well to state that
It Is In perfect unity on sales made
up to the present time. '
