The starting of an entirely new sys tem of making fruit shipments to the coast ami abroad this ear by the Northwestern l-'ruit Exchange of this city lias already saved growers on shipments to Germany alone $11,340. This saving in the cost of trans porting apples to market was innde because the services of the refrigera tor companies were dispensed with. H cost 10c a box for rail refrigerator, to the east and 12 1-2 cents additional for refrigerator to Europe. Tihis is a total cost of 22 1-2 cents a box and fu sonic instances is the dividing line between profit and loss to shippers. Up to this time practically all of Ihe Jonathans and other soft fruit was sent out from the Pacific North-j west under refrigeration. That was; the old system and it was generally accepted up to this season as the proper method. The Northwestern Fruit Exchange .shipped HO cars of apples to flic Ger man market alone this season, there fore, the saving on these from the new system alone is $11,340 or 22 -2 cents a box. Hcsidcs these shipments to Germany, t'here are numerous ship ments to England under the new sys tem but the number of cars sent in that direction without refrigeration this season is unknown at this time. The saving of 22 1-2 cents a box hi the cost of marketing Pacific Northwest apples is a very big thing tu itself. If the system is generally adopted it will mean Ihc saving of many thousands of dollars by grow ers of this section alone. Huge sums arc paid annually to the railroads for this service and it has now been found that in most instances it lias been simply throwing that much away. AN OPEN RIVER. Again the Albany Commercial club has gone on record as favoring the improvement of the Willamette river according to the recommendations contained in the report of Major Me ludoe filed during the month of De cember, 1910. In this report Melndoc asserted that the sum of $245,000 would cover Ihc cost of mvesaiy improvements between Corvallis and Oregon City. Mated thai in his judge ment the improvement of the rivet between llanisburg and Eugene was impi acucahle In September t'MJ the Coimneivi.il Club of Albany endorsed the report i and asked the Government to make the improvements .uvoiding to the re commendations contained in that doc ument. In October of the same year Con g i ess man I law lev appeared be loie the Commercial club and --poke in ta or ol his "pet" plan tor an cx- pensive serie- of locks and dams be tween Oregon t il y and Km; cue, A survey was made and a few weeks a no the t io vein men t engineers reported unfavorably upon the plan proposed by I law ley. Thus has a year's time been lost. Not hiug has been done towards the impunemeiit ot the Willamette rier and the people ol this section ot he Mate are no ne.iier an open iiei than P'ev were when Congressman llawlev first assumed his oath ol of lice. Nad llawlev accepted at its actual value the report of Melndoc tiled in I'MO and applied himself to the work of obtaining an appi opi iatmn tor the purposes therein set forth, it is more than probable that, his efforts won hi have been crowned with success. In October I'M-' llawlev was a can tttate for re-election. 1 1 is golden dream of an expensive series ot locks and dams betw ecu T'ugcne and t re gou City bad a pleasing sound to the otei s in the ieinity of T'ugcne. It w as good politics and doubtless was the means of securing many a vote for the gentleman who now repre sents this district in the lower house of Con g r ess. It did not how ever, have the i ight ring to the people in Albany in 1 11 1 J. and inee the more recent report of the Government en gineeis will doubtless not inspire any undue enthusiasm among the voters bet w ecu I Ian isbm g and l;,.i :cie. llawlev has tailed to make good on bi pie (lection piediciiou and his al so failed to MViirr the tui.it amuop i ia t ton of $J rceoinuu mL d by Mclndoe. It is now up to Mr. llawlev to do mh.ici hiug. 'The people ol the il lamctte Valley want no more pre election fairy tales. They desire and insist upon tangible results. If Haw .cy is either unable or unwilling to give the people an open river to Portland, it will not be difiicul1. to iind m me man m this congressional district who will take a more active inierot in representing the. desires and w, hl.es ol his constituents.
