FRUIT GROWERS. A very important meeting of about, SO of the leading fruit growers of Mult nomah and Clackamas counties was held yesterday afternoon In the Odd Fellows' hall, comer East fne street and Grand avenue, and steps were taken to affect a permanent organisation." A committee was appointed by the chair to get the lowest prices for berry boxes. Considerable comment was caused by tha reading of the following communlea tion from the Retail Grocers' Asgocla tion by the secretary: "At tiuTlast meeting of the Retail Grocers' Association, I was Instructed to communicate with the Berry Growers' Association relative to the handling of the berries' by the grocers, this coming sea son. The old plan of returning boxes has proven very unsatisfactory from a sani tary point of view, and also for other reasons. In order to return, boxes to the grower, the grocer is compelled, when selling fruit, to dump it into paper bags, where it becomes bruised. This is very unsatisfactory to the customer. On the other hand, U the boxes are carried wy, Uie chances' of getting there beck are so remote as to be very unsatisfactory to the grocers. We understand some grow ers last year used the cheap boxes which Were delivered with the berries' a'nd not returned. We think this plan. If adopted, would be mora satisfactory to all con cerned, and would ask that you take the matter before your association at the earliest convenience." A number of speeches were made by the growers present favoring the combin ing of the interests of the growers of the county. Ths permanent organization was then affected and the following officers elect ed: C. H. Welch, President; J. F. Jeager. l&cretary and Treasurer. A committee on organization was appointed as follows: 0. T. Hunt, W. M. Gates, H. J. MlckeL son, A. J. Henneman and A. V. Folk man. -An address was made by Dr. William Deveny, of the MontavlUa SubXBoard of Trade, on behalf of the establishing of co-operative fruit cannery at Montavilla. IN THE CHURCHES.
