Davidson last week fired, as he states, his fi al shot in the controversy between himself and the auction apple market men, the episode having grown out o f a letter from Mr. Davidson to western apple growers, the letter criti cising the auction market as being de structive to real boxed apple values. Extracts from Mr. Davidson’s final let ter follow : "1 have been in the husinesa o f sell ing boxed apples in carlots for a num ber o f years and one o f the worst influ ences I have had to contend against is that o f the printed auction catalogs, which fail to show the condition o f the fruit. The buyer or shipper who takes the auction reporta as a basis o f value can only read what the report shows and, according to your statement, are* misled if your inference* are correct that much "trash has been sold at auc tion. 1 have never seen this informa tion in your reports. 1 draw my con clusions from the same source o f infor mation that the growers and shippers do, which is the published reports of auction sale«, and 1 am safe in saying that these reports are usually consider ably below f. o. b. prices obtained at the time by the class of private sales men with whom I am dealing. "1 am only considering the compara tive merits of the two methods in a broad way, but to many people it is necessary to Btate specific instances, which was my reason for making the comparison, and 1 meant to include all o f the auction sales covered by the time and 1 know 1 covered an equal nr larger quantity o f apples sold at pri vate sale. “ I am certainly in full accord with every dealer and every method o f sell ing boxed apples that gets satisfactory results to the shipper. The man who puts up his money against the fruit, by agreement with the shipper, whether cash before shipment or guarantee and payment on arrival o f the fruit, is cer tainly entitled to the support of the growers and shippers. I am in sympa thy with the man who owns the fruit, whether grown or bought of the grower st an agreed price. “ In this, my closing communication, let me be recorded as not having in mind any enntroversy whatever with your good selves or anybody connected with any o f your auctions, but 1 fe lt it was high time to make some sugges tions to my neighbors out west, so fur nished my story only to papers printed in the fru it growing sections. How- ever, there seems to he something ‘ he hind the scenes' o f which I was ignor ant, which brought out your volumin ous article and correspondence, and until the dust settles a little so 1 ran get a clearer view o f the situation, I will continue selling my apples and those under my control in the United States at private sale. “ For your information, there is no harm in adding that 1 had a car of Hood River Spitzenburga sold at pri vate sale this week, mostly at $3 and a small proportion at $2.75 as tine a lot as ever went over the dock. I am seri- j ous in wanting you to buy the hundred or two hundred oars o f apples to test your machine with and if you are in the market I will be glad to quote you prices on fruit from all o f the principal apple districts o f the northwest " I hope this letter will convince you that I have not receded materially from my first position. However, I sincerely believe that the auction can hr made useful. We use the European auction frequently with satisfaction and the auctions in this country should also be serviceable and when it is demonstrated that shippers of boxed apples have an opportunity to get fair prices at auc tion 1 will be one o f your organization's most ardent supporters."

VO L. V I I A t the regular meeting o f the Com mon Council on Wednesday night all members were present with the excep tion o f L . J. M en ill. The City Re corder was instructed to prepare for the coming regular city election to be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in December. The offi cers to be elected are treasurer, re corder and three councilman. The el- derrr.an who hold over are W. E. Cbown, L. J. M errill, and G. R. Wood. Those whose term expires are Dr. David Robinson, Jat. Camp, and D. W. Hudson. Judges and clerks of election were appointed by the Mayor as follow s: Mrs. P. L. Arthur, chair man o f election board; Mrs. W. A. Husbands, ju d ge; R. W. Moe, judge; Mr*. F. A. Allingtun, clerk ; and John Davenport, clerk. The following resolution was pasted: Resolved, by the («m m on Council of the City of Mosier that a tax o f ten mills be and same i* hereby levied up on all taxable property within the cor porate limits o f City o f Moaier for all purposes for the current year and that same be divided and apportioned ea fo l lows : For general purposes, 10 m ills; And be it further resolved that a certi fied copy o f thi* resolution be trans mitted to the Coonty Court and county aeessor ofjWaseo county. Oregon, on or before the first meeting in December 1915. A communication was read from the county clerk regarding the matter of city taxetion. This with e similar com munication from the county asaeeenr was referred to City Attorney Derby, and w ill be acted upon at the next meeting. A t a meeting held at Parkdale hall Saturday night the Upper Valley Grange launched a campaign to secure by general subacription a fund of $3,500 for the construction of a high way from the terminus of a county road in the upper valley to the foot of Cooper's Spur near Cloud Cap Inn. The length o f the proposed road, a sur vey o f which has been made by County Roadmaster W. A. Furrow, is 71 mile* The grade at no place will exceed seven per cent. The distance from the county road's end and the proposed terminus o f the new ruad ia but three miles on an air line. The road w ill rise from an alti tude o f about 2,900 feet, to a distance above the sea level o f nearly 6,000 feet. One o f the chief booetera for the new road ia J. O. Hannum, a member of the Hood River County Board o f Com missioners. " I have been over the entire rou te," says Mr. Hannum. " F o r the first five milee, where for numeroue stretches o f more than a quarter o f a mile all that we will need ia aoma wheeltiacka to mark the route, the coat o f con struction will not average, more than $140 per mile. I f we can raiae this amount, we can build the road to the timber line before snow flies ” The proinotors o f the new road be lieve that Hood River automobile own- era, who now number more than 250. will subscribe liberally toward the cor.- • tructinn o f the new road, which will eliminata the old toll road, at present the only route to Cloud Cap Inn. The latter road ia elosed to traffic at soon as the Inn closes each September. It ie so steep toward the end that only highpowered automobiles can negoti ate it. The new road will make the moun tain accessible to the very snow line. Mr. Hanr.um states that it can he uaed until m ow falls. Many local motorists prefer traseling to the base o f tba mountain after the fall rains have be gun and thus miss the heavy dust o f Mr. and Mra. F. A , Aliir.gton tba forest roads.

Because o f a misunderstanding, when the road was first proposed, people o f The Dalles feared that no connections would be formed with highway* leading to Dutur and the Wasco county seat. "W hen in Portland recen tly," said Congressman Sinnott, " I talked with members o f the forestry service, and it ■I seems to me that the surveys they have made should be satisfactory to all con cerned. Side surveys to country ac- ceasible to automobiles from Wasco county w ill be made, and it will be possible to reach I.ook Out mountain, where a giand view is obtainable, from the main line o f the su rvey ." Mr. Sinnott says he has tramped and ridden horseback over the entire coun try through which the proposed roads will pass, and knowing the scenic beau ty they w ill make available, he is an ardent supporter o f the movement in augurated to aecure funds for their construction. “ Under existing federal law ,” says Mr. Sinnott, “ each county in which forest reserves are located is entitled to 10 per cer.t o f the procaeds o f timber sales, the funds to be used in the con struction of roads. It is proposed by the forestry department that in the present case the money be advanced for the purpose o f constructing the road, in anticipation o f future sales of timber. 1 consider thi* a good plan. Many o f the counties having located in their bounds these forest timber lands are badly in need of highways at the present moment. We are going to put our backs to the wheel and endeavor to do all we car. toward backing up the forestry department, hut since the pol icy will be a new one and knowing as 1 do the depleted condition o f the treas ury and the need for railing revenue it ia difficult to tell how the matter will be received by Congress." Mr. Sinnott, who will leave today or Saturday with hia fam ily for Washing ton, was in Hood R iver last Saturday. He passed many friends but was not recognized. Thereby hangs an interesting story. Accompanied by Judd S. Yish. mana ger of Ihe Hotel Dalles, Mr. Sinnott was motoring to Parkdale to call on constituents, when his automobile be came stuck on the Neal creek grade The two men worked for hours in ihe mud and slush o f the road. A t one time, when Mr. Fish was trying to pry the wheel out o f the mudhnle while Mr. Sinnott was at the wheel, the for mer gave the signal for full speed ahead. The wheel began to spin with grest velocity and a mud plaster was hurled in the face o f the hotel man. Gagged by the mud he could not coun termand his order and Mr. Sinnott al lowed the wheels lo spin until he con sidered the task a vain one. When he did look around Mr. Kish was covered with mud from hat tu'.shoea. |he east ern Oregon congressman a few mo ments later spoiled a fresnly pressed suit by falling in the mudhole. They were recognized in Hood River, after » ^ they had finally released the car from the mudhole by but one inan, C. A. ■ Bell. Mr. Bell kept their secret and it was nut known until Tuesday, when Mr. Sinnott came to town and told the story, that the two men were here Sat urday night. Mr. Sinnott, hie car having been left at a local garage Saturday night, motored from here to The Dalles Tues day. in -D E A L E R S IN General Merchandise Mosier Oregon || l I t I H " t " t - M - I- H - I - I " H " I I I I '1 h I -H - t- M - l - 14 - t - t - M - l- l- l " M - H - l- l- l- H " l I STEAMER P e o p l e ’ s TAHOMA n a v ig a t io n c o m p a n y C H A R LE S N ELSO N.
