DISCUSS PROBLEMS
H. F. 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."

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.

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

I Nichol & Company
The proposed loop highway to be
built through the national forest around
the east and south base o f Mount Hood
will serve both Hood River and Wasco
counties, arcoridng to Representative
in Cutigress Sinnott,of The Dalles, who
was in the city Tuesday. 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.
