It is unfortunate thnt not enough fruit growers attended the meeting last Saturday to make a quorum for the transaction of business. It seems im possible nowadays to get the fruit growers together to work for their own interests The officers of the union have failed twice to get a quorum to listen to their reports and transact im portant business and now will make no further attempt until the annual meeting in January. We believe there is no better plan to market our straw berries than through a union managed and conducted on business principles, same as the Hood River union has always been conducted. There should be but one union, and every grower in the valley should join it and give it his support. . Belonging to the union does not necessarily compel a man to ship all his fruit through it. But by lend ing his aid to hold up the union he is helping to make a 6afe market for his fruit." While the union exists and shipments are made systematically,the independent shipper has a show to re ceive prices as good as the union could get for him. But we can't all be inde pendent shippers, nor can two unions working here side by side in opposition to each other help prices for the grower. Our union is the only hope for straw berry growers; let us us give it a hearty support. It is organized and managed for their sole benefit. Without it we would soon be left to the mercy of spec ulators, who would not come here and buv our berries solely to benefit the grfiwer. ' A colored man employed in counting the silver dollars in the United States treasury at Washington has been caught in the act of stealing the money, and now it is said it will take six months to count the money all over again to find out how much is missing. The Hilver is kept in bags supposed to contain just 1,000 silver dollars each, and the usual method of counting is by weighing these bags. The colored man in the case was employed in pass ing the bags from the top of the pile to his assistants in front, who did the weighing. One day this man was caught in the act of opening one of the bags, taking a handful of coins and re placing them with lumps of lead of the same weight, and it was found' that be had done the same with other bags, It Is strange that any person should be trusted alone at such work long" enough to steal. . ' Col. If. B, Sinnott, for 36 years one of the proprietors of the Umatilla house at The Dalles, died in Portland, Oct ober 21, 18JJ7. He was one ot the best known men on the Pacific coast. His death is a severe loss to The Dalles, where he has been a leading and pro gressive citizen for so many years. All will miss his friendly greeting, and The Dalles will not seem like the same place since Col. Sinnott is gone. Mr. Sinnott Mas born in Ireland 70 years ago, and came to America when 19 years of age, locatiug at Peoria, 111., where he was employed in a hotel several years. He came to the coast about 40 years ago, living a short time in Portland, then went to the mines in Idaho, finally coming to The Dalles, in July 1861 The direct cause of his death was drop py, though he had been in feeble health for several months past. Even dogs of high degree are having the fashionable disease of appendicitis. A canine in St. Louis, with a pedigree as long as that of an Italian count, was taken ill the other day, and despite the remedies prescribed by horse doctors, lie did not recover. A regular M. D, was called In, and after a diagnosis of the case he decided it was appendicitis. The animal was chloriformed and an operation disclosed a bone in his ap pudix. The canine is now as well and happy as ever and is the envy and admiration ot all the other dogs on the street. : went down on the bottom below the depot and found lots of kohle meysen birds hopping about on the big willow trees. Mr. Schanno was well acquaint ed with the kohle meysen in Germany. The b rd in (iermany is a little larger and of brighter plumage, but otherwise it is the same bird we have here. They are quite small, about the size of a wren, of a greyisn coior, wun uiuck head and throat and white breast; very active and always on the go, looking into every crack and crevice on tne bark of the trees for their insect food. hev build their nests in hollow trees and remain here the year round. The kohle meysen are not numerous enough here to make any headway against the codlin moth. They live in the timber. We have too many trees other thau fruit trees in this valley for them to operate upon, and it would re- uire thousands ot tnetn to oe imporieu to have much effect upon the codlin moth in our orchards. Every shipper of prunes from Corval lis during the' past season has received bills for freight and commission. On one lot of 500 crates sold in Boston the f li ippws were cal led upon to pay $100.60 on three half-carloads, $250, and on another, a single carload, the proceeds of the sale lacked $202 of paying the bills against it. It will be seen from this that the wave of "prosperity" has not struck Hood River as hard as some other fruit-growing districts. The Winesap Apple. Hood River. Oct. 25, 1897. Editor Glacier: The codlin moth, as you well aware, has done us serious damage this season, and threatens to destroy, to a great extent, the value of our orcuaras in tne iuture, unless em dent means are taken to check its rav ages. Systematic and timely spraying, so far, has not been practiced in the valley to my Knowledge. HiViaence, however, is not wanting that Paris green, properly applied and at the right time, will insure a large percent- ace of merchantable apples. There is, however, difficulty in procuring arsen ical preparations or requisite sirengtn and purity, and some uncertainty as to the proper times to apply them. If, theretore, we can nua a variety inai nnaanaanct ti" a (rroo f HairPOQ 1 ITrl 1Y1 1111 t AT from codlin moth, it is certainly a mat ter of great Importance to us.

Hon. Erfiile Schanno was in Hood River Tuesday, inspecting the nursery stock of Tillett & Galligan and of the Columbia nursery. '"-While here he A Distinguished Visitor. Geueral H. B. Compson, one of the Oregon railroad commissioners, was in Hood River for several days last week. Monday he started, with the balance of the board, for a tour of inspection over the Eastern Oregon roads, uov; Lord recently attempted to remove Gen. Compson from the railroad com mission bv the aonointment of I. A Wagner of Salem in his stead, but the general denies his authority to remove him without the consent or tne legisla ture. The matter is now in the hands of the courts, while the general still holds the tort. Gen. Compson is an old soldier of the civil war, and bis rec ord made during tour years or war is one of the best and brightest of any ex-soldier on the Pacific coast. He en tered the 8th New York cavalry in 1861 as a private, and was mustered out at the close of the war as colonel of the regiment. He opened the battle of Gettysburg with his regiment of cav alry, and it is deeply interesting to hear hlui relate nis story or mat great oat- tie. It was bis privilege to stand on Seminary hill and see the memorable charge of Pickett's brigade, when thou sands were mowed down' by grape and canister from the Union guns, wnile the veterans of Lee's army closed up their ranks and rushed on and on to death. He is full of reminiscences of the many battles be was in and the notable men lie met during tne war, but is modest in narrating them unless he is in the company of old soldiers or on the lecture piatiorm. uenerai Compson is a great favorite at Grand Army reunions. He is favorably men tioned as a gubernatorial candidate on the democratic ticket at uext election, and if nominated his support will not be confined to his own party. A Hard Job. F.J. Wright returned Sunday from a harvesting trip to Eastern Oregon and Washington and Idaho. Doug Pay ton, who accompanied him .from here, went to Montana wnen mr, Wright started for home. . He saw Buck and Andy Getchel iu the Palouse country. Mr. Wright worked right along for three mouths at from $2 to $2.50 a day, never loping a day through sickness, while others were generally laid off half the time through inability to stand the work. At some places the men were roused from their bian kets in the open field at half-past 3 in the morning for breakfast, and about 4 o'clock the boss would lead the men to their work iu a regular charge, like sol diers going into battle. Driving header team himself, be would keep the horses on a run, and the men had to keep moving in the same way till 12 o'clock, and again till 8 at night. The hungry men would charge to the din ner table in the mess nouse on wneeis, where they were packed in like sardines, and could they have filled up to sat isfy their appetites, there would not have beeii room for the crowd at the table. But the grub was of the poorest quality and generally poorly cooked, and this saved the men from over-eating. They had no shelter when it rained. As they lived entirely iu the open field they had to take the weather as it came. The returned harvesters all tell the same story of the hard life in the harvest fields. A trip to Klon dike over the mountain trails, It seems to us, would be, preferable to working for the rachmen of the Palouse country, where no mercy is fihown to. man or beast. -".',: ' V ' Report of Commissioner Schanno. Following is a portion of Commis siorier Schanno's report to the state board of horticulture: During the past four months I have visited all of that portion of the fourth district lying west of The Dalles and known as Hood River, Mosier creek, and the Cascades. I find the fruit rop a most excellent one, especially the peaches and prunes, and all small fruit. This season beginning at least two weeks earlier than usual has caused the codlin moth to make its appearance so much earlier. At the present writ ing there are more moths than I ever saw before in the first half of August. The cold weather of last November Injured the fruit trees in some of the localities a good deal. Where the sap was up iu the trees tney were oaaiy in jured. I also find that the injury to trees by cold weather is not cofaned to any prescribed limits or localities. Some orchards have injured trees, while other orchards Immediately con tiguous have no evidence of injury. I made a memorandum of each man's orchard, including location and soil, and also the nature of cultivation, as I think this one of the most important lines that has come before me since I have been a commissioner. I find that heavy clay soil contains more iniured trees than any other. My explanation of this is that during the summer montus tne ciay son urieu out much more than did the sandy loam. The trees thus came to a standstill, and, after the early fall rain, they took a second growth, wnen tne iovemoer frop7.fi c.me on. the san being then up. froze, and resulted in the killing of the trees. The thermometer went at night to 6 and 8 degrees below zero, and in the davtime it went up to w aoove in the sun, and in those cases where the trunks pf the trees were exposed to the sun, the tree was injured tne most, i also found an orchard with half of it lying on the northern and half on the soutiiern exposure. I find the southern exposure was more detrimental to tne trees tnan tne noriuern. Another class of orchards that were injured are the orchards that were culti vated too late in me season auu cioseiy pruned. I was always under the im pression that the trees that were irri gated are the most subject to winter killing. mis is contrary io my ex perience in the last few months. Sev eral times mv attention has been called to irrigated trees tnat were not injured bv the November freeze. 'frees side by side tnat were not irngatea were in jured, while the irrigated trees were unnarmea. in is nas reference oniy io apple trees. The cherry trees that were irrigated I find were at least 60 per cent iniured or Kiuea, ana especially tue Royal Amies. 1 round many orcnaras mat were from five to ten years old that have never borne any apples. My Impression is that most of those orchards are . too highly cultivated and pruned. Where thev are highly cultivated and pruned the growth seems to go to the tree, and prevents the fruit maturing, as it does on trees tnat are less growtniui. x uuu in some orchards that were not pruned for vears and hardly cultivated, tue trees are loaded with fruit. Mistakes may be made either way pruning too , mucu or not pruning enough. As to fruit that stooa tne winter nest, the aooles were the variety. This is caused by early ripening and being in a better condition when the cold weather came on, by reason of the sap being down and tne trees penectiy dor mant. The least injured in the .No vember freeze were the Baldwin, the Winesap, the Red Cheeked pippin and the Wagner. The most tender va rieties are the Yellow Newtown, Spitz- enburg, White Winter Pearmains and the Ben Davis. As to the chrries, find that the Royal Annes and Black Republicans are more iniured than any other. The peach trees have stood the winter better than any other rruit trees Upper Nenl Creek. Mr. E. C. Rouers came in from bis ranch on the headwaters of Neal creek lust week. He brought with him some vegetables to show what that" section will produce. A turnip measured 27 inches in circumference, and some po tatoes he brought along were big and of the best quality.
