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

ter of great Importance to us.
On mv Heuluu Lianu place is a small
group of old apple trees that have never

have over 85 per cent of sound Wine-
saps against about 40 per cent of sound

Kiingeriana, ivopKe, LiocKe, yourseir,

everywhere I find that the Winesap is
a resistant variety, to a greater extent,
than any other grown iu our orchards

that the fruit Is so very hard tiiat the
larva of the codlin moth finds great
difficulty in effecting an entrance.
The Winesap is of medium size, an
early and productive bearer, or l.ivic-
lug color, good quality ana an excel
lent keeper. It also adheres more tena
ciously to the tree than any other va
riety I am acquainted with, a most
valuable quality ior tnis locality.

Lord recently attempted to remove

general denies his authority to remove
him without the consent or tne legisla

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

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. Mr. Davis, who is
farming near wnere Mr. ixogers ana
is sons have located homesteads, has
fine crops of all kinds. His barn is full
of wheat hay, and he has farmed his
place only two years. Tne lana in tnis
section is now all taken. Sixteen land
seekers stopped one night at Davis'
place two weeks ago. John Gregory
has erected a steam saw mill and will
soon have a shingle mill in operation.
Gregory has had surveyed a route for
an electric car line to Mosier, to ship
his lumber and shingles to the railroad.
It has been found that Hood Kiver is
three miles nearer the settlement and
with a much better grade for an electric
road, and another survey will be made
n this direction. The country is ncn
in good soil and timber and bids fair
to be one of the most prosperous settle
ments in Wasco county.
