FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, iS97. j
The pension appropriation bill, which
parsed congress lust week, called forth
debate that took a wide range. Gen.
Grosvenor said he would favor the
. abolishment of all examining boards
and allow every ex-soldicr a pension.
Tills we believe would be the most sat
isfactory and economical pension pol
icy in the end. There are about one
million pensioners, and the great ma
jority of tlieiri receive only from $6 to
$8 a mouth, or a total of from $72,000,
000 to $96,000,000 a year. The bill just
passed carries an appropriation of $141,
03,880. The examining boards and
the army of clerks Investigating claims
and keeping records eat up a good por
tion of this appropriation; and a big
part of the difference between ninety
six millions and one hundred and
forty-one millions is paid In exorbitant
petitions to the widows of generals and
prominent men and others who are
placed on the pension roll by special
legislation. If a soldier has a friend
in congress to introduce a special bill
for his pension, It goes through, and he
gets a good deal more than the $6 or $8
u month allowed the man who may be
more worthy the government's bounty
but hasn't even a "hospital record" to
help him get on the pension roll. This
special pension business is class legisla
tion of the worst kind. Grover Cleve
land never vetoed a "special" pensiou
bill without doing the honest pension
ers a great service. A service pension
would stop all special pensions. The
newspapers are calling for the publica
tion of tiie pension roll. It is asserted
by some thai one-third of the pension
ers at present are fraudulent. The
publication of the list could hurt no
worthy soldier receiving a pension, and
we hope it will be ordered by congress.
It is also claimed that young women
are marrying old men in the soldiers'
homes with the sole purpose of getting
a widow's pension. It would be an
easy matter to deny a pension where
the claim showed fraud of this kind.
There is really no cause for alarm
about fraudulent widows swelling the
pension appropriations when we con
sider whut a hard task it is for a legit
imate widow to become a pensioner.
We have a case right here In Hood
River which proves that it is not an
easy matter for a soldier's widow to
procure a pension. A. K. I sen berg
died May 3, 1807. He was a pensioner
on account of wounds received f u battle.
His widow, now an invalid and desti
tute, who was married to him 25 years
ago, has so far been unable to obtain a
pension, though her friends have been
persistent iu trying to assist her in
proving her claim to a pension. Her
claim will of course be allowed some
day, because It is just, but not until the
pension office is assured of that fact be
yond a doubt. If Mrs. Iseuberg bad
been the widow of a general or of a con
gressman with a "war record," who
had been on the government pay roll
at a fat salary all his life, her pension
would have been granted as soon as a
"special" bill could be introduced in
congress, and no paltry $8 a month
would be her portion.
Remedy for the CodUn Moth.
An old pioneer of Oregon and Wash
ington, who has been interested in
fruit culture all his life, writes as fol
lows:
I have been hearing of the serious
damage done to the apple crop at Hood
River by the codlin moth, which has
impelled me to write and try to be lie tit
youf locality by giving you my ob
sei vutionH and experience. As nature's
Insect destroyer, there is nothing bet
ter than the centipede, as I have found
The centipede Is found all over the
world and certainly is the best forest
cleanser known. It is a crustacean,
with bones on the outside, and is a
real vertebra animal, with I don't ex
actly know how many joints, and a
pair of legs to each joint, and Is consid
ered poisonous in tropical countries.
'It cannot swim nor fly and has some
very potent enemies, which destroy It
in some parts of the world. Flocks of
sheep or goats will destroy them where
the sheep' and coats are pastured in the
forests; also, close, clean cultivation of
fields or orchards will kill ordrive them
away. Iu an orchard they should be
protected by giving them nests of rub
bish, rotten wood, stone piles or slabs
oi rotten Darn jam under the trees.
They also require some moisture and
will not stay without it. In this cli
mate they do their feeding entirely in
the night time. When I settled here
it had been an old logging camp and
fires had burnt off the timber. The
centipedes had been destroyed and
were tnree or tour years in returning.
My trees got quite foul with the black
scale, fungus and various kinds of
aphis. 1 sprayed a good deal but failed
to keep my orchard clean; but the cen-
now my orchard is cleau and bears
well, and the fruit is of the best oual
i'y. The shrubs and small fruits are
cured also. p
Strong Points in Favor of Union.
Surely our berry growers have learn
ed a few things by experience. We
have, learned that war is expensive,
Everybody preaches the doctrine that
a house divided against itself cannot
sitiud, but what good is the preaching
without the .practice. last summer,
while representing the Hood River
Fruit Growers' Union iu Montana, a
prominent dealer said 10 me: "The fail
ure of your growers to unite in one
union has cost all of tiiem 50 cents a
crate on the whole of the Montana
shipments. Other dealers said, "That'll
so." The greater the number of deal
ers controlling the sale of our lie tries
and the more numerous the sources of
supply, the greater the danger of un
principled competition ana sales rum-
ous to the grower. Even if we have
only the "principled" dealers to handle
our trutt, still there may oe war at our
expense. For what is the first princi
ple ot such a oealerv it is (ins: "we
will not be undersold by our compet
itors; we will meet his prices." He I
must keep his customers and get more.
The grower is not a customer, but is
often the victim of this rule governing
competitors in trade. When his small
returns are sent in he is likely remind
ed of "the great law of supply and de
mand," that scape-goat ot many crimes,
and the producer too often believes that
he and a few of his neighbors have ac
tually glutted the markets ot the world!
Such are the chances of war. Now,
compare the results of war with the re
wards of peace. .Last year our growers
had war at both ends of the line and
received 47 per cent of the gross sales,
while the express company that in a
few days carried the product of a whole
year's labor of about, 150 growers, re
ceivedthat is, "took" nearly 32 per
cent or tne gross sales. I lie express
company had no war on its hands. It
was at peace with itseir and an tne
world. Express companies, according
to my observation, do not continue in
business for their health.
Having represented the union in va
rious markets l he pust three years, I
think I understand some things after
investigation better than before. There
is seldom an over-supply of tine fruit,
but frequently an over-supply of poor
fruit. The latter is profitable chiefly
to the transportation company that
hauls it. The commission man scowls
when it arrives. The retailer buys it
sparingly when he has to, and the ped
dler hovers around like vulture seek
ing something to tit his case, and smiles
the only smile. I am convinced that
the only way to contend against this
poor fruit is to "overcome evil with
good." The good can be made to crowd
out the bad. You know, "Nature ab
hors a vacuum" and so does a market
in strawberry time. If it cannot, be
properly supplied with tine fruit.it will
tolerate, even seek for "anything" to
fill the vacuum. The real demand is
for good fruit, uniform quality, prime
condition on ariival, regular and ample
supply. The locality capable of meet
ing these requirements can feed the
market But this requires carloads
and co-operation. Only & few local
ities are favorable for such a business;
but a few such places will supply the
greater part of the berries consumed iu
the future. The small shipper will be
elected to follow some other business
Last summer's experience in Butte
demonstrated this proposition. When
our first car arrived the town was full
of berries of all grades from many lo
calities. The car had hardly left Poc
atello before dealers liegan to make
baste to get rid of everything on hand
and' peddlers loaded their wagons with
berries not generally called "peddler's
stock" at great bargains. Damaged
berries went at 25 cents a crate iu wag
on loads, and many thought our car
had smashed the market and that ruin
would be our portion. But by phone
and wire our 600 crates were placed be
fore arrival. We had the only good
"shipping stock" iu Montana, and the
market was ours for the first time.
Stragglingshipments from many points
ceased. City buyers, seeing the good
quality and condition of our fruit,
bought liberally, and that, too. at bet
ter prices than we could get the day
before for express receipts. Yes, the
market was "smashed," and the Hood
River people have it within their power
to occupy in this way several markets
which we must feed if our industry is
to live. We must go wherever a car
load business can be done, including
Colorado and all the country west of
the Rocky Mountains. The more we
can do in this country the less we shall
be compelled to do iu the Missouri
river markets in poor years, such as
last year, when the combination of cir
cumstances was more unfavorable than
may occur again in many years.
While in Denver, in 1806, the pro
prietor of the strongest commission
house in that city said to me: "There
is no locality in the United States that
has advantages equal to Hood River
for supplying strawberries in carloads."
Said he, "Why don't you people raise
some berries and combine as one man,
so that you can supply the markets?"
We have seen bad luck by high water
and suffered the effects of hard times;
but must we lose our heads? A short
time ago the wheat farmers were dis
couraged; the cattle man wore a down
cast look; the horse man "threw un
the sponge," and the sheep man vigor
ously implored a national political
party to save him from utter ruin. In
our situation the best thing to do is to
persist with as much nerve as we can
command. When the load is heaviest
and the mire the deepest is the time for
all to put their shoulders to the wheel.
We must maintain harmony in order
to overcome the difficulties. Small
differences should uot.be magnified.
A little concession and a "whole lot" of
unanimity for the common good is de
cidedly iu order at this time.

Waterjor 1898.
Parties wishing to purchase water
from the Valley Improvement Co. for
the season of 1898 are requested to send
in their. written applications at once,
stating bow many inches of water are
wanted and where the same is to be
used.
In order to sell more than 200 or 250
inches of water considerable work will
have to be done, and unless we are sure
we can sell more than this number of
inches next season, we do not wish to
incur the expense of enlarging the
ditch.- Written applications for the
exact amount to be used will he re
quired. , F. Davenport.
