The Question of Strawberry Shipments. Hood River Feb. 21, 1808 Editor Glacier: We have before us a copy of a Davidson Fruit Co. circular, contain ing incorrect and misleading state ments which place the union in a false position before the people. We agree with his first assertion, that all of the profits that can be secured belong to the Growers, and we practice this If others have not. 'i lie personal animosities and prejudices they ppeukof are entire ly in the ruliids oi themselves and the few growers whom they claim say they will not ship with the union. 'I'll is was the trouble last year: After the management of the Davidson Fruit Co. utterly failed in their illegal at tempt to secure. 'control of the union, they set up their opposition, tli6 results of which became too plain to tie be for gotton so soon. At the annual meet ing tiie growers did show, most of them, a very marked desire to create ' harmony, and, as we understand the matter, the greater part of them voted for H. F. Davidson lor director for the express purpose of doing away with the opposition, namely, the Davidson Fruit Co. We, and others, understood from his friends who, by the way, had can vassed the valley that this would" pro mote harmony. Mr. Morse was asked If this would create harmony. He said he thought it certainly would; "at any rate, it would make Davison show his hand, whether he really wanted har mony or not. " He has clearly shown it, for the directors have repeatedly asked him if there was any position the Union could give him, except secretary, that would induce him to not run the Da vidson Fruit Co. He said the union had no position that he would enter tain. The secretary ' told him that it he (the secretary) was causing the dis sention, and he thought we could pos sibly secure harmony by such a course, he would resign in his favor. Mr. Da vidson said he did not think we could; in fact, lie knew we could not. As to the resolutions lie presented to 41... I I .. : , i.. ,1 ,1 i . mo uuhiu, . uiey uuuoiuiuusijr ueuiueu they could not morally or legally en tertain tlieui, especially coming fiom a private concern. If they did, they would for like cause have to treat with every two or three growers who might see fit to demand it, as well as any firm, a condition that would simply be this: The union, which is reuily its patrons, would have to protect every comer who wanted protection, hut who docs not want to pay his pioportioua. part of the expense of keeping the union up; besides the unnecessary com petition this course would naturally bring on by such distribution. The union does not make a practice of put ting one part of a car in competition with the rest, which would hat-. u rally be the case if more than one party controlled the fruit . in the tar. The Davidson Fruit Company have tiie cart before the hoise'in all of their propositions in their effort to place the union in the position oi the opposition. That company was nothing more nor less than an opposi tion lust year, as the union shipped to the same principal markets that it had beto.e, and to the same houses, as a .uliul'dl tlit.wr tilth Ai.i..iEjil(i.ii It..!.... or taking, law bouses in these mar kets, anil in most cases they ship ped an excessive amount when they had tilt ni, when the proposition of holding up prices was taken into ac count. They kept this up until they (we say "they' because it clearly was the Davidson Fruit Co. that ruiuouslvl broke the Montana markets. Then the union commenced supplying Mon tana by car lots on refrigeration, and raised (lie price because they could, from the fact of one party having con trol of all the berries in the car. Yet they had double the amount that bad ever, been shipped there before iu one day. - And the local express shipments arriving in so much poorer condition, this stopped the opposition to a great extent in Montana. The result was they got the same price for their later shipments that they got in Milwaukee for two cars of berries, namely, "about nothing." 'I his was what was referred to when Mr. Davidson was asked by a director how long he supposed his growers (as he seems to consider some to be) would stay with that kind of an object lessou. That part of thecircular stamped Davidson Fruit Co. (why did they not sign this part of the circular?) is no doubt in regard to this and has the facts turned round. As lliey state it it is wholly contrary to the (ruth. .Now, the entire circular can be staled iu a tew words: The growers ought to compel the union to let the Davidson Fruit Co. put its berries into union cars, especially those for Montana, by which means it can put up a good op position throughout the entire season, and they would like to have the union use their agent there. Growers cer tainly ought to do this for the benefit of those dear people who say they will not ship by the union but want uniou protection. In the preamble or essay sent to the board, February 15, h, by A. P. Bute ham, secretary, it is stated that David son look advantage of the flist oppor tunity to stale to the board that he was convinced that the better plan would be for the Davidson Fruit Co. to con tinue iu business. Now, we know that he had been corresponding with Mon tana people in Helena and Butte with a view oi arranging for agencies for'the Davidson Fruit Co. prior to this, as one of its last-year's correspondents so slated. This correspondent wanted to arrange with the union this year, if possible. It was ou this account that the board insisted upon knowing from him if he proposed to run the Davidson Fruit Co. this season. He finally suid lit intended to. Then, when asked if lie could morally and letally sit on the board of the union and run his opposi tion, the Davidson Fruit Co., he said he thought tie could, as he could assist us in many ways. His food for candid minds, when coriecily and plainly stated, is rather thin, or would be if one took it lor a year. ' " One word to the growers: Let us all stand by the uniou, its articles and by laws. As we have sworn to act for the best interests of the fruit growers of Hood River valley, and knowing that j t wo forwarding companies will be the death of the strawberry business, if continued, we decline to enter into any combination with any compauy whereby fruit shipped in the same car to the same market will enter into competition with itself, None know better than we that two shipping con cerns are not for the liest interests of the producer. We feel that those who make it possible for a company iu op position to the co-operative company of the valley to do business are those at fault, and the blame must fall on them and not ou the directors of the union. Iu 1896 the union ran behind $92,and in 1897 it 'gained $190 over expenses, therefore we deem it just and projier that the union charges should lie only enough to defray running expenses, and will handle the strawberry crop for 8 cents per crate this season.

Ed itor Glacier: The adage that the "uu expected always happens" was exem plified by the unprecedented rush and grand success of the wharf ball. Every body was there the beauty and chiv alry of Btevenson, the elite of Hood River aud the fin decide of The Dalles, all were there. One hundred and sev enty-five tickets were sold. At8 o'clock lust evening the people began to gather at Lauterbacn's hall to dance until they could dance no more. 'the steamer Regulator from The Dalles came down, bringing about 40 couples, and soon the question was, What are we to do with them all? it was feared the building might collapse under the immense crowd, there being about 300 couples in the hall; but there proved to be room for all, and the building proved all right and was able and willing to hold 300 more just such a tine lot of people. A fine collation was served at mine inn, the Myeis ho tel. Oyster soup, chicken salads, hot house lettuce, pies and cakes galore, astore, tili you could not, hold any more. One could hardly notice that the Hood River boys had ever been away before to a public ball, and it is gratifying to the White Salmon people that our sister townsmen, know bow to he such nice gentlemen when they get a chance. The White Salmonites now point with derision and scorn at the mud ianding of Hood River, with our $3,000 wharf, built by the people here with a population of about one-tenth of the town of Hood River; one church, one secret society, one strawberry union, one saw mill and one people, united in heart and hand, tells the story. "Go thou and do likewise." XION. Out correspondent makes a good showing for his side of the river in compariou with ours, and we are glad to note that Hood River' blood has infused new life into that community. Maybe when their "one union" ships its own berries our side may have but one union, too. Ed. ; The Moro Observer says Frank Men efee is spoken of by his many friends in connection with the republican nomination for prosecuting attorney for this judicial district. Mr. Menefee has numerous friends in Hood River who will be glad to see hiiu placed in nomination. Excitement in Hood River for the past week has been divided between the disaster to the battle-ship Maine and the trouble here at home over the question of shipping our fruit. It would be hard to decide which has called forth the most talk. The situ ation in both cases s serious, and it is hoped that wise counsel will be heeded. The More Observer says our old-time friend Dad Eastabrook will mauipulate antimony ou Moro's new newspaper, the Leader; . ; - '. Republican County Convention.
