FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 1902.
THE 1902 STRAWBERRY CROP.
The net results of the Hood River
strawberry business this Benson are
good enough to satisfy the most san
guine. Before the crop was gathered
last season it was estimated at 40,000
crates and markets were arranged ac
cordingly. But only 38,000 crates were
shipped, leaving a small shortage of the
estimate, and the season's average crop
was about f 2.15 per crate. This season's
eariy estimate oi me crop was ou,uw
crates, and markets were arranged tor
on this basis, but there were 60,000
crates marketed, an amount 20 per cent
above the estimate, yet not withstand
ing this unexpected increase the average
price was held between $2.05 and 2.10.
The cannery was not in operation
this season, the price of fresh fruit being
above a canning basis which cut out the
market for small and ill-shaped berries
that are usually worked into cheap jams
and fruit pulp. Many of these poor
berries were put into the crates along
with good berries and their influence
dragged the price of the whole average
down some 10 or 15 cents per crate, be
sides having a bad effect on future busi
ness. The Davidson Fruit company report
having handled 24,000 crates of berries
which reached the markets in first class
condition and made an average of $2.14
per crate after paying freight and com
missions, and 3050 crates that were not
first class on account of having a per
centage of Inferior berries which arrived
in more or less bad order and brought
an average of (1.40 per crate. This only
demonstrates again that a careful sys
tem of grading is essential and that the
three big words in the fruit business are
QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY, i
The fact that 65 refrigerator carloads
of berries and half as many more in
small express shipments were marketed
and not a single carload was shipped on a
commission basis, gives the strawberry
business in Hood River a solid footing,
while coupled with this Is the fact that
with the unprecedented crop the mar
kets were all far short of a satisfactory
supply. Furthermore these same con
ditions have prevailed for a number of
years. ,
A few years back the effort was to
grow nothing but early berries, but ex
ploiting of new markets has created a
targe and growing demand for berries
to reach the markets during the latter
days of June and early July at fancy
prices, as everyone wants berries during
the ten or twelve days preceding the
Fourth of July.
The increasing demand for late berries
and the cheap, desirable lands which
have recently been made available by
the completion of the extensive irriga
tion systems in the upper part of the
valley makes the matter particularly
interesting to those wishing to engage
in the business or extend their acreage.
The croD this vear of 60.000 mim
was grown on about 450 acres of land
and yielded an income to Hood River
valley of $125,000, or an average of $275
per acre. The crates were all made at
home and the only part of the money
sent out of the Valley was a comparative
ly small amount for lumber and that
taken away by the pickers. ; , .;

iiie water question came up once
more. 1 lie first reading of the new
ordinance granting the Hood River
fepring Water company the right to lay
pipes and mains in the streets of the
town for the purpose of furnishing fire
protection provoked a spirited debate.and
me oiu straw was again threshed and
flailed. Considerable dust and chaff
was gathered in and the formality of
passing an ordinance over its first read
ing was gone through with.
The proposed ordinance presented by
the Hood River Spring Water company
is practically the same as the o.tlinance
passed several weeks ago, excepting
we clause noiaing tne water company
responsible for its acceptance by the
board of underwriters. After the re
corder had finished readmit the same.
P. 8. Davidson spoke in opposition to
..www.,,....,, i... . i. .. : I i
' uj VOUI1UU, CinilTlIn
that as the ordinance stood the city ha
no assurance or guarantee that the
board ot underwriters would reduce in
surance rates after the proposed fire
protection plant was installed. He
wanted the water company to be re-
aponsiuie lor a certain definite water
pressure at all the hydrants, and a
guarantee that the system would bring
reuncea raws.
H. F. Davidson was anxious that the
. i , i rt
town biiuuiu secure are protection as
soon as possible. He said the Portland
board of underwriters had informed him
that unless Hood Kiver secured fire
protection very soon an increase of 50 per
c-n i in insurance rates would De made
on all exposures. He also showed that
with the elevation of the proposed res
ervoir there would be sufficient pres
sure at all the hydrants. "The board of
underwriters have assured me" said Mr.
Davidson, "that if a fire protection
system is put in after the manner des
cribed in the ordinance before us that
an immediate reduction of 25 per cent
will be made in our insurance rates".
P. S. Davidson again took the floor
and reiterated his former statement.
D. McDonald thought the rates for
water should be commensurate with the
' crtv's finances.
. Councilman A. S. Blowers took up
the discussion in behalf of the water
company. He showed that the onli
nance prohibited the raising of water
rates at any time. As to giving bonds
for what the board of underwriters
would do, he challenged anvone to find
business man taking up such a propo
sition. The board of underwriters dic
tated the site of the mains and if the
system when finished did not pass in
spection under the wording of the ordi
nance the water company could not
collect pay for the same. He was will
ing that the company should give bonds
to put in the sytem according to the
demands of the ordinance.
McDonald did not think the talk was
ftincere and claimed that there w as a
discrepancy in the matter of mains.
P. 8. Davidsosi wanted to know how
many ponnd pressure there would be
$ each hydrant, sad thonght the water
company should guarantee an 80" pound
pressure (supposed to be a good working i
pressure) at the highest hydrant. That;
unless this were done rates would not be
reduced in the resident portion of the
town.
H. F. Davidson replied that rates
would not be reduced any way except
in the business district, that the rates
in the residence district were identical
with those in the country.
If the system would not furnish 80
pounds pressure at the highest hydrant,
and Mr. Blowers admitted that perhaps
it would not, P." 8.' Davidson said we
would not be getting fire protection, and
objected to the city paying for some
thing it did not get.
The ordinance passed first reading re
ceiving two negative votes from D. Mc
Donald and P. 8. Davidson
D. McDonald; chairman of the street
committee, made a verbal report to the
effect that the damage to the pest house
by fire from the railroad was appraised
at $105; that Robert Rand would sell
the city the lot on Fourth street just
north of the K. of r. hall for (i00, tak
ing half cash and the balance on time ;
that the fruit fair wanted the use of Oak
street between'' Fourth and Fifth for
placing the fair tent. ''.'-.- . .
On motion of Davidson the matter
of purchasing a town lot and making
Payments on the same wits" left in the
ands of the street committee.! The
same committee is also to furnish plans
and estimates on a my building, l tie
matter of using' the streets by the fruit
fair was left with the street committee
with the understanding that the city
authorities were favorable to such a
proposition.
Marshal Dukes was ordered to rigidly
enforce the -stock-ordinance and to im
pound all horses and cattle found loose
on the streets. The marshal will be
glnd to answer all telephone .calls noti

The fund will pay,for advertising lit

Harriman immigration department
and distributed in a manner in which
it will he sure to be read. For instance,
the railroad will send out trained lectu

Borne people have offered criticisms
to the eflect that the railroad is getting
pay to do what has lieen done by other

The fuetof the matter Is that a neigh

gille Returns,
Jim Langille returned Saturday night
from a three weeks' prospecting trip in
the recesses of the Cascades between
Mount Adams and the Cowliti river to
the north. He went in by way of Mount
Adams and returned down the Cowliti
to Winlock on the Northern Pacific.
Jim says, his party brought out what
ought to pro good pay rock, but the
region from Uich it cnnie is almost in
accessible. The country to the north
of Mount Adams ig about as rough a
region as one could find.1 The mountains
are barren and rocky, and thousands of
feet high, with canyons a mile deep.
Jim snys that thei thunderstorm of
about two weeks ago was particularly
severe uiaf his cuoip. Lightning came
down in solid bolts, and while snapping
thick and fast around him, a pine tree
near bv w as struck and set on tire by the
lightning. The flames the next minute
were leaping 150 feet in the air. A
In-ary rain shortly afterward put out
what threatened to be a distructive
forest fire. Mr. Langille was so
eompaiiied on the trip by Judge A. R.

A saloon keeper of Denver opened a
wine room for women.' The city passed
an ordinance prohibitum such a place
for females. 1 he man asked for an in
"...
junction restraining the city from en
forcing the ordinance. He contended
that he had as much right to sell liquor
to women as to men, and that they have
as much right to drink as men have.
He also referred to the fact that female
suffrage prevailed in Colorado, and ar
gued that since women have been given
the right of suffrage, they stand on the
same footing in all respects as men, and
hence are entitled to "the pursuit of
happiness" and the same "rational en
joyment" as their brothers. The case
is now in the hands of the United States
