THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1908.
Reported Saltf or Big Mill.
A report wan current on the street of
Hood River during tlie fore pari of the
week tliat the Oregon Lumber company
has purchased the big eaw mill and
timber lands of the Lost Lake Lturfber
company. A ulacier reporter sought
out representatives of both companies
but neither aide had any information to
make public. As Charles Early of (be
Oregon Lumber company would neit her
deny nor affirm the report, it is a safe
conjecture that the sale will really take
place. The sale price is reported to be
from 125,000 to $132,000. Further par
ticulars will be forthcoming next week
Price for Picking and Packing.
Hood River strawberry growers this
year will pay a cent and a half a box for
picking, and $1 a day or half a cent a
box for packing. This is the decision
reached at a meeting of 75 strawberry
men in a. u. u. vv. naif, last Saturday
The meeting was presided over by II
F. Davidson, manager of the Davidson
Fruit company. Mr. Davidson stated
that his company and the Fruitgrowers
Union were daily receiving letters of in
quiry from people who want to come to
Hood Kiver to pick strawberries. In
order that these people may be given a
detinue answer the strawberry men ol
the valley should decide on a set price
wmcn tney win pay tor picking and
packing. Mr. Davidson said further
that a great many people after making
Inquiry about the price tor picking, etc.,
do not come because tney cannot be
assured that the farmers will provide
shelter lor the pickers.
The motion that pickers be paid
cent and a half a box provoked much
discussion. 8. C. Zeigler of White Sal
mon said that when the best part of
the berry season on his side of the river
was over he found it necessary to pay 2
cents or more a box, in order to keep
the pickers from crossing to Hood River
where berries were more plentiful
Borne ot the Hood Kiver growers exper
fence the same difficulty, and have
had pickers leave early patches in the
lower part ol the valley lor better pick
inir farther ud the vallev. A suggestion
that pickers be secured by contract for
the season, and that they should forfeit
a percentage of their earnings by leaving
before the end of the season, met with
little favor. Judge A. It. Uyrkett re
marked that as the price of wageemvery-
where is higher now than lor
years past, the customary price of
cent and a half a box may not be
sufficient inducement to secure pickers.
An amendment was proposed making
ine price tor picking a cent ana three
quarters, and riving packers three-
fourths of a cent a box. This would
mean an additional cost of 9 cents to the
grower, and was voted down by a big
majority.
The difficulty of keening nickers
throughout the season and of securing
satisfactory work is a serious question
with the growers. Lee Morse said he
treated his pickers with consideration
and had the same ones return each
year. During the hot days he keeps his
two boys packing drinking water to the
pickers, and also has them carry the
nand crates to the packing house. A.u,
Btaten thought the growers should pro
vide a comfortable building as shelter
for the pickers. H. C. Bateham offered
a scheme for building bunk and mess
houses for the pickers at some central
location in each neighborhood.
B. F. Shoemaker thought the growers
were too much at the mercy of the
ditch companies and that it was up to
the strawberry men to do something to
secure more irrigating water.
Those having strawberry crates had
their say and the meeting adjourned.
Crop Estimated at 80,000 Crates.
This yea. 's crop of strawberries is es
timated to reach so.uuo crates, or more.
No definite estimate has as vet been se
cured this spring, and these figures are
based on the estimates made last fall,
when the Increased acreage was planted
This estimate is considered rather low
by Borne, who think the total number of
crates will reach 90,000 or more. The
1902 crop amounted to between 57,000
and om.uuu cratcB.
It is too early in the season to secure
an estimate on prices. The crops in
California and the Eastern states will
govern the prices to a great extent, and
it will depend on whether the California
and Eastern strawberries ripen at or
about the same time. The demand.
though, still keeps up for the Hood River
product, and if the right quality of fruit
is put up, mere win ue liuie to worry
a uo in regarding the price.
G. J. GesHling. secretary of the Hood
River Fruit Growers' Union, announces
that this year the union will ship noth
iug but first-class berries. A rigid in
spection will be enforced, and if any
Derries.tall below the average they will
be marked second or third class, as they
may be, and the grower of the Bame will
receive returns for just the quality of
fruit he ships. The union expects to
develop new markets this season in
North Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska. It
has been found that markets in the
smaller cities, such as Fargo and Orand
Forks, are more satisfactory than the
larger cities.
