Hood Iftver Slacier THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 1904. John E. Lathropof the Pacific North went uttered truth aa well aa poetry when he penned the following: "The Columbia gathera its water from ten thousand mountain streams, which, when confluent, form the niajei tic waterway of ' the globe. I'M" t,iat great stream, the Orejon 1 evelopment League haa gathered into one body the rivulets of influence throughout the ' atate. Toe Columbia atanda for Ore gon 'i poetry in commerce. The Oregon Development League will stand for Ore- fon'a future growth along material linea he sunshine on a rcore of hundred mountain peaks melts tho anowa that crown their crests. '1 he warmth of com mon sympathy will thaw the ice of pre vious coldness between one section and another. The Chinook winds in a quarter-day, sweep away great snow on the higher summit and bring dow n vast flood lo All to overflowing the banks of our mighty river. The forces that started this Oregon Development Lekgue are collecting in one great wave of power that will sweep over the atate. The retroactive dreamer of the past, the ultra-conservative, the obstructionist, these had better move from the path way of that Hood, else they will be en gulfed. It ia now the day of progress, and the Oregon Development League henceforth will he the engine to draw the atate along its promised lines of ad vancement." The city has reached the point where it can no longer get along without fire protection or sewer. Business is be ginning to suffer for lack of the former, and the lack of the latter is becoming a serious menace to health. Jt is up to the city council to secure both of these needs at soon as possible. The Water company claim to be in a position to furnish an adequate supply of water for all purposes, and if they can do so, the city should give them the contract, in stead of taking the risk of waiting an other year for something better. The right-of-way for the sewer ontlet into the river has not yet been obtained, and while the railroad company oppose the opening of the street through their right-of-way, yet it is apparently the only course open. The city does not wish to annoy the railroad company in ny way, but the public interests are paramount. It is to be hoped that the city council will recognize the necessity of taking some definite action next Monday evening. The Chicago Packer of July 30 is brim full of comprehensive reports on the ap ple crop of the United Btates and Ku rope. From New York, New England and Canada come reports of full crop. In Illinois the outlook is reported gloomy In Missouri and Arkansas there will not be 25 per cent of a full crop. The European yield will run larger than it did lust year. Ameri can apples will be needed there, but they mutt meet the competition of a healthy crop. From this it would ap pear that high prices will not be expect ed In continental markets. Iowa will have a fair apple crop. The crop is good in Michigan, but not so plentiful in the Ohio valley. Colorado people are cheer ful over their crop. California will have about 00 per cent of a crop. And thus the story goes. It is possibly a little early to gather predictions on prices. The 0. R. & N. Co. lias issued a beau tiful little booklet entitled "The Colum bia River, through Cascade Mountain to the Pacific Ocean." Including a well writen descrijition of the trip up the Columbia, the work ot Rinaldo M. Hall, the advertising man of the O.

The only incident which oc curred to mar the Joyousness of the trip was me misioriune sustained by A. I. Mason in the loss of hi hat a fine Stetson (T), which he wore only on ex- iraoruinary occasions ana prized very highly. A stealthy and treacherous gust of wind came upon him unan nouueed, and in a flash his favorite headwear was far down the steep and ruggei mountain Blue, apparently mak ing its way for a monster crevasse. The separation was evidently final and there ford extremely melancholy. A tempo rarv gloom settled upon the party, which, however, was soon disiielled in admiration ol the wildly grand scenery surrounding them. As they passed Cooper's Sour, with is lonmuung oieaanes and barren nes, Mr. Mason was heard to sav: "At last I have found a congenial snot for the lien Davis apple. They should be colonized like lepers, and Cooper's Spur is an uieai place ior the flavorless, worthless and friendless Ben Davis." Although slightly fatigued when ramp was reaeoeu, alter me day s exertion, the climb was well worth the effort, for the beauty and grandeurof Mount Hood must De een to be appreciated. A por tjon of thg time was spent in explora Hons, imludit g a v'sit to the fulls, the source of Howl liver, and other point of interest.

APPLE PACKING HARD PROBLK The call meeting of a; p'-1 grower and apple packers at the rooms of Un commercial club last Saturday after noon was largely attended. Two hours and a half were occupied in the discus- ion ot plans whereby the growers and the packers could come to an amicable understanding regarding wages And the guarantee of a good pack. On motion of F. V. Audits the whole matter war then left to the board of directors to decide as they saw fit. At tlie oiieiiiiiK of the nieetlnir, A I Mason, president of the Apple Grower's union, Kitted the object ol the patncr- ini2. the directors had loiind the question of packing a hard problem to solve, and wished to receive suggestion from (lie growers ami the packers. Last year, said Air. Mason, pome ot the growers considered that the pack inn cost too much, while the puckers be lieved they did not receive enough for wages The members of the union h not wish to lower the grade of tlieii pack, continued the president, but thev do believe thev should lower the cost to the grower. Chris i.ettiiiian stated that his imck lust year was not satisfactory He hail everything handy for the puckers, and most ot the truit wns lour-tier, yet hit' jiacking cost him 10 rents a hox. Mr. Avery declared he was new nt the business, never having handled apples until two years ago, therefore he preferred to listen to growers with more experience, lie had little limit to find with the work last year. J. W. Wicklmm had no particular objection to make, except fiat Ins pack ing cost mm too much last year, hut this he laid to the lutein ss of the season. Mr. Cash, who resides on the linker place, HHked how apples were handled ;.. II I f: T-i : . ii ill uoou iviver. i iiih geimcniau comes from Idaho, where he has had consider able experience in largo orchard. Mason am wered the question by say ng that tan lull the puckers were paid i rents an hour for their work. This Included Isinrd and the time occupied in going from one place to another. The packers furnished their own beds. They frequently slept in barns. J.U. Jarvis had no complaint to offer, except that too many of his Kpity.cn liergt. of . light color were thrown out, when he thought them marketable fruit. His apples cost him four cents a box for packing. He hud the fruit graded before the packers set to work on it. Mr. Shoemaker had objections to the packers baling their selection of apples on color. For that reason he was forced to stop the pack. U. It. t'BHtner had no complaint to make. He kept no record of the cost of his pack. lie hud beginners in his packing house who made as high as I- a day, and girls who possibly made less. He put the apples on a table already graded. He believed that pack ers should not be expected to have their time taken np in grading and culling! the fruit. It is too much trouble for the packer, and results in too great a cost to tlie grower. F. 0. Church said things wore satis factory with him, and tbut his pack cost him five cunts a box, nut considering meals. W. J. linker hud no experience with the union packers necaiiM' they were so lute in go1 ting around to hi place last year that he was rompullod to pack the apples himself. His apples were (ticked six week or two months, he said, be fore the packers were ready to work for him. President Mnsou explained that this dillicultv was to he obviated this veur, Kvery effort will lie made to give the growers a square deal. He hoped the members of the union would endeavor to treat the direttors with the same fairness that the directors expected to exert toward the growers. lie hoped the niemiier ot the union would deal leniently with tho hoard, who were endeavoring to profit by the mistakes encountered last season. Mr. Cash then explained the methods of apple growing in Orchard Valley, Idaho. In that country the apples are packed in the orchard. The cold stor age dealers who take the apples demand this method of packing with the least handling possible. Apples packed In the orchard brought from 25 to 60 cents more jier lox t1 an apple that hud to receive additional bundling. There me packing tables in every fourth row o trees. At each table were six pucker-, one nailer, one carrier and ten pickers. I he packers had to sort the fruit. Tlii-v had a gunge by which to grade lie apples. Soon they learned to size tin the fruit without the L'liBire test, (inl and women did the packing. There nwrp nuvvntl bvhiuiiis Ul paCKlllu. I lit- packing cost u cents a box, where the fruit was wrapped ami layer paper used In three and one half tier lien Davis the cost wo reduced to It1 cents, and for Jonathans 4 cents. The npple were supposed to be handled as if they were soft shelled eggs. Mr. Avery asked if the apples i Idaho were wi-d. Mr. Cash replied that they were not. He said the merchants in the Kast bn been educated to know that the spiny was necessary to produce perfect fiob, and that it does not injure tho quality of the apple to have the lime left oii He believed bv packing the apples w itb out wiping tliem; thev kept lonuer. Nature give them an oily coating which erts to keep the decay germs limn the apple, and it is better that apples are not wiped: Mr. Mason explained I hut apple pack ing could not be carried on in Oregon orchard as the ruin would interfere, and Mr. Angus added that the wind would blow away all the pajn-r. Mr. Carroll of Mosier, who will have 5,(XX) boxes of apples this year, said heretofore he had sold his crop in the orchard and the buyer had rooked after the packing, but in regard to wiping the ajiples, he believed this was a mis take. He found those apples kepi longer thut were not wied when picked, lie believed the fruit eh uld lie sorted for the puckers. The grower would be more apt to lake lietter care of the mall apples, which if saved, brought nearly a much In the spring as do the larger apples in the fall of the year. t The PARIS FAIR 7 mi .Al A D0NV.v.'L?. li-m 11' . iTf.rJu I IS LINE miUI FOR Women Made at as an SkltftAf The above cut U of our "Water.

V. Mo s raid his pack last year cost hitn 7 cents a box. This he consid ered too high. He did not believe the grower should pay for the packer's time in going from one runch to another. Mason arose and had some more intelligence to inipait. In his opinion, he paid too much for beginners in the packing srt. His four-tier apples e st him H.7 for 90', which lie considered too high. He said there were too many iKifses in the packing houses lout year. He al) believed the light colored apples should lie packed by themselves, rather than lie thrown from the box, as there will tie a large number of light colored Spitxeuliergs produced in Hood River within the next few years, since the young trees are very apt to bear light colored apples. The directors will aim to overcome tlii objection this year. The packers were then called upon to have their say. K. W. Angus declared he was a grow er as well as a packer. The packer uiut-t put in all his time to get wages. At too many of the farms last year, there was insufficient light to enable the packer to put in 10 hours of work. The packers in going to a new place were compelled to make their own ar rangement for packing. Some of the growers had no idea how the packing tables should lie arranged, and all this work must be counted in on the packer's time if he is expected to muke a living wage. Kurthermii:!', no grower took the trouble to hitch up and take the packing crew to the new packing place. The tables were not uniform. In some places he had to work in the cold with an overcoat on. In other place it was a dark barn where the door had to lie kept closed or the wind would blow all the wrapping paper outside. Mr. Hlranalian, another one of the packers, considered the pay received last year small enouiih. Unless a far mer had at leant 100 boxes, it is a losing proposition to work by the piece, loo much time is required in moving from place to place. Mason suggested a sliding rcale.Angus said a sliding scale would he O. K. if the packers were supplied with proper tables. The cost of packing will come hiuher to the small urower. A mm be iieve the packers and tho growers must get together and arrange their own prices. Mr. Cash said the urowers should pack their own fruit; that they have children who can do the work, and lur thermnre the country will require pack ers by the thousand in a few years. The children must learn, or who will be here to do the packing? Muhoii replied that fruit dealer do not want fruit packed by the grower. A packer's label is required on all fruit. Ham Campbell thinks t'i a day none too high for packers. He preferred a sliding scale for the different sized fruit, and would hold the pucker responsible tor Iiih work, O. H. Costlier struck a hiiNlnest key note when he declared member of the union were making assertions which would be dillicult to carry out when closing contracts for the sale ot apple. "We may have to accept the inspection of the buyers, said lie. llie union will have to live up to the conditions that may be required." Mr. Castner think the small grower should bring their apples to a central point where the packer could do the work. Mr. Avery suggested the packers be given rents an hour where less than 50 lioxes are packed at one place. The debate drifted to the question of leuciuug new pucKcrs. i resident ma son said that with the good prospects for packers in Hood Kiver there should he little trouble in securing recruits '"i'hIi preferred women puckers. 1". V. Angus moved that the matter f payment for the packer be left with the Isiard of director. The motion pre . a led and the meeting adjourned. N'd Ids .Sentiments on Rase Hull. Hood River. Or..
