HOOD RIVER, GLACIER, THURSDAY, JUNE 1 , 1905.
MORE BERRIES;
LESS ACREAGE
CRAM TO INCREASE
HIS CAPITAL STOCK
More berries are being sent out
from Hood River thin week, the
beinlith of tlitj terry teason, thun
were shipped at the name period last
year, uotwithstHinlinK a IW per cent
decrease iu the total ecrcage. This
is accounted for by the superior
quality of the berrien thin year. Bo
far the weather conditions have been
perfect for producing lare fruit, and
finer lot of trawtorries never be
fore left Hood Kher, than those sent
out thin season-.
lietween TCOi) und NtHX) crates were
ehipped Monday night, and even more
Tuesday night.
Early iu the reason, Manager Shep
ard of the Fruit Growers' union esti
mated the crop at 75,000 crates. Many
considered this too high an estimate,
but indications are thiH will be slightly
exceeded. Mr. Davidson of the
Davidson Fruit Co. (ays orders for
crate are coining in faster than big
factory can niett the demand. Two
Portland box factories are kept busy
manufacturing crates for the Hood
Hiver berry growers.
Early in the season, when Mr.
Davidson solicited orders for crates,
the growers underestimated their
crop, and failed to make their crate
orders large enough. Now at the
height of the season .the demand for
additional crates is greater than three
factories can meet. The factories ex
pect to catch up with the orders in a
few days.
Pickers have been a scarce article
thiHj'ear, and the want column of the
Portland papers has been liberally pat
ronized bv Ui local shipping associa
tions in an effort to secure pickers for
their customers.
The early patches i.long the Colum
bia and at White Saltuou are uearing
the end of the season, while in the
foothills the hen if s are just getting
plentiful. As work grows scarcer in
the early patches, the pickers move up
the valley to the later plantations.
Pickers are making good wages this
season.
18 Cars of Herries Tuesday Sight.
Thirteen full cars of strawberries
left Hood River Tusday night, the
largest shipment ever made in the his
tory of the berry business in Hood
River. Then were express shipments
in addition to these 111 cars, whioh
brought tl e total numlier of cases for
Tuesday night, something between
8000 and IH'OO.
The days havo been very warm this
wek, with cool evenings. Tuesday
night there was a refreshing shower.
CAROLINA BERRY '
LOSS IS $600,000
Strawberry g; o vers of North Caro
lina declare tley have lost G00,000
this year tweans-e the railroads failed
to furnish stillicient refrigerator cars
to transport the fruit to the markets.
Speaking of Uib situation in that state
the Produce News, under date of May
111, has the following report from
Charlotte:
"The loss of strawberry growers on
the undelivered crop grows larger
daily. Growers h::ve tiled claims
amounting to fi",0,LHKi, and the Ob
server of this city pluces the loss at
000,000. It is said the Atlantic Coast
Line contracted for 1750 refrigerator
cars, nud at time of writing only 50
had been delivered. The Armour car
lines will be held responsible for all
the losses. In faco of the fact that 15
or more northern agent s were on the
ground, eager to pay 'J to 15c a quart,
hundreds upon hundreds of crates were
allowed to perish for lack of shipping
facilities. Growers were gathering
15.1.00 to 20.1,00) crates daily and turn
ing th mi over to the station agent.
The a'tual Iihh amounts to 1180 car
loads, business is demoralized, ship
ping assoaiatious and clubs are on the
verge of colla ee nud growers see ruin
ahead. Ten luo.isaud hands were
brought in to pick the crop, receiving
81 a day. The bank of Chad bourn last
season 'took in 000,000 the first 70
days. This yeaf growers have not re
ceived money eno gu to pay one-half
their indebtedness on the present
crop."
Horry Losses in Missouri.
Delay iu delivering strawberries by
the express ci..: rallies in Kansas City
Is causing i.eavy Josses to growers in
that scr'ier'. es v ill bo seen in the
following New York Packer dispatch
from that city under dato of May lit:
"The loss to berry growers in Ar
kansas, Missouri and Indian Terri
tory, by reason of delay in delivery
by express companies in this city,
will be very largo. The Wells Fargo
Co. is blamed for poor service. Tis
is aiding the private car lines, al
though tbey have been complained ol
also. Fruit lias hern handled very
roughly, too. in haste to get rid of it.
nm Neosho berries sold at ?'J.50
and 1 a case, but t he bulK of choice j
fruit went at M.50 to if 1.75. The first
shipment of Missouri strawberries
left Snrcoxie on the ith, the earliest
date in the history of the industry."

The pinning mill owned 1 v McCoy &

.T. A. Henderson, made a business trip I
to The Dalles, on Friday. . j
MissHnlda Hankin ol uoiueimaie, is
tiie guest of her brother, YV. W. Rankin.
Miss Rankin is teacher in the piihlic
schools, and will remain in the valley
during her vaction.
The bav bailers are now lii evidence.
The harvest has commenced in earnest
on the first crop 1-ast year .1. A.
Henderson secured five cr"P-, and the
first crp were inrerfered by high water.
This will undoubtedly lie one of the
big years in the hay line, owing to the
absence of high water.
As a result of F. A. Cram's recent trip
to Eastern Oregon, be has concluded to
incorporate his popular business with a
large working capital and will carry on
a general business making such change;
in his present system as seem best,
lietween now and" February 1, l'JOti, he
proposes to throw his entire line on the
market, and to realize as much cash as
possible and have his stock at the mini
mum before merging into the new com
pany. The new company will do business
on a much larger scale than Mr. Cram's
capital would permit bini. New depart
ments will be added, and such improve
ments made as the people of Hood
River will greatly appreciate,
Mr. Cram is the first business man to
make a two-page announcement in the
Glacier. His large ad In this week's
ptiper will be read with interest by the
Glucier's 7500 readers. The Glacier

Norman Williams Must Hang.
The Oregon supreme court has de
nied Normnii Williams a rearing bo
fore that body, and unless the gover
nor exorcises his pardoning power the
convicted murderer of tho Nesbitt
women in the upper Hood River val
ley is a doomed man.
When tho news was received by Will
iams it is said tie straightened up for
a moment, folded his arms, as is his
wont, and was silent for a time, but
no visible change was noticed.
When asked if he was not ready to
make a statement, he answered : "Not
yet, I may say something later. 1 do
not want to talk to any one now."
lie spoke in n kindly way, and then in
a few moments walked to his cell.
It now remains for Judge Itradshaw
to re-sentence him, which it is liVely
will be done when the court convenes
in adjourned session. Thirty days
from that time Williams must hang iu
the yard at the county court house.
Iley oild (iie.-tioii, Williams has au
ticipnted for several days what the de
cision of the Supreme court would be,
for he has been arranging to make
disposition of bis real property and
personal effects. Monday he requested
County Clerk liolton to piepare n deed
to three lots be owns in Hellingham,
Wash., leaving the name of the gran
tee blank. This Williams iiifonned
the County Clerk be would fill in and
sig'j liefnre the day of execution, pro
vided the Supreme Court did not in
terfere. So far, Williams is maintaining the
coolness with which he had demeaned
himself ever since his conviction, and
is per fectly resigned to his fate.thoiigh
to those with whom be will converse
he insists that ho is innocent. Lately
he has been conversing with Father
Desmarais, Catholic priest, to whom
no doubt he has made a contession, if
so , he will not likely tell anyono else
of the crime for which he must now
hang. He will probably go the to gal
lows with the story of the murder of
Alma Nesbitt and her mother a secret
known only to him and his confessor.
