Tho following ooininunication from
the senior member of the llrm of line

is in reply to remarks made by Horace
YV. Day, another apple exporter, which
were published ill the (ilitcier a few
weeks ho :
New Y oik, May HI. Kditor (ilacier
Hood River, lire: Wo note in the
Hood River Oliieier under dale of
May IN, an interview with, us staled,
a prominent New York roinmission
tneiclmnt, wherein it is advocated
that tho Hood River farmers could
net more money l r their apples by
selling tin m direct :"'n,'land, inti
mat in t bet. en I I'e l t.f t :a opetators
only buy up tVe Hi:. t'.iver apples to
shij' to Ki n '. e on the itreii.'lh of a
very lare ti.ii.'u'ii' ol' prellt, it would
be more tidvi-al'l" for the grower to
seciihite bin.. .'If, and n no this liii'Kc
prolit made l.y tho Knstirn buyer,
rather than lo nil to the middle man.
The writer ct.m-idi is that if this
New Yoik if ui Int. I the interest of the
Hood River t;; nv el.- tit htmrt instead
of his own, hn v. ould not. advocate
Hiimblir.ir, es In tlhs it, in eoiisittii

town Pippin have indued extiava
(cut prices, on tl'e Rnlish markets
i'' '.'inn the '.'i-t si'ii -rn, yel it was al
together due to the fact that the YVht

just previous to his arrixin at Hood

The writer considers th:d. by reason
of his former connect ions, he, has done
mom to futther the interests of the
Oret;on, and for that, matter, f he en
tile Western commercial apple propo
sition, and has paid les to the grower
about it than anyone ou this market,
having Introduced the Western apples
in the Rust against strong competi
lion, to say nothing of sectional feel
inn. We consider that the growers
and buyers are in this business for
what they can net out of it, mid not
for their health. If ibis merchant
knew for a certainty, and tho induce
ments which he held out, would indi
cate thai, there was a prolit of '.'ic to
i?l per box for tho speculators, he
would bo one of the llr.-l, ones to say
the least iibeut it, and take advantage
of the siluat ion himself, as probably
some of the pioneer growers in Hood
River will know, hy reason of the fact
that their early crops were bought up
indirectly by this same party, at, what
are today considered red icuhat.-ly low
prices. I n nia-kim: t Ids assert ion, re
jrnrdinj! the benefits that tho t;rouets
Imve reaiiid since, hy reason of the
writer's cottiinn in direct competition
to secure their goods at t he really ex
travagant pt ices which were realized
by them the past, two seasons, we de
sire t he credit to be given v. here
credit, is duo. We do not want to lake
too much of the credit upon our
selves, but. are flank to admit, that
the prices w otdd nc er have been nil si d
to the high standard t hat has prevailed
the last two seasons, were it, not for
the fact, that hy reason of our superior
outlet, we were obliged to cover our
reiinirinonts by running up t he prices,
where only two concerns could take
hold.
Now tho object ef this coiiiliiunca
tion is simply this; that on a recent
visit to your town, the writer was iin
pressed very much by the large
acreage set out, which in a few seasons
will come into bearing, and the opto-
mistie idea regarding future value
I un primarily to tho fact t hat one or
two part ies who had visited New Vork,
returned witn stories regarding I lie
fabulous amount of money which the
Hood River fruit was being sold at.
Now, we do not know whether this
was simply newspaper tnll;, or actual
facts, but in either event, v.e t.ru.-t
that the same will not, have any bear
ings on the parties, who may have
I control of the disposition of thegrow-
ers' fancy varieties of apples Hie com
I ing season. The buyer, being obliged
! to pay the price that was paid last
i venr.'aiblinL' frciuht and chatges, the.
i growers must admit that if they were
obliged to pity the wholesale price for i
'any apples, they would hesitate hefoto '
' purchasing. As before meiit ioned,
no one is in business for his health, I
and when part ies enter the Held with'
the good currency of I'niled States;
j in hand, it is well to carefully consid- j
r t hut "a bird in the hand is worth;
two in the bush," and not "kill the
goose that laid the golden eggs," and I
take up with parlies mlvi, ruling a
'speculative proposition, llelel;, to
get their commissions, w ithont risk i
: or expense to themselves, ami find
ill the cud that a serious mistake had '
been made.
As regards the pear proposition,
would state that, we consider it hitter
t-itte mill good form to let others
spiak of results rather than advertise,
one's i. n good work himself, espec
ihdy so, since the same party knows
that better prices had been realized
by others for sc.-cral cars of Doydu
Cornice pears by fully IJ""1 I er car. i
than the price mentioned in the Hood i
River ( Ilacier. belli lots of pears be
ing shipped by one and the same
ps.rly. We-. cut inn this fact, not to
advertise ourselves, but sim ly tfike
it for granted that the priee.i were
mentioned to further a con.-ignmont
proposition against a buying one.
If anyone doults the advisability of
consigning rather than buying, vie
oily have to refer the growers in
Hood River to tho growers in Califor
nia, who have, by reasons over which
; they had no control, been obliged to
jceiisign, with the result that at the
I present day, tliere is .only one of tho
pioneer growers, that we know of,
who consigned, who has anything to
show for his hard labor. Throughout
the entire Northern section of Calif
ornia, one could count on the fingers
ou his hand, and have some to spare,
those who followed the consignment
proposition, who have got enough to
live on. So, dear sirs, do not be led
astray by the elopionoo of the solicit
or of consignments, for you may live
to regret it. Personally, nothing
would ph ase the writer any more than
to give it a trial and sec where thev
get oir at.
The prospect 8 of a good apple crop
throughout the Paoille coast section,
indicate a large and excellent crop.
We have leliuble reports that the
crop in Y'iiginiit of Albernuirles, Wine
snpt and Hen l'avis, promise an
aliundaut crop. We have reports be
fore us today from Western New Y'nrk
that the crop there will also be good.
Vermont also promises a good crop.
We have no reports front Michgan,
Illinois, or Iowa, but sutl'ce it to say
however, that the conditions will
practically lie about the same as last
year, ami if the crop situation does
not change any between now and the
first, of Kepteinl er, it w ill become im
perative that from buyer's standpoint
a conservative stand should betaken.
Foi' t he past throe years there have
heen euormttos losses made by buyers
of Kastern apples, and it is a question
how long these losses can be kept up.
I n a conveivid ion today with one of
the largest handlers of Rastern ap
ples, he voluntered the statement that
lie was prepared to purchase 'J.'0,lW
barrels ef apples at l?l per barrel and
Ht no higher price, if, as probably
will be tho case, a good proportion
of tho operators in Kasteui apples
cannot, secure It n uncial bin king lo go
into the ileal this season, it may be
possible that, the dealers who will be
engaged the coming season can prob
ably jsec ure their rc(tiirtnonts at 1
per barrel f. o. b. primal shipping
point, and if such proves to be the
ease, operations in I'acille coast apples
hy Kastern dealers, will have to be
made on a far more cotiserv at ivo basis,
than that prevailing for the past, two
seasons. Kor the past three years,
Western New York slate has grown
ami harvested what was considered
"bumper crops," the quantity last,
season being not only the largast, but
of exceedingly line ipiiilily f or J'astei u
apples. This proves that the experi
mental stations situated in various
parts of the state have not only dem
onstrated to its students that by
adopting tip-to date iind scientillc
met hods, that the orchards could I e
made to produce the quantity and
quality of fruit such as gave the west
ern part of New York stale a world
wide reputation in years gone by,
but many of the growers who have
followed these modem methods hnve
enjoyed the benetlts which have in
duced largo numbers of t hem to follow
their example. It will only he a short
time before the old fashioner! or
chards w it h its scrubby trees and poor
fruit, will be a thing of the .ist, and
with such conditions staring us in tho
face, one will have to, lis a matter of
self interest, be governed by the
changed conditions, consequently,
your readers will readily see the risk
they would follow in taking t he advice
of one who has not tho conlldenco in
entertaining a purchasing proposi
tion, but would far prefer, from the
statements of your last issue, to per
suade growers to consign, and be
satislled with commissions covering
all shipments made in his care.
In conclusion would stale, that in
replying to I his art icle we have gone
info more detail t linn exported tout
the start, hut feel that. It v.i.h only
due to tho growers and ourselves that
t he other side of the case should be
stated plainly, and allow them to gov
ern themselves accordingly. Yours
very truly, ( I K( )li( iK RAM.
LIGHT CROP AT

Ask .titer Hooil Hiver Apples,
Tho fame of the Hood River apple
increases apace. I.a.-t. week, Malinger
Shepard received a letter from II. A.
Powell, commercial editor for the
Mango .field Co. at Springlleld,

noted a statement to the effect that,
the Hood River Apple ( iruvvers' union
had received a commun ication from a
Hamburg commission house which is
desirous of handling Hood River ap
ples direct t his coming season. Con
tinning, Mr. Powell says:
"Realizing the inreasing importance
ot your district as an apple center,
jrid especially the superior quality and
fi.i.ry prices for your fruit, we would

HARVEST DANCE
WHITE SALMON
FARMERS' PURSES WELL-FILLED

Ry a Stalf Correspondent.
White Salmon, Wash., Junofi. If
the hall in white Salmon had been
twice as large there would havo been
people sutllcient to havo comfortably
Idled it last Saturday eveniug. All
turned out to tho ball given under
tho atispicous of the White Salmon
Camp, No. (UK!, Modern Woodmen of
America. It was u fitting celebration
for the close of the most successful
harvest that the White Salmon ranch
ers have ever realized. Hood cheer
was in evidence on nil sides. The
rancher with his pockets full of gold
coin, or with big certilled chocks
nestling closo to his suspender liucklo
on his lelt side, waltzed and mingled
with his pickers, who too were enjoy
ing some of the prospt i iy, for it was
pay time and all had n i ney.
It would have lentil hard task to
have collected a it ere lepresentative
gathering of the community than was
present at the dance. '1 he very best
of the land, in fact, the salt 'of the
earth. It would have I eon dilllcult,
indeed, to have selected tt prettier or
more attractive constellation of femin
ine beauty than was in evidence tit tho
Imll. The picture of ahs lute healt h
was stamped on all the faces of the la
dies, tunned by the hanot of tho ber
ries, and all in the best of spirits, for
all were to enjoy the l.lcss ings of the
great lierry harvest that had just
closed. To many it meant Hie lifting
of mortgages; to others it meant the
adding of more land, while to all it
meant a trip to the great Low is and
Clark fair.
As early as K o'clock tho room was
packed and w ith the United Artisans
in session in tho lodge room, that at
t he close of the session would iman a
jam. The lodge room was placed at
the disposal of tho reception commit
tee and the luncheon was served there.
It was over the berries whero the good
fellowship flowed. Rich llavored re
pnrtn, was passed along, and Indulged
in by rancher and picker. Pleasing
incidents of the pack were recalled ami
good cheer was tho main feature. No
lines were drawn. It was a common
occasion with equality for nil. It was
a big family gathering and all had a
happy tlmo.
In the dance all jiartielpated in tho
dancing us thotightiiey liked it. There
was no lagging, and every number was
encored. All danced and tho commit
tee and the hospitable folk of White
Sulmim saw to it that the visitors
were well taken care of. When the
hour told some of Sabbath obligtious.
the hands were turned backward, cud
it was well in Sunday morning when
the happy occasion came to a closa.
The arrangement and reception com
mittee, Mr. and Mis. Fred Ito.-en-graut,
M. ,1. Kast and Unbolt How
man; ami the refreshment committee
Mr. and Mrs. S. C. .iegler, Mr. and
Mrs. Otis Kverhart, saw to it that all
had a good time, and there was noth
ing lacking in the preparation. Tho
music by Maine and Bowman was
highly appreciated by all. Prod Ro
sengrant who had charge of tho floor
conducted himself like a veteran, and
everything passed oil' as smooth as a
whistle. At the door and looking af
ter the good order, was constable John
Traua, ami he too assisted in making
the occasion a happy and enjoyable
one. There was nothing to mar the
occasion, all were too happy. Petty
dilfeidnces wero cast aside, neighbor
touched llesh with neighbor in a
neighborly way and proclaimed the
White Salmon country to be tho best
ou earth.
Eleven Acres In Walnuts.
Prod W. Ralsiger, who lives a half
mile northwest of White Salmon, Is
trying a new venture. A year ago he
planted an aero of Knglish wuluuts.aud
alter making it test of the conditions
he is convinced that they w ill do well
in this climate and is planting ten
acres more, It will requite hix years
before the trees will bear; it will take
that, time beforo others will follow.
i Mauv of the ranchers are interested in
tho project and if the nuts turnout
well, much acreage will bo planted.
Ml. Ralsiger stated to me that ho was
satislled the trees would do well here,
as tho climate was about tho san e
as other places whole the crops were
heavv. Many of the ranchers are
skopitotd but that may all be overcome
if the venture proves a money maker.
Remit I fill ileivelt Cottages licail.
Mrs. A. II. Jevvett has completed
the finishing touches and now has her
beautiful summer home tor the enter
tainment of her guests. She has ti e
seven cottages all refurnished and I'.n
islied and in fact everything in readi
ness. Slie can accomodate IK! gii.-ts,

ony this summer will be tho mountain
Irive. I In. new roail lie the moun

During the fair, many from tie Ix. t

She states that the accident happened
while most all were at breakfast, and
