The showers of the past week were generally benelioial to all, but some fields of newly mown hay were dumag ed somewhat.

Hiiino fine looking strawberries were d sn sved from tile J.inn county boon at the I. ( wis and Clark fsir on the opening day, of the Exposition, and as an eimterner passed by the exhibit he remarked : "These berries I suppose are from Hood River." J ml K Stewart of Albany was in charge of the Linn county exhibit at the time, and he was telling the joke when in Hood Kiver last Friday. "Why," said lie, "I was mad enough to fight, when the stranger mistook those berries for a Hood Kiver product. Hut the judge saw the humor of It afterward, and Is now more determine than ever that his county shall will that 11(100 prize for the best county exhibit at the exposition. Joe Cannon, after looking over the county exhibits, re marked that the Linn exhibit looked better than anything he had seen at the lair. 1 Judge Stewart was in Hood River In company with Rev. and Mrs. W. P. White of the Unitad Presbyterian church at Albany and Mrs. Gibson, wife of the pastor of tbe Grand avenue church of Portland, who were here as a recep tion committee on behalf of the United Presbyterians of Oregon to welcome a delegation of Eastern people on their way to Albany to attend a national con vention of the woman's general mission ary society of the United Presbyterian church of North America, which con vention convened at Albany ou Monday of this week, Judge Htewart says he was in this sec tion of Oregon once before. That was in 18(15, when he passed here aboard a flat boat on the Columbia. He made the overland trip from Iowa and settled in Linn county, which has been his home since then. Last June, Mr. Stewart was elected county bulge on the democratic ticket in one or the strongest republican counties in the state. Albany and Linn county be Bays are receiving their share of the eastern immigration. He Is acquainted with Sam Harbison, having sold him the farm which he now owns. Mr. Harbison has just completed a very fine dwelling, ami is prospering in tbe Willamette valley. (J rand Army lay at The Fair. Three thousand G. A.

White Salmon, Wash.. June 0. Ed itor Glacier: In last week's issue there was an article headed, "Price Cutting Hurts Growers." By some means the report got abroad that the White Salmon Fruit Union was doing tbe cutting. As secretary of tbe White Salmon union most of the correspondence passes through my hands, and 1 have letters to show that this report is on true. I will forfeit one hundred do lars if I cannot produce tbe original letters from which 1 quote. On May 10 we were getting M.OO per crate f. o. b. Hood River, from Ana conda, Mont. A letter dated the 17th says: "We are quoted Hood Kiver berries at (3.50 f. o. b. Hood Kiver and m 111 allow you tbe same on the Gtb that we received tonight. " There was a delibreate cutting under tb market price. From a letter from Kalispell, Mont., dated May 22, we quote: "We have your letter of May 2(tb and note what you say in regard to berries bringing (.'1.50 ber crate at Hood River. You must bo In error on this, as we have quotations same date from Hood River at Ct.OO and our competitors have been shipping berries here at (.'1.75. We have had to bill all lmrrios at Ct.OO f. o. b. your place. We had quotations Fri day morning from one grocer at Hood River at CI 00." Another writes same date, May 22: "Also in regard to price, the two crates today were billed at (3.25, while Hood River billed some in on the same train at (:t.00. If 1 hold the trade for you, your price must be the same. " Another of same date from Ana conda: "Berries from Hood River quoted (.'1.00 today, are allowing you the same." We also billed the berries to this party at Ci.50 per crate. A letter from Grand Forks, I). C, of May 21, says: "We wrote you on the 18th lust, rel ative to a rebate ou two crates ol strawberries invoiced at (4.50 per crate. We would like to hoar from yoii In regard to this matter before shipping any more berries. We con sider that we are entitled to a rebate of $1.00 per crato. " The cause of this letter was a party from Hood River sending several firms berries on tbe same day for (150. Letter from Halt Luke City under date of May 24 says: "We had all of our borrios sold at $5.00, but had not made deliveries. Martin, Rash & Hunoook went on the market advising the trade that they would have Hood River berries, also some from private parties, and would sell at $4.00, and that we were holding up the trade. Not knowing how many they would receive, we were forced to meet these prioea to hold our trade and keep our prestige." A telegram of May 24 reads: "Mar tin out market from five to four. Mar ket now four-fifty." The White Malmou I'm It Union was organized for the purpose of care fully distributing the berries that the market might be kept up. When tbe Hood River berries began to come ou the market C. P. Ross personally went to the Davidson Co. and to the Hood River Fruit Growers union and made the proposition that they keep the market up by quoting together each day. Mr. Davidson said lie was willing to do this, but the manager of the II. R. F. G. U. said he had to see the board of directors. The White Salmon Fruit Union is a mutual organization. Each mem ber has the interest of the union ut heart, and the union exists for the benefit of each shipper. It Is ther - fore to the advantage of the union to uphold the prices, for each shipper personally receives the benefit. Our board of directors are every shipper. To voluntarily cut prices is to volun tarily reduce their Incomes. It is not natural to do this. Our manager is under the supervision of the hoard of directors. All books, returns, etc., are open at all times, not only to the board of directors, lint to each indi vidual shipper. There is absolutely no room for crooked work. Besides the net returns for eaoh day's ship ment are averaged and divided pro rata with eaoh shipper according to the number of orates he has shipped, so that not one, but all, must lose by cutting of prices. Both from tbe facts of the case and from natural reasons It will tie seen that whoever is doing the cutting it Is not tbe White Salmon Fruit union. Respectfully yours, J. C. Mel linos, Sec.
