HOOD RIVER' GLACIER, THUKSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1005 PROFIT AND LOSS IN SHIPPING FRUIT I have been much interested in the articles on "Pro tit and Lous in Fruit Hhipmet," writes H. K. Crozier of Steven county, Wash.. In the Spokes man-Review. Organization is the key to success. Due may be able to raise a good crop, bnt his income de- pends on his sales. In many Instances toe buyers take advantage or. the op portunity to buy cheaply because the farmer does business in a haphazard wny. It business men in ceuerai con ducted their affairs as the average far mer does, few would succeed. Through oigauization with a head to look after the needs of the consum er, who is supplied through the mid dlemen, there would be better and more stable prices. There is uo sncb thine as overpro duction of fruits or the agricultural products. The thing lacking is method of plao lng tnera on the market. One must know bow, when and where to unload his crop. One farm er can not generally afford to give up his time to these details. Therefore it is essential that many be banded together for their common good, and as it were, have a leader, whose duty it is to tliKi toe best market by keep ing watch of the supply and demand and be prepared to drop a oar here and another there, thus keeping the middlemen always on tbe anxious seat looking for supplies for their many customers. If they llud mut-ters tbe art of selling to deal with, tbey will always lie ready to do business ou terms fixed, not by themselves, but by the producer. It is tbe farmer's fault that others fix tne price of bis fruits. The de mand is always great. Time, quality and good packing are tbe essence success in tbe sale of fruit. It a dis trict s noted for good fruit in large quantities, buyers will always be after it. It then becomes essential to have an organization to deal with those buyers and see that all get fair re turns for their labor. liy organization many small pro duoors become a unit for not only tbeir own good, but that of the con sum oi, as they get better quality sent to market In season in oar lot, insur ing cheaper rates of transportation. By thorough organization those not familiar will soon learn how to put up what they bate to sell so that it will handle to tbe best advautage and look twtt. Tbe crops of 100 can be sold easier than a single individual crop may be sola. JNo farmer In tbe nortnweH can afford to go to Eastern markets with a small shipment of bis fruits. us he must take any price offered, to save waste. Several growers banded together can, if desired, send a reli able man to find tbe belts market and thiiH obtain tbe best prices. It takes but little produce to ruin the market at times, even in the large cities like JNew rork and (Jbioago, Hence the necessity of knowing when and what to ship and when and what not to ship to any particular point. Every producer's motto should be "Organization, best quality, skillful packing." lue results make quick sales, good proncs and bappy homes, Thanksgiving Proclamation. - Unvdrnor Chamberlain basdesignat ed Thursday, Novomber 30, as tbe date for Thanksgiving and calls at tention to tbe iact that nerer in the histiry of the cmiutry have the people bud bad so much cause for giving thanks tban at tbe present time.

Conger, ex-minister to China and Mexico and for three terms con gressman. Mr.Conger and wife war the guests of E. L. Smith at his pleasant bom overlooking the Columbia river. The ex-minister and Mr. Smith were class mates in college at Galesburg. lib. but have not seen each other for a number of years. The Congers arrived her Monday from Seattle where tbey bava been visiting tbeir son who la an any officer, and in the afternoon were tak en for a drive by their host through the famona Hood River valley. On their return the Glacier man had a short talk with Mr. Conger who said that he bad made a visit to Hood Riv er 16 years ago and that if he remem bered correctly there were only two buildings in tbe town at that time. He was, be said very muoh astonished at the rapid growth of tbe city and was much impressed with the fine or chards in the valley. Tbe fine fruit raised here Molted his admiration, and he nwka also of tbe natural re sources in the way of water power and the timber lands for wbioh this city is the only outlet. Tbe ex-minister predicts a prosperous future for this locality and western Oregon In general Mr. and Mrs. Conger left Tuesday for Portland where tbey expected to meet their daughter and then go on to San Francisco for a brief stay It is theii intention to winter in Calif- crnia and, as Mr.Conger put it, "rest up and get acquainted with the conn try irom whion tbey nave been so long absent. " ELECTRIC ROAD FOR TROUT LAKE A movement is on foot to build an electrio railroad from Underwood to Trout Lake and the promoters of this enterprise say that if tbey are given sufficient encouragement by the resi dents in that section the road will be put through as soon as possible. Tbe route as now surveyed will be gin at Underwood landing and run op tbe White Salmon river as far as practicable to the bridge Intersecting the lands of H. Lauigas, Frank Moore, and Fred Stoler. From this point It will follow the oounty road to a point between tbe lands ot C. W. Moore and Andew Johnson ; then across to tbe north bank of the river to the bridge at Boze's; tbeu following the oounty road it will cross tbe Wagnitz ranch to tbe Guler hotel, when it will again take the county road via the Corners and tbe cheese faotory road, back to tbe bridge at Boz's thus forming a loop. It is said that a steam road Is also being surveyed from the Little White Salmon through Trout creek pass to the Columbia. if tbe road is built two large saw mills will be erected at tbe end of the line and large forces of men will be employed, which with tbeir families will constitute quite a village. Several thousand dollars of local capital has been pledged for this enterprise al ready and it is said tbat outside cap tilists will supply the rest. One of tbe fsdures of the enter prise wi 1 be to supply bouses and barns along tbe route with electric light Great Northern Looking np Business. Le Roy Tucker, traveling passenger agent of tbe litest Northern railway, was a visitor at toe wjacier omce, riiday. Mr. Tucker is looking over this territory i tbe interests of tbe new road up the Columbia and says tbat wben the road is completed lt will otter inducements to both pass engers and shippers to patronize its line. Tbe main offices for this branch of the road will be located at Port land. It is tbe intention of tbe Greet Northern to put on a fast transcon tinental train to be called the Orient al Limited. Tbe coaches will be dec orated with oriental designs and it was the intention to put Japanese porters on the tiain to harmonize with the surroundings. But it is said tbat Mr. Hill objected to this inno vation and tbe Jap porters had to be cut out. THE FALL OF MAN.- Advertised Letter List. For week ending Novebmer 13, 1905: Mis.

Amon- the Masai, a native tribe In German East Africa,- Is found the fol lowing story of tbe creation, which, ac- sordlng to Dr. Emit Retch, tbey could not have got from missionaries. Dr. Belch thinks that the Christian, Masai and Babylonian accounts bad a com mon origin la Arabia: "In tbe begin ning tbe earth was a waste and bar ren wiMerasee In which there dwelt a dragon alone. Then God came down from heaven, fought with tbe dragon and vanquished It From the dragon'i blood, which was water, the barren rock wUderneaa waa made fertile, and the spot where the struggle between God and tbe dragon took place became paradise. Thereafter God created all things sun, moon, stars, plants and beasts and finally two human beings. Tbe man was sent down from heaven and was called Maltumbe, and the wo man, Naltergorob, sprang from tbe bosom of the earth. "God led tbem Into paradise, where they lived an untroubled existence. Of all the fruits therein they might eat by God's permission; of one tree alone they might not taste. Often God came down to see tbem, when he climbed down a ladder from heaven. But one day he was unable for a long time to And them, but finally discovered them crouching among tbe bushes. On being asked tne meaning of his conduct Mal tumbe replied that they were ashamed because they bed eaten of the forbid den fruit 'Naltergorob gave me of the fruit,' he said, 'and persuaded me to eat It after she had eaten of It herself.1 "Naltergorob sought to excuse herself by saying, The three headed serpent came to me and said that by tasting the fruit we should become like unto thee and almighty.' Then was 'Ngal (God) wroth and banished the two first human beings from paradise. He sent Bllegen, tbe morning star, to drive man out of paradise and to keep watch thereover," " A QUEER POSTOFFICE. Hew Mail Wm DallTerest 1st the OU "Speaking of bad towns," said one of tbe Kansas City (Kan.) officials who had crossed tbe plains in tbe early days of tne west, "reminds me of old Lead- Tina, Coloi, wben everybody had the gold fever bad and law and justice hinged on the mighty Colt. The town waa full of holdup men, and It was hardly safe for one to go on tbe streets after dark; but, as many crooks, murderers and 'bad men' as there wen In the town, there was brtrd- ly ever a ease of petty thievery, Every store was wiae open ana unguarded. and tne merchandise was perfectly sere too. "A large poetoffice business was done m Leadvllle at tbat time, The post master was an old German. The great Dumber Of incoming gold seekers in creased tbe amount of mail until the postmaster became unable to handle lt He then dumped tbe mall in the middle of tbe floor, rnd everybody came In and went through It taking one's own let ters and patters. The stack of mall was sometimes four and five feet high, and fifteen or tweuty men were always gathered around It Perfect order pre vailed, and no one took any mall ex cept bis own. "A government detective happened around one day and told tbe postmaster tnat ns would bave to discontinue this free for all method of handling the man. ine old man got mad, and. sum moning tbe patrons of the office, they tarred and feathered tbe detective and rode htm out of town on a rail. It was a long time before tbe office was run according to the rules of tbe depart ment, but there waa never a complaint against tbe old German postmaster." Kansas city Star. Richardson Bros.
