In Another column will be found a very pertinent article on the produc tion and side of wormy fruit. That there are two sidos to this mutter, as in everything eke, moat be apparent to every fair minded person. We do not, however, think it la the intention of couwjifintioob growers to woik hard ship! to any one in their contention for a rigid censorship of dofoctive fruit. Their intention is, we think, for a remedy rather than a kill-all. How strongly a lot or houxe, that can be sewered, appeals to prospective buver of property in this city was demonntrated here this week. A gentleman who came here to look at some property with the object in view of building, was taken to a portion of the city to look at some lots that were In every way apparently desirable. Suddenly he turned to the gentleman who whs acting as bis guide and said, "Will the new sewer reach these lots?" "No,", said bis companion, "it won't come this far." "lu that rase," said tbe prospective buyer, "I wouldn't have n lot here at any price. Take me to a part of ttio city which will be sewered." No stronger object lesson can be wanted than this of the benefits of a sewor system. The appointment of John Al. Uearln as United States Senator by Gov. Chamberlain was not unexpected. Mr. (learln Is a Democrat and had strong backing for the position. In fact, he had the backing that U. S. Seuatois from this state have had for many years the law firm of Dolph, Simon, Mullory & Gcarln, History repeats itself, it is snid, and this Is the proof of it. Senator Gcariu has made a etatemout for publication, part of which is as follows : "It shall be my best endeavor to represent the whole state of Oregon, without respect to any section or dis trict. I am a native of Oregon, am proud of her commercial and indus trial achievements, and my every effort will bo to assist in their further development. " If ho does this be will have done well, indued. IlrilKuni Hut ii re for lined River, Tom liiohardson, secretary and manager of ttio Commercial olnb. of Portland, and Frederick Hootford, a traveling representative for "Out ing," arrived in town on train 2 Mon day, They were met at the station by E. I j. Sinitli, whoso guests they wore while bore. It was the intention of ttio visiting gentlemen to have driven over the valley for a poop at tho apple or chards, but the fact that tboir time was limited and tho inclemency of the weather causod them to postpone this trip until some, othtir time. Mr. Kiohardson and Mr. Hootford were taken about town by Mr. Smith and introduced to the members of the local Commercial Club, and nn im promptu meeting of the club called for '2 o'clock. Although tho notice was short, there were quite a good many mom tiers present at thatUmo, and 11. J. David son waw selected us ohiiinimn of tho meeting. Mr. Davidson, in a few well chosen word, welcomed the vis itors to the club, aud Mr. Smith stat ed that the meeting was called to hear a word of cheer from Mr. Hcotford and Mr. Richardson. Chairman Dav idson then called on the gontlemen to respoud and they both compiled with Ills request. Mr. Kcotford spoke first and said that "Outing" iu.the February limn ber would publish au article (lescrln tive of Hood River and the valley and after giving his impressions of the dilierenae between the West and Fast. he read excerpts from the advance proof shoots of tho article, it paid a glowing tribute to tho valley and the apple raising industry as conducted linre, and to tho residents of this sec tiou also. It told about the tine mini Ity of the apples, the care with which they were packeil, the Jul'Ii price oh taiued for them aud the causes that led up to the high standard obtaiuod by tliem. Mr, Hcotford concluded with golden praise for the scenic attractions oi the Columbia and Hood Klver country and said that If its beauty could t brought to tho attention of the weal thy tourists and Hportsmeu of the hast a mo-it prosperous future was in store for It. and Unit with nroiinr fa cilities for reaching Mount Hood it would become one of the must popular nouns or interest in the world. JUr, Sootford's remarks were appreciated aud he was given tho glad hand when lie nuiHtioii. Mr. Klohardxon wn called upon and sai 1 so munv uood things about Hood Klver that if the gentlemen present nnd not had their liats olf tbeie would have beeu au explosion. Among other things, however, he said he had never seen such a successful demonstration of what unity of purpose could no- compllHh as has been done iu the apple business in Jlood Klver. lie told abou' lelng In Los Angeles where or anges were selling for three dozen for a quarter, with Hood River apples right alongside of thorn at three tor a quarter. He paid tribute to tho hustling qualities of Hood Rivoritcs aud told a story about seeing a man from this city sUuding on a corner in Portland list summer during the busiest time of the fair when the streets were crowded and reminded him he said of (tie famous thorough fares of New Yoik, Chicago, London or Paris. Tho Hood Kivcr limn wore a bored expression, and when Mr. Klchardhon approached him and asked what whs the matter, ho replied: "Nothing the matter, hut this is aw ful dull for a Hood Kivcr man." The eloquent visitor wound up his talk by Buying that tho many scenic beauties of the couutry here would in the next generation attract many res idents and enormous capital, if they could be brought to the attention of tho wealthy leisure class. He then urged all who could do so to be pres ent at the convention of the Oregon Development League on January 12 and i'.i, aud said he hoped to see at least two delegates from this city on the pioposed excursion of the leaguo to Los Angoles nod Lower California. Train time was at hand ami the two vlsitora had to hurry away to make tboir train, much to tho regret of the listeners. They returned to Portland on trnlu 1. ' NO QUORUM AT DITCH MEETING A meetinir of the Earner.' Irrigat Im comoanv which was called for Moudav niorninif developed Into an informal discussion on the affairs of the company. The meetincr wag called for the PUT pose of amending Article 7, to read September Instead of October, and Article 12 to read Au'fiist instead of July, and also to boar the report of a snecial committee ao'Oiuted to inves tigate the books and take action on the annual report. President Blowers presided, and be fore the roll was called there was some discussion about the finances of the organization and the way they had been administered. Several motion were put, but Pres Ident lilowere said that he could not entertain tbem, as it bad not yet been ascertained whether there was a quor um nresent. . The secretary was then directed to call the roll, whiob resulted in the fact that there was not a quorum present, and the president announced that no business of a formal utture could be transiicted. A. C. Staten. inanaser of the com pauy stepped forward and said that L- 1.1 1.1 . .... - tun-Aa lie WMHIM line bu any m mw - fore the meeting dispersed. He said that he wanted to oall the attention of the stockholders of th- Farmers' irriagting company to the fact that the flume in present nse was Id bad condition, and that something ought to be done about It. tie urged upon the stockholders the necessity of hav ing it replaced ai soon as possible, and said that when it was rebuilt the best plan would be to put two-thirds of it in a ditob and leave the other third as it now was. The cost of maintaining it would then lie reduced to a minimum. He also suggested that some plan be devised wheieby the stockholder of the company onold liquidate the obligations outstanding against it, and secure absolute control of its property. Ue stated that the ditob was a most valuable asset to eveiv rancher living along it, or that could be reached by Its benefits, aud placed Its valuation at no less than lOO.OUO. Mr. Staten concluded by saying that the stockholders were now having tbelr baldest struggle, but tnst when it was over they would be in a position where they oould reap the beuellts accruing from this valuable irrigating plant. Lee Morse followed Mr. beaten aud spoke much in the same vein, eayiug that the company had tried to secure the bonds outstanding against it, but that the parties holding them had re fused to relinquish them until the time of their maturity. They bad also tried to borrow an additional sum from the same parties, but as yet he couldn't say whether they would he successful or not. The amount or the Indebtedness was $22,000, and tbey would like to get between $18,000 and $20,000 more to make the repairs ueo essary to the ditch. An agreement was then made to ad journ until afternoon, and iu the meantime see if enough of the stock holders could not be summoned by telephone to make up a quorum. this, however, was not accomplished. as many of those who were In attend ance at the morning session drove home for dinner and did not return. The board of directors held a meet ing in the afteinoon and passed a res olution to place the arconnts the com pany held against debtors in the bands of Attorney Henderson for col lection. They also decided that where it was neoessary to make any repairs to the flume Unit it would be a more econom ical and wiser plan to dig a ditob, wherever practicable, aud not spend any more money in patching up that struoture. WEST CRAPPER The school district has voted a mills tax for school and building pur poses, and authorized the directors to build au additional room as large as tho present school house. How we growl I see some one in speaking of the bust Hide, has to rcier to it as the ap pin belt, So Mosier wants to be called East Hood Klver. Wonder what belt they want to join the apple belt or the West Crapper fruit belt, where tbey raise not only the best apples, but the best strawberries and pears. Peaches never tail. Jim Moore has returned fiom Kan sas City, where he went to have bis eyes treated. R. 11.

If those contemplating buying cream separators will visit West Crapper they may be able to save tio or f.tu on the same. We are thinking of golug down and fixing the road to the freluht depot. after we have fixed our apples by haul ing them over tho same.
