HOOD RIVER
CHERRIES WIN
G. D. W00DW0RTH TAKES PRIZES
diets First Prize on Bint,' a aud Black
Republicans, Second on
luinbiTts.
I Hood River's fame iu fruit raising
is not to be oounned to apples aud
strawberries. Last week 0. 1). Wood
worth had an exhibit attheclieny
show at Salem, aud carried otf three
first prizes on the first award ot tbe
judges. These were on Lamberts,
Rings and Black Republicans.. A pro
test front Mrs. Webb, of Portland,
oaused a reconsideration nf the award,
aud a new set of judges were appoint
ed. They doicded that au error had
been made in tbe award of the Lam
bert prize, giving that prize to Mrs.
Webb, and tbe secoud to Mr. Wood
worth. Mrs. Webb makes a specialty
ol tbe Lambert.
The exhibit of cherries at Salem
was probably the bent.that were ever
made in tbe world. That Hood River
oould go in and capture nearly every
thing In sight, upholds bet leputation
as tbe banner fruit country, and to O.
1). Woodwortb la due tbe credit ol
raising the finest cherries ou earth,
and helping keep Hood River iu tbe
lead.
Ueo. R. Cnstuer also had au exhibit
of cherries fixed np, but was obliged
to put them iu cold storage here, and
on tuking them out in tbe hot weath
er, to ship to Stileui, found that they
would uot bold up, aud did uct take
them.
The premiums were awarded by a
boatd of judges composed of Colotiel
it. W. Dosch. J. 11. Kettemlre and It.
M. Williamson. The names of exhib
itors were unknown to the judgus be
tote tbe verdict was given.
lliat tbe great eltort of Oregon hor
ticultural interest should be to devel
op new and better fruits of all kinds,
particularly suitod to successful pro
ductiou under conditions of soil aud
olimate that here exist, was tbe key
note of the discussions. It was agreed
that Oregon must not be satistied
with the best that Is grown, but must
strive to improve upon preseut excel
lence.
J. R. Sheuard, of Zena, Polk ooun
ty, urged tlittt tbe State Agricultural
college conduct extensive and syste
matic work iu tli.) eltort to develop
better varieties ot fruit. Ibis sugges
tion was heartily approved by several
speakers. L. M. (iilbert, of Rosctliile,
expressed the belief that through the
Instrumentality of tbe tioi'tlcuitimii
society a fund may be established iu
this state tor the Mil ol nr lout i lie
wotk in the direction mentioned by
Mr. Shepard.
Snenkiug partloulatly ol the otiorty,
M. MoDonald, of tbe Oregon Whole
sale Nursery company, said that what
is needed is a cherry unit is a little
later than the Royal Anno, so as to
miss tbe rains in ripenltig time, aud
a little firmer, so as to stand shipment
better.
Professor Lewis, who reoently oauie
from New York to take the chair of
boitloulture at tbe State Agricultural
oollege, introduced au address on
riant Adaption' uy quoting an
Eastern authority as saying that Ore
gon stands at the head in the pack
ing, handling anu transportation oi
fruit; yet there is need lor improve
ment, for there Is iu per cent loss ou
fruit shipped to New York.
He cited a large number of in-
stauoes to show that a variety is best
adapted to tbe conditions iu which it
Is oriifiuated. tnotign tuure is one ex-
oeptiou.in the oase of Spitzonbergs and
INewtowu flppin applet, iu wuiou ure
gon leads tbe world, though tbey orig
inated in tbe INortb Atlantio suites.
He strongly indorsed the suggestion
that Oregon should bend its varieties
of fruit, for those originated here will
be found most siiccesslul.
(1. L. Woodwortb. of Hood River,
who took three first prizes, said he
Lad shinned Lambert cheiries to near
ly every state iu the Union aud to
Alaska and Liondon. ins loss tuiougn
deterioration on a 14-day shipment to
London was very small. He declared
that Oregon should ship several car
loads of cherries a day in order to
make the greatest success of shipping.
fruit Inspector ti. U. Armstrong, of
Marion county, read an Mnstrucitve
paper on the work of his oil lee.
Wherries uivuiod time witn wainuts
at tbe sessions of the society. After
an address of welcome by Frank
Davev aud a response by 1'iesideut
Cardwell, tbe subject of walnut grow
ing was handled by uolonel 11. iv
Doscb, who said that walnuts should
be planted only iu a loose soil which
tbe roots will penetrate and that the
treea planted iu this state should be
ot a late blooming variety, such as
tbe Franquette, so as to miss the late
trosta.
In behalf of walnut growing, as an
Industry, II. M. Williamson, of Port
land, said that the average value of
farm products In Marion county is
but tl'i an acre and iu Linn county
only i'X Oregon should proceed at
once to raise this average crop value
to not lets than t0 an acre aud thU
oan largely be done by growing wal
nuts, for which tbeie is a home mar
ket foi 90,UUO,uOO pounds a year with
no danger of over production. With
tbe increased value ot crop produc
tion will come smaller farms and more
pei pie.
ihe Horticultural society today ac
cepted an otfer of 1,000 Lambert cher
ry trees from tbe Uregon .Nursery
company, the ptoceda of aales to he
used to Help defray expenses of the
sooiety. This is in the nature ot a
conscience fund. Ten years aifo the
originator of the Lambert cherry gave
his rlgbts in tbe var ety to the socie
ty. The society sold it to the nursery
company for $100. Since then its real
value has become known and the nur
sery company has proposed to pay
more tnan tbe sum originally agreed.
Tbe cherry exhibit was displayed on
tbe stage of tbe Cordray Opera iluue,
where tbe sessions were held. Tbe
opera bouse was beautifully decorated
by a oommitte of Salem l?.dios, who
further added to the pleasure of tbe
occasion by serving refreshments to
tbe orowd iu atteuduuee.
Following is list of the awards
made on cherries :

of the cherry fair. He said he was
from Hood River, but he would not
say a word about that section, as it
had already been refered to to a great
extent. He would talk about "better

Fruit Damaged on Snake River.
"Two hundred thousand dollars
would, I believe, be a oouseivative es
timate of the amount of damage done
the fruit along the Columbia aud
Snake rivers as fat up as Aostin, and
iu the Clearwater valley by the Marob
frosts, aud on aooouut of this you
may expect to see fruit, aud partieu
larly peaches, advance '25 per cent in
prices, " said William L. LaFollette,
the extensive friut raiser ot Wawaiaw,
to tbe Lewistou Tribune.
Mr. LaFollette arrived In the city
yesterday from Orollno, where he con
cluded the purchase through the
chancery court of New Jersey, of a
100 horse power boiler formerly owned
by the Gold Creek Mining ompany,
which has been in the handa of a re
ceiver for the past four years. Mr.
Lal'ollotte states that tbe boiler will
be used to furnish power to a pulso
meter pump which will irrigate tbe
250 acres he has iu fruit trses.
By this piece of niaohinery 1,500
gallons of water oan be lifted 75 feet
from the river every minute. It will
then be placed iu a distributing reser
voir and 00,00 feet ot five aud eight
Inch nines will convey it by gravita
tion to the orchards. Mr. LaFollette
esi mates that from all sources, includ
ing springs, a small pump at present
operating, and Wawawai creek, 2,000
to 2,500 gulloua per minute will be se
cured. This will furnish plenty of
water during the hot summer months.
The Lai1 ollete farm contains 1,200
acrue. Liast year f.uoo fruit trees were
planted, aud more will be planted
this year. Mr. LaFollette stated that
it was quite likely that wbeu tbe iu
paria railroad was completed their or
chard would be inaieased )to 500 acres.
This orchard grows more Reaches than
all the rest ot the Snake river or
chards ooinbtned, statue' Mr. LaFol
lette. "We will be able to put out only
hiilf ciop, or 50 carloads of fruit this
year," continued Mr. LaFollette.
"Our average output is 100,000 boxes
of fruit and we operate our own saw
mill aud box factory to supply our
needs. In tbe season we float down
tbe river an average of 250,000 feet of
logs. We do no commercial business
whatever with our saw mill, but have
assisted smaller growers wbeu their
supply of boxes was short.
"As to tbe fruit production on our
ranch, 1 oan onlv give approximate
figures relative to tbe yield in the
different kinds. Where last year our
cherry trees produced 100,000 boxes,
this year they will be less tliau 500.
We will maiket about 15,000 boxes
of peaches, which are from one-third
to oue-fourth of a orop. There will
be about 20,000 boxes of prunes and
plums, a good average orop with tbe
exception of one or two varieties.
Summer apples will yield a fair crop,
losHiuiy uou ooxbs. xiiere win ue a
tair crop of poaia which should go
about .45,000 boxes. Tbetfgrapei crop
will lie a good one and should yield
anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 boxes.
"1 look to see nearly all of the
peaches marketed in the I Lewiston
country, but tbey will be high.
Where usually choice canning peacber
have been ti lling tor 50 cents, this
summer they will command 75 cents.
Of course the Inferior grades will be
cheaper and the extra choice higher.
Practically all of tbe snake river
prunes will be sold to eastern bouses
aud 00 per cent of tbe pear crop will
go east. Yes, fruit will be high, but
nothing lu proportion to the damage
fruitgrowers have suffered. "

VICTORY FOR
THE HILL ROAD
PORTLAND & SEATTLE ROAD WINS
Decig'onln Morth Bank Rig-H of Way
Cases (liven By Judge
MeCrfclle.
'Hill won ovei llarriman when Judge
W. W. McCredie, of the superior
court of Washington, decided that the
Portland and Seattle railway bad tbe
right to condemn across tbe property
ot the Columbia Valley railroad along
the north bank of tbe Columbia river.
Tbe decision la a sweeping one, and
carries with it the settlement ot an
important question In tbe struggle
between the two roads. Both have
fought for the narrow strip along tbe
river's edge whereon a railway can be
built. Both have been at work build
ing grades preparatory to laying rails.
Both claimed certain points of con
Hict, the Columbia Valley by deed
from the former owners, and the Port
land i. Seattle by virtue of condemna
tion suits across the property of the
rival corporation. By a decision al
lowing this right, if sustained by the
higher courts of Washington, appar
ently no barrier can be raised in the
path of Hill that will prevent biro,
from following bis surveys down the
Washington shore of the river.
The decision aunouncea that In case
the Columbia Valley desires to build
a railroad down the uortb bank, the
oourt will extend tbe road full pro
tection by allowing it to build a road
bed aud track over the right of way
parallel with the Portland 4 Seattle
track as surveyed, without compel
ling the Harrimau road to reeoudeuiu,
providiug the Columbia Valley deter
mines to build and does build within
a reasonable time. It tbe opposing
road to the Hill line fails to build,
theu tbe Portland & Seattle ia to bave
the full light of way for its own pur
poses. Judge MoCredie bases bis decision
ou the alleged laok ot good faith of
the Columbia Valley, which ia the de
fendant in the suit. He aeta forth
that tbe llairimau road does not fur
nish a single witness to swear to its
intention to build tbe road, while the
powers belli ud the Columbia Valley
are silent. It leaves it fur the oourt
from the evldenoe submitted to Infer
Its good faith to build the proposed
railroad. Its only witness, Secretary
Rands, swore ou that point that be
did not know whether the Columbia
Valley intended to build. Ills knowl
edge was confined to a resolution
passed by tbe board ot directors in
April of this year, which directed
construction ot the road.
Judge McCtedie gooa ou iu bis de
cision to say: "It appears that the
Portland A Seattle has constructed .
large portions of its road across the
public domain and along much of the
route selected by the Columbia Valley
under the act of 1875. It also appears
that no estimates of the oost ot con
struction of the Columbia Valley bave
ever been submitted to tbe trustees
and contraota have beeu let for tbe
proposed construction.
"From these facts and evidence on
many minor points the oourt ia un
able to find that tbe Columbia Valley
iuteuda to use aud will use the land
sought to be appropriated for rail
road purposes aud is unable to find
that said road now or ever will con
struct the proposed road.
"It appears tbat tbe contemplated
use for.wblcb the laud is sought to
be appropriated by tbe plaintiff la a
publio use aud the publio interest re
quires tbe proseoutiuu of such enter
prise aud the land is required and
ueoessary for tbe purpose proposed
by the petitioners."
In bis opinion, Judge McCredie
goes Into tbe history of tbe making
of the original survey which bas been
aoquired by tbe llarriman Interests
and upon which the Columbia Valley
road has beeu laid out. The oourt
holds tbat snob a lluof aa surveyed by
Oeorge W. Hunt in 1890 waa such a
one as is mapped out by a line wbloh
makes oost of construction a primary
rather than a secondary considera
tion, whereas today the railroad plac
es oost in the background. Judge
MoCredie says that from the evideuoe
produced, the liue of the Columbia
Valley is crooked and full of curves,
many of which are of a blgb degree
of ourvative. it would be impractic
able, if not impossible, for a modern
road to oon struct this line of rail
way. The O. R. Si N., which the oourt
states is the guiding band of tbe Col
umbia Valley, has spend hundred ot
thousands of dollars iu eliminating
from its line on the south bank of
tbe river curvea of the same charac
ter as appears in the location of the
Columbia Valley. The court holds
tbat while tbe llariiman line holds
the title to a small portion of the
right of way from Kenuewick to Van
couver, and bas expended therefor
about $16,000, tbe Portland & Seattle
bas aoquired practically all of ita
rights of way and has paid for tbe
same over $500,000. Up to the first
of May the oourt found that',the Hill
line has expended over $2,000,000 tor
construction along its entire line,
while the Harrimau road ia said to be
working a small crew only in those
counties where the work will conflict
with the Portland & Seattle.
Uuless the Portland & Seattle work
la annihilated, declared Judge MoCre
die, tbe Colmbia Valley will never be
able to connect up tbe grading it is
now doing so as to be able to make a
contluous grade of Its proposed sur
veys. This work, tbo (curt points
out, was begun after tbe commence
ment of the suits for condemnation
by the Hill road.
Aa the defense of the Columbia Val
ley was that tbe land wbioh tbe op
posing road aought to condemn bad
already been appropriated for railroad
purposes aud therefore could not be
taken away by another railway, the
decision of Judge McCredie that tbe
defendant was not In good faith and
was merely attemping fragmentary
oonetruotion at strategio point to
hold those stretches to wbioh title waa
held away with tbe plea of the Harri
mau attorneys aa far aa tbe superior
court ia concerned. Tbe decision will
be appealed from almost immediately,
however, by tbe Columbia Valley attorneys.
