HOOD RIVER QLACIEE THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1907
REDUCES RATES
ON UPPER RIVER
The new freigbt tar ill g which went
into effect on January 1, on the O,
K. 4 J. reduces rates elo.g the u)
per river very considerably.
From Portland to Waititburg, lu
cludine.Pendleton and th Walla Wal
la branch of the system, a distance
of over 31)0 miles, sweeping reductions
are made in freight rates for points
bavins river competition.
'i'he effect of the portage road is
thus made manifest in a oioet empbat
io manner. The reductions are due
wholly to the operation of stenmers
on the upper (joiumiiia ana suake
rivers, at points not having river
competition are not effected in this
new schedule,
.between Portland and Celilo the re
duotiou while considerable, are not
so pronounced as to points above,
since the rates bad already been re
duced by steamer competition to lbe
Dalles. 'I'he ditfeiouce in the rates
between Portland and Celilo will be
00 cents per ton on iirst class height,
10 on second class, CO cents on third
class. IL40 on class A, 40 cents on
class ii, 00 cents cu class K, or car
lots and per car on horses.
io points above the 100 mile run to
CelUo toe reductions are conosponu
iouly ereater. At Arlington the re
duction ot the rate ot third ulass
freight is A 20 per ton. At Waliula
the out is deep and strong aud will
afford intense satisfaction to the poo
pi ot that eastern Washington sec
tion. Second class freight can be
shinned between WaJlula and Port
laud (2.80 per ton cheaper, first clues
freight gone fi ou less. A carload oi
horses can be shipped between these
points for til less than betoie the
railroad company decided to meet
conditions imposed by the portHge
road and the watei competition that
followed its operation.
Pendleton gets reduction of 11.40
per toa for nist class, (JO cents for
third class and fourth class, $1.20 for
fifth cIksb, 20 cents for class K or cat
load lots, and (10 less per car tor
horses.
Arlington, 111 milos from Portland,
can now ship freight that distance at
a reduction of $2 per ten for second
class freight, $3.20 (or third class,
$1.80 for the. next lower four classes
and horses at $1.80 per car lower. At
Irrigon the reductions run 40 cents
for first class, $3.20 second class, $2.40
third class, 40 cunts for class E or
oarlots, and $10 per car on borsos.
Great as are the reductions made
by the new rate schedule oft he O. It.
& N. company, the prevailing river
rates are still vastly lower aud will
continue to be a etroug leverage for
further rail rate reductions by the
transcontinental lines,
A comparison ot the new rates an
nounced by the O. K. & M., with, the
eixBtiog rates by the river route,
shows that first class freight can atill
be oarried from Portland to Celilo for
80 cents per ton less than by rail.
lot first class freigtit late by the
rivet is $1.90 lower to Kufus, $3.40 to
lilulock, $5 to Arlington, $i to Ilepp.
ner Junction, $5 to Custle Kook, $j.U0
Io Coyote, $0.60 to Irrigon, $7 to
Umatilla, $7.40 to Waliula, $7.40 to
Hoover, $8 to KounowicK, $8 to 1U
paria and $8 to Lewiston.
These figures show that the rail
road company still has a long way to
reduce its freight rates before it will
be ablo to compote with the river in
actual cost of freight carrying.
It will be observed that the reduc
tions made by the O. It. St N. compa
ny only apply to points aUected by
competition with the steamers of the
Upen Kivei Transportation company,
made possible by the use of the port
age railway, lbe changes made be
yond river points show bow far reach
ing the benefits resulting from water
coinpetiton extend.
liut few changes have boon made as
yet by rail lii.es ou grain, but the
rate will undoubtedly be reduoed, as
the river rate i much lower, aud will
sooner or later have to be met. East

Prof, t'ordley Saved It.
The facts of how Prof. Cordley
saved a valuable orchard at Grants
Pass were toid some time ago in the
Times, lbe iuoidunt happened in the
Eismau oichard of 35 acres. A di
sease bad lei.ed the trees six yeais
ago aud the owner had determined to
dig the in up aud abuudou the or
chard, lbe attention of Prof. Cord
ley was finally called to the mutter
with the result that remedies were ap
plied aud the tiees saved. 1'his year
the net pollt from the orchard in ap
ples was $8,000. The gross sale of ap
ples was $14,000. The incident is re
ferred to in the followlug from the
Oregon Agriculturist, published at
Portand :
At a recent mooting of fruit grow
ers at Orauts Pass, Oregou, Mr.
Christopher Eismau told that he and
his brothel, Fred 1). Ii ihian had this
year sold $14,000 of apples fiom an
orchard of 35 acres. This orchard is
tbe one illustrated in a reoeut bien
nial report of the Oregon State Boar J
of Horticulture. Its history Is a pow
erful tribute to the value of the Ore
gon Experiment station aud the Ore
gou State liuaid of Horticulture;. A
few years ago the orchard, through
tie ravages of the apple cauker or au-
thraouose was ou tbe verge of dying
out aud ' as worthless from a prauicul
standpoint. Horticultural torn ml
sinner Carson tisitted the orchard
aud persuaded Eismau liros. to treat
the orchard in the manner adviseed
by Prof. A. 11. Ooidley, of the Ore
gon Experiment stutiou. The treat
ment wail notably sucesnful and the
change in tho appearance of the or
chard was most magical. It has now
for three years beeu one i f the most
profitable orchards iu Oregon. for
valils limes.
E. X. Ill) the ItcsijfHs.
E. N. Hlythe, who baa been news
editor of tbe Eveniug Teller for more
than a year, seveis his oonuectiou
with the paper today to accept a moie
lucrative position with the r'ortlaud
Oregoniau. He will assume his new
duties on the first of the year.
With the departure of Mr. Ulylhe
the Evening Teller loses one ot the
brightest men and the local journal
Istio field one ot its most cupable
members.
Since Mr. lilythe assumed the news
editor's desk of the Evening leller it
has grown to be one ot tbe best liked
evening pa pes in this section of the
Pacific Nothwest.
Mr. Hlythe is not going to a new
field ; he bas beeu offered a flattering
position on a paper which knows his
l. i - t.ti:i
worm, appreuiat.es uis uuimimitipn,
values his energies, places teliance
upon his judgment in the handling
of news, beoause he lias workeed upon
the Oregoniau before. The desire of
the management to again enroll Mr.
Hlythe upon its editorial stait is a
higher tribute to the young man thai,
all the praisewoi thy expressions thai
might be written by the wleldor of
tbe most expressiouabh) pen, Lewis
ton Teller.
Celebrated (.'olden Wedding;.
Mr. and Mrs. B. R. Husbands cele
brated their golden wedding Christ
mas day at their resideuce at Sea
tuigolit, Csl., the affair being an In
formal at home from 2 to 4 p. m.
They were assisteed in receiving by
tbeir daughter, Mrs. Lee Howard.
The decorations were of ferns, yel
low chrysanthemums aud pink rosea,
and there was a mellow, electric light,
daylight b in excluded by closed
blinds. Light refreshments were
nerved by lady friends ot the hostess
during tbe aiteinoon, and congratula
tions were received from numerous
friends, lelograius and messages were
received from absent friends and rel
atives.
Mr. aud Mrs. U. P. Merrill, of Sea
bright, who have also passed their
golden wedding, were present, and

Cruz.
Apples Dull andlEssj.
The New York market bas been dull
and easy this week. While receipts
here have beeu light tbe reported
shiomeuts are heavy, aud the oold
weather mails it necessary for sellers
to move their stock more rapidly
than they otherwise would, so that
there has been a pressure to sell while
buyers showed an unwillingness to
take bold in a large way. It was ex
pected that the trade would be light
this week, hut the weather oonditlous
added to the depression. The export
demand is expected to improve veiy
shortly, and lu tr.ct the markets on
the otber side aro reported io uave
shown fairly good results this week.
If the railroads are able to supply
the cars tbe indications are that tbe
shipments will be heavy from New
l ork state as tbe bolilers or apples
In common storaue are willing to ship
when they can get tho cars to moe
their fruit, and tbe advices are that
there is a large quantity both in com
mon aud cold stor ige to be disposed
of. Some of the large shippers advise
that tbe common storage stock be
kept moving in order that it may be
gotten out of the way of tbe oold
storage later on, and If this is done
it is predicted that tbe Increased do
mestio consumption together with the
export trade will take oare of tbe
large availiahle supply of fruit.
