HAWAIIAN PARTY
TO ARRIVE SOON
WILL VISIT HOOD RIVER IN 10 DAYS
Plans Being Made to Entertain the
Young l.iulles While In
Hood Ithfr.
The llawiian young ladies will visit
Hood Eiiver about the middle of Oc
tober, aooording to a letter received
by Mrs. Kdith Tozier Weathered,
from Los AnnWeH The following let
ter to Lesli Hi'itlcr will be of iuter
ent :
"Presume r.u nn Sundering the
wbereaboi.ts ' tliu liawniian party?
Well, we ii.o ttill 'doing' southern
California. The best people are giv
ing tbe best ct attention. San Frau
oisoo, Kaoiamonto, Los Angeles and
other places have certainly treated
the girla royally. Club women aud
commercial clubs have joiued in ex
tending greetings to their guests.
Am very anxious that Oregon will
'show off as well as California has.
We will reach Portland ou Saturday,
Ootober 5, an 1 about eight or nine
duys will find us in Hood liiver.
"Do you have a fiuit fair this year,
and what is the date if you do?
"We will stop a day aud night in
Salem, Friday, October 4, leaving
there on Saturday morning for Port
land. We will stop at Hotel Imperial
while in Portland, 1 will write you
there or you can write me as to date
thut will host suit us both.
"Have received so many invitations
throughout California to have the
young ladies visit theii locality, but
time, will not permit. A presidential
party could not have been better
treated. They are very popular wher
ever they go. Last Sunday they sang
at tbe First CongiegaMonal churoh in
Sacramento. We are all anxious to
reach Oregon and it will give me a
chance to breathe.
Kdyth T. Weatherred."
The Honolulu Bulletin of August
loth, gives the names of seven ot the
young ladies as follows: iMisa Katie
Sadler, Daisy Todd, Miss Hester Lem
on, Lillian Muudou, Miss L. Callie
Lucas, Ilattie L. Salfrey, Kose
Aloiau, aud says: "iheee are the
young ladies selected by tbe people of
Hawaii, patrons of the B'llletin, to
represent this teriitory in a tour of
the Paciflo const states as the guests
of the Evening Bulletin. Miss Mun
don and Miss Aloiau are from the isl
and of Kauai ; Miss Lucas aud Miss
Lemou fnm tbe city of Honolulu, ou
the island ot Oahu, and Miss Hatfrey
and Miss Todd are from tbe Island ot
Hawaii. The young ladies are worthy
representatives of the islands. They
are of Island birth, were educated in
island schools aud three Miss Aloiau,
Miss Sadlei aud Mies BaQrey aie suo
oesstul teaoherg iu the public schools
of tbe territory, iuey will tour tue
coast under the ohnperouage of Mrs.
& 1. Weatherred, leaving Honolulu
ou the steumor Sierra Sept. 4. When
the tour is complete these young la
dles will have traveled a greater num
ber of miles than any paity ever sent
out by an Amerioau newspaper." The
other two ladies acoonipamug Mrs.
Weatherred are teaoheis In Honolulu,
and are making the trip for eduoa
tional purposes. Their names could
not be learned at this writing.
Arrangements are being made to en
tertain the youug ladies at Hood Kiv
er but the exact piogram has not yet
been deoided upon. Ibe manner ot
entertainment wilj depend somewhat
upon the weather and also the plans
of Mrs. Weatnored. The party is ex
pected to hi rive here by boat and re
main about 24 hours. A trip to the
Devils Punch Bowl on the Mt. Hood
railroad and a drive around the valley
will take up most of the day, while it
is planned to give a reception in the
evening, hui tne mayor wilt give
them au address of welcome, followed
by remarks from others, a few songs
by Hood Biver youug ladies, etc. The
reception will pribBhly be held Bt the
Mt. Hood hotel, unless a suitable ball
oau be secured for tbe occasion.
As the young ladies have never seen
an apple tree in tbeir native country,
tne drive around tne valley win ne a
revelation. Their extended trip
through the Paoitlo ooast country will
be an educational feature that will
never be forgotten.

Cboniole's Infomant Is veracious

Vancouver. B C, Monday. SapL
30. The commercial Interest of Van
couver and tbe ooast generally will in
all probability be granted by tne Ca
nadian Paciflo railway substantial
concessions in tbe matter of freight
rates eastward Into the territory trib
otary to Lethbridge, Calgary and Ed
monton. While no official statement to tbii
effect could be secured from Mr. F.
L. Peteis, assistant freight manage!
of the Canadian Paciflo railway, the
fact that tomorrow morning be will
meet the freight ratea committee of
tbe board of trade to discuss tbls
question indicate that redaction! In
present rate are probable.
"About advaced rates on lumber to

"ell, tbe Canadian Paciflo railway
bas done nothing ai far as tbe British
Columbia coast is concerned," said
Air. feters. "Un that date tbe Amer

soand is oonoeined. ibe old rate
have been 40 and 50 cents on flr and
oedar respectively, and after Novem
ber 1 they will be 50 and GO cent.
No, I oannot say that the Canadian
Paciflo railway will increase the rates
from Biitish Columbia at all events
the question has not been raised yet.
"While the lumber market in the
noitwest la slack at present I antici
pate that demand will Increase short
ly. The slackness In demand hat been
due to the fact that people in the

joined the association they elected

COMMERCIAL
CLUB MAY BUILD
PERMANENT HOME FOR THE CLUB
A Plan on Foot to Erect Large Bnild.
lot; to Accommodate Frnlt Fair
and Commercial Club.
A tpeoial meeting of the Commer
cial ciub directors was held at tbe club
room Monday evening to conrider a
proposition from J. E. Nichols to
lease the second story of bla new build
ing to the club lor a term of years.
While the matter ot securing better
quarters for tbe club met with unaui-
mous favor, it was tbe sentiment that
the matter be taken up on a broader
toale and unite tbe several organiza
tions in building a laige building, in
a favoiable location, which would ao
commodate them all, and be for tbe
best interests of tbe city and country.
It has been tbe opinion for tome
time that the fruit fair should beheld
annually, instead of every two years,
and that a permenent building be
erected wblob oould be used for the
fair, a convention ball or auditor
ium, a home for the Commercial
olub, tbe Business Men'a Protective
assocition, etc To that end a com
mittee was appointed by President
Davidson to canvass tbe matter and
see if the undertaking oould not bo
carried '.out In a manner whloh would
meet all requirements.
It was the opinion of those present
that the two comer lota opposite the
Wauooma hotel would be tbe best lo.
cation for suoh a building, at it la
close to tbe depot, tbe hotels, and the
oenter of tbe business distriot. The
grade ot Second street going down to
tbe depot ia steep enough to give at
full stoiy in the basement, with a
front on Seoond street, and a room
oouldbe made for exhibition pur
poses about 100 by 125 foet, whioh
would be well lighted and of ample
proportions. Tbe first flooi oould be
rented for business purposes, and
help seouie a ievenue sufficient with
reuts from the fair and Commercial
olub to pay the Interest and retire
tbe bonds in a term of yeara. The
seoond floor oould be made into an
opera bouse and auditorium, beside
quarter for tbe Commeroial olub, and
other organization of similar or pub
lic oharaoter.
It ia proposed to merge the fair as
sociation, the merchants' association,
the Commeroial olub and the corpora
tion recently formed, called the Hood
River Development Co.. into one or
ganization, for the purpose of the
building, and unite all interest Into
tbe one great object of ptovidlng a
home whloh will result in gieat good
to all. It will be project in whloh
the country wilt be interested equally
with the city. The fair association
baa spent from $500 to $800 every time
a fair waa held in putting up a tem
porary struotare. If that money
oould go toward the maintenance of
a fine building, much better results
oould be obtained at no greater ex
pense than ia biennially incurred,
while the quartera oould be used at
all time for otber purpose.
Good building site are being rap
idly picked up, and tbe prloe la ad
vancing eveiy year. Now ia tbe time
to aeoure a auitable plaoe, and it
hould be done. The time ha oome
for tbe holding of an annnal fruit
fair, and a permanent building ia
needed for tbe purpose. Hood River
baa long needed an auditorium or
oouvention hall for general assem
blies, and now 1 the time to seonre
one.
The undertaking ia no imitll one,
and it will require the oombined ef
forts of ell interests, oity and .coun
try, to aeoure tbe funds necessary to
carry out tbe enterprise. It li to be
hoped that it oan be accomplished.
At tbe meeting a ooramittee was ap
pointed, consisting of J. L. Hender
son, Frank A. Cram and G. D. Wood
worth, to request tbe oo'inoil to plaoe
several light on the east tide giade
to light the road at night, a there
are many dangerous placa on tbe
grade, and tbe evening will soon be
short. Tbe matter of more bitching
plaoe for team will also be consid
ered, and it waa suggested that the
directors of the Apple Grower Sup
ply Co. be asked to allow raoka and
sbeda to be plaoed on their property,
and that they be put up by the oity.
if tbe Davidson lota be secured for
the purpose ot building. It will be
necessary to remove tbe racks now on
that ground, and another plaoe must
be seoured. The present raoks are not
sufficient now to aooommodate tbe
teams on a busy day, and more room
must be secured.
Apples for the Orient.
F. Eggert reoeived a draft for $90
last week from a friend for 20 boxes
of apples from Eggermont, to be
Spitzenberga and Newtowns in equal
qualtities. They are to be shipped to
Shanghai, China, ibey go from here
to Seattle, where they will be loaded
on a boat whioh sails November 3.
Mr. Eggert also reoeived a request
from an apple Arm at Rottetdam for
tbe entire crop of the Eggermont or
chard, at any reasonable prloe. A
Mr. Avery, who manages the oichard,
bas sold bis orop to tbe Davidson
Fruit Co., through the Apple Growera
union, ha referred the letter to Mr.
Davidson.
Mr. Avery said that every box ot
apples which goes from tbe Egger
mont orchard bas hi name and that
of Mr. Eggert on tbe box, a well aa
the address. They are ulso very care
ful that nothing ia shipped oot which
they are ashamed of. In thia way
tbey are building up a reputation that
is bringing inquiries from all over
tbe world.
