(bciiK'i It waa bis first experience in
that inpicity be did the honors in a
way to retleot credit upou himself and
the ussoclittiun. lie said in part:
"l'l.o Portland Retail Uioeers Asso
ciation was organized about a year
ago iucl the Hood River Association
wai organized soon attar. The bene
fits are derived in many ways. We
11 ud we can do business In barmonv
aud we And it a great aid to handle
our credit business and save a large
percentage of loss, l'be merchants
of the state are forming these associa
tions and coming into the state or
ganization. Many think the work of
the association covers only the retail
grocers, but many lines of business
are represented and any man doing a
oredit busiueas can get benefits from
tne association."
P, r. Ktr.llh P..nnn.l.J InlK. tna.l
"Hood River, Past aud Piesent.''
Mr. Smith said: "It Is thirty-two
yeais tomoirow since I landed here
with my traps on the sand bar on the
banks of the Columbia. 1 was met
with teams by the two or three pio
neers who had preoeded me to the val
ley. Peter illnrichs and M. Peelor
bad wagons. Spring flowers were in
bloom and the children were delighted
with them and the country 1 bought
thiee-quarters of a aeotiou on the Bel
mont road, where we made our home,
and afterwards donated a piece of
land for the Franktou school bouse.
there was a large orchard on the1
place, tbe trees planted twenty feet
apart. There wai a nursery jeor by
and 1 contracted trees of tbe proprie
tor to set out more ground and also
to Oil In vnoant spaces. In order to
tma pi ices to set all tbe trees 1 had
bought he put them in between the
old trees, until tbe orchard resembled
a nursery row. I soon made up my
mind that this was to be a valley of
almost limitless wealth and piedioted
that the land would be divided Into
small tracts, wbloh baS oomo to pass.
ine present townsite was then a cow
pasture, dotted with flue oak trees.
Or. Robinson said on a visit to Hood
River that while Virgluia waa tbe
pioneer in the fruit business, in tbe
United States she must now learn
from Oregon how to grow fruit. Our
apple orobards have taken the highest
poeriou wiiere trutt Is bought 01 sold.
As we are first la fruit we are first in
other things. We aie first in sobool
work. Old man Uoe'a dream was to
have a maguitlcent school placed on
tbe point overlooking the city. A
prominent authority bas said that
iiood River was tbe Ideal place for
higher eduoaUon Portland would
send their children to sobool here.
We must also have good roads. No
country can succeed without good
roads It is estimated that this year's
apple crop will make 14,000 wagon
loads, wnion will nave to be hauled
to towu over our toads. It would
taks 100 teams foui months to bring
them in. We need a trolley road to
help move our crops."
Truman tsuiler was tbe next speak
er and at onoe put tbe assembly in
good humor by telling a story of the
uoy and tne torn pants. Mr. butlei
said that tbe association was doing
good work and there was much yet to
be done, lie tnought tnny should get
together oftener. l'be Poitland asso
ciation gets together once a mouth.
The banquets are a good thing, but
they should be charged for end not
have tbe expense borne by tbe asso
ciation.
Hon. A. A. Jayne waa called and
said that be was unfortunate in these
gatherings foi the reason that he
could neither drink colfee nor smoke.
"1 was impressed with the remarks
ot the toastuiaster," -aid Mr. Jayne.
" The objects of tho association aie
good, tbe obief end being to koep tab
on bad debtors, I think that depends
much upon tbe poiut ot view. Now
we all lealize we are down in the big
book nnd some of us would open that
hook with a good deal of trepreda
tion. 1 tbiuk that another factor
could be added to the work of this
sssooiatiou. Business men should take
more interest in politics. Now is a
good time. 'This Is the budding time
of year when men s minds turn to
thoughts of ollioe. it would not be
out of tbe way to talk politics. Tbe
poliMoiuu in the past bsda genius for
intugue He bnd peculiar qualities
for knowing about bis neighbors, lie
had nothing else to do. Itistbeten
deucy among business men to turn
politics over to tbe professional poll
ticians and give them tbe manage
ment of tbe campaign. Just now
there is a wave of teform sweeping
over the country a moral reform; a
political reform, it Is tbe duty of
the business men to pay some atten
tion to politic. We are all Interested
in good men in office, good policies,
Tbiuk of these things and devote some
time to politics, ibe grange and
the church are into politics end wby
not wer"
E. Brayford, tbe Rookfnrd mer
chant, spoke on tbe text, "Pull To
gether." He poiuted out the advant
ages of pulling together and aoting as
a nnit In good business methods,
working tor tbe nest Interests of mer
chant and customer alike. "Let us
pull together and cut the wires, aud
we will accomplish the object we have
In view. Most of you know wbat I
mean when I say cu'. tbe wires. Let
as pull together."
11. F. Davidson said ha was used to
attending farmers' banquets, but t
business men's banquet waa a new
thing in Hood River. He thought tbe
Idea of limiting credit was a good
thing, although it mibt be tbe means
of di if ing lawyers Into politics. He
thought the merchants ejuld do uiurb
good to themselves and the publ o
hen they consider their own good.
The banquet rieaerved a high compli
ment and it ought to be continued.
Much good would come ot getting to
gether. F. A. Cram waa iutrodttced by tbe
tuastiuabter as oue who was progres
sive, optlmiatio and always up to
date. Mr. Cram said that it was "re
markable that we find here a repretcu
tative ot eveiy buninec-s in the com
munity. We aie youug and optimis
tic We hive people here who are
unusual as customers, xney ate more
patrlotio than tbe people in other
cities and towns ot tlio country. We
nare many kssurauces i.f this fuu'.
l'be younger el"iueet in btitiiuess here
should join lu uiakiug liond Klvt r a
oeutral busluesa point. 1 et us take
ca e of that busiueM. We tiave a
lar-e outlying district, from bteren
son to The Dalles and extending south
to Mt. Hood and north to Mt. Adams.
All this is tributary to Hood Hirer.
Every man iu buainess can draw and
u.aiutain busiuess to theli advantage.
Honest goods cau be sold to bonett
men at low prices. Let us get In
clote tnuob with ourselves and each
other."
Mr. Cram tbon read an agreement
slgued by practically every business
man in tbe city to discontinue tbe
Pacitlo States phcue March 1. "1
think is a proposition we should got
together on and stick together on.
vvbat we want is tbe beet. The uew
system is so far superior to the other
that it is unworthy to be mentioned
In the same breatb. Let us build op
the Home phone. We are all inteiest
ed. It is of great bouelit to tbe new
company to bave all tbo assistance
possible."
E. U. Uartwig said that tbe toat-
master iu introducing Mr. Juvne mid
that be repiesentud tho elemeut to oil
tbe wheels of busiuess. "The profes
sion is (0 be congratulated if that end
la attained, there is another phase.
the objeut ot the association is to re
duce losses, to stop leaks. The ques
tion Is bow much we can save. If
you sell goods on credit and do not
oolleot, those who pay must suiter, it
is a good thing to establish a limited
oredit and do a cash business as much
as possible. The wage eainer should
get lu tbe habit of saving a part ot
tils wsgB. 1 recall tbe advice given
to young men by an eminent man,
who sa.i, 'get your name on tbe tax
i oil. If you cannot do that, get iu-
urRtice; get a wife.' The demaud foi
ure. tit is growing lets. Wo have pass
ed through the hard times. People
should get out of the habit ot living
beyond their meuus. lioloie whole
sale houses will give you credit they
viii investigate your resources and
your ability to pay. The nierclimit
bus the right to know the Hbilily of
his customer to pay wlieu be abks for
oredit. Honest men can c.l credit.
It we ciin not mako money we will be
satisfied to turnisb oil tu mako the
wheels go smooth."
Dr. W. S. Niohol si.U Uii t be . au
predated what it la lo.be in business
where the people were ot oue uccoid.
One who does a strict business cau
sell goods, There is no need to cut
prices.
The excellent banquet wrs prepared
sn.l seived by t h ladies nt the Chris
tian ohiitoh, who ted tbe grand inarch
as the guosts entered the hnll. Kiieh
of the ladles who waited on the table
had p. large letter fastened to her
waist and after tbe guests were seated
they marched to the bead of the ta
bles and they spellod "Hood River
liusiuess Men." Then tbey luurcbed
to the toot of the Utiles mid tbe lot
ters spelled "F'ebruary 29, 1908." It
was a very pretty maneuver aud was
greeted with euthuslustn by the
guests.
Woman's Club Reception.
Every woman of Hood Uiver and
Hood River Valley isoordially.iuvited

who are prominent in club woik lu
the state will be in attendance and

and valley.
Light refreshments will be served.
Irrigation vs. Frost.
The discussion of the ellioacy ol
tat pots in tbe orchards during tbe
mouth followng tbe development of
fruit buds and during which time
frotit may yet come to nip tbe fruit,
bas elicted a statement fium a lady
orohaidlst In the viciuity of this city
concerning ber experiment with water
snd its results two years ago, when a
good many fiuit buds suffered from
a lute visit or two by Jack Frot-t,
snys Ibe Yakima Republic. J bis
woman had onuoeived tbe idea that
water in sultioient quantity In tho
orchard might destroy tbe chance for
tbe late frosts; so sho turned the
water into the irrigating ditches
coursing through ber trees, except a
tew in one corner ot the tiact, which
oould not be conveniently renched
at that time. She kept tbe ditches
well tilled st nlgbt.
Tbe result was that In that pmtion
of the oiabsrd which she oould not
irrigate tbe front killed tbe buds, the
trees bearing no fruit last year. That
portion ot tbe orchard in which the
water bowed at night was wholly uuin
jured by the frost. This convinced her
that to irrigate the orchard during
tbe rjeriod of damage from frost will
prevent damage from that cause. It
is a cheaper and simpler method than
tbe tarpnts or any other Bystciti fo
far published. A triiil will oust little,
if anything, and will da no harm.
