At a meeting held at The Dalles
Friday night at the Commercial Club,
It was decided that the city will be
represented at the rose show in Port
land by a float. The float will be
decorated with the products of the
vicinity and will be one of the fea
tures of the spirit of the Golden
West parade.
Climatic conditions during the
past winter have been exceptionally
favorable for all farm crops and the
present fair weather is considered
ideal for fruit. The cold spring has
kept the fruit trees- back, thus pro
tecting them to a large extent from
danger of injury from frosts and late
rains. Farmers expect a large fruit
harvest.
An industrial train for the benefit
of farmers will be run by the O. R.
ft N. Company through Umatilla
county some time in May. The pur
pose Is the same as It was in the
Palouse country, the object being to
discuss with farmers the wisest meth
od of soil treatment so as to do
away with the present summer fal
low plan and raise a crop each year.

United Brethren Church on East
Morrison and Fifteenth streets, Port

after having saturated the window
sill and the floor inside with kero
sene, applied a match and ran away.

ANNUAL MEETING
APPLE GROWERS
E. H. SHEPARD IS NEW MEMBER
Euthnslastlc Meeting is Held and Ad-
Journment Taken for Two Weeks
to Finish Work.
ibe anouai stockholders meeting of
the Hood River apple growers' meet-
iug was held Saturday at Artisans
ball for the purpose of electing a
board of directors for the ensuing
year and to transact otbei matteia
to come before the meeting.
It was well towards noon before a
quorum was had, the important work
on the ranches keeping many at home
and others did not come owing to iu-
ditfeieuce.
(1. A. McCurdy, president, was in
the obair and called the meeting to
order, O. II. Sproat, the secretary,
aotiug as clerk of the meeting.
The first order was the leading of
the minutes of the last annual meeting
wblob were approved.
A. P. liatebxui, of theMosior union,
was preseut aud addressed the meet
ing, stating that the Mosier union de
sired oo-opeiation witb the Hood
River union iu regard to selling and
marketing the crop, aud that he de
sired that two members of the Mosier
union be placed ou the board of di
rectors to tost eud. He thought that
it would be to the interest of both
places to work together, instead of
oompetiug witb enoli other in the sale
of fiuit, to the detriment of both. 1".
W, Angus read aud iutroduced a reso
lution calling for two directors from
Mosiet to be elected ou the board.
Mr. Datebam said that he thought
that such action would add strength
to both unions. He said that he pre
sumed tbe growers of Hood River
weie satisfied as to the quality of
Molser apples, as well as the pack.
He said that be and Mr. Carroll were
willing to take a share of stock to
make them eligible to membership in
the uuion.
V. Winobell asked what percentage
ot the Mosier growers belonged to Ibe
uniou. Mr. Rateham said that all the
growers ot Mosier belonged to the
nnion, and that he bad authority to
make tbe proposal
J. 11. Shoemaker asked what varie
ties of apples were mostly raised at
Mosier.
Mr. Carroll said that at present there
were as many Red Cheeks and Ben
Davis as any otner, but that the new
orohards coming on were mostly New
towns and Spitzeobetgs.
Mr. Shoemaker said that he felt
friendly to Mosier, but that he
thought tbe Hood River union bad
its bauds full with their own business.
Mr. Ratebam replied, saying that
be thought that a combination would
be a help to both in selling tbe pro
duct. He said that they would put
the same energy In helping tbe sale of
tbe product of both unions as In sell
ing their own, and it would be a mu
tual benefit.
Mr. Angus said that tbe more com
petition that oould be out out tbe
better it would be for all. It would
work an injury to growers to have tbe
same class ot apples pitted sgainet
eaob other. In a shoit time there
would be a continuous orohard from
Hood River over tbe mountain to
Mosier, and that it was practically
tbe same kind of produot
O. Vanderbilt thought that all the
members ot tbe Mosier uuion should
buy a share of stock to be entitled to
tbe benefits of tbe Hood River union.
Mr. Bateham thought that it would
not be fair to Mosier growers to be
oompelled to buy stock iu the Hood
River uniou when they had to sup.
port their own union, build their own
warehouses aud pay their own ex
penses the came as here, and they
would got no benefits from tho Hood
River uuiou exoopt as to the matter
of selling the product.
Mr. Wlnchell was of the opinion
that each union should sell its own
produot on its merits. Mr. Markbam
was ot the same opinion.
C. II. Sproat thought the Hood
River union whs large enough aud
with the large amount of apples to be
marketed In the near future it would
have enough to do to look after its
own business. He also asked if it
was the inteutiou to sell Mosier ap
ples as Hood River apples. Mr. Rate
bam said not necessarily. Mr. Sproat
thought that he should not be re
sponsible for the reputatiou of Mosier
apples. Ibis year tbe inspection will
be more rigid than ever. Eaob grow
er will be put on his own merits. If
they took in Mosier they might be
obliged to take in White Salmon and
Underwood as well, '
Mr. Bateham said that tbe same ap
ple buyers bought both Hood River
snd Mosier apples, and Mosier had
never bad a box rejected. They paid
their packers by tbe day, as he pre
dicted Hood River would have to do.
They did not have a grower who
wanted to put in null apples aud were
very strict witb their pack.
A motion was made and seconded
to lay the resolution ou tbe table.
Mr. Caiter said that be thought the
matter should be well considered.
