Steele HOOD RIVElt, OUUUO.N ENTHUSIASTIC FOR GOOD ROADS CONVENTION DOES GOOD WORK Will Ask for .Men iood Itoads Law and liaise $10,010 to Start Campaign Hood River Sends Hi? Delegation. With twenty the delegates iu at tendance at the Uood Roads Conven tion in Portland, Hood Hiver was one of the best represented sectious in tbe btate, and the interest shown by them is expected to result in a movement here for better roads. Delegates from all sections were unanimous iu tb-ir pledges to support a general move ment to secure better roads through out the stale and to eudeavor to se cure the parage of laws that will en able it to get them. The meeting was called to order Tuesday morniug by C. V. llodHOn, president ot the Portland Commercial Club, who spoke briefly. The two great questions ot com merce, Preeideut llodson said, were tho problems ot pioductious and dis tribution. Tho good roads question bad to do with tbe latter. Ibe speak er said tint he hoped Ibe result of the conference which he was calling to order would be legislation of a char acter to settle tbe good roads protdem for Oregon and put tbe state iu tbe trout ranks of those states which wore building good roads and highways. Mr. llodson called attention to the bill whiob was before the last session of the legislature but which was vetoed by tbe governor. He suggested that the conference look iuto this bill and if good were found iu it to work with the legislature to pass it over the veto. If the measure weie lame in some particulars these could be amended and .corrected after tbe bill bad been restored to life by the next legislature. This, tbe speaker said, was ottered as a suggestion. Judge Webster had refused to pra side aud so the subject was left open tQ the meeting. County Judge J. 13. Messick, of Ma ker City, was elected permanent chair man of tbe meeting after several other men had beeu placed iu nomination aud had withdrawn. A, A. Jayne, ot Hood KWer, Judge Cbrisman, Judge Jobu 11. , Hoott, all were placed in nomination, but stated that tbey did not wish to be placed in tbe chair. Accordingly, Judge Messiok was elect, ed permanent chairman by acclama tion. Cbairmau Messick in his address of acceptance was short and to tbe point. He said that be bad beeu interested in good road work for two years in llaker county, but that be did not care to talk. He wanted lo get to work and therefore asked tbe pleas ure of the meeting. John 11. Albert, of Salem, answered tho call of the obairmau. He said that bo was one of the veterans of tbe good road movement He congratu lated Multnomah oounty on its awak ening iu tho good loads causo. Following Mr. Albert's address John II. White was elected secretary of tbe conference by acclamation. Then J. O. Lee moved that a commit tee of live on logUlatiou be appointed bn fie chair. This was amended by W. K. Newell to read seven instead of Qve, and was passed in tbat shape af ter soino discussion. A. A. Jayne wanted to have one member from each comity. Tom Richardson wanted to have the dilfnreut organizations and businesses interested in good roads represented. A. C. Statteu said that the furmeri ought to have a represen tation, as be did not believe that all the good road kuowledgo wasoouUuod tc the oraniums ot the county judges and state senators of tbe state. Tom Richardson was called upon aud told ot the objects of tho meet ing. He said be believed that a cam paign should bo started lu favor of good roads. He believed that there should be a road supervisor to oversee tbe good road work of the state. He said tu .t be had asked Judge Webster if be would preside at tbe conference, aud it he would take charge of a movement to work for tho spread of the good roads idea throughout the state. There was no deal and no stacked cards in tbe matter at all. Wiiat was wanted wan to get an organ ization with a definite policy so that tbe financiers of the stato co-ild be ap pealed to for aid iu the gocd roads movement. Mr. liichardsou said that h would pledge that Multuomab county would raise 59 per cent of auy sum that could be piovlded by the state for gjol i o a 1 work, and that at tbe same time the county would not uaut it spent here because Multnomah coun ty did not need it. Judge Webater was tba next speaker. He said be believed there should be a state law which would appropriate $10,000 'or each county of tbe slate, ptorided the county would appiopri ate a like au.ouut fur the ennsti uctiou c.f good r. m i!s. lie iilio wanted a Ijw which J-vould pre-. He lor the locul imprcicmuut ol mads, lie also believed iu the enact ment of a convict labor bill, enabling tbe counties to work their prisoners aod tbe state its prisoners iu the building of toads. If theto tills could not be passed, be believed in tbe ap propriation of from 10,uki to for the expenses of a highway com missioner, who should work for the construction of good roads through out tbe state. John II. Scott also addressed the meeting. He spoke in favor of tbe construction of a state road. He wanted to join tbe state ot Oregon oo Ibe south with California, and on tbe north with Washington, iu a great state road. The legislative committee named by tbe conference and which will draft a new good roads law bill consists of: Couuty Judge J. II. Messick, ot linker ; Senator A.J. Johnson, of lieutou; Couuty Judge L. R. Webster, cf Multnomah; J. 11. Scott, ot Marlon; W. K. Newell, president of the State Hoard ot Horticulture; A. T. iiuxton, master of the State Grange; J. 1). Lee, ot Polk, and Denton Dowers, of Jackson. The committee expects to soon arrange for a preliminary meet log, when plana for its important work will be outlined. The committee on ways and tueanB recommended tbe raising by popular subscription of 110,000 ns a fund with which to conduct a good roads cam paign. Tbe employment of Judge Webster and ex-Judge Scott was rec otnmeudcd, their work to be directed by the membeis of tho committee which also asked that its existence be continued. The members cf this com mittee are: John 11. Albert, ot Salem; A. A. Jayne, Jof Hood River; State Dairy and Food Commissioner Dailey. John S. Deall, U. W. Evans, Tom Riobnrdsou, of Portland. W, L. Crissey was elected secretary of tbe oommittee without salary. A sulllcieut part of the $10,000 baa already been subscribed that the work of arousing publio sentiment still further and eduoating county oflleiels on the subject ot road buildingjcau be inauguiated as soon as Judge WetiBtei aud Mr. Scott can arrange their affairs to take up tbe new work. The coufeieuoe ended its business sessions about 5 o'olook Tuesday a? teruoon and Wednesday morning ovei 100 ot the delegates left the Commer cial Club in automobiles fcr an in spection of Multnomah county roads aud the plant at Kelly Kutte.

Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 11. Alexander Oarlaud, who claims to have been secretary of the Peruvian legation at Washington and who with Mrs. Louiz Garland was arrested Sat urday on a charge of disturbing the peace, was released on bail furnished by Antonio Lozano, Mexican Consul In Los Angeles, The troubles of the Garlands be gan last week over some letters said to have been received by Mrs. Gar land from prominent men in Wash ington public life. When taken to central police station, Mrs. Garland, who was well suppHe4 with funds, gave $50 cash hall fr herself, but refused to assist, her himband who re mained in jail over night. As there Is no Peruvian represen tative in Los Angeles Sonor Lozano furnished bail for the young man. Garland was very reticent in re gard to the true reason for the trou ble between himself and his wife. "I shali say nothing that might in jure her reputation in any way or cause her pain," he said. "She la a niece of Attorney-General Donaparte and well-known In the East. I was secretary of the Peruvian legation In Washington until May a year ago, when I was suspended on account of an altercation v iih Colonel Charles A. Edwards, in which I was stabbed and as a result went tq a hospital for several weeks." EASrERN APPLE CROP SITUATION SMALL CROPS IN MANY DISTRICTS Condition In F.at Khonld Make tieod Prices for Fancy West ern Itox Apples. Mote and piactically complete re turns In regard to tbe apple orop from all parts ot the United States and Canada give added indication! that Hood Hiver should receive a highly profitable figure for its apple orop tbia year. It is stated by apple men who are well posted that eastern buyers are standing together this year iu the hope of securing fancy box apples for prices that will be less than their fine quality and crop conditions warrant. There is no question, tbey aay, of tbe line quality of this year's orop and of tho fact that It ought to command high prices. Repcrts received show that the ap ple crop in the Hudson river valley and Western New York, considered a big factor In prioe making for bigb quality apples, is only average. It is reported as being aligbtly more than that of last year, but far below that of 10OC. In tbe New England states tbo orop is a light one with the report from Maine cf but one-quarter ot last year's yield. Pennsylvania will have 00 to 75 per oeut iu some sectious with only 25 per cent in others. Michigan will have a much smaller orop than last year, bile Ohio and West Virginia will have no winter ap ples at all to speak of. A fair crop is reported from the western part ot Illi nois, with almost a total failure in other sections of tbe state. Tbe big oi op expected In Benton county, Ar kansas, will not materialize and es timates place the shipment there at not over 25 cars. In other parta ot the state the orop is reported as prao tioally a failure. Reports from all parts ot Missouri show llgbt crops or failures. In tbe Ozark region, which last year shipped 40,000 bait els of ap ples, growers claim tbey will be lucky it they ship out 2,500 barrels this year. Kansas reports run from 25 to 50 per cent crops iu the eastern sec tion of the state. Colorado reports a 20 per cent crop in the Grand Junction district and a light oiop in others. New Mexioo has a 120,000 bushel crop in thePeooa val ley and Utah also reports a full orop of good quality apples At Watson ville, Calif,, a 3,000 oar orop is report ed, whiob ia only average for tbia dis trict, as this it 000 can lesa tban it shipped in 1906, but a much bigger orop than that of 1907. In tbe northwest states a good aver age crop is reported from idabo. In Washington reports state that Wenat cbee expeota to ship 200 oara more than it did last year, while Yakima oomes to the front with tbe statement that it will ship oat 1 400 acres of ap ples as against 550 last year. In Oregon, Hood River will lead all othei distiicts with a 400 to 500 oar orop, Medtord, Asbland and Grants Pass are expeuted to furnish 200 to 300 oars more, while the Willamette val ley and Eastern Oregon and tbe small er apple growing districts In the state are thought to be good for an addi tional 300 oars. In all it Is expeoted that from 1,200 to 1,500 oars of applet will be shipped out of the atate tbia year. Average oropa are aisa reported from Nova Scotia and Canada. Llgbt oropa generally over tbe United States are expeoted to atiengtben the demand for apples at Hood River and also other sections in the northwest. Tba prospeots for tbe export trade are also given as good aa authorities on tbe demand tor American apples state that there will be few apples iu Eng land and on tbe continent than there was last year. .inn Useless ; Brings Suit.
