S eele HOOD IUVE OREGON HOOD RIVER OUT ' FOR GOOD ROADS FORMS ASSOCIATION TO GET THEM After Loral Fntlmtiasts Listen to Km inent Adfec ates W ho Address Two Big Meetings Here. . Good Hoads bad its inning at Hood River Saturday when J. 11. Soott, president ot the State Good Roads Association, L. R. Webster, coouty judtte of Multuotuab county, and J. 11. Albert, treamrei of the Satte Asso ciation, oaine here aud started t be ball rolling. 1'wo meetings were held and resulted in etfeotiug a county good roads association. The Rood roads party arrived on No. 2 aud were met by a committee consisting of Leslie Butler, E.O. Blan char, V. L. Chirk, P. S. Davidson, Charles T. Eiirly, aud A. J. Derby. In the party, besides Judge Webster and Judge and Mrs. Scott, were J. II. Albert, president ot tbe l-'lrst Nation al Bank of Salem, and Mrs. Albert, Mr. aud Mrs. R. Watson, of 1'lla mnok, aud II. B. Chapmn, of l'oit lanJ. Tbe visitors were escorted to the Mt. Hood hotel, where they had lunch. tbe first meeting was held at two o'clock in the Opeia Houne and was well attended. Musio by the baud for half an hour before tbe meeting took place enlivened the occaNion. County Judge Derby CHlled the meetiug to order, introducing ns the lirst spenkei Judge Soott. Mr. Soott, who has had practical experience in road bounding in Marion county, gave a good practical talk. He opancd his remarks on the good roads question by saying that be believed the great eat good could be accomplished by the organization of good roads associ ations in every county iu the state. That the state association had udopt ed this plan aud that it was making a campaign throughout the state with this eud in view. It had already been successful in forming associations in two counties aud he felt suro that be fore the campaign was over strong working assooiationB would be organ ized iu nil the oounties iu Oitgon. It was up to Oiegon, Mi. Soott said, to take up tbe matter of good roads at ouoe. California and Washington bad appropriated large sums to im prove their publlo highways aud were building a system ot permanent roads that were developing their rosources aud improving their social and eco nomic conditions. Oregon, he stated, oould not altord to remain behind iu the march of progress iu this respect. He cited the case of Los Angeles oounty, Cal., which he said had bond ed for $3,000,000 to build permanent roads. Iu addition to this tbe stale was planning to spend many millions iu coustruoting permanent highways, one of which is to be a road that will reoh from the southern to the north ern boundary ot the state. Washing ton bad a similar state road projected and be wauted to see Oregon build a highway that would connect with these roods so that tbe state at large would receive the benetlt cf the great tourlHt travel aud other tralllo that would uudobtedly travorse it. If a road ot this fciud could be built it would form thi trunk with which tine roadways leading all over the stale could iuteisect and make possi ble a bin, network of publlo roads that would develop every section of the state more rapidly thu any means that could bo employed. Judge Soott stated that be did not at this time intend to go into the de tails of bow a good road should bo built, but as be bad beeu asked to give some idea of what bad beeu done iu this line in Marion county, he ex plained with the aid of a rough draw ing which he had made on a black board the necessity of securing a solid foundation and packing it down so that it was impervious to water. This was done by the use of a very heavy roller wbiob was run over the dirt roadbed until t was packed down sol id. Afterward whatever material it was decided to employ was put on it and rolled down with tbe use of water until it became so closely knitted together that the water no longer soako I into it but stayed on top or ran otf tho sides, showiug that it was water proof, lie had observed, he said, that Hood Rivei had a most ex cellent road making material ou every band and knew that if '.road building was takeu up here under competent direction and tbe correct system em ployed it'would bo but comparatively short time before Hood River county would have publio highways of which she and the state would be prend. Mr. Soott was followed by Mr. Al bert, who told of tho strong commit tee Hhat was appointed by the good roads conference in Portland to help In tho movement throughout tbe state and of tbe necessity of securing legis. lntion to make good roads possible, (iood roads, Mr. Albeit said, should not be considered by tbe tax payer as an expeueo, but as an investment which benefitted everybody in a com munity alike aud meant a better price for every produot that was hauled over tern. The concluding address in tbe after noon was made by Judge Webster. He stated in his opening remarks that he came from tbe oldest and i idlest county in tbe state to tbe vounuest aud mont progressive to get assistance iu getting good roads for Orexon, and that bo knew be ivas going to get it, Ho bad started from Portland, he said, with tbe idea that tbe ordinary diit and rock rosd which other dis tricts wanted would suUloe for Hood Hlver, but after reading of the apple sale which took'place here Friday, in volving the small amount of $1)0,000 for only part iif the crop, bo expected to see Hood River put down ashphnlt. Hood Kiver and Hood River apples, he stated, bad done more to make tbe state of Oregou known iu all quarters ot tbe civilized globe than any dis trict lu its boundaries. Ho wauted the same spirit to prevail here in tbe matter of good roads and tie brought a messuge from tbe residents of Mult nomah county to tlio.-e ot Hood Kiver asking tor help of its progressive oiti zona residents on this impnrtHiit issue and be felt that they would iivo it. In M(urit;g good roada for sll sec tions of the 'slate Mr Webster said the most important i-sue was iu se curing logUhitinu that would permit aud help th pe'inie of the state to build i hem. Wb. t was needed was not legislation that would require a special law for this county or that, but sweeping measures that would ap ply to all aectious ot tbe state alike. With these iu force and the pioper machinery, highways .could be buil under tbo direction of a state high way commisNioner that would be pei mauenat aud an sotu.il asset in tbe county lu wbiob they wore construct ed. lu order to obtain tbe proper laws for read building it was uecesssiy that tbe people of tbe statu should show a unanimous demaud for them and concentrate their efforts on a tew measures that would strintly apply to tbe needs of tbe situation. In this way the committee having tbe matter in chaige could go before tbe leu Ma in re knowing exactly what tbo people wanted aud be reasoubly ceitaiu of gettins it for them. Having made a study of the ques tion be had oome to tho conclusion that tbe most effective way to further the good roada movement aud get leg islntiou was by organizing hu aweocia tiou iu each county and in order to have a working basis be bad prepared a synopsis of the several measures which be thought would All the re quirements aud which were as fol lows: Fhst A law appropiiating 10,000 per year for two cousecutivo yearn to each oounty upon consideration that the couuty shall appropriate an equal amuout, and that this f 20, 000 be used in the construction of permanent roads. Ibis may be expended under the diieotion of a state commissioner of highways. hioh oWoe shall be created and provided for by this law. becoud--A law providing for tbe working of nil tbe prisoners serving sentence in tho city, town aud county jails, upou the oounty roads, uudei tbe direction ot the oounty couitsof tbe several counties, aud providing that any oounty not dosii ing to em ploy such persons may send them to any other couuty, which shall so em ploy them. Third A law providing for the em ployment ot persons confined in tbe state penitentiary in the preparation ot material for tbe construction of macadamized roads. Fouith A law providing for the or ganization ot local toad improvement distriots for tbe constiuotiou of per manent roads, a part of tbo expeuse of which shall be paid by the owners of the property adjacent to such roads and the remainder by the Btute aud couuty. 1' itth An amendment, to the consti tution empowering tbe several ooun ties, upon vote of the people, to bond tbe oounty for tbe money to be used in the construction of permanent roads, which shall be constructed un der the diieotion of tbe state commis sioner ot highways. We, whose names are hereto signed, hereby voluntarily associate ourselves together under tbe name ot tbe Hood Rivei Uood Roads Association. The purpose of the association is to enoourage aud assist in the oonstruo tiou and maintenance ot permanent publlo roads iu this couoty and throughout tbe state, aud we each personally pledge ourselves to do ev erything In out power to further tbe good roads movement and secure mob legislation as may be necessary to in agurate and carry ou the construotlon of a system of permanent publio high ways throughout tbe state. The ollioers ol tbe association shall consist of a president, vice president and a secretary and treasurer, who shall be elected by tho members. The bonding proposition evidently struok a responsive ohord in the minds of the audience, as ita moutlon met with beaity applause. Judge Webster went into details at some length in explaining bia idea as to working city, oounty aud state prisoners ou tbe roads, lie saw no reason, he said, why these men who had broken the laws of any commun ity should bo allowed to burden tbe taxpayers when they could be made uso of, and knew that they oould be successfully used in this capacity, as Multnomah couuty had beeu employ ing them for this purpose for some time. In fact, the county prisoners had built about all tbe maoadam road in tbe couuty. Refore closing he made a strong plea for those present to get Into commun ication witb tho representatives and state senator from this district and urge upou them the fact that tbey were interested in the good roads movement and of tho importance ot taking favorable notion on it at tbe next session of the legislature. At the close of the meeting many names were subscribed to tbe organiz ation papers and a meeting will be called later to elect ollioera for tbe as sociation. At tbe conclusion ot tho afternoon meeting the visitors wore takeu for an automobilo ride in the valley. Tbe evening meeting, which was well attended, was presided over by A. A. Jayne, president of the Commercial Club,. Judge Soott, Mr. Albert and Judge Webster again talked interest ingly, tbe former laying speciul stress on the good that could be accom plished iu the cause of good ruads by interesting the wives of the members of the associution in the niovemon'. He said be hoped their help would be enlisted at Hood Kiver and knew that if it was it would mean a good deal to tbe success ot tbe movement. Mr. Albert talked on good roads from an economic point ot view, show ing how they were a money saver and a value inoreaser to the farmer, and stated that tbe farmer's freight rate commenced at tbe bis front gate and not at tho railroad depot. Judge Webster presented tbe build ing of good roads from au altiuistio standpoint, in which he inveighed against a selfish individualism that precluded the idea of helping mauy instead of one or a few. Better roads meant easier communication and an uplifting ot social conditions and was conducive to a higher plane of thought and civilization. The dis course was along broad Hues, pro found in its analysis of tbe subject and was much enjoyed by the audi ence. Interjected into his address was the statement by Mr. Webster that when Hood River got ready to build good roads Multncmah county ould lend It tbe services of Mr. Chapman, wbo bad built tbe peruiaueut roads (or the latter, so that it oould get started right, and would charge notb ing for bis services. Judge, Lake, of Tbe Dulles, who was present at the evening meeting, also said a few words to help tbe good roads caut-o i.long and invited tbe res idents of Hood River to attend a good roads meeting which would aoon be held in bis home city. UNION SELLS 80 CARSJIFAPPLES GOTO NEW YORK AT GOOD PRICES Terms Are F. 0. B. Net at Hood River and Salo is the First Rig One in the orthwegt This Year. An apple sale Involving In tbe neighborhood of 'J0,000 took plaoe here Friday wben J. 11. Steinhait, of the firm of Stelnbart & Kelley, of New York City, contracted for 80 cars of Winter varietiea with toe Hood River Applegrowera' Union. The sale is said by Mr. Stelnhart and officers of tbe union to be the biggest and most important sale that has taken plaoe on tbe Coast this year and also to be tbe first ouliightt sale ot Winter fruit that has been made iu the Northwest for 1908. Ho far what few sales have been made were on tbe consignment basil, and tbe shipments have been amall oue. Tbe terms of tbe Hood River un ion's sale are f. o. b. net at Hood River and includes all tbe Newtown Pippins, Arkansas Blacks, Northern Spies, 4 y tier Baldwins, Ave oars of 4-tier Baldwins two oars of Jonathans and tbe 1 tier Spltzen bergs. Contrary to the procedure by wbiob tbe union baa sold its apples for the past three years, wben they were dis posed of by tbe sealed bid system, a plan which originated with the Hood River organisz'ion, the apples have uot been advertised for sale this year. After sizing up tbe situation tbe of ficers ot the union stated that tbey found tbe orop was getting too big to be disposed ot to one firm and that changing conditions also required a different plan of marketing. For these reasons tbey are erecting a big cold storage plant at Hood River and a big receiving waiebouse in the val ley to provide against having to dis pose of tbe fruit as soon as it was packed. In this way it was expected if necessary to keep it nntll late in the winter, when the apples from other dlBtriots were practically off tbe market. Tbe sale made Filday, however, In dicates that tbe fruit will move eaily, aud while no prioes will as yet be given out by the managers of the un ion, they state that tbey are blgbly satisfactory. They give as a reason foi not giving out the prioes that tbey have many more cars ot apples to maiket and that until tbey are dis posed of tbey do not consider it good business policy to make actual prioes reoelved for each variety publlo. News of the sale to the Steinbart & Kelly company comes somewhat as a surprise, for although this firm baa been handling Hood River apples for several years, tbey have heretofore bought themfrom the Aims who pur chased tbe whole orop. Mr. Steln bart said, however, that his firm de cided this year that they would buy their Hood River apples direct and that he made a special trip here to get them. In regard to tbe sale be stated : "1 am very much pleased at the uo cess of aiy efforts in obtaining this large purchase of Uood River apples. Our Urm has been handling your fancy apples for several years and tbey have created a market that can not be filled by the fruit from any other apple district. Hood River is tbe pivltol point around wbiob buyers revolve for the finest grade of apple stook that is put upon tbe market anywhere in the world, and we and other firms know it. There Is no section where the apple crop and prioes for it are so carefully watohed as Uood River. "It seems surprising that such a comparatively small orop of apples as are grown here outs such a big figure in the apple world, but it is account ed tor by the fact that dealers every where recognize tbat Uood River ap ples are tbe absoulute standard of excellence iu quality aud paok. As long as Hood River continues to ship the flue quality of apples for which she is noted, there will always be a good market for them at high prices. "No," concluded Mr. Stelnbart, "I can't tell ycu tbe prioes we paid tor the apples, but I don't mind aaying that It was a good figure, highly sat isfactory tolboth tbe anion and our Orm." lu round numbers tbe purohase of Steinhart & Kelly will amount to about 50,000 boxes ot apples, and now that tbe ice is broken, it is expected tbat other sales will soon follow. In addition to tbe sale made to this firm tbe uuion will have 150,000 boxes of apples to dispose ot. This will con stitute tbe biggest shipment ever handled by the union and although arrangements have been made to take caie at it, tbe announcement of tbe big sale allays considerable uneasiness as to tbo status of Western apples in Kstern markets this yeai. This was oausd to some extent by the fact that, imitating Hood River's procedure in the past, several apple growing dis tricts ou tbe ooast have attempted to sell their apples by tbe bid system this year uud have been unsuccessful in doing so. Tbe announcement of tbe sale at Hood River is expected to stimulate apple buying throughout the ooast and to be tbe signal for the trade to close up their contracts for faucy box fruit. Economize Space In Clothes Tresses. "We have equipped each of the clothes presses iu our bouse with long, nine inch screw hooks, suoh as aie used to suspend bird cages from," says a writer in Woman's Home Com panion for September "One hook easily holds six skirt or waist hangers. Not only is the available space greatly increased, but 'finding things' is much easier than in a press where small hooks are used and things hang one over another. How to Get Strong. P. J. Daly, of 1247 W. Congress St., Chicago, tells of a way to become strong He says: "My mother who is old and very feeble, is deriving so much benefit from Electric Bitters that I feci it's my duty to tell those who need a tonic and strengthening medicine about it. In my mother's case a marked gain in flesh has resulted, Insomnia has been over come, and she is steadily growing stronger." Electric Bitters quickly remedy stomach, liver and kidney com plaints.
