Au incident cccurred at Grant Pass
duriog the recent visit cf the excur-
iun train of tlie Spokane Chamber of
Commerce notch bears out tbe cod
teutioo made by tbe Hood River Com
mercial Club latt year tbnt it ia un
wise to allow tbe peddling of inferior
fruit at the trains. Tbe Medford
Tribune says:
"When tbe excursion ittts eutered
tbe oortberu end of tbe Taller, they
were met by a crowd of boa ling boy
wbo gold t lie in apt lea of Itfcrior )UhI
it r nliicb led lliu exciirti uii-ts to
make ull inanner of fi'ii of tbe "nou
derful Neatrwn Pippins." Needl si

lliH booth trected btie bv the Cctn-
uieicial Club bus not beeu elf sutain
lug, and ia kept open only at inter
vsls, wbile liuita m teasou are a bund
ant, but It ia better to fell do fruit
at all than inferior stub that would
be a dauiHKe to Hood liivtr's reputa
tion. Irresponsible vendors of fiuit
cannot Benin to resist tbe temptation
to work ell cuIIh, wormy apples, and
tbe seooud tirade atulf in order to
Diuke no extra pro lit, oaring little
whether tbe community lu which
they live aufferi in consequence or
not. It ia m benefit alike to public
and tbe valley to have fruit on Bale at
all times at (he trains, and every in
ducement ahould be made 10 bare tbe
booth kept open, under tbe control of
thn Commercial Club, but aa tbe
above iuciJeiit shows, it ia better to
bavo do fruit at all unless It ia of the
best.
Medford ia also a sufferer in this
respect, aa the followiug will ihow:
"Ibis reminds us to aay that there
ia not a passenger train goes tbiough
this city that man and boy are not
violating the law by exposing for eat
diseased fruit. Let us inquire whose
duty it ia to atop these violations ot
law? l''or the present we will refer
the mat U-r to the city marshal. Many
good people hare in the past been an
noyed by tbe renders if scaley fruit,
at the trains and not a few have made
determined efforts to have these dis
graceful practiuea stopped but noth
ing has come of It. Hie men who
spend their money to clean their or
chards and aro lighting tbo disease of
their fruit trees protest against mak
lug Grunts Pass a brooding ground
for all manner ot fruit diseases. Tbey
cull upon the sheriff and all othera in
authority to clean up the pests nnd
make tbe city worthy of tbe orohaids
which will with slight help make
Grants Pass tbe center of the best
fruit section in the world. Ibe coin
luorclal club bad tbW subject up for
dlsoussiou lust Tueiday night, but no
uution was taken. The nioial of this
story is that it is a bad way tor

North Vakima is after manufactur
ing plants and is going about it In a
very pructiaal way. In order to assist
in the looutlon of factories and give
material assistance, a big holding
company will be orgnuized, which
will aorutluize nil projects closely,
aud those which have merit will be
assisted. The idea is a good one, nnd
could bo imitated here. Tbe Vakima
Republic says:
"A holding company will be organ
ized to acquire sites for factories aud
lease them to pnisoiM desiring to es
tablish industrial plants in North
Vakima and give other assistance
when needed, by leading business
men in tbe city. A meeting was
held in the Commercial club rooms
this afternoon to take preliminary
steps in the movement and form the
nucleus of an organization. The
prime movers in the tonnatinii of this
holding company are Arthur 11. Hen
ry, A. I! ('linn nnd members of the
Commercial club.
It is the plan of the company tj II lo
articles ot incorporation and procure
sites for factories, which will be leas
ed at reasonable terms to persons de
Hiring to locate witb factories, but are
not lint lie tally ublo to puio'ittse loca
tions outright or pay high lent. The
plans hI.ho contemplate other asnist
aucn in the way of erecting buildings
tor factories'. The holding company
will be secured because it will hare
title to the properties so let until paid
for.
Another object of the company Is to
relieve citizens who wish to assist
factor ih tc locate of taking chances
ou irresi onsihle projects. Tbe com
pauy will look into ad matters per
tHining to prospective locators and
the citizen w ho wishes to help may do
so through the company and his mon
ey will be secure. "
