CLUB BANQUET
ENJOYED BY 250
EXCELLENT DINNER AND SPEECHES
Commercial Clnb Celebrates with the
Most Successful Catherine
la Its History.
I he tlfth anuual banquet of the
Heod River Uomnieroial Club held
tueaday even log In the Odd fellows'
bull proved to be the most successful
gathering of tbe tort which was ever
held In Hood I, net and 2T0 diner,
practically evety one of them being a
member, gathered around tbe festive
board to enjoy an excellent feast to
be followed by a flow of wit aud
wisdom. There were a number ut
distinguished visitors, several of
whom responded to toasts uud the
atfair was highly enjoyed by ihe olub
man.
I lie banqueter began gathering at
the opera bouse shortly after eight
o clock and an hour later when the
march whs atarted to tbe bauquet
room, there was a crowd which pro
mltad to teat the capacity of the
ball. A pleating tight greeted the
guest when they reached tbe hall
winch wa nandtomely decorated for
tbe oooaslon and strung with red and
green eleotrio light, lhere were
many plantt used in tbe decoration
of tbe room aud lrwlu Parklnt was
retpantible tor tbe artitito arrange
ment. Newman's orchestra played a
lively maroh a the d inert oonie Into
tbe ball and oontluued to play a
select ion of popular aut throughout
tbe evening.
A most excellent dinner was seired
by the ladiet of the Kplnoopal oburob
and tbe menu follows : Oyster oook-
tall, olives, salted almonds, oytter
soup, potato salad, shrimp salad,
cold lonst chicken, cold roast pork,
oelery, cranberry sauce, piokles,
Saratoga oblp, Swiaa cheese, escalop
ed cotatoea, Hood Hiver apples,
oranges, ioe cream molds, assorted
oaket, Mcoba, oigart and olgarettes.
following tbe dinner, Charles I.
Kaily, tbe retiring piesideut of tbe
olub, took charge of atfaiis at toast
matter aud called upon tbe various
speaker. By way of introduction,
Mr. Kariy outlined in a brief way the
woik wbicb had been done by tbe
olub during tbe past year aud tbe
greater work whlob would surely be
done in tbe future.
The first speaker was .ludge Lionel
U. Vebster, of Poitlaud, wno re
sponded to tbe eubjeot, " The future
of Oregon. " After expressing to tbe
club bit pleasure ut being present
and tbe regiett of Or. Audiew 0.
Smith, who was unable to leave Port
land aud attend tbe banquet, Judge
Webster in an eloquent way spoke of
tbe great future of .tbis state which It
now only in its infancy. Judge
Webster eoipbaslzed tbe fact Hint the
future of the atate was really tbe
futuie of its individuals aud whatever
good the individual did for himself,
would be fo the ttate !as well. Ore-
son hat every tort of climate and
every tort of toil and it it especially
adapted to email boidingt. Judge
Webttar't idea la that Jus ive the
opportunity in Oiegon and wa can
make of the ttata what we will. The
Judge it at the bead of tbe Uood
Roads movement in tbe ttate of Ore
gon and of oourte be tlnitbed up his
remarks with a word about good high
ways. He said that tbe better tbe
soli, tbe worse the road aud there
fore Oregon bad muob to do iu tbe
way of building good loads. He said
that we must bave roads for our
autos, carriages ami w igout while we
are waiting for the Hying macbiuet.
in closing Judge Webster urged the
citizens to uphold tbe officers of
tbe county and atate iu their good
works and give tbeu a small share
of tbe praise which was due them
during life instead of waiting until
tbe man was dead and a writing a
lying epitaph, wbioh made him out
tetter than be really wat.
The second speaker on tbe toast
Hit was J. C. Mclnett, of Wbife
Salmon, who responded for "Our
fitter Valley." The gentleman from
across tbe river made a tpeecb tparkl
lug with wit and be proved bit
ability to tell funny ttortea. He
-poke of the similar conditions ex
isting In the two valleys lyiug be
tween Mt. Adams and Mt. Hood.
Mr. Mclnest paid a tribute to the
men who first planted tbe apple tree
In tbis seotion and pioved that their
experiment biougbt forth the finest
apples iu the world. The excellent
results and greut success which bave
attended tbe efforts of applo growers
in this section were attributed by
Mr. Mclnes to the wonderful en
thusiasm which Is typicm ot tbe
mower He sooke in closing of tbe
debt ot gratitude which trie vaney
across tbe river owed to tbe Hood
Kiver valley tot tbe excellent letsou
in raising apples.
Tbe next speaker was Judge W. L.
liradsbaw. of The Dalles, whose tub-
jeot wat "Unity ot Action." He
spoke of the necessity ot united
action in order to bilng to a success
ful finish any undertaking In a oom
UlUnity. I hern should be united
sotlon in county alfalra with especial
reference to securing good loads and
It tbould be done In municipal
atlalrs and in school atlaira. lie
spoke of the great number of people
who are coming Into tbe Northwest
In the next few years and he said that
it was up to tbe people ot all the
different sections to oo operate in
location the settler where he will be
best satistlkd, hut above all to keep
hi in in tbe noitbwest.
Tbe fundamental thing in the work
it to tell the tiuth and to deal only
in faott. People must not be brought
here on lalse pretenses. Judge Biad
sbaw staled the benefit of.lbis policy
was evident in tbe great reputation
Hood River had gained all over tbe
world, because tbe apples sent out
from here were always just as thev
were represented.
A. A. Jayoe followed Judge lirad
shawand spoke on "The Modern Par
met " He told bow. in the days of
bit boyhood, tbe farmer of old plant
ed anJ left Uod to give tbe increase
and ot tbe neat difference be noted
to tbe agricultural metbodt when he
reoeutly made a trip to the east where
modern machinery was in use and tbe
farmen were riding about In auto..
Tbe old farmer' object was to make a
living. He never expected to oome
out wltb money ahead. He spoke of
tbe present tendenoy of university
men to take up farming which is to
well illustrated here iu Hood River
where over 1(H) of the 126 members of
tbe Uuiveisity Club are apple grow
ers.
In tbe absenoe of Dr. A. C. Smith,
president of tbe Oregon (Sood Roads
Association, H. li. Chapmun, of Poit
laud, spoke on tbe subjeot ot "Hood
Roads. He urged the necessity of
modern highways aud struck a key
note In saying that the land In front
of a man's farm was the most valuable
land be owned if It bad a good road
on it. Multnomah couuty, which has
tbe beet developed highways in tbe
state is now willing through the new
organization to share with tbe other
counties of Oiegon the benebts of ber
expei ience iu building highways.
Rev. J. u. late, lespondiug to tbe
sentiment, "Cod's Country", was the
last speaker on the program and,
opening bis remaiKs Iu a humorous
fssblon, he held bis bearers through
an excellent address. He said that
Hod's Couutry must contain Hod's
people, aud that In all hit travels, be
had uovet seen a place where there
was a belter exhibitiou of Hod's men
and Hi beauty than In Hood River
valley. The honest pack of apples not
ouly gives ut a good reputation iu the
world, but it sett an excellent exam
ple to tbe generation wbioh is growing
up about ut. Uod't Mau It not nec
essarily the man who goes to church
and mumbles prayert, but he Is tbe
man who makes it easier for hi fel
low man to be good. He said that sit
uated here iu this beautiful valley tbe
people of Hood River should gather
up tbe beauty and fertility of the
land aud reflect it In their lives. In
that way, he said in closing, Hood
River can put as good a product on
the man market as it can on tbe apple
market.
At tbe close of the regulai toast list
roast master Haily called on Prank A.
Oram, who started in to toast the new
otllcers ot tbe club. Iietore be bad
said many words he broke forth in
song and, although tbe ditty lotet
muob whou not noouipauied ly tbe
melody to which Mr. Cram adapted it
the verses are printed hero.
Here's to the boatd,

All live wiles, each
And every one of them.

Bringing up the rear,
He's a lour time winner
So there 't nothing there to fear.
When it comet to new members
He bat 'em beat a mile.
So we'll set it at boil.
That will bold him for awhile.
So give tbiee cbeeis

A set or ring billed boosters
Kvery one of them.
Needless to .say Mi. Ciam's vocal
efforts won much applause.
(leorge B. Wilbur and Paul Hub
bard favored the dineis with excel-
lent baritone solos, which were highly
enjoyed.
Besides the out-of-town speakers
there were a uumter of other guests
from a distance wbo favored the club
with their presence. Among tbem
were: Dr. Unman, president ot Will
amette Univertity, Dr. H L. Honse,
f Spokane, A. P. Batebam, J. K. Mo
Oregor and 11. ti. Kibhee, nf Mosler,
and David h'.eclei, of Ogden, Utah
It wat expected by the committee to
hear tome impromptu remarks from
thete gentlemen, bb well s a number
of local cil.iens but as It was nearly
two o'clook when the regular program
was finished tbe crowd dismissed
itself after giving three rousing cheers
for the officers as suggested In Mr.
Cram's song.
SPOKANE WANTS TO

In order to keep the national apple

to tbe terms or wnion prize winners

Cbioago without cost to tbe dis
trict trom whlcn tney oome, aim

Secretary Ren 11. Rice of tbe Spo
kane National Apple Show in a leuer
to the Commercial club. He asks the
groweis In (iHiernnne as soon an pun-
sible whether they are lavoranie io
the plan.
According to tbe letter irom .vir.
Rice, tbe plan will be to hold the
regular show In Spokane after which
the ptlze winnar will be taken to
Chicago and exhibited for eight days
iu the t irst Regiment Armory of that
city, lhey (Inure oo taking back

01 : GONIANS SHOW
IP LAFEAN BILL
EASTERNER FORCED TO OWN AIM
Joe Wilson Tells of Meeting of .North
western Men with Committee
on Agrlmltnre.
In tbe hearing before the house
Committee on Agriculture iu Wash
ington Friday, when Joseph A. Wil.
son, or this city, aud other icpreseu-
tstlves of tbe Northwestern apple
growers appeared to set forth tbe oli
jeotlons of this section to tbe Hainan
apple package bill which Is now beforo
Congress, a New York man wat foiced
to acknowledge in the hearing that the
object of the measure was to drive the
western apples out of the market.
Besides gaining tbis acknowledg
ment wbiob should prove a stumbling
blook to the supporters of tbe bill,
the Oregou representatives showed
that the box uted in tbe Northwest
contained more btan a butbel aud
that when the Colorado "jumble"
pack wat used tbe lid could not be
put on tbe box, thus demonstrating
thai the Oregon pack will run more
apples than the Colorado style in a
larger box. Following it a letter
written by Mr. Wilson to tbe Apple
Growers' Union which explains the
situation :
New Willard Hotel, Washington, D.C.
Maroh 11, 1910,
Apple ( .rowers Union, Hood Hiver.
(ientlemen -Ariived at 10 a. in., to
day, hunted up Hawley's office and
found he was with tbe committee on
Agriculture. His clerk piloted me to
tne scene of battle and wbeu 1 arrived
Whistler wits speaking. Then K. K.
Hake, myself and Newell spoke. I n
fortuuately tbe two boxes of Hood
River apples are uot here, but .Newell
brought two boxes of Lownsdale's aud
they were well packed. Took tbem out
ot box and they tilled half bushel
measure (heaping) twice. I think
this disconcerted the opposition more
than auy one thing. 1 hen we took
the other box and packed It at they
do in Colorado (jumtle pack and we
could not get the cover on. The
apples were too high. We fought,
them coming aud going aud bad de
cidely tbo bost of the disoutsion.
Scott, chairman of the Committee
on Agriculture gave us all potsible
oppoittiuity to picseut our ease. Ho
asked Sohalter, of New Vork, several
pointed questions about the objeots of
tbe proposed bill, and finally got him
to admit that tbe object was to drive
westoru apples out of tbo market.
Hon. W. C, llawley made a splen
did plea for tbt uorfhwest box applet
as gnidnd aud packed at present.
Poiudexter, of Washington, (Con
gressman) was present, there were
men lrom Spokane, Wenatcbee and
some others, nune from California,
Colorado or Idubo.
The Washington people had their
say yesterday. Two bonis later and I
would have missed the last meeting.
Paot is 1 did not got breakfast until 1
o'clock this afternoon.
