UNION SHIPPING PEARS, APPLES A FINE CROP OF (iRAVENSTElNS Scarcity of Experienced Packers Already Felt Maaagar Sproat llrges (iood Apple Houses. The Apple Growers Union is now in the midst of the beginning of the fall rush of fruit shipping, nears and early apples being shipped daily, and the present busy scenes about the warehouse indicate only in a small way the great business which will be done there later on. Nearly all the pears and Gravenstein apples which are now being shipped, are being packed at the warehouse of the Union. The force engaged in packing and hauling the fruit now numbers about fifty and will have to be increased as the fruit begins to come in faster. The pears this year are of excel lent quality and six carloads have been shipped during the past ten days. Most of the pears are ltartletts and it is hard to predict just how many more will be shipped since very few of the growers listed thier pears in the OfOp report. Most of the pears, so far, have been shipped into Iowa and Illinois where the poor crops have created an ususnal demand at good prices. The pears are coming to the Union In small lots but a very credit able showing is going to be made by the end of the season which will last for over a week yet. Up to and including last night four cars of fancy Gravenstein apples had been shpiped to Steinhardt ii Kelley, who are paying $1.60 per box f. o. b. Hood River for this variety. This is the highest price which Rood River growers have ever received for their Gravensteins. The crop this year is of unusally line quality and the apples are very smooth. The apples, however, do not show as much color as they generally do. This is not a great Fault with the Gravenstein as it would be with fcome of the red varieties. There will be several more cars of the fancy four-tier Gravensteins sent to New York and the packers will also make up a car or two of "choice" which will be shipped to a less distant market. When asked about the prospect for the sale and price of the fancy Spitzen berg and Newtown crop, Manager ('. H. Sproat, of the Union said there was nothing doing as yet. The direc tor? have been entertaining a number of proposition! and it is expected that something definite may be known con cerning the sale of the Hood River crop in the course of ten days or two weeks. Joseph H. Steinhardt, of the firm of Steinhardt & Kelly, who have bought the Hood River fancy apples during the past two years is expected to he in Hood River next week and it is probable that with his visit there may develope something concerning the sale. Whenever he is asked what is doing, Manager Sproat emphasizes the fact that there will be a great task to handle the apple crop this year and says that all the growers should make full preparations early for handling the record crop. With a scarcity of experienced packers even to handle the Gravensteins the problem may become serious two months from now. Jack Robinson is teaching a force of 16 men packers, who are handling the Gravenstines and is watching them carefully. They are doing well and putting up a nice pack. .Manager Sproat says that 150 packers will be needed to handle the Union output alone. The problem of packers recurs here every year as other districts come in and offer high wages to the exper ienced Hood River packers who will go to other sections and teach the Hood River methods of high class pack. In order to meet the demand and have plenty of packers in the vallev. the Union will have a packing school which will open either on tabor Day the first Monday in September or one wee nwi im uww w urge every grower to attend the school In order that he may learn the exact methods of turning out the very best pack. AiNilhcr verv imnortant point 111 con nection with handling properly tin enormous crop was made by Manager Sproat when he poke of the possibil ity of losiriL' a large portion of the croo ..Her it is safely grown and picked merely because of the lack of iirooer facilities in tihe orchards for storing the apples. "The orchard men, be says, are not making the proper preparations in the way of buildings to care for their apples. Every orchard should have a well arranged closed apple house ,or building to be used as such which will slum 11 certain degree nl eoltl. U Will be impossible to get the crop packed out and shipped early 111 WW season even if everything goes well with nlentv of packers and plenty of cars. I huv. known a freeze to come in Hood River as early as the tenth of Novem ber, which would ruin all fruit which was not proprely protected. The growers should get ready for an emer gency and have a place to store apples if an arely freeze should come. It is possible to put up a building which will answer the (purpose at a comparatively low cost. A plain box building with one layer of lumber 111 the walls lined with paper and having good doors will offer sufficient protec tion through the early part of the winter and if an unusal cold snap should come a small oil stove should nrevont the fruit from freezing. The Hood River valley will produce some wonderful 'apples this year and t,no one great problem is to get them safely in to the hands of the consumer." Astoria Regatta Next Week. Great plans are being made for the coming Astoria Regatta by the city at the mouth of the Columbia. Boat races and aquatic stunts of all sorts will be given the first three (lays of next week. The Admiral and his staff have been named and the Regatta bids fair to he one of the finest ever given. Charles T. Early, of this city, is one of the Commanders on the Admiral s staff. Pretty Moonlight Dance. I R. and A. W. Moller proved themselves excellent bachelor hosts at a small dance which they gave Friday evening at their bungalow home on I the crest of the Hood River Gorge above Tucker's. The young men re ceived their guests on the piazza under the soft lightlof the moon which was j made crimson by the heavy smoke C toads. The combined living and din ing room was cleared for dancing to the music of the phonorgaph. llelicious punch was served on the north porch between the dances. The chaperones for the dance were Mrs. Charles Hall, Mrs. P. S. Davidson and Mrs. J. 11. Heilbronner. CONGRESSIONAL ASPIRANTS HERE Thursday was the day for Congress ional candidates in Hood River, A. W. Latrerty and George S. Shepard, both Portland attorneys, who are running against Congressman W. R. Ellis, of Pendleton, for the Republican nomina tion, being here getting acquainted with the Hood River people and solic iting support. Mr. Laftertv 'is a hustling young man who came from Missouri, where ha has been prosecut ing attorney, to Portland a few years ago and was associated with Hcney in the land Hand cases. lie has arranged to hold a meeting here Wednesday night at the court house and has en gaged the band to give a concert pre ceding his speech. Mr. I.afferty is anxious to meet the other candidates in joint debate and he met Mr. Shep ard here on Thursday, the latter agree ing to appear here and speak if Judge Ellis could be prevailed upon to take the platform also. It is not thought that Congressman Ellis will come to Hood River for the meeting so it is probable that Mr. Latrerty will speak alone. He is making a very active canvass of the Second district and is making the race as a progressive Re publican opposed to the stand-pat ele ment of the party. He also advocates the return to Oregon of money re ceived by the government for public lands sold in this state, lie is also against the assembly. Mr. Shepard came to Hood Kiver on the morning local from Portland just as Mr. Lafferty was leaving town so that the two candidates were not in the same town very long. Mr. Shep ard is well known to many people here as this is the third time he has made the race for the nomination against lodge Ellis. He is a strong advocate of waterway improvement and is standing for deep water from Portland to the ocean. W00DW0RTH OUT FOR COUNTY JUDGE G. 1). Woodworth has announced himself as a candidate for the Repub lican nomination for the office of county judge and has tiled his declara tion with the county clerk. Mr. Wood worth will oppose Newton l lark, who was nominated by the assembly for the office. He has considerable property interest in Hood River and in various parts of the valley, being heavily in terested in the upper valley section. Mr. Woodworth has had much experi ence in road building and his support ers are urging Inm as a tit candidate for the offioe of county judge because of his ahiJity to construct highways, which is one of the most important matters which comes to the attention of the county court. There will prob ably be much road building in Hood River county during the coming two years. Van Dellen-lluggins.

CAMPAIGN FGK FAIR BUILDING CORPORATION FILES ITS ARTICLES Stork Amounting to More than $10,000 lias Been Subscribed for Permanent Fruit Fair Exhibit Building. During the past week new interest has been taken in the project of erect ing a permanent building to be used for the Hood River Apple Fair and committees in charge of the canvass of the town and valley for stock sub scriptions to finance the building re port that 110,600 has been subscribed. The commitees are still at work and they hope to secure $15,000 of the $20, 000 capitalization of the corporation. Articles of incorporation have been filed and the stockholders will be called together for an incorporation meeting the middle of next week to decide very important matters in con nection with the next move which will be made by the organization. Sinee there has been such an extensive sub scription of the stock an effort will be made to get plans made and if it is possible get the permanent building under cover in time this fall to have It ready for the Apple Fair, which prom ises to be the largest exhibition which Hood River has ever held. It will require quick and concerted action on the part of the membera of the new corporation to decide the loca tion, kind of building, get the plans in shape and the building under roof before the rains start. A board of trustees will be elected at the meeting to be held next week and it is possible that the site for the new building will be selected at that time, A majority vote of the stock will govern the loca tion and general plans for the building. There have been a number of sites and building plans talked of in connec tion with the fruit fair building and just what kind of a building and where to put it will be up to the stockholders to decide. The plan which has been talked of recently is one which haa been outlined by the committee in charge of the affairs of the fruit fair association, the members of which re cently bought two lots 011 Front and State street with a view to using the site for a building. The two lots are each UK) by 60 feet and they form an L shaped area with 69 feet on Front street and 160 on Oak street. The corner lot contains a residence at present occupid by Murray Kay and it is the idea put forward by the sup porters of this location that a brick building, two stones, HO by 100 feet front!) g on Slide next to the garage which was burned a few months ago should be erected to be used by the fair, Th association could take over the whole property and get some revenue from the residence. In a year or ao when the fair would outgrow the space afforded by the proposed building it is said that an addition could be built on the corner lot giving additional space for exhibition pur poses. It has been urged by a number of citizens that the fair should erect a building more on the plan of a cheap auditorium which could he used for all sorts of large gatherings and exhibi tions and which would accommodate an immense crowd. The plan suggested is not to erect such a substantial bu'ld ing 111 the center of the city, but to go beyond the tire limits and put up a large frame structure which would ac commodate the fair for several years while it is growing each year with the great development of the valley. The building could be erected at a much less cost than a brick structure and owing to its large area would accom modate much larger exhibitions on a single level. Supporters of this scheme would like to see a half block or at least a quarter block used for it. The ground outside the fire limits would not be so expensive and the whole thing could be financed with leas money than it will take for a substan tial brick building. There have been several other loca tions suggested besides the one owned by the fair committee. Among the sites which are looked upon as desir able and which it is said could be secured are part of the E. L. Smith block bounded by Dak, State, l'tlth and Sixth streets and the half block owned by Sehaffner & Adams on Cas cade, Fifth and Columbia streets. These two locations are both out of the lire limits of the city and would be Suitable for the erection of a building of the larger type while a part of the block bounded by fourth, tJak, firth and Cascade streets has been sug gested for a building of more expen sive brick construction. IN LUCK TO WED HOOD RIVER MAN B. W. Hreedlove, of White Salmon, was injured Monday while felling trees and as there have been a series of injuries to members of the family he considers that they are in naro iuck except for one piece of good luck to the house of Hreedlove, which oc curred when a daughter married a Hood River man, according to the following dipsatch from White Salmon to the Oregonian : "While felling trees Monday, B. W. Hreedlove was struck in the face by a heavy limb which severed one of the eyelids, but left the eyesight unim paired. Hreedlove received several othre severe gashes In the face. "Six weeks ago, Mr. Breedlove's son, Canary, split a knee with an ax. "Scarcely had the lad recovered when he dropped an ax, severing three toes. Another of the children sprained an ankle. "Mr. Breedlove says the chapter of accidents has one bright spot, the recent marriage of a daughter to a Hood River man." The piece of good luck referred to by Mr. Hreedlove was the recent marriage of his daughter, Miss Mae Hreedlove, to Ernest A. Kincaid, freight agent for the O. R. & N. here. Mr. Kincaid feels that he was equally lucky to get a White Salmon girl. A Japanese laborer on the west side stood too near a blast he was setting off Tuesday, and received an injury to his eye. The Oriental only has one good eye and it was said at the Cot tage Hospital where he was taken that his sight would not be impaired.
