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,

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

himself as a candidate for the Repub
lican nomination for the office of

of the county court. There will prob
ably be much road building in Hood

years.

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.
