F. I. Co. Gets No Quorum. Tho regular annual meeting of stockholders of the Farmers' Irrigat ing Co, called off Saturday in the morning in tthe K of P hall, failed to get a quorum and the stockholders nrcsent requested the directors to call a snecinl meeting for the first Satur day in January. It is believed that it may 'bo possible to have a majority of the stock represented at that time, The meeting needed 878 shares for a quorum and but 5(!5 were present. With Captain Short and other officers taking turns at discharging the duties of deckhands, the steamer J. N. Teal arrived from the Big Eddy, on the upper Columbia, considerably late Thursday night. At the other end of the line the 18 deckhands went on strike and were paid off. Without any attempt to fill their positions the officers of the steamer decided to brini her to Portland, which they manage to accomplish Ibv performing all classes of river labor. On her arrival at Portland a new crew was employed for the Teal and she left for the Upper Columbia on Friday morning. When she reached the Big Eddy Wednesday evening her 18 deckhands demanded additional pay for night work. The company was anxious to discharge her cargo that night and get her ready to leave for Portland on the return trip the follow ing morning, but the officers refused an extra day's pay, as the steamer carried two crews of deckhands and it was held that the night shift was supposed to work, without receiving additional wages. Finally the 18 were paid trie wages due them and discharged. Then the officers stripped their coats the began to discharge the freight. Alter lauor- mcr al niirht they got the Bteamer in shflne to leave for the Rose City, un the trio down tney were oungeu to continue to look after the decicnano work and they were pretty well fagged out. when the passage was completed. But it is announced that the) had the satisfaction of knowing that the 18 men who left the boat at the Big Kddv had to walk to The Dalles, the nearest town, some six miles down the river from where they had gone ashore. Durinor the last two or three months the owners of the river lines have been kept pretty busily employed in lookiner up men to fill the vacancies h thev occur on the boats. There scarcely a steamer running out of I Portland that has not been delayed repi olfu dertake the task of navigating her and, at the same time, loading and dis charging the freight as a side issue. It has not been given out as to whether the officers will be allowed extra pay for the deckhand work they performed or not.- Portland Telegram. SPITZENBURGS WIN IN BIG CLUB CONTEST Good Land Worth the Money. The'sale of a twenty-acre orchard at Hood River for $24,000 and a 30 acre orchard this week would indicate that one prominent branch of the real estate business in this state was mak ing a pood start on the Fall move ments. Perhaps the best feature of these prices lies in the fact that the orchards will return handsome divi dends on the prices paid. So long as buyers from all parts of the world come to Oregon for fruit and continue to pay record prices for it in carload and trainloads lots, there will be no decline from present prices. Mean while there has been a healthy advance all other lands in this favored region. There is room ior otner au vances before the figures will be as high proportionate to the returns as they are in less favored sections of the country. Oregonian Editorial. W. F.

Smith, were the victors in the Commercial Club contest for new members which closed Friday, September 30, getting 110 new members for the Club to 40 members secured by the Newtowns. The con test was a success in every respect, netting 150 new members to the club, the memberhip of which is now very near the 500 mark, since there were already over 300 members at the open- ine of the contest. The members of both teams worked very hard in their efforts to gain new boosters, with ex cellent results. Although the Spitzenburgs seemed to outclass their rivals the Newtowns under their captain, George R. Wilbur, were very active and forced the win ners to get a very large membership to be sure of carrying off the honors. Captain Ernest C. Smith made a very active personal campaign and had 53 new members to his credit, which alone was enough to win for his side. Charles L. Wheeler had the highest personal score of.anyofthe privates of cither armv. adding eight names to the Spiteznburg score. J. he memoers of the winning division were : brnest C. Smith, E. H.

Fuchs, a rancher near Sum mit, was fined $10 Friday by Justice Buck for breaking down a fence along the right of way of the Mt. Hood rail mad in order to reach his home. The case was the result of a controversy of several months between the railroad and the settlers on the hill south west of Summit. When the railroad was built several years ago the old road to that locality was partly destroyed and the settlers had outlet over the land now owned by Ed. H. Wheeler. Mr. Wheeler improved his tract this sum mer and fenced it up and the settlers petitioned to have the old road chang ed, asking for a crossing over the rail road. The viewers granted it all but the crossing over the railroad and three weeks ago the railroad fenced up its right of way, thus allowing Mr. Fuchs and four other ranchers in that section no- means of egress and ingress. Fuchs tore away the fence and was fined for doing it, so he and his niegh bors are either "on the outside lookin in or the inside lookin' out" but they cannot change sides. Why Not In Hood River? The study of horticulture introduced into the Medford High School this year is proving an important addition. The class thus far has been studying the planting and pruning of trees. S. B. Hall, a graduate of Oregon Argicultural College, is in charge of the class, has taken his pupils on several jaunts through the orchards and given them practical illustrations. Next week the tree culture class will take up the study of varieties of apples. An attempt will be made to spend much time in the orchards sur rounding Medford. George Rae, of Rae & Hatfield, commission fruit handlers of New York, was here Saturday. Reference: Over 2,000 fitted in Hood River.U.S. A.
