The big Commercial Club smoker
Tuesday evening in celebration of the
recent big increase in the membership
of the club during the Newtown and
Spitzenburg contest was a gnat suc
cess. About 309 members of the club
were there for the jolly-up and the
smoke was so thick that a recent
Pittsburg citizen who was present was
perfectly at home. Two kegs of Yel
low Newtown cider were on tap with
plenty of sandwiches and coffee,
There was an extremely pleasant
surprise in store for the local boosters
when they came to the club, to lin.l a
distinguished visitor rrom Australia,
present. Hugh Mackenzie, Minister
of Lands in the Stale of Victoria, was
present, accompanied by Robert Liv
ingstone, a Hood River orchard owner
ana w. n. uackennsle, cousin of the
Australian, of Portland. Minister
Mackenzie is in charge of the work
being done by his government in the

irrigation and is a member of a delega
tion sent around the world to study
irrigation methods.

being employed in scttlimr 1111 the vast
wheat fields of his countrv with
farmers M UCh money had been snent
by the government in irrigation nm-
jects and wonderful inducements are
being offered u settlers, It is the
pa of the minister that a few hun
ed Mttlera from America maybe
lueed to go to Australia, where tha
introduction of the methods of this
country will aid materially in the ad
vancement of agriculture. Minister
Mackenzie had been taken over
m valley in the afternoon and he ex
press d in glowing terms his high
opinion of the valley.
President Charles Hall, of the club,
next called upon Mr. Livingstone, of
Portland, who is well-known to many
Hood River people, being the owner of
considerable piopertj in the valley.
He spoke every interestingly of the
apples he saw In his trip to Scotland
and England this summer, lie said
the finest apples he saw had been
grown right in Scotland, and that on
Inquiry he was told they had been
grown one on me tree 111 a tlower pot
He had read considerably of the pre
sence of Minister Mackenzie in Kng
land at the time or his visit, and had
not thought that he would have the
pleasure ol bringing him to Hood
Kiver.
in answer to cans irom the crowi
tor Kev. J, (,. late, the eloquent lain
ister responded with a few remarks-
which added to the fun of the occas
sion. The next speaker was Mr. W
R. Mackenzie, of Portland, who is in

marked on ttie great improvements in
the way of good roads, which have

Communication, bj Mr. Skinner.
Editor Glacier There seems to he
considerable talk going through town
and valley to the effect that the Com
mercial Club was responsible for the
two meetings recently held in the club
rooms under the auspices of the Ore
gon Home Rule Association. It has
been stated that the Commercial Club
paid for the districting of advertising
matter Concerning these meetings.
Such a statement is absolutely false',
based either on malicious misrepre
sentation or a misunderstanding of
facts.
The Commercial Club is connected in I
noway with any political or nonpol-;
itical party, nor has anv views on 010.
hibition or antiprohibiiion. The As
sembly Hall of the club rooms
is for rent at a stipulated price per
evening to anybody for any purpose as
long as it is legitimate and proper,
when the Oregon Home Rule
Association rents the assembly hall of
the club rooms, the Commercial Club is
in no way responsible for anv feedine
that may come up through people' hav
ing antagonistic views. The Commer
cial Club is an organization with the
whole valley and town to heart, whose
only business in life is the advance
ment of this town and valley. Every
effort should be made by every citizen
of the town and valley to See that the
good name of the Commercial Club is
not drawn into any controversy that
may he ranged in the town, whether
it lie political or the morality of
publications.

"Better Fruit." returned Friday from
i two weeks' trip to the apple sections
if California, talcing in the Watson-
ville Annual Apple Show. In sneaking
of his trip, Mr. Greisen asiel :
"Ibis show had exhibits from all the
different apple Sections Of California,
Watsonville and Sabastopol being the
heaviest contributors. There were
also nice exhibits from Senora, El
Dorado and Santa Cruz. In all there
were about 14, '.(lilt boxes of apples on
exhibit, this being even larger than
last year's Annual Apple show at Spo
kane, Of (these exhibits, 5 or i; ear
loads SCOfed X.r points and above, some
of them from 70 to 8,r points, and a
few as low as til points. Of course,
the' latter should not have appear, d in
the iihow at all. On the whole, the
show was a very creditable one.
"One eif the striking things was the
Feature exhibits. The exhibit win
ning the first prize representeud the
Western Hemisphere made out of ap
ples .With the two oceans, Atlantic and
Pacific, made out of dried apples em a
blue background. At the Panama
Canal the two oceans were took in the
form of two women's faces, in the act
of kissing one another. The second
prize winner was a ship entirely cov
ered With green and elried apples, with
electric lights in the interior showing
it to hi' loadeil with apples. It was
called "First Steamboat With Pacific
Coast Apples to go Through the
Panama Canal." The third prize was
for an exact reproduction of the High
School building the plans for this
being drawn and the skele'on made
entirely by High School students, boys
and girls, and covered with apples,
Among the other exhibits were the
American Plug made out of apples, a
Dutch windmill, a nice' exhibit of
Gravenateina from Sebaatoool eoine
into a null and coming out at the otln r
end In the form of $20 gold pieces
and dropping into a large' size savings
bank.
"Now these exhibits drew people
from all over the countrv. and reallv
treat to the eye and take nwav the
monotony of seeing carloads and car
loads ol packed apples.
"On the first dav. the' National
Bankers' Association, returning from
a meeting at Los Angeles, Stopped
their special train at Watsonville and
looked over the show.
"On Wednesday, San Francisco
Day, train loads of people came
from San Francisco and San Jose, On
Thursday all business closed in Santa
Cruz and practically the whole citv
line to Watsonville.
On Thursday evening an apple box
making contest took place, for which
boys entered. I was one of the
judges for this contest and the hoy
winning the hrst prise made 93 boxes
in one hour. The winner, Mr. Poor,
made !.'( boxes and was announced to
be the world', s champion box nailer.
He will come to the Spokane Apple
Show to defend the title.
"On Priilay evening a packing con-
teat was held for girl and hoy pack
ers. Un Saturday evening there' was
a pie eating competition, d' course the
eaters were- all boys. Their hands
were tied behind their backs and the
pies placed on the table and the boy
who ate his pie first, was declared the
ampion eater. These' different Con
tests brought a irri'iit manv people
very evening who otherwise might
not have come.
"On Sunday, the last day there was
sacred concert and 1 gave a lecture
on Hood Kiver methods id packing
ltd marketing. Various other lec
tures were given by prominent men
in entomology and horticulture during
the week.
On my way hack, I visited Santa
Cruz, San Jose and San Prancisco. It
is wonderful to see how San Prancisco
has been rebuilt."
The marketing of the Hood River
Apple Crop is just row at its height.
This being the greatest year that
MOOd River has ever had the Apple
Growers Union presents a very busy
appearance with its dav anil night
force working in the office ami ship
ping department getting out the
apples.
The amount of the daily Shipments
is governed almost entirely by the'
number of cars which the- railroad
furnishes and for the past several das
the average has been about 16 cars a
lay. The growers are taking advan
tage of the Wonderful weather and are
getting their apples to the Union
warehouse rapidly. Lines of from 20
to 10 wagons are waiting to unload
their apples all day at the warehouse
here, and about half the crop is being
sent from the east side warehouse.
The apples have practically all been
sold except a number of extra cars
which will result because many of the
growers Underestimated their crops.
Just as soon as the' applet are in the
cars here the P. O. li. price is to the
credit of the Apple Growers Union in
the local hanks where the hills of
lading and sight drafts are deposited.
On Tuesday the deposit made repre
senting Sunday 's anil Monday's busi
ness was 164,682.99. This large sum
represented the value of 41 cars of
apples shipped to all parts of the
United Stale's.
The values for the carloads ran
from 1648.40 to 11718.80 and the aver
age value of each car was over 11.900.
"These 41 cars were sent to New
York, Chicago, Boston. Philadelphia,
Pittshurrg, Sulphur Springs, 'lex'.
Long View, Tex., Dennimin, Tex.,
Tyler, Tex., and Dennison, In'. Very
huge shipments are going to Texas
this year and many of the southern
buyers are taking the apples of the
very highest grade.
"All one apples are as geiod as paid
for a our own prices as seion as they
are loaded in the cars here," said
Manager C. H. Sprout, of the Union.
"We deposit the sight drafts with the
