Guy Y. Edwards & Co. Phone 228L Office Oregon Hote HOOD RIVER'S CHANCES GOOD SPITZ CAR MAY GET SWEEPSTAKES Newtowns from Here at Spokane Are the Best and Wenatchee Makes a Strong Race on Spitz. Although the winner of the Sweeps- laKes prize at the National Apple Show will probably not lie known until tomorrow, all the early reports coming here from the Inland Empire met ropolis seem to indicate that Hood Kiver is the favorite with Wenatchee a very close seconQ. C.H. Sproat, who is exhibiting a car load of Spitzenburgs, was in Spokne over Sunday and returning seemed satisfied with the outlook, although he had nothing to say in the way of a prediction. He received several tele grams yesterday stating that his ear had been scored by the judges and that on many of the points the marking was perfect. The judges opened up nine boxes and went through them to find only three imperfect apples in the whole nine. Telegrams from E. li. Sheperd and Jack Robinson indicate a lead for Hood Kiver, but Wenatchee gets credit for a mignty good car of Spitzenburgs. A representative of the Gibson Fruit company wired that the Hood Kiver ears were the best on dis play and he was very anxious to secure them for his company. The reports on the Newtown car o Avery Bros, are tc the effect that it should win surely and its chances for the sweepstakes are only less because of the higher pomological rating which is given Spitzenburgs. The Glacier has received an encour aging letter from Ernest C. Smith, who was the local delegate to the "Live Wire" convention, and who was the Commercial Club representative in arranging the Hood Kiver display. The letter, which was written Tuesday ioiiows: "The placing of the exhibit has taken up our time night and day. We arrived Thursday six hours late. Without getting rooms we went directly to the show building and with in lft minutes had our Newtown boxes going up. We touiul the Spitz car about two thirds in place and were agreeably surprised to find that the show people had our cars unloaded for us and in good shape in front of our racks. The management has been very obliging and used us right. "The two Hood Kiver cars face each other with a lane between. All others have unsightly posts in front with chicken wire stretched long to keep the he'd back. 1 ho posts were placed by the management. We waited until the last moment and cut them off. We waited because every thing Hood Kiver started has been copied by others. We cut the posts off so that one standing at the end of the lane or walking between can get an unob structed view of the whole car. "Our decorations are simple and in comparison with others, neat. We have less of the fuss and feathers. The four sides of each car are fringed with Oregon grape, over white, studded with 4 candle power electric globes one foot apart. The lights are on night and day and look line. We have the only electricity on the ground. In the middle and at the top we have electric Jsigns for each car, viz., Hood River Spitzenburgs and Hood River Newtowns. Roy Dean is here in charge of the electrical work. At either end of the Spitz car we have cloth signs: El Dorado Orchard, C. H. Sproat, grower, Hood River. On each end of the Newtown car : Eg germont Orchards, Avery Rros., growers, Hood River. "The standings are hard to fix or to guess when one is interested. We try to he conservative and give other dis tricts the benefit of every doubt. Still we can't get away from the idea that there is anything to it but Hood River. There is absolutely no question about our having the best car of Newtowns. There is kone car of Spit, from the Wenatchee Valley that is tine and pro bably close to ours. Others are not in the race. It seems to us thut the Wenatchee car is not as even in color as ours and the color not as good. Uur apples are smaller, of a better com mercial size and more even in shape and size. Hut the JWenatche car is beautiful and splendidly packed. "In the 10 box Spitz contest our Mr. Hakel has a big lead. His 10 boxes of Newtowns are little large, hut there is only one other that has a chance to beat him. "Fellows, are feeling line and con fident. All worked like patriots. Weather is fine with the air crisp and almost cold. Largo crowds all the time. "Live Wire" convention big and fine, especially the banquet. We marched through the streets with hand and banners to the building for formal opening. Roy Dean, William Metcalf and G. R. Castner returned yesterday from Spokane, and while they felt that Hood River would carry home the big prizes they realized that worthy competitors will have to be beaten. The Oregon ian dispatch from Spokane yesterday said : "The Oregonian's correspondent heard a number of favorable comments of two carloads from Oregon, the Hood River exhibit of Newtown 1'ip pins being given the palm by the lay men." Great interest is manifested in the apple packing school conducted daily in the armor, where racks and tables have been provided for 75 students. A. I. Bateham, chief judge of packs at the show, and J. M. Carroll, of Mosier, have charge. They are teaching the diagonal and square packs and the various methods of grading.

The Chicago Association of Commerce will award its $500 trophy to the win ner of the highest score on pack and the International Apple Shippers' As sociation will present a magnificent silver cup to the best commercial carload. The carload entries from Hood River were accorded the honor of the first exhibits in that class to be put into place. North Yakima has the second choice. Four cars of its apples have been in cold storage in Spokane for two weeks. At the first Spokane show there were eight carload entries and last year 13 cars contested for the sweep stakes prize. In addition to the 21 carload entries at least 11 more cars of apples are being exhibited at the show, bringing the total to 32 cars. With 630 boxes to the car that makes a total of 20,1(50 boxes, or 2,016,000 apples for exhibition purposes. COMMERCIAL CLUB DISCUSSES WORK The monthly meeting of the Com mercial Club Monday evening was well attended and the "live wires" of the city discussed a number of matters of interest in boosting for the town and valley. In the absence of Secre tary J. C. Skinner in the east, E. H. Hartwig acted as secretary and Presi dent Charles Hall presided. Secretary Skinner was appointed to represent Hood River at the Land Show in Chicago next week. Manager C. H. Sproat. of the Apple Growers Union, who has a carload of Spitzenburgs from his orchard here entered for the Sweepstakes prize in the Spokane Annie Show this week, spoke briefly of his visit to Spokane Sunday and said that the two cars from Hood River were making an ex cellent showing. He described to the club the general line-up at Spokane and was of the opinion that this valley was creating a good impression at the Show. A plan was launched which will re sult in a carload of enthusiastic Hood River boosters going to Spokane to night and spending Friday at the Apple Show demonstrating that Hood Kiver is glad to back up its exhioiu with its presence. 1 he Oregon Development League will meet in Salem the last three days of this month and Hood River will send a strong delegation to the meet ing. lhe directors of the Club have called upon the subscribers to the publicity fund to pay a 20 per cent installment and they are anxious to get this money by November 25 to meet heavy current expense in con nection with the many exhibits which are being made over the country. They have only called for 30 per cent up to this time and if they have made the regular monthly calls there would have been 70 per cent called by this time. Every subscriber should pay promptly on the call in order that tl.e Club may not be embarrassed. LOCAL APPLE FAIR OPENS WEDNESDAY The Hood River Apple Fair opens next Wednesday morning in a tempor ary building which is being rapidly erected on the lot belonging to the fair association opposite the Hotel Oregon and it bids fair to be the best show ever held in Hood River although this community is making more ex hibits in various parts of the country than have ever before been attempted by any apple district in the Nurth west. The many fine prizes will arrive here this week and will be placed on exhibition in the jewelry stores. The building is going up rapidly and by the first of the week it will be ready to receive the exhibits which will be put in place Monday and Tuesday. Dr. H. E. Van Deman, leading American pomologist, who is this week in Spokane as the chief judge at the National Apple Show there, will pro bably be here next week to act as judge for the local display. Judge Van Deman came to the Hood River show last year and although there is a great call for his time at all the big expositions, he is glad to come to Hood River. He met Chris Grciscn nt Vancouver and said he would be glad to come here during the fair, which was in an open week between the Spokane and Portland Apple Shows. Hood River representatives in SMikane this week were to make arrangements to bring the famous expert here for the fair. HOOD RIVER APPLES IN STATE'S SHOWING A bunch of press notes were sent out last week by the Portland Commercial (Mub entitled "Oregon's Great Show ing."

The meeting selected J. Adrian Epping to act as chairman and Louis Henderson as secretary. They kindly invited the Glacier representative to listen to their deliberations. All the renl estate dealers present agreed that if certain general rules of practice could be established and lived up to there would be a mutual advan tage to every one of them.

TEAM LOSESlsUT PLAY IS liETlER The Hood River foot bull team show ed much improvement Sunday in the game with St. James College over the demonstrator of ""football they had given two weeks previous and they managed to score on their opponents. The team has been reorganized and under the leadership of Howard Hartley is putting up a fast game. The locals were much lighter Sunday than in the previous game but they were correspondingly faster and they showed a little more practice. The game was played at the grounds on the Heights and the Vancouver Irfds, many of whom were not regular members of the college eleven, got away for three touch downs and 17 points in the first quarter of play. Our boys were also busy an t at the end of the first period there were six points to Hood River's credit. The game in the last three periods was a nip and tuck contest and although the visitors had about ten pounds more beef to the man the Hood Kiver boys successfully defended their goal against further scores making the final score 17 to 6. The gains of the Van couver boys were made mostly by forward passes and trick plays, while the locals were successful in making yards on cross tackle bucks. The Hood Rivr line-up was: Cobb, center; Grant, left guard; Gar rabrant, Price, right guard ; Sexton, right tackle; Kent, left tackle; Moe, right end; Hartley, Cant., left end: J.ICoshow, Bell, quarter back; Clark, left half; II. Coshow, right half; Reed. full back.
