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.
Twenty one entries were received
for competition at the Third Spokane
National Apple Show in the carload
classes on Winseap, Jonathan, Spitzen
burg, Mcintosh Red, Rome Beauty,
Yellow Newtown, Wagener and mixed
cars of standard winter varieties.

and a silver medal banner to seconds.
All entries are eligible in the sweep
stakes competition for a prize of
$1,000 and the world's championship.
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.

REALTY : ALERS
TO ORGANIZE
HIGHER STANDARDS TO RESULT
Group of Valley Good Boosters Will
Ask Advice from Portland
Realty Board.
About 20 real estatejdealers of Hood
River met Tuesday evening in the
Commercial Club rooms Jand took the
first steps toward the organization of a
Realty Board in this city. The move
ment is one which has been talked of
at different times but now the definite
steps have hecnl taken and it is ex
pected that it will enable the various
persons who do a regular real estate
business to have a much better under
standing with one another and to do
business along lines which will greatly
aid in the proper development of the
town and valley.
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. A Realty
Board organized along the general
lines followed in other cities was dis
cussed and the secretary was instruct
ed to communicate with Secretary
James O. Rountree, of the Portland
Really Board, inviting representatives
of the body in the metropolis to come
here in the near future and assist in
organizing the local board. It is under
stood that ;the Portland board will be
pleased to accept1 this invitation and
the dealers expect to have them as
soon as sonvenient. A committee was
appointed to outline the by-laws and
perpare for the local organization and
they will make a report when the
Portland men come.
Before the close of the meeting a
general discussion of commissions and
co-operation took place. Various sug
gestions and plans were talked over
for the benefit of the committee. At
the close of the meeting all present
signed their names as wishing to be
come charter members and it is under
stood that a number of others will be
secured for the organization before it
is launched.
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.

for Sunilav with the Wabash Indeoen-
dents of Portland and it is expected to
have the new grounds on the Hat below
