WHAT HOOD RIVER NEEDS TO BE BIG CITY Communication From Kae & llntffold. Editor Glacier Wo note in your is sue of November 17, an editorial com ment, headed "Independent Shippers" which closes with an excerpt of an article credited to the New York Fruit & Produce News. The article appear ing in the Produce News originally was untrue and libelous, and the nec essary steps have been taken on the matter. We have pending against the editor of this paper an action for dam ages, which will come up in due course. In writing this article, you evidently were basing your facts on the article appearing in the Fruit & Produce News under date of November 5, which, as above stated, was untrue and malici ously inspired by interested parties, to our mind for no other purpose than I to prepare the growers who are shipping other than independently, for sales of their consigned goods, and shift the repsonsibility for low prices oureeeivers of independent consigments. It is true that there have been a good many car loads of apples sold at public sale, but these were from sections other the Hood River, and while they undoubtedly had depressing effect on the market, yet there have been no Hood River goods sold by auction to date. We, as re ceivers of the bulk of independent con signments from Hood River, can vouch for this. As for the sales that we have made of consigned goods from Hood River, we are pleased to report that they havo been satisfactory to thoso interested, and refer you to them in the substantiation of our statement. We further venture to state that our F. 0. B. net prices Hood River to our clients exceeded that of the Union year after year, and are fully confident that they will do so again this year. Wo think, however, it would be the bettor plan to await the results at the close of the season, and then compare the net prices F. 0. B. Hood River for the Union and the Independent shipments tto New York and allow the net results to speak for themselves, and then comment freely. Yours for fair play, Rac & Hatfield.

The mother was also burned in rescuing the child. Dr. Woods was called and admininstered relief to the sufferers. M. E. Rogers. Lettuce at Greenhouse on Heights. Phone 28-1 M. G. H. Hoyt, a successful jeal estate operator from Chicago, spent a few day in Hood River recently as the guest of J. H. Heilbronner. Mr. Hoyt has had twenty years' experience in the real estate business, paying particular attention to townsite propo sitions and farming in the central states. In speaking of Hood River Mr. Hoyt waxed very enthusiastic about the possibilities. "1 have spent several weeks on this trip. My principal ob ject has been to size up the great development work throughout the Paci fic Northwest. 1 have always been more or less interested in farming and fruit irrowine. but the development of the apple industry in the Northwest states has been a great surprise to me. Hood River, to my notion, is more attractive than any of the other dis tricts that I have seen. What surpris ed me most is the lack of interest taken in the development of your town. My first impression of your town was a village oi aooui iauu in habitants. After seeing the develop ment in all sections of your valley and considering the logical location of your town as the permanent outlet for vour business. I can see no reason why you should not have a thriving nine cuy oi iu,uw inuuuiiaiius wiuhh five years. What you need here most is a monthly payroll that will employ the surplus help needed in the orchard during tho fruit season. A cannery and fruit dryer would be an economic move for the town and valley. It would encourage the development of new crops that are little thought of at the present time. Even though your farmers only made, a small profit on products sold to the cannery, it would give them an outlet for over ripe fruit and provide a safe-guard against large losses on crops that must be handled quickly. Your Hood River cider is finding a good market every where because the consuming public find it to be the best cider made. Why can't you do the same with the Hood River canned peaches or strawberries? If you will make quality the stand ard the same as you have done with your apples, the Hood River label on everything will command attention." PINE GROVE The Ladies' Aid will meet for work at the home of the vice-president, Mrs. J. L. Davis, Friday afternoon of this week Rev. Crenshaw, our pastor, occupied the pulpit Sunday morning, preaching at Ode!) in the evening. Mrs. Mildred Sweetland was a visitor in Salem last week, returning home Friday accompanied by Dr. Sweetland and his friend. A. I, Mason is attending the Horti cultural meeting in Portland this week. The Thanksgiving exercises at school Wednesday afternoon of last week were excellent. There were many visitors present. Much credit is due tho teachers for their efforts in mak ing them so succesful. The reading by Mrs. Morrison Satur day evening at Grange Hall was very line. Those who did not hear her missed a rare treat. DUKES VALLEY. Among those who attended the apple fair at Hood River Saturday were L. E. Roberts, 1'aul Hansen and family and J. W. Scott and family. B. Henderson and Kenneth McKay returned from Portland, Saturday, where they spent Thanksgiving.

But I did not fear for "The goods, they were there." I see nods of approval from each judge so wise, Then tho electric word, "Winner," soared up to the skies. I hear joyful words in your valley to day, "We'jhave captured the sweepstakes, and here they will stay." Our care, thought, and patience and unexcelled soil Have made pleasure and profit out of wearisome toil, Our apples, the winners, with color so bright. The sweepstakes have landed , we're happy tonight!" Your apples are King so treasure thine art, They will stand for aye in the World's greatest mart.
