HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1911 1 pg?l melmp sprayer e&in rower Light-Durable-Economica Among' the many points of superiority of our Pumps we mention the following: 1 I m . i si i 1. The all-steel compact platform instead of the clumsy and heavy wood structure. 2. Compactness of the engine and pump. The pump is connected to the engine with a machine cut gear instead of the old-fashioned and long ago discarded belt. 3. The tanks are made of the best grade of red wood with an iron well for underneath suction, preventing air-lock, increasing the efficiency of the pump fully 30 per cent. It is so constructed that it cannot fall down when dried out. 4. A direct driven, improved rotary agitator. 7 5. Ball relief valve keeping pressure safe and uniform. 6. Low-down construction, making it easy to handle in any orchard. Many other important and exclusive features of our pump that cannot be ap preciated until you see our outfit, which will be on display at the corner of 3rd and State streets in the warehouse of the Hood River Soray Manufacturing Com- Ipany. We are here to stay and every machine sold will have our absolute guar antee to do what is claimed for it. Every Outfit Fully Guaranteed.

Niagara at 31 is far superior to all the others, several of which run as high ai 32 and 33 Beaume test. Bear in mind that we do not use either salt or caustic soda to raise our Beaume test.

ST AT EN HAS JUST Received a Full L,ine of Guernsey Earthenware Call and get Prices. NORTHWEST APPLES American apples are much appreciat ed in Germany and are brought by all classes of people. The most formid able competitor of the American fruit in the German market is the apple that comes from the Austrian Tyrol, one which enjoys a well deserved and long standing reputation for quality and flavor. There is no doubt, however, that the sale of American apples in this country could be greatly extended if shippers in the United States would be more diligent in the selection and packing of fruit intended for this market. In the opinion of German fruit deal ers more favorable prices could be obtained for the American fruit if it were more carefully graded, better selected and packed in cases like the apples imported from the Tyrol. When packed in this manner the fruit would stand the journey much better, would decay less rapidly and could be more readily inspected. The following is a translation of a letter received from a fruit broker of the Central Market, Berlin, which was written in answer to a list of interro gatories sent from Consul Thackara: "During the past season American apples in barrels have arrivea in Berlin badly damaged, owing to the careless manner in which the fruit is packed. American shippers do not us, the same care in sorting the apples as in former years. In most cases the barrels contain apples of three or four differ ent sizes and varying greatly in up pearance. The top layers are good, while the middle and bottom rows are very different both in size and quality. "Apples are imported into Germany packed both in boxes and in barrels, but for the past two years the boxes have been preferred, as the fruit thus packed was received in better condition and the apples were liner. During the seasons of lilM'.t-lll and l'J10-ll, apples packed in lioxes were imported from the State of Oregon and Washington. The fruit was excellent and well graded. Sorting the apples must naturally he dune by the packer, as the German importer should not be compelled in pay dunes and lreiglu on unsorted apples, and besides inferior fruit should remain in the United Slates High grade apples packed in boxes should lie wrapped in paper. "Up to the present time California apples have been received here only in boxes. While they excel in quality the boxed apples from eastern states, the packing and quality of the Oregon and Washington fruit were superior." No ollicial statistics are published wihcii would indicate me acreage or yield of apples in Germany. .While the hint is widely grown, the general climatic conditions, except in a few favored sections of southern Germany, Havana, linden, Wurtteniherg and Saxony that are contiguous to the great I vrolese apple region, are not lavor alile fur the production of high grade I nut. I here are also wet seasons deficient in sunshine, and at certain tunes of the year hail and storms cause great damage to orchards. For these reasons Germany is a large im porter of apples, the market varying with the general industrial conditions and the extent of the home crop. New York Fruit Trade Journal anil I'roiluce News.

The White Salmon people are in high hopes of having an electric car line in their valley soon. The Enterprise says that an electric railway to come down the White Salmon river from a point above llusum seems to be a fact. Ten acres along the river have been purchased of Mr. Cameron and negotia tions are on for other rights of way. The intention is to build a long flume, passing by the narrows and dropping the water in the vicntiy of the Kishop place, where the power house will be located. Development Near Mosicr. The Hood River Orchard Land Com pany is expending a large sum in development this spring. They have made a great outlay in teams and im plements and have a large pay roll. Sixty men were sent from here to the scene of their active devlopment last week. The company, of which Devlin & Firebaugh, of Portland, are the sell ing agents owns 3500 acres in the Hood River and Mosier districts and is plac ing on the market a tract of 2100 acres of apple land five miles southeast of Mosier. This tract will be known aa the Mosier View Orchard and will be planted and developed by the company, which will turn it over to purchasers at the end of five years, when the orchards will be self-sustaining. The varieties to be planted are Yel low Newtowns, Spitzenbergs and Ort leys, with some Arkansas Clacks as pollenizers. Three-year-old roots w;th one-year-old buds are to be planted. The company is starting nurseries of its own in the Mosier View Orchards and will have 50,000 trees ready to plant yearly. A piece of 30 acres of this tract has been platted for a townsite. A store has been opened there, and a hotel and a number of residences are soon to be constructed. Roads are being built and general improvements are .'under way, a force of 50 men being employed on the various operations. The com pany has a monthly payroll of $11000, which will soon be increased.
