Two New Members of Board of Directors -Capital Stock Will lie Doubled. With the Assembly Hall of the Commercial Club packed and almost every grower of the Valley present, the Apple Growersz' Union held the most largely attended stockholders' meeting of its history last Saturday. Not only were resident orehardists present but property owners and stock holders from Portland and other nearby cities were here and took an active part in the discussions. More than three quarters of the capital stock of the organization was represented either in person by the holders or by proxy. The morning session of the meeting was taken up by the routine work of the roll call, the entering of proxies and reports of ollicers. Manager C. 11. Sprout in the annual Urinaria! report did much to dispel the disappointment that has recently pervaded the .ranks of the members, lie amplified the ex planations of the recent communica tion issued by him to the stockholders and did much to put conditions that were formerly misunderstood in a dilf erent light. His report re-created the confidence that the members of the organization have always had in the board as was evidenced by the election in the latter part of the day. Mr. Sprout told the stockholders that the Union owed no money and that at the present time resources were .$00,1 111. 00, while the liabilities were, bonds pay able $22,000 and the capital stock $2,r,,000. The question of establishing a sales department also came up before the noon roee-ss. lleenuse of lack of time the discussions on the matter were necessarily brief. The following reso lution, introduced by S. Mears, of Portland, was adopted: Whereas, as Hood Kiver fruitgrowers have demonstrated beyond question that fruit of the very best quality and packed in the most attractive shape can be and is produced in ever increas ing quantity, and, whereas, as the pro duction of fruit in the Northwest is very rapidly on the increase, and Whereas, as fruit prices like every other commodity are regulated by supply and demand, therefore, Bo It Resolved, that it is the sense of this meeting that the time has arrived when steps must be taken by this association to further the sale of our products against the ever-increas ing competition, by creating a sales department and the directors are here by empowered to incur the necessary expense ny an additional charge of not to exceed live cents per box, it the present charge of ten cents per box does not provide sullicient funds to maintain a selling department in addi tion to the current expenses. The meeting re-assembled at the Assembly hall at two o'clock and the afternoon was principally taken up with the election of ollicers. On a motion of II. It. Albee, wheh was duly seconded and carried, the four mem bers of the old board, who must be re elected according to the by laws and constitution of the organization, were voted upon. The old board was composed of (!. A. McCurdy, C. H. Sproat, V. Winchell, C. Dethman, L. E. Clark, O. L. Wal ter, Geo. W. Simon, K. H. Shepard and J. 1.. Carter. Mr. Sproat was manager and Mr. McCurdy president of the Union. Messrs. Sproat, Shepard, Deth man and McCurdy were re-elected on this ballot. The following nominations were made for the other live members of the board: O. L. Walter, W. B. Dickerson, L. E. Clark, V. Winchell, Albert Sutton, Ceo I. Sargent, .1. W. Palmer, Oscar Vanderbilt, L. E. Ire land and Geo. W. Simon. A. I. Mason and K. II. Wallace were also nomi nated but at their request their names were withdrawn. From the above number Messrs. Walter, Dickerson, Clark, Winchell and Sutton were elected. Mr. Dickerson and Mr. Sutton are the only new members of the hoard, taking the place of Mr. Simon and Mr. Carter. The question of in creasing the capital stock of the or ganization from $2."i,000 to J.'iO.OOO was voted on the same ballot with the elec tion of the above ollicers, in order to save time, (hit of the shares voting on the proposition lii-10 were for the increase, while only 10 voted no. The hoard of directors elected at Saturday's meeting will meet Saturday and or ganize. Exercises of Graduating Nurses.
