HASLINGER, Manager PHONE 284-M Accompanied ly cartoon depicting a Huod Kiwr apple grower handing Uck to a Ceni.an a draft for apples and announcing to the rations of tur ote that he had no more Extra Fanciea left the! cartoon entitled "Do i our Shopping Early," the following, writ ten by Hyman H. Cohen, appealed in u"day's Portland Oregon Journal: The other day a check for a very larte sum of money was returned to certain parties in Handling, Germany, hy otiicials of the Hood Kiver Apple Growers' Union. The mere return of the check did nut signify much to the outside, but to thos-e that are most closely identified with the apple market, the occurrence indicated much. In the face of the greatest crop of apnlcs produced throughout the world and especially in the United States, Hood Kiver has been unable to supply the demand for its worlds famous fruit. While it is true tbat the crop of apples on the ccast west or the United States and especially in Oregon, t.iui,,. u,..,l WMshineton. was compara tively small this season, this deficiency was more than made up by the record production in that section east of the liorkies. . , The royalty of Europe and Asia de mands the best in the world of apples, this applies principally to the product of Oregon-Hood Kiver, Kogue River ami the Willamette valley. Hie public which has the money to buy the prod uct of any section, invariably asks for the fruit from Oregon when purchasing apples. This accounts for the fact that even if a big crop here there is scrarcely ever a sullicient amount of apples produced to till all the eastern and foreign demand and leave a small anount for home consumers. In the world's market for apples, the Oregon product stands in a class entirely by itself. There is no apple from any other section of the world that approaches within sight of the prices that are paid for.the fancy stock from this state. Notwithstanding the enormous crop of apples produced in the eastern por tion of the United States and in Eur . . . i .i . i ope, mere is always a urmanu lor uie better quality. In comparison wun the urices obtained fur a box of Oregon apple?, every other section lies low. lo secure a reputation lor nonest quality and pack, Oregon growers have d the world in improvement in appie culture. Extra fancy apple labels from the leading Oregon sections mean exactly what they say. The fruit is the same from top to bottom and irom side to side. Every apple is uniform. Those going out from the better sec tions under the extra fancy label are not only uniform in size, but are marked for colors and the smooth skin is wonderful to look at. This accounts for the fact thut for years past the leading buyeis of apples throughout the world have been quite willing to send their checks ahead and know that the apples they receive are the best that can be produced. Owing to the fact that the eastern portion of the United States had such a very heavy crop of apples of good quality this year, and of which rather low prices ruled, there was a smaller amount of Oregon's best product sold there than usual this season. Competition in Europe was greater than ever before on this account, but this did not deter the trade there from taking all availaMo supplies of Ore gon's best product -and then having its check returned because it wanted more than growers were able to bring forward. Oregon apples were more widely distributed over Europe this season than ever before and repeat orders could not be taken care of. Public Library. In doing any kind of literary work in Hood Kiver, one experiences ditH cultv in procuring books. Either the information is not forthcoming or under inconvenience, delay, and ex pense, it mui.t be obtained from out of town. Recently a young Hood River man had to send away for a book to assist him in his work. Constantly such needs arise. This is one of the incidents calling for a library, yet it is important, because it indicates the plueo it - w ill till in the community. The tax payers, also, realize this and me giving their hearty support so strongly that nil indications point to the probability ot the establishment of a library at no far distant date.

A. 1'lath In a,n effort to get the cases bound over to the Circuit Court, Albert S. Hall, local manager of the' Pacific Power & Light, on an alleged criminal destruction of property preferred char ges against T. E. Verco, a lineman, and Charles W. Gill, line foreman of the Hydro Electric Co., last rriday. However, after listening to the wait resses. Justice of the Peace A. C liuck in a few words dismissed the complaint. The case created a great deal of interest and the City Hall, where the trial was held, was filled to overflowing. ihe line of the Hydro Electric Co., for a great distance along the country road, parallels that of the Pacific Power & Light Co. At the Indian Creek bridge but a short distance from the city limits the Hydro Company found it necessary, according to the testimony in order to clear the lines of its competitors, to erect poles 65 feet in height. While making ready to set these long poles on the day before Thanksgiving, a guy-rope fell across the Pacific Power & Light Company's wires and created a flash that, as residents of the city will remember, put the lights out in town for almost thirty minutes. In order to prevent a more serious repetition of this disaster and to prevent danger to the workmen. rorman Gill ordered Verco to remove plugs a short'distance from the point, where the crew wan working, and thus cut off the current. . This action was taken by tee foreman the morning al ter Thanksgiving. While the Hydro Company s crew was working with the current off, A I. Day, superintendent of the lines of the Pacilic Co.. reports having been re ceived from patrons becuse of lack of current, as is alleged, began an inves tigation long the lines and discovered the plugs cut. However, he made no move to have the r replaced, although he had had orders to heat the wires. The wires remained without their current of 2,200 volts for about four and a half hours, and asserting that it was a willful and malicious damage to them because their patrons were with out electrieal energy for power and heating purposes for this period, the manager of the company preferred the charges. Evidence was introduced by the de fense, which was representd by A. J. Derby, to show that even though the action had been malicious, because of the fact that the wires of the lines were unlawfully constructed no tine could be assessd hy law. The testi mony tended to show that the lines were improperly placed upon'the cross arms, mid that a workman engaged on the line would be in great danger be cause they were strung so close to gether. The main argument of the defense was based on this testimony. Attorney Wilbur argued for the prosecution that such a defense ap plied merely between the employer and employes and that the defendants had no right whatever to meddle with the property of the Pacific Power & Light Co. Mr. Wilbur also emphasized the damage to the company and the hard ship sufTered by the patrons along the line because of the lack of current for four hours and a half. In his argument Judge Derby said: "While Mr. Wilbur makes much of the damage to the company and the incon venience of the patrons- mark me 1 say this without malice 1 will wagei that the first of the month, when those patrons recieve bills they will find no reductions. " In rendering his decision, Justice Ruck said : "Gentlemen, all of this talk about unlawfully constructed lines has been wasted on me. 1 am going to settle this case according to common Bense. Under the circumstances it seems to me that the defendants acted as any other reasonable men would have done and for the best interest of the Pacific Power & Light Co. as well as for their own safety. Therefore 1 dismiss the case." A Gift Eor Your Children. In making a child the gift of a savings account you are making it the very best present it is possible to give for you are introducing it to the way of saving and economy which really means start ing it upon the road to success and hap piness in life. All of the great and successful men of the world agree that economy is one of the foundation stones of character and success, if not the main one; and they all are emphatic about the importance of teaching saving at home. Read what President Mckinley and Gladstone say : PRESIDENT McKINLEY SAYS: "The little saving bank in the home is a greater guarantee lor the Buccess of the children of the family almost than all the advice of the world " GLADSTONE SAYS: "Parents everywhere should teach their children to save money. Thrift is the gri 'nte.-t anchor of our character and of a nation's citizenship. It is a virtue that more than any other, in my belief, makes and insures gixid and capable men and women. It should be cultivat ed in ihe home as an essential part of t child's education, with even more care than thai employed in teaching to read and write, as it will really have more important bearing upon the child's future than any other part of its train ing.
