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.

The big Four Theatrical Company,

upon our reputation already made.
There are three men and four
women. They give a guartantee of a
clean, moral entertainment and come
well recommended. This is the first
regular theatrical troup which has
come to us and we hope for as good
patronage as is given to our Lyceum

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.
Use this occasion to start your boy or
gin into the iv ot saving, a savings
account accompanied by one ot our
really beautiful safes will make a pres
ent of a value far beyond anything else
you can secure at double or treble the
outlay. Ma- t your boy right Now.
