DISCUSS PLAN
I'MOX DIRECTORS READ REPORT
Committee Appointed to Make Thurounh
Investigation and Keturn Report on
or About March 1st.
1 Willi iini1 of tho largest iminlicrs of
1 1 uud Kivtr fruitgrowers ever Katlu-rvd
in one hotly (irt'st nt Saturdiiy to hear
Hie n port of the committee roomily
iiiotf. to investigate the niethotl.s
of the Northwestern Fruit Kxehunio
and to discuss the proposed plan ol I
conihiiiinn the districts of WeiMtehee,
unfile Kiver anil Mood Kiver for the
purchase of a controlling interest in
the KxchaiiKe, action was taken, which
will undoubtedly lead to some con
certed plan of sales between the re
spective districts.
'the two principal addresses of the
afternoon were delivered by K. S.
Miller, manager of the Koj;ue Kiver
Fruit & l'rotluce Association, and VV.
F. Gwin, of l'ortland and the origin
ator of the Northwestern Kxchange.
A lengthy report of the Directors of
the Union relative to the findings of
the investigating committee, was read
by C. H. Sproat, manager of the Union.
The report in part was as follows:
"At Mr. Miller's request, we gave
him a hearing here. We considered his
plan worthy of the tleepest considera
tion. The committee appointed for
the purpose nuide a detailed investiga
tion of the Northwestern Fruit Ex
change. The home offices of the con
cern are in splendid shape and the
work done ly the Exchange is open
and honestly conducted. However, the
information gathered as to its connec
tions with the North American Ex
change and the stability, elliciency and
responsibility of that selling agency
was indefinite. And further details
should be found out as to the connec
tions the individual unions will have
with Northwestern Fruit Exchange
and with one another.
"Assuming that the crop for the
year will be a million boxes and that
six or seven hundred of these boxes
will be handled at 10 cents per box,
the rate established by the Exchange,
the sum, JilO.IMK) or 170,(1(1(1, seems to
us so collossal us to call fjr further
deep consideration. Hut we would call
your attention to the fact that from
the selling view point, we deem it of
vital importance that the different
communities move toward some con
certed plan on sales and distribution."
"We would also cull your attention to
the fact that all the information which
we have received relative to this pro
posed amalgamation has been received
from only one source, namely that of
the selling pat ty and while we do not
discredit any of the statements made
at the same time we feel that it is due
our stockholders that full corroborative
information should be received from
all sources possible by the Hoard of
Directors hi fore they feel free to ad
vise any action on the purl of our
stockholders at the present time.
"In accordance with the above it
was moved by Mr. Sutton seconded by
Mr. Walter that the Hoard of Direc
tors approve of the above report and
adopt same as voicing their senti
ments. All of the Directors voted yes.
Those present and voting were Messrs.
Sut tun, Shepard, Winchell, Delhman
MeCunly, Walter, Dickerson, and
Sprout."
.1. E. Ferguson, who was a member
of the investigating committee, said:
I deem th : methods or the Northwest
ern Fruit Exchange the most admirable
that 1 have ever ceen and 1 approve of
a plan of having a committee going
further with the investigation."
After tha addresses of Mr. Miller
and Mr. (Iwin, the remarks of Mr.
Ferguson and the leading of the report
by Mr. Sproat, Truman Hutler, who
said: In my mind no other problem
that we have ever faced can anyways
approximate in importance the pres
ent; for it means looking at it from
the point of ordinary sales and distri
bution, that we shall have bread and
dessert instead of ordinary bread, if
the best prices are to be had," made
the motion that the following resolu
tion be adoptetl :
' Resolved, That a commit tee of
three he appointed consisting of one
member of the Hoard of Directors of
the Apple Growers' Union, one inde
pendent shippers and one business man.
lo confer with committees of like num
ber from Wemitchee nnd Kogue liiver.
'Resolved that the duty of the three
committees is to consider the question
of forming an amalgamation of the
three districts or a closer working
relation between them and that it shall
be further the duty of this committee
to investigate the so-called Rogue
River plan as a means of accomplish
ing this amalgamation.
"Resolved, That the chairman of
this meeting notify the other two dis
tricts of this action and request them
to appoint their committees at the
earliest possible date to the end It at
the three committees may meet on or
about February 15, nnd be ready to
report hack to a stockholders' meeting
to be called by the Union not later
than March l'
After a second by K. 0. Hlanehar,
who concurred with Mr. Hutler in his
remarks, the resolution was andpted
ami the following citizens were ap
pointed to the investigating commit
tee: Mr. Hutler, 1. S. Davidson and
W. Ii. Dickerson. A resolution unani
mously adopted, for the benefit of the
newspapers, said Mr. Mason, who in
troduced it, read: "We favor some
comprehensive selling agency among
the box apple districts of the North
west." The first speaker of the afternoon
was Mr. Miller, who during the week
before had met gatherings of orchard
ists in various parts of the valley,
where lie had explained the proposed
plan. "The three districts, which it
is proposed to unite," said the Rogue
Kiver Iruit man, are in the main
specializing in different fruits. It is
true, perhaps tnat Wenatchee s hint
zenbergs ami yours somewhat overlap
as do your Newtowns and ours, yet we
are all the time moving toward this
specialization. Thus we can get to
gether and use this machine. The
unions set their own price.
"The growers of the three districts
have the alternative of two things
before them. They can purchase out
right the controlling stock of the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange, or they
can take it on trial for a year. How
ever, I am not asking you to do any
more than we do, we can all get to
gether and make a thorough investiga
tion." .Mr. Miller was followed by Mr.
Gwin. who outlined the details of the
methods used by the Northwestern Ex
change. "The Exchange was to estab
lish the natural partnership that should
exist between the producing and selling
end." he said. "1 came west three
year ago and covered the greater part
of the fruit producing belt. 1 was
aroused by the conditions that I felt
sure would exist, when the big plant
ings came into bearing. 1 purchasttl a
piece of land to become a grower myself.
I he Exchange w as established
July, Will. Up to that time, the apple
problem was one of horticulture,
assembling the fruit and packing.
However, now we have got down to
the marketing. The whole demand
nust he employed for maximum values
hat is fundamental, and this is what
the Northwest Exchange has worked
out. To put the fruit before the whole
demand at once."
Mr. Gwin was asked and answered a
number of questions from different
growers. The meeting was presided
over by G. A. McCurdy, president of
the Apple Growers' Union.
LEWIS TELLS HOW
TO SAVE TREES
"When trees have been severely in
jured by storms or other weather con
ditions, the first impulse of the or
chardist is to rip the trees out," says
Prof. G. 1. Lewis of the horticultural
division of the Oregon Agricultural
College in response to a large number
of letters of inquiry regarding the
proper handling of the trees broken by
the recent "silver thaw."
"This would probably be a mistake,
since, with all trees except one-year-olds,
there is a good root system that,
if the trees are cut back properly, can
be made to force out a strong, vigorous
top," continued Prof. Lewis.
"Often trees injured by freezing in
winter or by sour sap and sun scald in
spring, or by rabbits or squirrels, may
be cut back in such a way as 'o force
a new top. If the snow or ice has
merely broken off the branches, the
broken ends should be cut smooth with
a sharp instrument, and where there
are two or three buds left on a main
branch new branches can generally be
forced out and a new body be built on
the tree.
"If the branches are all stripped
from the tree, it may be simply cut off
below the badly stripped place-in
some trees about IS inches above the
ground. I have found that occasionally
two or three year olJs so treated
simply feather out, the buds develop
ing clusters of leaves instead of forc
ing out good leading branches. One
must expect to lose a few trees in this
way. On the other hand, they some
times force out strong new laterals.
"Another way is to cut back from
three to six inches from the ground,
when strong laterals may often b
forced out which can be pruned the
next year like new trees, giving the
benefit of several things. If the tree
forces out three or four laterals of
about equal strength, these can be
headed back and the tree treated like
an open center, very low headed tree,
and, by in-arching and intertwining all
brancnes that can grow well together
such crotches can be made much
stronger than otherwise. Often it will
be found better to remove ull but one
of these new sprouts, and nrune it as
if it were a new tree.
"Trees three years old or more
should have another treatment. If
they have fairly large bodies, if they
are rebudded or regrafted one is fairly
sure of losing few trees. I would cut
the tree back to about a foot from the
ground and insert a counle ot scions.
either by cleft graft or hark graft.
These would forca out fine growth
which will need close watching the
coming year, and should be pruned, by
June or early July, heading hack the
rank terminals to force out desirable
laterals and keep the tree low headed.
In cases of sour sail, sun scald or
injury by rabbits and squirrels where
the trees are girdled they may be cut
off below the point of injury and good
strong shoots will be sent out. The
root system of the tree is uninjured
and will furrish an enormous amout of
sap and the buds forced out will prob
ably be strong.
"Only in rare eases would I take the
trees out roots and all. Occasionally
when the tops seem badly injured from
uncongenial weather the sprouts will
be forced out yet the top remain alive.
If it seems to be vigorous 1 would cut
off the sprout at the ground hut it
there is question as to the vigor of the
top and none at all as to the strength
of the sprouts 1 would remove the old
top and train the sprout into a new
tree. If the' sprout comes out above
the graft as is usual grafting will be
unnecessary, lie bud ling or redrafting
to a desired variety will he necessary
f the sprouts come out below.
LAWRENCE DELIVERS
SECOND LECTURE
"First Things in the Apple Orchard"
was tne subject of an address by Pro
fessor W. II. Lawrence Saturday night
in the series of lectures on apple cul
ture being given this Winter bv the
educational department of the Portland
Y. M. U. A.
. Professor Lawrence treated his sub
ject from the view point of a plant
pathologist.
"A large majority of those who
engage in apple culture," he said, "do
so for the purpose or making a living
out of it and not as a pastime or as a
relaxation from other work. Firsfca
proper location should be chosen in one
of the four great fruit districts of the
Pacific Goast, Rogue River Hood
River, Yakima or Wenatchee, where
there are the right climatic conditions
and marketing facilities at a reason
able expense Gootl air and water
drainage should also he considered and
the varieties to be planted should be
decided. The clearing of the land
often is expensive when stumps must
be removed. The three methods of
doing this are by charpitting, stump
pullers and donkey engines.
"In selecting the nursery stock avoid
all that has any sign of Winter Injury
and take only that which is known to
he heaP by. The holes should he two
spade lengths deep and if any of the
roots are broken they should be cut off
from the under side. After setting
the young tree Bhould be cut off 30
inches from the ground."

The greater portion of the time of
the city council Monday evening was
taken up with a dij-'rii.jsiou of the
methods of supervision i f a fiie uVpurl
ment of the city of Ho,,,) River. At
present the Volunteer Fire Department
of the city is an independent to organ

vided they would secure some cne to
take-A'harge of the engine and provided
they would respond to down town calls
to fires. In case they did not respond,
the engine to be returned to its present
quarters.
Wm. Ganger, fire chief, was present,
and addressing the council, stated:
"We are ready to put the chemical on
the Heights as soon as we are assured
that some one, who is competent, will
take charge of it. We have felt for
some time that the Heights needed
more protection and the engine would
have been taken there a week or two
ago but for the heavy snow." Re
marks were made on the subject by
the mayor, Councilman Hrosius and
Councilman Staten. All talks tending
toward a general tire department for
the city working along harmonious
lines with the Fire and Water com
mittee of the council.
Mr. Ganger submitted to the council
an inventory of the apparatus of the
Fire Department, which follows:

venient to the firehouse, where three
or four of the tmchcloi members of the
department might ret-ide, in order that
thev might be ready at night to get all
apparatus ready to be hauled to the fire.
He further suggested the great need
of the city for more fire plugs.
'1 he W.J. Haker building, now oc
cupied by the Davenport Harness Co.,

office of the oily recorder and the
water superintendent.
Dr. Hrosius, reporting for the Street
committee, stated that a number of
citizens had been to him, offerinw to
advance funds for the improvement of
the East Side Grade. Dr. Hrosius,
who stated that the road way would
be but little used until Spring, sug
gesetd that the oiler should receive the
attention of the council. The city
surveyor was instructed to complete a
survey of the proposed double tracking
of the highway and to report his esti
mate of cost for the work to the
council as soon us possible.
7AI 1VI
ANOTHER HOT SPRING
Fred Young, owner of Collins Hot
Springs, which is located on the Wash
ington side of the Columbia just oppo
site Wyeth, after many months of
careful digging amidst the basaltic
bluff that rears itself behind tne hotel
building, has discovered a bubbling
hot spring, the waters of which regis
ter at a temperature between 120 and
RiO degrees. Mr. Young has written
Arthur Clarke of this city that he is
jubilant over his discovery. He will
make a great many improvements 011
his property and make it an attractive
resort for the ailing or those who tie
sire a rest and recreation,
The water is strongly impregnated
with minerals, containing a great per
centage of iron and soda. After run
ning tor a time over the rocks, the
water 'eaves a thick white ami red
streaked sediment. The waters of the
old spring, which are thought to have
come from a seepage from the newiy
discovered spring, were never as hot
as desired.
