Judging from the almost universal enthusiasm that ia being manifested over the forthcoming annual Hood River Horticultural Chautauqua to be Kelt) at the lava beds August 22, 23 and 24. it gives promise of being the great est event that has ever been pulled off lure and one of the most unique in the annals of western horticulture. Mem bers of the linance committee who have been canvassing the valley dur ing the past week have succeeded in disposing of a large number of reason tickets and have already taken enough orders for tent and camp accommoda tions to insure a big attendance. Geo. I. Sargent, the original sponsor of this affair, first suggested the event for the principle purpose of bringing the various sections of the valley closer together, to get out into the open at the same time to forget the troubles of business and farming. With this end in view the horticultural part tf the program will occupy but a portion of each afternoon, while the main efforts of entertainment have been expended upon the eveninc uro grams. The first night will be devoted entirely to music under the personal direction of Mrs. Chas. H. Hennev who will be asissted by Mrs. P. S Davidson, Mrs. Frank E. Deem, Miss f.va li rock, Utto Wedemever. J. Adrian Epping, Calvin Skinner. Clarence Gil- bert. Kalph Hoot, John Hoyer, the well known cornetist of Portland. William Chandler and J. A. Weust. The fea ture number of the first night will te the trio by Mrs. Henney, Mrs. Deem and Mrs. Davidson, accompnicd by miss Brock at the piano, and lour vio lins. The second night will be straight vaudeville, presenting the following partial list of features: Clarke and (jilbert; Carroll and Kelley; Joe D, lhomison; the Shubert Trio: W. rt Rahles in his famous Hebrew imita lions; Dorothy Epping in her clever Isadora Duncan dance. : Constance Henderson, illuminated club swinging: John Goldsberry, monologue, and the Upper Valley quartet. Hilarity will reign supreme on the last night which will be given over to minstrels and burlesque vaudeville. In the minstrel first part ends will be handled by Mrs. Davidson and Mrs Henney, assisted by Arthur Clarke and Capt. McLan, withiw. fci. King ua terlocutor. Ihe balance of this burn cork aggregation will Include Mrs Deem, Mrs. Mct'an, Miss' Constant Henderson, J. Adrian Epplff, -jnWin SKinner, carence Ufherr, and Messrs. Osgood and Wilbur, with Albert Crock er 88 musical director. The stage will be under the personal direction of Ar thur Clarke. A natural Hmpitheatre has been dis covered, hidden away in the depths of this forest retreat, which will be trans formed into a veritable fairyland with canopies of many colored electric lights. J wo immense giants of the forest serve as a natural proscenium arch for the stage, which will be built in between, completely equipped with curtain, wings, (lies, footlights, border lights and spot lights. The grounds committee, under the energetic management of C. K. Mar shall, assisted by Ceo. I. Sargent, John Mohr and C. D. Woodworth have made arrangements to erect an electric dy namo on the grounds to generate elec tricity for the occasion. The commit tee has also completed all details rela tive to the establishment of the en campment. Tents will be furnished in two sizes all ready for occupancy. A charge of two dollars and a half for the season will be made for the 10x12 tents, and two dollars and seventy-five cents for the 12x4size. Cots can be secured for fifty cents apiece. Those who have their own tents and desire to have them erected, the committee will make a charge of one dollur.which will include erecting and striking, and transportation both ways from Park dale. When tents are shipped to the committee all poles must be included. Arrangements have also been made for the care of horses, and hay will be furnished on the grounds at cost. Those desiring accommodations should apply forjsame to Chairman C. K. Mar shall, oar Kay Scott at the" Commsreiul club. The commissary committee, consist ing of Prof. C. D. Thompson, Frank E. Deem, J. E. Ferguson, H. Connaway and John Putnam have perfected an excellent plan for the serving of all meals on the grounds. The Ladies'Aid Society of Parkdale has consented to take charge of th s department. The Parkdale ladies have had considerable experience in this line, and with the aid of professional caterer who is already on the ground the encampment should not lack for all kinds of good eats. A flat rate of fifty cents per meal will be made, with the following menus ; Breakfast, cereal, fruit ham, bacon, eggs, hot cakes, toast, tea, coffee and milk; luncheon, relishes, salad, three kinds of cold meats, boiled and fried potatoes, dessert, tea, coffee, milk and fruit; supper, salad, olives and green onions; two kinds of hut meats, three kinds ot vegetables grown in the Upper Valley, dessert, tea, coffee, milk, cake, cheese and fruit. Those who may desire to supply a por tion of their own meals, will be ena bled to secure whatever they want in the way of hot dishes from the commis sary. In the way of transportation. Mana ger Early, of the Mount Hood Railway has announced a special round trip rate of a fare and a third. A bus service will be established between Parkdale and the grounds, with a probable rate of 25 cents for the round trip. There will probably be an excursion on the last day of the encampment, leaving Hood River late in the afternoon, and returning after the performance that night. Season tickets and tent reservations may be had at any of the drug stores, the Commercial club or Arthur Apple Crop Good, Says Sprout "I have never seen auule districts. ake them as a whole, have better verage crops," says U.

APPLES WILL BE ADVERTISED COMMERCIAL CLIB EVOLVES PLAN HARTER DEFECTIVE ATTORNEYS DECLARE A keen disappointment was felt at the Monday night meeting of the city council, when communications were read from a number of the most prom- nent bond buyers giving their reasons for not having submitted bids on the fr'O.OoO issue of municipal water bond, bids for which were opened that even- ng. The comunications stated thct the brokers had submitted the tran scripts of proceedings Bent out'to them by the mayor and recorder to attorneys and that the opinion had been rendered that in all probability the issue would ue uri'iureu invalid, ana mus to tuumii i bid would be a waste of time. The proceedings of the Council lead ng up to the '"sue were in every way correct. It was declared in valid became of organic mistakes in to legislative enactments. The bond isue was carried at an election of freeholders of the city of Hood River. Attorneys, wtho have examined the transcripts, declare that since the propel ty of a personal nature ia made to bear a part of the burden of defray ing the issue that all qualified voters hould have had a voice at the election. Anotner tecnnical point mat was raised is that the election should have been called by publication instead of the posting of notices. At the suggestion of representatives oi bond buying houses, who were pres ent Monday night Hnd at the recom- mendatino of City Attorney A. J. Der by, the city will submit the transcritpt to some firm of prominent eastern bond attorneys, who do nothing else but pass upon such matters, and follow their counsel in the sale of the I89ue. Judge Derby said Monday night: "It is unfair to the citizen of the city and the buyers to have to delay and make necessary the investigations of attor- nevn- Thtt ttuKt, ihinu in hn dnriM m tn submit the whole matter to a firm of bond attorneys of high reputation and if it is wrong, to put it on the table, when we get it back and so dissect it that we can go ahead and do some thing. For once the people of Hood Kiver are all of the same sentiment on one thing, we want more water. And we should get this bond issue disposed of as soon as possible." The work for the grading of Oak street, when bida on this work were opened, waj granted to John Zolls. E. U. Hall secu'ed the work of laying the concrete walks. Proceeds from Fruit Sales to Be I'sed in Placing Ads ia Tonns Where Fruit is Placed on Sale SMALLPOX PATIENT HAS BEEN ISOLATED "An item in the Hood River News, stating that a small pox patient from the btone & Webster camp on the White Salmon was being treated at the Cottage hospital is incorrect," declares Dr. J. f . Watt, president of the hos pital. A laborer, before examination nd before the character of the dis ease was known, was brought to this city. It was discovered that he was suffering from a mild form of smallpox and he was refused admittance to the hospital. Ihe man is being cared for in a tent outside the city, where every precau tion is taken to prevent others from coming within the slightest contact Willi the contagion. KOBERG WILL FIGHT CONDEMNATION SUIT J. II. Koberg will make a stiff fight against the condemnation proceedings brought against him and his wife by the Pacific Power & Light Co.. which desires to Becure a right of way for its high power line to connect this city and White Salmon, he declares. The proposed right of way will cross val uable quarries, according to Mr. Ko berg, and if the line is established over them he and his associates will be seriously hampered in the work of securing stone from the basalt cliffs. VISITING TEAM WINS SUNDAY'S GAME Clarke's and from members of the committee, J. H. Heilbronner, R. E. Scott, Joe D. Thomieon, E. A. Franz and A. P. Reed. Apples Sold for Foreign Ports Orders have been booked for local The Meier & Frank baseball team from Portland took away the scalp of the local team at Sunday's ganie, the score being 3 to 1 in favor of the vis itors. The local boys played in tough luck, (iill, who pitched for the Heights team, only allowed four hits and struck out 15 men. However, a number of the Heights aggregation have been in camp in various places in the valley during the past two weeks and have nut had the benefit of consistent practice. The team will have four practices thia week to make ready for the victory they expect to win from the Weona team here Sun day. Mrs. lilack says the children are do ing most excellent work on the library benefit operetta, "A Dream of Fairy land. She is having two rehearsals daily, devoting the morning hours to solo work, recitative parts, etc., after noons to chorus singing, fancy steps, drills, etc. Watch fur dates in next Secretary Ray E. Scott, of the Com- mericial club, has evolved a plan for advertising the Hood River apple, not the land that raises it. but the iuicv perfect fruit that has aroused so much comment and aroused so much rom- x'tition in opinions about real apples. Mr. Scott has given the details of his plan in the following paragraphs: Up to this time most of the adver tising Hood River has done is in regard to the land that raises the famous apple, but now that there is consider able more acreage planted to apples than there was seven ytare ago when the first literature was sent out, and production of the apple itself is on the increase, it ia proposed to help the grower find a market for his product, and by finding a broader market, create more demand and in the end a better price. the plan of advertising and of raiBing necessary money to pay foi it ia as follows. Ihe growers will be asked to give an order for several boxes of Extra Fancy apples, on the selling agency that will handle their apples. These orders will be turned into the selling agency by the club and the apples sold, the club taking the pool price. The selling agencies such as the Union, the National, Davidson, Hood River Apple and Storage, will be asked to designate the cities where they are selling apples in carload lota of fancy grades, and display advertis ing will be placed in the lucal papers at these poinU. This advertising will be placed right in front of the consumer in the pages of his own paper, the apples will be in the hands of commission firm in his own town ; the consumer can ask his grocer for a Hood River apple and know that if he insists on having it, the grocer will be able to get it fur him, and in short order. "The commission man will be glad to handle an apple that has the selling force of newspaper advertising behind . it, and the grocer will be glad to fur nish anything he is asked for that will net him a profit. "In thia way the market in any town can be trengthened and the field broadened. New markets can be opened up, for places that never-' ordered a carload of Hood Kiver apples before will begin to get inquiries for Hood River apples, from points that never inquired before. "There ia nothing diaUncUy new (about tha plan, ot getting tha good before the consumer, because the ' tactics are the sama employed by every manufacturer of goods that makes his wares for the ultimate con sumer. But no one has ever before advertised an apple to the cunsumer. California has advertised her orangea with great success, and one of the biggest advertising firms in America has handled the advertising. Most goods are advertised in the great national magazines, but this advertis ing firm says that even with 40,000 cars or orangea laBt year, the demand that could have been created by national magazine advertising was so vast, that 40,000 cars would not have come anywhere near supplying it. Their conclusion on the orange ques tion was that the lucal papers would have to be employed, and so they were, with results that have brought the orange industry into a moBt profitable condition. "Realizing that the start must be made sometime, the Commercial club is going to ask the growers to make their contributions to the Commercial dub in thia manner, and gives a receipt fur every order which contains an agreement that the proceeds from the sales of the apples are to be used in helping make a broader and a betier market for the already well known apple of Hood River Valley. "There seems to have been a great difference of opinion regarding the kind of advertising the club has done in the past. Some want more atten tion paid to the affairs of the town, saying the club ought to take more interest in municipal affairs: some want the club to concentrate on locat ing some kind of factories in Hood River; others wish the club to help promote land Bales as in the past, and stiil many others want the product ot the valley advertised. Everybody is right and in the end it is hoped to get results that will satisfy ev -rybody. One way to get results is for every one that thinks of anything that might help along any of these various lines of the club's work, to go right up to the secretary's office and get the word into that quarter. Get things started. It takes time to work them out, and a start ia sometimes the hardest part of the whole thing. "On this plan of advertising the apple it is hoped that everybody with apples to sell this year will get his name in the pot in proportion with the quantity he has to sell, and start the thing moving. A committee will make a canvass of the valley shortly, but everyone who will give his order to the secretary of the Commercial club ahead of that time, will save just that much work. The order blanks will be ready Saturday, August 10. OAK GROW HOME DESTROYED BY FIRE The country home of Mrs. J. H. Osborne on her fruit ranch, Apple Dell, in the Oak Grove district, was destroyed by fire Tuesday afternoon. No one was at home at the time the fire started and its origin is unknown. Mrs. Osborne and her children were visiting at the home of a neighbor, when the smoke was seen. When they arrived on the scene the conflagration had made such headway that it was impossible to save anv of the contents. She had just removed from the city and all of her personal keepsakes, which it will be impossible to replace, were destroyed. The loss will reach week's issue.
