A campHign'was recently begun here
Ly Prof. W. H. Lawrence, the county
plant pathologist and the Hoard of
Ilirectorsjof the Commercial club as
well as a number of private individ
uals, who realize the benefit of the
movement, to secure for the Hood
Ifivcr Valley an experiment station.
Much of the horticultural experiment
work of the state is already conducted
in the region. If the station were
secured this work could be made far
more extensive and work be done that
will be of benefit not only to the local
Valley orchardists but to all North
western fruit regions.
The plans will come licfore the
orchardists at the Horticultural Chau
tauqua during the session there this
week and will form one of the most
interesting topics fur discussion.
Prof. Lawrence, one of the warmest
exponents of the plan, says that one of
the benehcial branches of the r.xperi
ment station will be the horticultural
museum that will be established.
In a list given below he sets forth
some of the displays that nmy be made
that will be of the most practical use
to the orchardist:
Fungus diseases. Specimens and
charts illustrating the life histoiy and
control of the organisms causing the
diseases of the apple known as Apple
Scab, Anthracnose, Fire liliglit and
I'liou a Canker.
Insect pests. Display of the stages
of the life history of the Codling Moth,
San Jose Scale, Oyster bliell bcale,
etc.
Physiological diseases and similar or
unknown maladies. Material for
reference and comparison. I
Commercial fertilizers. Carriers or
lime, potash, phosphoric acid and
nitrogen placed in display jars and
labeled to Bhow'the chemical composition.
Cover crops. Display samples of
the seeds of each of the cover crops
tested. Dried specimens of each of
the cover crops which give promise
for this section. Also displays of the
roots of legumes showing the nature
of the routs.
Croo conditions. Charts showing the
yields of average orchards of different
ages. Also showing the adaptability
of different varieties of apples to
various types of soil.
Soils. Of the 15 types or soils in me
Hood River Vallev each sample to be
divided into the surface 8 ', sub-sur
face 10". sub-sub-surfuce la and
sub-soil 18" (total til) samples). These
samples to be labeled showing the
mineral composition, chemical com
position, aciditv, physical structure
and the water capacity.
Spraying materials. Arsenate of
lead and other sprays used in the de
struction of the codling moth and other
isect pests labeled to show their chem
ical composition, action and uses.
Weather conditions. Charts showing
snowfall, rainfall, character of the

UNION SHIPS FIRST
CARLOAD OF PEARS
The Hood River Apple Growers,
Onion has begun its shipments of
Baitlett pears for the season. The
first two cars have already been routed
out to Omaha, Neb. Because of the
heavy California crop of this fruit and
recent heavy shipments from Yakima,
the price will be hard to maintain this
year. However, because of the good
quality and known reputation of the
Hood Kiver fruit, the returns should
prove satisfactory.
Early varieties of Hood River apples
will begin moving the latter part of
this month and the first of next to
points in South America. Warner
Sieg, general manager of the Union,
lays that while he was in the East he
found a good demand for western box
fiuit in the South American countries,
and shipments will be made to Brazil
and Argentina. Mr. Sieg will en
ileavor to cause as wide a distribution
of the truit as possible. '1 he South
American markets have never been
worked to any great extent. A few
western apples were sent there last year
and the eagerness with which they were
purchased shows the possibilities ot
the market.
The Davidson Fruit Co. is making
express shipments of pears but as yet
has made no carload shipment.
lhe Valley Bartlett crop of pears
should amount to about 15 cars.
Jupiter Pluvius has agreed to clear
the skies of rain clouds the remainder
of the week, and with a clear, blue
atmosphere, the weather conditions in
tne Upper Val'iy will be ideal for the
Chautauqua. The Tent and Grounds
committee has been busy since Monday
establishing the camp, and the Wood
worth park with its crystal clear
streams arising from the famous
springs bubbling from beneath the
Lava Beds is a veritable tented city.
It is understood that the Tent and
Grounds committee will act as a Board
of Aldermen for the temporary city
and that a mayor will be elected tonight.
The Chautauqua has created a great
al of interest and residents from
every part ol tne valley ana some
from neighboring districts are nocKmg
today to the scene for the next three
days' pleasure. Many people from
this city wont up yesterday.
(Because of the interest that nas
been shown and because their em
ployees may be enabled to attend the
last afternon and evening of the fes
tivities, the three banks of the city
will close their doors and transact no
business after noon Saturday. Secre
tary Ray E. Scott, of the Commercial
club, announces that there will be no
club luncheon at the club rooms Satur
day, since every one is supposed to
dine at Woodworth Park.
The largest crowd will be seen at the
Chautauqua Saturday afternoon and
evening. To accomodate tne nig crowa
and to bring home all of those desiring
to return to the city that evening, the
Mt. Hood Railroad Co. will run a spe
cial train from Parkdale to Hood River
Saturday evening, leaving Parkdale at
11 o clock.
The program follows on the last
PHge.

Hood River is the first Northwestern
fruit district to establish a universal
set of grading rules. While in tne
past the different selling agencies have
used rules very similar, the adoption
by the four principal snipping organi
zations of the Valley of the rules
recently drawn up by Prof. W. H.
Lawrence, county plant pathologist,
will establish a standard grade that
will bo followed by all. The repre
sentatives of the different agencies
met at the Commercial club Monday
afternoon and considered the rules.
Some revisions were made and the
men again gathered yesterday after
noon. The agreement was signed by
C. H. Sproat, manager of the National
Apple Co. ; Wilmer Sieg, manager of
the Apple Growers' Union; and IL F.
Davidson, president and manager of,
the Davidson Fruit Co. The signature
of the representative of the Hood
Kiver Apple & Storage Co. has not yet
been secured. However, this organ
ization favors the plan.
The new rules of the Hood River
Standard pack are given below:
The three grades "extra fancy,"
"fancy" and choice", heretofore in
common use will be recognized. Spe
cial and "orchard run" grades are also
established. Rules governing the dis
posal of cooking and cider apples are
annended. also the specifications and
explanations denning the condition of
the fruit to he placed in me respective
nacks and erades.
Extra fancy. This grade includes
mature, normal shaped apples free from
imperfections. Spitzenbergs 175 size
and larger must be three-fourths (75
per cent) normal, red color ; sizes 185
to 200 inclusive must be 90 per cent
red. All red apples must show at least
three-fourths red color in proportion to
their normal color. Striped or partial
red varieties to sow one-half (50 per
cent) red color. Red cheeked Pippin
and Winter Banana must show a
blushed cheek. The Ortley must show
white, yellow, or waxy. Sizes smaller
than 200 will be excluded from this
grade except of the Jonathan, New
town, Winesap, Arkansas Black, Gano
and Missouri Pippin which must not be
smaller than 225.
Fancy. All apples placed in this
grade must be mature and of a normal
shape. All red apples must be at least
one-fourth (25 per cent) normal, red

Choice. In this grade may be plsced
all merchantable apples not included i
Although the bullet of the 22 revolv
er with which he shot himself at the
office of hi uncle, L. K Morris, last
Friday afternoon still remains in his
bruin, Morse Kays, a 12 year old boy,
still lives and physicians hold out
hopes of his recovery. Mr. Morris and
the lad have their lodging quarters in
the rear of the office and paint shop on
Third street. On the day of the acci
dent the former was away on the
Heights at his work. Although no one
saw tne liny snoot himselt, It 18
thought the frightful wound came as
the result of an accident. Several
passing the oflice a short time before
the shot, saw him playing with the re
volver. Draughtsmen in the office of
City Engineer P. M. Morse in the
Htilhronner building across the street
had seen him handling the weapon.
After the shot pedestrians on the
opposite side of the street saw the boy
rush to the door and wave his hands
and yell. The blood was streaming
down his face, but it was thought that
this was paint. It was thought he was
playing Indian. "I saw him as he
stood in the door," says Dr. H. P.
May, "and remarked to my wife who
was with me that that boy was making
a lot of noise playing Indian, then he
ran to the middle of the street and
fell." Dr. May rushed out to him and
he and others took him to the office of
Dr. E. D. Kanaga, where the wound
was treated before he was carried to
the hospital. E. J. Potts, a trained
nurse, happened to be on the street at
the moment of the accident and he
assisted the physician and has watched
beside the bed of the boy.
The Upper Valley will send a large
number to the Horticultural Chautau
qua, which begins its sessions today.
Many will come and camp at wood
worth Park during the entire time,
while others will attend each day's
session, returning home at night.

25, who bought tickets from John

CHILDREN'S OPERETTE
AFFAIR OF BEAUTY
Discovered about 1 :30 o'clock yester
day morning, a disastrous fire de
stroyed the stock of the Carnes Feed
Co., operated by Wilbur A, Carnes at
the corner of Pine and Twelfth street
and the shoe shop of W. A. Moore.
Elmer Comstock, who operates a bar
ber shop on the opposite side of
Twelfth street, lodged in the rear of
the building, lost a part of hiroom a
furnishings. Members of the Volun
teer Fire Department succeeded in
saving the greater portion of Mr.
Comstock's property.
The hre had made such hea iway
when the alarm was turned in that it
was impossible to check it. The con
flagration started in the front part of
the feed store. The theory is advanced
that it was caused by spontaneous
combustion. However, others declare
that it must have begun from other
causes.
The fire department worked valiantly
in preventing a spread of the flames to
nearby buildings across the street.
With the exception of the blacksmith
shop of K. C. Bucklin the feed store
was the only place of business on the
east side of Twelfth street. Mr.
Carnes has his loss only partially cov
ered by insurance.
the lines of the Home Jeiepnone
Co., which ran beside the destroyed
building were put out ot commission
by the heat of the flames. A crew of
linemen was busy yesterday putting in
a new section of cable at this place.
The building destroyed was the proper
ty of A. L. Emmons, or Portland. It
was covered by insurance.
Mayor Blanchar Joins Junketers
Mayor E. O. Blanchar is spending
this week with the Portland junketers,
who are traveling through central Ore
gon to Lakeview in the southern part
ot the state. Mr. Blanchar is making
the trip with Fred Stanley, president
of the First National Bank, 'lhe party
will pass through Redmond, Bend and
other central Oregon cities.
With a half hundred little girls in
the drills and figures, the Operette
uresented last Friday evening and Sat'
urdav afternoon at the Heilbronner
hall was one of the most exquisitely
pretty events of its kind ever seen
here. The children, who were drilled
by Mrs. K.'I.ee Black, of Odell, were
dressed as fairies and their freshness
and beauty were impressive as they
sane their songs in quaint, childish
voices and did
thev hsd learnt d well.
Small Boy Injured by Fall

H. C. Deitz, fell from the delivery
