Gwin, munafter of the North west Fruit Exchange, in a recent ad ilreBi before the members of the WhhIi' inton Horticultural jAsaocitition, pro posed Rome unique methods of selling apples. After advancing the plans for more extensive advertming, he fcaiil in part: "The next move would be to select one state in the union'in which to test the plan. Lot us say Indiana, as the state is not only rich und populous, hut at the same time one of the poorest consumers of box apples in the Union, relatively. IndiHimpolis is a rich, prosperous city of iiM.GfiO inhabitants. Start, say, in Indianapolis, with the special brand of Jonathans and Grimes (olden. I would ship several carloads of the brand to Indianapolis, either placing them in storage temporarily or else timing their arrival conveniently. "The next step would be to send one or two thoroughly trained, experienced specialty salesmen there. I could lay my hands on just the right men in a moment. I would have a thorough canvass of the retail grocery trade made, and also the fruiterer trade. There is about one grocery store to every 2Ull of the population, fruiterers additional. This would liuiku 1108 groceries alone in Indianapolis. Not over one-quarter to one-half of these would be good stores in good parts of town, hay about 1003 in all. The 'live wire' salesmen can work about i!,r gro cers in a day if he has a quick talking proposition which this would he. In two weeks' work one iiibii could cover the town pretty thoroughly. "Have this salesman explain to the grocer the extraordinary quality, ap pearance and merchantability of the product, the convenience of the pack ago, the advantage of co-operating with the producers to work up a box trade, which would avoid measuring, bags, string, etc., and save him money all around. Under such circumstances conditions he could afford to handle the fruit at a reasonable profit, especially as there would be no further waste or loss by decay. Without going farther into the argument, sullice to'siiy that a 'whirlwind campaign' could.be made. "Explain to the grocer that on a cer tain morning a, full-page 'ad' will ap pear in the Indianapolis papers, writ ten by an expert, so as to command instant attention by every housekeeper in town. And that in that ad. a full list of the grocers and fruiterers who can supply the fruit will also appear. That is a good ad. for the dealer. That advertisement will state the price per box at which the consumer can buy this brand from the grocer. That would be the first intelligent step ever taken by northwestern producers to regulate the profit of the retailer, and it would be doing it in a way that would not make the retailer our enemy for life, but would have his full ap proval. "Then take the order of the retailer for five, ten, 15 or 25 boxes of the ad vertised brand for delivery through his wholesale grocer or wholesale fruit merchant. Perhaps under this system the wholesale grocers throughout the country generally could be induced to carry boxed apples, like the wholesale grocers in Texas do now. If so, it would be another big advanage gained, as the wholesale grocers would not carry any but the advertised brand. "then assemble these orders on the yr("". j.iMpq .l-i;... serl the j .Olrll tol H inl ''u.'. Cl.-LIV over and above what we have sold for him. Iiy taking the retailers' orders at a fixed price you can then allow the jobbers a fair price margin of profit and no more, but this time you have not only limited his profit but you have forced him to buy, and you have done it all without making him your enemy for life, but have mad of him, too, a co-operator. "In conjunction with this campaign if the advertising appropriation per mitted it would bu well to have a couple of well-trained girl demonstra tors, who cuold be dressed in costume to represent the western girl ; perhaps in cow-girl costume. Merely walking along the street would set the whole town buzzing. Have them take bas kets of sample apples and go from house to house in the uetter sections of the city, get interviews with the house wivcs.lcave a litlu cookbook filled with recipes, and also with some needed ed ucational matter on varieties, have her sample an apple of the sort we are selling, and then take her order on her nearest grocer for a box or two. PINE GROVE . Rev. Carson tilled the pulpit at Odell last Sunday morning. In the evening he preached at l ine drove. Sleighing parties are very much in evidnece the past week. Several from the vicinity attended the Union church at Odell Sunday ev ening and listend to an excellent ser mon by Rev. Hargreaves, of Hood River. Thursday evening the Sunflower class ana their mends enjoyed a merry sleigh ride until 9:30, when they ail gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs, MacPonald, by inivtation, and were treated to a nice supper, chicken pie and all the good things that go with it. A delightful time was shared by all. J. G. Jarvis, wife and little son, Willunt Ynt Mrmwt fritm Pnrtluml luut Saturday evening, after an absence of nearly two weeks. Mabry Jackson had the misfortune to lose a valuable horse last Friday afternoon. The Amicus club met with Mrs. Joe Vannier Jan. H, in a very pleasant ses sion. The Sunflower class held a song ser vice at the home of their teacher, Mrs. J. MacPonald, for the benefit of her mother, Mrs. Kirk, at the close of the Sunday school last Sunday morning. Recently Mrs. J. O. Mark received the sad tidings of the death of her brother, Mr. Hoover, who resided in Montana, and accompanied by her hus band left at once to attend the funeral, being absent several days. A. I. Mason, on his return from Port land, gave a good report of the good mull mpptinp und of tho hflntiilt't lip nt- tended bv special invitation, a repre sentative of the grange. He said no wine or any kind of intoxicant was served at the banquet. Peculiarities of Parcel Post The local pot (office has received a number of inquiries as to whether or not W hite Salmon is in the 50 mile tone or the 150 mile parcel post tone. Al though the city is but a mile or two away, parcels transported by mail travel a distance of 150 miles, going from here to Portland and back up on the North Rank line. However, the neighboring city is considered in the .c H Pirpft Frrt tPf flP l .... i .. I wi . u.v. WHITE 8ALMON. (Krom the K.nterprlBe) The town was gold out of sleighs the first of the week, the fall of snow hav ing made them a popular mode of con veyance. The Major Creek Lumber Cu. has been busy the past two weeks trans porting and placing an addition to the big Bmokestack of the mill, which will raise it to a height of K!5 feet and place it in the clear for a good draught. Installation of officers, followed by a slipper provided by the ladies of the Eastern Star, attracted about titty to Masonic hall Monday night, January 13. It was the annual event of the lodge and a success in every way. Opening in the degree of Master Mason the lodge, with Seaman Rurtis in the East, proceeded to the installa tion of the following: John (J. Wyers, worshipful master; R. Field, senior warden; A. H. (Jroshong, secretary ; L. J. Wolfard, treasurer; li. M. Rus sell, senior deacon; Chester Craig, jun ior deacon ; J, C. Maclnnes and F. C. DunniclilT, senior and junior stewards C. VV. Dewey, tyler. When the door is opened at the main mess hall at the dam there is a rush for the tables which cannot be with stood and if a man were to go down he would suiter severely. Recently one of the men in front was shoved into the heHd of a rail. Dozens of men behind were pushing as hard as a lot of des perate football players and the conse quence was that the man is seriously injured internally and may not live. A human skull with a decidedly va cant look greeted the editor of this paper when he entered the office one day last week. Alongside was a paid up subscription, which clearly indicated that if there were any connection be tween the two it was no dead head into whose empty sockets we gazed. It had come from the snnd pit on the flat be low. We sent for Jake Hunt and he failed to recognize it as ono of his friends, but thought it might be Leaves in the Wind, a noted beauty of 10 years ago. The skull is that of an early Chi nook. There is little forehead because of the custom of the coast Indians to bind a board in such a way that it pressed the skull back and left no fore head, only a wide fiat head. It was anything but a levelheaded idea. W. Scott Coe, wife and daughter, Earl Coe and bride, arrived in White Salmon last week and left for their homes 12 miles northeast of this place. They spent nearly two months in Min neapolis, going back for the wedding of Earl to a former classmate. Mr. Coe was left in charge of the Washing ton state txhibit of the Northwest Land Show much of the time'and never let an opportunity slip to get in a good word for this section. He talked with railroad men about canneries, and found that the railway is taking a real interest in the matter and encouraged Mr. Coe in the idea that an experi mental station might be secured for this place. The requirement is the donation of five acres of land near town. A competent man would be placed in charge and ctTort made to find the best way of making the soil yield its utmost returns. If anyone, therefore, has five acres he isn't using here is a chance to become a philan thropist. County Court Declares District The members of the count v pir.irt Judge Ceo. R. Castner, John "h?
