DISASTER SHOWS OF
LOSS OF REPUTATION
New York, April 10, litis.
Editor Glacier: 1 am in receipt of a
clipping from a llf od Kiver newspaper,
which piotes Mr. Hoot's criticism of
llooil Kiver apples which found tlii'ir
way to New Yoik markets Ho-' wirrlt r.
Jn view of the ail-ril.sorhihg interest
attached to this jmrt iiul;ir phase of ttie
proposed umnlttninat'oi., may I ai-k fnr
the privilege "t a low remarks on my
own ohserv::tioh'.'
I am a i ed - in-the wool ai.d jatd
wide ht 1 if v r in the in-nclici lit results
ohtaineel fron' eating upples. ror
years 1 have eaten two, tliree and rrwre
npilfl daily. Strictly speaking, ti c
fact that 1 own a ranch in llm.d Kiver
is directly traceable to this predilection
for the apple. For, in former years,
whenever 1 asked the fruit dealer,
"Where do the best applet come from?"
he would promptly say, "Krom Hood
Itivcr, Oregon." And when I finally
got sufficiently interested tu look more
closely into the matter, and put the
same question to the large eommisHion
houses, mid the unswer was invariably
"from Hood Kiver." And the apples
pent out from Hood River certainly did
bear out the information in every in
stance. I'aek, grade, color, everything
was perfect. Next, I determined to
ascertiin tlio cause of this remarkable
fame of Hood Kiver as an apple grow
ing loeulity. I soon realized that very
good apples were being raised else
where, in Washington, in Virginia, in
fact in my own state of New York.
Hut nowhere did the growers enjoy so
perfect an organization as in lined
Kiver.
And thus, in spite of the excessive
prices charged for Hood liiver land as
compared to prevailing prices in Vir
ginia or New York slate, 1 bought my
ranch in the Middle Valley. I argued
that although I could secure equally
good apple lard in New York state at
one-third, or one-quarter, of Hood
Kivcr's prices, I probably would never
live to see the day, when the product
of my New York orchard would be
handled by an organization such iih I
found in Hood Uiver; and that in con
sequence, 1 could never hope to realize
one half hh much for my New York
product as for my Hood Kiver product
despite the enormous difference in
freight charges. I dare say that the
majority of eastern people who now
own Hood Kivre ranches were uetuated
by similar motives.
Hut if 1 had not looked into the apple
ranch proposition until this or last
winter, I certainly should not have
been tempted to even pay Hood Kiver
a visit on a possible inspection tour.
For and it pains me to state the cold
factthe majority of Hood Kiver packs
which came under tny observation were
beneath criticism. Like Mr. Knot, 1
again and again have seen apples
marked "Extra Fancy" which in the
east would be fed to the pigs. On the
other hand, 1 have not come across a
Hinglo box of tipples raised elsewhere
which did not come up to the highest
standards concerning pack, color, uni
form size, etc. As a BUre and swift
retribution, the average dealer, com
pelled by bis customers, has "changed
about face" and is now tillering for
Bale, line, very line, apples mined part
ly in other parts of Oregon, but princi
pally in other slates. Upon inquiry, he
will inform you that his customers no
longer will accept the Hood Uiver
product. Of course, there are excep
tions; thus, for instance, hut yester
day, 1 bought some Hood Kiver valley
Yellow Ncwtowns, winch were marked
"Special" anil packed by the fruit
growers' association, which fully caint
up to the old Hood Uiver standard.
(I'arentheticallv, 1 ought to state ric,ht
hero, that none of the poor stull 1 saw
Hero had been packed by the ussocin
tion.)
1 said above, that I certainly would
riot have settled in Hood Kiver h
keen such poor npplea from the valley
earlier. 1 will go farther ninl add,
that 1 most surely will sell my ranch
even at a loss, rather than remain in a
community which is so blind to its own
interests, as to throw to the winds that
precious distinction of being the "arin
tocratic ' apple producing dihtrict of
the world as though such tlist inction
were jutst so much rubbish. This does
not mean to say that Hood Kiver can
not worry along without me. Hut it
does mean that unless old standards
are re established, and that right soon,
the earnest ulfnrts of the Commercial
club in inducing desirable, w ide awake
people to locate in Hood Kive r must of
necessity be defeated.
r to be still more to the point; it
means that 1, personally, who have
been si iging the praises of Hood Kiver
and its apples on every possible and
impossible occasion, can no longer
conscientiously do bo. 1 note that Mr.
Hoot feels as 1 do. Very likely, there
are many others in a similar unpleas
ant frame of mind. And can a com
inunity thrive when its wn members:
have lost their enthusiasm?
Sincp locating in Hood Kiver a year
Mid a half ago, I have spent thousands
of dollars tn iniprovemens, etc., most
of which money remained right in Hood
Kiver. If I remain, 1 undoubtedly shall
upend many thousands more, before my
apple trees come into bearing. By in
lerence, then, tins is not only a ques
tion of successful or unsuccessful apple
raising; rattier, :i is a vital questior
for the whole valley, the whole com
munity, for every merchant, every
mechanic, every laborer, every bank,
every hotel, 'lake the fame of Hood
Kiver away and what have you left? A
lot of mortgaged ranches, on which the
poor ranchman can't even pay the in
terest, much less pay oil" his mortgage;
Mores which can't pay expenses ; ho
tels, which go into the hands of the
receiver, etc. Hut it is not too late to
call a halt! Even now, the clerks (not
the owners) at the fruit stores will tell
you that his line Wenathte am) Y'akima
npples are from Hood Kiver, although
the labels on the box prove him to lie
a liar; so strong even to this day is
the spell of the old Hood Kiver fame.
I have related what I found without
exaggeration. 1 love the valley for its
matchless beauty, and I grealy admire
the class of people who make up the
community.
Hut one ear not raise Rppk-s profit
nhlv rclvinv on scenic beauty. Arid, I
i for'one, could r, it !!"nl to raise a pies
i at a loss. I'rohubly there are others.
And unless those staialards are re
established on which the txct ssive
values in Hood Kiver were based, and
IhiIv himerl the bieh investment will
! no longer be justiliid by' the returns,
i Then what? 1 oevit aluy, land values
will collapse, and, pending the process
! of rc-adjustme nt, every man, woman
I i.d child in the valley will l.a'.e to pay
the heavy penalty lor the rciKi.ss
squandering of Hood Kivcr's enviable
fame, which has gone on unchecked for
tw; years past. Yours truly,
F. X. Anns.

hour entertained the club right royally
with his stories of Indian legends and
folk lore. Mr. Smith, having heard
these stories directly from the Indians,
was able to give them the real touch of
that makes them so interesting. 'I he
legends were principally those sur
rounding the Columbia river and the
vicinity of Hood Kiver, and the next
time the club members travels along
the river, the various places of interest
will be filled with new meanings and
the glories will neuin more wonderful.
It was an evening long to be remem

earty vote of thanks for the pleasure
he had given each member.

Hoggins and Koger Moe. Walter Shay
in d Harry Clapp, high school alumni,

Servant Problem Worries
Many Hood liiver housewives have
been worried by the servant problem.
Indeed, there is no town, perhaps, in
the state that has such a lack of ser
vant girls. However, this reputation
has been made known throughout the
state through the press, and Secretary
Scott, of the Commercial club, is re
ceiving letters from girls and women
looking for situations. He recently
received a letter from a young stenog
rapher in Portland, who is desirous of
getting a place as domestic servant in
a ranch home.

Apple Shippers Select Cleveland J
Hecauso it could not furnish the nec- j
essary accommodation at the required j
time, Atlantic City has lost the com- j
ing convention of the International
Apple Shippers' Association, and ;
Cleveland has secured the coveted
prize.
The convention will be held on Aug.
fi, 7 and H. The necessity of altering
the place of meeting from the New
Jersey seaside resort to Cleveland be
came apparent to President Loomis
and Secretary Phillips when they vis
ited Atlantic City several weeks ago
and canvassed the situation. The
change, however, was not decided on
until Friday, March 21, when the exec
utive committee met at the new Salter
hotel in Cleveland and voted unani
mously in favor of Cleveland for the
next convention.
Burglars Enter Young's Meat Market
A window of the Central Meat Mar
ket operated by P. C. Young on Oak
street was smashed Saturday or Sunday
night, a wire screen cut anil the build
ing entered. However, the burglars
did not secure any money or provisions.
It seems that they were frightened
away and made a hasty exit.
Mr. Young found some kind of yellow
powder scattered over the floor, which
be thinks may have been some kind of
an explosive with which the burglar
intended blowing his safe. Ho was
advised by friends Monday to apply
a match to see if it would shoot.
However, ho refused to experiment
with the powder.
Four Gettysburg Veterans Here
Four veterans of the Union army
who paricipated in the decisive conflict
at (iettysburg, the tiltieth anniversary
of which will be celebrated this year
lij a reunion of both the soldiers of the
North and South, are now residing in
the Hood Kiver valley. 'The veterans
are: Fred Dietz, James Wallace, Joel
Straub and J. M. Morse. Unless Mr.
Wallace decides to make the journey
back to the historic liold, none of the
four old soldiers from this city will at
tend the reunion.

Small Apple an Outlaw
(By Hymun Cohen)
The extremely small apple has no
place in the market. It is an outcast,
and whenever it enters the trade is
much of an outlaw and thoroughly de
moralizes conditions. It is just as
much of an outlaw as Jthe man who
holds another up anil takes his money.
While the highwayman takes your
money iifyour sight, the small apple is
never worth the price, no matter who
it is.
The apple market is ending its sea
son, and thereis one feature that is
most prominent in the minds of those
that that are in closest touch with the
situation. There is no place in the
trade for the smallest sizes. Beyond
the 4J tier there is absolutely no need
to try to market an apple. Smaller
than 4J tier the'apple marketjwill not
respond to a price that will be suffici
ently high to enable the shipper and
producer to secure a profit.
The history of the apple market dur
ing the season was nothing but grief.
1; was grief to all that had anything
U do with the market It was fully as
unprotfiable for the man who bought
or resold he apples as it was for the
producer although up to this time the
latter has considered that he alone was
the man who was hurt by the ruinous
values that have been in effect all sea
son. There was just one thing wrong
with the apple market during the sea
son. It stands out;prominently above
everything else in the trade. It can
be distinguished as the demoralizer of
the piice and demand by anyone who is
willing to t.ike a look.
The small apple stands convicted of
the crime of ruining the trade of the
entire world during the season. There
were not too many apples produced. It
was not the big crop that caused a
general stagnation in the demand at
all leading world's centers. It was
through no lack of the public's appre
ciation of the value of apples as a
food. It was the wee bit of an apple
that run five tier, or even more, to
the box that created havoc with the
trade generally. Any apple dealer will
tell you that the hardest job be ever
encountered was the selling of small
sized apples during the last season.
There is always a demand for good
si2es, but it is extremely a rare occur
rence when the public will buy small
sized fruit. The small apple is the
outlaw of the trade, and is treated as
such. Producers made their greatest
mistake during the year when they
made any decided effort to market
their small sized apples in boxes. The
fruit should never have been offered to
consumers at all in its original sttte.
The small apple should have gone ta
the cider mills and to the vinegar
plants. They would bring as much
there as any of the fruit, while in the
markets thej are not wanted at all.
Some producers and shippers know this
to their sorrow, because they are in
some instances being called upon to
make good to the seller a portion of
the freight charge. In the open mar
ket they netted the producer a loss and
the handler a crop of trouble that
caused his hair to grow prematurely
gray.
