STREET IMPROVE MENT CONTINUES CT I TV eTorrr nn vrDc niTiTinv MATE STREET OWNERS PETITION Sherman Avenue Will Be Improved - Ma cadam Rushed-Davidson Refuses Place on the Council The council meeting now only twice eacn monin, the business piles up to a greater extent thsn formerly, and at Monday evening a meeting of the city f. thers, the session was mads unusual ly long because of the consideration of a number of new ordinances. Mayor Blanchar'bcing out of the city, having gone 10 lorvams to attend the State Rankers' Convention there, Councilman Staten, president of the. council, pre sided. Streets and street improvement con tinue the all important topic, and the monuay nigra ordinances dealt with further improvement of the streets of the business sections of the city. An ordinance calling for the macadamizing of Ninth street between Oak and State passed its first reading. An ordinance wss passed repealing ordinances pro viding for street improvement of Ninth streets The council had already started an ordinance providing for this, work, when it was learned that in the year Utoy the city dads had planned a similar work, and the books of the city would have been burdened with two ordi nances providing for very similar measures. It was decided to wipe all past municipal action from the slate and begin anew. I'roperty owners alonir State street petitioned the council orally, asking that they be allowed to put in curbs in front of their places and fill in the space intervening between the gutters and where the macadam will end with hard surface. The ordinance governing this improvement calls for a macadam roadway 32 feet wide and the improve ment does not extend from eurh tn curb. The residents along the street seemed generally in favor of the addi tional improvement in front of their property, and expressed a willingness to bear the expense of it. fc.. O. Hall is now rushme the work of macadamizing Cascade street, the contract having been awarded to him for the improvement of State and Ch. cade streets, at a price of $25,210, Ex cavation and grading have been com pleted and wagons and teams are now hauling crushed stone along the street. me Kcnance Construction (V will not be able to complete the paving con tract, the time limit of which exrired Tuesday. However, the members of the contracting concern have assured the city that they will have complied with the terms of the agreement, ex-i cept as to time limit, within a week from next Saturday. A communication has been received from the manufacturers of the new fire bell recently ordered by the council, who state that the bell has been shipped from Baltimore and should ar rive bete soon. Tn fill the vacancy left in the mem-ner.-hip of the council, when Ceo. W. Ihomson refused to accept election to the body, P. S. Davidson wbb elected to the position Monday night. Mr. Davidson has been a resident of the city for a number of years and has been connected with a number of local business enterprises. He is one of the largest orchard owners in the valley. However, Mr. Davidson declares that he will be unable to accept the duties imposed on him by the council on account of the demands of other business. ' The council was also petitioned by the residents south of State strect.who asked that they , be allowed to make improvements of Sherman avenue. Una petition, as well as that relative to the State street improvement, was granted. NEW RULES MAKE sugiix CHANCES The greatest change that an expert fruit man will note in the grading rules, adopted last week by the trus tees of the North Pacific Fruit Distrib utors and their chief inspectors who met at Spokane, is that there is a greater latitude between the extra fancy and the fancy gradesi Market men declare that the consumers of this fruit have scarcely been able to tell the difference between the two grades. The new rules will make more perfect the extra fancy apples and give the grower room to market less handsome fruit in the fancy grades. With this slight exception and the innovation of the single grade, flood River, Yakima, Wenatchee and Rogue River were gov erned to a great extent by this rule last year. The single grade has been devised for the purpose of allowing the grower to dispose of apples of common variety. It will be composed of apples of the extra fancy and fancy grades packed together. It will correspond to the old field run grading. The latter, however, allowed practically anythiing taken from the trees to go into the box. Wilmer Kieir one nf thfl thrpA Rules managers of the Distributors, who has just returned from Spokane, where he has been deliberating with his aesoci ates making ready for the year's mar keting, which will begin with the cher ry crop, brought back the first copies of the grading rules seen here.

Endorsements Your executive com mittee advises the use of the regular northwestern standard box in all sec tions, inside measurements 10JxllJxl8 with solid ends. We believe that we should make this the uniform box as standard in all sections. Inasmuch as the laws as well as the trade require ments will force us to sell our apples by numerical count, we abolish the system of designating or manifesting fruit by tiers and we employ the num erical system exclusively hereafter. The recognized and endorsed counts for Northwestern standard pack are as follows : 30, 45, 48, 50, M, 72, HO, 88, 90, 104. 112, 113, 125, 130, 150, 103, 175, m, 200, 213, 225.

Ben son, the wealthy lumberman of Port land, having been depleted, the con victs, who hHve been working on the Portland-Hood River automobile road at Camp Benson near Wyeth have been removed from the county and are now at work buildine roads in central (W. gon. However, with the exception of a few narrow places at the foot of the gorge, where the highway and the line of the O.-W. K. & N. Co. will hava to divide thu narrow passage between them, the roadbed is graded and but i title more work is necessary to make the highway, which will eventually be come one of the state's most noted boulevards, passable between this city and Cascade Locks. The residents of this town have urged that the road be opened in order that they may have a wagon route to the county seat. The convicts have been at work un the road for about three weeks more than a year. They began their task May 23, UU2. when a number of local officials and County Engineer Kay were present. At a meeting of the county commis sioners here Inst Friday, when Wells A. Bell came down from The Dalles to go over the recent report of the view ers with the officials, the report was adpoted. The owners of the land through which the road, as petitioned by A. O. Adams and others will pass, were given nominal damages of $1 each. Among those who'will receive this sum are the O.-W. R. '& N. Co. and the United States government. However, Judge Castner and the county commissioners, G. A. McCurdy and John R. Putnam, have adopted the policy of not expending any more on the .route until a definite argcement is reached with the O.-W. R. & N. Co. They were offered the convicts by Governor West. However, the prison ers were not accented, the of!lciuln preferring to wait until an argcement had been entered with the railroad company. As Judge Castner said: We might proceed to work and he tied up by an injunction, and we prefer to wait and begin the task atfer wa know on just what ground we stand." EIGHTEEN STRAW- BERRIES FILL BOX When 18 strawberries fill a box, the growers begin to wonder when they will have to begin packing the fruit in boxes somewhat nearer the sie of arc- pie boxes. Such fruit was displayed in the show window of W. F. Larawav Saturday. It was grown by Oscar Van derbilt on his East Side ranch. The fruit was of the Goodell variety. "'I did not take any particular tiains in licking out the box of berries that I irought to town. Indeed, the earlier fruit was larger than that disnlaved." says Mr. Vanderbilt, "and the variety keeps well. I put several boxes in my refrigeartor Friday before last and wo ate them the next Tuesday. They were Mr. Vanderbilt is receiving numerous applications for plants from the new variety. The Ouk Grove comumty also turns out enormous berries of the new vari ety. J. W. Palmer was the first to grow the variety there. This year W. E. King, of the Rainbow ranch, has fiHii a tract of them in full bearing. Mr. King brought in a number of boxes of this delicious fruit last week, and it was put on exhibition and of ered for sale at Bragg's. The berries attracted no small amount of attention and were quickly purchased. All who secured boxes of them declare that they had an excellent flnfor. Mr. King calls his fruit the "Big King" berries. Sixteen of Mr. King's berries tilled a box. ASSOCIATION SELLS ENTIRE CHERRY CROP Hood River's entire cherry crop has been sold to Chicago fruit merchants, and as fast as the fruit is ripe and harvested it will be shipped to the fruit eaters of the Windy City. The deal was announced Monday attemoon by Wilmer Sieg, sales manager of the Association, who stated that the Rings and Lamberts would be packed at the local Union warehouse of the Associa tion, while the Royal Amies and Black Iti'pubiicans will be shipped in bulk to the Chicago purchasers. When the cherries begin to ripen the latter part of this week, and the bulk of the crop begins to roll in, there will he a great demand for packers at the Union house. The most of the pack ing will probably be done by "girls, and applications for this work should be made to the office of the Apple Grow ers Association. The cherries that are to be'shipped in bulk will be packed in 24-box straw berry crates. MRS. ARMSTRONG HAS 110 KINDS OF ROSES Undoubtedly the frost beautiful rose garden now to be seen in Hood River is that of Mrs. J. W. Armstrong, whose home is on Fourth street on the Heights.
