MANUFACTURERS
WILL VISIT
SECOND CHAUTAUQUA DRAWS THEM
Mrs. Weatherred Makes Arrangements
Big fpper Valley Summer Celebra
tion Interests Portlanders
"Oregon Manufacturers Day" and
"Home Industries Day" has been
changed from Friday of Chautauqua
week to Saturday, the last day, in or
der that the visiting manufacturers,
merchants and others who will be at
tracted here on that day will be able
to remain over in the valley on Sun
day. Mrs. Edith Tozier-Weatherred.
of the Oregon Manufacturers Associa
tion, camo up last Friday to confer
with Manager Kavhn, of the chautau
qu and to make arrangements for the
dav.
Mrs. Weatherred, who with her
brother, Albert lozier, has recently
been here visiting her ranch in the Dee
vicinity, declares that the Association
is enthusiastic over the possibilities
ottered by the Uiautauqua Assembly.
"Not only because 1 am interested in
the Hood River valley on account of
having property here," said Mrs.
Weatherred, "but because of the fact
that 1 thi'-k the community is deserv
ing of the attention of the whole state,
shall 1 give the local 'Home Products
Day' as much of my enthusiasm and
e (Torts as possible. The manufacturers
will be glad to come here to take the
outing and to talk with the local orch
ard in ts."
The Oregon Manufacturers' Associa
tion has recently inaugurated a cam
paign throughout the state for the.
betterment and extension of home in
dustries, and for the advocacy of the
use of home made products. As a chief
apostle to carry this message to the
people, Mrs. Weatherred is now visit
ing the various localities of the state.
She left here last Saturday for Pendle
ton. On the day of the coming of the
manufacturers, as on other days of the
chautauqua festivities, only home
grown, Hood Kiver products will be
used by the commissary department of
the association, and menus will be
printed by home shops on Oregon man
ufactured paper.
The interest in the big Hood River
valley entertainment is constantly
growing. Mosier people, Underwood
folks and the residents of W hite Salm
on are taking an interest. The 150
tent thut will be provided by Manager
Ravlin will be crowded, from all indi
cations, and the tent hotel will do a
big business.
When the Devil was sowing rocks
in the region of the Upper Valley,"
said a rancher last year, "hejbroke his
apron string and the lava beds were
formed. loose unique words express
very well the way any one might feel
on coining out of the beautiful Wood
worth park, where the chautauqua is
held, and sighting for the first time
the great barrier of heaped up volcanic
formed stones the acres and acres of
them, formed there by the cooling of
molten lava. No more ideal spot can
be imagined for an entertainment such
as the chautauqua. Underneath the
jagged rock beds, glaciers have been
1'or ages pushing their icy noses, and
melting there term the sources of the
famous lava springs, which have wat
ered the area of the park for the past
centuries, nourishing the trees that
now rise there to shelter the tents of
the merrymakers.
At the west end of the park the Mid
dle Fork of the Hood river flows.
Sheltered by the boughs of many
maples, a narrow beach stretches be
side the murmuring stream here and
last summer the devotees of Bridge had
their tables and chairs carried to the
inviting nook and spent the afternoons
of the chautauqua week, playing to
their hearts content, their thoughts of
the intricacies of the game lulled by
the music of the dashing water.
With the date of the opening of the
chautauqua less than four weeks away,
preparations for the encampment are
commencing to hum. Applications for
accommodations are being recevied at
a lively rate and there is already every
prospect of a large attendance through
out the week. Chairman Marshall, of
the grounds committee, willl establish
his permanent camp on the grounds
this week and will be strictly on the
job from now until the chautauqua is
in full swing. A large force of men is
now engaged in constructing the new
road into the encampment, while on
Monday work will be started on the
installation of the electrical plant.
Four large dynamos will be uesd this
year which will insure plenty of light
throughout the entire camp.
Most of the details for the operation
of the Commissary have been worked
out and finally decided upon. J. H.
Leighton, one of the most successful
restaurant men of Portland, who has
an orchard in the Oak Grove district,
will send his head chef up for chautau
qua week to assume charge of the culi
nary operations of the commissary. As
a nonresident Hood Kiverite, Leighton
has taken a deep interest in the event
this year and has been of great assist
ance to the committee in outlining a
Klan of action. On his suggestion it
as been decided to barbecue all meats
served at the encampment, as a great
improvement over the ordinary method
of roasting. Breakfast this year will
be served a la carte instead of the
straight 60 cent price that prevailed
at the last encampment.
W. E. King, of the Oak Grove dist
rict is fattening a fine home grown,
corn fed hoir for chautauuua week.
j which will form a special feature of
the Thursday night dinner in the shape
of delicious roast pork. The Friday
night dinner special will be barbecued
prime beef from a prize steer, while
on Saturday night a genuine southern
fried spring chicken dinner will be
served, together with corn fritters and
ice cream as added features. It is the
desire of the Chautauqua Association
to run the table more as an advertise
ment for Hood River than fur profit.
A special orchestra of seven pieces
has been engaged for the week, to
play on all occasions where music is
required. For the musical program on
Thursday night, this will be augmented
by 12 pieces, which will include a cor
net, trombone, flute, clarinet, four vio
lins, cello, snare drum, bass drum and
piano. Another feature of the musical
night will be the first Hood River ap
pearance of Mrs. J. F. Beaumont, of
Portland, who waa considered one of
the most eminent pianists of Chicago.
Her rendition of the masterpieces of
the most noted composers from mem
ory is said to be truly marvelous.
W. H. Sylvester, the popular young
orchardist of Willow Flat, has been
engaged as chief clerk at the chautau
qua headquarters on the grounds. The
position is similar to that of a hotel
clerk and in an affair of this sort, is
considered one of especial importance.
The transportation from Parkdale to
the grounds will be handled much bet
ter this year than it was last. An
automobile bus with a capacity of 40
passengers will be in operation, mak
ing the run to the grounds in l.r min
utes. The rate for the round trip will
be 25 cents.
Prof. C. D. Thompson, the member
of the program committee in charge of
the speakers, is in Salem this week,
conferring with Borne of the prospec
tive oratorical talent. Upon his return
Saturday the complete horticultural and
domestic science program will be in
readiness for announcement.
AUTO PARADE TO BE
FEATURE OF FOURTH
The decorated automobile parade will
be the most interesting feature of the
Fourth of July celebration here. R. K.
Scott, secretary of the Commercial
club, last Saturday mailed postals to
all valley automobile owners, urging
them to decorate their machines and
fill them with children. With the ex
ception of the drivers not an old man
or woman will be allowed in the auto
mobile parade. "Especially do we
want children who never had an auto
moblie ride," says Mr. Scott.
While no prizes will be offered to
those with the most handsomely decor
ated cars, the most comically decorated
ones will cause their owners to be the
recipients of rewards. Prizes of $7.50
and $5 will be given for the comical
cars.
The waters of the Columbia will have
so receded that boats from the lower
river may be brought through the lock
at the Cascades and these wi 1 bring
many merrymakers from adjoining
cities.
The day will be enlivened lv an ad
dress to be delivered by John McCourt,
a popular young attorney of Portland,
who is said to be one of the best ora
tors in the state. Prof. L. F. Hender
son, who is well known for his ability
for reading will read the Declaiation
of Independence.
1 he court house green will form an
amphitheatre, where the spectators
may sit and watch the sports on State
street. The automobile parade will
form on the Heights and pass over the
principal streets there, coming down
the hill to the city and thence to the
courthouse green, where the orations
and public exercises will be held.

LIGHTCOMPANIES STILL
COMPETE, SAYS HALL
While the tying in of the eletrical
nd power systems here at the corner
of Ninth and June streets last week
strengtho ed the belief of many that
the two systems had come under one
management, Albert Hall, manager of
the Hood River Gas & Electric Co., the
subsidiary concern of the Pacific Power
& Light Co. here, declared that the
two systems will continue the competi
tion and their efforts for local custom,
although the action of the Railroad
Commission has put a cessation to any
rate cutting between the two compa
nies. Mr. Hall exhibited a copy of a
contract that had been signed by the
officials of the two companies, each
agreeing to furnish to the other sur
plus energy at a rate of 45 cents per
kilowatt hour.
"The systems have been tied, "says
Mr. Hall, "in order that we may help
each other out in case of an emerg
ency." According to the contract each
company has access to the tools and
apparatus of the other.
The Pacific Power & Light Co. has
connected its line extending from this
city to The Dalles with that extending
from the latter city to the Tygh Valley
plant and the lines of eastern Oregon
and Washington. All of the standard
trunk lines of the company carry a
current of CO.OOO volts.
J.L. CARTER ELECTED
PIONEER PRESIDENT
J. L. Carter, whose orchard homo is
on the East Side at tho top of the long
grade leading up from the city, was
elected president of the Oregon Pio
neers' Association, which met in Port
land last week. Mr. Carter is a native
Gregorian, having been born in Marion
county near the old mission. He
has resided in Hood River county for
the past 11 years. Mr. Carter was a
member of the lower house of the Ore
gon legislature four years ago.
The new president of the Pioneer
Associaton is one of the most progres
sive of loci I fiuit men. He has long
been a prominent member of the Ore
gon Historical Society and is now one
of the trustees of that organization.
Mr. Carter, accompanied by Mrs.
Carter, who had been with him to at
tend the annual meeting, returned
I home Monday.
FRU1TRETURNS
ASSOCIATION ADOPTS NEW POLICY
Monthly Returns will be Made-Apple &
Storage Co. Joins Association Which
Now Controls 95 'a of Tonnage
A new policy, an innovation in the
methods of fruit selling associations,
will be instituted here by the Apple
Growers' Association Hood River's
amalgamated selling agencies which
will handle the local fruit crops
through the North Pacific F'ruit Dis
tributors, and by the tenth of every
month prorata returns will be made on
all of the fruits sold during the previ
ous month. For instance, if the Asso
ciation makes the sale of 15,000 boxes
of Spitzenburg apples out of 100,000
which it is handling, the growers who
form this pool will receive pro rata
amounts of the month's sale, and so on
each month until the entire pool is dis
posed of. Heretofore the growers have
been forced to wait until late in the
spring months after the entire pool wa
cleaned up. and often the retarded set
tlements have caused the orchardists
to be pinched for want of funds.
With tach monthly return, the grower
will be also furnished with an itemized
statement of the sales of the fruit.
The local associtaion, since the affili
ation of the Hood River Apple & Stor
age Co., which has just been an
nounced, now controls a tonnage of 95
per cent of the total output of the val
ley. The Apple & Storage Co., which
is owned by a number of the larger
growers of the Van Horn district,
will take charge of all shipments
of fruit of that neighborhood in one of
the valley's most thickly settled and
productive district, storing and for
warding all fruit that will be sent out
from there. "This," said II. F. Da
vidson ami Wilmer Sieg yesterday
morning, "shows the unanimity of lo
cal friut growers and should work out
for the good of all."
M Sieg spent Sunday in Spokane,
where he had gone to attend a meeting
of the sales mangers of the North Pa
cific Distributors. At the present time,
he says, it is pronosed to open otlices
of the Distributors at Omaha, Minne
apolis, Chicago and New York. Thus
the big central agency will have sole
representatives within a night's ride of
all of the principal markets of the
country. "This will act as a moral
izes, " says Mr. Sieg, "for these rep
resentatives can be on the ground to
take care of all complaints as to fruits
that have been shipped and to settle
any differences." They will also be in
a way superintendents of other agents
throughout the district and will form
clearing house for their respective dis
tricts. According to statements of Mr. Da
vidson and Mr. Sieg, the former presi
dent of the North Pacific Distributors
and the latter sales manager for the
Hood River subcentral, a new subcen
tral ia being formed at Moscow and in
the Lewiston district of Idaho. About
700 cars of fruit have been secured
from this territory. The apples that
have formerly gone from there have
been shipped without any head and
have interfered badly with the good
grades of other districts, while they
have brought in no gratifying returns
to the growers there. They will be
graded properly next season and will
go out under appropriate brands.
Associations are also being formed in
the Rogue River valley and in the Will
amette valley asking alliliation with
the North Pacific Distributors. These
western Oregon associations will ship
through the Hood River association as
a subcentral of the main ollice of the
Distributors at Spokane. Despite the
fact that the.Wenatchee association has
refused to join the North Pacific Fruit
Distributors, a large number of the
prominent growers there are forming
a new association and are seeking an
alliliation with the central selling
agency.
A special accounting department will
be established here by the Apple Grow
ers' Association to make ready the
monthly statements and prepare the
monthly returns to growers.
NO MISBRANDING THIS
YEAR, SAYS MICKLE
(By Hyman M. Cohen in the Journal)
No longer will producers be able to
market their fruits in Oregon under
misleading labels, if the etlorts of
State Dairy and Food Commissioner
Mickle avail.
The olliciul has begun action to elim
inate this bad featuro of the trade in
an etfort to aid the grower who puts
up an honest pack. Saturday he se
cured a warrant for the arrest of a
local commission house for the sale and
offering for sale of cherries from a
leading grower of The Dalles who had
marked them "Extra Fancy Oregon
Royal Ann Cherries."
According to tho oflicial the cherries
were topped with an extra fine quality
fruit but the other layers were green
and unmatured.
Under the provisions of the law this
is misbranding, and every effort will
be made to secure a convicton of the
offenders.
"While t feel friendly in this matter
to the commission house arrested,"
says Mr. Mickle, "I find that it is my
duty to prosecute in order to aid the
law. Just whether we will be able to
get the shipper and grower of this
fruit I do not know at this time. We
intend to stop the practice of cheating
the public and will prosecute every
offender.
"I have a number of ideas regarding
this matter and I will take up the pro
ject with the incoming mayor and see
whether the state and city officials can
not work in harmony in eradicating the
evil.
"For their protection the wholesalers
should secure a guarantee from the
grower that the Iruit is as represented.
That will throw the burden upon the
producer and then we will be able to
go after him. As the matter stands,
anyone who sells mislabeled food prod
ucts is liable to prosecution, whether it
is the grower or dealer."
