The annual meeting of the Commer cial club was held at the club room Monday evening, witb , a moderate at tendance. On account of the business session there was no social program arranged, except that the biihard ball was well patronized, all the tables be ing occupied, and a sharp checker game drew a crowd of interested spectators. The meeting opened with Dr. J. F. Watt in the chair, and after disposing of a few routine matters, the secre tary's report was read with close at tention and accepted. Ibe following new directors were unanimously elect&d: Dr. F. C. llro xius. C. F. Gilbert and R. K. Scott. The retiring members are Dr. J. r. Watt. C. K. Marshall and J. E. Rob ertson. M. E. McCarty brought op the mat ter that the fire department had no comfortable place of meeting, and voiced the sentiment of the club when he stated that as the members of the department gave their services without pay to protect the property of the city tt would be fitting for the club to ten der them the free use of the assembly hall once a month for their business meeting. A motion to that effect was carried. lb? entertainment committee was instructed to meet Tom Richardson, of the Oregon Development League, who will come here next Ihursday evening. give him a dinner at the hotel, and en tertain him as a guest ot the club. A smoker will be given in the evening, to which all members of the club are invited, and Mr. Richardson will have something to say to the club that will be of interest. The members of the tire department will also be invited to attend the smoker. Secretary Kavliu's report follows in part: The most important action the club can take during the coming year is to carefully plan a complete and thorough campaign to attract tourists during the anticipated great influx in 1915 due to the Panama Pacific Exposition in ban Francisco. Exposition officials and traffic managers of the various rail roads predict an attendance during the nine months of the fair of from 20 to 30 million people. It is expected that at least ten percent of the travel can be induced to pass through Portland. And it is in Portland that we should exert our greatest efforts. Go after the tourists. Let us begin to make an afset of our scenery. The counties of southern Oregon and the Willamette valley are already wide awake to the situation and they are all planning for the WIS influx, as Tom Richardson will personally tell you here on the 18th. We have more to offer the tourist in the line of scenery than any other place in Oregon, and we are. in a stragetic position to capture this line of trade, With an energetic campaign In Port land we should be able to attrraet a great deal of the travel to Hood River, and the trip up the Columbia River by boat ran be made the most important features of the Portland itinerary of all tourists. There is no reason why we shouldn't have from 100 to 500 tour ists a day during the spring, summer and fall of 1915. 1 would suggest that we adopt some slogan, such as "See Hood River, .the Most beautiful Valley in the World." This may seem extravagant, but it takes something extravagant to catch the public. We can certainly make good with the tourists when we get them here.. When it comes to talking the charms of Hood River valley we want to bury our modesty good and deep. 1 want to impress upon you at this time that the 1915 campaign is going to be the hottest that has ever been waged in Oregon end it behooves us to get into the contest with our sleeves rolled up. Regarding the Portland end of this campaign a suggestion wbs made to me the other day by Charles Hall, which was, to use a slang expression, a "corker." The success of this plan, however, depends upon the utmost secrecy until just before it is sprung, and therefore I am not at liberty to di vulge any of the particulars at this time. Suffice to say, if it is carried out 1 am confident it will be the big gest advertising and boosting stunt that will be pulled off in Portland by any county in Oregon. The biggest single thing to insure the success of this touriBt campaign will be the opening of the Columbia River Highway as far as Hood River. Multnomah county is bringing a mag nificent boulevard to, .our boundary line, sb wide as the upper part of Oak street, and with a maximum five per cent grade. It is absolutely beyond Hood River to do anything like this. If we can get through. a sixteen foot road with a maximum grade of from eight to even ten per cent it is about allthatcan .be expected of us. The State Highway Commission is carrying through the same survey in Hood River county that they are elsewhere. In view of this fact it is believed eventually that the state will take over this road and reconstruct it in places to comply fully with the requirements of the present survey. 1 have made a suggestion to the Columbia River Highway Association to have a Colum bia River Highway exhibit at the San Francisco exposition, exploiting the scenic wonders of that trip. To show you how other sections are going after this sort of advertising one of the big gest concessions in the amusement sec tion of the exposition will be an im mense reproduction of the Grand Canon of Arizona. Eventually the whole state of Oregon will be made to see that the Columbia River Highway will be the state's greatest scenic asset and plans should be commenced at once to exploit it to the world. As one means of raising funds to carry on our tourist campaign I would suggest that we hold a local talent street carnival here next June, with a week of gaiety, possibly culminating with the fourth of July celebration on the last day. If we put forth one half thj energy that has been expended on the Chautauqua during the past two years w can make a big success of this. If this event is held tbe Bus! neas Mens League plans to hold an in dustrial exposition at tne same time with exhibits and booths arranged in an arcade on Cascade street between Second and Third streets. We should encourage as much cf diversity in our farming interests as possible. Hood River can raise a few things besides apples, tbst can beat the world. You have ftner.cauliHowers here this fall that I have ever seen on the San Francisco market, and with a flavor that ia unsurpassed. We should be shipping these out in commercial quantities. Hood River celery is in a class by itself. I am told it'brings 30 cents more per dozen bunches than any celery on the Portland market. Our fellow member, Mr. Koberg, has made Hood Kiver asparagus a household word In Portland and this season he has created a furore in Seattle with bis lettuce. Hood River potatoes made hit in California by their superior flavor and California buyers have made heavy purchases here this fall of our tubers. Hood River has established an enviable reputation in everything we produce, which is a big asset to the grower in the very start. In. this conection I wish to state that the Pure Food department at Washing ton is watching the apple game this year very closely. There was so mucn misbranding of apples ;last year that tbe department determined to take a hand. Last week a grower in Under wood shipped two carloads of mis branded apples to Portland. He was arrested by government agents, the apples siezed and bis trial set for next month. In closing I wish to strongly empha size the absolute necessity of protect ing our reputation in the goods we ship out from this valley. It is a repu tation we have worked hard to obtain and I believe it is really the duty of the members of this club to report any violations that come to their notice. WILL SiilP 1,000 CARSOFAPPLES MONEY DISTRIBUTED TO GROWERS Apple Growers' Association Reports Good Markets Except in Earope Central Packing Stations Advocated ELKS MEMORIAL AT THE DALLES Last Sunday The Dalles Lodge of Elks held their annual memorial ser vice, which was attended by the fol lowing from Hood River: Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Derby. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Clark, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Smith. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Castner, J. G.Vogt, A. F. Adams, J. L, Morrison, L. M. Bentley, J. H. Fredricy. The services were held in the Elks Temple, and the program arranged was very impressive, lne memorial aa dress by Hon. John F. Kavanaugh, of Portland, was especially good. On be half of the Hood River members of the order, J. II. Fredricy delivered the fol lowing eulogy : We are gathered here today to ob sreve that which to my mind ts the most beautiful of all the ceremonies of the Elk Lodge remembrance: to call to mind with reverence our absent brothers and their virtues. v As we journeyed along life's path we knew them as men who were promi nent with the development of this great state of ours, men who enjoyed the confidence and estesro of their brothers and neighbors in the various communities in which they lived. They were ceaseless wotkers in the upbuild ing of this lodge of fclks. We miss then) from our midst ;i we miss Ihem from our councils. We knew them as men whose hearts were tilled to over flowing with that beautiful spirit of charity and good fellowship; men who never peinutteifa call or distress to go unanswered ; men whose purses were ever open to aid those In need : men who by words and acts of kindnes-i caused the sunshine of happiness to penetrate dark places end dispel gloom, encouraging those who had become despondent to renewed activity. Among them were men with master minds and skilled hands who alleviated suffering and soothed the fevered brow along the bay to recovery for human ity's sake. Proverbs 19th chapter and 17th verse reads, "He that hatb pity upon the poor lendeln to tne i.ord; and that which he hath given will tie pay him again," I feel that when the spirit of our departed brothers rapped upon the door of Heaven s lodge, Al might God, exulted ruler of the whole universe, bade them enter. It behooves you and me.my brothers, to live right with God and our .fellow mun so that when the summons comes to you and me that we may be greeted by our brothers in the Grand Lodge above, and with them roam over the ever green pastures of eternal love; where the flowers of good fellowship are ever in bloom and where songs of rejoicing never cease. Proverbs' 29th chapter Z7th verse reads, "He that giveth to the poor shall not lack ; but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a cuise." Let you and me, mytbrotbers, make it our duty to build up about our. lodge and about this beautiful temple; a reputa tion for charity, justice and good fel lowship as monumental as that mag nificent mountain to our west and let our thoughts and acts ever be as pure as the new fallen snows that cap its summit; let us cast out of our hearts and minds all feelings of malice and anviousness ; let us cast asidu the crown of thorns (hatred) and take up the cross ot charity and good fellow ship and wend our way along life's path at peace with God and our fellow men. following closely within the guid ing ray of light from the great star of hope until we have reached. our final destiny. Fraternal Brotherhood, New Lodge The Fiaternal Brotherhood, a f rater nal order for both ladies and gentle' men. was organized here last week by State organizer M. G. O'Malley, as sisted by Organizers Bessie Rehberg, Zella Wallace, and Sadie Roseboom. The new lodge starts with 30 charter members, and will hold its meetings the first and third Fridays in each month at K. of P. hall. Theffollowing are the first officers, who will be in stalled at the first meeting in January: Hugh Harris, Past Pres.; Thos. Moon- ey, Pres.; F. H. Isenberg.V. P.; fcarle StiHuldine.

"The average number of boxes in a car will run about 640. The bulk of the apples are nowin, although some of the grow ers have been slow to get the crop packed and hauled to our warehouses. "Our experience this year demon strates the need of central packing houses for the quick handling of the fruit after it is ready to pick. Many of the growers try to do all or most all of the work themselves, to save hiring help, thus dragginefout the (crop until way into the winter. Instead of saving money they are losing, as the fruit gets overripe, or is otherwise affected by improper handling. The ten days rain which we had this fall did much in delaying picking and packing, and hampered us in getting the apples to market early. If we had central pack ing houses where tbe apples could be hauled in from the field as fast as picked, then packed out with a force day and night, the fruit would be in much better shape, . it would not get overripe, and the grading and pack would be all alike. As it is now, even with the most rigid inspection, it is hard to get the best results. There is difference in the ripeness of the fruit. a difference in the grading, and a dif ference in the pack. While this is made as uniform as possible by careful nspertion, yet the results are not as satisfactory as where it is fhandled by large force packing under set rules and regulations. We would be enabled in many cases to get enough better returns to make the cost of such hand ling to tbe grower less than it is now under the individual packing. 'the markets are showing strong in ail parts of this country, but European markets are slow. The holiday trade is practically over, and the foreign trade is waiting for the mid-winter and spring grades of apples. 1 look for a good improvement in the European market later on, when the holiday stock is moved off. "California is proving an excellent market for us this year in working off the commoner grades, and we look for an early cleanup in all varieties, in stead of having a large surplus stock dragging out through tbe late spring. as it did last year. We have been work ing up a good trade in Portland, but individual shipments dumped In there on consignment and occasionally sold below the market, has made it difficult to build up a satisfactory market there for Hood River apples. "Selling our apples this year f. o, b. instead of consigning them, has made returns come in quick, and we have been making a liberal distribution to groweis as fast as the returns came in. Up to the first of Deccember we have been able to distribute an average of about 60 cents a box to growers, and by the first of the year, this should be increased to about $1." McLean Bros., who 'purchased the McCann place, two miles south of town, are remodeling the barns and will but in a first class dairy the first of tbe year. Most of the cows will be Jerseys, and it is their intention to start a milk route. HOOD RIVER BIRDS TAKE MANY PRIZES Hood River poultry . raisers carried off many of the prizes at the poultry show held at Portland lust week, two exhibitors from here taking about everything in sight in their respective entries. Two entire (loots of the Fail ing building, which has been rented by Meier & Frank, were donated by that firm to the poultry show, and there were over 1100 birds on exhibition from the northwest, and as far east as Idaho. E. F. Batten, with his entries of Rhode Island Reds, won the following honors: First, second and third cock erels; fourth pullet; fifth hen; first breeding pen; silver cup for first pen: slate cup for best display ; silver cup for best color; club special for best shape and color male ; club special for best shape female; five other special prizes. Seven of the judges Btated that Mr. Patten had the best display of Rhode Island Reds in the show, and the prizes taken bore out the truth of the statement. S. J. Frank, proprietor of the Avalon Poultry Yards, took prizes on every entry of Single Comb White Orping tons, as follows; first and second cockerel ; first, second and fifth pullet. BAD CHECK ARTIST WORKS HOOD RIVER Several Hood River merchants were "stung" Mondsy, when W. M. Clark, who has been working on the library building, passed around checks with the forged name ot W, I. Sinclair at tached. Tbe usual game was worked; that of buying a small amount of goods, giving, a check for a larger amount in payment, receiving the bal ance in change. He made his get away before the forgery was discov ered. The Merchants Association has taken taken up the matter, for future protec tion, and has offered $100 reward for the arrest and conviction of the forger, and Sheriff Johnson has sent out no tices of the forger, together with his description, to sheriffs and police offic ers of other cities. The man had been working here for some time, making frequent purchases of merchants, usually witb checks he received for labor, and evidently with the idea of making a cleanup at the proper time. On account ot previous transactions which proved all right, his checks were recived without ques tion. First Baptist Church Sunday school 9.45 a. m., F. G.
