KC ,4 c 61 EASTERN GROWERS WILL USE' BOXES :kc: k KC NO ACTION TAKEN AT ROAD MEETING No denfiite ai-tiun was taken at the road meetings of last Saturday, the last of which, a niHna meeting of citi zens, was held Saturday niht at the assembly hall of the Commercial club. 'Ihe advisory committee appointed at the request of the county court met at the court houne Katurduy morning and afternoon. It was composed of A. O. Adams, of (Jarsado Locks; C. 1. Jo tmnsen, of the Upper Vulley; James K. Korden, of Belmont ; J. A. Moore, of Odell; A. 1. Mason, of Tine drove. L. A. HenderHon, appointed by Mayor Heed, represented the city. "A general discussion look place at the meetings," said. County Judge Ktanton, "but we arrived at no dellnite conclusions. Ihe citizens of dilterent districts learned the wants of those of other districts and all of them, 1 think, found out that they could not get all they wanted. No date was sot for a further deliberation of the committee with the court." An interesting and instructive ad dress was delivered at the Saturday evening" meeting by Murray Kay, county engineer, on the methods of road construction. Mr. Kay called the attention to the absolute necessity of having roads properly located before permanent improvement work -is begun. It is hard to expend too much money on proper surveys, he said. Ha com mended the art i on taken in having the survey of the Columbia river highway made through the county. lie pointed out that a good portion of the many thousands of dollars that had been expended in past years in the val ley had been wasted. Mr. Kay is opposed to the hardsur facing of too great an extent of high ways. He called attention to the sand clay roads of the valley, those built by li. I . Uadleman, on l'ortiand Way, and those under construction by Hoy I). Smith in tho liarrett district. Hut first of all the county engineer urges the county to prepare a dentlitc outline of future construction. "If we had 5-10,000 to expend tomor row." he said, "we would not know how to begin. We haven't even traffic census here." Frof. Skelton, of the Oregon Agri cultural College, who came here and made an inpection of the county high ways Saturday morning, endorsed every statement made by Mr. Kay. "Location and drainage, he said "are among the chief factors in road building." He also called att ntion to aand-clay roads. "1 .made a trip to Georgia last year just to inspect the roads of this character, called ,top soil roads, that they have ihcre. Where the proper ingredients are to be had, such highways aie in the best of condi tion. Trof. Skelton's talk covered all the technical points of road building. "A road should not have too much crown," he said, "if the sides are too steep, all vehicles will follow the center and trackage will result." "One of the worst difficulties we have," said the O. A. C. expert, "is that we have too many people knowing all about roads, bo to any ordinary audience of citizens atid all will be able to tell you just how to construct roads, and in truth we have but very. very few real highway engineers in the United States. At the meetings of the committee with the court on Saturday, Mr. Hen derson in representing the city, urged the proposed question of the bond is sue should be put up for vote at the May primaries, that the county might be put to as little expense as possible. CARLOT RATES MAY BE WITHDRAWN "We have received information." Bays Wilmcr Sieg, "that the Interstate Commerce Commission will refuse to confirm the taritr of the express com panies on carload shipments of fruit from northwestern districts." The rate of the new tariff was from 1 2 i to 25 per cent in excess of the old rate and would have worked an almost irretrievable .hardship on the berry producing sections of the states of Ore gon and Washington. White Salmon and Underwood joined the local associ ation in sending protests to the Inter state Commerce Commission and to the representatives of Oregon and Wash intgon in congress. "W. H. i'aulhamus, too, has been one of the most active of northwestern men to engage in the tight," says Mr. Sieg, "and consumers from North Da kota, where many of our berries are used, have helped us out. We based our tight on the fact that we are a ready paying as much as the berries will bear, that the express companies did not own the equipment used.lthat they were at no expense in the trans portation, the consignor loading the fruit and the consignee unloading and distributing it, and that the companies were merely put to the expense ot col lecting their charges. We have every reason to believe that, from our strong protests and that of the represents lives in congress from the two states coupled with the facts on our side, the express companies will have to with draw the tariff." N& Crawford C. I.emmon and C. Claude Tloinpson have organized the Hood River Produce Exchange, which will occcupy the old office building of the Apple (.rowers union on Railroad av enue. The organization will supply the local need of handling produce of all kinds grown in the valley. "We will handle vegetables, potatoes and small fruits," says Mr. I.emmon. "We will sell the surplus product of this kind to grocers and will do general com mission business, operating in bananas, oranges, lemons and such goods." The new exchange has arranged with the Apple Growers Association for cold storage facilities. "We have been as ured the cooperation of local mer chants," says Mr. I.emmon. "We will be ready, too, to handle Hood Rivet butter, when the creamery is going." The llest lough Medicine. ''1 have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ever since I have been keeping house," Buys L. C.

Leading apple growers of Nebraska will pack their first grade apples in boxes. They used the barrel pack ex clusively up to this date, but were shown by the county agricultural agents that the box pack is superior. Apples packed in boxes bring from 60 to 75 cents'a box more than, the same fruit packed in barrels. The added cost of box packing is about six cents a box. How will this change in packing af fect western growers who are operat- ng in eastern markets with a handicap of from 25 to 40 per cent transporta tion charges? This question was re ferred to l'rof. C. I. Lewis, the O. A C. hortciultruist, who replied as fol lows: "While eastern growers are endeav oring to get their choice apples into box pack, western growers are doing their best to find a way to indspose of their second and third grades without packing them at all. With the cheaper grades profitably cared for in by products lactones at home, the eastern markets will not suffer an over supply of first grade fruit from the eastern box packs. The west must produce extra. quality fruit, grado it accurately, and send back only the best grades. t I UXS, FT US AM) FEATHERS 1..H..l,.l.,l.,l..l..l..M..H-H..H"H"l-l"I-H"l"l- Residents of the Central Vale and Odell district have been up in arms hunting a cougar, the cry of which has been heard over that district recently. Matters finally came to a climax. The shrill, piercing scream of the big beast, as it was thought, was heard early one morning. At about ten o'clock one of the sturdy citizens of that neighborhood, who is noted for his sharpshooting, buckled on his revolver and slung his rine across his shoulder. He was accompanied by a neighbor, who has won fame as a hunter of big game in the northwest. The cries seemed to have come from woods back of the Dunbar place. And there they expected to find "iirer" cougar. With eyes searching ever tuft of. grass they approached the copse. Suddenly a big rabbit jumped from a bed of dry leaves. His leaps over the dried un derbrush made what seemed a terrible racket to the hunters,; one of whom climbed a tree. It was learned later in the day that the cries had been made by a new whistle that had been, placed on the well digger in operation'on the Dunbar place by O. H. Hill. "Bobwhite" is Farmers' Friend "The bobwhite quail is a splendid combination insect trap, weed killer and game bird, and as a booster prop ostion his cheerful whistle is unex celled," writes Dr. Clifton Fremont Hodge in the January number of the Oregon Sportsman. Dr. Hodge is pro fesBor of social biology at the Univers ity of Oregon, v. hose time is occupied wholly in traveling among Oregon communities, speaking and instructing along popular biology lines. "The annual damage to agriculture by weeds is estimated at nearly $500, 000,000," says Dr. Hodge. "Nearly 53 per cent of the quail's food is weed seeds, and of the 129 weeds it is known to destroy, many are the worst we have-among them beggar's ticks.bind weed, Canada thistle, burdock, curled dock, wild mustard, ragweed, pigweed, lamb's quarters, parsley, sorrel and witch grass. In a single day's ration a bobwhite has been found to eat amouts of weed seed as follows: "Wild mustard, 2500, burdock, 600; curled dock. 4175; dodder, 1560; even ing primrose, 10,000; lamb's quarters, 15,000; pepper grass, 2-fOO; piwgeed, 12.000; plaintain, 12.500; rabbit a foot clover, 30, MX); smartweed, 2250; white vervain, 158,750." That is, the seed of each of these weeds was made the diet of a quail during one day each with the above result. "insects lay a yearly tax on Ameri can agriculture recently estimated at t,04;t,500,OO0." continues Dr. Hodge. "The list of 135 different insects which the bobwhite has been found to eat Includes many of our most destructive pests. The Jquail is so large in com parison with many of our insect eating birds that the quantities taken are in teresting. The following are among the records: "Two tablespoonsful of chinch bugs from a tingle crop; 5000 aphis at a meal ; 1,350 house and stable flies'in a day ; 1,283 rose slugs in a day ; 1,532 miscellaneous insects, about 1000 of them grashoppers, in a day; 568 mos quitoes in three hours. For the year a bobwhite has on the average to his credit about five pounds of insects and 5,123,000, or nearly ten pounds of weed seeds." Several hundred squirrels have taken possession of the big apple house of A. 1. Mason. The apple house up to a month ago was the scene of packing activities, but after the boxed apples were moved out was closed, excepting that part used as a stable, located in the basement. One morning this week Mr. Mason'a manager found the squir rels in possession of the other parts. Where they came from or when they will move out is a question that Mr. Mason cannot answer. He says that as they are doing no damage he will await the results with as much interest as the boys of the neighborhood are showing. Mr. Mason will afford them every protection. Dr. Waugh has the largest dog that Hood River people have ever had the privilege of seeing. Monday, while the doctor was taking lunch at Parkers, his dog was lying at his side. One of the ladies of the city and her tittle daugh ter came in. "Can 1 pet the dog?" asked the intelligent little girl. She was told she could, but on approaching the huge fellow, which arose to greet her, she rushed back to' her mother and said, "Oohl oo-oohl It's a moocow." I'pper Valley Favors Bonds Pursuant to a request of the county court a meeting of the taxpayers of the Upper Valley was held in Mc Isaac's hall, I'arkdale, on Wednesday of last week. About 80 attended the meeting. W. S. Gribble was elected chairman and requested the secretary to read the object of the meeting. C. P. Johansen was then elected a dele gate to the advisory board and was in structed by unanimous vote to favor a bond issue of $200,000. On the Columbia river - road the meeting was divided. Those present favored a wagon road from Cascade Locks to Hood River. Yon Sate Money When you buy Foley's Honey and Tar Compound because just a few doses will stop the cough and heals the cold, one bottle lasts a long time, and the last dose is as good aa the first.

Fish, secretary of the association, is already booking con tracts for novelty performances in the neighboring city on this event.
