The Association will not handle in regular pools this year any fruit below the C grade, and all apples below this grade may be sold outside the organiz ation or may be subject to special con tract. The war situation was threshed over. Mr. Davidson told the growers that not only would the Kuropean exports be cut off, but that American growers would have to contend with Canadian fruit, while the fruit products of the tropical regions, not rinding an Kuro pean outlet, would be placed on sale in American markets. The vital bearing of the European war on the apple crop of the northwest, necessitating the most conservative ac tion by growers and creating the need for extensive storage at eastern mar kets was brought out forcibly in the meeting of the board of trustees of the North Facitic Fruit Distributors last week. The further fact that the North western apple crop amounts to only 13,1510 cars, over 50 per cent of which i , is tuiiiruiieu u me irisinuuiors, was revealed during this session. Fhe board of trustees has held one of the best meetings in the history of the organization, one of deep interest to the fruit growers of the northwest and one marked by enthusiastic unity of action by the respresentatives of the growers alhhated with the Distribu tor," stated General Manager Kobbins in an interview issued after adjournment. 'An important feature was the re port of the president and'myself on our recent eastern trip which presented our observations relating to the inMu ence of the war on the fruit outlook and the conclusions which we reached after conferences with eastern bankers and important factors in the trade. J he probable opening prices for ap ples this season, which, of course, are directly effected by existing conditions was the subject under deliberation throughout most of the final day 'a seg- Hion. I tie board was unanimous in its argcement on the feasibility of again pursuing last year's policy of starting prices on a basis sulliciently attractive to the trade to induce the early and prompt movement of the crop and to avoid harvest time demoralization. It is confident that notwithstanding ad verse circumstances we shall be able to maintain a gradually rising scale. All of the elements entering into the price prublem were most thorough ly considered, and, after a discussion of a minimum price, the details of pricing were left to the management. . this is not a year for hysterics and incriminations, although of course, the war situation is a world calamity. Nationally we have set an example of peace ami order. The bankers and business men of the east are counsel ling conservatism and the fruit men will do well to emulate their example in harvesting their crops. Former av enues of trade have been cut off, and we must develop new channels for a wider distribution within our available territory. We strongly urge growers not to become disheartened and discouraged and warn them not to attempt to un dermine the market by trying to gam a temporary advantage over their neigh bors. It is a foregone conclusion that our harvest will not be absorbed by cash buyers and speculators, and the burden of carrying through the stock until it can be consumed rests on the growers themselves. It is useles for them to think that they can hurry this process and get ahead of their fellow growers without bringing disaster upon themselves as well as the others, be fore they have disposed of their entire crop, "Therefore, we earnetsly advise the growers to place their tonnage in the hands of some large factor or organiz ation, comprehensive enough in scope to be able to move the crop in a sys tematic, deliberately ordered manner llusiness men in the communities ef fected should lend every energy in this direction just now. If this is done we can take a more optimistic view of the future. Our altitude is not .selfish. our recommendations to the growers are born of information which we have obtained from many markets and conferences with prominent figureB in the trade throughout the country. "KcporlB presented at the board meeting developed the fac that to date tins year we have shipped l,K.i cars, as Hgainst. 3(13 last year, an increase of approximately 300 per cent. UPPER VALLEY WANTCSURVEY CITIZENS MEET WITH CO. COURT Propose Loop Highway Would Connect with Macadam Stretches and Sent all Upper Valley Residents Following a campaign inaugurated by the Upper Valley Good KohJb As sociaion, which was organized several weeks ago, the following members of a committee that was appointed at the time of organization, accompanied by Truman Butler, J. II. Heilbronner and Allan Macruni, met w ith Jthe .coun'y court yesterday and asked that an en- Igmecr be appointed to make r survey proposed. loop hinhwev w netrnlinir the Upper Valley: Charles Steinhaus- r, J. K. Barn ii. Jr.. J. K. Thompson. O. Hoc, Geo. Munr.w. A ti. Nickels and Ralph Koot. Mr. Meinhauser, who was spokesman for the Upper Valley citizens, explain ed to thejeuurt that it was desired by those who were looking forward to the construction of such a highway, that the enigneer not only lay out the route accordingly grade that might be speci fied, but that an estimate be made as to the cost of construction. It is proposed that the loon road con nect with the strectheB of macadam on the east and west sides of the Lower Valley, it will proceed up the Neal reek canyon or over a new survey over Huoth hill, pass along the route of he road now leading bv the Mount Hood store and cross the Kaat Fork of Hood river at a point where a bridge could be constructed most economically and penetrate the orchard country just south of the Mount Hood store in the region of A. Ii. Coulter's place. It is suggested that the two branches of the road meet in the China Hill vicinity. The road on the West Side will pass up by Winana station and Dee. It will lass over to the west side of the Last Fork and enter Farkdale from the west. The road will pass to the south of Farkdale through the thickly settled tract in the vicinity of the Stelnhauser place. It said by those promoting the highway that it will serve practically all of the Upper Valley residents, most all of whom are enthusiastically in favor of it. After hearing the plans as outlined by the Upper Valley citizens, the court decided to accompany them over the proposed route before taking any defin- te action. The committee and the members of the court will travel over the route next Monday in the automo biles of Mr. Steinhauser and Mr. llut- er. ' A number of other minor road peti tions were heard by the court yesterday. Rubber Stamps for Apple Boxes Made to Order at the Glacier Office KELLY BROTHERS HAY, GRAIN AND MILL FEED ORCHARD SUPPLIES Largest Stocks Lowest Price The opening meeting of the board of directors of the Apple Growers Associ ation Saturday afternoon proved to be an Interesting one and a large number of orchardists were in attendance, crowding the rooms of the Commercial club where the meeting was held. The discussions for the most part were in consideration of the grades and packs to be used during the coming year. On account of the short apple crop last year the Association handled the lower grades of fruit for its members, the Special grado was admitted and sold well. However, this season, with a large crop in prospect and practically sssured, the growers are warned by II. F. Davidson against following the lax provisions of last year. "We have had too many grades," said Mr. Davidson at Saturday's meet ing. "In . fact, it has become dillicult to make a distinction in the slight dif ference and shading of the grades. The three grades, extra fancy, fancy and C grade will be used exclusively this year. "Ihe eastern apple buyer is after color, more than anything else. Our western fruit comes up to the color specifications more than that oi any other daitrict. We found last year that eur special apples, with their color ex tra fancy, but having fungus defects, often sold better than our fancies." The time limit on the closing of pools was drscussed. It was felt by some of the growers that an early closing of pools would work a hardship on those who were able to keep their fruit in well constructed, privately owned stor age houses. Lut it is probable that a reasonable time limit will be made on the pools, and all fruit not in by that time will be handled in special pools or for private account. In case the apples are well preserved and in good condi tion, the grower owning the storage CITIZENS PLAN FOR BENSON TESTIMONIAL Many of the residents of the city are acquainted with the beauties of views that can be seen from a rocky promon tory jutting out high above the Colum bia river just at the top of the Kuthton hill, a little over two miles west or the city. It is at this point that a test) monial of Hood Kiver citizens, an ex pression of their gratitude to S. Hen son's energy and endeavors, expended in hastening the completion of the Lo lumbia highway through the county may be erected. Flans for the pro posed testimonial are taking definite shape, and last week at a meeting in the rooms of the Commercial club the following co nmittee was appointed to work on the campaign, that, from gen era) expressions of sentiment, will be warnilv supported: S. A. Mitchell Walter Kimball, Koy I). Smith, M. K Noble and O. F. Dabncy. Mr. Dabncy owns a tract of land at this point, having made a purchase a little over a year ago from the Stanley Smith Lumber Co. It is suggested that a balustrade be constructed of huge boulders around the semicircular edge of the cliff, and a "turn around' road from the main highway will fol low this, giving the motorist the op portunity to drive to the very verge of the gorge and enjoy the superb pano ramas. Juft at the top of the grade a gateway will be built, and the segment made by the main highway and the "turn around" road will be made into a beautiful park. Whatever site may be chosen, before any actual construction is begun, a skilled landscape gardener will be con sulted. Mr. Kimball, a member of the committee in charge, has had experi ence in landscape work, and will be able to furnish valuable information. TECHNICALITY DE LAYS SALE OF BONDS Because the word "Beginning" was left out of the notice of the Columbia highway bond election, the construction work will be delayed, while the courts determine the validity of the bonds. Kastern bond attorneys, to whom a transcript of the proceedings was sent, refused to approve the issue as it stood. K. ft. Coovert, attorney for a. lienson. who purchased the bonds, has been working with Judge Derby, county at torney, to hasten the matter through the courts. Judge ISradshaw has al ready heard the case, deciding in favor of the county. W. L. Clark, who has been one or the hardest workers for the Columbia highway, allowed his name to be used as plaintiff in the case. The attorneys are now preparing to present the case to the supreme court, the members of which will hasten the decision. The contract to contsruct the portion of the road highway in Hood Kiver county between the Multnomah line and Viento was awarded last week to the Newport Land & Construction Co., their bid having been $57,758.40,. the lowest of the fourteen companies mak ing offers for the work.
