Present estimaea place the season's crop at from 60 to 70 per cent of that of last year. Hut on ac count of the small crop here and the 1 i k tit yield over the entire nation those who aie keeping in touch with market conditions are optimistic and are pre dii ting that growers will get profitable returns on the year's business. Ship (J. Campbell, chiel inspector tif the Apple Growers Associaton, whu makes daily tours of the orchards, says hat the year's yield will be between tili and 70 per rent of that of last year. "The fruit looks vtry much better than it did a month ago," says Mr Cainpl til, "and it is of a particularly detiircHhle quality. It is making a beautiful growth and the size will he attractive. The apples are larger than usual at this time of the year, the sea son being 10 days earlier than normal. Hood River growers are taking particu larly good care of the orchards, spray ing thoroughly and at the proper time in an endeavor to maintain the usual standard of excellence." K. 11. Shepard, editor of Better Fruit, one of the close students of ap ple market conditions in the northwest, says that the does not think the crop of this, year will run over 60 per cent of that of last season. Mr. Shepard says that be has found that the Willow Flat district ordinarily one of the heaviest producing sections of the valley, will be very light. The Davidson Fruit Co., owner of one of the largest tracts in Hood River, marketed 24,000 boxes of apples from Willow Flat last year. They will not have over 8.000 boxes, according to estimates, this year. Con sidering the apple market from a northwestern sb well as national stand point, Mr. Shepard is optimistic. He says that the estimates for the total crop of the United States place the 1915 yield at about 50 per cent of that of 1914. This he says will give us about 22,500,000 barrels of apples to dispose of. In past years, he states, growers of the northwest, when the crop has been heavier, have received very gratifying returns. "And 1 have every reason to expect that growers will net prices that will repay them a profit this year," says Mr. Shepard, "but the distribution will be such that the con sumer will not be charged an excessive price. The entire apple crop of the United States is not so great but that it can be conusmed at home, and even though there are no exports I think the home demand will be such that the crop will move satisfactorily to growers, shippers and wholesalers alike. And we may even look for some exports, if no circumstances of the war prevent. A fruit merchant from Holland has been in the valley, having made his first trip to the Pactic coast, and he Bays that he is preparing to buy apples this year as usual. Of course, high freight rates and excessive insurance may make such exports negligible. Figures gathered by local crop statis ticians show that the crop of southern Oregon will be light. Wenatchee's yield is placed at about 80 per cent and that of the Yakima ditricts at about 40 per cent. Hood River's pear crop is very prom ising this year. The quantity will be greater than last season, and the qual ity is good, according to Inspector Campbell. Hood Hiver liartletta wi begin to roll this week. Kenneth McKay, of the Fruit Grow ers' Exchange, sets the 1915 crop of apples at from 7U0 to 800 carloads. "We have not yet got in all of our estimates," says Mr. McKay, "but they will be pretty well in by the end of the week. The fruit, from all re ports, is making a good growth." Last Saturday's edition of the Pack er is devtoed to an estimate cf the ap pie crop of the United States. The pages of the four big sections of the fruit publication are tilled with stories from experts from all sections of the country. Below are given excerpts from Packer reports: The following is a concise statement as to the condition of the apple crop of New York, a fruit district known to the trade as "The King Pin" apple dis triet : "The western New York apple crop promises to be much smaller than last year. Estimates from tne principal growing sections declare the crop will be from one-quarter to one-half smaller than it was a yaer ago. I he shortage is chiefly in Baldwin apples, which were an enormous crop last year. The Packer man took a trip through a part of the up-state belt, and growers who were interviewed said their orchards would not produce from one-third to one-half as many apples as a year ago, They said their Baldwins were light. and as this variety is western New York's mainstay, it means that the ap ple crop will be under normal. Commenting on the crop in the cen tral or middlewestern states the Packer savs: "The apple crop this year in several of the central western states will be heavy, and this is especially true of the states of Illinois. Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas. The crop in Missouri, Arkansas, Michigan and several others will not be as large as 1914, but there will be a fairly plentiful supply of fruit, nevertheless. The Packer estimates the Weston ville, Calif., crop, o great portion of which is composed of Newtowns, at 70 per cent of a full crop. E. F. DISTRICT WINS IN CIRCUIT COURT Judge Bradshaw, of The Dalles, has rendered a decision in the case of the Oregon Lumber Co. vs. the East Fork Irrigstion District favorable to the de fendant district. The lumber company sought to restrain the district from making use of mors than 1,100 inches of the waters of the East Fork of Hood river, maintaining that the appropria tion of more of the stream would ham pel them in the operation of their elec trically driven sawmill at lee, the power being developed from the waters of the stream in question and from the Middle Fork of Hood river. Judge Brdshaw's decision will permit the irrigation district lu make use of as much as 7,000 inches of water, this amount having been tiled on in 1N9I by the promoters of the company out of which the district has evolved, although this amount of water up to the present time has never been taken from the river. The case was brought up last year by an enlargement of the main canal of the district's irrigation stem, farm ers having called fur an mere Med sup ply of water made necessary by the in troduction of grains, clovers and other cover crops in the orchards and the in auguration of general diversification among the apple groweis. The liliga liun has been watched with interest by the owners of the 13,000 acres of orch ard land under the irrigation system, and an aiu.ounceinent ot Judge brad thaw's decision has caused a general elation among the fruit growers. The irrigation district, however, faces other litigation, the Pacific Power & Light Co., winch owns exlensive un developed power silts as well as an electric plant now in operation, having tiled a suit, in which demand similar to that in the lumber company case are involved. In order to secure accurate information as to the flow of the waters of the river and of the portion of the stream passing into irrigation systems, the power and light company and the irrigation district have in stalled five automatic guages at differ ent points on Hood river. The original company was composed of V. Wmchell and other East Siue farmers. The ditch was taken over from this company by C. K. Bone, who developed the properly, later selling to the Fast Fork Irrigating Co., which disposed of its interests to the bonded district. HOOD RIVER FOLK ON HOOD TODAY They were off in a bunch yesterday afternoon, the special Mount Hood train leaving for Parkdala at 5 o clock, car rying the largest assemblage of local people over to make such an excursion. and today will be Hood River day on the summit of Mount Hood. When the prospective Mazamaa gathered at the Mount Hood line station, the men were handling with expectancy assorted kinds of improvised alpenstocks, while the women were custodians of the lunch to be eaten en route. The latter were garbed in walking skirts and bloomers, all ready for the hikes and strenuous climbs. At Parkdale the party was met by rigs and automobiles, which carried them to the edge of the national forest. From . this point they walked to the camp near Cloud Cap Inn, making their couches on boughs beneath the pine and hemlock trees. The baggage was as sembled Tuesday, and had already been transported to the place of encamp ment. The excurison has been promoted by the Mount liuod Railway Co., the ofh ciala of which are endeavoring to cre ate a spirit of "See Hood River First" among local people. Ashley Wilson accompanied the climbers and he plans on making the ascent with them today. The Glacier is represented on the mountain trip by Harry Clapp. Those who will be at the top ef the world today are : U. E. Bowerman, Miss Leta Bower man, Eleanor Coe, Blanche Champlin, Mrs. H. E.

CHARGE Hood River sportsmen will make a strong protest against the proposed charge to be made by the Southern Pa cific Railway Co. for hauling the Ore gon Fish and Game Commission's dia trbuting car, "Rainbow." "As soon as 1 received a letter from the Commission announcing the pro posed change in the policy of the S. P. Co., which has been hauling the car free of charge, 1 broached the suject to a number ot men, all of whom were prone to make a protest," says Will iam Stewart, chairman of the fish and game committee of the Commercial club. "Our committee wilt draft a resolution deprecating such action." "It is an outrage," says D. McDon ald, president of the Hood River Coun ty Game Protective Association.! the railroads take such a stand it will be impossible for us to stock the streams. The O.-W. R. & N. Co. has certainly done its part in assisting us here. The latter company has often furnished special trains. It seems to me that the stocking of the streams will benefit the companies.very much." Officers Get Suspect City Officers Carson and Smith and Sheriff JohnBon last week took into custody a man who gave his name as Tom Clarke, but who was believed to be Pete Clark wanted at Baker for the murder October of last year of a lum ber camp foreman. Sheriff Anderson, of Baker county, was notified immedi ately after the arrest. When a description of the man was given bheriff Anderson of Baker coun ty. however, he was ordered released the eastern Oregon official feeling sure that the wrong man was being held. SIMON BENSON TO BEHONOREI) MONSTER MASS S1EETLNC HAWED Hood River People Will Join P. P. L L Management and Celebrate in Hon or of First Citizen, August 17 Simultaneous with the Benson Pay celebration in San Francisco at the Panama-Pacific International exposi tion on August 17. Hood River county will turn out en masse to honor Ore gon's First Citnen. While the visitors at the fair are learning of the philan thropies of Simon Benson, Hood River people will gather at the open air thea tre to attend a testimonial meeting. Since the formal opening of the Co lumbia river highway and the public reception tendered Mr. Benson, Gover nor VVithycombe and party of the state's distinguished citizensr after their arrival hero on the trip of dedica tion suggestions for some such form of honnr to Mr. Benson have poured in from every part at the valley, and so spontaneous and simultaneous have been the presentations of the proposed celebration that it may be truthfully stated that no one man can be accred ited with the idea. The first definite action was taken last Thursday night, when a gathering of representative men from all parts of the valley assembled in the city and after a discussion decided to hold the local celebration on the date of the Panama-Pacific exposition Benson Day. The following Hood River county Benson Day proclamation has been is sued: "Tutsday, August 1, has been otlicially designated by the directors of tte HraiiHma-Pacific International ex position as the day on which to render no or to the man who has been pro claimed by our governor as Oregon's Fist Citizen Simon Benson. Concur rent with the celebration at the Panama-Pacific International exposition oa the above date Hood River county will join in paying tribute to Mr. Benson by holding monster mass meeting at the open air theatre at 8 o'clock sharp. Remembering the enthusiasm created on the occasion of the formal opening ot the Columbia river highway by the visit of Governor VVithycombe. Mr. Benson and other prominent men, it ia deemed that the celebration will meet with the approval of all our citizens. "How fortunate Hood River bat been to have had at thia most momentous time a man so public spirited and inter ested in the highways of the state, and who waa willing to step forth and give not only his time and interest, but his financial assistance as well, all of which ia to innure now to our benefit I "The Columbia river highway, which has long been an anticipation, is now realization, and we who are to reap the benefits In many ways ere afforded an opportunity to publicly express our ap preciation or Mr. Benson's interest and energy in our behalf. The great gath ering of the citizens of Hood River county, joined together to honor the man whose name is symbolical of pub lic spirited generousity will appeal to every man, woman and child, and the ic aiion will be one long to be remem bered. A committee, consisting of every citizen of Hood River county, ia aeiegated to make Uenson Day the greatest day in the history of Hood Kiver. the idea or such a celebration occurred simultaneously to so many minds that no one can claim the dis tinction of being the originator. "Hood River is on the map. The greatest amount of the right kind of publicity is being given the community by tne newspapers and prominent pub lications of the country at this time. The world will learn of the Columbia river highway and of Hood River so closely linked with it because of the scenic beauty of the mid-Columbia, and we who are afforded the pleasure and benefits of the highway should not fail to show how heartfelt is our apprecia tion of the man who has been the prima factor in its creation." The full details of the gieat masa meeting have not been worked out, but committees on arrangements will have the program prepared for issues of next week's papers. FINANCE LINES UP AGAINST RELIGION Some wag has said that the sheen and the goats will be present at Co lumbia Park tomorrow afternoon. Ha did not elucidate, and it would not be good form to attempt any explanation of the remark ; for it ia policy to be on good terms with bankera as well as ministers the wise man looks after his material welfare along with that of the spirit. But the Hood River banker! will be after the goat of the Hood River min isters tomorrow afternoon, and vice versa.

The noted toaser of redhot words at the time of his con version was center fielder for the Chi cago White Sox. His old manager, when he heard that Billy had given up baseball and was taking'up the pulpit. expressed himself as follows: "A good baseball player gone wrong. But Billy is still going, and he doesn't give a whoop what people say about him. He is still after the sinners. He will be as hot on the trail of the horse hide sphere tomorrow as he ever was on the trail of the Devil. The bankers' line op follows: K. W.
