Tariffs, to become i-lTertive the fust week in October, making sweeping reductions in apple freights, are now being prepared by the Mount Hood road unit the O.-W. K. & N. t'o. the rate of seven cents per 100 for upplt from Odell to Hood Kiver, has been reduced to live cents, and the I'n ion I'a.'ilic line will absorb this charge on through shipments. Iheref ore grow ers al Odell csii bhip to eastern points as cheaply as from this city. The re duction will lead to more of a central ization of warehouses in the mid-valley ciiniminitifs. Through rates from points south of Oilell will take an additional rate, hut in every esse the freight will be cut in half, for instance, at the present time the rate from Parkdale is seven cents per Lux. On through shipments this rate will be rut to :J cents per box. The new tariff of the Mount Hood line shows a material reduction 011 all csrluHil shipments originating south of Van Horn station. Chas. T. Karlv, general matiHRcr and vice president of the valley road, says: "fur the past several months negotia tions looking to the end just obtained have been under way. I am glad that they have been concluded in time to give the growers of the valley benefits on this year's apple crnp. there has heen a heavy movement of apples over our lines each year, our iciniuin charge for this service being T! per car. Many of the charges ran even higher, and one can readily see the result. I take the position that in ns much as these icductions are volun tarily made by the railway companies, that it ought to Le the best of evi- lencc, showing their interest in the success of the fruit grower. Our small line has been called on to make many sacrifices in the way of rate reduction. However, it would not have been pos sible for us to have brought this about without the aid of the Union Pacific. In my judgment the larger company has been especially kind to Hood Kiver, personally, 1 appreciate the manner in which tliB company's traffic oflicials have considered the matter, and their linal derision, which has made possible the absorption. 'Ihe more this absorption ts studied and umlci stood, the more it will be appreciated." PIONEERS ENJOY A Continued on Page Class A, Leila Hoed, Vira Jonnlson (Continued on Last Page) Hardships of the days when the Apple Valley was a forest and the Huod liiver was known as Dog River, were forgotten last Friday by members of the Hood Hiver Pioneer Association in their annual reunion, when they sat down to the sumptuous dinner piepared by the wives, daughters and grand daughters of the first settlers. It was a feast for an epicure. Hy actual count 17 different kinds of delicious pies were served. ChickeiiB by the score fiom the Valley farms of the pio neer settlers appeared on the table in platters, rounded with drumsticks and succulent, tasty pieces of browned, white breast meat. It was nut only the annual reunion dinner of the pioneers but the birthday dinner of the Valley's beloved and honored citizen and pioneer, h. L. Smith, who was tendered the congratu lations of his old comrades and busi ness men of the city. Hut next year the association will hold its annual meeting on the birthday of another of its oldest members, U. A. Turner, a pioneer of 'til, whose next birthday will come on September ill. Mr. Tur ner will be X0 years old next year. Mr. Smith was 78 Friday. Ha settled in the valley with his family 39 years ago, having come from Tacoma, Wash., w here for a number of years he was secretary and acting governor of Washington teriitory. 'Ihe honor roll of the Hood Hiver Pioneer association containing a list of members who have passed the mark of three score and 10 years, as read by Secretary Henry L. Howe Friday, is as follows: 1).

A feature of the day's meeting was the song and violin music of Mr. Tur ner. Puiing the annual address Ly Mr. Carter, the latter mentioned the fount of eternal youth, sought Ly Ponce do Leon, stating that he thought it was never found. "I think it is up on Dave Turner's old farm," remarkid Mr. Smith. Nine of the local pioneers have passed away since the. reunion of lust year, and with bowed heads and in deep silence the coterie ot remain ing early bottlers heard the liecro logical list read by Secretary Howe. A. It. Jones passed axvay bore last year a week after the reunion. Mrs. Adelia Stranahan. Hood River's first postmistress, died at the age of 75 years. At the age ot 94 years Rev.
