RAPS AUCTION'S
Because of the chostic conditions
that he says have been produced by the
operations of applusellers who consign
their product or who dispose of it at
auction. II. F. Davidson will make a
strong appeal for aid to the North
western Fruit Growers i ouncii, of
which W. 11. Paulhamus is the execu
tive head. Writing to his association
from New York, where he has opened
offices, Mr. Davidson says :
"The Northwestern Growers Council
chould include every fruit grower in
the four states of Oregon, V ashington,
Idaho and Montana. The first hard
work to be done by the organization
will be that of stopping the prevailing
foolhardy methods of marketing. The
grower or shipper who foolishly ships
his fruit on a small advance or without
any advance from eastern commission
houses or auction firms, with no person
al representative on the ground to pro
tect his interests, is not only in line for
bankruptcy himself, but is making it
impossible for his neighbors to exist as
fruit growers. Unless this matter is
taken seriously by growers, merchants,
hankers and everhody interested in or
depending on the fruit business and
unless credits are given or witheld in
accordance with the policy employed
by the various shippers, the fruit in
dustry of the northwest is certainly in
a bad way.
"The apple marketing season is yet
young, but most serious conditions are
developing, which, if not promptly cor
rected, will send the boxed apple in
dustry to the bow wows.
"Last year the crop was enormous
and there was a scramblijfor an outlet.
A fair excuse could be found for chaot
ic conditions. This year the crop ia
short, and statistics show that the lim
ited supply is fading away in almost
every state, and there is no excuse for
the foolish methods being employed by
the many shippers. Let the Growers
Council take a strong hand in this mat
ter and get the industry on a proper
basis."
Mr. Davidson says there are essen
tially three different methods of hand
ling boxed apples. He heads the list
with the f. o. b. method, where the
fruit is bought at a dctinitejjprice at
the point of shipment, the buyer sell
ing the fruit himself and making his
own profit and loss. Next he gives the
open consignment, where frequently a
small advance is made. Ihe third
method he designates as consignments
to operators, who have no ability or
facilities of their own and who throw
the fruit on the auctions, where it is
sold at buyers' prices.
"In ths third case, says Mr. David
son, "there is no stability of price, a
single lot of fruit varying as much as
tl per box, showing the whims of the
buyers. The grower, however, suffers
accordingly.
' The criticisms or the auction do
not apply as forcibly in the case of the
more perishable fruits, such a plums,
pears and grapes as in the case of ap
ples. The latter can be kept for weeks
and months, where the former go into
consumption quickly, and each day's
market is unto itself.
'If a suggestion were made by me to
oarrel men that they sell their fruit at
auction, he would be considered a fit
subject for the insane asylum. The
barrel men will not stand for any such
nonsense. The feeling, however, pre
vails that box apple men will stand for
any novel method that will guarantee
them harvesting cost.
Library News
With the fall months renewed activity
comes to the library. Last month there

tion and also in the amount of refer
ence work done.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(By Mark Moe)
The literary society of the Hood
River high school is an organization for
the promotion of public speaking among
the students. All juniors and seniors
of the school ate required to appear
twice each year in literary. For the
part several years the society has had
good attendance, roth from the stu
dents and from the townspeople. And
at every meeting there is talent dis
played that is weil worth while seeing.
There is no admission charged, so a
person always gets his money's
worth. The society will meet, for the
first time this term, this evening at the
high school. The program lor the
evening will be an instrumental duet
hy Mary Sifion srd Margaret Morrison;
the president, Mies Dorcas DeWitt, will
then give an address; address, "Public
School vs. Private School," Henry
Haas; address, "History of Submar
ines." Will Wickland: instrumental
duet, Frances Littlelield and Elda Jack
son; Address, "Piloting Tourists Over
Mitchells Point," Clarence Miller; rec
itation, Evelyn Hashrouck; recitation,
Kuth Howell; solo, Jack Stanton; reci
tation, Bessie liams. Debate, "Con
servation of Natural Resources." Jul

and Walter Nichol the negative. Solo,

The high school football team jour
neyed to Stevenson, Wash., last Friday
and they returned that evening tired,
but happy. For they really beat Stev
enson, 140. Now it was a different
Stevenson that played Friday from the
one that lost to us 190 two weeks
ago. They had been getting in some
real hard practice and their line was
almost indomitable. Hood River won
by trick plays and good headwork.
Tomorrow the high school plays
Camas high on our own grounds. Now
Camas has a bad reputation. They
have beaten everything they have run
up against so far. So this game should
he belter than the former games this
season.
The people of Hood River should
come out more to these games. It; is
well worth your while. Take an inter
est in what the coming generation is
doing. For the students certainly ap
preciate it. And then, too, the Fresh
men. You have not been coming out
enough to the athletic contests. Not
even for the class games, which cost
nothing. You should take a greater
interest in the school. In time the
class of 1919 will be seniors and then,
if they haven't been through the mill,
Hood River high school will begin to
depreciate.
The sophomore class held a candy
sale last week, and if there had been
more candv to Ml greater would have
been the pMt(a therefrom. Aa it was
they netted only about $3.60.
A very strange thing has happened
at the high school this year. Usually
the boys have fun by wearing their
class colors, while the hoys of the oth
er classes try to relieve them of their
decorations. However, this year the
boys have paid no attention to that,
while the girls have. It has been an
unwritten law among the girls that no
frosh girl shall be allowed to walk as
far as across the Bchoul yard with the
frosh colors, green and white, on. And
for the past few weeks it has been woe
unto the freshman girl who displays
any nerve.

SKOOKUM SOLD TO
STEINIIARDT & KELLY
The Fruit Growers' Exchange has
sold 2,500 boxes of its "Skookmn"
brand to Steinhardt & Kelly, New
York handlers of northwest box fruit.
The Bale was made by the Northwest
ern F'ruit Exchange, with which the
local agency iB affiliated. It is includ
ed in one of the largest f. o. b. sales
reported this season, the Exchange
having sold its entire "Skookum" pack
from all its affiliated district associa
tions to the one New York firm. While
the total tonnage and the price per,box
is not made public, the net returns, it
is stated, will be more than 130,000.
"The Skookum brand, says Ken
neth McKay, "is the cream of the ex
tra fancies of the commercial varieties.
Our limited supply of this grade, but
2,500 boxes, shows the proportion of
extra fancy fruit is very scarce in the
northwest.
