COLUMBIA PARK
WILL BE DEDICATED
The new National park which hts
been crested in the 14,000 scies skirt
ing the Columbia river along the high
way for 23 miles between Hood hivei
and Wairendale, will be dedicated at
the same time sa the Columbia river
highway, at the opening of the 1916
Portland Hose festival, if possible.
The Chamber of Commerce baa al
ready taken up the matter of the dedi
cation With Chief forester Uravea sno
the Department of agriculture, and ii
ia thought that there will be little
trouble in putting the matter through.
Ihe improvement of the National
park will be begun aa aoon aa the
weather permits, and a joint commit
tee appointed from the forestry service
and from the Chamber of Commerce,
at the suggestion of Chief Korestei
Uravea, will begin considering plane
for the development of the park at
once. -
The land included in the new reaervt
waa open to lease entry for perioos up
to 30 yeara. by private individuals.
Wben the Chamber began ita campaigi
there were more than a dosen applica
tions for entry in the Eagle Creek dist
rict alone, and movements were oi
foot which would speedily have thrown
the whole of it into what would prac
tically have amounted to private own
ership, under government leases.
One of the plana for development of
the park is the establishment of sum
mer camping facilitiea in Eagle Creek
wbicb will be available to the public al
practically no cost. The committee
believes that this can be developed in
time for next summer.

PREMIUM APPLES
ASSOCIATION AIM
"Apples that wlO demand a premium
in the country's irarketa," has been
made the slogan of the Apple Growers
Associstion. "There is no place in the
northwest. " dtclarea Wilmer Sieg,
"that baa worked harder the paat sea
ton to take care of the trade than baa
Hood River. We have trade a record
and every box of the 600 000 boxea that
we have ahipped baa eacb.d the buyer
in good condition. It baa been grati
fying to us the past aeveral weeka to
receive from apple merchants in msny
maiketa letters thanking us for the
cere we have given our pack and for
the preparation we nave given ship
ments." All csrs of sppl.s shipped from Hood
River this sesson have been fitted with
psper linings and fully insulated with
falae fl o s. Ibe fruit bss been tsken
cere of safely without resorting to csr
hesttrs.
"We have never found the beating
aervice very reliable," aaya Mr. Sieg.
"The cara are uaoally heated at far aa
Chicago, and between that point and
New York no beat ia used. As a re
sult, st least wt bsve found it so by
experience, the fruit becomes damaged
en route to New York."
With the exception of aome apples
that are being held for the Pacific
coast trade all the Aaaociation'a atock
of red varietiea have been cleaned up.
Newtowna have been going out this
week at the rate of 25 to 80 cars ptr
day for export to England. Norway
and Bolland. 'Ibe As6ociation'a crop
of Newtowna will reach approxiniaetly
300 curioads. Mr. Sieg states that
apace lor foreign abipmenta haa been
reserved sa late aa March.
Ihe local crop will be cleaned up
earlier thia season than every before in
the history of the valley.
"This is oue," esys Mr. Sieg, "to
thu splenuid cooperation that haa been
maintained between the local office and
that maintained in New York under
charge of H. r'. Davidaon, wha bas
cooked the apsce for export ship
ments." "
