Poultry man Warehouse at foot of 5th Street STRANAHAN & CLARK PRUNE RETURNS SHOW NEARLY $5000 NET From the Mosiet Bulletin Tne full ears of prunes, containing 132 tons or 10,465 crates, besides 200 crates shipped by express will net the local growers nearly $5000 with the fruit sold at $35 f. o. b. Mosier. Last year the growers netted about $3000 on 175 tons at $14 per ton which were shipped in bulk to the dryer on ac count of the paralyzed green fruit market. This year the crop was lighter than usual due, no doubt, to the cool weather this spring, although all fruit that matured is extra good in quality, A normal croD here would be 200 tons. C. J. Sinsei, of Boise, Idaho, who had charge of the packing of the crop, stated upon leaving Tuesday night that he was well pleased with the local crop and situation in general and was so positive in hiB statements that he declared that the local association might just as well reserve the crop for next year for he intended to buy it. All local help was employed in pack ing the prune crop and $675 has been disbursed among those who assisted in this work. VOTERS MUST DECIDE UPON ONE ROUTE (From the Hosier Bulletin) Decreeins that the citisens and tax payers of Mosier must decide upon one of two routes to be undertaken in the proposed bonding issue which comes up for, a vote at the general election in November, two petitions to the county court, one favoring the Dry Creek route and tne otner proposing that the road be constructed over the present Seven Mile hill route, have been left at the Mosier Valley Bank to be aigned Friday and Saturday, Sep tember 15 and September 16. each and every taxpayer is nereoy notified to aopear at the Mosier Valley Bank and sisn either one or the other of the petitions, thus getting a detinue understanding as to wnicn route tne maioritv of the Mosier people favor. Citizens of The Danes are anxious to know the sentiment of the Mosier dis trict as a whole maintain that they are ready to back whatever plan re eeives the maioritv of supporters. ina peimons win men uo in iui banda of the county court Monday morning that tney may autnorise which route aball be voted upon lor bonding for eood roads. It will be no UBe. emphatically asserted the mem bera or the county court yesterday, lor any delegations to appear before them remonstrating against one plan or the other as has been done in the past. The matter absolutely rouBt be de cided bv sienine the petitions. It is up to the supporters or tne two proposed routes to sign the respective petitions either today or tomorrow. Call up L. J. Merrill at the bank or stop in and signify your choice of routes. The two bondine plana vary in sub stance as follows: If the Dry Creek route is adopted the bond issue will be for $260,000. Provided the Seven Mile hill route receives the endorsement of the maioritv of voters. $20,000 will be cut from the bond issue at this end of the county and $20,000 from the southern end, making the bond issue $220,000. It is the duty of each and every tax oaver to sisn the petitions, either one or the other. No time to be lost for the petitions must be in the hands of the County Court Monday morning. Without further parley, the petition receiving the largest number of signa tures favoring a certain route, will be adopted by the County Court as the route to be included in the bond issue. Be sure that a you sign a petition, GROWERS ORDER MORE BOXES FOR APPLES With growers of all sections increas ing their orders for contsiners, box factories of the Hood River Valley are running night and day. With warm days of the past week swelling the fruit to a good size, it is found that the earlier estimates of orchardists were placed too low, and the Hood River valley will probably come near er reaching the million box mark this Fall than on any former season. In round numbers the crop of commercial fruit to be packed and marketed is being placed at 900.000 boxes. While weather conditions, according to growers, is said to be just right for maturing the apples at proper sizes, the cool nights, with a temperature above the frost mark, are bringing about a heightened color, f or quality tho 1916 apple crop bids fair to out rank any of recent years. While a keen demand for apples is making itself felt through frequent visits of purchasers .from the eastern seaboard, no local agencies as yet have reported any extensive sales. Because of the railroad embargo placed just about the time bartlett pears were ready to move, according to local market men, thousands of dol lars were lost by Northwestern fruit districts. In instances the fruit had already been bought, and in such cases the . losses, of course, were borne by the purchaser. Since the d'Anjeu is a variety of pears that matures later and is chiefly sold to the export trade, the price con dition will not be affected to any great extent. The first carload of d'Anjous to roll from here was shipped by Robert FayBon Loomis, a fruit mer chant of New York City, who owns local orchard lands and who has been bere for the past several weeks. The Apple Growers Association shipments of d Anjous, estimated at 40 carloads, some 10 carloads more than last season, will not begin to move until this week. The d'Anjou crop" is about three weeks later than on last season. "While d'Anjous are long keepers and will ship for a great distance," says Wilmer Sieg, sales manager of the Association, "they must not be harvested until matured. If the fruit does not contain a proper amount of sugar, it will shrivel." Mr. Sieg declares that the total crop of marketable applea for the state of uregon will not exceed 2,000 carloads. Endorsed at Home Such Proof as this Should Convince Any Hood River Citizen The public endorsement of a local cit izen is the beet proof that can be pro duced. None better, none stronger, can be had. When a man comes forward and testifies to his fellow citizen?, addresses his friends and neighbors, you may be sure he is thoroughly convinced or he wuuiu noii ao so. leiung one s experi ence when it is for the public good is an act of kindness that should be apprecia ted.

POSSIBLE PROBE OF ORCHARD STOCK SALES County Judge El E. Stanton, presi dent of the Associated Fruit Growers, a corporation owning West Side orchard tracts bere and against wnicn it is stated in rumors postal inspectors are conducting an investigation to deter mine whether or not tne officials of tne concern used the mails for a possible fradulent disposal of stock, declared last week that he had no knowledge of such an investigation. "So far as my knowledge or the affairs of the company extend," says Judge Stanten, "no irregularities in the sale of our stock has ever occurreo. Personally. I have never sold a penny's worth of the stock. 1 do not know bow many have purchased stock in the company. The Associated r ruit Growers was organized year before last by the amalgamation of Weat Side orchards owned by Judge Stanton and wife and by Marquis & Kellogg. The capital stock of the concern was placed at J70.0OO, the property controlled being approximately 50 acres. A permit for the sale of stock, issued in November, 1914, wss revoked the latter part of last year. According to local rumors, R. F. Marquis, an officer of the company bad charge of the promotion of the sales of Block. Mr. Msrquis left bere last year, in the early summer juage Stanton made a sudden and hurried trip to St. Paul, where according to current reports he called on Mr. Mar quis in an endeavor to secure a reckon ing as to deala in connection with the fruit company. According to rumors Mr. Marquis' manipulations have re sulted in the postal investigations. Judge Stanton, however, denied any knowledge of sharp practices on the part of any associates. He was prone to lay the activities of those partici pating in an investigation involving the company to political animosities. Judge Stanton and wife .and the Associated Fruit Company have just been made defendants in a suit brought by K. J. Jarvis. a Willow Mat rancber, for foreclosure ef a mortgage for $6,000 on a 10 acre tract deeded by Judge Stanton and wife to the orchard corporation at the time of the organ ization of the concern. Nothing, how ever, appears irregular on the part of the president of the orchard concern in this proceeding. ROAD ARGUMENT CALLED CONVINCING (From the Oregonian) A project is under way for a first class trunk road through the Hood River Valley. Tbe design is not so much to attract tourists, though that has come to be important in Oregon, but to accommodate the producers, particularly the apple raisers. The Oregonian has no notion of ad vising the people of Hood River to approve this particular plan, nor to reject it; but it is willing to repeat to them, and to others, that a well-laid and well-builtjroad ia the best invest ment a community anywhere can make. It is much struck by the in genious and convincing nature of the argument made by some of the advo cates of the valley road plan and re produces it elsewhere. There is an attempt to show the average -citizen who in Hood River ia the spple grower in dollars and cents just what a good road leading to his market place means to him. It in volves a direct and substantial saving in money, in time, in wear and tear and comfort. If it be permissible to speak of the pleasure to be derived from a well-oraded permanent high way, where in the world can more of it be had than in Hood River? FEDERAL ACCOUNTANT HERE LAST WEEK J G. A. Nahtoll, an accountant of the Bureau of Markets of the United States Department of Agriculture, was bere last week visiting local fruit sales agencies in the interest of the Fruit Growers' Agency, Incorporated, the recently inaugurated clearing house concern formed by northwestern apple men. One of the clauses of the by-laws of the new agency provides that all affili ated sales concerns must conform to a stsdardized method of accouting. Mr. Natholl was visiting the Apple Growers Association and Fruit Growers' Ex change, local agency members, making suggestions for methods of bookkeep ing. Butter Kist Machine Installed An article of much interest to old as well as young is the new "Butter Kist" corn popper and peanut roaster at the store of the Consolidated Mer cantile Co. The machine is a hand some fixture for any store. All aides are enclosed by glass and the opera tions of corn popping and peanut roast ing may be plainly seen. While the heat for the oven is furniBhed by gas, the popper and roaster are moved by electricity. The butter for the crisp corn popped in a "Butter Kist" is applied auto matically as the corn rolls from the oven. "Butter Kist" corn has an ap pealing flavor that is winning it much favor. ( Pawpaws Served at Dinner A novel article for a Hood River ta ble, a number of paw paws, was served at the recent birthday dinner of Dr. Jesse Edgington. The fruit was raised on a farm near the old home of Dr. Edgington in Indiana. It was sent here by Indiana friends to J. W. Perigo. Paw paws, though elongated and larger, resemble persimmons. They are similar to pears in that they may be picked green and ripen in transit. The paw paws served at the birthday dinner of Dr. Edging tonx were just right to be palatable.
