HOOD RIVER GLACIEK? THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21. 1916 BOYS DISPLAY RARE RESOURCEFULNESS Although neither of tbe boy a it over 10 yeara of age. Lealie, aon of Mr. and Mra. W. R. Sherwood, and Embly, aon of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Howard, dis played a resourcefulness last week that might not be equalled by adulta. Tibe boys were hauling alabwood to the Howard home from the Ruthton planer, driving the old family horse, Tom, gentle to a fault. Near the top of the Ruthton grade, the horse refused- to budge. Under the weight of tbe heavy load ha was taking intermittant backward steps, and finally the wagon'a rear wheels rested against a bank at tbe roadside. After waiting patiently for the pass age of some good Samaritan driver, the boya for a time were nonplussed. Sighting a piece of alabwood that had fallen over the side of a flume that passes by tbe roadside to the planer, young Leslie was quick to put into ex execution his thoughts. He was pos sessed of a atubby pencil. Picking op a piece of paper on tbe road he wrote: . "Tom has baked." The note, tied with a handkerchief to the piece of alabwood was soon in the hands of men at the planer receiv ing lumber from the mill. The quar ter of a mile distance was soon trav ersed by the Howard lad's father, and "Tom" and tbe load of wood were assisted to the top of the steep hill.

"Conditions are such in the Middle West," declares Mr. Bruner, "that tbe northweattrn- apple grower ahould re ceive a nice price for bis product this year. Business ia booming in the man ufacturing cities of the Middle West and East. Aa an inatance, the Oliver Typewriter Co. of my vicinity ia not making so many typewriters perhaps aa usual, but the factory, with a few changea made, ia turning out thousands of shells for the allied armies." Mr. Broner, who has visited Hood River on former banner crop years, deelarea after a visit to orchard tracts tost he has never seen a finer yield of fruit or better quality than of apples now maturing. . Mr.and Mrs. Bruner are accompanied by their niece. Miss Hazel Tobin, also of Hoc k ford.

Framz Company PEARS COMPARED WITH APPLES Geary Tells of New York Investiga tions During: the three years that the writer was in charge of an orchard in southern Oregon, which were 1910-11-12-13, he waa impressed with the fact that the net returns on applea were variable and unsatisfactory while the pricea received for the pears of the Rogue River valley netted profit and were satisfactory. Year after year, tbe growera of Cornice, Boac, D'Anjou and Winter Nellia peara have received pricea varying from $1-75 to $4 f. o. b. shipping point. Tbe main problem with us in southern Oregon baa been that of production. The returna have been uniformly good. This ateady icale of remunerative pricea baa not been due to the fact that these fruita are not grown elsewhere. Tbe Bosc ia grown extensively in New York and in many other localities. Tbe Winter Nellia, the D'Anjou and Cornice are grown on a large scale in the Sac ramento valley and can be grown in other fruit producing sections. The Bartlett pear is grown in Texas, Colorado, New York, Michigan and in practically every fruit growing section of thia country. Despite the fact that Bartletta must be harvested and mar keted during a very short period of time and that they are grown every where, they have been a profitable crop in the Rogue River valley. Bothered considerably by the unsat isfactory returna received for apples, I determined to take my law course at Columbia Unieraity, where I could get acquainted with market conditiona pre vailing in New York, the largest mar ket in the world. During my law course in New York, 1 spent Saturday afternoons and summer vacationa get ting acquainted with the jobbers, agents, brokers, commission men, auc tioneers and the other factors in the New York market. Pears Sold at Auction A matter that surprised me waa that pears and all these other fruita from the Pacific coast, prunes, cherries, or anges and lemons, aa well aa fruits from Sicily, Spain, Florida, Cuuba, Ja maica and Venezuela were sold through the great daily clearing house auction, held either at Erie Pier 20 or at the Fruit Auction building, 204 Franklin street, while the box apples were dis tributed mainly through a few large commission houses. I found that these commission houses were selling the bulk of the box apples not to retail stores and the like, but to wholesalers. It appeared to me then, just as it ap pear now, that the apple raising indus try of the northwest ia doomed to dis aster and to final bankruptcy if each box of applea must contribute to the up-keep of a local association or organ ization, to a New York representative of the association, to a big commission house apple operator, to a small whole sale dealer, and finally to the retailer, hotel, steamship or railroad company I asked every New York market man that I met why it waa that box apples were not put through these great clear ing bouses where they gather the trade of the city and neighboring territory each day. The representatives of tbe California and Florida shipping; associ ationa, as well as the repreentatives of some of the larger agencies operating in 'the northw-.it, answered me that applea should go on the auction and undoubtedly would in time. They in formed me of the fact that the north western apples were being sold at auc tion in England and Germany. But when 1 put thia question, aa I often did, to these box apple operators, 1 received such conclusive answers as "It won't work." Light Breaks Gradually it "dawned" that twelve or thirteen commission houses in New York City had a monopoly of the box apple business, and that this was not true of any of the branches of the fruit business that went through the auction These box apple operators were and are buying fruita f. o. b. in Florida and selling them at auction in New York iii preference to using their own stores, tecause the shippers in Florida have taken exclusive control out of their hands These big operators were getting supplies Mr that portion of their bUBi nesa which has had to do with furish- ing the retailers from the daily auc tions, while they were selling through the auctions to the less than carlot wholesalers, "string store'' represen tatives, hotels, railroads and steamship companies, except the box apples, which went at private sale through their stores to both the retailers and the wholesalers. Trade Opposed to Box Apple I found an unsatisfactory spirit among the members ot tne trade re garding box apples. There waa no en thusiasm or speculation in their buy ing of box apples, as these had to be procured from one of the twelve or thirteen box apple operators. The ait uation was quite different with the other fruits, as members of tbe trade were on an equal basis with the big fellows at the daily auction aale. It is inherent that a man dislikes to pay a profit to a rival and that is what hap pens when "the less than carlot dealer buys box applea in New York City. All this explains why I went to the auction house and asked them for pic tures with which to illustrate a talk to be given among neighbors in the Rogue Kiver valley. I thought that it was time that through personal interest in the orch ard business, if through no other, some one should make an expose or the pres ent heartrending situation that con fronts tbe apple growers. There was a time a few years back when the box applea were bandied di rectly by tbe big apple operatora. ine output becoming larger, wider and more scientific distribuiton waa neces sary. Therefore the association and shipping organization grew up. Instead of taking the "bull by the horns" and eliminating the big oper ator, except when he pays cash for the products and runa the risk, the ship pers have ao far been forced to con tinue to use the big operator and in this way have created a top-heavy ma chinery of marketing that spells "dis aster" in large lettera for the apple growera of tbe northwest. It ia not in tbe nature of things that the box annla grower can support all of these institutions, pay high freight ratea and then only get narrow distri bution. Arthur M. Geary, Northwestern Bank Building, Paid Adv. Portland, Oregon. Dense Haze Monday Although, ao far as ia known, no for est tire was burning in the mid-Columbia district, a pall of smoke waa bang ing over Hood River Monday. The haxe waa heaviest in the Columbia river gorge, and the outlinea of tbe Wash ington bank of the Columbia were al most obscured. MRS. F. S.
