ENORMOUS APPLE; CROP HARVESTED 16 MILE TRAIN WOULD BE REQUIRED 7,200,000 Feet of Lnmber Used in Boxes 21 Carloads of Paperd 40 Tons'ot Nails Used Literally speaking, the town of Hoed River is fairly bursting with apples. I he cold rooms of storage planta have been filled Uncapacity 'andjaisles and areawaya bave been piled to the ceil ing with tier after tier of bulging box es. Every .available vacant""Bpace in the city ia being loaded "with fruit. The basements of business blocks, empty amusement halls and storerooms and a vacated parlor of a funeral director bave been turned into apple receiving stationa and now give forth the fra grant aroma of the Spitzenburg, the Newton and the Northern Spy, And atill the wagons of growers in long files daily unload their burdens of luscious fruit. Practically every sec tion of the town's business district during the daylight hours and until late in the evening presents scenes typical of the produce and commission quarters of large cities. Store fronts, the win dows of which may display tobaccos or candies, socks or shirts, or the product of a grocer, are partially obscured at timea by the piled up heaps of fruit boxs. Business men, merchants and professional men are assisting in every manner in the protection of the great apple crop. The Apple ia now truly King in Hood River. Even at this late date the estimiates of the 1916 yield of fruit coninuea to swell. The Hood River apple crop is now conservatively placed at 1,600,000 boxes of fruit, and officials of sales agencies eay that at a minimum figure of 1,200,000 boxes of commercial varie ties and grades have been packed for distribution. The magnitude of the 1916 Hood River apple crop may be grasped when it ia announced that a total of more than 6,000 men, women and children were needed in the harvest. The great quantity of fruit may be further com prehended when furher statisitca gath ered on the material used in packing the fruit, ia digested. While the minimum quantity of ap ples loaded on a refrigerator car is 630 boxes, because bf shortage of freezers this season, an average of approxi mately 700 boxes will be Bhipped in each car. When the season is ended, it will have required 1,714 cars to han dle the apple crop. A refrigerator car, from croupier to coupler, measures ap proxiately 60 feet. A solid train car rying all of the packed apples of the Hood River valley would reach a dis tance of approximately 16 miles, about one-fourth the distance from Hood River to Portland. Every apple shipped from Hood Riv er, packed in one of the three gradse extra fancy, fancy or C grade requires a paper wrapper. Each box requires two sheets of lining paper and three sheets of layer cardboard. Twenty-one carloads of paper were the require ments for the 1916 crop. Figuring six feet to the box, a total of 7.200.000 feet of lumber were used in making apple boxes this year. Each box requires in the making 32 cement nails, of which there are 39,000 to the keg' Approximately 1,000 kegs, or 40 ton of these nails were driven into the boxes. The boxes cost growers an average of 10 centa each, the total outlay being 180,000. The total Northwestern apple crop is figured at an approximate 20.000 cars, or 14,000,000 boxes. Statistical data on the entire crop may be obtained, approximately, by multiplying Hood Kiver figures by 17. SPOKANE CONGRESS FAVORS UNIFORMITY At the concluding session of the Pacific Northwest Fruit Growers' con ference Saturday, the joint commission appointed by the governor of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana was instructed by the growers to work for uniform laws in the four states con cerning apple diseases,, grading ana packing, and to endeavor to ootain a system of state aid for marketing en terprises under state control. The instructions were adopted by a three-fifths vote after a sharp contest between advocates of federal and state control. The government control forc es, which were defeated, were headed by E. W. Koss, of North Yakima, wn., former Washington State Land Com miesoner. Opposition to uniform grading rules applying to all parts of the state was voiced bv ueoree Bienn. or jNortn iaa- ima, who declared that the growers of the Yakima valley objected to tne color requirement for Jonathan apples, be cause Bales in the early part of the season, before the apples had taken on full color, were prevented. A. f. Bateham. of Hosier. Ore., and A. C. Allen, of Medford, Ore., protested sgainst relaxing atandards, Mr. Allen declaring that a district which could not grow an apple meeting standard requirements should drop that variety Mr. Ross asserted that it was ridicu lous to apeak of uniform fruit laws for four atates. "You can't have uniform grade and Dack laws for waashington alone, be said. "It is ridiculous to speak of Duttine the Wenatchee district into the same class with the islands of Puget Sound or Yakima in the same class with the Palouse. The horticultural commissioner should be allowed to ea tablish different standards for each district. Federal regulation only will rive nractical omformity." On a standing vote the motion for uniformity in state laws was declared carried, 33 to 21. . GEODETIC SURVEY CREW REPORT IN The completion or the observing on an arc of primary trtangulation which extenda 630 miles from northern Utah northwestward to the Columbia river in northeastern Oregon, thence west ward down the Columbia to Portland, ia announced from ita Washington, D. C. office by tba United Stataa coait.and geodetic aurvey. About 100 stationa have had their latitudes and longitudes accurately determined and as they have been sub stantially monumented with concrete blocks, which have iascribed metal tableta. they will be available for (fen erations as starting points at federal, state, boundary and other surveya and engineering works. The party, under C V. Hodgson, making this survey, used for the first time automobile trucks on primary triangulation and they proved so suc cessful, that all other aureying partiea engaged on similar work will use this meana of communication. The trueka carried the party and outfit to the base ot the peaks on which observations were made with the theodolite. The camp equipage and instruments were carried from the truck to the top of the peaks by horsea or by the members ot the party. Accurate elevations of numerous mountain peaks were determined by this survey. In fact, the" report states, it ia only by such methods as were employed that reliable elevation of peaks can be obtained. It ia not feasible to run linea of apirit levels up the mountain sides and barometric lev eling gives only crude results. Most of the observationa were made at night by use of acetylene lamps. the longest distance observed being 134 miles. Mr. Hodgson was' a schoolmate of Prof. J. W. Crites and while in Hood River last summer paid Prof. Crites a visit. The strong search lighta used by the geodetic survery crew produced a bril liant light that was watched with in terest last summer by the guests of Homer Rogers' Mount Hood Lodge. ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS AID IS SOUGHT With its request for cooperation in making the 1916 Red Cross seal sale the most successful in state history and ts announcement or. tuberculosis Sunday," which will be observed either December 3 or 10. the Oregon Associ ation for the Prevention of Tubercu losis brings a record of accomplishment which jusistfies the original declaration that "every seal sold ia a bullet in the war against the Great White Plague." Efficient organisation, low adminis trative cost and personal service free ly given by public spirited citizens bave combined to -make every dollar contributed toward the work of the Association practically do the work of two. "Tuberculosis Sunday" furnishes a reason for definitely carrying the now state-wide debate for preventitive effort against the disease and adequate care of the stricken into every pulpit and before every church audience of Oregon. It will be made a time, too, for gratitude and thankfulness because of the great economic and humanitar- an value of the results obtained. The Oregon Association for the Pre vention of Tuberculosia has commenced survey of the state, county by county. The surveys in Lane, Clatsop, Jackson, Josephine and Washington counties have been completed. Re sults will be announced in detail when the work is done. The survey has already proven that by its means information never before gathered will be tabulated. The facil ities or lack of facilities for the care, treatment, and prevention of tuber culosis in each county will be shown. The number of cases will be listed and segregated as to whether they are incipient, moderately advanced or far advanced, and also as to the number of cases reported before the survey and the number reported as a direct result of it. The survey will provide for each county a history of the disease in that county, indicating its increase or decrease, how many of the afflicted contracted the trouble within the county and the number that bad the disease when they moved into the county. Then it will be shown how tuberculosis is distributed as to cities, towns and rural communities. Cities and towna having city hospitals, clinics and dispensaries, school inspection, and open air rooms will be designated. The county a care of tuberculosis patients in such institutions as jails and poor farms will be discussed and whether the county has a relief board and what assistance ia granted in tuberculosis cases. The survey is definite and thorough and its value to all health and public officials will be bo great that the work has the hearty approval and full co operation of the Oregon State Board of Health. The proceeds of this years a sale of Red Cross Seals will be used to carry on the survey and to maintain tne preventive work organised by the Association. OVERLANDERS TO EAT HOOD RIVER APPLES The distribution of a big block of Hood River applea will be a feature of the national convention of Overland motor ear dealera to be held at Toledo in early December. C. F. Gilbert and Harry T. DeWitt, local dealera of the motor car company, are supervising the packina of the apples, each of which will be enclosed in a special wrapper bearing the imprint of an Overland model. Messrs. Gilbert & DeWitt will leave Hood River for Toledo next Saturday The Overland Motor Car Co. expects to spend a total of $1,000,000 on the big convention. All dealers are in vited to take with them their bankers. The total expenaea of dealera while away will be limited to $75, the Over land Co. paving the remainder. While away Mr. DeWitt will visit with bla mother, who resides at Ada, Ohio, a short distance from Toldeo. THIS IS FIRE LADDIES'DAY FOOTBALL AM) DANCE CHIEF EVENTS Thanksgiving Annually Devoted to Making Merry With Volunteer Department and Helping Raise Needed Funds In Hood River one never thinks of Thanksgiving without at the same time giving mental recognition to the Hood Kiver Volunteer fire denartment. Thanksgiving day ia annually given over to activities of the fire laddies. On the afternoon of every Thanksgiv ing day the football teams of the Hood River Volunteer fire department and the Hood River high school meet in serious conflict at Columbia park. Thanksgiving night Hood River people en masse turn out and trip the light fantastic with the firemen, their wives and their sweethearts. Everybody goea to tne hremen a ball, and everybody haa a good time.and incidentally every body helps raise funds much needed by the fire boys in replenishing each year the funds of their depleted treasury. from last night, when the bonfire on the Hartley block lighted the ancient fir trees and the oaks, relics of original forests saved from the axe of the city builder, the annua) fireman's celebra tion began. The aerpentine was gaily danced by beardless youths of the high school and the bewbiskered members of the fire department. Chief Morgan, as grimly sreious as Greene at the Battle of Cowpens,made a few remarks urging his boys to do their best. And today, after you have eaten your turkey and your cranberry "sass" and hie yourself witn the wife and kiddies up to the recreation center of the Heights, you will find the Chief and his assistants forming the vanguard of Volunteer fire department rootera Whoever wins, this afternoon a game ia going to be a good one. it is the most interesting football game of the season because of the fact that it brings Hood River out on ene common footing ;you may not be serry if you do not go; for in ignorance ia blias. but you will be mighty glad that you ve gone, if you do take the trip and join the rooters. The lineup of the firemen's team ia given as follows: Dutch Howard, cen ter; Dutch Frans. left guard: Bill Huggina, right guard. ; Bung Button. right tackle: Lucky Lancaster, left tackle ; Geg Franz, left end ; Rud Ira holz, right end ; Deacon Coshow, quar ter back; Hicka Button, right half; Pug Ford, left half; jack Santon, full back. Jumbo Shay. Bill Tolman. Wilbur Haynes and brick Lafferty, subs. Officials have been named as follows: Earl Weber, of Mosier Uni versity, referee; Crawford C. Lemmon, university ot Viento, umpire; and T. D. Waldie, Fowerdalo Institurte, head lineman. The game last season ended la a tie 7 to 7. From the merits of the twe teams this year, according to their re spective supporters, the result of this season should be slightly closer. At a meeting of the athletic commit tees of the high school and fire depart ment, it was decided to appropriate the money 60 per cent to the high school and 40 per cent for firemen. A new pigskin will be used. The ball is now on display in the show window of the Frani Hardware Co. The winning team will get the ball. An appeal is made by the students of the high school to have valley orchard-' ists turn out for the ball game. The students turned out and assisted in har vesting the apple crop, and the beys and girla are believers in reciprocity. HOOD RIVER BANKS SHOW MATERIAL GAIN Local bank clearances and deposits are heavier at the present time and show a more pronounced prosperity than at any time for the past four years. The total deposits of Hood Kiver a three banking institutions show deposits more than $175,000 greater than at the same time last year, ae spite the fact that heavy demands have been made in paying off the nu merous transient laborers who have participated in the harvest of the bumper apple crop. Maximum figures taken on dates Be tween November I and the present time, show an increase in deposits of approximately $100,000 for the Butler Banking (jo. : 4U.ouu lor tne r irst na tional Bank, the deposits net, showing no expansion of loans ; and $38,000 for the Hood River State Bank. The total deposits of the three Insti tutions, on date of maximum figure for November.reach the sum of $5)48, 748.4b. UNDERWOOD DISTRICT BONDS ARE SOLD A bond issue of $8,000 floated by the Underwood irrigation district, was aold here last week through Geo. R.Wilbur, attorney for the district, to the Butler Banking Co., a price of par having been paid for $5,000 of the bonds and 97 centa for the remaining $3,000. R. W. Rea. emgneer for the Under wood district, who ia also handling aa engineer the big $1,000,000 project at Prineville, estimates that the proceeds from tba bond sale will be sufficient to complete construction work, a half of which ia already nnianea. A total of 328 acres will be watered by the new system, covering what is known as the Underwood Flat orchard diatrict. The water will be drawn from the White Salman river a short distance below the giant dam of the Northwestern Electric Company. One hundred and four feet will be taken down atream for a quarter of a mile. Only four feet of the water, however, will reach the irrigable area, tne re mainder being required to drive the hydraulic pump that will be installed. Underwood fruit growera, whose placea will be watered by the new system, are: G. E. Hussey, H. C. Lowden, W. B. Rine, G. A. Cooper, A. B. Brooks, E. C. Goddard, Mrs. H. R. Hedrlck and W. F. Potter.
