1917 OUTLOOK
IS FLATTERING
APPLE MARKET SHOWS FINAL RALLY
Condition, it is Predicted, Will Have a
Good Effect on the Deal of the
Coming Season
Basing their predictions on the keen
rally in the demand for Northwestern
appples at the present time, local ap
ple marketing agency officials are ex
pressing a decided optimism over the
outlook for the 1917 apple deal.
Although the supplies on hand for
this late date in the marketing season
exceed those of any like date for for
mer years, the Apple Growers Associ
ation reports marketing conditions at
the present time as exceedingly active.
At the close of business Saturday, the
Association was 60 carloads short on
filling its orders. Approximately 60
telegrams calling for apples, were de
livered to the office of Sales Manager
Sieg Saturday by the Western Union
office.
"This condition, following on the
usual dull period during and just fol
lowing the Christmas holidays is phe
nomenal," said Mr. Sieg. "My orders
have been coming in so fast that I
called for a conference of warehouse
men Sunday in order that I might take
a thorough inventory of my stock be
fore I can confirm the orders received.
The condition that prevails is, in my
mind, prophetic of a good apple mar
ket for next fall. We have been accus
tomed to seeing the late apple market
go to pieces, and purchasers of fruit
grumbling over losses that they have
incurred, have hesitated about making
heavy purchases the following season
The condition of this year is going to
put a good taste in the mouths of buy
ers, and we are going to hear from
them next year, the condition that
prevails here is general over the North
west." The loading spur and warehouses of
the Association present the busiest
scenes in Hood River at the present
time. Although the total tonnage of
the Association reached 1,250,000 boxes
for the 1916 season, all but approxi
mately 100 carloads of the fruit has
been shipped. The stock remaining in
storage consists of extra fancy and
fancy Newtowns.
CITY HAS BEST OF
POKER MATERIAL
Although City Marshall J. K. Carson
is still where Moses was when the
lights went out, it has recently been
learned that the city of Hood River
has some of the best poker material
discovered since the days of "Roaring
Camp" or "Silverado. ,r The Chief will
hnd the paraphernlia, but it is assured
us that no arrest will follow. But all
good citizens of the city who want the
best that their money can buy will also
find the home of "Aces," and there in
vest. This article is not intended to be a
mystery. When you are going to have
some petered out portion of your in
nards removed, in other words, when,
following a reliable diagnosis you are
contemplating v a surgical operation,
you are going to get the best surgeon
available. You are certainly not going
to allow some unknown, newly fledged
M. D. slice you up. No, let him first
try his scalpels on the dog.
When you want the best apples, you
buy Hood River Spitzenburgs and New
towns. When you want any article,
you go for something that you know,
something that has stood the test, and
so when you want electrical supplies of
a known quality, of a name that bears
not only our guarantee, but the name
that it has taken years of hard work to
create, you visit the Apple City Elec
tric Supply shop on Third street, E. S.
Colby, Irop.
Powder Used in Ditching
Orchardists have found the use of
blasting powder an efficient aid in
clearing land of the stumps of forest
trees and beneficial in disintegrating,
through deep subterannean explosions,
hard soil formations, thus allowing
roots to penetrate to a greater depth.
It remained for a demonstation Mon
day on the W. H. Hamann ranch in
the Bloucher section to prove that pow
der may be put to practical use in
opening ditches. With sticks of the
giant powder inserted at equal dis
tances in a string below the earth's
surface, S. J. Frank, local dealer for
the Trojan Powder Co., and J. ross,
the Portland representative of the con
cern, showed that a 50 foot length of
ditch could be opened at a single explo
sion. f rankton District Remains Intact
The petition of residents of Frankton
school district, that a portion of the

afternoon bv the county school boun
dary board. While the petitioners de
clared that residents in the territory
involved in the proposed change would
be better served in that their children
would be able to attend the city schools,
others of the Frankton district argued
that such a move would materially
cripple the efficiency of the school to

WOMEN TO PRESENT
DR. LINDLEY SOON
The members of the Woman's club
will present Dr. Ernest H. Lindley,
visiting professor at Reed College,
Portland, from Indiana, in lecture at
the high school auditrium next Thurs
day evening, Feb. 22, Dr. Lindley is
said to be one of the most interesting
talkers who has ever visited Oregon.
His subject will be"Modern Pioneers."
In a letter to Leslie Butler Friday
Dr. Wm. T. Foster, president of Reed
College, says : .
"You ought to let your people know
that there is no hall in Portland large
enough to hold the audiences that are
trying to hear Dr. Lindley. Last night
at the Central library 200 people re
mained standing throughout the lec
ture and many stayed for a half hour
afterward to ask questions, even
though there was still standing room
only. Janitors tell me that 300 wore
turned away could not even get into
the hall. These facts, I think, are most
significant Your people will be
greatly pleased with his lecture."
lhe members of the Woman s club
should be commended for their efforts
in bringing Mi. Lindley here. The
club is not endeavoring to make any
money out of the lecture, but it is de
sired that the sum be raised to pay the
expenses of the lecture.
To encourage the work of the wo
men, the citizens of Hood River should
give the lecture their most liberal pat
ronage. Pre-Convention Raily

CO-OPERATION
ISKEYNOTE
THE DALLES CLUB MEN VISIT OTY
Wasco County Citizens Promise Their
Best Aid In Securing Proposed
Loop Highway
At a get-to-gether meeting of the
Commercial club and representatives,
members of The Dalles Chamber of
Commerce here Monday night, the two
bodies agreed to cooperate in an effort
to secure the hasty construction of the
proposed Mount Hood Loop highway,
that will connect the Columbia River
Highway with the old Barlow road,
which crosses the Cascades to the south
of Mount Hood.
The cooperative work of Monday
night dispelled all former feelings
among local citizens and men of The
Dalles to the effect that the two cities
were working along antagonistic lines
for this proposed highway construction.
The Dalles men assured the Ixal club
that thev would back all movements
toward securing the mountain high
way, provided the Hood River people
reciprocated in assisting The Dalles in
securing a seven mile spur that will
connect Wasco county highways with
the Loop.
The Dalles men announced that a
portion of the recently voted 8200. 000
Wasco county highway bond issue fund
would be devoted in surfacing a road
to a point within seven miles of the
Loop road.
lhe visiting men from The Dalle.
were: J. W. Brewer, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, R. W. King,
K. S. Wittenberg, Geo. Chenowith and
Stanley Armstrong.
While here the men stopped at the
Hotel Oregon.
RED CROSS BALL
WAS SUCCESSFUL
This brilliant and fashionable affair
was created in the brain of R. W. Kel
ly, known familiarly as "Buck," and
more recently as "Reverand." It is
rumored in political circles that Buck
is an aspirant of the position of Door
man at the new postoffiee, to which
will be attached a salary of $35 per
annum and one uniform-
Much credit is also due Stewart Kim
ball, who it is alleged, once held a very
high office in Europe, also to his broth
er, Fordham, who has wonderful mag
netic charms, which appeal to and at
tract the opposite sex. Tratford Smith,
as master of ceremonies, was both im
pressive and expressive, and Mort ilol
brook has to be complimented on the
able and artistic manner in which the
flag was hung on the wall.
Ted Pooley. husband of Mrs. rJ. K.
Pooley, has to be highly commended for
his mdefatiguable energy, and wonder
ful ability as a chauffeur.
Mention of the lady workers include
Mrs. Dorothy Pooley, who walked from
the Pooley ranch (a distance of seven
miles) every day solely to serve the
Ked Crops interests and the conee.
Mrs. Trafford Smith, who had charge
of the culinary department, has to be
complimented on the size ot the cake,
and the thinness of the sandwiches.
After supper a new surprise was sprung
bv George Hitchcock, who auctioned
off the remaining cakes. Mr. Hitch
cock showed rare ability in this, and
strengthened the rumor that he was
once connected with a circus.
We must thank Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
Kolstad for the donation of their musi
cal services and best thanks are also
tendered to the merchants of Hood
River who willingly donated and helped
to make the event successful. The
sum of $110 was collected for the Red
Cross fund. Contributed.
Knights and Ladies of Security
A new Council of the Knights and
Ladies of Security was organized on
the Heights last Thursday evening in
Taylor's hall. L. M. Thomas, of Port
land, state manager, was present ana

tion. The officers elected and installed
were as follows: President, Hubbard
Talyor; vice president, Mrs. Taylor;
second vice president, Arthur Falcon-

conductor. Violet Huperman ; prelate,
J. A. Marshbank ; guard, Alva Hard-
man; sentinel, W. D. Kogers; trustees,
Daisy Rogers, W. M. Hart, Mrs. Mil
ler.
Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Craven, the or
ganizers of the new Council, have re
cently moved to Hood River from The
Dalles and will make their future
home in this city. They will continue
the work for the order here until 100
or more members are secured, after
which new Councils will be organized
at Parkdale and Mosier.
Musical Work Under Way
The work of the music department
of the Womans club for 1917 com
menced very auspiciously with the
pupils recital held at the, high school
auditorum on January Z4. Kareiy gooo
work was displayed by the young peo
ple of Hood River. In fact the city
bids fair to develop into a real musical
colony. After next meeting the -department
will hold its meetings but
once a month at Library hall on Thurs
day evenings, instead of Tuesday as
formerly. With the longer intervals
between even more finished programs
than heretofore given are promised.
Everyone is urged not to miss this fine
opportunity for musical education
within our own city.
. The next program will be devoted to
German music, the richest in all musi
cal literature, and will occur at Li
brary hall Wednesday evening, r eb,
21.
Artillery Ball Next Thursday
Washington's birthday will be cele
brated here next Thursday evening by
the members of the Artillery club with
a grand ball at the Armory. The
event plans for which are under way
by Walter Ford, will be one of the best
of the season. A number of novel fea
tures, Mr. Ford says, will be sprung.
E. W. Bailey was a business visitor
in Portland the latter part of last
week.
