HEARING IN FRUIT
CASE IS CONCLUDED
The circuit court hearing in the case
of the Hood River Orchard Company
vs. the Apple Growers Association was
brought to a close Monday afternoon,
when attorneys delivered their oral ar-
fuments before Judge Bradshaw, of
he Dalles. Testimony in the case
was concluded Saturday afternoon.
Attorneys for the Association are
Fred W. Wilson, of The Dalles, and A.
E. Clark, of Portland. E. C. Smith
and H. S. Wilson, the latter of Port
land, represent the plantiff concern.
Judge Bradshaw has taken the case
under advisement, but a decision at an
early date is expected.
No Hood River lawsuit has ever cre
ated a keener interest. The suit in
volving as passive defendants the ap
proximate 800 local apple growers,
who are members of the Association,
has caused the court room to be filled
despite the busy season.
The suit was bought for the purpose
of restraining the defendant sales or
ganization from making any distribu
tion of a surplus fund of $81,000 and
from using any part of it in the pur
chase of the storage plants and other
property of the old Hood River Apple
Growers' Union. The plaintiff concern,
owned chiefly by H. F. Davidson, can
celled its contract and severed its
membership with the Association on
March 20, last. Becapse of this action
the defendant sales agency contends
that rights of participating in the or
ganization's surpuls funds were for
feited. The complaint asks for a
permanent injunction to prevent the
Association from the purchase of the
Union plants, according to plans adopt
ed by practically a unanimous vote of
the members of both the Union and
Association just before the suit was
brought.
The Association's answer to the
plaintiff corporation's complaint re
views the entire history 'of the Associ
ation.which in 1913 was organized with
a total capital stock of $10,000, of
which $6500 was apportioned to the
Hood River Apple Growers' Unoin and
$3500 to the Davidson Fruit Co. The
storage plants of the Union and the
Davidson Co. were leased, each for a
term of 10 years. The brands of both
shipping concerns were released to the
Association. The next year the capital
stock of the organization was returned
by the lessors of the storage plants
and put in a trust fund for the benefit
of all grower members of the Associa
tion. When the original leases were
executed, according to the allegations,
Mr. Davidson, president and manager
of the Davidson Fruit Co., gave the
Association a contract that he would
not enter into the sale of fruit in the
Hood River valley during the term of
the lease. It is the contention of Mr.
Davidson that this contract was re
voked the next year, when he returned
to the Association the Davidson Fruit
Company's portion of the capital stock
of the Association.
At the time the Association was
founded the cooperative concern nego
tiated the purchase of the $65,000 stor
age plant of the National Apple Co.,
on the purchase price of which a sub
stantial payment has since been made.
It is contended by the counsel for the
defendant concern that the suit virtu
ally calls for the liquidation of this
property and all other assets, and that
if the plaintiff's contentions are
granted it will render the Association
' a mere brokerage concern without the
j power to hold properties of any kind.
J Through the testimony presented by
I the Association's attorneys it was
: shown that Mr. Davidson, as one of
the originators and directors of the
' Association participated actively in
the affairs of the cooperative organiza
tion which he is now questioning by
, his suit.

custom and the embarrassment of the
family in attempts to marry off the
older sister, many amusing complica

Men Thought Bootleggers Released
City Marshal Carson and Der"ij
Frazier believe that they solved the
recent mysterious appearance of liquor
in Hood River Monday night, when
they Brrested Ed Crew and Howard
Edwards, two well dressed young men,
in the low land jungles of the Colum
bia northwest of the city. Each man
carried a big bag on his shoulders, and
in each bag was a 10 gallon demijohn.
While the demijohns were empty they
smelled strongly of whiskey.
The suspicions of the officers were
aroused, Marshal Carson says, by re
maks they heard dropped tfround the
city and by frequent visits of local men
to the wast part of town. The officers
express the belief that they would have
been abje to apprehend the operators
in Actual bootlegging, if they had been
an hour earlier in their reconnoitre.
It is thought that the men have
brought their supplies here by river'
boats.
Edwards and Crew were released
from the city prison Tuesday morning
for lack of conclusive evidence.
HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
By Betty Epping
Last Wednesday we had a little
game of baseball with The Dalles and
they went home with the banner of
victory ; only by two points, though,
the score being 68. In the first
inning The Dalles made five runs on
us, while we made only one. Hood
River holding them down to three
in eight innings, we scored five runs
in the eight innings left. Errors were
very frequent on both sides. Jing
Johnson scored two hits for us ; Sam
uels made a nice double play.
Rood and Samuels play especially well
at the bases. All the boys play well
and are practicing up for the final
game to be played here June 1.
The manual training department will
hold an exhibit next week, beginning
Mondav. The exhibit will hn in the
manual training shop in the new high j
school annex. Everyone is invited to

vicinity. He says he judged from 10
a. m. until 12 p. m, but had a good
time anyway.
Friday ten members of the senior
play cast journeyed to The Dalles to
see the senior play, which is also
Green Stockings. They reported it a
great success and also a fine time
while there.

exams last Friday and Monday.
