BRITISH OPPOSED
TO BAN ON APPLES
Representative Sinnott, incident to
the fight he is making through the
State Department to obtain a ruling
from the British government which
will permit the shipment of Oregon
apples to' England this fall andwinter,
has uncovered in the State Department
files an interesting document showing
that British apple dealers and the con
suming British public are quite as
anxious to get Oregon apples as are
the Oregon growers to get into the
English markets.
Furthermore, the English apple deal
ers, wholesale as well as retail houses,
have petitioned the British govern
ment to let down the bars in order
that American apples may be shipped
to England from America.
In their petition to Sir Joseph Mac
Lay, of the Ministry of Shipping, the
British petitioners set forth not only
the demand for American apples and
the necessity for their admission, but
point out, with the backing of trans
atlantic steamship lines, that there is
ample space available for carrying
these apples to England.
This petition, filed with the British
Ministry ot Shpping on July 12, recites
that the petitioners, some 15 large
fruit and food associations of London
"and similar associations of Hull,
Bristol, Cardiff, etc., and all the prin
cipal apple importers of the United
Kingdomlwish humbly tojappeal to His
Majesty's government to reconsider
the prohibition placed at the present
upon the importation of apples. ' The
petition continues:
"Our aim is not to obtain shipments
of apples to the detriment of other es
sentials. They have been and can con
tinue to be carried when cargo booked
for certain steamers fails to connect,
owing to delay in transit or when, af
ter other cargo is loaded, the ship can
best be finished off by completing with
apples. In view of the weight of grain
and munitions, a certain quantity of
light freight is required for filling up
and from October to January, when
cotton is all shipped from southern
ports, applestare;almost the only light
freight available at north Atlantic
ports. They are promptly available at
loading ports, stow well, are easily
handled and quickly removed from
wharves after discharged. The ,de
mand on our transportation facilities
is, therefore, negligible, as compared
with the great benefit they bring to
the community.
"The following steamship companies
(who have regularly carried apples),
viz., the Leyland line, the Wilson Fur
ness Leyland line, Cunard line, White
Star line, Anchor line, the Manchester
Liners Ltd., Furness Withy lines, con
firm the statements made in the pre
ceding paragraph and, for the reasons
therein given, are desirous of having
permission to carry apples.
"The apple is, beyond all others, our
staple fruit. It enters so largely into
the daily dietary of our middle and
working classes as to constitute for
them an important article of food. In
the three pre-war seasons imports
from Canada and the United States
averaged over 8,000,000 bushels per
annum, most of which were consumed
in the great industrial centers of the
United Kingdom. Under the most fa
vorable conditions the supVdy of home
grown apples is totally inadequate and
is practically exhausted by the end of
October. This year British crops
promise to be very disappointing, if
not a failure. In the north of England
and in Scotland the quantity of apples
grown is negligible.
"Fruit and vegetable dealers, both
wholesale and retail, rely chiefly upon
imported apples to carry them through
the winter, even when there are full
supplies of lemons, oranges and grapes!
With these fruits greatly curtailed and
apples totally prohibited, the end of
September will find the fruit trade,
more especially retailers, face to face
with ruin. We desire to draw the at
tention of His Majesty's government
to the fact that the trades principally
affected will be the hundreds of thou
sands of small shopkeepers, many of
them women, who supply the working
classes and that, in addition to the in
dividual hardship inflicted in them, the
trade which constitutes the machinery
for distributing our home grown fruits
and vegetables will be crippled, if not
destroyed.
"We humbly submit to the consider
ation of His Majesty's government
these facts :
"(1) That apples can be shipped in
space which is not required for other
essentials.
"(2) That they have undoubtedly
great food value.
"(3) That prohibition of apple im
ports will be disastrous to an industry
of national importance
in the hope that they will be tound ad
equate to justify the removal of apples
from the prohibited list; and we shall
be glad to cooperate in any scheme
which may be formulated." g
Accompanying the foregoing petition
is a letter from the British apple im
porters and dealers going further into
the reasons why American apples are
desired in the English markets during
the coming season. This letter in part
says :
"Upon the subject of possible con
gestion of the quays in Canada and the
United States, which, it was men
tioned, might result from bringing ap
ples to seaboard in order to have them
available when space offered, we have
respectfully to submit that apples can
not be moved from the interior to the
seaboard for export unless the railroad
carriers have been satisfied that the
traffic will be taken care of promptly
after arrival, either by being loaded
on steamers in space previously and
specificially booked or by being placed
into warehouses. In the case of ap
ples they are stored in refrigerator
warehouses, all along the Atlantic sea
board, where they are immediately
available for prompt loading. Thus it
should be clear that'apples cannot in
any way bring about the slightest con
gestion. "The fact discussed and noted that
apples exported from Canada and the
United States move in ordinary stow
age on regular liners, as space per
mits; whereas shipments from Aus
tralia ana lasmama must ana ao move
in refrigerator space on board the
steamers. Furthermore, in regard to
Australian and Tasmanians apples, the
extension of some modificatibnof the
prohibition to admit them next season
need not necessarily be discussed for
many months to come.
"Thp removal of the embargo on ap
ples would not interfere with the
movement of lumber, since we seek
permission only to ship apples in space
not otherwise occupied on regular lin
ers. We believe, moreover, that the
regular liners do not generally carry
lumber either on deck or under deck
this because, after the government re
quirements for space are protected,
the remaining room must be used, if
at all, Tor light cargo.
When in Portland stop at the modern
Palace Hotel, at Washington and 12th
streets, in center of shopping and thea
tre districts. 11-tf
PACKING SCHOOL
VERY SUCCESSFUL
While other packing schools conduct
ed by the Apple Grower Association
have been attended by larger number,
Sam G. Campbell, the Association's
chief inspector.who hat been in charge
of schools for number of years, de
clares that he has never seen a more
successful school than that in session
last week. The school, which closed
Saturday, has been attended by a total
of 75.
"All of the students took a great in
terest in the work," says Mr. Camp
bell. "It is marvellous how quickly
they learned the system that we use
in packing the fruit. The reason for
this is, I think, that every man, worn
and child who attended the school this
season is directly interested in apple
growing. In; former years we have
taught many professional packers how
to put up the apples. This year we are
teaching our own valley people, and
therefore the school has been of more
value to us than ever before."
So quickly had the students entering
school on the first day learned their
lessons that Thursday they were set to
work actually putting up commercial
packs of King apples. -
Kaiser & Co.
The original version of "Hoch der
Kaiser" written by A. McGregor Rose
during the Boer war, when Oom Paul
went on a mission to solicit the aid of
Kaiser Wilhelm, and was recited in
Washington by Captain Coghlan of the
United States navy at a banquet and
upon complaint of the German govern
ment a reprimand was administered.
It is one of the most famous lampoons
in existence and is a keen satire on the
well known kaiserly character. The
text of the poem follows :
Der Kaiser of dis Fatherland
Und Gott on high, all dings command
Ve two ach ! Don't you understand?
Meinself und Gott!
He reignsjin heafen'and "always shall;
Und mine own emhire don't fvas

Und drink der health in Reinishwine
Of me und Gott.
Dere's France, she swaggers all

She will not dare to fight again

Glass Jar Shortage Hits Here
A glass jar shortage has been pre
vailing in Hood River during the past
several weeks. While grocers and sup
ply stores laid in a larger stock of jars
than usual, Hood River housewives
have canned more heavilythan ever in
the history of the valley. Fruits and
vegetables have been packed by the
thousands of jars.
Women are now engaged in canning
salmon, purchased from local commer
cial fishermen, fresh from nets and
traps. The demands of fish canners
soon cleaned out the supply of pint
jars. Many Hood River housewives
are also canning chickens.
Never Bothered Since
After suffering with terrible pains in
his back and around his kidneys for
eight years, and after having tried sev
eral doctors and different medicines, Al
vis Sotiers, Ade, Ind., writes: "Foley
Kidney Pills were recommended to me
and the first bottle removed the pain.
After'taking three bottles the bloating
was all gone and has never bothered me
since." When relief can be had so
quickly why not banish headache, rheu
matic paiti, stiff and swollen joints
caused by disordered kidneys? Sold
everywhere.'
Last of Bartletts Shipped
The Apple Growers Association last
week shipped the last of the 18 car
loads of Bartlett pears harvested this
season by the agency's affiliated grow
ers. The entire output of the Associa
tion was packed in regulation boxes
and shipped to far easternpointa under
refrigeration. - Growers ofjother ship
ping agencies sold their fruit this sea
son direct to canners.
The harvest of d'Anjou pears will be
at its height this week

PRAISES HIGHWAYS
When John G. Grenfell, an Idaho
motorist, stopped one day last week
to interview County Judge Blower
over the closing of the Highway be
tweenlhere and Cascade Lock he waa
asked nia opinion of the local roads.
"I heard before 1 left home," said
Mr. Grenfell, "and I have been hear
ing all the way fromlldaho that I had
better beware of Hood River county
roads. To my surprise I found the
road'between here and Mosier as good
as any of the highway my family and
I have traveled over between here and
our home."
Rarely a day passe that some one
does not endeavor to secure permission
from local authorities to run the bloc
ade of the Highway between here and
Cascade Locks. Many slip through in
the night time.
"Motorists slipping by the points
where work on the new route is in
progress," say Judge Blowers, "are
a source of great worry to the con
tractors and we have been asked to
make our ban against use of the road
absolute. One night last week motor
ists, using the road late at night, filled
a deep trench on the old road with
earth. The work of reopening the
trench required the work of several
men If or a considerable time the next
day.'1
SCHIFFLER BUILDING
NEARS COMPLETION
H.' Cramer is bringing to completion ;
the new two-compartment store build
ing on Oak street, replacing a wooden ;
structure destroyed by fire in the early
summer. The new building, a single j
story in height and with full base-1
ment, is erected entirely of concrete, I
with the front faced in marble. With i
large neat show windows the new
structure, owned by E. A. Schiffler, of
Pendleton, is one of the handsomest
retail houses in Hood River.
Plasterers have alreaylfinished 'their
tasks, and painters for the past week
have been engaged on the new struc
ture. The east side of the Schiffler
building will again be occupied by Per
igo & Son, the Star grocers.
Experience The Best Teacher
It is generally admitted that expe
rience is the best teacher, but should we
not make use of the experience of others
as well as our own? The experience of
a thousand persons is more to be de
pended upou than that ot one individual.
Many thousands of persons have used
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for
coughs and colds with the best results,
which shows it to be a thoroughly relia
ble preparation for those diseases. Try
it. It is prompt and effectual and pleas
ant to take.

Importance of Healthy
Kidneys.
Hood River Readers Should Learn to
Keep the Kidneys Well.
The kidneys have a big work to do.
All the blood in the body is coursing
through the kidneys constantly to be
freed of poisonous matter. It is a heavy
enough task when the kidneys are well,
but a cold, chill, fever or some thought
less exposure is likely to irritate, inflame
and congest the kidneys and interrupt
the purifying work.
Then the aching frequently begins and
is often accompanied by some signB of
bladder trouble. Thousands testily to
the wonderful merit of Doan's Kidney
Pills, a remedy for the kidneys only,
that has been used in kidney troubles 50
years. You will make no mistake in
following this Hood River woman's ad
vice. Mrs. W. H. Davis, Seventh and Col
umbia Sts., says: "I was so completely
run down that I could hardly drag my
self around, and for three months, I
wasn't able to do a thing.QMy back
ached and 1 felt so weak that at times I
could hardly stand up. My kidneys
acted irregularly. My limbs began to
bloat and I could hardly get my shoes
on, as my ankles were so badly swollen
My head ached and 1 felt miserable all
over. Medicine gave me only temporary
relief until I began using Doan's Kidney
Pills. When I had finished four boxes,
I felt like a different woman. 1 was
able to do all my work and could get
around better than I had been able to
for years. Since then, I have enjoyed
the best of health.''
Price tWc, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's
Kidney Pills- the same that Mrs. Davi
had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buf
