If Oregon had a frruin board, it is argued liy fruit urowers, it would scarcely tie expected that Hood River would have a representative on it, hut, it is declared, this county, with its landed interests almost exclusively orcharding and berry growing, deserves representation on the State Hoard of Horticulture. Following press notices of Mr. Sammis' appoint merit, an investi gation was henun here to ascertain if the new board member had received any local endorsement. It Lai been learned that no one here bad been ap prised of Ir. Macrum's contemplated resignation. His succosor is not known in Hood River. Urchardists of Wasco county are as ill-pleased with the appointment of Mr. Sammis as are those of Hood River. A Wasco county fruit man here Sunday declared that change in the personnel of the borticultual board resulted from agitation begun by A. ('. Churchill, owner of orchard lands at IHifur. Fol lowing the death of governor VYithy coinhe, it. is said, Acting governor Di et. tt sent a confidential agent to Wasco county orchard districts to investigate charges made against l'r. Macruin, who, it. is declared, declined to give his commendation to plans of orchard land promoters. lr. Maerum, too, it is saiii. was always a staunch Withy combo man, Wasco county horticultural interests, w ho claim to have authentic facts of recent wire pulling, declare that lr. Maerum was practically forced to re sign. Rubber Stamps at (llarier ollice.

"Hood River county," says Mr. Hi ll, "is going to give the measure the near est loo per cent vote of any bill ever before them.

SUMMARY OF 1918-19 APPLE M ARKET GIVEN The following are excerpts from a market su.T.mary of the l'.Hs-'.y at pie crop prepared by O. W. SchK-ussner, iiecial.st i:i the mariveuiitc oi me Spo kane oifice of ti e I'.ureau of M. rkts: From the standpoint of the grower, kipper, buyer and receiver, the h.iej apple season just c!oi g in the I acme Northwest was ui.tiuestionanly the most successful and satisfactory oi.e ever experienced, t arnouiai ly is mis true in the state .f Washington, wher i shipments exieeded fell previous rei -ords, in spite of expectations of a sonu what smaller cri p than had been har vested tl.e previous season. re sult was particularly gratifying invie of the fa t teat the total suppl; of H pies in the I nited States far exceedt I the previous ear, the drop in the east, and particularly in New York stat . being a large one. Generally sfieaking, the yield thi , past season was fairly satisfactory although there was an urnpi. stione 1 shortage in tiie earlier vartietics.whie i was counter balanced by a very abund ant crop of late varieties, such a Winesaps and Newtown. N't onl was the yield of early varieties light but the general quality was rather or dinary, ami thi injuiy from w,.rnis ex cessive, tin the oilier hand, the heavy crop of Winesaps was of exceptionally good quality, and was not Serious Iv affected by worms. The crop in Idaho was almost a fail ure. The Montana production was about normal, a bliglitlv larger number of cars being shipped than in the previous season. n-L . n- i : . ,.J lilt' iv HSllingluil crop rAeett.eu pectations, the total number of cars 1 shipped to April In being slightly larger than the entire shipments for ; the previous year. The Hood River crop was good, but the ield in the rest of the state of Oregon was very light. Oregon ship- j merits fell short of the previous sea son. I California was the only boxed apple state having a crop largely in excess of the previous season. The northwestern apple crop, and, in fact, the apple crop of the whole country, moved out very rapidly this year. The consumption was undoubt-, edly stimulated early by the in fall by i a very corii-pieuous shortage of peaches and Valencia oranges. The peach crop ' in the northern states was almost a to- -tal failure, and the orange movement from California after September 1 was , almost negligible on account of the j loss due to the hot weather in June, lit 17. Unquestionably the shortage of these other important seasonable fruits stimulated apple consumption. The total movement from the rioiih- west was over li.nuit cars short of th A native of T. ronfo, Canada.

Mr. Vctiuire, however, l.ved to see the street liecome the city extension of the Columbia Highway. In l.'lO .it was her sir.cenjple.tsur't J'ojwatch a battery of the hrst autniobiles to pass over the Highway from Cortland. On that oc casion, according to an interview in ; the Glacier. Mrs. McGuire said : ' hile 1 have lived to see so much, having witnessed the transformation of methods of transportation, having watched the installation of every thing that brings modern conveniences to my home, 1 believe I have lived fsi years too soon. My first Journey down the Columbia just r4 years ago, required more time than a transcontinental trip dots today. Often I recall the site of Hc-od River. In ls."2 it w as an un- broken expanse of oak trees covering the sloping canyonside. It was then called l'eg River. Little did 1 then dream that sjme day 1 would sit here j and watch the trains of two transcon- : tinental lines go by and the magniti- i ct nt steamliohts that have supplanted the idd flatboats. As for the Columbia 1 Highway, it must have been a vision of every pioneer who traveled from The Dalles down the Columbia." OBITUARY Ada Rrm Kirkpatrick Ada Byron Kirkpatrick was born in Frankport, Indiana. She was the eld est child of Cornelius J. and Marv E. Miller, who moved to Lafayette coun ty, Missouri, when the little girl was i three years old. Here, w hen she grew to y ung womanhood, she was married to G. L. Kirkpatrick, of Odessa, Mo., i and to them were born one daughter and twu.soiis. i Mr. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick and their daughter moved to Hood River in UW and Mrs. Kirkpatrick died here Wed nesday, May 7, at her home on State street after a very brief illness. One son had passed on two years ago, but the other two children, her , bu.-iiand and two daughters-in-law, her four grandchililien, her mother, three i brothers and four sisters and many ' friends are left sorrowing in their loss , of one of the finest characters it may be one's privilege to know on this , earth. ; Though keenly alive to all the ! greater things, she saw the good and . the beauty of life in the little things i of every day.

On the l othei hand, the movement from alH other boxed apple states was some ; what heavier this year than the.previ- i oils cue, and consequently the total I boxed apple'm.ivement was only about LfiOO cars short of the previous season, j The yield in New York state was tre-1 mentions, the shipments from this one : state equaling those from all other barreled apple Mates put together, and j being almost equal to shipments from all boxvd apple states. The movement of all apples to April 1 was over 'Jn per cent greater than the pievious sea son, which makes the very'tine results achieved in marketing all the more re markable. Twenty Jeiht per cent'of the entire apple movement of the country daring the past season origin ated in the four northwestern stales. Other boxed apple Mates contribute i another ten per cent toward the total movement, making a total if I IS per cent of the entire crop marketed in hoxt s.- New Vol k state alone i old rib utt-1 over .'iH per cent towards the en tire apple shipments of the United States, or almost exactly one-third. Other barreled apple states made up the balance of the movement. It is probable that never in the his tory of tne northwestern apple indus try has such wide spread (lislibu'ion been secured. Over 1,000 ibtl'e'etit towns and cities in this count; y and Canada received northwestern apple? in carloads by direct shipment f'om the Northwest. This does not include a large number of towns whii h were doubtless also reached through diver sions which were made later. ENTIRE LEGISLATURE ATTENDED WEDDING The death of the late Mrs. Miria Mi Guiie, local pioneer, has recalled to her friends the unique honor paid her a.i.l her husband, John McGuire, on their wedding day. The wedding was solemnized in ISol! on Boone Island, near Salem, by Rev. Roone. a pioneer Mcthodi.-t minister . The Oregon territoi in I legislature was in session, and at the suggestion of !e.'. Roone, the body adjourned for the wedding, all of the members wit i.essing the pioneer ceremony. So she, in whom was great capacity for love, deemed it a privilege when she might help hear another's griefs or burdens; and a great joy ,to herself to know of some one's else pleasure. j So closes a life rich in loving, heart felt service.
