j Hood River r.a i.ever ln such a
mtcca as during the jast ?ck fur
prominent factors in the Uxel af ( le
industry. Shiprs nj market men
; were here from all part of the cvun-
i try.
! &. A. Perham, formerly sales man-
acer of the North Pacific Fruit lis-
tnbutors and until recently treneral
j manager of the Earl Fruit Company of
J the Northwest, was here calling on
his former associate, C. . McCullagh,
! former sales manager of the Yakima
j Fruit Growers Association. P. F.
t lark. Mr. MeCullajjh s nuceessor at
Yakima, has been here looking over
the local ciop. Mr. Clark was accom
panied by is brother. Edwin Clark,
cashier of the Y'akima National ISank.
John M. Walker, of the Chicago firm
of Walker Bros., and Jake Schoenberg,
who recently formed a partnership
with Tom Peppers for the disrtibution
of apples in eastern markets, were
here on purchasing expeditions and to
see the scenery of the Northwest.
It was a coincidence that C.W. Hook
er, of Los Angeles, W. M. Dickerson,
of San Francisco, and bwiht L. Wood
ruff, of New York city, three district
managers of the Association in their
respective markets, and who also han
die the "Y" brand of Yakima, hap
pened to be making their annual visits
to headquarters simultaneously and to
get first hand information for the com
ing season.
Fallowing conferences of the visiting
apple men and Mr. McCullagh, the lat
ter is of the opinion that jobbeis and
principal shippers agree fairly well on
price conditions. It is still too early
to forecast the general market condi
tion because previous years' experience
has shown a decided (eduction at har
vest time over earlier estimates. The
quality of fruit is expected to be above
normal because of ideal growing condi
tions. Northwestern boxed apples, it is de
clared, are today considered a staple
commodity by dealers, and the trade is
coming more and more to consider
the apple's food value, compared with
other staples. The standardization
pack and the assurance of a steadiness
in supply, as a result of organization,
has made the boxed apple a moneymak
er for jobber and retailer alike, and
the consumer, it is said, is taking to
the product because of its low cost
compared w ith other foods.
Mr. McCullagh, after the week's re
sume of Northwestern apple conditions,
expresses the belief that estimates on
the Northwestern crop have been too
high. In his opinion the total yield of
all districts w ill not exceed 2.r,000 cars.
The respective tonnage of different
districts is placed as follws: Yakima,
!,5(K cars; Wenatchee, 8,fu(); Oregon,
;i,;W0: Idaho, l.htKJ; Spokane district,
5t)0; Walla Walla and Milton-Freewater
districts, f00.

From earliest records we have the
evidence that apples were regarded as
the most desirable of all fruits and, in
consequence, they frequently played
the part of tempter and bribe. Satan
himself could think of no more potent
appeal to Eve than the apple of Eden,
and with an apple Eve enticed Adam
to his fall. Since that day even the
greenest of apples, have proven irre
sistible to small boys, spite of the dis
astrous consequences which overtake
them as surely as they did Adam.
We tind the apple chosen as the fit
ting prize for beauty when Paris made
his famous award to Venus and, in
spite of her astounding loveliness, she
had to offer him a beautiful wife to
get it. What apple-lover does not
sympathize with Atalanta, the Arcadi
an princess wh. was so fleet of foot
that, wishing to remain unwed, she
consented to marry the man who
should outrun her. Her cousin, Milan
ion, despaired of distancing her in the
race.but she was fair and he was wily.
What would tempt her most powerful
ly? Ah, ha! he would scatter apples
upon the sands of the shore w here she
made her get away; and Atalanta
stooped to pick up the luscious fruit
and Milanion passed ahead of her.
Su we see three very famous ladies
Eve, Venus and Atalanta yielding to
the allure of the apple. In more mod
ern times a fourth distinguished wom
an was added to the number when Ar
thur Stevenson, American minister to
the court of St. James, presented
tueen Victoria with some tine Albe
marle Pippins. We should not dream
of insinuating that this w as a bribe,
i but certain it is that these Virginia
! apples so tickled the royal palate that
the queen had the import tax on apples
removed and since that time England
i has been the principal export market
! for American apples.
! Thus history shows the power of ap-
pies, the wise man today raises many
! and good apples are a power in the
land. American Fruit Grower,

Mrs. Howe Harvests First Apples
The first of Hood liter's largest
box app'e crop for the 1H19 season was
harvested last week by Mrs. Fred
Howe from city lot trees. The fruit,
of the transparent variety, was mar
, keted for six cents per pound. Early
( apples will be ready for shipping'with
, in a week.
Hood River citizens who Saturday
night erterta;rl William Jenir r.gs
Kryan. rationally known for his spon
sorship of prohibition, as a chief fea
ture of their greeting presented him
w ith a demijohn of sweet apple cider.
Recalling Mr. F.ryan's propensity for
grape juice, it was announced here
several weeks ago that an effort would
be made to convert him to the juice of
Hood Kiver s best apples. Consterna
tion, however, prevailed when it was
discovered that members of the re-ep-
tion committee had failed to reserve a
supply of the popular beverage. Not
a drop of cider was available at the
plant of the Hood River Apple Vinegar
Co., and no apples were at hand for
pressing.
iximeone, however, thought of the
cider mill of C. A. Hage. of Mosier,
and to the neighboring district must
go the honor ot furnishing Mr. Bryan
with the delicious beverage. En route
to Portland on an early train Saturday
morning M. Hage brought the cider to
Hood River in person. He was met by
a committee, who guarded the juice of
recent vintage jealously until the ar
rival of the guest of honor.
I he dinner to the Commoner, held at
the Hotel Oregon, was strictly non-po-
litical. It was attended by county and
city officials and many representative
Republicans as well as Democrats
Billy and Ma Sunday were expecteo
to be with Mr. Bryan around the
banquet board. Others present for the
dinner were Mrs. Chas. H. Castner,
Mrs. C. K. Marshall, Mrs. A. G. Lew
is, Judge Derby, Judge Blowers, May
or Scobee, Postmaster Reavis, H. G.
Ball O. B. Nve. J. H. Hazlett. Mr.

dy, M. M. Hill. F:. O. Blanchar. A. Wl

and Milton A. Miller, internal revenue
collector, of Portland.
Mr. Miller and a party of V asco cit
izens brought Mr. Bryan here bv auto
mobile. The latter delivered a Chau
tauqua lecture at The Dalles Saturday
afternoon.
RECORD AUTO SALES
MADE THIS SEASON
With sales of dealers already reach
ing 150 in number, the automobile busi
ness of HUU will far exceed that of any
former year in Hood River. Local con
cerns, as a result of the general pros
perity following high priees for all va
rieties of fruits, find theirs a task of
securing sufficient cars to meet the
demand. Standard popular makes of J
cars are far oversold. 1
Harry T. DeWitt, local Ford agent, j
w ho secured an allotment of 72 cars,
has applications, accompanied by cash
deposits, from 17 additional prospect
ive purchasers. Mr. DeWitt visited
Portland headquarters last week, en
deavoring to secure more cars for his
customers.

Counties Work Roads i
i
"I have recently visited Willamette j
valley counties and I am just back from j
a motor tour as far east as F'ots 1,'
said Commodore Dean, "and I have the :
fullest praise for highway work of all j
counties except those in Wasco coun- i
ty." '
Mr. Dean, who returned last Friday,
says that he found Morrow, Sherman
and W heeler county citizens very busy
bettering their roads, but he dedans
that residents of Wasco county seem
apathetic.
"And," continued Mr, Dean, who
was accompnied on his recent jaunt by
Mrs. Dean, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Foust and
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Ferguson, "the
roads of Wasco bear witness to apathy.
They're not altogether bad, but they
seemed to us the worst we struck."
Porter Expects Clean Crop !
J. C. Porter, director of the Apple!
Growers Association and a pioneer in '
the commercial orchard industry here, !
expresses the belief that the 19 lit apple i
crop will be the cleanest ever harvest- j
ed by Hood River growers. While Mr. !
Porter does not believe that the crop j
will reach the 2,000,000 box mark, ah
recently estimated in the government's
forecast, he says the size of the fruit ;
may develop to such an extent, as the j
growing season continues, as to bring
the tonnage above expectations.
On his own East Side orchards Mr. I
Porter is expecting a crop of 10,000 to
12,000 boxes. ;

LandBoard of the State of Oregon will

The durability that is reflected in the construction of
every unit of Chevrolet cars, is incorporated through care
ful work, careful choice and test of all materials, and by
the scientific engineering efforts behind all.
Not an inch of metal, not a touch of varni3h or color,
not a single fitting of one part to another, but has its vital
relation to the service of the sold and driven car. This
fact accounts for the exacting standards of inspection
and testing and the limitation of possible variations in
construction to thousandths of an inch which prevail in
every department of Chevrolet manufacture.
