Ymi can always get an Address ftamp freo by calling at Glacier Office SHIPPERS WANT MORE CARS RAIL AUTHORITIES ARE PETITIONED Wine Grapes Shipped io Fresh State Take Refrigerators -Apple Men Pro test Such Action Orchardists whose fruit must be hauled to market over lines of the Union Pacific system are now strongly protesting against curtailment of their needs in refrigerator cars bv use of the freezers in hardling the California wine graiies. It u argued that the wine grae industry, that is, shipment of the fruit in the fresh state, is tem porary and should not be encouraged to the detriment of the apple industry, which has grown stable. While no car shortage has developed to date, here, districts receiving their freezers from other rail lines are get ting a heavier supply, and the demands of the wine shippers bid fair, later in the season, to make heavy inroads on the apple growers' needs. To date Hood River has received all of the ears needed. Shippers, howev er, have experienced trouble in getting switching service. One day 21 cars were in the yard but no crew of train menjstopped to spot them. Shippers declare that the trainmen are deter mined that a switching crew be placed here, and it is claimed that they are purposely aggravating the situation in order that enough pressure will be brought to bear by shippers to secure such a service. In the meantime, it is declared, the shippers remain the goat. While shipers expect a serious car shortage later in the season, it is not anticipated that it will be severe enough to cause a loss of any of the valley's product. The Hood River district perhaps is belter equipped for the storage of apples than any other Northwestern district. The Apple Growers Association alone can place nearly 500,000 boxes under refriger ated cold storage. Hundreds of grow ers can handle their crops in warehous es protected against cold. While a few growers are still incon venienced for lack of boxes, the situa tion has been eased up the oast week by receipt of approximately 50 carloads of containers. Motor trucks, hauling boxed fruit to shipping stations, have returned to orchard packing nouses loaded with shooks. While some growers are finding it difficult to keep crews of pickers, due, it is said, to the tendency of the har vesters to try and choose orchards, where the fruit is largest and most evenly distributed, enabling them to make higher wages than in the tracts where apples are small, the labor situ aion is well in hand. The first demand for pickers has left a shortage of this class of labor, but the universal custom of growers in the use of mechanical sizing machines is lessening the worry of growers. Where the fruit is sizeci mechanically, with all defective apples sorted out, packers can soon be trained, it is said, from the ordinary crew, and this practice is being inaugurated a community packing houses among the larger growers. better roads." says Sheriff Johnson. j who. accompanied by his wife and Mr. i and JMrs. J. K. Carson, Jis just back from a visit at his old Kentucky home after journeying to the National Grand Army encampment at Columbus. O. "We stopped for a time at Walton, I ry., and there we found the streets blocked by crews of men engaged in : laying paving on the Dixie Highway. "All of the country seems to be making progress. We stopied at Chat tanooga, Tenn.. ar.d 1 was especially impressed with the great development that has taken place in the past 20 years. One the way west from New Orleans we came by way of Phoenix, Aril. That is the most prosiierous part of the country that 1 saw. Ranch ers there are making fortunes from long fibre cotton. The cotton fields of the south cannot compare with those of Arizona. They can trrow most any kind of tropical fruit. 1 was surprised at the date orchards." Sheriff Johnson brought home some fresh dates and he has been treating friends to samples of the luscious fruit. TRIP ENJOYED BY MR. AND MRS. BLYTHE CHILEAN ORCARDISTS PRAISE HOOD RIVER After a month's stay in the Hood River orchards, where they engaged in all of the tasks of harvest time from picking to packing, Horacio Parada and George Silva, young Chilean orchard ists, here to learn American methods of horticulture, left Tuesday. Mr. Parada, who has been attending the University of California for the past two years, left for New York city, whence he will sail for home. Mr. Silva. however, goes to enter the Washington Agricultural College at Pullman, where he expects to remain for two years, specializing in horticul ture. The young men left with much pra'SJ for the courtesy and hospitality of Hood River orchardists. "1 will never forget my few weeks' stay in Hood River," says Mr. Parada. "I only hope that some of you Ameri cans can come down and see our orch ards some day. We'll try and make them worth looking at." THOMSON SUGGESTS BETTER ROAD SIGNS After a tour to Long Beach, Calif., and home again Geo. Thomson says that Oregon can learn much from the sister state to the south in marking her highways. "Oregon authorities," says Mr. Thomson, "are especially careless in marking detours and the motorist, as a result, is put to much inconvenience. In California it is not so difficult to find one's way about." Mr. Thomson, accompanied by his wife and son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Franz, spent five weeks on the motor vacation. The long trip of 3,000 miles was made in Mr. Thom son's big Marmon. The onlv trouble experienced resulted from a few punc tures, and on the way north not even a p incture marred the pleasure of the jo irney. En route south Mr. Thomson drove by way of Bend, Lake View and Alturas. Calif. Thence the party went to Westwood, Chico and Sacramento. "We hit about all kinds of road," says Mr. Thomson, "some seemed unreal, they were so good, and others were certainly bad dreams. And everywhere we found highway construction work under way. Detours are the bane of the motorist's existence theee days. but he can stand them, thinking of the better roads to come. "We had been told that the Cow j Creek canyon in southern Oregon was impassable, but we made it. The worst 'stretch we found was between Rose , burg and Cottage Grove." I The party while away visited Yose ; mite national park. SOUTH IS FOUND "I never saw as much of the east, and 1 have lieen there several times before, on all of my former trips put together as on this visit, " says S. F. Blythe. who is just back from a jour ney made as far east as New York city, following the annual Grand Army encampment held at Columbus. Mr. Blythe was accompanied by Mrs. Blythe. "We were taken by our relatives in automobiles up the Hudson and through the Catskills. Automobiles enahle one to see as much now in a day as 25 years ago he could see in a month, " contin ued Mr. Bltyhe. "And after an atmosphere of the wilder grandeur of the mid Columbia, Mrs. Blythe and I were as much pleased with the scenery of the Hudson and the beautiful drives around Washington, I). C, as the easterners are with our Co lumbia Highway when they come here." While in Indiana Mr. Blythe joined in a reunion witli his brother, Junius L. Blythe, whom he had not seen for 51 years. While in Washington they were entertained by Representative N. J. Sinnott. The couple visited Mrs. Blythe's brother at Hackensack. N. J. NORTH BANK ROAD REPORTED BETTER The North Bank Highway from Ste venson to White Salmon is now in fine condition. The Carson Home Valley detour, made necessary by sliding in of part of the new road on Sand moun tain, was eliminated three weeks ago and cars now go over the main road around the mountain. There is a short stretch, only a few hundred yards long, however, at the head of the Little White Salmon can yon, where crushed rock has been laid. This is being followed up close with gravel teams, however, and will soon be in excellent touring condition. Aside from this one section the entire highway is in fine condition, and all crushed rock has been overspread with gravel. Steam rollers are following up the gravel. NOW WHERE WILL THE POSTOFFICE BE Some of the Hood River business men, engaged in that great municipal sport, locating the uostoffice, failed to play the game, according to a report just received from First Assistant Postmaster General Koons. of Wash ington, D. C. Several months ago an announcement that C. A. Cass' offer to construct a new postoffice home on Cascade avenue drew a protest, report ed at the time to have been signed unanimously by the town's merchants who were opposed to the site because of the distance from the business sec tion. The statement of the assistant postmaster ifeneral, however, says that all but four or five of the signers have retxtrted that they have no personal feeling as to the office location but that they signed the remonstrance at the solicitation of others more acutely interested. Mr. Koons states that the Cass proposition alone remains to the government, as offers of no further lo cations have been received. MAN FLIES AFAR TO RIDE CAMEL A new record was set Saturday at the Marshfield meeting of Northwest ern Shriners, according to E. O. Blanchar and W. H. Taft, who joined the party journeying to the Coos coun try aboard their special train. Lieut. Wright, of Eugene, member of the forest air patrol, flew from the uni versity city to Marshfield. took his de grees and then flew back again. "It was the first time," says Mr. Blanchar, "I have ever heard of a nov ice aeroplaning to get a drink of zem zem." Mr. Blanchar says the trip was a very enjoyable one. He and Mr. Taft saw W. W. Nason, J. M. Wright and Chas. Hall, all of whom asked to be remembered to their old Hood River friends and neighbors. NEWELL GETS READY TO HULL CLOVER Several large crops of clover seed will be threshed in the vallev this sea son. Timothy Newell and I. T. Beal have large acreages in clover. Mr. Newell has just ordered a clover huller. With clover seed selling at 49 cents per pound and the local seed of high quality, the growers expect to reap rich returns. The sjjnny south, like the rest of the country, is awakening to the need of Mrs. Olson Makes Petition Mary V. Olson has petitioned the board of commissioners of Skamania county, Washington, for a franchise for operating a ferry between Under wood and Hood River. The matter w ill be heard November 4. LEGION OFFICERS ! AREELECTED j SHOEMAKER IIEDS ORGANIZATION j With American Legion in Charge. Plans Instituted for General Observance of the First Armistice Hood River Post of the American Legion was formally launched at the county court house Munduv nieht with 55 members. Officers were elected as follows : Kent Shoemaker, pres; Fred H. Bell, vice pres.; Joe M. Johnsen. treas. ; George Bragg., see. ; H. D. W. Pine), chaplain; Furdham B. Kimball, histor ian; Edw. W. Van Horn. Geo. R. Wil bur, ex. com. The ex-service men present would have been much greater but for the busy season of apple harvest. As many men us were present telephoned to the temporary officers and asked to be excused from the Monday night ses sion because of heavy work in the orchards. Or. V. R. Abraham has been elected one of the 20 delegates from Oregon to attend the approaching Armistice Day convention of the organization at Min neapolis, .Minn. The organization instituted plans for a general observance of Armistice Day November Jl. Dr. H. I). W. Pineo was appointed chairman of a commit tee to arrange for a program, and in the evening a ball will be held. The legion will ask the general public to join in properly observing the first an niversary of the great war. A committee of the Anti-Asiatie league, formed to prevent land owner ship of Orientals, who were in session simultaneously, visited the Legion meet ing and requested that the new organ ization adopt a general resolution against Asiatic land ownership and domination of the Pacific coast. While the sentiment of the legion members was practically unanimously for the resolution, it was decided to postpone adoption for 30 days in order that the movement might teceive a full discus sion. The local Legion Post will classify as charter menders all ex-service men tendering their affiliation before Arm istice Day. CALIFORNIANS APPEAL TO THEIR SENATORS Telegrams urging them to use their efforts in congress to regulate the rights of Japanese and other Asiatics to lease land in California were sent to Hiram W. Johnson and James I). Phe Ina, United States senators, Monday by the Fourteen Counties Association, rep resenting land holders in northern and central California counties, with tie exception of San Francisco and Ala meda. The, telegrams, which were identical, read as follows: "The Japanese situation in Califor nia is becoming desperate. The Asiat ics are making a fresh drive on the best lands in California. They are spreading their attacks to regions nev er before threatened by them. We ap peal in the name of our children that you will help us save California for Americans. "The Fourteen Counties Association, representing the farming valleys of the Sacramento and San Joaquin riv ers, begs that you will intercede with congress for us in our fight against this menace." HOW WIND MOUN TAIN WAS NAMED There was profiteering along the Co lumbia river lontr hpfore whitp in ever saw the Oregon territory, accord ing to an old legend. I hat was when Coyote, god of the Indian tribes that lived and warred in what long years after became Skamania county, Wash ington, played food administrator from his abode atop Wind mountain. Geortre Himes, director of the Ore gon Historical Society, The Auditori um, retold the old legend the other day in connection with an Indian carving unearthed along the Columbia. The carving is in solid stone and is a per fect likeness of a humpback salmon. Himes got the story from an aged In dian. All the tribes once fished for hump back salmon in thp Winrl river It wan declared neutral territory and the yearly supply was apportioned out among the tribes. Each chieftain swore as to the amount his tribe hxri fished from the provident river. I hen one tribe started to profiteer. It hid the salmon from the sacred riv er, secretly and basely increasing its own share. But Covote, god of the mountain, was not to be deceived. "Produce the hidden salmon," he commanded. But the chiefs were haughty, and refused. So the god summoned a great wind from the mountain for he was a just rod. although not a resnwtnr nf u-ronf cheiftains and ordered the wind to rush down the mountain side and along the channel of Wind river. And every hlimrihnrlf Kulmon Ulna rlrmn nut irttf. the Columbia. And there was no more fishing. Even today the wind from Wind mountain retards steamboats an they pass up and down the mountains. But only the old Indians know why. SHEEP ARE CAUSING ORCHARD DAMAGE Abandoned and carelessly herded droves of sheep are the source of much worry and damage to orchardists of the Summit district. Edmund Gehrig, here Monday to see authorities, claims that wandering sheep have destroyed three acres of young trees for him. " "Some days five or six sheep will visit my place and then again from 50 to 60 will enter my fields and feed," says Mr. Gehrig. "They can jump like deer, and they seem especially fond of the bark of young apple trees. I have seven sheep that I have been pasturing for somebody all summer. I am going to hold them for damages"
