Hood River MUSIC BY The Liberty Orchestra j With the peak of the apple harvest over it is indicated that the actual ton ! nage of the rear's crop will be more : than 0 per cent in excess of estimates made a month ago: As picking ad vanced the .majority of the district's I growers found a need for more boxes than they had originally ordered. 1 When the final count is taken of the Hood River crop for 1919 it will be found that the total tonnage will run close to 2,500.000 boxes. Unless the market breaks seriously, and this is an unlikely contingency. Hood River will have an apple crop worth j&.uw.uw, more than twice as great in value as that of any former year. the Apple ij rowers Association is kaiing in tonnage. It is now esti mated that the shipping agency will bundle 1.500.000 boxes. Only about a third of the fruit has been delivered to date.

Shipments of other independents and of growers will bring the total well toward the million and a half mark The greatest fear of the valley at present is a heavy freeze within the next tern weeks. While sumcient cars are being received to enable shippers to prevent a congestion of the earlier varieties of fruit, no delveriea o!

FIRST NATIONAL SHOWS NEW ALARM The First National Bank staff and officers were hosts Saturday night at an unique reception. The doors of the institution's biir vault were kept open from 7 to 9 o'clock and patrons and the general public were invited to visit the building and inspect a Durgiar alarm system just installed. The ap naratus operated bv batteries oi elec tric dry cells from a con tot 1 cabinet that is placed within the vault itself, provides a lining of double steel sheets around the entire vault. A buriar pen etratintr the two steel walls and pane lurine me mm wbuibiiuii wvecii them, instantly starts huge gongs both inside and outside the building. E. O. lilanehar states thatithe burg lar alarm system has been installed primarily to guard against loss of the Urtre number of Liberty bonds and other securities held for patrons.

Monday grow ers feared damage to fruit picked sml stacked in boxes in orchard tracts. Lut a blanket of snow protected top boxes, and the frost, of short duration, did rot have time to penetrate lower tiers of boxes. A snowfall, ranging from an inch to nine inches, fell over the mid Columbia fruit areas Saturday niirht. Following the freeze of Sunday iiitht the sun shone brilliantly Monday and the quick thaw of fruit on the south side of unpicked trees w ill cause dam age. A steady rain followed Monday nitfht with Tuesday cloudy througnout the day. fauch weather conditions were considered by growers as a Cod-send, and the total loss to mid-Columbia fruit districts, at first considered much higher, will probanly not exceed four or tive per cent. Might damage resulted to potatoes in shallow hills, bnow in the Upper Valley protected the big potato crop there. The frost will have one good result. it is said. Unwilling to take another such loss growers will attend this win ter and next summer constructing ad ditions individual packing plants and warehouses, lhis is the hrst severe damage ever sustained in the mid-Co- umbia district, either from frozen ap ples at harvest time, or from frost at the blotisom season. Shippers say the heavy loss might have been largely prevented if growers had hastened their picking season. Growers blame labor conditions. Some ot thiwe with fruit remaining on trees, unwilling to pay higher rates to pickers, were en deavoring to harvest the fruit them selves. Lack of boxes, too, had an effect on'delaying the harvest. Scores of glowers have been ready- to pick their apples but were forced to post pone the work because they could not secure their supply of containers. Upper Valley growers were the heaviest loosers. Henry Steirhiiuser, here Monday from I'arkdale, reported that Geo. Munroe. whose harvest had been delayed until he could complete a new packing house had not hepun nicking a liO acre tract. The Upper Valley loss in instances will be made permanent by broken trees. The weight of the wet snow sticking to the folia ire, added to the heavy crops of fruit, split trees very badly.

The Apple Growers Association sent a delegation to register a protest. At the beginning or the war trie ap ple shippers themselves volunteered, in order for conservation of rail ener gy, to increase the minimum load from 30,000 pounds, or t30 boxes, to 7ffi boxes.

After the first bombardment early Monday morning hunters have been having poor luck bagging China pheas ants. Orchardiits and business men out at daybreak Monday in instances killed the limit of five birds. But the shooting frightened the big birds and they took at once to the bruahland s ir rounding the valley. The ranee copies remain covered with snow, and the hunters have difficulty in locating the pheasants. Work on Postoflice Soon Work on Hood River's new poFtoffice, a concrete structure to be erected on the corner of Cascade avenue and Fourth street, will be started soon by C. A. Cass, recently awarded the con tract by the postofflce department. The work has been delayed because of a protest filed by merchants, who op posed the new site because of its re moteness from the business center.
