Apple box sliooka will cost growers
28 cents per box this season. The price
of last year ranged from 15 to 23 cents,
a large number of growers having been
supplied from contracts at low figures.
Growers are paying 1A cents each for
the manufacture of their boxes.
Growers do not anticipate any short
age of apple boxes this season, a con
dition that retarded harvest last year.
Apple Buying Nominal
Reports reaching apple shippers from
prepresentatives who have been attend
ing the annual convention of the Inter
national Apple Shippers' Association,
indicate that preharvest buying will be
nominal this yeHr. Growers, it is re
ported, are holding their fruit at a
price thought to be excessive, and buy
ers, many of whom lost money as a
result of heavy preharvest speculation
last reason, are holding off.

RIVERS AND HARBORS
CONVENTION CALLED
The Oregon State Chamber of (Com
merce has called a Northwest rivers
and harbors convention to be held in
Portland nt the Multnomah hotel Octo
ber 4 and 5. Five delegates will be
accredited from each Portland and
commercial organization of the state.
One delegate will represent each in
dustrial commercial or transportation
interest.
The shipping problems of the Pacific
Northwest are becoming acute and de
mand the serious thought of manufac
turers, merchants, farmers and in fact
all who must avail themselve- of ship
ping faciltiies. The high freici.t rales
in the past have worked seriously
against the Northwest shipper, and
now with the new increase effective
the 25th of this month, the whole mat
ter is presenting a problem the serious
ness of which can only be contem
plated. The railroads are handicapped on ac
count of the lack of equipment, and
while striving to give service are yet
unable to handle the situation either in
the matter of transporting products
and raw materials to and from this
section or to provide a rate that seems
satisfactory to the Northwest shipping
public.
I f there was ever a time in the his
tory of the Northwest when 'lie liuni
ness'men should be alive to the need of
the development of maritime shipping
and to cooperate on the program of
such development, or to consider seri
ously these problems which mean so
much to the business interests of this
section, it is now. A relief for mer
chants and industries of the Northwest
can be secured through the develop
merit of steamship lines and harbor fa
cilities which will be able to handle the
shipping of this part of the country,
giving the advantage of both rail and
water transportation.
Just Little Stories
S. J. Frank, while delivering powder
at a highway construction point the
other day overheard two workers talk
ing. One could read but the other was
illiterate. They were dtscursing a pic
ture of William Howard Taft. who re
cently lectured here. The man who
could read made some remark about
what a great man Taft was, pointing
to the picture.
"Sure," said the other,"hes a great
man, but that don't look like him.
"Why, do you know Talt'.'" asked
the other.
"Sure 1 do." was the reply. "I see
him every time I buy my chicken
feed."
The only Taft he knew was the local
feed store man.

A high heeled shoe and a young
woman in haste resulted in a comical
incident here Saturday. The young
woman, in from a ranch stopped to
make an order at the Taft feed store.
Returning to her automobile the long
heel penetrated a crack in a platform.
Members of the office force failed to
see the accident and the young woman
tried vainly for several minutes to ex
tract her heel. She was apparently
pondering on the necessity of unlacing
her shoe in order to free her foot when
one of the truckmen of the concern es
pied her. Finally, as the young woman
laughed In near hysteria, the man pried
apart the heavy boards until the of
fending heel could be freed.
In these days of gasoline shortage
when a few gallons are precious, the
force of the Hood River Garage felt
exceedingly ' disgruntled when they
learned Sui day they had hung out the
sign, "no gas," on that day, al
though their tank contained more thm
100 gallons. It all happened as the re
sult of early risinir of Standard Oil
company crews. The gasoline was de
livered shortly after dawn before any
body from the garage had appeared.
The garage went through the day sup
posing its tank empty. However, it
did not take long to distribute the fuel
the next day.
Marshal Frazier says (hat the I'nia
tilla county desperadoes have appeared
here on six different occasions.
"1 didn't know we had so many ner
vous people," says Mr. Frazier. "1
have been called nearly every dav
since the Pendleton jailbreak by peo
n'e who have just seen strangers tit
ting the description (if Sheriff Taylor!;
murderers and accomplices. If I had
arrested all the people who have been
suspected, I would have the jail full of
prominent motoring parties."
A tree felled last week on a high
v Itage line of the Pacific Power Ai
Lisrht Co. in the Upper Valley bv
beavers almost caused the death of a
horse owned bv H. ). Mongtomerv. As
Mr. Montgomery drove along the coun
ty roail his bursa came in contact with
the wire and was felled instantly. The
horse, ultimately recovering, was un
conscious for ten minutes. The beav
ers, engaged in constructing a new
dam, have interrupted Hwer service in
the vicinity several timei recently.
While the Glear Creek district, to the
southeast of Lost Lake and BDOVS the
point where the West Fork of Hood
river descends from its gla-ial court--,
is ideal for camping, according to H.
O. Kresse, ju-t back from an outing
there, the lishirfc is r.ot good. The
streams, Mr. Kresse save, are full of
trout too small to take. He was ac
companied on the trip b his wife and
brother-in-law, J. M. Itadbetter, and
wife, of Portland.
Pear fanninj! Indefinite
The Hood liiver Canning Co., which
in former years has proceeded from
the strawlerry and cherry canning sea
son to pack Hartlett pears, may not
handle this fruit this year. No derision
will tie made until it is determined
that buvers will be in the market f.r
this fruit, which mutt be packed at a
high figure because of the cost of
sugar and lalor.
The cannery, which has had a nor
mal run on strawlcrrie-i and cherris.
will can heavy ojuantitic of apples his
fall. Apples are packed without sugar.
The berry crop, it is said, was of fine
quality.
