Our first duty, of course, is to those who have entrusted' to us the care and safe keeping of that which often constitute* a substantial portion of their worldly goods. Our second duty is to those citizens of thia com- munity and state who have invested nearly two hundred thousand dollars in the Capital, Surplus and Undivided Profits of the bank. Then there is another duty and that is to those faithful servants of the public, our employees; it is no uncommon thing to find bank clerks who have served a single institution for twenty years and this ia made possible only by giving suitable recognition to seniority and faithfulness.

FRANZ BUILDING Phone 3531 Joseph Dobson expects to be a vis itor frequently at the Indian creek, park, belonging to the city. He has planted some mld-weeterii wild plum seed, butternuts end black walnuts there. He hopes they thrive. Mr. and Mr«. H. L. Plumb, of Olym pia. Wash, aii<! Mr. Plumb’s «inter. Mra. W. H Smith, of New York, wer« week end guests at the home of Mr. and Mra. J. K. Canon. Mra. Plumb remained for a few day« thia week. An address by R. J. Mclsaac, presi dent of the Apple Growers Association, who is just back from a three-ruonth tour of British Isle and European mar keting centers, formed the chief fea- I ture of the annual meeting of the co- "Iterative here Saturday. Mr. Mclsaae gave a comprehensive recital of what he found in world apple markets and suggested needed reforms in the phys ical handling of fruit. "To me,” said Mr. Mclsaac.” the greatest thrill I had on the trip was that of getting back home. I was made to think of 20 years ago when 1 came to the little village of Hood River and «topped at a little frame building and asked Truman Butler, banker, to cash h check fffr me, a stranger, and he did it. “But to get to my subject. My trip was mostly to study marketing. How ever, before I had got across our own continent It became apparent to me that the spray residue situation would tie one of the big things that we grow ers have to contend with. That, the physical handling of our fruit and lietter conditions of grading are the chief problems for ns." Mr. Mclsaac said he had no criticism for any grower or any agency, but that lie found that apple« had not reached the export markets the past «eason in a condition that would result in appre- cistlon by the consumers or in profits for the growers. He cited that In every country, homegrown apples are in competition: Unless the export ap ples from this country are far superior in quality, they had best not be shipped he said. Mr. Mclsaac cited how the Pacific northwest boxed Industry had originated In Hood River Valley. How local growers had taken a lead in establishing grades and in putting out a standard pack. * “The other districts have followed ns. Our methods have spread Inter nationally. Unless we put up a better product,” continued Mr. Mclsaac, “we are going to be outstripped." However, the cooperative president said lie saw no other district that showed any better results this year than Hood River. The Hood River Newtown, he declared, however, is at a disadvantage aa compared with red varieties, aa all defects on the light skinned fruit are more ..__ _ kt. Mr. Mclsaac told of methods of har vesting and marketing fruit In Euro pean countries. In central Knropean countries they are floated on huge barges to tbe central markets, the ex pense of getting them to consumers being slight. He said htet cold storage methods are growing better in Europe. In Cologne, Mr. Mclsaac said, he found bulk «iqiles In blns from Austria, bags from Belgium, barrels from tin* Swiss TyOls, willow baskets from Germany, barrel« from Virginia and boxes from Hood River. He «aid " the bulk apple« from Austria were shriveled but they seemed to lie keeping well and bad a good flavor. “We must get our product to market in better condition,” declared Mr. Mc lsaac. “It Is not so much a matter of the .different grades, but all grades must be in good, sound condition. Tbe European markets demand a hard, sound fruit. We sold 100,000 boxes of Hood River apples In Germany the past season. Our Newtown«, however, were not what they should have been. They seemed dirty, dull and lifelees. An thracnose, I presume, had been spread by wiping machines. Some boxes were too full, others were too slack. Boxes were dirty." Mr. Mclsaac told of bow the Spanish government had handled the orange situation the past season. The crop bad lieen enormous. Oranges were sell ing cheep. A frost hit the groves. Tlie Spanish government stopped pick ing for two weeks. Cargoes that were already en route sold at higher prices. In two weeks the frosted stocks could tie segregated. In the end that frost enabled tbe Spanish growers to derive more profit from their crop than If it had not struck them. “If the Spanish government, which we have come to consider as decadent,” said Mr. Mclsaac, "can control a situa- (Contlnued on back paga) supply by drawing on the Trout Lake district of Klickitat county, Washing ton. Through Its endeavors a twtee-a- week stage line is operated between here and tbe Washington trade area The creamery is now shipping some of Its product to outside markets. Be cause of the quality maintained it al ways secures a top price. Its ice cream goee to eastern Oregon, central Oregon and all mld-Columbla pointe. The Hood River Creamery has takes the lead in the Pacific northwest in the development of the ice cream cake and in originating the ice cream pie. Aa application has been made for n patent on tbe ice cream pie, which bids fair to become Increasingly popular and bring royalties to the local plant. Oregold ice cream pies excel those put out by any other plant. E. P. Black, plant superintendent of the creamery. Is constantly engaged la research and experiment in efforts to put out new flavors and better ice cream. He is an artist, and his cream flowers have formed appealing decora tions on tbe dinner tables of many Ore« gon homes. With tbe enthusiasm of E. I*. Black ever growing and thq efficient egorts of his brother, W. M. Black, the creamery's manager, con st tint ly being maintained, the Hood River Creamery ia due to advance. NAUMES IN CHARGE OF SNOBOY OFFICE J. A. Meade, manager of Sneboy Fruit Distributors, whose headquarters office is in Seattle, while hare Saturday announced that J. P. Nani will be In charge of a new mid-Columbla office Just established here. Mr. Meade, who has lieen on a tour of Wenatchee, Yak ima and Walla Walla fruit districts, where his company has branches, says be finds growers feeling optimistic over 1927 crop prospects. "Never have moisture conditions in tbe big Washington sections been bet ter,” said Mr. Meade, “and growers predict that the coming crop will else well and be of fine quality. The weather conditions and the better sup ply of moisture will Insure for better and more vigorous trees.” Mr. Naumes, who baa been growing applea in the Odell section for the past 14 years, is also experienced in the «hipping end, having been associated with various shipping concerns for mor« than 10 years. He will begin at once to make arrangements for skip ping facilities and start lining up the Snoboy business for the coming season. •The Snoboy name has been very favorably received by the trade, and our organisation has made very grati fying advancement In tbe Washington districts, Yakima. Wenatchee and Walla Walla.” said Mr. Meade. **We hope to lie of «ervitv to growera of tbe mld-Columbia, and expect to handle i. tonnage from this valley and Undi - wood and White Salmon.” FRUIT GRADE AND PACK MEET SOON The annual Oregon State Fruit Grade and Pack conference will Ike held at 10 a, m.

OREGOLD SERVICE MILLER COMPLETING PLEASES DEALERS COUNTRY CLUB ROAD It is not only the ultimate consumer, men, women, old folks and last, but not least, the kiddies, who ar* pleased wtth the Oregold ice cream products of the Hood River Creamery. Everybody, It seems, likes to eat Oregold ice cream. And Monday when a joint meeting was held at the creamery plant of the directors and management of the con cern and the ice cream dealers, the latter declared that they were entirely satisfied with tbe service rendered them and with the quality of tbe prod uct. Oregold ice cream Is easy to sell, tbe dealers say. All- in all tbe meeting of Monday was s most gratifying one. The cream ery management was glad to find a willingness on the part of the dealers to continue to aid tn the maintenance of one of Hood River's most successful and beneficial Institutions. Tbe Hood River Creamery has been tbe bane rock on which has been builded here a profitable diversification. Hood River cream checks and payroll checks are constant throughout the year. The In stitution last year disbursed more than >150,000. It Is an industry that de serves general patronage. The cream ery, producing a butter and ice cream that cannot be excelled and fumMhlng a service that cannot he bettered,—or if possibilities of bettermeat are shown, will be bettered—has done its part. Its growth has been made possible by the constant, cooperative support of the community's dealers. The Hood River Creamery’s influ ence baa extended beyond tbe bound« of the valley. It augments its cream One of tbe outstanding bits of road work being completed here now is on the Country Club road, which inter sects the Columbia river highway near Ruthton hill and passes to tbe Oak Grove links of the Hood River country club at tbe west edge of the vslley. Gus Miller, veteran construction man, whose home, Wildbrook, is at the top of the Columbia gorge at Ruthton hill, is in charge of the construction. Mr. Miller, who several years ago con ducted Improvement on the road at a gratifyingly low cost, is completing a fill of 200 feet and a cut of another 200 ftet. The road's grade in places has been reduced from 18 to 9 per cent. The new grades are wide enough to meet state requirements and are per manent. The Improvement will turn the Country Club road, which serjra a large number of ranchers of the West Side, Into one of tbe most appealing drives in the county’s lateral road sys tem. Mr. Miller is taking a great pride ia the road Improvement, and through bis efforts the grades and fills have been made at a minimum cost. O. 8. Bar tholomew and H. C. Case have been his chief helpers. ‘Glenn Ordway has been busy on the Improvement with his team. Torn Clark, whose sweet baritone voice bn« appealed to local audiensee, broadcast a recital over'KEX, Portland Telegram radia station, last week.
