The Davidson Fruit Co. has grown to

DV THIS company 1De TWO large 0ulId-
ings are alive with busy people day and
night during the season for shipping
and canning berries. The cannery is
now at work putting up strawberries
About 500 crates of berries are canned
per day, and force Of about 100 women
and girls and boys are employed at
hulling and preparing the berries for
the big kettles in the cook room. Or
ders are received in advance for the
canned product. The company has a
new engine, and larger dynamo is now
being put in that will generate electro
light enough for every part of their ware
houses and workshops. A room has
been set apart for tin shop, which will
be in operation in another week, and
the company will manufacture their
own cans. The facilities for loading
cars on the track at,the company's ware
house are complete, An elevator, con-
structed after Mr.. Davidson's own idea,
is used to lower the crates of berries
from the upper stories. A car is loaded
in one hour.
Miss Bess Ieenberg returned on Tues
day from her trip to Kansas, where she
spent six weeks delightfully."- in visiting
old friends. On her way home, while
at Colorado Springs, she saw two crates
of strawberries placarded, " Hood River
Berries" Other berries were on the
long table, but no others were placarded.
She inquired of the merchont why
those two crates were singled out, and
none of the others marked. The mer-
chant said: "Here are berries from
California; here are Missouri berries,
and here are Kansas berries, but these
marked Hood River are the best.
They come from Oregon, where they
can grow the best berries, and where
they know how to put them up in good
shape for market" She then told the
merchant she was from Hood River, and
asked to see the berries. He opened a
crate and they proved to be very fine.
They were from H. J. Hibbard's fruit
ranch,
The regular council meeting Monday
evening was adjourned to Wednesday,
when the council met and passed ordi-
nance 25, amending ordinance 81. This
new ordinance reduces the saloon Ii
cense from 81 1000 a year to 5000, and
allows license to be granted upon the
petition OF 20 legal voters, without pub
iication. 1t is expected that three sa-
looms will take out licenses under this
new law, and Hood River will put on
city airs. With three saloons we will
have Give" town. Our town has
been rather live" for the past month
or SO, and if we keep on at the present
rate, it will be "live" enough for the
most jealous advocate of the theory thai
the saloon makes the town. Mayor
Brosius refused to sign the new ordi
nance.
