Hon. E. L. Smith and D. f. Miller
attended the meeting of the fruit
growers at Salem last Satur-
day. There was good attendance OF
representative fruit growers. Mr.Smith,
in his address before the meeting stated
that Hood River after years Of organiza-
ton had succeeded in building up
strong union and reputation for its fruit,
but it could not be expected to ship
fruit with Salem or any other point un
der the same brand The two places
could only act in concert in shipments.
A union was organized at Salem to mar
ket all kinds of fruit
Some coward, Monday night, tried to
wreck A. Winans' woodshed, which is
being built by contractors Cook & Cox.
He tried to knock out the underpinning,
which, if he had succeeded, would have
the building down the bluff
into Hood river. Not succeeding in this
he picked up crowbar and smashed all
the windows in the house; then all the
tools he couldn't carry away he threw
down the bluff. To serve time in the
pinitentiary would be too good for a
man that would do such work as this.
The damage done will amount to eight
or ten dollars, which will have to be
borne by the contractors.
