ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.
In the Meeting Saturday Afternoon
They Adopt Trade Mark
Brand.

The Horticultural Union met Satur-
day afternoon as usual and transacted
business of interest to their organiza-
ton. One of the principal matters dis
posed of was that of adopting trade
mark brand. At a previous meeting a
committee was appointed to look into
the feasibility of such step and after
investigation the committee decided
upon the picture of an Indian arrayed
in his native regal accoutrement as a
fitting emblem of the Yakima valley
Horticultural Unions organization.
The picture will be sent away and a
stamp made from the same with which
all boxes of fruit will be branded.
The secretary or purchasing agent was
ordered to make arrangements with
Coffin Bros. to have the spraying
material for the union come from Port
land with theirs in order to keep down
expenses as much as possible.
The secretary was also instructed to
correspond with the Hood River, Walla
Walla and Wenatchee Unions with the
object in view of doing away with COM
petition and establishing uniform
price for all fruit, and in this way avoid
any clash with each other The ques-
brought up, but dropped Immediately,
as its discussion was considered prema-
ture.
The union expects to buy its own
boxes for the ensuing years shipment.
Below is copy of the Unions articles
of incorporation:
