The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1903-06-18

The Davidson Fruit company is en-
ploying small army OF people in the
cannery, hulling strawberries and assort-
ing them for canning. 1t is sight to
see the busy workers, ranging in age
from little girls Of nine years to gray
haired women. To borrow from what
General Grant said about the armies of
the Southern confederacy, the Davidson
Fruit company have "robbed the cradle
and the grave" to make up their quota
of helpers in the cannery. These peo-
pie, by answering the call of this COM
pany for help to care for the berry crop
in these busy times, have set an exam
pie of industry that might we'll be fol-
lowed by all. There is no excuse for any
one to be idle in Hood River during the
berry harvest. Several young men who
came here in the rush Of berry pickers,
and who found work in the fields too
siren lous, called at the cannery and
asked about the work and how much
could be made at the work. The man
ager soon sized them up and told them
they were not wanted. The young men
resumed their occupation OF loa6ng
about the streets.

nights while the plants were in bloom.

ries and marketed about 1900 crates,
which will return him about $3.50
