Ren0tted Sala 0f Rlr MilI

A report was current on the streets OF
Hood River during the fore part Of the
week that the Oregon Lumber company
has purchased the big saw mill and
timber lands Of the Lost Lake Lumber
company. A Glacier reporter sought.
out representatives Of both companies,
but neither side had any information TO
make public. As Charles Early Of the
Oregon Lumber company would neither
deny nor affirm the report, it is a safe
conjecture that the sale will really take
place. The sale price is reported to be
from $l25, 600 to $l32, 900. Further par
ticUlars will be forthcoming next week.

CrOp Estimated at $4,000 Crates.

This yea IS crop of strawberries is es-
timated to reach $4,000 crates, or more.
No definite estimate has as yet been se-
cured this spring, and these figures are
based on the estimates made last fall,
when the increased acreage was planted.
This estimate is considered rather low
by some, who think the total number of
crates will reach 10000 or more. The
1902 crop amounted to between 81 600
and $4,000 crates.
1t is too early in the season to secure
an estimate on prices. The crops in
California and the Eastern states will
govern the prices to great extent, and
it will depend on whether the California
and Eastern strawberries ripen at or
about the same time. The demand,
though, still keeps up for the Hood River
product, and ii the right quality of fruit
is put up, there will be little to worry
about regarding the price.
g. j. Gessling, secretary Of the Hood
River Fruit Growers Union, announces
that this year the union will ship moth
ing but first-class berries. A rigid in
spection will be enforced, and if any
berries fall below the average they will
be marked second or third class, as they
may be, and the grower OF the same will
receive returns for just the quality of
fruit he ships. The union expects to
develop new markets this season in
North Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska. 1t
has been found that markets in the
smaller cities, such as Fargo and Grand
Forks, are more satisfactory than the
larger cities.

Priees for Picking nnd Paekine.

Hood River strawberry growers this
year will pay cent and half box for
picking, and 81 day or half cent a
box for packing. This is the decision
reached at meeting of rs strawberry
men in A. o. U. W. hall, last Saturday.
The meeting was presided over by H.
F. Davidson, manager OF the Davidson
Fruit company. Mr.. Davidson stated
that his company and the Fruitgrowers'
Union we're daily receiving letters OF in
guiry from people who want to come to
Hood River to pick strawberries. In
order that these people may be given a
definite answer the strawberry men OF
the valley should decide ON a set price
which they will pay for picking and
packing. Mr.. Davidson said further
that great many people after making
inquiry about the price for picking, ETC., /,
do not come because they cannot be-
assured that the farmers will provide.
shelter for the pickers.
The motion that pickers be paid q
cent and half box provoked much
discussion. s. G. Zeigler of White Sal
mon said that when the best part Of
the berry season on his side OF the river
was over he found it necessary to pay 2
cents or more a box, in order to keep
the pickers from crossing to Hood River
where berries we're more plentiful.
Some Of the Hood River growers exper-
fence the same difficulty, and have
had pckers leave early patches in the
lower part of the valley for better pick
ing farther up the valley. A suggestion
that pickers be secured by contract for
the season, and that they should forfeit
percentage of their earnings by leaving
before the end OF the season, met with
little favor. Judge A. r. Byrkett re-
marked that as the price Of wages every,
where is higher now than for
years past, the customary price of a
cent and half box may not be
sufficient inducemSat to secure pickers.
An amendment was proposed making
the price for picking cent and three
quarters, and giving packers three
fourths of cent box. This would
mean an additional cost Of cents to the
grower, and was voted down by big
majority.
The difficulty of keeping pickers
throughout the season and of securing
satisfactory work is serious question
with the growers. Lee Morse said he
treated his pickers with consideration
and had the same ones return each
year. During the hot days he keeps his
two boys packing drinking water to the
pickers, and also has them carry the
hand crates to the packing house. A.C.l
Staten thought the growers should pro-
vide comfortable building as shelter
for the pickers. IT, G. Bateham offered
a scheme for building bunk and mess
houses for the pickers at some central
location in each neighborhood.
B. F. Shoemaker thought the growers
were too much at the mercy OF the
ditch companies and that it was up to
the strawberry men to do something to
secure more irrigating water.
Those having strawberry crates had
their say and the meeting adjourned.

the defeat of the week before, came
again to our town to play second
game with the second nine Of this
town. Both teams played some of
the men belonging to their respec'

squaled the matter up. A very
pretty game of ball was played, and
Madison succeeded in adding anotb--
err victory to their record by score
Of z to 2. The game was umpired
by DIR, Dixon, Of Live Oak, whose
rulings at some points Of the game
caused the Madison people to howl
with derision. Notwithstanding the
evident intent Of the umpire TO win
the game for his home team our
boys proved too swift and won the
game as stated.
