To morrow the republican CEN
trail committee of the county will
meet for the purpose of adopt
ing or rejecting the primary sys-
tenn for the nomination of county
officers this fall. There is an
almost universal demand from
the republicans OF the county
Tor the adoption Of the primary
system, and it lays with the
county committee to give effect
to this desire. and thus to an ex-
tent cut off the opportunity for
bossism or wire-pulling. The
friends of Messrs. Bentley and
Rabbit are opposing the adop-
ton Of . primary vote, as an
der it they will be unable to
make combinations that will lift
them into county Office. All
kinds of excuses will be made
by these men and their friends,
who will pretend that they really
favor the primary system but
don't want it adopted until some
county convention has asked for
it or until il becomes a state law.
These are simply excuses to kill
the primary law this fall and
permit Messrs. Bentley aud
Rabbit to work out a com bina-
ton. We wish to give fair warn
ing to any of these men who are
in danger Of becoming the tools
OF Mr.. Bentley and Mr.. Rabbit,
that the eyes of the people of the
county are upon them and that
they will be held responsible if
they permit themselves to bel
used by these would-be dicta-
tors. Give the republicans of
the county an opportunity to
have q direct vote on each can
didate and every fair-minded
man will be satisfied.

RUSHING WORK
ON FLOUR Mill

A visit to the manufacturing district
in the north end of the city shows
everything all hustle and business there.
twenty-five men with teams are busy
grading for the new o. h. q N. freight
depot at the foot of Irving street, and
block further west, half this number of
men are rushing the work on the Hood
River Touring mill.
The warehouse for the mill is already
under roof, and the first story and base.
ment of the mill completed. Two more
stories of IA feet each are to be added
to the mill, making it from the north
side four-story structure. The work
is OF a substantial order, everything be-
ing done under the direct supervision of
j. L. Aplin, the manager of the mill.
q. j. Gessling, secretary for the mill
ing company, informs the Glacier that
his company is constructing the mill SO
that the capacity may be increased to
200 or $50 barrels day with the addi-
tion OF extra rollers. They expect to
begin with l00-barrel capacity.
John z. Aplin, who is to be manager
of the Hood River Milling Co., is highly
spoken of all over the state regarding
his capabilities as a trst-class and thor
ough mill man. T. B. Wilcox of the
Portland FIGURING Mills Co., says Mr..
Aplin knows more about operating -four
ing mills than any other man in the
state. He is frequently called upon to
repair mills when other men find it an
impossibility.
The railroad company has lumber on
the ground for their warehouse. Three
or four narrow guage railways, upon
which dump carts are operated with
horses, carry the excavated earth aud
rock to the north of the railroad track,
where it is used to make a fill for the
extension OF the main track toward the
river.
The building for the Hood River Mill
ing Co. will cost between $4,000 and
$1,000. The milling machinery is said
to be worth $4,000.

RATE ON APPLES
IS UNCHANGED

The report was current among the
apple shippers Monday that the rail-
roads had increased the freight rate on
apples between Hood River and New
York to fl.50 hundred in carload lots.
The rate last year was 81. General
Freight Agent Miller had wired Agent
]. 7. Kinnaird that the rate this year
would be $l.50. Manager Shepard
could hardly believe this even when he
saw the wire from Portland
Agent Kinnaird informed the Glacier
that the freight rate matter was in an
unsettled condition, and by Tuesday he
was able to give out the information
that the old rate of 81 hundred would
continue in force this year.
Had the rate remained as first sent
out by Mr.. Miller it would have meant
an additional cost of 25 cents a box in
getting Hood River apples to the New
York markets. AS the bulk Of this
years crop is sold, this expense would
have fallen upon the apple shippers.
The loss to them would have amounted
to thousands of dollars.
The railroads have granted reduc.
ton in freight rates to California, but
this is offset by similar reduction from
New York state. York state Baldwins
are rushing into the California markets,
where the apple crop this year shows a
shortage of rs per cent, on 60 cent
