NEVER BE TOO
MANY APPLES
NO FEAR OF OVER PRODUCTION
Commissioner Filcher Declares There
viii Always BE a Demand
for Fine Fruit.

j. \. Filcher of California, who is
i'll charge of the permanent exhibit of
that state, made the statement when
in Hood River last Sunday that this
valley need not fear that there will
ever be an over production of New
towns and Spit2enbergs of the quality
of these apples here
81 have been advising people to set
out apple orchards for the last 10
years, " said he. "Pe0ple called me
foolish when | frs advocated an ex-
tension of the fruit business, but
there are many men who have grown
rich because they took my advice.
''lhe best of everything is always
in demand. You apple en- here
produce something which firmly be-
leive cannot be duplicated elsewhere,
and you need have no fear that the
price of your fruit will ever fall be-
low the cost Of productions. "
Mr.. FilCher is an old friend of Mr..
Shepard of Palo Alto, Calf, the
father of II. Ii. Shepard of this city
and used to know h. II. when he was
a lad on his fathers fruit farm in
iuba county years ago. w. +. Roth
cry of Portland and 7. w. Dunkan of
Santa Cruz accompanied Mr. Filcher
to Hood River, Sunday. They spent
the day here, and went over the val
ley with Manager Shepard of the APP
pie Growers association.
Like all visitors here they we're dc.
lighted with the country, and wonder
fully impressed with the future pros
poets. MI. Filcher was in charge of
the California fruit display at the
Lewis and Clark exposition. Hood
River pople can testify that he is an
expert on displaying the products of
his state. He also served in thisscapac-
ity at Chicago, Buffalo, Omaha and
st. Louis, and when in California
spends his time telling visitors about
the great advantages his state offers
to people intending to settle in the
West.
Down in the Vaca valley, where Mr..
Filcher makes his home, the whole
country is one vast apple orchard.
The fences have been removed, and
the only dividing lines for the prop
erty- holders are roads, network of
roads. The Vaca valley is about two
thirds the area of Hood River valley.
The apple men from there are making
money from their fruit.

said that. neither the notice of Sena-
tor Williams, of Davidson, nor the
reported action of the opponents Of
the Ward bill was causing him any
alarm as far he is personally con-
cerned. He said that since he had
been In public life he had SOUGHT to
do the duty of the hour as he saw
without regard to the denunciation
and threats of those who differ with
him; that since he had been in the
Senate, both with reference to his
position measures at Washington and
in the State he had not stopped to in
quire or debate with himself the effect
of his action upon his personal for
tunes and ambition, for in his opin-
ion no man can do that and be of
much. if any, benefit to his constitu-
ency.
Speaking of the Ward bill, Sena-
tor Simmons said he was earnestly in
favor Of it. and that with respect to
II he had no dOubt~aS to his duty and
the best interest of the Democratic
party. He added that, destroying the
four hundred little distilleries in the
interest Of morality and in the dis
charge of public duty had not hurt
the Democratic party but had greatly
strengthened it. Neither would il
hurt the party. in serving the same
great public interest, to pat out of
operation the big distillcries of a few
rich men in and out of
the party whose distilIeries
by q Legislative device were impru-
IDENTIFY exempted to the operation Of
the law which struck down these lit
tie distilerics.
If The Legislature shall now de:ib-
crately continue this exemption in
favor Of d few rich dstilleries the
people will want to know in the next
campaign why this discrimination.
they will want TO know under whose
leadership the Democratic party has
become the champion of special privi-
lcgcs to these big distlleries. These
hib and rich distillerS have not saved
the Democratic party lin the past and
they cannot destroy 1t in the future.
The people have more interest in pro-
tecting the morality OF their children
than in protecting the Investment Of
these dispensers OF vice and social ana
political debauchery.
