TO MARKET BENTON APPLES.
A Bumper Crop Expected-This Writer
Wants to Take Measures for
Them.

Editor TIMES: Will you permit
me to call attention to the fruit
growers of Benton county to
the necessity Of forming some or
ganizatioa or plan to market our
fruit for the coming season.
The prospects for a fine fruit
crop especially applesis very bright
growers generally have paid at
tention to early spraying, and if the
good work is continued I look for
bumper crop of fine applesin Ben
ton county.
Now comes the question what
are we going to do with them?
Many of you think all you have to
do is to raise fine fruit and the rest
is easy, but let me tell you, grow
ing the fruit is only half the work
and the easiest half at that too.
The Corvallis market is good and
takes good many apples In small
lots, that it has not been overstock
ed is I believe chiefly owing to so
lew growers producing clean ap-
pies. Now that spraying is more
generally practiced I look for large
lot of clean apples. 1t will be i'm
| possible for one local market to
handle them they must be shipped.
To realize any fair price for them
they must be properly packed,
properly shipped and above all,
properly sold. That is where Hood
River and Rogue River growers
have the great advantage over US,
our apples and other fruit are fine,
perhaps almost as good as are pro
duced anywhere, but when it comes
to selling them in large lots we
don't know the first principle OF
the business. But we can learr
and if we are to make a success OF
the business we can and must dc
so. Take a good horticultural pa
per, Better Fruit published by E.
| H. Shepard of Hood River, is about
the best know of, you can see by
| it the thoroughly systematic work
| that is done by the Hood Rivel
grower that has given him such &
splendid reputation.
Now I will ask every apple grow
er in Benton county to write to me
telling me what amount and var.
eties of apples you will have, an6
make suggestions as to the bes
way to dispose of them. and I will
try to answer all letters and we vii
consider what are the best ways t.
market Our crops.

MODERN R00MING HOUSE.
Justice Jordan VIII Erect the Struct-
ure in Oakley, Between Fnyette
and Russell Streets.

Believing that 1t will be a profitable
investment, Justice W. a. Jordan has
decided to build a modern rooming
house on his newly acquired property
between Fayette and Russell streets
near Oakley avenue. The building will
be located west of Maginot's flatiron
and it is to be a two story building.
Justice Jordan has thus far decided to
use concrete blocks for building ma
terial as it is highly recommended al
though little used in Hammond. The
building will face on Fayette street.
When completed Mr.. Jordan also in
tends 70 move his justice court there
thinking that with the opening of the
new postofice. business will have
moved far enough eastward to war
rant the change. Otherwise the build
ing Will be used for rooming purposes
only.

UNION TREASURER
AN EMBEzzLER
Ward Berry of Clerks Or
ganization, East Chicago,
Is Short S228.

Ward Berry. treasurer Of the Retail
Clerks union at East Chicago. and an
employe in Browns grocery store. is
short in his accounts with the union to
the extent of about s2Ss
He has made no attempt to leave
town and simply says that he has
spent the money and is unable to pay
it back. It is said that the green
topped tables have too much of an at
traction for him.
The discovery of his shortage was
made several weeks ago and there
have been several meetings of the
Clerks union to see if a settlement
with the embezzehng treasurer could
not be made
They found this impossible, however,
and few days ago called the mat
ter TO the attention of Prosecuting At
tcrney Boone who promised 10 pros
ecute the case.
1t is understood that Berry's defal-
cations are sufficiently covered by
surety bonds so that the loss to the
union will be nothing.
S. 3. Grebner. one of trustees of the
organization. said that there was not
much sympathy for Berry. He simply
spent money that was intrusted to his
care and we propose to see that he
receives the punishment he deserves" &"

UNCLE" DICK HAS
MAYORALTY BOOMLET
Seibert Dreams Sweetly of
Time When He Will Oc-
cupy Executive Chair.

Even as the song Of q bird in the
distance comes the sound Of a boom in
spring Uncle" Richard Seibert to
make a race for the mayoralty.
The campaign is still far off. Mayor
Becker being hardly warm in his seat
since the beginning Of his second term
last January. Still the hustling baker
is guided by his watchword, The early
bird catches the worm" Nobody gets
up earlier than does Uncle" Richard
seibert, for he is a baker and never
sleeps at night
Occasionally he grants himself an
hour during the day. and lately it has
been noticed that he sleeps for q long
er time than usual. The explanation Is
found in the fact that is being blessed
with sweet dreams in which he sees
himself as the mayor Of the city Of
Hammond The thing has been started
now and it cannot be stopped. for
friends are cuddling and nursing it un-
til il IS taking on proportions alto
gether out of keeping with the season.
