E. A. FRANZ RETIRES
FROM BETTER FRUIT

Owing to the fact that II. A. Franz,
who has been associated with Il. Ii.
Shepard in publishing "Better Fruit, "
has made arrangements to retire from
the fruit business and engage In an
other occupation, Mr.. Shepard has
purchased Mr.. Franz's interest In
that publication and will assume full
control and management Of it.
Since the publication was started
less than a year ago ID has made a
phenomenal growth in circulation and
has proved success from Its incep.
tion. Its circulation at present is very
close to 5000 copies and it is being
sent to almost every part of the Unit
England. In its sphere 1t is looked
upon by fruit men and growers as un
equalled and the faculties OF agricult-
ural colleges are loud In their en-
dorsement OF the good work 1t has
done in the interest of what its name
implies, "Beter Fruit.
Mr. Shepard says that while he re-
grets to lose MI. Franz as co. work
or the publication will be conducted
along the same lines that it has Teen
ia the past with the same standard OF
excellence both geographically and
editorially and that the next issue
will be larger than any that has yet
been published. 1t will contain 81
pages made necessary by increased
advertising and the fact that he does
not want to reduce the amount OF
matter which he has been supply ing
to appreciative readers. "Better
Fruit" is not only apparently filling
a place among the fruit papers that
was long neglected, but it has also
done some good work In advertising
Oregon and Hood River, and has been
the means of bringing several invest
ors and desirable residents to the val.
ley and to other parts of the state
alsO.

"COAXERS" TAKE men
FROM CONTRACTORS

So keen has competition become be-
tween contractors on the North bank
railroad that they are said to Ee en-
ticing men away from each other on
the promise OF higher wages, better
food or any inducement that they can
offer. A captain OF one of the river
boats who was at Hood River Monday
said that In his many years exper-
ience on the river he had never seen
such demand for laborers as there
is this spring, and in speaking OF 1t
said:
"For some time we have been Car
rying all the passengers we are allow
ed to on our up-trips. In fact have
had to leave from 10 to 10 people on
the dock in Portland several morn
ings. Most of the passengers have
been laborers for the North Bank rail
road, who had sbeen rounded up by
contractors and sent aboard for vari
GUS points on the river. | didn't pay
much attention to where the men were
going until we arrived at points we'll
up the river, when contractors would
meet the boat and inquire where 1.-The
men were who had been sent out that
morning. All could say was that
didn't know anything about them.
The contractor would reply that they
had started, because he had been
wired to that effect.
"After this had happened several
times | took to watching the men,
and found that each day several fel.
lows came on board, got them to
leave the boat before they had reach
ed their .original destinations. One
contractor who started 40 men from
Por ;land got six. found out after
ward that these men are known
among railroad laborers as 'coaxers,
and make regular business of get
ting men for railroad camps In this
way.
81 have put stop to it, however,
and yesterday put man who was en-
gagged In 'coaxing' ashore at Cape

20 men on board, but ashore he went

that it Kept the officers of the boat

held at lTrigon last week and report a
large and enthusiastic meeting. MI.
Mason addressed the meeting as did
also DIR. Withycomb and others. Mr..
Greison says that the audience In at

very much impi essed with Mr.. Ma,

In injecting considerable warmth 10 a

entertainment while at lrrigon aud
that wonderful results hsve al.
ready been obtained there, and that

which grow to an enormous size and
are of fine flavor.

LAND OFFICE RUMORS
ONCE MORE AFLOAT

1t would seem the general public Is
very much In the air as to who will
receive the appointments for register
and receiver of The Dalles land office.
Many have been named for these Off.
oes but as yet no definite conclusion
has been arrived at in regard to fill
ing them. Among those who have
been said to be aspirants for the
places are j. S. Fish, Q. j. Farley,
Addison Bennett, Il. j CHM and
several others.
1t is understood that Malcolm
Moody has been making despel ate
efforts to have appointment made
that would be favorable to him and
that he Journeyed al! the way to the
national capital to present his prefer.
ence to the president. AS MIR. Moody
no longer holds the office of nation
al representative from Oregon what
influence he can bring to bear on the
president In the matter is not known.
1t is reported however that beth Sen
ators Fulton and Bourne strongly re-
sent Mr.. Moody's usurpation of the
time honored privilege OF senators
controlling the patronage of their dis.
triots and that they have so stated to
the president.
The latest rumor founded on a dis.
patcn from Washington is to the effect
that Edward +. Sharpe, of The
Dalles, who was candidate for rep
resentative to the legislature from
this district last spring has been rec
commended for the position of regst.
or by both Senators Fulton and
Bourne and that G. 0. Butler, of.Fos.
sill, has been recommended by them
for the position Of receiver. 1t il
stated that both Sharpe and Butler
are most decided anti Moody men
aud we're selected for this reason.
From the same source 1t Is learned
that should the president make ap.
pointments to the offices during the
recess of congress that are favorable
TO Mr.. Moody their confirmation will
be most bitterly opposed by both Sen
ators Fulton and Bourne. Both Mr..
Sharpe and Mr.. Butler are said to be
highly qualified to perform the duties
Of the respective offices and we're se-
ecoted on that account.
