HEAVY DEMAND
FORAPPLEEXHIBIT
WANT Them IN MANY PLACES.
Commercial Club VIII EndeayOr to
Supply Frnii, But Asks Aid and
Cooperation of Growers.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
Commercial Club was held Monday
evening. The principal matter taken
up by the club was that of providing
apples for exhibition purposes. The
demands for fruit for this use this
year are very numerous. In addition
to the exhibits which will take place
at Spokane and Seattle and the meet
ing Of the Oregon State Horticultural
Society In Portland, requests have
been received from the editor of the
st. Joseph Fruitgrower for display
to be sent to Council Bluffs and at
terwards taken to the meeting of the
Missouri State Horticultural Society
at Columbus. The club is also re.
quested to send three boxes to the
experiment station Of Cornell Univer-
sity at Ithaca, N. Y.
full discussion took place In re-
gard to furnishing exhibits. The sec
retsry reported that an effort to stop
Car OF Spitz en-transit for New York
at Spokane to be entered in the best
carload class had proved a failure as
the New York consignees would not
scquiesce In the arrangement, claim
matter OF an exhibit to be placeds at
the Seattle faiI has already been TAX
en- care of by the county court In
which arrangement the commercial
club will cooperate and the exhibits
to be shown at the meeting of the
State Horticultural Society will be
looked after by individual growers.
The proposition from the st. Joseph
Fruitgrower to place an exhibit at
Council Bluffs was originally submit
ted to the Apple Growers Union. The
exhibit asked for is one of ten boxes
but the directors of the union decl'n-
ed to take any action in the matter
and turned it over to the club, which
will make an effort to do something
about 1t. 1t will also endeavor to
send the fruit which is asked for by
Cornell University.
Another matter that occupied the
attention of the club was that OF pro-
viding apples for the exhibit booth.
Owing to the fact that 1t has been
difficult for the publicity committee
of the club to get apples to display in
it the booth has been closed for
week or ten days. Several members
OF the club stated that since it had
been opened they had found that it
was one OF the best and most practical
ways of advertising the fruit OF the
valley that had ever been devised and
very earnestly advocated thst the dis
play be renewed and the growers asked
to.belp in keeping good display In the
booth. On motion soliciting COM
mittee was appointed to obtain apples
for this purpose and another commit
tee also appointed to arrange for
some one to look after the exhibit and
keep it in shape.

Believe There viii be Graft

Membe of the local Grange associ-
ations are taking up good roads leg
islation and examining the bills which
it is expected will be brought up for
consideration when the Legislature
meets this winter says, the Telegram.
1t is stated by A. [. Mason, member
OF the legislative committee of the
State Grange Association, that the
bill proposed by the Staet Good Roads
Association is not satisfactory to
many members of the organization,
and that they favor compromise be-
tween 1t and the johnson Bill, which
failed to pass at the last session. An
Objectionable feature of the Good
Roads Associations measures is said
to be the bonding feature. which the
Grangers claim puts too much power
in he hands Of the state officials. 1t
Is iutimated that this feature of the
bill will be fought to finnish 1t the
attempt Ia made TO incorpoiat 1t in
the measure which committees from
both organizations will be asked to
frame up at meeting to take place
In Portland this mouth. MIR. Mason
believes that an expression of some
kind from the agricultural commun-
tiles Throughout the state ought to be
obtained in regard to good roads leg
islatiOn, and is endeav oirng to ascer-
tain what residents of Hood River
county think about it.
When the good roads association
was formed here about 100 signed the
membership papers, which contained
the bonding feature, but he does not
think this is sufficient indication OF
what the majority want. Members Of
the state Grangae Association, 1t IL
stated, believe that the immense
amount of money that would rass
through limited number of hands in
the state government would leave
room for graft.

ECHOES OF GREAT
HOOD RIVER FAIR
(By p. $. G.. Wills in skamania Pioneer.)

(By r. $, G. Wills in Skamania Pioneer)
"You people must be free from bad
frosts," was the significant and fre-
quent exclamation as oft from Hood
River people as from strangers from
sfar, when they had seen our display
of almouds and English walnuss,
which demand mild conditions. 1t ia
a well known fact that pIune trees on
the NinVile place, now in Stevenson
and also on the old Garwood home
stead where Sam Samson has planted
apples extensively, have fruited regu-
larry since beginning to bear and it
was due to reference to exceptionally
Favorable climatic conditions in Ska
mania by an expert which attracted
The attention of Prof Knapp of Sc
attle, and lead to his coming here,
where he is principal OF our schools,
where he enjoys rising early and
busying himself planning and looking
after hetterments of the school
grounds, oft with his own hands using
pick and shovel, level, square and
saw. An educator, carpenter and a
practical grower of vegetables he is al
expert on celery growing and believes
that education along with Skamania
county conditions Gao be made es-
pecially lulI and helpful to risipg
generations and thinks our schools
should avail thems Ives of thp provi-
sions of our stste laws which enable
school districts to acquire lands for
building sites, parks and experiment
al farms aud believes We should act
now for the reasons that our LorIi-
cultural Society is actively at work to
secure grounds-that values ale rea.

~ the time to secure ground close in.

Fire DESTROYS Home.

The family of R. E. Cory at Riverton
smellsd smoke for nearly one hour Friday
night before they discovered the fire
which destroyed their home. Mrs CORY,
soon after dinner, thought she detected
the odor of smoke, and carefully searched
the first and second floors, without find
ing any trace of fire. Later in the even
ing, when the maid started up stairs to
put the children to bed she discovered
that the front room ON the third floor was
in flames.
The fire department was telephoned for
by Mrs. Cory, but it was nearly half an
hour later before stream of water was
thrown on the burning building. The
fremen at first were unable to locate a
fire plug and were later delayed by the
hose coming uncoupled several times.
The Palmyra company, which had also
been called for, soon arrived on the scene,
but the fire had gained such Roadway that
nothing but the walls were left standing.
The firemen succeeded in saving the stable.
The loss amounted to about $4,000, com
pletely covered by insurance.
The house was erected by Mr.. Cory
only few months ago.
