FRUIT GROWERS
TO ORGANIZE

III UNUAlVILL
Fruit growers of Payette and Boise
valleys met at Boise Tuesday for the
purpose of discussing matters of great
importance to the horticultural inter-
ests. 1t was decided that hencefOrth
there should be a uniform pack for all
fruit shipped from this section and
also to do away with the commission
men in the sale of the products of the
orchard This was shown that while
the fruit raised in the two valleys was
second to none raised anywhere, that
the fruit did not command the prices
that Hood river, Oregon, fruit did.
H. w. Dorman, of Caldwell, presid-
ed at the meeting and H. L. Yost, OF
Meridian officiated as secretary. In
opening the meeting the chairman
made a few complimentary remarks
concerning the fruit industry in this
section and it's possibilities and stated
the need of organized action both in
buying and selling. He spoke of the
different organizations in the various
towns in the valley, especially the one
at Caldwell where he said man was
engaged to watch the markets, over
see the packing of the fruit and vari-
GUS matters pertaining to the indus
try. He told of the harmony at the
meeting and firmly believed better re-
suits would be obtained under that
method this season than had been re-
ceived in the past. He also stated
that there would be no peddlers of
fruit as far as the Caldwell associa-
ton was concerned.
b. f. Hurst made strong talk
condemning the commission men and
advocating the same action taken by
the wool growers He was followed
by c.. j. Sinsel, one of the largest
fruit dealers in the valley, who ex-
planned how in selling to the commits
sion men, large shipments of fruit
from this valley were put on sale in
the Eastern market in direct competi-
ton and through that action the far
mers were cutting each others Threats
retarding the fruit industry and cut
ting down the profits to the grower.
He stated it costs approximately $14O,-
900 to market the fruit of the Boise
and Payette valleys under the present
sySte moi selling and consigning to the
commission men. He advocated the
system of local organizations work
ing through a central organization
which controlled the selling and
watched the shipments to see that
fruit from this section was not placed
on any market in direct competition.
He also advocated each fruit grower
joining the association put up bond
to have his fruit handled through the
association in order that no one could
back out because a commission man
seeing conditions would make an Of
fer of % or 80 cents more per box,
than could be secured by the asso-
citation. A similar organization was
perfected before, he stated, and one of
its leading members kicked over the
traces because he could make an ex-
ira 25 cents per box and broke up the
association, putting the selling again
at the mercy of the commission man.
Others also spoke. Among them
was Mr.. Allen, of Hood river, who ex-
planned their method of handling and
selling the fruit.

Coronado Annual Tournament Comes

All Championships Will
Be Decided
Especial to The Herald.1

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 21.-Unusual in
terest attaches to the tennis games to-
morrow at Coronado because of the fact
that the three championships of the
sixth annual Country club tennis tour
nament will be decided.
Miss May Sutton, the oft-repeated
woman champion, is to meet Miss Ha-
eel Hotchkiss again when they play for
the championship in the women's sim
giles.
Tom Bundy will play Maurice Nc
Laughlin for the mems championship,
and May Sutton and Simpson Sinsa-
baugh will play Tom Bundy and Mrs.
Bruce for the doubles championship.
1t virtually is a contest of the north
against the south, as Miss Hotchkiss
halls from Berkeley, while May SUIT
toms home is in Pasadena, and Nc
Laughlin is from San Francisco and
Bundy represents Los Angeles.
Experts who have watched the pro-
gress of the tourney expect that May
Sutton will find a Tartar in Hazel
Hotchkiss when they meet on the court
tomorrow afternoon, and Mclaughlin is
touted by many to be the winner over
Bundy. 1t is evident that the repre-
sentatives Of Southern California have

morrow.

Los Angeles herald., 1909-02-22

ENUEL BERRY was so angry at
Saturday midnight that he could
not see across the room with a
Lick observatory telescope if he could
have had one. He walked up and
down Spring street for four hours in
the drizzling rain, scanning the be-
clouded skies for some hopeful signs
of a break in the clouds, but to no
avail. Then he got into communica
ton with the sporting editors and no
titled them that the Elks benefit game
of baseball, scheduled for yesterday
afternoon at the Chutes, had been
postponed until the following week.
After he had laboriously. performed
this distasteful task he fooled around
until l o'clock and then started for
home. AS he walked out into the dark
ness and casually glanced to the skies,
a bit surprised that it was not pouring
wetness at flood rates, he let forth an
exclamation that shook all the build
ings around him and scared his small
party of friends almost into Mysteries.
Then he muttered some words that
would not look we'll in print as he
pointed at cloudless sky and prophe-
sled that tomorrow will be the pref
tieSt Sunday we have had in a year."
Gee, but he was mad-not angry, but
plainly in the preliminary stages of
hydrophob1a. He said he was fight
ing fool and that his hard luck made
him want to go into training with the
first stranger he met. After being
kidded for half an hour by his friends
because he got cold feet so quickly he
laughed and turned for the carriage
to go home with the remark that 81
guess I'm the bonehead instead of Hap
Hogan and Freddie Maier.''
BY the way, the game was postponed
until next Sunday, but Hen says that
he reserves the right to further post
pone it if the sun fails to do it's duty
Hen says that he intends to have that
game played if it takes all summer to
do 1t, but he wants it to be an occasion
of occasions, and only a balmy spring
day will meet the eXigencies of the
aforesaid occasion. His good judgment
in postponing the game yesterday was
fully justified in the high winds and
cold blasts that featured the entire day.
All tickets heretofore sold hold good.
Hen says that he will engage a brass
band next Saturday night and Sunday
morning to convey the final information
to the fans that the game will be played

esteem in which local fans hold the

last sentence is significant in that it
shows that the little English champion
is doing the weight he insists upon hav-

undoubtedly will renew the contract.
The arrival of Jack Johnson along
about April 1 will help stir up interest

may be induced to say something Of a
definite nature then. 1t Is hoped that
he will stick to his original declaration
of retirement, as many great horse

cause of a poor start or an accident

Jeff should take no chances, even small
they might be.
Maurice Sayers sure is the hard luck
kid. He lost close decision at Vernon
and when to Frisco, where he whipped
Johnny Murphy, according to every
body except the referee, and lost the
decision. With an even break, Maurice
will trim more lightweights than will

m HE player who tops a batting list
and can work the opposing pitch
er for a pass of some kind, either
a base on balls or have his ribs tickled
with the horsehide once in each game,
no doubt would be worth his weight in

would be gobbled up in jiffy by Hen"

matter of fact "Puss" Halbritter first
baseman of the Los Angeles high school
team, comes closer to the mark than
any other player in the interscholastic
county league. Last Saturday "Puss"
more nearly went to the morgue than
answering to his name at the little red
school house on the hill.
"Puss' tried to get him name in full
face type on the front page of the vari-
Gus Los Angeles sporting pages, and
would have made good had not his
father told the truth and gave away
the rumor that "Puss'' had received
four fractured ribs.
Halbritter wanted to visit some
friends in the evening, out in the west
ern part of the city, and told this gag"
to one Of his team mates, so there would
be an excuse for his being absent from
the gang" The fun of the whole story
is this: The friend who was supposed
to pass the 'con" told four at one time,

learned that his purpose while in the

baseball. and before he returns home
