L0UELLA SARGENT
WON RING CONTEST

The diamond ring contest which has
been in progress at the Unique theatre
for six or eight weeks was closed Satur-
day evening amid scenes of great
excitement. The largest single house
ever in the theatre occupied every inch
of space and the lobby was packed with
those who were anxious to hear how the
voting stood but could not get inside
the auditorium.
The votes were cast continually during
the evening and counted as fast as
possible by committee. The result
was thrown on the curtain after every
count and as the different candidates
gained or lost, their friends vigorously
applauded. The judges were Jerry
Hayes and F. D. Wilson.
The lead was very unsteady and the
four highest candidates were at one
time or another in first place. making
the final count uncertain. When the
contest closed Louella Sargent had over
200, 600 votes more than her nearest
competitor, Miss Leone Kinefelter.
Miss Sargent was presented with the
ring as soon as the result was known.
She was greatly overcome at her success
and could scarcely express the few words
with which she thanked her friends for
| supporting her so literally. Miss
Sargent worked hard for the prize
which is a very handsome diamond
and well worth trying for.
The defeated candidates accepted
their fate gracefully. The only regret
was that all could not be winners.
The final standing was

APPLE IS MOST
EXPENSIVE WOOD

While owners OF Hood River apple
stumpage are not looking for an op'
portunity to sell their tire, to be out
up into lumber, 1t is a fact that mer-
chantahle apple timber will bring the
highest price which is paid Tor any
wood IN the United States. Many
apple orchards in Indiana, ONO,
illinois and other middle states are
being sold by their owners at the rate
of 800 per thousand boari feet IN the
tree.
n. A. Gladding, of the Atkins Saw
Works, at indianapolis, told Mrs.
Marion McRae in Portland recently
that his company was paying for many
OF these orchards and using the WOOD
for making handles for tools which
they manufacture. A large orchard
or group of orchards will be puIchas-
ed for this purpose and a portable
saw mill moved in to saw up the tree
1t is not often that they are able to
get logs more than six feet from the
tree. Even this size seems veiy I'M

obtained from Hood River trees.

SUCCESS AT HOOD RIVER

The people of Hood River have
rendered two essential services TO
the fruit industry OF Oregon, and for
these they should receive credit, no
matter how mach rivalry may raise
AZ to quality of fruit and prices. In
the first paloe, they have demonstrat
ed the superlative value of proper
cultivation, spraying, pruning, aud
thinning of the fruit. They led the
way In each Of these processes.
Others may do 1t all now, just as
we'll as the bood River men, but a
proper sense OF gratitude oompels us
TO remembe that, II they had not set
the example, nobody would have fol,
lowed 1t. Intelligent study of con.
ditions and the faithful application
of scientific labor to overcome ditfi-
oulties comprise the whole secret of
the excellence of Hood River fruit
But the Hood Ritter men did an
other thing which IL of more practical
value than the mere Irodoutlon of

the supreme good sense to pool their

did was to make au absolutely

THE BOND ELECTION.

The overwhelming majority by
which the water bonds we're voted at
the special election last Friday Is q
strong endorsement Of the policy of
the city council which has strlved
consistently for the past six years to
give the city a municipal supply oi
pure water. The Glacier feels that
the result has warranted 1t in its long
advocancy of the plan adopted. In
former elections, we do not believe
that the voters understood the oon-
ditions as fully as they did last week
and their decisive answer to the pro
position, when they had fuller know
ledge, shows Enthusiastically what they
want.
1t no serious obstacles are met with,
Hood River will have pure and
sucttiient supply OF water next year
at this time. Ihe council 10 to be
commended for the prompt action
they have taken with regard to the
matter of preparing the bonds and 1t
Is to he sincerely hoped that they will
push through to completion the work
in hand. The council will meet
next Monday in adjourned session to
consider the report of the judiciary
committee with regard to the bond
issue.
The bringing in of the City Spring
with its pure and ample supply OF
water will mean more for the develop
ment of Hood River than anything
which could happen. Following the
installation of the system, the city
will then be ready to put down good
streets and make many other i'm.
provements which will lead to a
greater Hood River. Many individ-
uals who have considered locating IN
Hood River have been held back by
the water situation, but the determi
nation OF the people to have good
water, as shown by the election Fri
day, will turn many OF them to this
place where the future looks brighter
than ever before.

The above editorial from the Ore.
gonian lays stress ou the tact that the
Hood River apple men had gained
much by cooperation and that Id a
point which can scarcely be given
too much CT edit for the success which
has been achieved by the orcbardists
in the valley. lhe Apple Growers
Union represents this 90. operation
and the benefits which have been de-
rived by all the apple raisers OF this
valley cannot be estimated. Ever since
the organization Of the union there
has been steady improvement In the
methods employed IN marketing the
apples and this year the growers are
receiving nearly three times the
amount for their pl oduct which they
got the year before the union was
organized.
In 1902 the year before the union
was organized, local buyers paid
the orohardists 50 cents for Newtowns
and Sl.l5 for Spitzenbergs which
represented as good a price as the
growers had received up to that time.
Ihe very next year the union was
organized and marketed the apples
for about twice the amount which the
local buyers had been paying. The
prices we're 81. So for Newtowns, and
81 for SpitzenEergs. Since that yeai
the prices which the union has pro-
cured for the apples has been greater
each year than 1t WAS the preceding
season except In 1909 when there was
especially large crop and the price
went back to about the same IL bad
been two years before. However, this
year the price again went up and,
with Newtowns selling at 81 40 and
Spitzenbergs at from $3.50 to 1885,
the Apple Growers Union got the
highest prios for its apples e'er paid
for any apples anywhere.
The union assists its members IN
getting the best results In superior
apples and then sees to it that the
pack and selection are the best posi-
bic. The high standard maintained
by the Union has given the eastern
trade confidence In the Hood
River apple which Ia enjoyed by no
other fruit grown. Hood River Appl"
Growers Union means "sterling"
for apples. When buyer is absol'
utely sure that he is getting the best
that 10 produced, he 10 willing to pay
good round price for this guarantee
The unicn has also been active in
advertising the valley and Its product
and 10 Just now furnishing the apples
for the car DAD display which will be
put on the Land Il Irrigation Con.
gress in Chicago ten days from now.
The growers of the valley should
appreciate what they have gained by
organization and should use their
best eff orts to protect the union from
enoroaohments by independent snip
pers who are likely to damage the
Hood River reputation. They should
also realize where they would have
been IL they still depended on the
local buyers who used to purchase
their product and they will be doubly
anxious TO o-operate in gaining even
more prestige for the Hood River
apple.
