LEGAL HOLIDAY IN DISTRICT.
Provisions of Resolution as to Lin.
coins Birthday.

Lincoln's birthday will be made per-
manent legal holiday in the District of
Columbia and the territories of the United
States if resolution recently introduced
by Senator Dick of Ohio is enacted into
law. Under the terms of the measure
the President is requested to issue a proc
lamation annually declaring the twelfth
day of February a legal holiday in the
territories.
During the last Congress the bill making
Linconlns centenary a legal holiday was
passed the 11th of February. only few
moments before the adjournment of Con-
gress for the day. and caused much in
convenience TO people affected by the law
by causing them to report to work next
day.
It, is probable that the bill will receive
consideration at this session.

On account of the magnitude to
which the business of your associa-
tion has grown, my statement of the
various details is necessarily long,
therefore. remarks and suggestions
will be brief.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
had the finest prospect for a large
crop of all kinds of fruit up to a
very late date, our great enemy, frost,
did its work and with the exception
of the Palisade district. our crop was
almost an entire failure; but we
should not be discouraged when we
think back. that for twelve years
this has been the only season that
we have not had fairly good crop
of apples and pears in all sections of
our valley.
PaIisadc, as usual, came through
with practically II full crop of her
famous EIbcrta peaches. As my
statement shows. our association
alone shipped from that point, in
GLIDING Bridges Switch which is in
their district, 2D5 ears of fruit. which
was mostly Elberta peaches. be-
Iieve any one should feel proud to
live in any portion of the Grand val
lev, but i wish To especially congra-
ulatc the grower who is lucky enouSh
TO live in the PaIisade district that
never fails.
Although having to contend with
adverse conditions all through the
mast year, ] feel that we have again
produced results that are entirely
satisfactory and also clearly demon
strated the fact that this association
is so organized and syStematlZed as

any condition which 1t has to race
1t may appear to some tnat re-
turns on their peaches especially Were
low. To me, however. they are all, II
not more than should be expected
when we realize that the large peach
producing sections such as California
Georgia, Texas and other points had
enormous crops and had many cars
sold at prices which would not pay
the transportation charges.
There are several reasons, now
over. why we should realize ran
nrices for our fruit in all seasons
even though other districts may be
sbippine at loss. These reasons
are that we certainly grow the high'
.st coiored, the finest Favored and
the best keeping fruit OF all KINDS

other important reason is our sys

would be subscribed for in two weeks
time, but | do not believe such meth
cd will be necessary; | think our
present members will see to it that
the necessary financial assistance
will be forthcoming from the regular

Our stock ledger shows that there
are 1872 stockholders in this assoc

but one share each, 13S own but two

members, over half the entire mem
bership. who hold only 564 shares.
There are 500 members who hold
but five shares or less each and 20
members who own the limit or 300
shares each.
Now on account of this condition,
cannot see why it should be very diff
ficult to increase this capital and
allow every member to own enough
stock so that he would at least have
an interest in the welfare of the or

There is nothing philanthropic in
this; it is merely business prop

good dividends could be depended

money to this organization, for it is
really loan rather than purchase.
