For the third time this year
the entire Boyer valley is
flooded on account of heavy
rains north of us. Heretofore
the damage has not been so
great as was thought during
the flood but the present flood
will completely destroy the
crop on the overflowed land.

VENDORS OF "sCALY FRUIT"

iENDOkS VI "StALl FRUIT"
An incident occurred at Grants Pass
during the recent visit Of the excur-
sion train of the Spokane Chamber OF
Commerce which bears out the con-
tention made by the Hood River Com
mercial Club last year that it is IN
wise to allow the peddling Of inferior
fruit ut the trains. The Mediord
Tribune says:
"When the excursionists euteTed
the northern end of the valley, they
were met by crowd of bowling boys
who sold them apples OF Inferior quail
ity which led the eXcursi, nists to
make all manner Of fun of the "Won
derful NeWtown Pippins." Needl "
to say, MedfOId co rfcted this impTss
sion by giving them some Of the liu-
est gIuWn anywhere "
lhe booth erected here by the Com
mel cial Club has not been self sustain
ing, and is kept open only at inter
walls, while fruits III season are abund-
ant, but 1t is better TO sell no fruit
at all than inferior stuff that would
be a damage to Hood Rivers reputa.
tion. irresponsible vendors of huit
cannot seem to resist the temptation
TO work eff cuIls, wormy apples, and
the second grade stuff in order to
make an extra profit, caring little
whether the community in which
they live suffers in consequence or
not. IL is benefit alike to public
and the valley to have fruit on sale at
all times at The trains, and every in
ducement should be made TO have the
booth kept open, under the control of
the Commercial Club, but as the
above incident shows, it is better to
have no fruit at all unless 1t is of the
best.
Medford is also sufferer in this
respect, as the following will show:
"Ihis reminds us to say that there
Is not passenger train goes through
this city that men and boys are not
violating the law by exposing for sale
diseased fruit. Let us inquire whose
duty it Is to stop these violations OF

the matter to the city marshal. Many
good people have in the past been an.

at the trains and not few have made
determined efforts to have these dis
graceful practices stopped but moth
ing has come of it. The men who
spend their money to clean their or
chards aud are fighting the disease of
their fruit trees protest against max
ing Grants Pass a breeding ground
for all manner of fruit diseases. They
call upon the sheriff and all others in
authority to clean up the pests and
make the city worthy of the orchards
which will with slight help make
Grants Pass the center of the best
fruit section In the world. The COM
merciai club had this subject up for
discussion last Tuesday night, but no
action was taken. The moral OF this
story is that it is a bad way tor
Grants Pass to advertise its fruits
and its fine orchard lands.
