ADA oVERToN WALKER.

In recent interview, Ada Oyerton
Walker was asked, Would it be pos
sible for you to play with white com
pany?" She said, yes, but | don't
want to leave my race. The race has
only too few strong characters on the
stage today, and while | am but

Dramatic Art, | may do some good.
may inspire some racial confidence,
and unless circumstances force me to
the white race shall never go. am
sorry that Mr. Williams left us. We
are not strong enough to spare him to
the white race, you see. | fear that If
those of us who have been pioneers
leave the race. we will have to start
all over again, as Williams and Walk

race woman, and am always sorry to
see the white race take our genius
from us.

FLORENCE ROBERTS IN THE
NIGGER.
(By F. w. WI


1t is rather difficult to understand
why the niger was ever written, or
when written, pictorially produced.
Structurally and ethically it is bad.
Its theme is dismally unpleasant, and
no good is accomplished by its implied
insult to a race of human beings, or
it's offensive suggestion to a prevalent
sectional sentiment. A callow but un-
deniably clever Harvard man is the
author of THE Niger and also the
play of the slums, named Salvation
Nell" two plays for the people that
should have never been written, as
they do more harm than good, and
THE Niger" is proving to be such a
failure that the company that is play
ing IN Denver this week will break up
tonight, and Miss Roberts will go to
.>ew York at once to star in some
thing that's a betterment for the
whole nation of people.

The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1911-01-26
THE SELLING QUESTION.

The movement on foot this week in
Portland, where representatives of the
northwestern fruit sections are called
together to devise some plan for the
better marketing of their fruit, has
been brought about by the conditions
which resulted this year from the
indiscrimlnate dumping of the whole
apple crop of the Pacific Northwest
onto the eastern markets at one time.
Whether the meeting will result in the
adoption of plan which will solve the
question entirely is doubtful, but it
will have good results at least.
We are this year brought face to
face with the selling problem. Hood
River has solved the question of the
growing and packing Of apples to per-
fection, but has yet much to learn in
regard to marketing the crop to secure
the highest returns. Whether it
would profit Hood River to enter into
an association which had apples to sell
OF all grades and prices, is question.
Different varieties of apples must 60
to different markets, and at different
prices. Yet au association which
would keep in touch with market CON
ditions and 80 distribute the crop from
the various sections as to prevent a
glut of the market at any one place,
would be of general benefit. Whether
that can be done, is a question, but it
is perhaps worth trying.
In any event, Hood River must here
after pay as much attention to the
marketing of its apples as to the grow
ing and packing, and it will pay to get
the best selling force that can be
secured and pay salaries accordingly.
If sales manager in the field is able
to save the growers even five cents Il
box, it would amount to $25, 900 on this
years crop alone, and what will it be
in the future? 1t is the most import
ant question with which we have to
deal at present, and it is so regarded
by the directors of the Apple Growers
Union as we'll as others who have
given the matter any thought.
Whether we join in any plan which
may be adotped by the meeting being
held in Portland or not, we should back
up the Union in putting a competent
selling force in the field to place our
apples at the right time and at the
right price.

GLACIER SLIDES

A Hood River ''spoWt" fell heir to
$4 a few days ago and is contemplating
on resigning his "posish" until he can
separate himself from his "windfaIl. &"
He freely admits that he will be un-
able to create blizzard out of a
"windfall" Of that dimension.
Two members of Hood River S
Handholders union went to skate "a few
lines the other night. The ice seemed
to be in splendid condition. The good
time the two members were having
cant be described in this short article.
When they reached place where the
ice was only half baked, into the water
they went up to their chins Other
members of the union fshed them out.
Mayor Hartwig should appoint an ice
inspector at tie next meeting of the
city dads.
A drug clerk told us confdentiaIy
the other day that all the girls with
pretty blonde hair got it where he is
employed.
Some of this winter weather should
be canned for next August.
Some of the Hood River girls have
lowered themselves by discarding their
French heels
One of Hood Rivers would-be sports
claims to have gone to The Dalles and
back in Is minutes. Surely he arrived
at The Dalles after closing time.
The telegraph dispatches announced
All earthquake the other day, but it
wasn't quake, it was a Hood River
girl who ate four bowls of China
noodles and fell out Of bed
California boasts that in that state
you can get, by travelling many miles,
any climate you desire. In the noun
aims of that state there is plenty of
snow, in the eastern part sIeet, west
ern part rain and in the Southern part
plenty of sunshine. Hood River could
beat that city block. One day last
week we had snow for breakfast, sleet
for dinner, sunshine in the afternoon
and rain for supper and no one had to
travel many miles to get it, it actually
came to us.
How do you like the new year as far
as it has gone?
When the spring time comes, gentle
Annie, etc
A little winter now and then, is
relished by the wisest of men.
The last interesting thing to make
its appearance in this good old town
was the bond election.
Why is it that some people are slower
than molasses in January to present a
bill? A Hood River man had a bill
presented to him yesterday which was
two years old. The first item charged
was for box of bon bons and the next
charge two years later was for nurs-
ing bottle. My, how time flies
- One of Hood Rivers handsome as
well as popular cigar clerks came to
the store the other morning with a
scar on the side of his head which
looked for all the world like life size
link of weinerwurst The aforesaid
clerk contends that his top-piece came
in contact with the furnace door, but
the knowing ones claim that his wife
threw stick of stove wood at a cat
with the usual result. Anyway her

LET THE COURT NAME THE PRICE.

The special election held last Satur-
day for the purpose of voting again on
the question Of paying in the neighbor-
hood Of $40, for the private water
plant, resulted in its rejection. Over
100 freehold voters did not express an
opinion at the polls, and if they bad, it
is safe to say that most of them would
have voted against it, Whether the
city can agree with the owners of the
private company upon ID price is a
question. The opinion Of the tax
payers of the city as to the value Of
the plant ranges from nothing up to
the value which the private company
are willing to take. If the plant is
purchased at all by the city, it will
cause dissatisfaction in some quarters
no matter what price is finally agreed
upon, and will probably get into the
court to settle. Why not put it there
at once by condemnation proceedings
and let the court determine what price
the city shall pay the owners as dam
ages. If the private company have
any property of value to the city in the
water plant let the court determine
what that value is, and let the city
accept the situation and pay it, what
ever the price may be. The fact that
the water has been termed unfit for
use by the state board of health must
be reckoned with, and due considera-
ton given to this feature of the ques-
tion. We believe there would be
willingness on the part Of the public in
general to accept the finding Of the
court as to what damages the company
is entitled to, whether the amount be
great or small, and the water question
could be settled on fair basis to all
parties. .The private owners seem un-
willing to recede from their position of
a big price for the plant, and the pub
lie are unwilling to pay the price
asked. Let the court name the price.

COMPANY ORGANIZED
FOR SMALL INVESTOR

For the purpose of interesting small
investors, not only locally butlalso in
Portland and in the east, The Oregon
Apple Co. of Hood River is placing be-
fore the public a proposition whereby
the man without means to purchase a
large ranch may still be entitled to
share in the profits derived from Hood
River apples. To this end 300 acres Of
the best apple land of the Valley has
been procured. Geo. |. Sargent, who
is well known among the Orchardists
as an expert hOrticulturist, has been
secured to manage the ranch. He will
superintend the planting of the tract.
Judging from Mr.. Sargent's past sue
ces along this line, high class or
chard IS insured.
This proposition should prove very
interesting to the man who is desrous
Of getting gratifying return from
small investments. The company,
