REVIEWS ELECTION

In a review of the recent election of
the Hood River Apple Growers Union
and with compliment to G, II.
Sproat, former manager of the Union
the Produce News says:
"The success the Hood River Union
has enjoyed for several years has been
largely due to the persistent and untir-
ing efforts of Manager Sproat. lie is
conversant with the business and has
built up a wide reputation for Hood
River fruit by insisting on pack that
was always first class. Many of the
older members feel that it was a mis-
take to discontinue his services and
while there are no hard feelings pub
licly expressed at the meeting. a
number have withdrawn from the
Union and associated themselves with
Mr.. Sproat, who has formed the Hood
River Commercial Orchard Co., with a
paid up capital of $25, 600.
Manager Sproat in his report called
attention to the criticism from the
east regarding the quality of the
Unions fancy grade of apples and said
in many instances the Union had tC
allow rebates to get the buyers to ac-
cept some cars. He said he believed il
would be necessary for the growers to
pick their apples earlier than they
have been doing, which means that
they must sacrifice some degree OF
color in order to have fruit retain its
keeping quality. He said it would be
impossible for any Board Of Director:
or manager to place future crops Of
apples on the market early in the
season without sacrificing price ant
that the buyers must know that they
cannot get all of their money for theil
apples early in the season but that tn,
selling period will extend into mid
summer. He suggested that the sew
eral box apple sections of the North
west have an uniform rule of GRADING
and the naming of the several grades
Then he said a buyer, figuring Of
apples from the different sections
would know just exactly what "extr
fancy" and fancy" meant. H
strongly urged the growers not t
crowd into their fancy grade frui
apples which had blemishes. He ais
advised the use of heavier boxes 70

ALLEGED F0RGER
TAKEN TO THE DALLES

G. II. Allen, who after his wife had
attempted to commit suicide here at
her home on Wilson street, on the
Heights, last week by saturating a
towel with chloroform and wrapping it
about her face, was apprehended at
Arlington, was bound over to the cir
cult court and taken ia The Dales for
imprisonment to await the next con
venng of the court. After having, it
is alleged, forged check here, Allen
left for Lyle. Wash, deserting his girl
wife, a woman of about % years of
age. Despondent because of the de-
sertion and the disgrace the young
woman took the drug but was discov-
cred before it had fatal effect.
Allen was apprehended through the
efforts of City Marshal Robert T.
Lewis and Sheriff Thomas F. Johnson
Sheriff johnson escorted him to The
Dalles Monday.
The people who come to see the bios
SONS are copng for that purpose

automobile ride for they can buy that

ride lasting over two hours, and mere
haste to make the trip will fail to inn
press them in any way we wish. 1t
| is suggested that automobiles try and
| keep at least a quarter of mile apart
to rid your passengers of the dust. If
every fellow tries to give every other
fellow the dust, the speedway record
at Indianapolis last year might be
! exceeded. However, we have prom
ised our visitors pleasure trip. not a
road race, and it is hoped that the
drivers will help US to realize it. Time
of leaving and return will be kept of
all cars. Passengers will buy tickets
at the booth at the depot; drivers take
these up and cash in after the festival
is over.
