ORDINANCE WILL
GOVERN SPRAYING

After next Monday. when the city
council will pass an ordinance to
govern spraying of fruit trees and
shrubs, Hood River will probably be
the only city in the state or tie
country with municipal provisions for
the spraying or trees. The ordinance
was ordered prepared at the Monday
evening meeting of the council. 1t
will probably be drawn along lines
similar to ordinances providing for
the improvement Of streets. One man
will probably do all the spraying, the
contract for which will be let to the
lowest bidder. The ordinance will
have an emergency clause attached
and will be effective Immediately on
passage.
Fruit Inspector W. II. Lawrence
says that San Jose Scale is about the
only pest in the city that will need
attention. He advises two applica.
tions of lime and sulphur, not weaker
than one part of lime and sulphur to
nine parts of water. The applications
should be made while the buds are
dormant and the last application should
not be made after the buds have
opened.
The spraying will be under the sup
ervision of the fruit inspector or the
city marshal.

YAKIMA MGR. GIVES
IDEAS ON SELLING

In answer to a letter written him by
Truman Butler, chairman of the com.
mittee appointed to make an nvestiga-
tlon leading to selling methods between
the northwestern fruit districts, j. II.
Robbins. manager Of the Yakima Val
ley Fruit Growers Association states
that he is opposed to any method
which approaches that proposed by the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange. Given
below are the pertinent paragraphs of
MIR. Robbins letter:
I'VE are undlterably opposed to the
consideration of any Central Selling
Agency plan that contemplates the
uniting of cooperative OF non-profit
interest with that of private or profit
making interest. They are like oil and
water, and will not mix.
This character of organization was
several times tried out among the
orange growers Of California and was
finally abandoned fer the expressed
reason that they were diametricaly
opposed to each other and could not
work in harmony.
II is our belief that a Central plan
should be wholly private or wholly CO.
operative. We do not believe that the
Fruit Growers interests of the North
west will ever be best served through
the building up in their midst of
great private marketing agency far
better we think to build a strong CO.
operative OF non-protit organization
whose whole machinery power and
influence will be continually exerted in
their behalf.
we shall at all times be glad to
cooperate with the other fruit districts
of the Northwest in everything tending
for their mutual good. y

The big East Fork Irrigating Co.
which operates the biggest ditch in
the county and supplies water to an
proXimately the whole Of the East
Side of the Valley. has bad the distinc-
tlon of having two sets of directors,
since the election held here February
10, when the following board was
chosen: J L. Ferguson, J. II. Day.
K. u. Waugh, NJ. Pendergast, Al. ".
Peters, NJ. Hawthorne and Peter
Mohr. The meeting at which the
directors were elected was an adjourn
ed meeting of the regularly called
stockholders meeting of three weeks
before. However. at this meeting, an
insufficient amount of the stock was
represented to constitute quorum and
those present decided to adjourn the
meeting until later date in order TO
conduct business. However, il has
since been learned that by the by laws
OF the organization this adjourned
meeting, without quorum of stock
represented, could not be legally held
and therefore the new board was not
legally elected
Thus the old board holds over. but in
order to install the new directors,
members of the old board will resign
from time to time and their vacancies
will be filled by appointments of men
elected on the new board, the election
OF whom was declared invalid The
old board is composed of the following
men: ?. $. Davidson, j. G. Porter

The ditch company has secured
great many new contracts for water
and is counting on one of the most
prosperous years of its history.

DANCE OF SHRINERS
MERRIEST OF YEAR

No merrier event has ever been par-
ticipated in in Hood River than the
dance OF the Hood River Mystic Shrin-
ers given at the Heilbronner hall
Friday evening. Every fieeting mo-
ment was filled with pleasure from the
time the Vogel orchestra. augmented by
additional pieces from Portland, played
the grand march. when the Shriners
appeared in their Fezes, until the
strains of Home Sweet Home"
brought the dance to close. Shrine
emblems hung from the tapestries of
the room and the front page of the
handsome program bore the impression
OF the Scimitar and Crescent as did the
napkin that was given to each guest,
when the dainty luncheon was being
served at the tables arranged to form
huge crescent One of the features
of the program was that every dance
bore an Arabic name.
Between the dances the guests of
the Shriners did not lack for entertain
ment. A few ''All the Same Gridiron
Club" stunts were given Dy the more
lovial members of the mystic order.

THIRD TERM POLICY
FINDS OPPOSITION

That the policy of permitting the
third term policy for any president is
contrary to all precedents of the past
history of the country and contrary to
the unwritten law, is the declaration
of W. b. Aver, chairman of the Taft
Club of Multnomah county. MIR. Aver,
who regards it as a patriotic duty to
combat the third term policy, points to
the following facts of American his
tory as warrants for a calling on the
citizenship for opposing the third
term:
The house of Representatives in re-
ply to Washington farewell address
made this striking declaration: For
our country's sake, for the sake OF
Republican liberty, It is our earnest
wish that your example may be the
guide of your successors, and this after
being the ornament and safeguard of
the present age become the patrimony
of our descendants.
Jefferson followed the example of
Washington. Many times he put on
record his approval of the limitation.
friend Taylor: General Washington
set the example of voluntary retire
ment after eight years. | shall follow
it. And few more precedents will
oppose the obstacle of habit to anyone
after a while who shall endeavor to
extend his term.
Again. on June 7, 1907. he wrote to
Mr.. Weaver: If some period be not
fixed, either by the Constitution or by
practice, to the services of the First
Magistrate, his Office, though nomin-
ally elective, will, in fact, be for life,
and that will soon degenerate into an
inheritance.
Perhaps the most striking utterance
is the following which is found in the
Kansas Republican Platform of 1874:
The unwritten law enacted by the ex-
ample by the father of his country in
declining a reelection to third term
is as controlling as though il were
Incorporated in the National Constitu-
tion and ought to never be violated.
The House of Representatives passed
the following resolution on December
Is, 1875, by vote of 233 to lS: Re-
solved: That, in the opinion of this
House, the precedent established by
Washington and other presidents of the
United States in retiring from the
presidential office after their second

be unwise, unpatriotie. and fraught
with peril TO our free Institutions.

PROFITS

No action on the part Of a major
baseball manager is calculated to draw
more severe adverse criticism than al
him make good with some other team.

period in which rival league has

Is the National League today at the
expense Of the American.
During war times and for a time fol-
lowing that crisis in the sport. the older
organization held itself aloft by con-
tending that the class of playing in Ban

senior rival that II was useless to at
tempt to get results from men who

The loss of couple of worlds series

drawing pay, and the majority are doing
excellent work among the clubs which
are bounded together under the general
charge of Tom Lynch.

MARYLAND TO SEND
MANY ATHLETES TO
c. v. TRACK MEET
Should Score Many Points
Toward Winning Gen.
eral Trophy.

The University of Maryland will have
entered in the George Washington meet
OF Saturday night By far the largest
squad that they have ever sent to this
city. Besides a relay to run against
Maryland Agricultural, they will have
men in practically all the events, and
while the school has been actively en-
gagged in track athletics such short
time, they should still make quite few
points toward the general trophy.
They will have but one man, Stern,
In the flfty-yard novice, but in the open
fifty they will have entered Grinwalds,
Ross, Timanus, Fritz, and Donald Ell
lott, the manager Of their team.
Grinwalds and TImanus are also en-
tered in the tifty-yard hurdles, and
from reports that have come over about
them they may .'pring a surprise. They
are sending over a good distance man
in FreischlaG, who will run in the 1000
yard open, and two novices Thrift and
Brasshears. who will run in the GOO
yard novice event. Brasshears is also
entered in the mile, as Is a more ex-
perienCed man in Him, who has made
good time in some Of the Baltimore
distance events.
Elliott and Grin Halds, who are en-
tered in the dashes, will also be seen
in the 440, and another good quarter
miller in Ross will represent the Balti-
more institution in that event. In the
$50 they will have but one man. Thrift,
a novice, and as he will run against
such men as Cooke and Harris Of Vir-
ginia, and Fleming, of George Washing
ton. il is hard to see how the Mary
land man can add any points there.
Him, their best distance man, is also
entered for the two mile, but he will
have a CLASSY field to contend with
there, with Arquette. of Carlisle; Ell
phinstone, of Baltimore Cross Country,
and BoIac, of the local Cross Country
Club.
They will have several men in the
field events and may grab a few points
there with Timanus, Fritz, and Tullidge
in the high jump, although Cochran,
of Virginia, is said to be a good man
in that event. They will have several
men in the shotput, but Schneider,
whose speciality is that one event. looks
to he the most likely point winner.
They will have two pretty good men
Tapping is particularly good, may get
some points there. Their men are Por-
ter who has won several places in
games in the North, and in MARYLAND
and de QueVedo, who comes from Porto
Rico, and has carried off a number of
trophies in games both on his native
island and in this country.
Altogether for track team, which Is,

and local people will watch their eff
forts with much interest and If the

NEW MOTOR ROUTE
TO BAL IMORE LAID
OUT BY ]. F. MIXER
Automobiles Will Avoid
Bad Road Between Belts
vile and Contee.
BY HARRY WARD.

When the touring season opens Wash
fngton motorists will have a new route
TO Baltimore. 1t has been mapped by
John #. Mixer, one of the official route
blazers OF the automobile bluebook, and
Is designed to overcome the bad stretch
OF road lying between Beltsville and
Contee. The route is via Olney, Sandy
Springs, Ashton, Laurel, Relay. The
distance is about fifty-six miles, and
the road is said to be one of the best
leading out OF Washington.
The new route is expected to prove
popular with motorists travelling to the
Monumental City, particularly as the
so-called Washington Baltimore boule-
ward will be under repair nearly the
entire summer. The stretch between
Beltsville and Contee will be entirely
rebuilt contracts for the work having
been awarded some weeks ago. The
work will commence as soon as the frost
leaves the ground.
Earle & Allen. agents for the Hupp-
Yeats and Il. c. II. cars, received word
today that r. c. Hupp and his asso-
ciates, who were forbidden by court
decree to use the name of Hupp upon
their new motor cars or in the title
name to The r. c. II. Corpora ton"
New articles were filed at Lansing,
Mich.
That 1872 will be featured in the motor
industry by a tremendous growth in
popularity for light delivery vehicles
is fact of which the manufacturers
are rapidly becoming aware. Retail
merchants in many lines appear to have
become suddenly converted to the be-
lief that the horse Is inferior in many
conditions to the light motor car, and
are replacing the "hay-motors" with
the gasolene propelled article. Their
preference is notably for established
makes that have made good in pas
senger service and public competitions.
Especially do they show a leaning to-
ward the light, economical, sturdy typo
which consumes a small amount of sup
! plies and still delivers the goods" The
