COUNTERFEITING ROGUE RIVER APPLE BRANDS
Correspondent From Portland Tells dngS that Willamette Valley
Apples are Being Shipped Under Rogue River Label

That unscrupulous and dishonest
shippers of apples from the William
ette Valley and other less successful
apple-raising sections are trying to
sell their inferior apples under the
Rogue River Valley brand and at the
same time undermine the value of
that brand thereby has long been
suspected, and has been fully proven
by the following communication re-
ceived by the Tidings:
Airlie, Ore, Nov. rs, 1918.
Editor Ashland Tidings, Ashland,
Ore.
Dear Sir: My work for the South
ern Pacific Railway Company takes
me to nearly all points on their lines
in Oregon, and while at jefferson,
Ore, on the 18th instant l went into
warehouse near the depot where
| they were hauling and delivering APP
pies to be shipped, and one lot of
nearly 1000 boxes were labeled
Rogue River Valley Apples" and
| they were still putting on more la
| bells. ! told the young man to be
careful to only label good apples as
Rogue River Valley apples. He
! laughed and said if they were poor
apples the Rogue River Valley would
catch HI. Then | went to one of
! the men unloading the apples from
/ his wagon and asked him why he
! hauled his apples all the way from
the Rogue River Valley to ship in
stead of shipping them from there.
He made no reply. He was not
guilty. 1t was the apple buyer who
was misbranding the apples.
/ would suggest to the apple rails
ers of the Rogue River Valley that
they keep man down in this valley
| (Willamette) to oversee the grading
and packing if they are going to
maintain the good name and reputa-
ton of the Rogue River apples.
Yours truly,
w. f. WOODEN,
No. East Gath Street
Portland. Ore.
The pure food laws of Oregon are
very strict about the misbranding of
foodstuffs. IL is illegal to sell a
pound of butter without the true
name of the maker appearing there
on. 1t would seem that the same
rules would with justice apply to
such misbranding of apples, and If
so it is certainly the duty of the state
health department to take action in
the matter to the end of prosecuting
the shippers referred to.
The United States government is
also drawing lines very strict, even
objecting to the shipment of apples
as Spitzenberg apples because not the
original name of the variety. 1t
would logically seem, then, that it is
up to that department also to stop
this misbranding of fruit If for inter-
state shipment.
One effectual way to stop this
piracy would be to have the name
Rogue River Valley Apples regis
tered as a trademark for the use of
the valley and prosecute any in
fringements on it. Certainly some

Gov WEST AND PARTY COUNTY OFFICERS AND KEDFORD MEN The
GUESTS OF ASHLAND COMMERCIAL CLUB

About fifty people sat down to
lunch in the Hotel Oregon Friday
preparatory to going to the foot of
the mountains to break ground for
the Pacific Highway. 1t was expect
ed to seat the entire party at one
table, leaving other tables for tran
sients, but the number exceeded the
expectations, many more coming
from down the valley than was an
ticipated. There was little formality
about the affair and no speaking as
the time was too limited. The
luncheon did credit to the excellent
cuisine of the Hotel Oregon and
proved the high ability of Mrs. Con-
nor as a caterer. The menu was as
follows:
Clam Chowder.
Olives. Celery.
Potato Salad.
Roast Duck with Baked Apples.

Lexington people cannot afford to
lie supinely down and dream of, the
great achievements they are going
to accomplish in the hazy future while
the golden moments are feeting by
bearing away with them opportunities
which are knocking at our doors today.
The spirit of the times, as well as our
own interest calls to US to be up and
doing something in this age Of freuzied
commereialism if we expect to win
out in life's great battle for existence.
We could mention many industrial
enter 1prises with inviting and attrac-
tive propositions that would strongly
appeal to the sagacity Of the capital
lists, and which il properly and judici-
ously managed, would pave the way
to fortune, Just at this time. how
ever, we want to emphasize the claims
of one of them in particular, and that
is cotton seed oil mill.
One of these mills has for years
been in successful operation in several
towns around us, and they have, so we
haye been informed, paid handsome
dividends on the capital invested. Not
one of them has failed within our
recollection. and stands to reason that
what others have done Lexingsoniuns
can accomplish.
There is a large amount of cotton
grown around Lexington and enough
seed to supply the mill running at its
utmost capacity is within easy access.
Besides this such mill located at
Lexington would be- Of great conve-
nience to the farmers who want to ex-
change their seed for meal. Thus they
can save freight charges which every
one knows who has had any dealings
with the railroads, is big item.
We throw out these suggestions in
the hope that some one who is fnan-
cially able will take up the matter.
and push it to successful conclusion.
