TRUMAN BUTLER AT
BY-PRODUCTS MEET

Truman Butler, who was present last
Friday and Saturday at the by-products
meeting of northwestern fruit men held
in Yakima, characterizes the gathering
as one OF the most progressive recently
held in the northwest. According to
Mr.. Butler the meeting was of inesti-
mable benefit to the fruit growers of
North Yakima, since il resulted in an
agreement on the part Of the four big
fresh fruit shipping agencies in that
district to cooperate next year for the
operation of by-products plant, and
for all northwestern fruit districts
since it will emphasize the necessity of
adopting methods for the handling of
the by-products of the orchards.
The meeting of the delegates to the
Yakima meeting was held behind closed
doors, in order that, as one of them ex-
pressed it, they might get down to
brass tacks. A second meeting will be
held in Seattle, Wash, on January %,
when the fresh fruit market problem
and the relations of fresh fruit market
ing and by-products will be discussed.
Those present at the Yakima meeting
in addition to Mr.. Butler were:
H. M. Sloan, president of the Bitter
Root Irrigation company Paul A. Wey-
rauch, manager of the Blalock Fruit
company of Walla Walla; J. L. Hughes
of the Yakima Artificial Ice & Cold
Storage company; w. II. Paulhamus,
president and manager of the Puyallup
and Sumner Fruit growers association !;
ID. A. Snyder, banker and proprietor of
a cannery at Dayton, Wash. M. j.
Higley, manager of the southern Idaho
sub-central of the North Pacific Fruit
Distributors, and G. C. Corbaley, Sec
retary-manager of the Spokane Cham.

candidate for director must not only
be resident of the state but must al
so be bona fide owner of land in the
division which elects him, but he need
not reside in that division, or even in
the district. The voters in each diyi-
sion vote for but one director. A voter
is defined to be any person, male or fe-
male, II years old, whether a resident
of the district or not. who is a bona
tide owner of land in the district. IL
one owns land in two divisions he can
vote in but one.
Nomination for these Offices may be
made by petition of 10 or more voters,
or at an assembly of rs or more elec-
tors, and such petitions or certificates
of nomination by assembly must be
filed with the secretary of the district

voters in division may help to nomin-
ate candidate for director from that
division.

GROWERS GET MORE
THAN A MILLION

Fruit growers in the four northwest
ern states, to December !, his season.
have received in cash from the North
Pacific Fruit Distributors 81, ,l22, III. 36.
according to bulletin issued BY the
central office at Spokane, this week.
This money represents returns from
fruit sales and has been disbursed to
the sub central associations for pay
ment to members.
Regarding the seasons volume of
business, the bulletin says:
The returns disbursed so far are
for approximately two-fifths % the
crop that will be handled by the North
Pacific Fruit Distributors this wear.
but they include peaches and other soft
fruit and the cheaper and earlier varie-
ties OF apples, necessarily comprising
our least valuable tonnage.
Substantially three-fifths of the
crop is either sold and to be collected
for, or is yet to be marketed, and. in
cluding as it does the later varieties of
apples now being sold for higher prices
on rising market, it comprises our
most valuable tonnage.
Last seasons total disbursements
aggregated $3,069, ,953.5l. Notwith-
standing adverse trade conditions, alb
normal in their nature, with which we
have had to contend up to the present
time, it is believed that our total dis
bursements for 1914 will considerably
exceed that figure"

RAVLIN ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER FAIR PROSPECTS

q. N. Ravlin, who returned Mondsy
night from San Francisco, where he
had been sent by the Oregon World 8
Fair Commission to make a study of
the space provided for the state of Or
egon in the horticultural palace and 10
make designs for proposed exhibits, is
very enthusiastic over the possibilities
to be gained not only by the state of
Oregon, but by Hood River.
"Bood River has just about third
of the space devoted to Oregon in the
Palace of Horticulture. The most of
the counties are overlooking the exhib-
its to be made there and are devotinR
their efforts toward preparing exhibits
in the Oregon state building and the
agricultural building. AS will be re-
membered, we decided year ago to
make our largest exhibit in the Palace
of Horticulture, and | had no more
than seen the location of the big struc-
ture and its accessibility than felt
the wisdom of this decision.
''The state of Utah is spending al
most the whole of its appropriation in
the Palace of Horticulture. Washing
ton has already spent about $1,000 in
the preparation Of a booth. Idaho is
going in strong there, mainly with ap-
piles. OF course, the display to be made
by California will overtop everything.
Canada has already shipped 1000 boxes
of apples for display in the Palace of
Horticulture.
1.-The Palace of Horticulture will be
one of the most attractive and access
ible buildings at the exposition. Nat
urally, people will want to see the
horticultural display. for California is
known as horticultural state, and they
Will want to see what she can do on
her own ground. The foreign countries
are planning on interesting hortlcul-
tural displays. And speaking of the
appropriations of foreign countries,
Argentina, alone, has made an appro.
priation of $1,000, 900 for an exhibit at
the San Francisco fair.
"The San Francisco people do not
seem to think that the war will mill
tate extensively against the success of
the fair. The transcontinenal railroads
have already booked over 100, 900 pass
ages, of which about rs per cent will
travel by way of the northwest. This
rate will double when the warmer
weather opens up in the spring.
Many states have appropriated large
sums for handsome buildings, which
will be used mainly for meeting places
and reunions of the people of the re-
spective states"
Mr.. Ravlin says that Hood River
people will be glad to know that 80 per
cent of the red apples being sold in
San Francisco now are Hood River
Spitzenburgs.
They are popular, too, he says.
"Our Spitz are selling for $2.50 a box,
while right beside them California
Newtowns are only bringing 81. The
Palace hotel is making a speciality of
Hood River Spitzenburgs, the fruit be-
ing served in individual cartons for Is
cents each.

These figures were secured from the
valleys apple shipping associations,
the Hood River Produce Exchange and

cars of apples would be materially
swelled If it had been possible TO have

The total number of carloads shipped
IN November was 1862, segregated as
follows: Lumber. 98 carloads; apples.
26l carloads; vegetables, 3 carloads. A
number of growers have shipped guam
titles OF potatoes independently.

BURGLARS GET $50
AT PINE GROVE

Two burglars entered the Pine Grove
store of the Consolidated Mercantile
Co. Saturday night, securing spproxi-
mately $50 in money. The men, who
we're frightened away just as, they
we're concluding their work, one Of
them leaving his coat, entered the
store through screened window in the
meat department. The burglar evil
IDENTIFY was not able to squeeze through
the place cut in the screen with his
coat on, and the garment was removed.
The coat contained picture OF a man
wearing the identical coat left behind,
and strange TO say, the man was hold
ing up his hands in what seemed to be
a mimic hold-up scene.
The burglars we're frightened by Il.
c. Johnson, member Of the Consoli-
dated Mercantile Co., who assists with
the operation of the Pine Grove store,
who. after returning from late Satur-
day night party, had entered the store
room to get something to eat. At his
appearance the burglars made a hasty
exit.
In addition to the money the burglars
looted several cases of cutlery.

PLANS PROPOSE
CENTRAL AGENCY

The following is clipped from the Sc
attle Post Intelligencer. AS will be
noted the discussion Of John p. Hart
man takes the same trend as was evi.
denced last week at Yakima at the By
products committee conference attend
ed by Truman Butler. Mr.. Hartman
will be remembered by Hood River
people because of the rousing good
roads speech delivered here little over
a year ago.
"The central selling agency, handling
fruit for all districts of the northwest,
is the only hope of putting fruit grow
ing in this section of the country on
profitable and stable basis" said John
2. Hartman at the Arctic club yester-
day.

now being put forth to solve the fruit

holdings in the Yakima valley; but the

honest, hard working growers, know

with the situation. Furthermore, | re-
alize that the general prosperity of the
northwest is in no small degree affect
