FIRST PUBLICITY
OF HOOD RIVER

The community of Hood River re-
ceived its first foreign publicity in the
way of magazine article in Novem-
her of 1887 when a story, entitled ''The
Hood River Valley" appeared in the
development of the Pacific Northwest.
The publicity resulted from campaign
began by Geo. T. Prather, who now
owns a copy of one of the early maya
zines.
"The West Shore" for November,
1887, is full of interest not only for
present day resident of Hood River,
but for those of most any Oregon COM
munity. The pages, now yellow with
age, are covered with many wood cut
Illustrations. Ii was before the day of

tions are the following: general
view of Hood River, from the o. r. &
N. tracks; street scene, showing
early business houses, that of j. H.
Middleton and E. l.. Smith, on Oak
street a view of the residence of e. l..
Smith; the residence of DR.. c. +.

E. L. Smith, dealer in general mer-
chandise, carries an advertisement in
the publication. John II. Middleton
carries a similar display of copy. MIR.
Middleton, who now resides in Port.
land, is a brother of Mrs. G. r. Bone.
The article appearing in ''The West
Shore" IS as follows:
1t is genrally conceded, by those
whose travels render their opinions val
liable, that the mountains of the Pacific
coast, from Alaska to Mexico, do not
hold in their embrace more beautiful.

SKINNER WILL EDIT
FRUIT PUBLICATION

J. G. Skinner, who until recently
was local manager Of the Northwest.
ern Fruit Exchange IN this city, has
Distributor, Portland publication de-
voted not only to the problems of the
fruit grower as a grower but to the
larger and more perplexing field of
marketing. A. p. Bateham. who is
also we'll known in this city, will be.
come general manager of the Fruit and
Produce Distributor, the former edi.
toria staff of which was as follows:
c. E. Whistler, managing editor; G. n.
Greisen, general manager: and w. s.
Nicholson, editor in charge. While the
country has had numerous market pub
lications studying problems apparently
on behalf of the market men, the Fruit
and Produce Distributor has taken up
the work of making investigations that
will be of vital interest to growers.
For the past five years MIR. Skinner
has been engaged In tasks that will fit
him admirably for his new position.
For several years he was secretary OF
the Hood River Commercial club and
engaged in publicity work that not
only brought him in touch with the
business of the apple growers them
selves but with the methods of eastern
marketing concerns. While secretary
of the local commercial organization,
Mr.. Skinner made tour Of the east,
presenting TO the public the wonderful
product of the Hood River Valley. He
was later connected with the Davidson
Fruit Co.. until the consolidation of
the local selling agencies. one of the
valleys chief selling machines. and
while thus connected made eastern
tours of investigation. His work with
the Northwestern Fruit Exchange has
given him an opportunity to study
trade conditions.
Mr.. Bateham, too, is one of the best
versed of Northwestern fruit men.
He was born on fruit farm in Ohio,
and has been in the business all his
life, having had large holdings here
and in the Mosier district. He has
been vice-president of the Northwest
ern Fruit Exchange, and for many
years has been chief judge at numer-
GUS northwestern apple fairs. His es-
Inmates of apple crops for number
of years have been very accurate.
Both Mr.. Bateham and Mr.. Skinner,
il is stated, will sever their connec-
tions with selling agencies, Mr.. Bate
ham having resigned from the North
western Fruit Exchange vice-presidsn-
cy, and devote all of their efforts to
the Fruit and Produce Distributor.

HOOD RIVER
PRICES BEST
AVERAGE LEADS THE DISTRIBUTORS
Results Of Association Marketing Due to
Close Cooperation, Among Other
Reasons Dividend Declared

On account Of preferential differ
ences, Taccording TO Manager A. w.
Stone, the Apple Growers Associations
prices for apples the past few months
have far surpassed on an average any
other northwestern district having
agencies affiliated with the North Pa
cific Fruit Distributors, "A number Of
conditions prevail that may account for
Hood Rivers good results" says Mr..
Stone. I'VE are better organized here,
having in our association a greater per
centage of the growers than in any
other district. We have advertised our
apples as those grown in the Hood Riv-
er district, and have presented them to
the public as commodity distinct from
the fruit of any other district. Then
we have been able to put our apples on
the market in the best of condition, on
account of excellent storage houses and
system Of preceding.
"This is test year in marketing ap.
Piles. On year when fruit is scarce
there is such demand that poor quail
ity product may take the place of the
best quality. This year apples have
been selling on their merit.
Another thing that will work to the
benefit Of Hood River is the advantage
that will be derived from eastern and
European shipments by way of the
Panama canal.
"These facts, think, should cause
the growers OF the Hood River Valley
to face the future very optimistically.
The Association is shipping out be-
tween FIVE and ten carloads Of apples
daily.
II is difficult to make any predictions
ss TO the market after the holidays.
I'VE can only wait to see how the mar
ket will clear up" says Mr.. Stone.
while a great deal OF fruit is still
held in-storage, we look for steady
movement of fruit.
On Tuesday the board of directors of
the Apple Growers Union declared a
dividend of seven per cent on Union
stock, payable January ]. The stock
of the Union now issued is between
S45, 900 and $500

ANTHRACITE COAL
Is COMING HERE

Hood River people will have an op.
portunity of burning their first Anthra-
cite coal about the middle of this month
when the Transfer 4 Livery Co. will
receive shipment of the hard fuel by
river boat line from Portland. A cargo
Of the coal will be received about jan
uary 10 by the Independent Coal 4 Ice
Co. of Portland by way of the Panama
canal.
James L. Duffy sales manager of the
Portland company was in the city max
ing arrangements with the transfer &
Livery Co. for a local distribution of
the coal.
Heretofore we have been forced to
sell the hard eastern coal for about $50
ton, said Mr.. Duffy. "But even at
that figure we are able to do fair
business with former eastern people.
By shipping by the Panama canal. we
have been able to save from four to
five dollars ton. And next year we
expect to add as much as two dollars
per ton from that saving.
1--WE will secure a rate by river boats
or barges. and we expect to distribute
the hard coal throughout the Inland
Empire at prices that compare favor
ably with that at which the western
Goals are now sold.

 OPENS WITH BIG ATTENDANCE

The Sutton State High School opened Monday morning, September, 2l, with a larger attendance than ever before. Although there are many to come in later, there shall no doubt be two hundred pupils enrolled with in a few days.
 A short time was given for talks of the patrons of the school and others some of which were quite interesting, especially the one made by Rev. Rich ard Bright of Clyde, Texas. He spoke mainly of the necessity of the moral development in education. After this, Princial C. M. Hirst spoke concern ing the great improvement that has been made, during the last few years in the school.
 Sutton is alive with pupils from diff ferent parts of the state who have come to attend school. Everything points toward the most prosperous term that we have had, and every citizen of the little town and com munity is proud of the school, which is no doubt one of the best of it's kind in Southwest Arkansas.

Ohm BULL AT HIS BEST

Great Britain never gave the United States a more d>ting ushed
proof OF Goodwill than in the transfer OF its representative in Mex
leo Sir Lionel Garden, to Brazil. This gentleman has been the Brit

Failure to accomplish the same result at Washington has brought the
whole conspiracy to confusion.
1t is a pleasing reflection, however. that in this eac goodwill t.

respect. The minister who has lost his post has not represented the
empire. He ha, represented oil. He has not spoken for the British
people He has spoken for Lord Cowdray, at the head Of the Pear
son syndicate, to whom and t. Lord Murray OF Flhank, he owed his
place.
In Henry Lane Wilson, the hold-ovcr American ambassador, this
minister found a kindred spirit in intrigue and in hostility to the new
administration at Washington. The Brion has not been more eager
to hold up the red hands OF IIucra than was the American. The u

tests during our second occupation Of Cuba (19N(9) that he was re-

his appearance in Mc>co he hm, exhibited the same scrviHty to pi-
vte interests that cost him his post in Cuba. BY his defense OF tyA
ranny aud his vehement criticism Of President Wilson he has added
greatly to the difficulties Of the -iuaion
1t is said Of course, that Sir Ii'neIs removal is not due to official
dsfavor, but it will have to be admitted that it comes at IN oppor-

accepted a a fitting rcluhc to an agent of Big Business who had noth-
ing but praise for 4 regime botomcd upon murder and nothing but
and order, and it takes from the Mexcan capital an international
trouble maker Of the first order.
Retaining elsewhere the services OF such a minister, the British
foreign office may naturally ease his fall and save its own face, but
the presumption must be that the change of mcn at the City OF Mex
ice means also L change of measures. The new British minister is
likely to speak for Great Britain, and not first of all for the onces

their explorations are not to be continued.
