opacity Daily Shipments Average
Ten Car Loads

Never have so any apples been stored
in the local warehouses and storage
rooms of the Apple Growers Associa-
tion as at the present time. At the
Union, Davidson and National plants
at the present time are stored approxi-
mately 2S0, 900 boxes of apples. Great
tiers Of boxes are seen on every hand,
and yet the storage plants are not filed
to their capacity Rea Babson, one of
inspectors at the Davidson warehouse,
estimates that about so, 900 boxes re-
main in the hands of the growers. A
few wagons arrive at the local plants
each day and add to the already large
quantity of fruit.
About 10 carloads of fruit are being
shipped each day.
All of the poorer grades of apples
and the varieties that will keep for
short time only will be worked off as
rapidly as possible. The good keepers
and high grade fruit will be kept in
storage as long as possible. BY follow
ing this process, market men look for a
good market and good price for the
best apples the latter part of the sea-
son next year. The poor apple crop of
the east is fast being cleaned up,
according to reports Of those who fol-
low the market conditions.

JOE ALECk, AGED
INDIAN, SUCCUMBS

Joe Aleck, one of the most honored
and respected Indians in the Mid-Co-
lumbia district, succumbed at his home
in the Indian village east of the city
last Friday night after suffering for
many years from rheumatism. The
Indians say that Joe Aleck had reached
the age of 100 years. However, pio-
neer residents do not think he was past
85. The bent figure of the old man
with his long hair and creased. parch-
ment like countenance, was familiar
sight on the streets of the city up un-
til several months ago, when he be-
came so feeble that it was difficult for
him to get to the city.
Joe Aleck, before the O.-W. R. & N.
Co. line was constructed, carried the
mail between Hood River and White
Salmon for many years. He was faith
full in his duties and many times en-
dangered his life in crossing the CO.
lumbia, when it was impossible to make
the journey by boat. The old Indian
would don long skis and would often
Jump from one moving ice foe to an
other, in order to get the mail to its
destination on time. The early mer-
chants always found him scrupulously
honest.
As soon as the news of Joe Aleck s
death was heard by the Indians living
in neighboring cities, Red Men began
to hurry to the local village to pay
their last tribute to the old fellow. AS
many as so mourners assembled and
tribal rites and customs were observed.
Martha, Joe Alexis surviving widow,
dignified and aristocratic looking ole
woman, we'll known to Hood River peo'
pie, observed the old time customs anc
presented the mourners with gifts OF
money and priced articles.
On Monday morning funeral masi
was said over the remains at the loca
Catholic church by Father Thomas. A
number of the white friends assembled
with the Indians to pay their last re
spects before the remains we're interret
with its presents of Wampum in th'
Indian burying ground. 1t was an in
teresting funeral cortege. The lDdiai
| mourners lourneyed to the church ol
| horseback and in their mountain wag
ons, entering the church with pc
culiar awe and reverence. Joe Aleck
as were many of the other Indians O
the vicinity, was converted to th
Catholic faith in pioneer days by
frontier mission priest.
Joe Aleck had many friends in Hoo
River, and the sentence, He was
good Indian" was often heard repeat
ed, when news of his death was heart

Annie Edney is said to have
screamed herself into a job once upon
a time in dear old Lunnon town.
She was looking for a position with
a theatrical company, so the story
goes. A consultation with the man
ager indicated that she would have
to scream in the part assigned to
her.
She allowed that she could
scream to order in first-class fashion.
So a short synopsis of the play was
given to her. Her husband was sup
posed to have dropped dead. She,
seeing the figure of her loved one at
her feet, then was to give cry which
would send shivers over the audi
ence.
Miss Edney walked to the stage
door, turned, and gave the requisite
which drew stage hands, po-
lice and people off the street to dis
cover what was the matter.
She got the job!
Now Miss Edney is a member of
the Essanay moVing-picture COM
pany.

BIG DEVELOPMENT
SUPERBLY PLANNED
Modern Ideas Adopted IN
Laying Out Great Neck
Estates.
WELFARE OF COLONY
FOREVER PROTECTED
Accomplished by Incorporating
Entire Tract Into a Sepa.
rate Village.

A chronological study Of the events
which have contributed to mske the pres.
ent village Of Great Neck Estates on. OF
the most successful residential colon,..
among the high class suburbs OF New
York shows what great expenditure OF
time and money the reputable developer
will assume in order to provide a beaur-
full. healthful and consen!al suburbas
community.
Great Neck Estates was originally a..
sembled by the Mcknight Realty Com.
pany in 1905, In which year seven separate
parcels of farm land were purchased,
comprising the present tract OF 40 acres,
extending from its half mile OF water
frontage on Little Neck Bay up through
a section Of rich. rolling woodland 10
two stations ~ the Long Island Railroad.
The largest single purchase was that OF
the historic Duryea homestead. where. {,
is said, Major Duryea was captured dur
ing the Revolutionary War. Additional
interest is added to this bit OF history by
the fact that many peculiar looking bul
lets have been taken from trees being
sawed into lumber in the last few years.
indicating that this must certainly have
been the scene OF fighting, perhaps during
one OF our great Long Island battles
The tract once assembled under a single
ownership. the next step was 10 provide
such restrictions as would protect forever
the interests Of the community. at tho
same time permitting OF its rapid and es-
fectiye development. This was accom-
plished by incorporating the entire tract,
of something like a square mile, into
separate and distinct village. The State
Of New York, in April. 1911. granted tho
necessary charter which created the VII
lage Of Great Neck Estates and placed
it's local affairs outside the Jurisdiction OF
the town OF North Hampstead. Of which
it had up to that time been a part.
AS result of this incorporation Great
Neck became virtually taxless village,
all improvements on the property Itself
being paid for by the developers, while
the cost Of any improvements authorized
by the town Of North Hampstead can no
longer be assessed on any property with
in the estates. The only taxes 10 be paid
are general town, county and state.
Having thus conserved the rights OF its
residents against any possible encroach-
ment, as wei against any unforeseen
assessment, the developers proceeded 10
lay out the entire 40 acres along pleasing
and practical lines. The country's lead
ing landscape architects were consulted
and the prize Of $1,000, which had been
offered for the best layout. was captured
In a competitive contest by the well
known architect, Robert Anderson Pope,
who. besides following his own adaptions
of certain famous old English country es-
tates. incorporated into his plans many OK
the best ideas that were found In the
plans Of the five other architects who
had competed for the prize.

Will enter into the construction In any
part o. the building. There will be nine
elevators, some with lifting capacity OF
three or four tons apiece. Great pains
have been taken to make the building
comply in every respect with the re-
qu,rements Of the new state factory law,
as we'll as the restrictions OF the New
York Board OF Fire Underwriters. the
Labor Bureau. and others.
Tie proximity Of the new postoffice. the
Pennsylvania station, the Seventh av.
subway, as we'll as the new West Side
docks renders this district especially de-
sirable for printers and publishers.
The property consists OF eleven parcels
formerly owned by as many Individual
owners. 1t was secured only after nego-
tfatlons which extended over the course
Of eleven months. The late Thomas h.
Ellison represented the owners OF the
property, and n. Brigham Hall and Will
lam d. Bloodgood represented the 40S
West Thirty-hrst Street Corporation. The
difficulties Of assembling a plot OF this
size were increased In this instance be-
cause Of the fact that a great many OF
the properties were held by the direct
descendants OF tho owners Of one hun
dred years ago.
