CONTROL OF FRUIT
BUSINESS IS SCENTED
From Spokane ChronieIe)

The northwest's commercial apple
crop Of approximately 1900 cars this
season was split among the North Pa
cihc Fruit Distributors, the purely CO.
operative organization representing
over 5000 growers; the Northwestern
Fruit Exchange, a purely private cor
poration, and several other private or
semi. private concerns.
This year the North Pacific Fruit
Distributors, with headquarters in Spo.
kane, controlled about 40 per cent of
the tonnage. Whether the cooperative
business is to be increased or lessened
next season depends largely upon the
success of the Northwestern Friut Ex-
change, it is believed in the attempt
to gain permanent control of the fruit
industry of the Pacific northwest.
Backed by the North American Fruit
exchange, behind which is the United
Fruit company, the Northwestern Fruit
Exchange is in position to dominate
the apple industry if sufficient tonnage
can be pledged. In every manner nos
sible the Exchange has heen seeking to
make a favorable showing in its re-
turns to growers this year. Realizing
the dissatisfaction which prevails on
account OF price failures, the organiza-
ton Is SAID to be conducting an ag-
gressive campaign to strengthen its
position. Recently the headauarters
were moved from Portland to Seattle.
That the organization has far reach
ing plans to gain permanent control
OF the industry as far as possible is
sald to be Indicated by an announce
ment received in Spokane recently of
the organization of the Orchard and
Investment Company, incorporated by
officers of the Northwestern Fruit
Exchange and prominent fruit shin
pers of the nation. Its purpose is
to buy orchard lands and il is believed
that extensive purchases are to be
made in the Pacific northwest in order
to insure apple tonnage.
lhe new corporation will seek espec-
lally to buy properties which present
owners are unable to hold because of
financial difficulties. according 10
statement issued under the cumpany's
name. Extracts from this announce
ment are:
There are valuable fruit properties
Just coming into full bearing which are
IN such financial condition that all or
part must be sold at any cash price
that can be obtained.
Often in experience and lack of
knowled of marketing results in f.
nancial sacrifices even after crop is
secured. Many such properties are
obtalnable at very attractive prices.

1ects their experience and aualifca.

EUGENIC MARRIAGE
LAW Is RETAINED

BY a vote of 3S to 2S the lower house
of the Legislature Tuesday afternoon
defeated the bill introduced by DR.. J.
E. Anderson, of The Dalles, providing
for the repeal of the law requiring a
medical certificate as an additional re-
quisite for the issuance of marriage
license.
DR.. Anderson, author of the measure,
DR.. Smith, of Multnomah, and others
advocated its passage on the grounds
that the law is impossible to enforce
and that it does not produce the desired
etfect-that of preventing persons of
communicable diseases from being mar
red.
Representatives Schuehel, Barrow
and Cobb led the opposition to the bill
and urged continuation of the law on
the statutes on the general theory that
it aims to purify marriages and protect
innocent girls and women.
John B. Coffey, county clerk of Multi
nomah county, had urged the Mutno-
nah delegation to vote for the bill in
asmuch as the county is losing revenues
in its marriage license department be-
cause many young men go to Vancou-
yer, Wash. to get their licenses. The
Multnomah delegation, however, was
badly split on the subject.

LOCAL COOPERATION

As one may note from editorial and
news story in this weeks issue Of the
Glacier, every northwestern fruit sec
ton is eagerly seeking some effective
system of cooperation, some plan that
will work out in practice and bring In
results, the organization Of some league
that will eliminate the costly and dis
astrous competition that has cost the
apple grower many dollars the past
year. The evolving Of some such sys-
TEN is not only greatly to be desired.
but it is d necessity.
But there is another rift that should
Ue bridged in the Hood River valley.
Whether the Hood River valley people
are apple growers. hog rasers or stock
ranchers, for the good of all concerned
it is a condition that should not pre-
vail. Too many Hood River people,
not only those in the country, but those
in the city as well, purchase goods
out Of town. We believe that some Of
our citizens do this thoughtlessly; that
if they once had the effect of such a
practice called to their attention they
would quit.
OF course, Hood River merchants
should not be patronized if they are
gouging their patrons. But this is not
a fact. The prices asked by local mer-
chants and the goods they offer in most
every instance compare favorably with
hose of Portland. By buying at home
he purchaser, by actual cash compari-
ION, can do better.
We are proud of Hood River stores.
But just as surely as the northwestern |
Ipple districts must form some effect
We method of cooperation just so sure
y must the Hood River valley people |
upport their local merchants if they
Xpect their community to build up and /
move forward progressively.
There should be a spirit of reciprocity
nd cooperation between rancher and
usiness man. We need this in Hood
liver.

culsted and Insrgined in the purchas-
ing Of properties. The ability of the
management because Of large expert
encs, to cope successfully with the
difficulties incidental to the business
may be considered one Of the COM
psny's strongest features.
Named among the directors OF the
Orchard & Investment Company, the
authorized capitalization of which is
81, 900, 900, are Reginald II. Parsons, of
Seattle, president of the Northwestern
Fruit Exchange. and owner of large
orchards at MedfUrd, Ore. c. c. Buck
man, Of Baltimore, Md, manager of
United Fruit company: A. U. CLANCY,
Of New York city, general manager of
American Cranberry exchange; Ches-
ter A. Congdon, Of Duluth, Minn.,
owner Of large orchard tracts in North
Yakima, Wash. John NJ. Doan, of
Providence, X. l., owner of large
groves at Fort Meyers, Fla; William
Newsome, of Boston, director of
United Fruit company and vice presi-
dent of Fruit Dispatch company, the
sales department of the United Fruit
company, and A. X. Rule, of New
York city, vice president of North

or COW business will conclude that it IS
a good step TO take.
We are not making any attempt to
decry the apple business. The north
west, however. has gone about the
matter in q too headlong manner, and
a halt has already been called. The
squeeze will cinch many in some dis
triets and some 10 all districts. but the
district thoroughly adapted to apple
culture will come back with vim. 1t is
really not a bad time TO plant apple
orchards in tried and proven cOmmuni-
ties.
Yet any community is better off II
its eggs are not all IN one basket. The
cotton growers are realizing this today
TO their sorrow. Hood River can gain
greater all-the-year-round prosperity
by limited diversifying.

A DISH OF SNAILS.
They Have a Flavor Wholly Different
From Any Other Food.

They Have a Flavor Wholly Different
From Any Other Food.
1t is a mistake to think that snails
are eaten only by the French. They
nave been known and used to GER
tain extent by the English ever since
the days when snails boiled in milk
were esteemed remedy for cOnsump-
tion, and it has been said that GER
tain breed OF snail now found In Sur
rey, England, was imported by one Of
the earls of Arundel for use Of his
failing wife.
One Of the recipes for cooking snails
is indicated by the verse of Edmund
Spenser, which runs:
With our sharp weapons we shal thee
fray.
And take the cas- till that thou Hest in.
We shal thee fay out Of thy foule skin,
And in dish. with onyons and peper,
We shal thee dresse with strong vyne-
gare
II you have never eaten snails, and
the majority Of persons who will read
this have not, it is difficult to compre
bend what the snail tastes like. 1t is
difficult, If not impossible, to describe
flavor or a scent without comparison
to something already known by the
person to whom one would transmit
the information. and 1t is said by an
authority on snails that they have an
original kind Of flavor, not in the least
like anything else. TO be at his best
the snail should be young and in
vigorous and robust health. If improp-
erly cooked he will be tough; If prop.
erly cooked he will be tender.
Snail culture in France is profitable
A single snail can produce sixty little
snails in a season. but birds like them,
frost kills them and some may run, or
crawl, away. A French Newspaper re-
Gently published the Information that
half million first quality" snails,
the price of which averages about $1.40
per thousand. can be produced on an
acre Of land. 1t is necessary to feed
them only once day, but they have
good appetltes, especially after rain,
for cabbage and other green vege
tables, Washington Star.
