.SPR0AT OPTIMISTIC
OVER APPLE DEAL

81 feel optimistic over the prices that
we will receive from the late sales of
Hood River sales" says c. H. Sproat,
formerly manager of the Apple Grow
ers Union, who has beer here this week
looking after the harvest of his crop in
the Van Horn district. "All indica-
tons point TO a top price for the extra
fancy grade of product" MIR. Sproat,
who during the season of 1912 managed
the National Apple Company, which the
following year sold its storage plant to
the Apple Growers Association, except
to interest himself in the disposal of
his own crop of apples each year, has
retired from the apple deal. During
his management of the Union local ap-
pie prices were soaring, the novlety
and excellence of the perfectly packed
and well cOlored fruit at that time
sweeping the trade of the larger east
ern cities.
All local apple dealers are optimistic.
Not since 1910 has there been so "bulI-
ish" a feeling about the market. As a
usual thing market men have begun at
this season of the year to placate affili-
ated growers by making explanations
OF the conditions that seem bound to
cause poorer returns than vii be war
ranted by prevailing expectations.

GUS MILLER OFF
TO San FRANCISCO

Accompanied by Chas. Yeoman, who
has just returned from the Panama
canal zone, where many years he was
in the employ of the government as a
locomotive engineer, Gus Miller left
last week for San Francisco to attend
the Panama exposition. Mr.. Miller,
who has won the name Of Apple King,
not because of the size of his tract,
bnt because of the excellency of the
fruit produced, he having taken first
award on apples at the: Portland Land
show last year and having sent some
marvellous fruit to the San Francisco
fair, before he left for the south
shipped an exhibit of fruit to Portland
for the Land Show this year.

II my apples win another prize perhaps

Francisco from the proceeds"
Mr.. Yeoman, whose locomotive
pulled the trains that bore the big guns
for the Panama canal fOrtihcations, has
come to Hood River seeking a location.
He declares that he will purchase
local apple orchard and vie with his old
time partner in the production of fancy
fruits.
Mr.. Miller was accompanied by his
wife, who is as enthusiastic over Hood
Rivers fine fruits as her husband.

FINISHING TOUCHES
MADE AT MITCHELL'S

While the Mitchell's Point tunnel and
siaduct Of the Columbia river highwa ay
have been appealing points of the seen
le route since the tunnel was opened
early IN September. the marvellous feats
OF engineering skill have been greatly
enhanehed during the past week by the
completion of finishing touches. Mo-
torists may now travel through the
tunnel at ease. for the sharp edged
rocks left by the contractors as a sur
face have been covered with earth and
sand. The timid may pass over the
ROAD curves, rounding precipitous
points. without a quslm of fear; for
massive cOncrete-tOpped, rubble stone
masonry walls guard the outer edges of
the road.
The base of the windows of the great
tunnel, too. have been spanned by these
heavy walls, each with series of little
arcades at its bottom. The pedestrian
may lean over these parapets, 100 feet
above the Columbia, and watch the
tapping waters of The river directly be-
meath him. From the window nearest
the east entrance of the tunnel little
trail has been built out around the bluff.
None but the more daring ever trav-
eled the bare trail. A protecting wall
has now been built at its outer edge
and any one may walk out on the face
of the great basalt promontory and OBJ
tain the magnificent view of the Co
lumbia' S stretches both to the east and
to the west.
The work of finishing up the Mithells
Point work has been conducted nv the
State Highway Commission.

Monmouth State Normal Notes

Saturday evening was a memorable
one in the social life of the Hood River
girls at the State normal, because that
date marks the first social function of
the newly organized Hood River club.
The club was formed earlier in the
semester, but this was its first formal
meeting. Miss Gertrude Nickelsen and
Miss Ada Hart gave most delightful
party and luncheon in honor of the club
members. Each girl contributed some
excellent bit of news from home, there
by making the evening one of Joyous
good fellowship. as well as serving to
bring the Hood River girls together for
genuine pleasure.

sented last week by Irene Williams.

BENSON FAILS TO
COMPLETE GUARANTY

! While S. Benson, who was instru-
mental in the success Of the Hood River
county bond election last year, when
S5, 600 was voted for Improvement of
laps of the Columbia river highway in
the county, guaranteeing that this sum
would take care of the work to be done,
has advanced $40, 1000 to the county to
pay for excess expenses, his attorney,
f. f. Covert, of Portland, has an.
nounced that no further reimbursement
will be made. However, with the bond
fnnd depleted and the $40, 900 advanced
by Mr.. Benson accounted for, there is
still shortage of between $2, 600 and
S2, 500, according to estimates. The
money is needed to pay for the shifting
of the o. .R. & N. tracks at Lindsay
creek and for the construction of fences
along the highway.
While attorneys consider the guaranty
made by Mr. Benson as legally invalid,
local officials and citizens consider the
good roads philanthropst under a moral
obligation to make good the deficits.

Local Eating Places More Than Dozen

From the number of cafes, restaur.
ants and short order eating places now
IN Hood River, one might Judge that
the people of the Apple Valley did
nothing other than eat. In addition to
two tirst class hotels, both of which
maintain dining rooms not only for
their regular roOmers. but for local
merchants and apple growers who NAV
be in the city on errands, the precise
number of the eating establishments is
an even dozen.
More than half of the new eating
places have come into existence in the
past two months, during the apple har-
vest season. when hundreds of transi-
ent laborers fill the city.
Hood River has about 5000 popula-
tiOn, and the number of fourteen
restaurants and cafes for this number
of residents is probably the record for
the state.

MRS. CASTNER NOW
HEADS FEDERATION

By a vote Of III to 90 Mrs. Chas. n
Castner was elected president of the
State Federation Of Woman's clubs al
the Salem convention last Thursday
The opposing candidate was Miss
Marion Towne, of Phoenix. 1t had
been expected that Mrs. NJ. L. 7. Hid.
den, of Portland, would oppose Mrs.
Csstner. However. Miss TOwne was
advanced as the dark horse at the last
moment.
Misc Mary Beatty. of Salem, was
unanimously elected first vice presi-
dent. Mrs. J. w. Tiff, Of Portland,
won over Mrs. S. NJ. Blumsuer, of
4 Portland, for second vice president. 1t
is understood Mrs Blumauer did not
seek the office, but was nominated by
/ friends. Other officers elected unani-
mOusly were: Mrs. Alexander Thomp-
son, Me Ia,lles, recording secretary
Mrs. Sarah Davis. Portland, treasurer !;
Mrs. +. H. Buchanan, McMinnville,
auditor: Mrs. Vincent Palmer, La
Grande, and Mrs. L. A. Bean, Eugene,
directors.
Mrs. Hidden offered and championed
an amendment providing for the cleo
tion OF the standing committees by the
convention, and declared that it was
intended to prevent the building of a
machine. Mrs. Trumbull retorted by
declaring that the amendment would
be an injustice 10 the presiding officer,
as it would require her to work with
the chairmen of committees not of her
own choosing. Resolutions were intro
duced asking for the enactment of
legislation forbidding the use of base.
ments as jails, and also for the en-
fOlcement Of law prescribing equal
salaries for male and female teachers,
and both were referred to committees
with power to act.
Following discussion during which
several members intimated that slate
making had been INDUCED in during
the convention, the Federation adopted
an amendment to the constitution pro-
viding that no member shall be eligible
to an office for more than two consecu-
tive terms.
Another amendment, providing that
the recording secretary shall be APP
pointed by the president instead of
elected, also provoked considerable dis
cussiOn, but passed with a good major
ity to its credit.
An amendment prescribing that the
standing committees be nominated by
the executive board and elected by the
convention was defeated by an ava.
lanche of votes.

Streets Are Improved

The success of the county officials in
treating main thoroughfares with sand
and clay has led the city street comis-
soner to improve streets that have not
been paved or hardsurfaced with such
material. Railroad avenue and Tenth
street, both of which are frequently
used by orchardists hauling heavy loads
of apples to the cider mill, have been
covered with gravel.
The valley roads treated with the
gravel and clay soon become well beat
en- down, and after several scrapings
their surface becomes as hard and i'm
previous to water as the oilbOund roads
of the community.
