County Wins in Road Case

The county court was granted fa-
vorable verdict the first of the week by
Judge Bradshaw in the case in which
the. Apple Land & Orchard Co. was
seeking to enjoin the county from pro-
ceeding to lay out road across the
company's property.
Judge Bradshaw ruled that writ Of
review instead of injunction proceed
ings was the proper form Of proceed
ure. In the course of the hearing it
was alleged by Geo. r. Wilbur. the
plaintiffs attorney, that the report of
the county viewers was fraudulent, and
that such matter could not be
brought up by writ of review. How
ever. Judge Bradshaw maintaining his
ruling, responded to the effect that the
viewers should be subjects of investi-
cation if such we're the case.
Judge Derby represented the county.

HOOD RIVER APPLES
BRING OPMONEY

The latest reports show that Hood
River Blue Diamond branded Spitzen-
barg apples top the market in New
York, four carloads selling for So a
box, according to a special dispatch
from New York in Tuesday mornings
eregonian. This price is rs cents
higher than the Spitzenburg and New
town apples that are packed under the
Skookum brand and are bringing so
cents a hox more than the figures at
which the bulk of the extra fancy
grades are selling.
Five hundred boxes of Hood River
Spitenburgs and NewtoSns were in
cluded in the cargo of Oscar ii. They
are now aiding in keeping peace among
Henry Ford's knights of peace. if they
do not have more important part in
the work of attracting the boys from
the trenches.
Just what are the elements that have
caused Hood River apples and those
packed under the Skokum brand to out
sell most of the other apples from the
Northwest is mooted question among
the jobbers of New York:
Arthur Miller, of the firm OF Miller
Cummings. says, ut is not fair to CON-
pare prices simply. Skookum apples
are being held at SITS. but only 400
boxes were sold in one morning.
n. +. Davidson, of Hood River, who
represents the Hood River Apple Grow
ers Association and shippers from other
districts of the Northwest, says, "The
growers of each district should unite
and advertise one brand and then take
effective means to uphold the quality
of the pack that goes from that dis
trict. 1t will be impossible to get the
growers of one district to help adver-
tise the fruit of another"
hardt & Kelly. which buys from the
North Pacific Fruit Distributors and
which is the sole distributor of the
Skookum packs of apples. is inclined
toward the view that great good would
come to the industry if the growers Of
a number of the districts decided upon
catchy brand and advertised it extern
sively.
Each group of shippers from each
district in the northwest now has sep
arate brand. This causes such a confu-
sion of brands that even the wholesale
dealers have difficulty in keeping track
of them. No value can come from ad-
vertising most of these brands as the
amount of advertising necessary to
bring any of them before the public
and to Distinguish it in the minds of the
consumers from the other brands would
cost more than the supply Of fruit
packed under the brand would warrant.
"To form just comparison on the
prices of Skookum brand apples and
those of other brands" says Kenneth
Mckay, of the Friut Growers FIX
change, ''it should be realized that the
Skookum sale comprised l27 carloads.
The sales of 400 boxes should not be
taken as a criterion.

LOCAL SKOOkUM
PRICES GIVEN OUT

The Fruit Growers Exchange an
nounces the results of their participa-
tion in the famous Skookum sale, which
is recorded as one of the largest sales
made this year, and is also considered
one of the most satisfactory.
1.-The only two varieties that we sub
scribe to. and are therefore most inter-
ested in, are Spitzenburgs and New
towns" says Manager Mckay. "Ihe
Spitzenhurg price is Sl.S367, I. o. b.
Hood River, Newtowns, 81. 1867, f. OBJ.
Hood River.
"Some people have an utterly errone-
Gus impression of Skookum, inasmuch
as they imangine all varieties go into
this brand, and are sold at the same
price. This is wrong. The varieties
are pooled according to the quality.
Thence Spitzenburgs this year exceed
such varieties as Jonathans by about so
cents box.
This is where district like Hood
River, that puts out an exclusive quail
ity, gets the highest results.
There was an article in the Oregon
ian last week, wherein the writer
claimed that Skookum Spitzenburgs
were selling in New York at $2.75, the
sum of 25 cents a box higher than
other non-advertised apples This is
indeed creditable to Skookum.
"lhe statement was also made that
the firm who bought the Skookum out
put was therefore making the sum of
$500 per car net. A little close fgur-
ing will throw some light on the SUBJ
ject.
"Steinhardt & Kelly paid for Spitz.
enburgs, 1857, f. o. b. The follow
ing will show just what these apples
cost them delivered in New York:
Price Hood River. $l.8367; freight and
refrigeration, $.606; storage at Elmira,
Sis: storage in transit privilege,
$.0525; total cost to Steinhardt & Kelly
at New York, $2.6l52.
at being a notorious fact that the
same firm lost large sum of money on
a like investment last year, the Hood
River grower will be sincerely glad to
see the reasonable and legitimate, but
by no means large, profit of l0a cents
per box made this year, as buyer can
not keep on losing year by year, and
be expected to keep on buying.
''Steinhardt & Kelly cannot be too
highly complimented by the grower,
for their able, and, we may say, daring
operations, and for their most satisfac-
tory mtehods of transacting business.
which brings the highest results back
to the grower in record time"
