Hood River county has never had
better teachers institute, according to
County School Superintendent Thomp-
son. Every teacher in the county was
present at the annual assembly, the
program of which begun Monday and
closed yesterday.
Two of the most interesting numbers
of the program were the address of
Mrs. L. H. Frazelle. of Multnomsh
county, and Prof. F. L. Griffin. of the
Oregon Agricultural College industrial
club department. The former delivered
an address on the Importance of Par
ent- Teacher Associations. and Prof.

the work done during the past year by
industrial clubs.
A feature of Tuesdays program was

LOCAL RANCHERS
RAISE TURKEYS

For the first time since Hood River
became an apple producing center local
ranchers have raised more than enough
turkeys to supply the Thanksgiving
demand. Butchers and meat market
men report that not single fowl has
been shipped from outside points.
whereas on former years 80 per cent of
the fowls have been imported.
Enough turkeys are left in the valley
for the supply of Hood River people at
Christmastime. Another novelty Of
fered by local butchers this year is
sucking roasting pigs. secured from
valley ranchers.
All meat market men haXe had on
display this week tempting fowls and
cuts of meat. A roasting pig, an apple
in its mouth, has been the center Of at
traction at the Filz market window,
which has been garnished with Oregon

EXCHANGE ERECTS
FINE BUILDING
LATEST CONvENIENCES AT PLANT
Fruit Growers Exchange Now Housed in
HOllOw-Tile Receiving Warehouse
Expenses Kept at Minimum.

One of the most modernly equipped
and most scientifically constructed
storage houses in the northwest, ac-
cording to experts who have visited
the place, is the three story, hollow
tile building just completed by the
Fruit Growers Exchange, the Hood
Fruit Exchange. Built on the Mount
Hood Railway tracks with its top story
fronting on State street, cut out of the
foot of the rangeside on which the
town of Hood River is located. the
boxes of apples received are conveyed
to points in the storage rooms or to
cars for shipment by gravity, thus
eliminating hea9y labor cost. The cost
of constructing the new warehouse and
storage plant was $4,000.
Six RECEIVING doors have been pro-
vided on the State street entrance, and
dn the platforms on which the wagons
of the growers are backed for unload
ing are cut three emergency chutes, to
be used in case of rush deliveries.
The storage rooms have capacity of
100, 900 boxes of fruit.
The hollow stole construction of stor-
age houses, because of ventilation given
through the rooms in which the apples
are kept. is today considered the best
method of storage house construction.
Heavy losses have resulted from de-
cayed apples caused by devitalized air.
Vents in the floors and the walls Of
hollow tile produce constant air cur
rents in tka new Exchange house. and
the atmosphere is always practically
as fresh as that out of doors.
No trucks are used at the new build
ing. Chutes from the receiving rooms
to the floors of lower level are in
stalled, and a spiral elevator will be
installed. From the storage rooms to
the cars the fruit is moved noiselessly
but sw6tly on gravity roller conveyors.
Boxes are made to turnsharp corners
on these gravity conveyors. One man
is placed at the pile Of boxes in the
storage house and another in the car,
when shipment is being prepared.
The boxes wind around the building
and finally are delivered to the car.
The warehouse is so constructed that
two more stories may be added as they
are needed. The present plant has
three doors for loading. 1t has ca
pacity for shipping eight carloads
daily.
When the apples are received they
are so segregated in piles, that the first
apples to be placed in the warehouse
are the first shipped, thus loss is avoid
ed from decay caused by too long peri
DDS of storage.
The Exchange has made every prov-
ison for the elimination of handling ex-
penses. One msn, Erenst Cramps, has
received, inspected and checked the
apples received this season. In case
fruit is turned down, the grawer is
notified. and il he desires it is repacked
at his expense. Leon Noble has been
in charge of all repacked fruit this
season.
The Office force consists of II. M.
Huxley and his daughter. Miss Mildred
Huxley. Kenneth Mckay is manager
of the Exchange.

Knockout Blows Sometimes Play
 Unusual Franks

Knockout punches that land on the right spot perform some funny freaks now and then. Occasionally a boxer will get a eIout that knocked all sense or reason out of his hratn, yet he fights on and on in a purely mechan- ical way. This might be termed a, knockout that isn't a knockout.
 One of the queerest freaks of this nature that ever came under the writ CTS notice happened at Apollo hall in Chicago one night more than 15 years ago. Andy >Daly a lightweight from Boston, was fighting Joe GaHigan, an Italian boy of Chicago. They were going six rounds, with a decision at the end.
 Daily was a remarkably clever young fellow without much of a. punchs Gal hgan wasn't so clever, but had the kick of a, mule in his right hand. For four rounds Daly had all the better or the work and was winning by wide margin.
 Early in the fifth Daly grew a Httle carelsss and over went the famous Galligan wa1lop to the jaw. Down went Daly, and it looked bad for him. took a count of eight, sat up rubbed his ears, arose to his feet, fin i ished out the round in fair shape and also came up for the sixth as strong as could be expected.
 Galligan made a whirlwind battle of | it in the sixth, but Daily gave him good as he sent and at the end or the sixth round the fight was called a draw by the referee, a decision that was approved by the crowd. | Daly returned to his dressing roomr and then donned his street clothes -
 Emil. Thiry was handling Daily at the time and was with him after the battle was over Just before they started for the street car, Daly called Thiry to one side, away from the Oth- ers..
 Nov, Emil, I'm going to ask you a. question, and I don't want you to. laugh at me. It's no laughing {matteE 1 with me at all You'll think it strange suppose. but this is what I want to know. Who won the fght?"
 (Which fght?" Thiry asked in. sur prise.
 My fight, of course Daly -retorted i Why, it was draw. and you did very well after that bad fifth round, z, Thfry answered. "Didn t you hear the decision? ?''
 T don't remember a thing of the fourth round,'' Daly answered "The reason I went in that barroom just now was to try and hear. soTnething g about the fight without asking sl 7 l questions. Nobody said anything, and I that is why had to ask you. feared I might have been knocked out.''

HARVARD CREW FAVORED OVER
 YALE OARSMEN

aas EEEe sasslssssg@3C CE ss.e,5saeggy
 Gales Ferry, Conn.,, June 21--Aside from taking yachting trip on Long Island Sound Saturday, Yale and Har- ward oarsmen spent considerable time estimating their chances of victory in the three races of next Friday, bas- ed upon the final time rows of Satur- day.
 The conclusions were that Harvard has the slightest shade of an edge on Yale in the Varsity eight or main race, that Harvard has shown su- periority in the freshmen eight pared event and that Yale has a, trif1e the better of the argument in the second eight pared race forecasts.
 Harvard's achievement in finishing the four mile time try Saturday seven seconds faster than Yale, whcih row ed over the course fifteen minutes lat CT, established the Crimson crew as having found it's speed at last. Admit tedly of stronger. and more experience ed material than Yale, the Harvard eight did not exceed Yale's time until Saturdays trials.
 In the regatta next Friday Yale fig ures on rowing a thirty stroke and tirlng Harvard so badly in keeping abreast rowing a thirty-one stroke, that Yale will have more reserve pow CT left for the final half mile.
 Harvard expects to push the stroke to thirty-two~ and to compel Yale to lift its pace to the same power which Harvard believes Yale cannot hold At any rate the crew that falters at the three and one-half miles will lose the race.

New York, June 21.-A new record in motor boat racing was established yesterday morning when the cruiser Flyaway III, owned by F. l.. Upjohn of the Huntington Yacht club, com pleted the 270-rnile course to Albany and return with an elapsed time of 12:34:37, in the seventh annual long distance race of the New York Motor Boat club.

WHITE SOx TO GET HANES OF
 YALE VARSITY

New Haven, June 21-Johnny Hanes, Yale's hard-hitting outdelder who played with the team until the Prince ton series, when he was withdrawn because of the eligibility rule, will play professional ball after he grad uates this week and he Goes not in tend to lose any time in jcining the team he selects It will be from dip lonna to diamond for him without any stopover check.
 Hanes has received several offers from major league clubs and he says that he will probably go to the Chi cago White Sox. He has had several conferences with Big Ed Walsh, who has been doing scout duty for the Chi cago team and the Chicago manager has been kept informed of the Yale mans work in all departments of the game.
 Hanes is a good batsnan, fielder and abse runner and thot is about all that is required. Hanes will be the only Yale player to go with the speed boys this season, as Reilly, who was fre- quently mentioned in the dispatches, ' is to enter business in New York and he never had any idea of being a pro- fessiona1 baseball player.
 The Yale team was taken to Gales Ferry yesterday morning so they can see the crews and. get away from life in a big city. The trip was made by automobiles and the itinerary calls for an early return to New Haven so the men will have plenty of time to sleep | and be prepared for the Harvard game tomorrow.

SINGERS TRAMPLE
 ON MILFORD CLUB

The unIucky thirteen held no jinx for the Singer and the locals chalked up another win yesterday by defeating the strong Milford team to 4. The game was exciting throughout and was witnessed by the largest crowd at any semi-pro game this season. The pitching of Stegner of the locals was a treat. On numerous occasions bad CT TOTS by the Singer infeld placed him in tight positions and he was forced to pitch his best and he performed in fine form. In the fifth with two on base and two gone he purposely passed Munson, who had already hit two doubles, and famed Lockwood for the third out.
 Munson, a college player, caught for the visitors and secured three hits and three runs, each of his hits being two baggers Christy of the home team also secured three doubles, one of his hits being the longest made on the diamond, but due to. the ground rules was allowed but two bases. Moshier, Horkheimer and Gtegner also hit hard and timely.
 Milford was the first to score Nun son opened the second with a double. Lockwood flied out and Carney fol- lowed with. a two-bagger, and scored on Horlky's- error on a hard hit by Francis.

Down the Line With Wagner

The rise of the St. Louis Cardinals is the talk of the baseball world. Ever since the Eastern trip they have been going at a wIlirlwind pace and Us a result of yesterdays victory over the Braves Huggins has his team in sec ond place, only 36 points behind Chi cago A loss of two games by Chica- go and a double win by St. Louis would put the Cardinals in the lead.
 One of the reasons for the Cardin- als' advance is the sensational work of Meadows, the young pitcher who was found in the Carolina league last year by Tom Connery, the old Hart ford manager. Both Boston and Brooklyn found the sledding pretty tough last week, each getting one victory Brooklyn went to pieces on the western trip and is barely ahead of the Giants.
 In the American league the White Sox still stay at the top but are close ly pursued by the Boston Red Sox, who have been squirting recently. The winning streak of the Yankees, who captured seven of their last eight games, has given the New York club they are not so far behind the Detroit Tigers, who hold the third rung.
 Ed Barney, who was with Hartford last season, is batting .301 for Jersey City of the International league. That's pretty fair considering that Jersey City has lost the last four games and is rapidly dropping out of the bottom of the league.
 Manager Stallings of the Boston Braves is a great man to take castof1 pitchers from other clubs and turr them into winners. He secured Ra gan from Brooklyn after that twirle1

A number of doubles were sent over the right field wall.
 Eddie Reilly played the best ball for the Y osts. He hammered Andy Coakley for four hits. Pat Hurley and Coles also rapped the leather hard. Coak1ey had such a lead that he didn't have to work very much. Mike Donlin displayed lots of life and the old Giant star was cheered/ by the crowd. The score:
