JACOB MERLE HON.
ORED BY FELLOWS

Drawing his inspiration, as he says
from Fred Dundee, of Portland, for
whom he was formerly employed, Jacob
Merle, of the garage firm of Foust 4
Merle, has returned from Portland
fully decided to equip in Hood River
one OF the most up TO date garages of
the state. In 80 days he and Mr.. Foust
will have installed cylinder grinding
machines and other apparatus that will
keep automobile repair business at
home.
Fired Dundee" says MIR. Merle,
deserves unstinted praise for what be
has done in setting pace for automo-
bile repair and garage men of the
state. When | was with Mr.. Dnudee
he was working but 10 men. Today he
employs 200. and his work is of such an
excellent nature that he is drawing
work from territory that has always
been patronizing the east. )"
Both Mr.. Foust and MIR. Merle we're
in Portland last week. The former
spent the first of the week at the auto
mobile show and the latter was there
the later part of the week. Mr.. Merle
attended the organization meeting of
automobile repair and garage men, and
was honored by election to the execu-
tive board. He was the lucky guest at
the banquet of rubber men, drawing a
$35 electric horn. Mr.. Merle has al.
ways been known to his friends as
Lucky jake"
Foust & Merle are local handlers of
the Studebaker automobile. On or
about March 10 they will receive car
load of this popular make of automo-
bile. The shipment will include fours,
skies and one delivery wagon. One of
the features of the Studebaker is that
the salesman give to each purchaser a
service card, guaranteeing inspection
and care of the machine for one years
time. These cards are later sent to
other dealers, and naturally each local
agency is keen on making the best pos
sible service record.
''We have received information,
says MIR. Merle, THAT an advance may
be expected in the prices of all auto
mobiles. There will possibly be a
small increase in the price in the Stud
ebaker. The gist of our advice in the
face of such information will be this ]:
''lf you are going to buy car, do so
at once. If you purchase now. you
will get your machine at the prevailing
price of today"

VIRGINIA APPLE MAN
PRAISES FREDRICY
(By C. Purcell McCue, of Virginia. in
American Fruit Gruwer)

(By C. Purcell McCue, of Virginia. in
American Fruit Grower)
Accompanied by a friend. | went to
the railroad office in Portland, Oregon,
to inquire about the trip to Hood
River. The agent gave US the infor.
nation asked for, and also his card to
the railroad agent at Hood River, Mr..
J. H. Fredricy. who, by the way, was
typical of the people we met in the
west-a booster" for the country and
its resources.
On our arrival at Hood River we
went to Mr.. Fredricy, and he was most
courteous. He phoned for an automo-
bile for US, and my friend and went
to get dinner at the hotel, with the
understanding that he would accom-
pany US on our trip if he could get
away. When we were almost through
dinner, MIR. Fredriey came up to say that
he would 60 with US, and. as he knew
the country and practically all of the
growers, his presence made it much
more interesting for US.
We took drive up the left hand side
of the valley. then across. and down
the flRnL manu- siue. luS iduu WI
which the orchards are planted is con-
siderably above the Columbia river
abou. 200 feet-and the drive up to this
elevation was on good roads.
The first thing that attracted our
attention was the fact that some of
the orchards we're in red clover, and
when we asked how this happened, We
were told that they did not always
clean cultivate their land. There were
hogs in some of the orchards, and Mr..
Fredricy said to the driver, That is
something you never saw few years
ago."
After this we came to big combina-
tion cold storage and packing house.
We met the manager. and he was very
kind, showed US all over the plant and
answered a good many questions for
US.
4 The plant was am air-cooled cold
storage, where the apples were run in
from the orchard as they came from
the trees. They packed as many as
they could as they we're brought IN,
and then sorted the others as an or
cbard run, and kept on packing them,

DISLOYALTY WILL
BE DISCIPLINED

A step forward 10 the cooperative or
ganization Of sales agencies seems
probable in all North western fruit sec
tions the coming year. While disci-
pllning unloyal members of sales
agencies has been mentioned in the
past and in cases has even been incor-
porated in contracts between associa-
tions and members, rules have never
been enforced. However, from the
present prevailing sentiment and the
expressions of local sales agency Off
cials, the Apple Growers Association
will probably begin the marketing of
next seasons crop with its affiliated
members bound to the organization by
contract, which will provide that the
member, in case he violates the con-
tract and ships independently or
through some other agency, will auto
matically be expelled.
The first actual steps toward the
disciplining of association members
were taken last week, when the 25
local unit organizations of the Yakima
| Valley Fruit Association adopted by
unanimous vote of their trustees to
summarily drop from their membership
list unloyal growers.
Idaho and Wenachehe are taking
the same point" says Wilmer SIeg,
sales manager of the local association,
"and will undoubtedly take similar
stand. The greatest drawback to the
Northwestern apple industry is the in
dependent shipper. Organizations base
their calculations on tonnage furnished
according to contracts, and when the
tonnage of those who withdraw TO ship
through other sources is deducted from
the total counted on in the first instance,
the ability of sales agency to guage
its marketing machinery is cut short
proportionately With the representa-
tive shipping concerns bringing about
these new rulings that will protect the
loyal member, independent shippers in
the future will have no chance.
"a contract is valid document and
must be protected, and while organiza-
tions do not want to cause or create
trouble they must do something to pro-
tect the shipper who is loyal. This
can only be done by the elimination of
the unloyal grower. The action of the
Yakima association is one in the right
direction: it will create stability. The
movement has the support of the gov
ernment committee that has been
working in the Northwest on an inves-
tigation of marketing conditions and
who have asserted that they found the
biggest proportion of damage to mar
kets caused by growers who try to ship
and work INDEPENDENTLY,

There were about 35 Japs at work

chimes doing the sizing, with few
Americans as foremen; boz naiiers,
markers, etc. These Japs were fur

per day if they could pack as many as
100 boxes per day. Their pay was
scaled down if they packed less.
sEveryone was busy and everything
was running as smoothly as possible.
None but perfect apples were put in
the boxes. This requisite of good
packing is much easier to obtain there
than with US. The Japs who do the
packing have absolutely no interest In
the number of apples they discard.
They are told what to do and they do il
with an exactness that is remarkable.

ELECTION INTER-
EST SINNERS
REFLECTIONS WILL BE SOUGHT
Shoemaker Will Again Make Race e-All
the Offices Except Two Will
Be Filled

While no aspirant to office has as yet
made formal filing of his intentions the
local political pot is beginning to SIM
mer and prospective candidates are
beginning to jockey for start in the
preliminary races of the May primar-
les. Successors to all county officers
must be elected except in the case of
County Judge E. E. Stanton and As
SCISSOR Jasper Wickham both of whom
will serve two more years.
The term of Circuit Judge W. l..
Bradshaw will expire at the end of this
year. While no expression has been
made by Judge Bradshaw himself, his
friends here are of the opinion that he
will be candidate to succeed himself.
Judge Bradshaw is one of the most
popular circuit judges in Oregon and
has held office for four consecutive
terms.
County Clerk Kent Shoemaker aged
"a and the youngest clerk in the taste.
will be candidate to succeed himself.
Mr.. Shoemaker has been an efficient
and faithful officer and has won a wide
spread esteem and popularity.
Thomas +. Johnson, too, will be
candidate for reelection to the office of
sheriff. While Mr.. johnson is at the
present time IN safe of somewhat in
decision, he says that he will enter the
race if the people desire him. He is
now finishing his third term of office
and has grown stronger with the peo-
pie of the county each year. At the
election in 1914 he received the largest
number of votes of any candidate.
The terms of incumbents of the fol-
lowing offices will expire with the end
of this year. Prof. G. d. Thompson,
county school superintendent: Consta-
BILE E. S. 0inger and Justice of the
Peace A. c. Buck. Mr.. Olinger will
be candidate for reelection. Judge
Buck, however, says that he does not
expect to again seek Office.
Prof. Thompson. who received notice
of his appointment as county agricnl-
turist of Josephine county Monday,
will tender his resignation. Prof. l..
F. Henderson, Mrs. Mary Frazier, B.
l.. Murphy and l.. b. Gibson are being
mentioned for the place.
Terms of the county surveyor and
county treasurer will expire this year.
Both offices are now vacant. Mrs.
F. A. Bishop is mentioned as the logi-
cal successor to her husband, and it is
probable that she will receive appoint

With the long continued cold weather
and the heavy snow blanket covering
the hills and valleys, local people have
been growing bolder and boder in their
search for winter sports with an in
creasing thrill. For the first time the
East Side range was climbed Saturday
afternoon, Hans Hoerlein, ski enthu-

says the wind was blowing a gale that
cut like razor. MIR. Hoerlein re-
turned down the 80 per cent grade at a
terrific speed.
Dr.. q. H. Jenkins was the first to
pilot bob-sled down the tortuous way
of the East Side grade. DR.. Jenkins,
an enthusiastic devotee of cossting,
made the long run successfully Sunday
morning.
