RIVER THREATENS,
EAST END HOUSES
Mississippi Reaches Heighth Which
Endangers Life and Property Shore
Drive Is No More.

Both life and property is endangered
by the present rampage Of the Missis-
sippi river. Not since 1892 has such
flood swept down upon the valley. Al
that time the whole downtown portion
of Moline was flooded. Heighth Of the
water went more than fifteen feet yes
terday, causing several factories trou-
bic by water in Easements. 1t is re-
ported that the river has risen but III.
tie in the last "A hours.
River drive, Moline, is covered with
six inches of water from East Moline
west to Twenty-eighth street. Some
of the yards bordering the drive are
partially submerged. A number OF
families have found their gardens,
upon which they expended hours of Ia
Dor as soon as indications were that
had gone, now on the bottom Of the
Mississippi. Poultry raisers have been
under necessity of having the fowls
moved to quarters on higher ground.
Water at Thirty-eighth street has
backed up for a considerable distance
on the roadway, which runs south on
a level with River drive for some lit
tie ways. Water in the yard of the
place 103 Thirty-eighth street comes
to within a few feet Of the front door
step. The new metal sign post recent
ly placed by the city. is four feet in the

Fight Flood in Factories.

Though the flood has invaded base
ments of a number of factories they
have as yet been able to continue op-
erations. A pump is kept going con-
stantly at the Wright Carriage Body
works, while there is another one in
reserve for an unexpected rise. Wa,
ter in the basement of the Wright fac.
tory has reached a maximum height of
Is inches.
Pumps are also kept in operation
in both pillow factories west of FIT
teenth street The water has not yet,
however, hindered the men in their
work
Considerable drift wood is being de-
posted in yards and on streets by the
food. 1t is not unlikely that the River
drive must undergo a cleaning before
being again fit for use.

Homer A. Rogers, who has Just re-
turned from a horseback ffip to Mount
Jefferson, passed through this city en-
route to Portland Friday morning. Mr..
Rogers. In company with the following
party, states that the trip was made
for the purpose of investigating the
contour OF the region and to Tentatively
outline plans for future road construc-
tion through tine national forests

is Macarthur and d. Wright.
THE total distance from the Mount
Hood Lodge to Jefferson Park" says
Mr.. Rogers, was SO miles. We trav-
eled over the trails on pony yback. 1t
was wonderful trip and revealed the
beauty of fields Of wild flowers and
mountain meadows. We climbed to the
summit of Olallie Butte, from which
We could see at our feet 81 lakes, the
largest of which was Olallie lake,"
On the return trip Mr.. Rogers made
a record horseback ride over the rough
trails. He left Jefferson Park on Sat-
urday morning. August 26, at 7 a. m.
and was at the Mount Hood Lodge at
l1.30 a. m. the following morning.
The entire distance was made in q
travelling time of 28A hours.

FRUIT MEN WANT
NO MORE EMBARGO

While the embargo placed last week
by railway companies in face of the
impending strike. which has now been
averted. caused but small delay in the
movement Of the Hood River valleys
perishable product. carloads of pears
having been rushed to the Canadian
border for movement over Canadian
lines to the Atlantic seaboard as soon
as the embargo was called, II is de-
clared by fruit men that the embargo
has caused decentralization Of market
conditions and has thrown into chaos
the filing of orders.
THE embargo, OF course" says
Wilmer Sieg, who returned Sunday
from Walla Walla, where he attended q
meeting of the Fruit Growers A gency,
Inc. f"created a chief topic of discus
sion. A number of other fruit districts
such as Yakima with her peach crop in
full harvest swing, suffered a great
deal more than we did. While all of US
fruit men we're congratulating our
selves on the fact that the embargo
was lifted, we began Immediately to
shift around to see if we could In the
future not avail ourselves of some
weapon to prevent such another hap
pening. In my opinion the past embar-
60 has given the Growers Agency a
problem to work out. If by no other
means we will endeavor to secure some
legislation to prevent future embar-
60. Such an embargo simply throttles
the fruit business.
With the car embargo lifted the
Hood River valley lumber industry is
moving along normal lines. "Our ship
ments are moving out as usual" says
j. E. Robertson. 'We are not having
any shortage of cars. At least no such
shortage as would justify any criticism
of the Union Pacific line, which is
moving our freight for US as rapidly as
Is possible."

LEWIS BAILEY SAVES
COMPANIONS LIVES

Another Hood River Boy Scout,
Lewis Bailey. the l6 year old son of
Deputy City Marshal Bailey. was vic.
torious last week over the waters of
the Columbia river. Stuart Bowman,
the IL year old son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. &. Bowman, of the Oak Grove dis
trict, with party Of companions was
swimming on the beach, when he
stepped into water beyond his depth.
Mary Haslinger. twelve year old
daughter of the Heights florist, an
exceptional swimmer for her age,
pluckily went to the aid of the drown
ing boy. Young Bowman. however. in
his alram grasped the little girl. clasp
ing her arms to her body. As she was
being dragged to the bottom. of the
deep hole the little Haslinger girl cried
for help.
Young Bailey dived Immediately,
putting into play the lessons taught to
Scouts, and in less than minute had
the two children safe on the sand
beach.
Since the Hood River troop of Boy
Scouts was organized here four years
ago never has a summer passed that
some member of the troop of COM
panion in swimming has not been res
cued from q watery grave by members
of the organization.

UNSnAKEN TESTIMONY

Time is the test OF truth. And Doan's
Kidneys Pills have stood the test in
Hood River. No Hood River resident
who suffers backache, or annoying uri-
nary ills can remain unconvinced by
this twice told testimony.
VIM. Boorman, retired farmer, Ais
Sherman Ave-, Hood River, says: II
was feeling pretty bad when began u.s.
ing Doan's Kidney Pills for kidney trou.
BILE, but l am glad to say that they
quickly cured me. also had a great
deal annoyance from the kidney secre-
tions and ! am entirely free from it. My
back, which had also been quite lame,
is now all right and | can bend or stoop
without difficulty, something couldn' t
do before l used Doan's Kidney Pills"
The above statement was given on
December 8, 1907, and on May 4, 1916,
Mr.. Boorman added: "You may con-
tinue to use my recommendation for
Doan's Kidney Pills publicly, as you
have in the past, for still hold a high
opinion of this old. reliable, kidney
medicine. Whenever necessary, take
Doan's Kidney Pills and they never fail
to do me good"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for a kidney remedy--get Doan's Kid
ney Pills-the same that Mr.. Boorman
has twice publicly recommended.

COMMENT ON APPLE
SALES METHODS

At recent interview with r. s.
macCormack. of the firm of Brown &
Seccomb, of New York, while in Port
land on bis way to southern California,
the question was asked of Mr.. Mac
Cormack what in his judgment was the
weakness Of the marketing of the
northwestern apples. His reply 10
worthy of consideration as il has the
merit of frankness and knowledge of
the subject. Mr.. MacCormacA said In
substance:
The primal weakness is lack of unity
OF action. The employment of made.
quate and non-expansiveE channels of
distribution and the attempt to both
sell and consign to the same person.
These three causes seem to underly the
unsatisfactory conditions which exist
In the marketing Of northwestern ap-
pies.
The apples themselves are of superi.
or quality and appearance the pack
second to none the growers organiza-
tions we'll organized and the consuming
public educated, and yet every grower
recognizes that something is "rotten
in Denmark" with a system that can
not expand to absorb the natural in
crease Of production without disastrous
results to the grower.
The first weakness iL the marketing
of apples is due to the fact that apples.
unlike other fruits, are not sold
through one main channel, but are dis
tributed in three or four different
ways. Theoretically, the most salts
factory method to the grower should
be the I. o. b. method with the cash in
the growers hand and the speculator
holding the bag; but in order to
have the speculator play the game the
grower must control every car, so as
to assure the speculator Of fixed price
and guarantee no consignments to de-
stroy the speculator' market. But
that Is only a dream of the "happy
hunting grounds" because it is a phys
ical impossibility to knit together an
organization which will stand 100 per
cent steadfast to such or any other
agreement and even If it were possible
to line up the box apples of the North
west, the producers Of the East would
"cut loose" and destroy apy possible
agreement between growers and specu-
lators.
So dismissing selling the entire crop
I. o. b. as desirable but unworkable,
let US examine more closely the meth
ods now employed.
Naturally, all the apples that can be
disposed of f. o. b. are sold in this
manner, but this disposes of but a
small percentage of the crop and
works to great disadvantage to the
small producer. In years of scarcity,
the percentage of I. o. b. sales of an.
Piles 10 satisfactory, but the first bump
or crop finds f. o. b. buying reduced
at the very time the grower needs an
enlarged outlet. The very year when
expansion is needed, +. o. b. buying
shows contraction. So that I. o. b.
method must be discarded as ineffec-
tive at the time relief is most needed.
This condition forces the shippers to
cOnsign.
