the city council. Existing regulations
make possible, it is declared, the easy
disposal Of stolen property, and Hood
River traffic regulations do not proper
ly cover the speed limit and reckless
driving of car owners.
The judiciary committee of the board
of aldermen was instructed to have or
dinances prepared to regulate both the
second hand dealers and car drivers.
The long drawn out season of berry
harvest, the maturity Of the fruit hav-
ing been delayed by cool weather. has
made it necessary for the city council
to maintain longer than usual the spe-
cial police service provided for the
protection of the Heights residence and
business sections. Allen Hart. special
policeman, has been retained by the
council, for an additional two weeks.
Acting on petition Of residents OF
Columbia street, who asked for the
installation of a two inch water main.
the council instructed the fire and
water committee to ascertain how
many of the petitioners would be will
ing to pay the cost of tapping the new
line.
The council accepted report of the
fire and water committee to give bet.
ter water service to the residents Of
the Winans addition. A two inch main,
however, will be installed instead of a
four inch pipe.

barbecue a steer, lambs and pigs and
serve the meat and crates of straw ber-
ries at nominal price or free TO visit

be provided.
Athletic events and aquatic sports
have been announced, and the recently
organized Hood River Rife Club, which
has a membership of rs, will partici-

MILITARY SPIRIT
AROUSED BY CALL

Hood River has no military organiza-
tion, but local men, former members
of companies of the national guard of
other states, declare that they are
ready to answer their country's call if
necessary, and it is thought that a
company or two of troops could be Or
ganized within a few days in the city
and valley.

very short notice, | think" says DR..
F. c. Brosius. who holds the rank of
major in the Oregon medical reserve
corps. DR.. Brosius served as captain
in the medical reserve in the Philip
pines during the Spanish American war.
Because of the critical Mexican situ-
alton and the orders of mobilization is-
sued to the National Guard, militant
spirit has pervaded Hood River and
much talk has been heard Of the local
organization of a company of troops.
'0n former occasions the organiza.
tion of a company of the National
Guard has been proposed" says Geo.
R. Wilbur, "but nothing definite was
ever done, because we thought we
would be unable to carry out our plans,
Under existing conditions, our ends

EUGENE ENCAMPMENT
WAS SUCCESSFUL

"No annual encampment of Depart
ment of Oregon, e. A. R., was ever
more successful than that held last
week at Eugene" says S. F. Blythe,
past commander of the state organiza-
tion, who with his comrades, Judge
A. C. Buck. s. Copple, Jno. A. Wilson,
L. H. Nichols, R. NJ. Hunt and New
ton Clark, returned Thursday from the
university town. IL have never seen
a better parade, and we old soldiers
certainly appreciated the courtesies
and hospitality shown US.
Mr.. Copple, commander OF Candy
Post, of this city, was appointed one
of the delegates to the national en-
campment to be held the latter part of
August and the first of September in
Kansas City. Mr.. Clark was appointed
a member of the committee on resolu-
tions.
Members of Candy Corps, W. R. c.,
have never expressed more pride IN
their organization than on the first Of
the week, when delegates of the Corps
returned from Eugene with handsome
portrait of Abraham Lincoln, pre-
sented to the Corps through Mrs.
Bentley, past president of the organ
ization, by the department inspector.
The portrait came as a reward for the
best ritualistic work in the state the
past year. Mrs. Bentley was appointed
institution and installation officer for
the coming year.
Candy Corps was represented by Mrs.
la. o. Anderson, Mrs. o. G. Dean, Mrs.
Aida Shoemaker, Mrs. Alberta Steed.

will visit her brother, Geo. Chamber
lain, at Yamhill.

ASSN MAKES
RECORD DEAL
SEASONS CARLOT OUTPUT Is SOLD
White Salmon Berries Included in Deal +
c. H. Robbins & Co., North
Dakota, Purchasers

The Hood River Apple Growers As
sociation and the White Salmon Fruit
Growers Union have sold their entire
carlot output of Strawberries of the
season to c. H. Robbins & Co., dealers
of Grand Forks. North Dakota. The
deal, made by Wilmer Sieg, is said to
be the largest ever made .of strawber.
ries in the Northwest. 1t is now esti-
mated that $50 carloads, in addition to
express shipments that will be disposed
of in local markets. will roll to .the
North Dakota commission men, who
distribute the berries through Montana,
Canadian points and the Dakotas.
The price is not given out by the As
sociation. Mr.. Sieg, however, says
that the returns of this year. because
of the contract price to G. H. Robbins
& Co., will be the best fin the history
of the Hood River and White Salmon
berry industry. The total returns will
reach approximately $500, 900.
The deal was made before the begin
ming of the season. although not an
nounced until last Friday. Growers
with the harvest now at its peak. are
jubilant over the prospects. Last sea-
son the North Dakota dealers pur-
chased from the Apple Growers Asso-
citation in single contract 40 carloads
of berries.
/: 1.-THE price," says Mr.. Sieg, ''is the
largest. so far as know, ever received
in any strawberry district in America
for the entire crop of fruit, unelss it be
the Kennewick district this year.
Kennewick sold at time when it was
meeting no competition. The sale was
made because Robbins & Co. had conf
dence in Hood River and White Salmon
and because they knew that the sales
organizations practically controlled the
output of the two districts and would
thus eliminate irregular and illegiti-
mate competition. This deal shows
what can be done under cooperative
organization, and it insures Hood River
and White Salmon proper values as
long as organization is maintained.
"Yet our deal is surrounded by
great deal of sensitive conditions. Cut
throat competition cannot injure us
this year, but il the Dakota market is
broken this year, we may rest assured
that we will not get the cream of the
commission firms business another
season."
MIR. Sieg states that the last asser-
ton is made because of the fact that
during the past several days interests
hostile to the sales organizations and
the purchasers of the berries have been
offering affiliated growers rewards of
higher prices to break their contracts
with the sales organization. MIR. Sieg,
while he will not name them, declares
that the offers are made by outside
influences.

ROAD NAMES CONFUS-
ing, SAYS MRS. HOWE

A campaign to secure significant and
appropriate names for all Of Hood Riv-
er county's highways is under way.
"At present" says Mrs. Alma Howe.
"our system of names is incomplete
and very confusing. The lack Of names
themselves, and the lack of Significance
of those existing. has been the subject
of conversation of numerous Portland
people who have visited my place re-
Gently. The name Portlsnd Way. as
applied to the highway penetrating the
Oak Grove district, is very confusing.
and to the traveller ignorant Of the val
ley's routes, it is always thought that
the Portland Way 10 the beginning of
the route to Portland. The name was
given the highway because number of
former Portland residents reside along
it,"
Mrs. Howe suggests that authorities
appoint a committee to secure proper
appelations for unnamed roads and to
change the designation of those, the
names of which are confusing.
