A project is under way for a first

reject it; but it is willing to repeat ia
them, and to others, that a well.laid

POSSIBLE PROBE OF
ORCHARD STOCK SALES

County Judge E. E. Stanton. presi-
dent of the Associated Fruit Growers,
corporation owning West Side orchard
tracts here and against which it is
stated in rumors postal inspectors are
conducting an investigation to deter
mine whether or not the officials of the
concern used the mails for a possible
fraudulent disposal of stock. declared
last week that be had no knowledge of
such an investigation.
$50 far as my knowledge of the
affairs of the company extend, says
Judge Stantsn, mo Irregularities in
the sale of our stock has ever occurred.
Personally. | have never sold penny's
worth of the stock. do not know how
many have purchased stock in the
company"
The Associated Fruit Growers was
organized year before last by the
amalgamation of West Side orchards
owned by Judge Stanton and wife and
by Marquis & Kellogg. The capital
stock of the concern was placed at
$40, 600, the property controlled being
approximately so acres. A permit for
the sale of stock, issued in November,
1914, was revoked the latter part of
last year.
According to local rumors. R. F.
Marquis. an officer of the company had
charge of the promotion of the sales of
stock. Mr.. Marquis left here last
year. In the early summer Judge
Stanton made sudden and hurried
trip to st. Paul, where according to
current reports he called on Mr.. Mar
quis in an endeavor to secure reckon
ing as to deals in connection with the
fruit company. According to rumors
Mr.. Marquis manipulations have re-
suited IN the postal Investigations.
Judge Stanton, however, denied any
knowledge of sharp practices on the
part of any associates. He was prone
to lay the activities of those partici-
pating in an investigation involving
the company to political animosities.
Judge Stanton and wife and the
Associated Fruit Company have just
been made defendants in suit brought
by X. J. Jarvis, a Willow Flat rancher.
for foreclosure of a mortgage for
Sc, 900 on a 10 acre tract decided by
Judge Stanton and wife to the orchard
corporation at the time of the organ
ization of the concern. Nothing, how
ever, appears irregular on the part of
the president of the orchard concern
in this proceeding.

GROWERS ORDER MORE
BOXES FOR APPLES

With growers of all sections increas-
ing their orders for containers, box
factories of the Hood River Valley are
running night and day. With warm
days of the past week swelling the
fruit to good size, it is found that
the earlier estimates of orchardists
were placed too low, and the Hood
River Valley will probably come near
er reaching the million box mark this
Fall than on any former season. In
round numbers the crop of commercial
fruit to be packed and marketed is
being placed at 900, 600 boxes.
While weather conditions. according
to growers. is said to be just right for
maturing the apples at proper sizes,
the cool nights, with a temperature
above the frost mark, are bringing
about a heightened color. For quality
the 1916 apple crop bids fair to out
rank any of recent years.
| While keen demand for apples is
making itself felt through frequent
visits of purchasers from the eastern
seaboard, no local agencies as yet have
reported any extensive sales.
Because of the railroad embargo
placed just about the time Bartlett
pears were ready to move, according
to local market men, thousands of dol
lars were lost by Northwestern fruit
districts. In instances the fruit had
already been bought, and in such cases
the losses, of course, were borne by
the purchaser.
Since the d'Anjeu is a variety of
pears that natures later and is chiefly
sold to the export trade, the price con-
dition will not be affected to any great
extent. The first carload of d'Anjous
to roll from here was shipped by
Robert Payson Loomis. fruit mer-
chant of New York City, who owns
local orchard lands and who has been
here for the past several weeks. The
Apple Growers Association shipments
of d'Anjous, estimated at 40 carloads,
some 10 carloads more than last season.
will not begin to move until this
week. The d'Anjou crop is about three
weeks later than on last season.
while d'Anjous are long keepers
and will ship for great distance, "
says Wilmer Sieg, sales manager of
the Association, "they must not be
harvested until matured. If the fruit
does not contain proper amount of
sugar, it will shrivel."
Mr.. Sieg declares that the total crop
of marketable apples for the state of
Oregon will not exceed 1000 carloads.

There was a sudden stir in the trenches back

ular of all visitors, more welcome even than
the carriers of food-was making his way
toward the front.
The men crowded around him, chatting and
laughing, as he opened his sack. A fusiade
of jokes greeted the delivery Of each letter.
The men outnumbered the letters more than
three to one, but each one kept alert ear
cooked for the sound Of his own name.
Those who were called caught the letters
tossed toward them and backed out of the
press. The others cheered, with vivid remarks
regarding the luck of some beggars.
Then, one by one, those others were called
over to the letter-readers to hear bits of news
from home or to read for themselves friendly
messages from foreign lands. There were not
enough letters for all, but before the order
came to go to the firing line every man had
had at least part of one.

You know, you have TO save $4,000 N q
der to gain from your hoard an income ,
$500 or 5000 to keep you out of the poorho,
and that amount will scarcely do more.
To save $4,000 would require inredS

It's toss-up, isn't it?
The substance of the whole thing seem
