welcome news which has Just been
given out by f. l.. Norman, general
agent of the Grand Trunk Railway Of
Seattle, to the effect that his company
will publish effective as soon as possi-

ern Fruit Exchange. California ship
pers have been permitted to divert
shipments originating in their
state, after arrival at destination on

the through rate to final destination
protected, while shippers of the north

to divert to any point beyond after ar
rival at destination without being CON-
PEELED to pay local rate from point of
diversion to final destination. We were
able to convnicre the Grand Trunk off,
cials that they were restricting distri-

WILD GOATS PROVE
TO BE ANGORAS

For the past several weeks parties of
mountaineers who have made the as
cent of Mount Hood have been contra
dieting the statements of authorities on
Northwestern natural history by re-
ports of having sighted wild sheep or
goats high on the snowfields of the
peak. A drove of the animals, near
the summit of the snowpeak, huddled
under the shelf of glacial precipice,
was recently seen by Hans and Paul
Hoerlein, William Marshal, W. B.
Arens and Ned Crawford, who made
the entire circuit of the mountain.
The mystery was explained last week

homesteader who was in the city OH
business.

LABOR SHORTAGE
Is IMPENDING
MANY APPLE PICKERS SOON NEEDED
Floating Labor Population Said to be
Drawn to Lumber Camps, Which
Are Running Full Swing

Anticipation of shortage Of labor
is the fly in the ointment of Hood Riv-
er orchardists at the present time.
Ready to begin the harvest of one of
the largest crops in the history of the
district. growers and the managements
OF sales associations are at work on a
solution of the impending picker prob
lem. The floating labor available last
year IS lacking this season.. With lum-
ber plants in most all Northwestern
districts in full swing, local sawmills
and logging camps have found it no
easy task to fill their ranks this sea-
son.
According to C. II /. Castner, in charge
of the warehouse of the Apple Growers
Association. more than $500 harvesters
were used in the picking and packing
Of the crop of Hood River apples last
year. Mr.. Castner says that three
times the number of last year will be
needed the coming season. OF course,
a large portion of the harvesters of
last year season were furnished by the
families of growers themselves and by
the local working population.
Fruit growers will be aided in their
demand for pickers by the United
States immigration Bureau, which dur
ing harvest time establishes an office
at local warehouses.
In view of the labor shortage the
board of directors of the Apple Grow
ers Association declares that it can
take no positive stand on the prices
that shall be paid for labor. The
board, however, makes the following
suggestions, which are said to be in
line with the financial conditions of the
Northwest: Labor for harvesting, 20
cents per hour; for packing from grad
ing or sizing machines, three cents per
box; packing from tables, four cents
per box.
The Association has arranged for an
advance of Is cents per box to growers
on delivery of apples of the standard
grades and varieties on delivery at the
local shipping and cold storage termin-
ais.
The Association has announced the
following budget for the coming year:
Fancy and etxra fancy apples will be
charged FIVE cents per box for adver-
tising; c grades two cents per box and
all inferior grades one cent.
The handling and sales charge of
fruit will not exceed 10 cents per pack
age. A maximum charge of 10 cents
per box will be assessed for storage.
To raise a reserve fund for the purpose
Of financing growers in the harvest of
their crops and to purchase materials,
the Association will this year levy an
of one cent per pbox on all
packages for which chager of 10
cents for handling is made. Where the
handling charge is less than 10 cents
the tax will be proportionate.
