A LOGANBERRY
MOVEMENT IS ON
LARGE ACREAGE FRUIT PREDICTED
Growers, Sales Agents and Vinegar Fac.
tory Said to Be Behind the Pro-
posed New Industry

Hood River orchardists have the To-
cranberry fever, and it is declared by
local fruit men, who have recently in
vestigated the productivity of a few
local loganberry tracts and the general
loganberry industry, that benefits will
result II the malady materializes in a
heavy acreage of loganberries in the
orchard districts.
The loganberry movement, it is said,
has been incubating here for some
months. 1t is declared by those who
have been making a study of the situa-
tion to have the backing of growers,
fruit sales agencies and the Hood River
Apple Vinegar Company. In all prob
ability activities on the part of ranch
ers in the preparation of new logan
berry fields will be seen this fall. A
number of growers of the Lower VAL
ley have expressed desire to see the
movement carried forward, and each of
these will plant tracts of several acres.
"Apples of course" says Truman
Butler, will remain the predominant
industry of the valley. But it will be
beneficial. of course, to have our grow
ers engage in as many profitable sioe
lines as possible. have recently been
told by experts that our loganberries
are of a superior quality; that they
have a body and substance that will
attract the evaporator aad drying man.
and it is claimed that they contain
more sugar than most loganberries and
that juice made from them has more
tang We are in full accord with the
movement, and hope to see it not only
lead to a profitable industry for grow
ers, but for local manufacturing con-
Germs as WE'LL"
Wilmer Sieg says that he has no
doubt about the future of loganberries
for Hood River.
IF growers are willing to undertake
the planting of large acreage of the
vines" says Mr.. Sieg, 'they can at
once contract for a period of FIVE years
in advance for the sale of their crops
at prices that will bring a handsome
return"
The loganberry movement, il it con-
tinues popular and is actually brought
to naturalization, will work revolu-
tion in the Upper Valley, where the
larger portion of the undeveloped land
Of the Hood River valley produces an
excellent strawberry. the fruit reaches
maturity after the peak Of the berry
market has been reached, and returns
are not so good az for earlier berries.
1t is argued. too. that the maturity of
apples on the extreme high attitudes,
is too late for the highest profit. These
undeveloped tracts, however. it is
claimed. will produce the best quality
Of loganberries.

NORTHERN LIGHTS ARE
SEEN SATURDAY NIGHT

A phenomenal display of northern
lights created great excitement among
residents of the Hood River valley
Saturday night. The display was first
seen by people of the Upper Valley
and in the Dee section.
"Mrs. Tucker and l were sitting on
our front porch" says Col. W. F.
Tucker, when the northern sky was
suddenly beautifully illuminated with
a number of shafts. These ceased, and
an arc, apparently coming from Rim
Rock, a high basalt cliff of the range
at the east of the valley, shot over the
zenith and lost itself In the wester.
horizon. l have never seen such and ia
play and am eager to know its explain
ation."
The lights we're seen by a party of
Dee residents participating in an ice
cream social. 1t was at first thought
by them that the lights might be sig
nails used by representatives Of the
United States Coast and Geodetic sur
vey, the crews of which were recently
here establishing stations on Lookout,
Chinadere and Hucklebrry peaks. The
general direction of the shafts, how
ever. was in an eastetly and westerly
direction and could not have been pro-
duced from the lookout points, wich
are on the north and south sides of the
valley.
when | first saw the lights" said
c. B. Compton, OF Dee. there were a
number Of shafts of strong light con.
verging to a point just east of u.s.
The lights at one time made the val
ley almost as light as day. The final
giant shaft, which died slowly away at
10 80 o'clock. as seen from this city,
bisected the sky.
The phenomenon of Saturday night
is said by some to be the result of dis
plays of the aurora borealis, while
other astronomers declare that the as.
tral lights we're produced by the star
Jupiter, which at the present time ID
said to be very much closer than usual
to the earth.

By "SI" GROGAN,

On the part of some there is a certain
feeling Of uneasiness when II comes
to investing money in a used automobile
Buying used car is exactly the same
as making a business transaction Of any
other nature. To be sure, used cars
carry no guarantee but there is not a
reputable dealer in the city who would
for the sake of the few dollars profit
that he may get from the sale, II any,
sell a car to a customer that he knew
In his own mind was not as he represent
ed 1t.
While the cars of this sort are not
warranted for any length of time against
defective workmanship, material, or
promised to be in any stated condition,
the word Of the dealer that they are
as represented and in good shape can be
relied upon. He is not In business to incur
enmity and there is no manner in which
II could be done more easily than by
misrepresenting something which he had

the paint is in bad shape many of them
send these machines to the paint shop
and have them repainted.
The time when the unsuspecting public
was considered as legitimate prey by the
motor car dealer belongs to the early
days of motoring. "Caveat emptor" was
the rule that was adhered TO then. While
1t still is a principle OF law II is not
invoked. In nine out ten instances the
buyer Of used car is making his first
venture in the automobile field He is a
man of limited means. but feels that he
can spare few hundred dollars for the
pleasure OF himself and family No way
can he better invest it than in an auto

In this manner he can give his family
pleasure at the same time he is enjoying
some Of the luxuries of life and at no
additional expense.
The history OF the business has shown
that the buyer Of the secondhand car
does not keep It for long before he de-
cides that he must have something bet
ter. AS his financial condition improves

good investments he purchases the new
