FRUIT EXCHANGE an

The Northwestern Fruit Exchsnge is
oft with an interesting report showing
that out Of total of POST cars handled
BY the Exchange this season. up to No

75s per cent. The average time be.

given as q days. Commenting on these
q ures ID. H. White, treasurer of the
Exchange. says: "The Exchanges

made their customary time. As it was,
cars have taken an unusually long time
this year to reach destination. due, no
doubt, to congested terminals. shortage
of motive power, etc.
"The Exchange machinery this year,
while carrying the heaviest load in its
history. has run more smoothly than
ever before and the Exchange could
easily have cleared several thousand
more cars without embarrassing the
organization in the slightest. Had it.
not been for the car shortage, the Ex-
change could easily have cleared it's
entire tonnage and closed its accounts
with the growers by or before January

OVERLAND DEALERS
CONVENTION SUCCESS

The WHY'S Overland Co.. of Toledo,
pulled off the greatest advertising
stunt ever attempted when they con.
ceived the idea of entertaining their
agents from all over the United States,
during the month of December. Invita-.
tions were issued for two days visit
at the big Toledo plant. The invit4.
tions we're extended to the Overland
dealers, their bankers and various
neasusper men
Both C. F. Gilbert and II. T. De-
Witt, Overland dealers for Heod River
county. took advantage of this invita-
tion, and are enthusiastic in declaring
there never was and never will be an.
other trip like il. The fun began when
the train of solid Pullman GAYS left
Portland, and it was one round of
pleasure until the train arrived on the
Pacific again.
John N. WHY'S, president of the
Overland Co., had arranged the the en-.
ire trip, and the two days at the fac
tory, according to Gilbert & Dewitt,
we're the most profitable days ever
spent by them.
The entire party was divided into
groups of eight or ten, and guide con
Quoted each group through the factory,
explaining each operation in automobile
manufacturing. Space does not permit
US to give detailed description of the
factory wonders as Gilbert & Dewitt
describe them, but they are both full
of enthusiasm about the Overland cars
as a result of the trip.
Mr.. WHY'S himself presided at the
two banquets given in honor of the Pa.
cifc coast dealers. he outlined the
sales policies and service plans of the
Overland Co. for the coming year, be.
sides giving advance information about
new models to be brought out by tie
Overland Company.
Hood River received her share of ad-
vertising on this trip. When the spe.
cial train pulled into the depot here, il
was greeted by delegation of Hood
River business men, and all members
of the party received Hood River ap-
Piles, presented by several of our most
charming young ladies.
The editor of the ROseburg Evening
News was member Of the party on
board the special, and evidently Hood
River made an impression on the party,
as the EveniEg'News in writing up q
story of the tri y makes the following
comments:
"On arriving at Hood River dem.
onstration of community boosting was
given that had no equal or rival along
the whole route, enthusiastic and able
as many of them were. great crowd
had assembled at the station and amont
them we're over a score of rosy checked
lassies each with large basket of the
famous apples of Hood River in suff-
cient quantity that every member of
the excursion had both hands and pock-
cts filled with the splendid fruit. Each
of the apples was separately wrapped
the wrappers being labeled so there
could be no mistake that they can't
from Hood River. When the train
started again, it was found that al
least ten full boxes we're OIL board witt
the compliments of Gilbert & Dewitt
1t certainly was a splendid advertise
ment of the product that has made
Hood River famous.

UPPER VALLEY SNOW
TWO FEET DEEP

Three feet of snow have already fall
en- at points of high altitude in the Up.
er Valley, according 10 Homer A. Rog.
ers, of Mount Hood Lodge, who passed
through Hood River last week en- route
to Portland.
"The snow has settled down now to
a depth of about two feet" says Mr..
Rogers. "and the snowshoeing and ski
ing are as fine as one would WISH"
MIR. Rogers was visiting Portland to
make preparations for a number of
holiday parties expected to participate
IN the winter sports on Mount Hoods
side. The snowfields of Mount Hood
bid fair to become as popular in the
winter months as in summertime, and
the Mount Hood Railroad Co. is pre-
pairing to insugurste special service
for the accommodation of Portland
people who wish to participate 10 ski.

HOOD RIVER MAY GET
RECRUITING STATION

Members of the Commercial club and
local business men have petitioned Or
eRon recruiting headquarters. of Port
land, to establish the proposed new re-
cruiting Office planned for some point
between Pendleton and Portland at this
city Activity on the part of the local
men was stimulated by suggestions
from Sergesnts Leland S. Beveridge,
" allace Fore and W. A. Kinney, who
have been here the past several days
seeking new material for the Regular
army.
While The DaIles is making a strong
ppeal for the new recruiting office,
the visiting recruiting men declare that
Hood River, despite the fact that its
population is materially smaller than
that of The Dalles, is more favorvably
located for canvassing of numerous
small points on both sides of the stream
IN the mid Columbia river district. The
fact that Hood River has a military
organization, the Twelfth Company,
Coast Artillery Corps. Oregon National
Guard, it is stated, also causes army
men to look more favorably on the 10.
cation of the new station here.

WaucOmic and George Disagree

(From Skamania County. WASH, Pho.
neer)
When Waucomic was shown the
weather prognostications of that Hood
River savage who predicted the snow
would De 1.-TWO squaws deep by Christ
mas" he laughed and said wake
cumtux." and predicted there would
not be much snow this year. "Mebbe
half squaw in January, mebbe not so
much" Waucomic is our aborignee
weather prophet for this part of the
country. There seems to be either a
decided difference of opinion in our
Indian weather forecasters or decided
difference in the snowfall between
Hood River and this place, only 20
miles apart and both on a level with
the Columbia river. We never cared
much before about the size of a souaw,
whether she was long or short, fat or
lean, but now we are glad that large
majority of them are decidedly short
and stubby. for it makes a difference
of several inches in our snowfall.

Danger Signal

II the fire bell should ring would you
run and stop it or go and help to put out
the fire? 1t is much the same way with
cough A cough is a danger signal as
fire bell. You should no more try to
suppress it than to stop fire bell when
it is ringing, but should cure the disease
that causes the coughing This can
nearly always be done by taking Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Many have
used it with the most beneficial results
1t is especially valuable for the persist
ent cough that so often follows bad
cold or an attack of grip. Mrs. Thomas
Beeching, Andrews, Ind, writes: Dur
ing the winter my husband takes cold
easily and coughs and coughs. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is the best med.
icine for breaking up these attacks and
you cannot get him TO take any other"
