Agencies Deny Early's Charge

Officials of apple sales agencies deny
the charge recently made by Chas. l..
Early. VINO declared that apple shippers
were not loading to capacity refriger-
ator cars.
"In every instance where it is possi-
ble," says Wilmer Sieg. I'VE have filed
our cars to the utmost capacity. Re.
frigerator cars cannot be loaded, how.
ever. to their capacity in weight, when
apples are hauled. A space must be
left for the proper ventilation of the
fruit. But in the larger portion of our
shipments, the cars have carried 1864
boxes of apples, and above 1000 boxes.
where ordinary box cars we're used.
''In many instances, too, we have
connections with limited markets that
will take only the minimum loading of
$50 boxes of fruit. We have to take
care of these small buyers and Of
course load accordingly.

.SkAMANIA RECALL UP
TO SUPREME COURT

1t is likely, according to visitors here
from the Understood orchard district
that the proposed recall of J. N. Boyd
and j. W. Shipley, commissioners Of
Skamania county, Washington, may be
carried to the supreme court of the
state.
Petitions calling for a recall election
against the Skamania county officials
were recently filed with County Auditor
e. h. Nellor, Of Stevenson. recently.
The petitions we're canvassed and q
count Of the signatures were made last
week. While it was found that the
signatures exceeded in numbers the
necessary 35 per cent required before
an election could be legally called,
Messrs. Bovd and Shipley and their
attorneys, E. E. Shields and Geo. E.
0'Brien, presented counter petitions
from signers of the original document,
asking for the election, who asked that
their names be withdrawn from the
latter. Auditor Nellor ruled that the
names appearing on both petitions
should not be considered in that calling
for the recall rejection. II. W. Arnold,
as attorney for the recall element,
which was led by H. V. Romlnger and
h. W. Arnold, resisted this ruling, and
it is now declared that the supreme
court will be called on to settle the
question. The term of Office of Mr..
Shipley will have expired before a de-
cision of the Washington supreme
court can be rendered. Mr.. Shipley GO
inc out of Office January
The recall petition was precipitated
in Skamania county early last summer,
charges of misuse of their Office in the
construction of new roads and in the
exenditure of $4,000 bond issued
voted in the county last year having
been made against the commission.

RECORD COLD
HITS VALLEY
NIP IS GENERAL IN NORTHWEST
Heavy Toll is Taken Of Apples and Po-
tatoes- Sunday Was q Perfect
Winter Day

According to the statements of pio.
neer residents, the cold weather of last
week, when the thermometer registered
as low as l3 degrees on the West Side
at the place of E. W. Birge both We'd
nesday and Thursday nights, set a rec
ord for autumn in the Hood River val
ley. Usually the days of November
are warm with more or less rain.
Rarely are any Hood River apples in
jured from frost.
But the cold of last week took
heavy toll, not only here but through
out the northwest. While Hood River
damage is placed at a maximum of Is
per cent, the maximum estimates of
some other districts ran we'll up toward
so per cent. and the total crop loss for
the four Northwestern states, Mon.
tana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington,
has been placed at an approximate ST.
500 600. 1t is stated that no less than
!, $50, 900 boxes Of apples we're made
unfit for commercial use by the nip Of
the frost.
With the prevailing acute potato
shortage. the toll taken by last weeks

warehouses and barns to the city.

ness properties and Easements we're
pressed into service. William Rand
was stationed at the corner of Third
and Oak streets to act as traffic mana
ger.
A silver thaw threatened in Hood
River Saturday morning, tying up
traffic on country roads and city streets.
The precipitation OF the night before.
when the temperature had climbed with
an accompanying west wind, had frozen
solidly on street and road surface. Au-
tomobiles participated in freak skid
ding. such as one sees in moving pic.
lures. At one time nearly hundred
loaded apple wagons were halted on
the East Side grade.
A more perfect winter day than Sun.
day never prevailed over the mid CO.
lumbia district. Saturdays light pre-
cipitation was turned into record thick
hoar frost that lasted we'll toward noon
on sidewalks protected from the sun,
and on the steep grades children we're
privileged to enjoy good cossting.
Scores OF the youngsters carried their
sleds with them to Sunday school and
rode the flyers homeward.
| The low temperature of the past
week had frozen the surface of Colum-
bia sloughs to the thickness of nearly
an inch and many venturesome young
men and women were out on skates.
A perfect calm prevailed, and Sunday
afternoon the roads we're lined with

BOX MISUSE MAY
BRING PROSECUTION

Shipments of diseased and improperly
branded apples from the Hood River
Valley in boxes bearing the imprint Of
local cooperative sales associations
may end in prosecution. Association
officials declare that the practice is in
conflict not only with the Oregon pure
food laws but with federal regulations.
Portland dealers are accused of com.
ing here and buying low grade fruit
that growers cannot. under strict grad.
ing rules, dispose of except to vinegar
factories. Attracted by the larger
margin of profit in selling to Portland
buyers. many growers have disposed of
windfalls and diseased fruit, shipping
the apples in boxes marked with asso-
citation brands. Growers and purchas-
ers alike, it is stated, are thus violat-
ing the law.
Protests will be made to J. D.
Nickel, state food and dairy commits
sioner," says Wilmer Sieg. "This
flooding Uf the Portland market has
put Hood River in bad with the con-
suming public. Hood Rivers displays
at the Pure Food Show have created a
furore, and we find that the reputable
grocers of the city are willing to CO.
operate with US in selling up-to- rBde
apples. but the indiscriminate offering
of the frosted and low quality product
has practically ruined the market.
The housewives of Portland. them
selves, only can remedy conditions by
making a demand for the best quality
fruit. which is being offered at most
reasonable prices"
Kenneth Mckay. manager of the
Fruit Growers Exchange. declares
that independent buyers have shipped
fruit from Hood River that should
have been con6scated by fruit inspec-
tors.
at is a crime" says Mr.. Mckay.
that such product has been allowed
to leave the Valley"

Winter in Artistic Mood

Winter was in an artistic mood in the

Of-Grade Demand Heavy

Frank Waters, q fruit professor of
Portland. here Monday in an endeavor
to secure a supply of Gull apples for
the manufacture of apple butter and
for evaporating purposes, was unable
to make purchases. Apple sales Off
cials declare that the low grade prod
uct of the valley was never better
taken care of than this season. The
Apple Growers Association has con-
tracted up to 5000 tons Of cooking
grade apples to the Wittenburg. K ing
Co., of The Dslles, and the Hood River
Apple Vinegar Co. will take the re.
mainder of the Gull product, consisting
of windfalls and frosted fruit made
unfit for commercial shipments.
