INDEPENDENTS RUIN
PORTLAND MARKET

The report to the effect that local
apple distributing concerns have flooded
the Portland market with poor grade
product, wrecking prices and creating
chaotic conditions, is denied by officials
of the Apple Growers Association and
the Fruit Growers Exchange, the two
organizations handling practically the
entire output Of the valley.
at is fact, however, says Wilmer
Sieg, that frosted apples in alarming
quantities have been shipped to Port
land by independents. 1t is unfortun-
ate that the independent will make
dumping ground of the Portland mar
ket. But no Association apples, off
grade or frosted. will be allowed to go
to any market. At the present time
we are allowing no one to make ship
ments except from frost proof storage
plants, thus we will guard against just
such conditions as are prevailing in
Portland"
The Fruit Growers Exchange, too,
is refusing to allow any frosted fruit
to move bearing its labels.
81 am told by my Portland repre-,
sentaives, says Kenneth Mckay, "that
some Portland dealer came here and
bought some 5000 boxes of apples
picked from the ground. l was told
that this fruit was being sold from the
dock at very small price per box. D."

Dice Used in Routing Cars

With orders for more than 400 cars
outstanding. the Apple Growers Asso-
citation last Friday received one refrig-
orator car.
"To eliminate any chance of a charge
of favoritism, "says Wilmer Sieg. 1--WE
had to decide by shooting dice or some
other form of chance, which one of our
purchasers would get this car"
The Association Friday loaded out
seven ordinary box cars for Texas
points. The fruit will be handled by
way of Portland and California, al
though shipments to Texas, have never
been routed this way before. The cars
we're lined with thicknesses of tarred
paper. but no heating devices were
paced in them. Sales officials think the
fruit will arrive in good condition.

Fuel Shortage Worries

Accompanying the unprecedented
cold weather, fuel famine has worried
the people. Because of the prevailing
car shortage, many local householders.
accustomed to burning coal exclusively,
were caught with a meager supply of
fuel in their Easements. Only limited
supplies of coal have been received by
local dealers for the past several
weeks. Three weeks ago A. c. Lofts
reported 40 applicants for single car
of coal. At the present time those who
did not have the winters coal supply
have been forced to burn slabwood al
most exclusively. This fuel has been
available only in limited quantities.
The O.-W. r. & N. Co. has made
Hood River distributing point for the
supply of coal for mid Columbia sta
tions. In former years carload lots of
coal have been hauled to each station.
This year FIVE, 10 and Is bags are ship
ped out from here to the neighboring
towns as there is need for the fuel.

AUTOISTS HERE AFTER
BUCKING DEEP SNOW

Ed Davis, of Detroit. Mich, accom-
panied by his wife and W. J. Long and
Vernon Velliquette. the latter two men
also of Detroit. who passed through
the city last Thursday bound for Port
land by automobile over the Highway,
reported that he and his party several
days ago experienced trying hardsbips
on the summit of the Rockies near the
Idaho Montana state line.
1--WE struck fall of snow 20 inches
on the level at that point" said Mr..
Davis, "and of course the cuts were
filled with drifts. On one grade a mile
long. we had to shovel out the entire
distance in order to get our car over.
Our car was first and six big machines
followed. The work was all the harder
because we struck the grade at night,
and had to WELD our shovels in the
glare of our headlight. The icy wind
was penetrating, and our experience
of that night will not be soon forgot.
ten."
Mr.. Davis and his party are starting
on circle of the entire United States.
From Portland we will head south
to San Francisco, Los Angeles and San
Diego" says Mr.. Davis. "We will
cross the continent along the Mexican
border and visit at New Orleans. Co.
ing from there we will visit Florida
resort places and travel northward
along the Atlantic seaboard. We
haven't set any definite time for the
trip, but we are just going to take the
roads as we find them."
The big automobile carried complete
camping equipment, and despite the
extreme cold weather that has been
encountered, most of the nights have
been spent in the open. Mrs. Davis
carries pet monkey, Jack" the
mascot of the party. She says that the
zero weather has caused the simian to
be a close companion for the past sew
eral days, but Jack was so bold al

came for business and looked it. Sew
enty or hundred of them were on
horseback with their war paint on and
wearing eagle feathers galore. All
were armed. some with flint lock rifles
and others with bows and arrows.
Their tomtoms were beating. In about
three hours they returned leading three
cayuses. par value of the dead Indian.
An Indian will seldom steal from bis
own camp. don't recall ever hearing
of any such theft, and the Indians are
proverbially truthful among them
selves. In this connection | will say
that our early experiences fully dis
proved the old saying to the effect that
good Indian was dead Indian. As
a rule we found them honest and truth-
ful, and have never had reason after
all these years to change my mind.
They had every opportunity to rob US
of our outlying fruit and vegetable
gardens, but | never discovered that
they took advantage of the opportun-
ity. This is more than l can say for
some of their white brothers.
