membership with the Association on
March 20, last. Because of this action
the defendant sales agency contends
that rights of participating in the Or
ganization's surplus funds were for
teited. The complaint asks for a
permanent injunction to prevent the
Association from the purchase of the
Union plants, according to plans adopt
ed by practically unanimous vote of
the members of both the Union and
Association just before the suit was
brought.
The Associations answer to the
plaintiff corporations complaint re-
views the entire history of the Associ-
alton, which in 1918 was organized with
total capital stock of $4,000, of
which $6500 was apportioned to the
Hood River Apple Growers Unoin and
$3500 to the Davidson Fruit Co. The
storage plants of the Union and the
Davidson Co. were leased, each for a
term of 10 years. The brands of both
shipping concerns were released to the
Association. The next year the capital
stock of the organization was returned
by the lessons of the storage plants
and put in trust fund for the benefit
of all grower members of the Associa-
tion. When the original leases were
executed, according to the allegations,
Mr.. Davidson, president and manager
of the Davidson Fruit Co., gave the
Association a contract that he would
not enter into the sale of fruit in the
Hood River valley during the term of
| the lease. 1t is the contention of Mr..
Davidson that this contract was re-

HEARING in FRUIT
CASE IS CONCLUDED

The circuit court hearing in the case
of the Hood River Orchard Company
VS.. the Apple Growers Association was
brought to close Monday afternoon,
when attorneys delivered their oral ar
guments before Judge Bradshaw, of
The Dalles. Testimony in the case
was concluded Saturday afternoon.
Attorneys for the Association are
Fred W. Wilson, of The Dalles, and A..
E. Clark, of Portland. K. C. Smith
and H. S. Wilson, the latter of Port
land, represent the plaintiff concern.
Judge Bradshaw has taken the case
under advisement, but decision at an
early date is expected.
No Hood River lawsuit has ever cre-
ated keener interest. The suit in
volving as passive defendants the ap-
proximate 800 local apple growers,
who are members of the Association,
has caused the court room to be filled
despite the busy season.
The suit was bought for the purpose
of restraining the defendant sales Or
ganization from making any distribu-
tion of a surplus fund of $8l, 900 and
from using any part of it in the pur.
chase of the storage plants and other
property of the old Hood River Apple
Growers Union. The plaintiff concern,
owned chiefly by H. F. Davidson, can
celled its contract and severed its

voked the next year, when he returned
to the Association the Davidson Fruit
Company's portion of the capital stock
of the Association.
At the time the Association was
founded the cooperative concern nego-
tiated the purchase of the $65, 900 stor-
age plant of the National Apple Co.,
on the purchase price of which sub
stantial payment has since been made.
1t is contended by the counsel for the
defendant concern that the suit virtu-
ally calls for the liquidation of this
property and all other assets. and that
if the plaintiff contentious are
granted it will render the Association
a mere brokerage concern without the
power to hold properties Of any kind.
Through the testimony presented by
the. Associations attorneys it was
shown that Mr.. Davidson, as one of
the originators and directors of the
Association participated sactively in
the affairs of the cooperative organiza-
tion which he is now questioning by
his suit.

SENIOR CLASS WILL
GIVE GREEN STOCKINGS

The play "Green Stockings" will be
presented by the senior class under the
direction of Miss Edith Baker, at the
high school auditorium on Wednesday
evening, May 20, at 8 O'Clock. The
play is based on an old custom in
which the older unmarried sister must
wear green stockings at the wedding
of her younger sister. Owing to this
custom and the embarrassment of the
family in attempts to marry off the
older sister, many amusing complica-
tions arise.
The elder sister in an attempt to
relieve the family of their embarrass-
ent in respect to her, let's her imagina-
tion run and imagines herself engaged.
She is caught in her own fabrications
however.
The cast for the play is:
Cecilia, the oldest daughter, Helen
Carson.
Phyllis, the youngest daughter, Tia
Nichols.
Madge, Lady Rockingham, Frances
Castner.

Men Thought Bootleggers Released

they arrested Ed Crew and Howard

bia northwest of the city. Each man
carried big bag on his shoulders, and
in each bag was 10 gallon demijohn.
While the demijohns were empty they
smelled strongly of whiskey.
The suspicious of the officers were
aroused, Marshal Carson says, by re-
maks they heard dropped around the
city and by frequent visits of local men
to the west part of town. The officers
express the belief that they would have
been able to apprehend the operators
in actual bootlegging, if they had been
an hour earlier in their reconnoitre.
1t is thought that the men have
brought their supplies here by river
boats.
Edwards and Crew were released
from the city prison Tuesday morning
