history when state wide prohibition
was adopted. In 1889, when South Da-
kota was admitted to the union. a pro-

Very drastic Is the communicating
by the government OF all the new ships
under construction In American ship
yards. But happily the president
was not forced to do this under his
war powers; congressional sanction
for the act had been granted Iii a federai
statute. 1t was a vitality necessary inter-
ference with ordinary business, as was
shown by the British governments
hearty cooperation in approving the
transfer OF Its own contracts, a~ggregat-
ing I,000,O 900 tons OF new shipping, to
the United States government. OF
course, the two governments have q
complete understanding as to the fu-
stnre use of these yessels. BY command
eering them in the yards. the United

.RANLEY EXPRESSES
LOYALTY TO FLAG

He is of German parentage and his
use of the English language would
make envious any German comedian
who might overhear some of his vio-
lent bits of conversational outburst, but
Chris Ranley, pioneer shoemaker of
this city is native born American and
no man of Oregon is prouder of it.
The old man, who crossed the plains in
1867, used to take pride in telling of
his highborn German ancestors, but to-
day Chris Ranley expresses shame
for the fatherland of his parents.
When the great European war first
began the old shoemaker was pro-
nounced pro-German. He made daily
pilgrimages to the postofice and the
drugstore across the street from his
shop to engage in conversation and de-
termine the course of the war for the
day. Mr.. Ranley is very serious
minded and has often been the brunt
of practical jokers. One day one of
the boys at the drugstore told the old
man that the Germans had taken Pc
runa. He declared it a new town to
him, but stated that he would return
and look it up in his atlas. When
someone explained the joke, the aged
shoemaker felt hurt, declaring in his
broken talk that his pretended friends
were taking too much levity with him.
He ceased his calls for war converse.

ASSOCIATION
VOTES PURCHASE
UNION MEMBERSDECISION DELAYED
Concerns at Annual Meetings Propose
Transfer Of fStOraee Property
Elects Three New Directors

With an almost unanimous vote the
members of the Apple Growers Associ-
alton Saturday authorized their board
of directors to purchase the sentire
properties of the old Hood River Apple
Growers Union, which ceased active
distribution and sale of fruit in 1913,
when the Association was organized
from an amalgamation of all Hood
River shipping concerns. Under the
terms of the purchase of the proper
ties, consisting of storage plants, ware
houses, city lots and water power
system, the latter valued at $40, 900 the
minimum sum of $4,000 will be paid
annually on principal, and stockholders
of the Union will receive par and ac-
erued seven per cent interest since
June !, 1918, on the 4700 shares of
stock, of $40 share, outstanding.
The total value of all the organiza-
tons property is placed at approx
mately $4,000.
Whether the sale will be consummat-
ed rests with the results of vote
taken by stockholders of the Union,
the annual meeting of which organiza-
tion followed the Association meeting.
The Union ballot will be left open
for two weeks, in order to give as many
shareholders as possible an opportunity
to vote on the proposition. While it is
conceded that the majority of the stock
will be voted for the sale, strong OPP
position was evidenced at Saturday af-
ternoon's meeting for the most part by
small minority that failed to affiliate
with the Apple Growers Association.
following the withdrawal of the Union
as marketing concern.
Sensations were not lacking at the
Union meeting. R. d. Smith accused
A. |. Mason, one of the most outspoken
of those opposing the sale on the terms
proposed, Of taking his stand for the
purpose of creating an embarrassment
for the Association.
The Association voted to establish for
five years a fund, for the purchase of
supplies and otherwise financing men,
hers, through an assessment of one
cent per box on apples, pears and
straw wberries, on which an annual ham
ding charge of ten cents is made, and
a proportionate charge for all other
packages of fruit carrying less ham
ding charge. Such fund raised last
year for the one season amounted to
$1l, 300. The organizations bylaws
were also changed so that membership
can be transferred with the land. The
rules of the Association, prohibiting
one year members from participating
in dividends were made more stringent
by the meeting.
Directors were named as follows:
E. w. Birge P. S. Davidson. W. B.
Dickerson, A. G. Lewis ]. R. Nuna-
maker, 0. B. Nye, j. c. Porter, E. H.
