ASSOCIATION CASE
HEARING FRIDAY

Attorney E. C. Smith, representing
the plaintiff corporation in the case of
the Hood River Orchards Co. VS.. the
Apple Growers Association. Monday
afternoon filed reply to the defendant
sales agency's answer to its complaint,
and the case, in which approximately
800 growers of the valley as Associa-
tion members are defendants, will be
heard before Judge Bradshaw tomor-
row.
Because of involving practically the
entire local fruit interest, no local case
has ever created more universal in
terest. Because of the prominence of
H. F. Davidson, chief owner of the
plaintiff company, in the fruit world at
large, the case has been watched by
other districts.
determinations of the defendant con.
Germs answer to the complaint, and
the plaintiffs reply of Monday have
created senations. The answer alleged
that the suit was brought through Mr..
Davidson for the purpose of harrassing
the cooperative sales agency and get
ting control of all valley storage plants
for his own purposes.
Mr.. Davidson recently withdrew his
tonnage from the Association and an,
bounced that he would ship his own ap.
Piles and limited amount of neighbors
through a new company he had just
organized. The Association answer
characterized this action as breach OF
faith and in violation of a contract
with the cooperative organization.
The reply to this is that Mr. David
sons company's members withdrew
from the Association to prevent tota
loss of all properties. According t
the reply, the orchard lands are heavily
mortgaged. 1t is alleged that earning!
from the Association have been negli
gible and that the action of Withdrawal
was one of self preservation. The
manner of handling the fruit by thu
Association is characterized as extra
VACANT, incompetent and wasteful. L
is also declared that the defendant
company has made deductions from tht
fruit sales that are unreasonably ex
cessive.

CANNING AND DRYING
BEANS AND RHUBARB

Whenever practicable, the housewife
should dry her winter supply of fruits
and vegetables and the following sug
gestions may be of assistance in two
very valuable articles of food that are
usually canned.
String beans should be prepared as
for cooking and then dried in the sun
or warming oven. They will keep
nicely all winter and are very delicious
but they must be soaked over night
before using. By parboilIng the beans
before drying, they require less cook
ing afterward.
Rhubarb should be cut into short
lengths and dried in the sun or warm
ing oven.
For canning rhubarb cut into pieces
II inches long, scald one to two min,
utes and cold dip, then pack tight in
sterilized jars. Three pounds will fill
a quart jar. Make syrup of one cup
sugar and ! cup water. This will be
sufficient for one quart. Fill crevices
with syrup, put on cover, partially
tighten and sterilize 20 minutes.
When rhubarb, late in the season,
becomes tough and fibrous, the juice
may be extracted for jelly making

THE GREATEST AUTHORITY
 ON ALASKA FOUND YET

Of all the extraordinary authorities on Alaska the greatest is Dr. Fred M. Spiers, United States Commissioner for the Second district of Alaska" This wonderful medicine man tells some facts in the Butte Miner of March as follows:
 Hunters Hot Springs, March T. Tales rivalling those portrayed in Rex Beach's Spoilers and painting a glowing picture of Alaska are being told around Hunters Hot Springs these days by Dr. Fred M Spiers, United States commissioner for the second district of Alaska. Dr. Spiers, wear ing Russian sable cap and the regi- mental shoe equipment, arrived here Sunday to take treatment for sciatic rheumatism.
 It takes the commissioner a whole year to make the round trip from Ochotzgac where the gov ernment mission is established He says the way to pronouce the name of the place is by a simple sneeze. It is located in the far north over 1900 miles from Nome and to get there sev- eral different kinds of journeyings are necessary. Leaving Nome he travels on the White Pass & Yukon railway to the Yukon river, thence a canoe trip to the mouth of that stream takes the traveller to the Koyukuk river, whence to gets to the land of the Esquimo. The last $50 miles of the journey is made via dog team and this can be made at only certain seasons of the year when the ice is formed.
 Dr. Spiers has to cross Chilcoot pass in getting to the base, where he has been for the past 21 years. He says this is his first trip to this coun- try during that time. He scouts some of the claims made by Steffanson, the explorer ,and declares that Dr. Cook has great deal to learn about scaling Mt. Mckinley.

BACHELORS SCORE OVER REGULARS
 FOUR TO THREE

The first game of the 1917 Base ball season which was scheduled to take place at four o'clock yesterday af- ternoon, was delayed till 4:30 on ac- count of the tide, but in the seven innings that followed the interest of the crowd was not allowed to lag for an instant.
 The game was fast and replete with good plays on both sides, the players showing good form for the little prac tice they have had, but the regulars
 were forced to take back seat when the Bachelors started in to hit, knock ing the ball all over the field. R. Min nich, pitcher for the Regulars was re- placed in the fourth inning by Gloomy Grandstrum, who, it is claimed, is real ly Bachelor
 The first run of the season was brought in for the regulars by Let itch, which started the ball arolling. The Bachelors then scored three runs ! in the fourth inning, two were brought in for the Regulars in the fifth, making
 the end of the fifth inning tie. It had been proposed at first to play on- iy five innings but to deci1e the tie, ! two more were played and during the ! last half of the seventh Grandstrum, the Regular pitcher walked man with i the bases full forcing the odd run for i the Bachelor team.
 To add little color to the occasion Tea was served to the Bachelors in the fourth inning by Jimmy the cook and it was after receiving this nourish- ment that the Bachelors fell on the opposing Pitcher with reckless aban- don and drove him to cover.
 Batteries for the Regular were Ed. Williams, catcher. Roy Minnich, and Grandstrum pitchers; Bachelors, Stott catcher, and Erickson, pitcher.
 Altho the boys could not be expect ed to be second Ty Cobbs so early in the season, after having been off the diamond all. winter, (some of them, to appearances never having seen one) did not win altogether by their own prowess, but rather to some very bad errors or "bonehead plays on the part of the opposing pitchers.
 By yesterdays victory the Bachelors established their reputation and will challenge the Metlakatla team some time this week to game to be played on the local grounds next Sunday.

Charged With Theft Of Auto Tires
Motorists Warned.

An appeal to motorists to keep the
numbers Of the tires on their machines
was issued today by Detective James
Springman. head of the police automo-
bile squad. He pointed out that the po-
lice frequently recover tires, which they
believe were stolen. but which cannot
be returned because many persons who
report their tires missing do not know
the numbers on them.
With the arrest today Of Daniel W.

police say they recovered six tires, val
ued at, approximately. $500. According
to the police, the tires belong to the

Rivers was employed. Detectives Hugh

Rivers, say the tires were recovered
from persons to whom they had been
