Hulswitt's HubbeH Kept Them

Johnnie Nee's Kaws were out today
to take the rubber game of the open

that Thursdays 10 to defeat was
just the result of an off day. Every
member of the club feels that Thurs

the second inning when the Miners

in placing most of them where the

Only once during the game was

The game was not as spectacular as
the opener. and. of course. not as sat-

couple of nice catches in left field and
Brandt made a one handed aerial
catch on a liner hit by Cleveland on
which he got a double play by catch

completed by Joplin. one by Brandt

LEADING EXPRESS
COMPANIES MERGE

Further information was received
last week by r. E. Johnson, local
manager of the American Express Co.,
in regard to the consolidation of the
express organizations under the guild
ance of Director General McAdoo The
new company, says Mr.. Johnson, will
be capitalized at $50, 000 000, the actual
value Of the physical properties and
cash put into the business. Instead Of
having numerous contracts with lndi-
vidual railroads for various amounts,
there will be but one blanket contract
W th the entire government controlled
railroads BY this contract, the Amer
lean Express Co. will collect, insure,
guard and deliver express shipments,
as in the past and the government
railroads will Ma them The rates
charged for express transportation will
continue to be under government con-
troll.
How the general reorganization will
work out for the benefit of the ship
ping public is tentatively outlined in
an interview given out by Geo. C..
Taylor, former president of the Amer
lean Express and now president Of the
new consolidation
Hereafter the express companies
will eliminate the individual identity
which has separated them for the last
three quartres of a century and offer
to the government and to their Joint
patrons a unified, single express ser

BARNES CIRCUS BEST
EVER SEEN HERE

1t is likely that Hood River people
have seen their last circus for many
days, perhaps until the equipment Of
big tops is transported by aeroplanes.
As result of the steep grades Of
Hood River streets the Al G. Barnes
circus, here last week, all but missed
its schedule at The Dalles. Arriving
late from Pendleton the circus team
sters were delayed again when con
fronted by the steep streets. The herd
of elephants and local motor trucks
were pressed into service in getting he
heavy stake wagons to the ball park.
1t was four O'Clock in the afternoon
before the big top was stretched.
Despite the delays, however, the show
gave its belated afternoon perform
ance and the regular evening show.
The task of getting the heavy Wag-
ons back to the O.-W. Il. Il N. tracks
proved a more trying one than that Of
making the pull up the steep streets.
Brakes and iron shoes beneath wheels
failed to hold the heavy wagons, and it
was necessary to make a long detOur
to the west of the city, 1t was 645
the next morning before the last of the
heavy wagons was loaded aboard the
cars here.
The All G. Barnes circus was decid
edly the best ever seen in Hood River.
Under favorable circumstances the
marvellous trained animal features
must be much better.
The circus men, despite the trying
conditions confronting them here, We're
courteous to everyone. The unpleasant
roWdyism that 50 often characterizes
circus day was not noted here last
week, when the Al G. Barnes show
! was in town.

GOVERNMENT FRUIT
ESTIMATES GIVEN

Robert L. Ringer. ted assistant If
the Portland Bureau Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture. las
given the following unofficial fruit
crop estimates
Outside Of the Hood River district
apples appear to have blo0med very
lightly and consequently have SET 81
very light crop Of fruit. Consl slderable
frost damage has been done the crop
in some sections.
At present il appears probable that
the Hood River crop Will be s0mev hat
in excess Of the I.2la,000 boxes esti-
mated as the amount Of the 1871 crOp.
The crop Of western tircIudilg south
ernl Oregon was estimated at zoo car
loads a short time ago. Present cOndl-
tlons Indicate that this estimate is too
high, and 800 to coo carloads viii most
likely cover the western Oregon pro-
ductiOn. Transportation companies re-
port GAS carloads of the 1917 crop
moved in western Oregon.
The peach crop Of the state general
ly speaking was practically killed by
early April frosts. Some localities re-
port possible 25 per cent Of normal
crop, but most sections say not enough
for home demands
The pear crop appears to be in bet.
ter condition than any of the other
fruit crops, excepting perhaps. the
prune crop. In localities where both
apples and pears are grown there is a
much better set Of pears than Of ap-
Piles. Some new orchards are coming
into bearing and the total pear pro-
duction will probably be not far from
that Of last year.
The dried prune crop Of the Pacific
Northwest for 1917 has been deter.
mined through packers at about 26.-
600, 900 pounds. This includes 5000
coo pounds in Clark county, Wash. and
about /, ZOO, 900 in eastern Washington
and western Idaho. The 1917 Oregon
crop therefore, was about %, 600, 900
pounds. Present indications are that
the 1918 crop will be about the same
as that Of 1917. Southern Oregon
districts suffered materially from
frost injury, but the willamette valley
crop is considerably better than last
year.
The 1917 Oregon commercial cherry
crop was estimated at about 4, 200 tons.
A very hight crop is reported in most
sections for 1918. Present indications
are that this year crop will be about
one-half Of the production of last year,
or 1900 to 2, 500 tons.

There is considerable discussion re-

IN the war workers who have come
to Washington, and covering them In.
to the Service as was done after the
Spanish war, without requiring them
Ia pass an examination. But the fact
Is that those war workers OF 1898
were temporary appolntees, not fur
nished by the civil war commission.
In this war. with the exception OF tho
food and fuel administrations and the
council of national defense, which hive
themselves been considered temporary
organizations, oil appointments have
been made from the commissions reg
isters, and II there are no names on
the registers the appointees are given
only temporary status until they
have passed an examination. Whether
the latter are to be covered into the
service or not, Is an open question.
