TEACHERS WELL
GO TO PORTLAND

Many of the teachers of this county
will 20 to Portland next week to at
tend the annual convention of the Ore
gon State Teachers Association.
Organization in all its phases has
been very widely aRitated among teach
ers during the past year. The Associ-
alton has been making a strong mem.
bership campaign among members of
the state, resulting in a 100 per cent
membership in at least "a counties, and
in very great increase over last
years enrolment which amounted to
3, 600 and was larger than that of any
previous year. TIE National Educa-
tlonal Association Is also working more
actively for membership among class
room teachers than ever before in its
history, employing this year field
secretary assigned to duty on the Pa
citic coast. The American Federation
of Teachers has had organizers on the
coast during the past few months and
has chartered many teachers unions as
result.
A further organization Of the State
Teachers Association is the best means
for combating any movement toward
teachers union affiliated with the
American Federation Of Labor.

general levies of last year, Hood River
county will raise the record high tax

TOLL CHARGE
IS PROTESTED
5 NTlMENT Is FAIRLY UNANIMOUS
Fl t Rate Increase Would Be Acceptable
Public Service Commission TO
Be Asked TO Act

Sentiment is shaping TO the point
where il seems likely that a concerted
move will be taken by representatives
of all districts and elements of River
Valley in opposition to the five cent
toll charge recently granted by the
Public Service Commission of the Ore
goa-W ashington Telephone Co. on all
calls between the Hood River and
Odell exchanges. The toll charge is
declared a discrimination against the
pc ,ple of Odell. 1t is generally admit
ted that the concern needs an increased
revenue, in order to meet an increase
of maintenance, but. patrons of the
concern argue, the earnings should be
secured by fiat advance, as has been
put into effect on all other branches of
the service, instead of toll charge.
A movement TO secure readjust-
m Mt of the increased telephone rates
has been initiated by the citizens of
the 0dell district Residents of other
rural districts have joined in the pro-
te t against the toll, and merchants of
h cd River state they Will join a Pc
III on for removal of the toll charge.
1t IS likely that petition, signed fair
ly unanimously by orchardists and bus
in SIS men, will ask that the increase
OF rates for the 0dell patrons of the
te aphone line be raised by fiat in
CT ase on each service connection in
stead of the toll charge. BY such
un nanimous action it is expected that
the Public Service Commission will
give the case an early consideration.
One Of the arguments of the tele.
pl )ne company for toll charge be-
tween the Hood River and Odel! lines
WIS that it would eliminate trivial
calls and would thus enable the system
to carry on its service, now overloaded,
with the existing trunks. Some of
those who protest the toll charge have
81 ygested that limit of five minutes
b. put on calls between the two ex-
changes.

who was present at the hearing one
day. says the shippers presented mass
of strong and conclusive evidence in
support of their contention that the
rate will be discriminatory as applied
to apples.
The apple shippers are asking that
the action of the Commission, if their
plea is granted. be made retroactive,
enabling them to collect back over
charges. While the increased rates
went into effect over year ago,
compromise was allowed temporarily.
limiting the incresse to 10 per cent
where the former rate was 81 or more,
but IN no case was this To be less than
81. 10. In other words, no concession
was granted shippers whose old rate
was greater than Sill per hundred.
The compromise rate automatically
ceased May 81. 1919.
Briefs will be prepared by both COM
plainants and representatives Of the
Railway Administration, J. d. VIII
son, of Portland, and j. Curtiss Robin
son. of Seattle, are representing the
fruit shipping interests. A feature of
the meeting in Portland last week was
that the compliments pointed out that
while the increase in freight rates ap-
piled to lumber. the maximum per 100
pounds was only 5 cents per pound as
compared with 25 cents on apples the
maximum allowed on grain per 100
pounds was only 8 cents.
Other increases under the order which
were cited to show that the rates ON
apples are discriminatory were as fol-
lows: Cotton, Is cents per 100 pounds !;
live stock not to exceed maximum of
cents per 100, and not to exceed SIS
per car, whereas the increase per car
for apple shippers is S93.5 So The com
plainants also showed how heater and
refrigerator car service has been ma
terially increased in addition to the
general freight rate.
The increased rate on deciduous fruit
other than apples was also 25 per cent.
or equal to 81 cents per 100 pounds for
all shipments to points east of the
Mississippi river.
Other evidence presented at the hear
ing was statistical crop reports for 1919
which estimates the apple crops of Or
egon, Idaho. Washington and Montana
at 9,246, 600 barrels, or 27, 73S, 600 boxes,
while the total production of apples in
all the states Of the Union, by barrels.
is 4,4l6. 600.

BETTER REFRIGER-
ATOR SERVICE ASKED

While all the cars that can be loaded
are available here at present. shippers
are urging the allotment of further
rolling stock to take care of the heavy
shipments of apples that must be made
as soon as weather conditions permit
transportation to settle back to normal.
The matter, it is stated. has again
been drawn to the attention of Ore
gon's congressional delegation and the
congressman have been asked to pre-
sent the pleas Of shippers to railway
administration officials.
Since the embargo was lifted Thurs
day Hood River has shipped as cars of
apples. A blockade on the Mount Hood
railroad prevented routing Of cars from
the numerous warehouses until the first
of the week.

WaSCO Peaches Hurt

While sap was SO low in apple trees,
except possibly in a few tracts that
had been heavily nitrated, that the
twigs did not freeze during the recent
Unprecedented cold weather, the loss to
peach orchardists will be heavy in the
mid Columbia. according to reports.
Agricultural Agent Fluharty. of Wasco

peach, apricot and cherry trees were
killed. The blanket of snow, he says,
will save many of the trees. Mr.. Flu
harty reports hundreds of sacks of po-
tatoes frozen in his county.

PASSING OF THE PARLoR

Thousand of homes are now under
construction in all parts Of the United
States and Judging by those noticed
at home, or read of in the newspapers
and pictured in the magazines, the
old-time parlor is not cnsidered es-
sential any longer. No matter how
big the house or how wealthy the
owners, there seems to be no corner
provided or allowed for "parlor" and
in furnishing the house the dealers
also appear to have hidden away the
old-time stuff that used to be looked
upon with awe by the children and
regarded with special care and atten-
ton by the grown-ups. In some OF
the older houses the parlor still de-
mands special respect and this is
probably true of many homes In the
North and East. There is the closed
door, the drawn blinds and the dusty
smell that comes of place general
ly closed, and people ushered I'M feel
very much tempted to sit on the
edge of the chairs and to get away as
soon as the formal call is completed.
