.RlALTO OPENING
ATTRACTS CROWD
NEW STRUCTURE Is COMMODIOUS
Citizens From All Parts of Valley Crowd
Theatre on Opening Night
Long Queue Formed

| The Rialto theatre was opened Wed.
nesday night of last week amid scenes
| that might have been a duplication of
those around a metropolitan theatre
representing some ultra-popular show.
At O'Clock long line of citizens ar
rived in front of the new $40, 900 play
house and before the doors were
opened As minutes later a queue
reached the length of the block. Auto
mobiles were parked along the street
for several blocks in both directions.
The new showhouse, which will seat
200, was filled.
Numerous citizens celebrated the oc-
casion with theatre parties, and several
social affairs were held both before
and after the opening program Of the
new theatre.
Friends of the Hood River Amuse-
ment Co. and Manager and Mrs. Kol-
stad remembered them with many
handsome bouquets of flowers opening
night. The lobbies and appealing little
flower alcoves on each side of the
stage presented an array of Oregon s
most beautiful blooms.
The stage of the Rialto is 25X50 feet.
The big scenery loft is as complete as
that of any metropolitan theatre. The
rear of the building is several feet
higher than the rest of the structure.
in order to give plenty of space of
raising and lowering scenery. Tapes
try of the theatre, which has elected
much praise, was furnished by the
Franz Hardware Co. w. II. McClain
had charge of placing this item in
making ready the new playhouse.
The theatre is lighted from parch-
ment fixtures. The big ceiling fixture
is declared by the makers. the j. C.
English Co., to be the largest of its
kind ever manufactured The stage is
lighted with 500 bulbs. Various light
ing effects can be produced.
A. Ryan, of Seattle, was architect
on the new building, which was con-
structed by Baldwin & Swope. While
the structure is one of the most con-
venient of the city, every bit of space
is utilized. The lobbies are roomy,
and a women s rest room and lavatory
and mems smoking room are avail
able. A telephone booth makes it pos
sible for one to communicate with
friends or family from the theatre.
The seats of the new building are
The loge seats are es-
pecially attractive. They are finished
in blue Spanish leather.
The Rialto's first metropolitan pro-
duction, which it is declared, will be
followed by numerous others this win
ter, was the comic opera, Robin Hood,
presented Monday night The house
was fairly well sold out. Many par
ties journeyed here from Mosier, The
Dalles and White Salmon.

SPEAKER TALKS ON
WORLD DISARMAMENT

Richard Montague, Portland attor.
ney, addressed the Sunday Evening
Club of Riverside church Sunday even.
| ing on Disarmament and World
Peace" The congregation of Asbury
Methodist church, which recently
adopted a strong resolution on disarm.
ament, joined in the Sunday evening
meeting. A special musical program
was arranged
The big church auditorium was
crowded. Mr.. Montague S address was
scholarly one. He began by citing
the absolute necessity of world peace,
if civilization would be preserved. Mr.
Montague called attention to the enor.
nous tax burdens, weighing down the
necks of folk of all nations. Ninety.
six per cent of all the taxes collected
in the United States by the federal
government go to paying for past wars
or preparing for future wars. Even il
General Dawes were to do the imp0s-
sible, Mr.. Montague declared, and
slash the budget to the very bone, he
could eliminate but pitiful four per
cent of national taxation.
The race in ornaments, Mr. Mon
tague said, is making,it impossible for
European nations to pay the United
States their enormous debt. Their
expenditures for munitions and mill
tary preparations will sap their fnan-
cial power. Mr.. Montague cited how
the nations expenditures had in
creased by leaps and bounds. In 1881
it was $50 600, 600 while in 1921 it had
grown to $5, 500, 600, 600. In one year
the United States expenditures for
naval construction increased seven
fold. while England and Japan in
creased theirs each three fold.
Mr.. Montague contends that the ma
tion that prepares for war will get
war. He holds little faith in the prin-
ciple of armament as an insurance
against war, declaring that the great
war exploded this theory. He read
quotations Of great generals Of this
and other countries in support Of his
declaration.
Mr.. Montague declared that war
must cease, in view Of the fact that
any other great war will wipe out civ
ilizatiOn. Poison gasses have been de-
veloped to the point, according to
authentic reports of scientists, where
their use in war will wipe out towns
and cities, kill civilian populations and
render the soil infertile for seven
years. Not alone will soldiers fight in
future wars, but nations and all their
peoples will be drawn into the conflict.
Mr.. Montague pointed out as obsta-
cles TO world peace the contempt Of
men and women for foreign peoples. a
sense Of nationalism and
lack Of faith in the peoples of other
which. he declared, breed
suspicious and fear. This. he said, /
must be replaced by comradeship and
cooperation. Mr.. Montague expressed |
he belief that a league Of nations
would be the only instrument for
bringing about ultimate relief. He
declared the instrument must be posi- /
i've for cessation of war and not a /
mere something TO relieve some Of the |
.ruelties Of conflict. In conclusion Mr.. /
Montague sad:
Maybe those who say that human /
iature Is utterly selfish and that war /
% unavoidable are right. AS for me, /
would rather fight for the peace Of |
he world and fail than succeed in that i
which will ruin civilization. and all that /
neH hold dear.

SEATTLE TO HAVE
APPLE SHOW SOON

Fruit growers in the irrigated dis
tricts who are going with their ex-
hibits to the Pacific Northwest Fruit
Exposition in Seattle. November 2l-
26, may not be safe in assuming that
the competition is to be wholly among
themselves as to every kind and variety
of fruit on display. There are also
fruit growing districts on the west
side of the big hills that divide the
states of Washington and Oregon, and
the showing made at the recent west
ern Washington fair in PuvalIup was
certainly not one to be sneezed at.
OF course the apples grew larger under
irrigation, and scientific treatment of
soils develops remarkable results in
color and texture. But the western
slopes. which admit no rivalry in berry
culture, also produce some very fine
tree fruit, particularly apples and
pears, and the showing at Puyallup
was exceptionally fine. Practically all
of that display, and much more from
the west side districts. will be shown
at the Pacific Northwest Fruit Exposi-
tion, and competition will not be over
untilsthe judges say the word.
Distribution of points on which
awards will be made in the district
and collective displays has been deter
mined by the managmentEof the expos
ition. In the matter of superiority as
fruit 600 points will be allowed: for
advertising and commercial attractive
ness of display, 200 points, and for
beauty of the display from purely ar
tistic standpoint. 200 points, making
] 900 points in all. The judges as to
fruit will be we'll known experts whose
authority is above question. the adver-
tising and commercial attractiveness
will be passed upon by judges specially
qualified in those lines, and the artistic
excellence will be determined by the
art committee. The weight of author
ity remains, of course. with the fruit
judges; but growers generally are
learning more and more every year
that advertising values are not to be
and that the appeal to the
eye has a good deal to do with the
price of ther products. The 200 points
at the disposal of the art committee is
expected to be a big help in making
the exposition one of the most beauti-
full displays that has ever been given.

SHIPPERS RENEW
APPEAL FOR CARS

Apple shippers here last week end
began to appeal to p. F. +. and O.-W.
r. & N. officials for a heavier allot-
ment of refrigerator cars. 1t was de-
clared that blockade of warehouses
in all parts of the valley would result
this week, if the delivery of refriger-
ator cars was not speeded up. With
facilities for loading out 40 cars a day
the Apple Growers Association reported
an average of only Is cars per day.
Other shippers reported proportionate
small numbers.
Shippers expressed the fear that cold
weather might descend suddenly on the
district and necessitate the use of bus
mess block Easements and church
buildings for apple storage, as was
witnessed in 1919. The apple ship
ments of the valley up to last Satur-
day night reached 28l cars.

rights to the entire Hood River water
shed, announces that the formal decree

trict.
The power and lumber concerns will
appeal because of awards made to ir-
rigation concerns. The East Fork Ir-
rigation District. which gained all con-
tentions as against power concerns, an
nounces an appeal because of alleged
infringements Of its rights by other ir-
rigation concerns.

RAIL STRIKE
is IMPENDING
SITUATION is ALARMING SHIPPERS
Apples Being Loaded Here : Fast As
Cars Are Received Wal 6 love-
ment to be Utilzl Z

The impending railway u rike has
resulted in a feverish acti x on the
part of apple shippers to g as many
cars of their fruit as pos Sc to east
ern destination before ii = may be
tied up. In case the RS is not
averted. shippers may yct ar EN-.
barge on perishable freigf Slome time
before the actual strike. No intima-
tiOn, however, as yet has been re-
ceived by shippers or local rail Off
clals. Apple shippers express regrets
at their inability to get more refriger-
ator cars. They state that their aliot-
ments average % daily, whereas 40
could be loaded and moved OUT.
The strike situation is causing local
apple men tc look toward water ship
ments seriously. In case of a pro-
proposed here that apples be sent by
barge to Portland and then handled in
heavy tonnage to the Atlantic sea-
board by boat lines.
Approximately 20, 600 railroad en-
ployes in Oregon will be affected by
the threatened nationwide railroad
strike called to begin October 30. the
men to go out in groups progressively
and all to be on strike by November 2,
according to the 0regonian.
Among railroads in the first group
affected are the Southern Pacific and
the Northern Pacific This would
leave Portland open for traffic from
and to the east over the O.-W. r. &
N. and Union Pacific and the Spokane,
Portland & Seattle and Great Northern
until day or two later.
1.-The men are absolutely in earnest
about the matter and they voted in
good faith to go out on strike" said
Frank G. Hanly, secretary of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen in
Portland. There is no bluffing so far
as the intention to strike is concerned
if there is no settlement before Octo-
ber 30, either through the United
States government or the railroad ex-
ecutives themselves.
THE railroad executives themselves
will be responsible for the strike and
not the unions if October 80 comes and
there is no settlements. The railroad
executives were responsible for the IL
per cent cut of last July. which was
ordered by the labor board. The
railway employees are not so concerned
with this II per cent as they are with
other parts of the order which would
alter working conditions so materially
that the cut in effect would amount to
30 to 40 per cent. This is done by al
tering amounts of money for over
time"
The railroad employees of Oregon
voted 98 per cent in favor of the
strike, Mr.. Hanly said. The men on
all the Southern Pacific lines voted be-
tween 81 and 90 per cent. The entire
country voted between 81 and 90 per
cent, he said.

APPLES TO BE FREE
OF ANTHRACNOSE

Brilliant sunshine followed the rains
of Sunday and Monday. Apple pick
ing was already IS per cent completed
Within two days practically all of
the 1000 600 box tonnage will be in
storage houses. Packing has pro-
gressed rapidly the past few rainy
days. and a huge volume Of apples was
moved from individual and community
packing houses to shipping points.
Leroy Chlds says that Hood River
has never harvested an apple crop with
less rain than this year.s As result Of
this condition, he says, apples will not
suffer this season from the rotting
caused from anthracnose after apples
are stored. The anthracnose spores do
not become active until after the pro-
tracted rains have begun.
This year. with apples packed dry,
dealers win have no fear, saws Mr..
Childs, "of having their apples develop
this rot, w hich the past several years
has resulted in alarm to buyers and
growers alike.

The principal consideration which
caused n cut in the working forces
to be considered was the difficult mar
keting conditions at present existing.
Refining companies all over the u
try are finding the greatest difficulty
in disposing of their refined products.
The result of this siuggishness has
been the building up OF refined storage
to a high point. which is still on the
Increase. General business slackness
and a feeling that lower refined prices
may be reached probably o for
the slow movement OF refined stocks.
In view of this situation, there arose
the question as to whether it was ad-
visable to continue the construction of
new refining units. when the products
from h existing plant could not be
marketed. The final decision to con
