PUBLISHERS UNITE
 FOR OPEN SHOP

New York, May 6-Thirty-six news paper publishers from various parts of the United States organized the asso- citation of open shop publishers of Amer iCa here to "establish the principle of the open shop and maintain the freedom of the press"
 The new association will endeavor to extend its membership as rapidly as pos sible among newspapers which operate on the open shop principle.
 By an unanimous vote, the following officers were elected: President, Harry Chandler. the Los Angeles Times vice president, D. D. Moore, the New Or leans Times Picayune; secretary, E. ]. McCOne, and treasurer, C. A. Finnegan, both of the Buffalo Commercial
 All of the above newspapers have been non-union for a number of years, and the actions of these publishers are not surprising, especially that of the Los Angeles Times, and E. J. MCCone of the Buffalo Commercial, who IS one of the loudest spouters for the open-shop, and has been shown up in a number of in- stances as a rabid anti-union hater and falsiher, especially in regard to the Typographical union.

ADAMS HAS NO
VOLCANIC ACTION

A party of University of Chicago
geology students. who returned to
White Salmon Sunday after a week
spent in studying rock formations
around the base Of Mount Adams and
on the peak, report that no evidence of
any volcanic action was discovered in
connection with the huge slides occur
ing on the mountain late last winter.
"We spent two DAYS on the noun
tain, writes Richard Foster Flint. one
of the students, 'and the party has
come to the following conclusions :
That the slide in question is not a
mud flow, as stated in recent reports,
nor is it an eruption of any sort. That
the slide is merely an avalanche of
larger proportions than usual, consist
ing mainly of snow and ice. with a
good deal of mud and rock debris.
The avalanche originated in the rock
at the head of White Salmon glacier,
going through a notch in the narrow
divide between that glacier and Ava
lanche glacier, and down the path of
Avalanche glacier to point we'll be-
low the timber line. The glacier is
muddied and dirtied, and the trees at
the lower end are snapped short by
avalanche is perhaps five miles.
''The disturbances occurred, accord
ing to foresters, some time in Febru-
ary and was apparently caused by slip
ping at the head of the glacier, over
loading and consequent breaking off at
the cirque.

MASONIC PICNIC AT
LOCKS ON SUNDAY

Families of Masons of all valley
points and mid Columbia points at
tended the second annual picnic of the
Hood River Masonic Lodge at Cascade
Locks Sunday. AL of the $50 present
motored to the government grounds,
where about l.30 lunch was spread in a
grove within sound of the roaring Cas-
cades. Gallons Of steaming coffee were
prepared by Geo. Slocom. Ice
cream was served by Walter Walters.
Before lunch the members of the
party participated in sports, the climax
of which was tug of war between
rural and city teams. The latter, cap
taind by f. H. Blackman, was victor
of the city team, headed by G.. C. An
derson. After lunch a baseball team,
composed Of single men. defeated the
Unmarried men by score of 6 to 5.
Herman Kresse was captain of the
benediets and Vern Horne headed the
single men. The game was one of the
best seen around this section this year.

100000 BOXES
is APPLE ESTIMATE

A. w. Stone says that estimates of the
seasons apple crop for the valley,
based on observations of inspectors of
the Apple Growers Association who are
familiar with conditions in all parts of
the district, now place the tonnage at
an approximate 900, 600 boxes.
Certain weather conditions, such
aa a prolonged period of drouth," says
Manager Stone. ''might result in the
cutting of this tonnage to something
less than 1000, 600 boxes. While on
the other hand ideal growing weather
may result in the continued rapid siz-
ing of the fruit and bring us more than
the present estimate. If anything
think indications point to a swelling of
the estimate. Weather conditions now
are excellent. We have begun to have
extremely cool nights with hot days.
Heavy dews form at night. This cool
ing moisture is fine for the apples. -
Growers have begun the harvesting
of Bartlett pears, and daily quantities
of the fruit are delivered to cold stor-
age quarters of the Association. A
crew of pickers is at work on the
pears. While carlot quantities have
been assembled, the Association will
make no shipments until the eastern
markets are relieved of the congestion
of pears of other districts. where the
fruit ripens and is shipped earlier than
from local orchards. The Bartlett and
d Anjou pear crop of the valley will
approximate 100 carloads.

DAVIDSON BACK
FROM CONVENTION

H. F. Davidson, first Hood River ap-
Pile shipper to return from the cast af-
ter attending the International Apple
Shippers Association convention at
Cincinnati. says that the session, from
the standpoint of attendance has been
one of the most interesting ever held.
On the first day, Mr.. Davidson says,
the delegates seemed very enthusias-
tic. and it seemed that they were GO
ing to start apple sales rolling at
rapid rate.
"On the second day, however" Mr..
Davidson says, "the delegates seemed
less enthusiastic. When the third day
came around, the activity had all
burned out and it was apparent that
dealers were not in any way eager to
begin speculation on this seasons
apple CROP"
Mr.. Davidson says that with few ex-
ceptions dealers have lost money in ap-
pie speculations the past two years.
None of them. he declares, have any
desire, if funds were available for the
purpose. to buy heavy blocks of fruit
before the harvest. He predicts, how
ever, that sales will begin freely about
harvest time and that apples will roll
to consumption in steady stream.
He declares that growers at present
in most instances are holding their ap-
pies at figures higher than market con-
ditions will Justify.

M0SIER HAS FINE
CROP OF APPLES

An investigation throughout the
| Northwest, where cooperative fruit
sales agencies have been developed TO
point exceeding that Of most sections
of the country, will not reveal any or
ganization of apple growers working
along lines of more thorough coopera-
tion than the Mosier Fruitgrowers
Association. This cooperative institu-
tion handles 100 per cent of the fruit
produced in the Mosier valley orchards,
Wasco county's banner fruit section.
On September 20. according TO an
nouncement of X. ID. Chatfield, a
grower himself and veteran manager
of the Mosier Association, the growers
of the district will begin their third
season of harvesting their crop and
packing them through large com
munity packing house. Except for a
few growers, who are able to pack out
their small crops with help furnished
by their own families. the entire Mo
sier valley apple crop passes through
this community packing house equipped
with three big Cutler grading ma
chimes. b. II. Bretz, skilled both in
apple and orange packing. who for the
past two years has had charge of put
again taken the contract for the task
this year. He will import about Is
professional packers from California.
His crews spend the falls here in apple
harvest. They leave Immediately for
the south to re-enter citrus packing
houses. This system Of handling prac-
tically the entire crop Of the district
through a single standardized packing
house, results in a marked uniformity
Of grade, and, according to Mr. Chat
field. the trade has come 70 recognize
az standard a Mosier box Of apples.
The big plant of the MOsier associa-
tion, the second story Of which is
equipped for the packing crews. also
includes storage space for large por-
ton Of the crop. The building is so
located on the slope of the Columbia
gorge that wagons deliver the freshly
picked fruit on level with the second
story. As the apples are packed out
they are sent By gravity 70 the storage
chamber below. They can then be
loaded out to cars by use Of roller con-
veyors, thus eliminating much labor.
The MOsier apple crop this year is
showing up IN fine shape. The fruit is
well sized, clean from disease and al
ready is taking on the Characteristic
c0lors Of varieties in a marked degree.
The estimates range from l25. 600 to
$50 600 boxes. One Of the best looking

PINE GROVE
EVENT SUCCESS
HARVEST MOON FIESTA BEAUTIFUL
approximately 1000 Attend East Side
Event Billy and Ma Sunday
Active Workers

| With an approximate 1000 folk mo-
toring from every part of the valley
and sprinkling Of out of town parties
present, the Pine Grove Harvest Moon
Festival, staged last Thursday on the
lawns of the church and school house,
was voted the most successful and
pleasant community entertainment ever
held in the Hood River valley.
Old fashioned sports and two base
ball games characterized the after
Moons activities. Rev. and Mrs. Will
| liam A. Sunday, were active in the
days events. Mrs. Sunday had charge
of an Oriental tea room, where a bevy
of young girls sold confections and
served the merrymakers with tea.
Mr.. Sunday was ever the center of an
animated, laughing group. He UNI
pired two baseball games. one between
the married and single men, with the
former winning by score of l8 to 8.
The Odell Boy Scout team defeated the
Pine Grove Scout team. A swimming
contest was won by Kenneth Malloy,
while George Lage won diving
match.
The fiesta closed with musical and
literary programs. Bathed in the light
of one of the most brilliant harvest
moons ever beheld here, the scene.
amidst laden apple trees. was one of
appealing beauty.
Other winners of sports events were !:
William McElroy; relay race, Henry
Forsburg and Max Hanley: wheelbar-
row race, Geroge Lage and Max Han
ley; bilndfold race, Charles Lage.
Tony Mohr won the award for the best
groomed horse.
Chairman of committees in charge
of the successful affair were: Mrs.
James K. Clark, Russell A. McCully,
Mrs. j. E. Andrews, sEdw. w. Van
Horn and Mrs. Geo. Axtelle.

commissioner of the Fourth district of
Oregon. He is constantly engaged in
experimental work for the control of
diseases and insect pests. DIR. Macrum
several years ago determined by tests
on his place that the application of a
combination of Bordeaux mixture and
miscible oil would control many fruit
pests. He is now engaged on other
sprays, which, it is said, will be of
great benefit not only to the growers
of his own district but to orchardists
of all parts of the state.
Mosier has developed nationwide
reputation for the eXcellency of its
Italian prunes, shipped green to nu-
merous metropolitan markets. While
the crop of prunes this season will
reach only about five carloads. the size
and quality are better than normal
due to the small numbers on each tree.
The prune orchards are still showing
the effects of the damaging freeze of
1919.
The prune harvest of the district is
now under way. Before the war
prunes were packed neatly and with
much effort. During the period of
hostilities, while labor was scarce, a
system of ''suitcasing" prunes was de-
veloped. Peach boxes, set in doubled
rows, edgewise and with one side
knocked off, were filled directly from
the lug boxes of the piekers. The
sides were nailed on the end and the
boxes were ready for shipment. The
system has had the approval of the
trade and this economical method of
handling the districts prune harvest
continues.
Mr.. Chatfeld says he hasn't in many
years seen as many prospective or
chard laborers available as this season.
Numbers of families apply at the asso-
citation offices weekly, he says. The
harvest of this year, according to indi-
cations, will be about week earlier
than normally. 1t will take about go
days to pack out the districts apple

LOCAL HUNTERS SEA-
son NOT YET OPEN

Receiving reports that the forests
around Mount Defiance in this county
fairly swarmed with hunters, Sheriff
Johnson Tuesday summoned aid from
Deputy Game Warden Hadley, Of The
Dalles. The local hunters, Mr.. John
son thinks, have been confused because
of press reports announcing the open
ing of hunting season west of the Cas-
cades. The local season does not open
until September ].
cit be may, too, says Sheriff john
son, that hunters starting m on the
other side Of the mountain have peEe-
trated this county without knowing
they have crossed the border. Any
how, according to reports. there was a
fair fusilade in the woods up around
Green Point.

CREAMERY INTERESTS
WASHINGTON FOLK

Planning the participation of ranch
ers Of Klickitat county, Wash, in an
expansion Of the of the plant here,
Manager W. NJ. Black and members of
the directorate of the Hood River
Creamery have visited ranchers of the
neighboring Washington section the
past week. The Washington growers,
who for more than a year have been
shipping increasing quantities of cream
here each week, express friendliness
toward the creamery and many of
them are signing for blocks Of stock.
The Hood River Creamery has made
q steady growth for the past four
years. With a monthly output Of 90
600 pounds of butter, the creamery has
outgrowu the plant now occupied. The
creamery is now making twice as
much butter as for the same period a
year ago.
