Nariably fatal to adults, they said.
Blasko was taken to the hospital
from his residence on Beach street
Sunday night, suffering from mall

it was evident some sort Of brain
trouble caused his condition. A high
temperature was maintained
throughout his illness. and it began
to mount steadily yesterday after
noon. At o'clock it was 105. An
hour later it had risen to 112, or
higher, and it remained above that
figure until after o'clock. Then i

StOOpS Ready for Parker Again

Collie Stoops. who last week wa:
knocked out by blow to the nose ap'
piled by X. o. Parker, The Dalles
negro, says he will fight the colored
lad here in the near future. Stoops,
who was favorite in the ring against
the negro says he played in bad luck.
he declares that Parker is good fair
fighter, but that he allowed his own
guard to drop when he thought the
referee had called for break away in
clinch.
The Dalles Chronicle, telling of the
fight, says:
The semi-windup between Shade
Parker. of this city, and Collie Stoops,
of Hood River, was interesting while
it lasted, Stoops having the better of
the milling up to the time he stopped
one of the colored boys powerful left
handed wallops with his chin. The
boys weighed in at l52 pounds each.
The first round opened with both
boxers fiddling for an opening, Stoops
suddenly clipping the dusky battler
with snaky right to the head.
4 The latter was wary but willing and
took the punishment meted out to him
without showing the slightest distress.
The round was featured by several
rapid exchanges, mostly verbal, during
which Stoops was heard to inform his
that he had mighty hard
head" Parker received this informa-
ton with sunny southern smile. and
continued the engagement unruffled.
Both boys showed cleverness, but it
was Stops round. In all the boys
swapped eight solid punches during the
period.
Pat Foley was the bird that emu
lated that other little bird, and whis-
pered into the ears of both boys during
the intermission, to the effect that ac-
tions speak louder than words and that
was the sort of conversation the spec
tators had paid to see.
Stoops led the fighting in the second
round, with a confident smile, but in a
fast exchange Parkers left found his
chin, and hewent down to defeat still
smiling.
Parker stood over his victim with
look of surprise, and the general opin-
ion seems to be that while be earned
his victory he probably was the most
surprised person in the building.

DUCKWALL MAKES
MARKET SUGGESTIONS

John c. Duckwall says that the sys-
TEN of cash buying, in his estimation,
will grow in favor in future years.
''This is the first year, says Mr..
Duckwall, that we have been work
ing on the basis of buying strictly for
cash. This system of doing business is
coming in favor more and more each
year, as evidenced by the fact that our
volume of business this season is near
! ly double that of last year.
1--WE find, however, that the person
al visits that William S. Duckwall is
able to make to members of the trade
in the middle west every 60 days, and
our advertising and featuring the prin-
cipal varieties of this section are Gre
ating a demand that is more than
| equalling our increased shipments.
| We expect to handle over 130 cars this
season. We have also opened up a
number of good markets in the south,
where we have done very little bust
ness in the past, and next year we ex-
pect a real demand in some sections
where we only shipped a few cars this
season. We have made a specially of
the Spitzenburg, the Golden Ortley,
the Newtown Pippin and the Arkansas
Black. This will be of benefit not only
to ourselves but to any shipper from
this district. Whereas the advertising
Of some particular brand without spe-
ializing variety is of small benefit to
anybody.
Another factor that will help ship
pers is the raising of the standard of
quality OF apples shipped, thereby in
cTeaslng the demand. The new state |
inspection law makes it possible for |
any shipper to have cars inspected and |
certified to as to quality, if the grade |
is high. Most of our shipments this |
season have gone out under this certi-
fication, and we find that dealers at |
the other end appreciate this and we
are given the preference when it comes
to competitive bidding. If our per-
centage of culls, C-grade and five tier
apples is reduced to minimum the
growers of this valley will find that
every year will be profitable one
This year was an exceptional one. Be-
cause of the short crop in the east, the
decreased buying power of the public
and general depressed conditions the
C-grade product was in demand be-
cause it was cheap. In ordinary sea-
sons, the east, our big market, wants
only large, God quality fruit, and we
will always be in the market for fruit
of this class.

Express Rates Are Equalized

sRecently, Oh an appeal for coopera-
tion from the Chamber of Commerce
at Bend, the Hood River Commercial
Club appealed to the Interstate Com
merce Commission to secure an equal
ization of freight rates between here
and Bend and White Salmon and Bend.
Under old express tariffs it cost 26
cents, per 100 pounds, more to ship
apples from here to Bend than from
White Salmon. The local and Bend
commercial bodies sought to have the
Hood River rate lowered to that of
White Salmon.
Secretary Crew last Thursday re-
ceived letter from the Interstate
Commerce Commission announcing that
the rates had been equalized by in
creasing the White Salmon rate 26
cents per 100 pounds.
