VALLEY TO CELE-
BRATE APPLE WEEK

The Hood River Valley, the original
home of the Northwestern boxed apple,
where some 80 years ago the pioneers
began to consider raising the fruit on
commercial basis, will hold its first
general celebration of National Apple
Week, beginning next Tuesday. At
the instigation Of the international
Apple Shippers Association. A. w.
Stone and the Tuesday Lunch Club, a
luncheon will be held at the Columbia
Gorge Hotel Tuesday noon in honor of
the boxed apple. Wasco county orch
ardists and their fellows from districts
of Skamania and Kliciktat counties.
Washington, have been invited to par
ticipate. The Dalles Kiwanis Club
will motor here in a body to join In
honoring the king of fruits.
The general celebration was fostered
by the international Apple Shippers
Association, which appointed a local
committee. consisting of p. L. Tomp-
klns, A. w. Stone and r. W. Kelly, to
create an interest in boosting the ap-
Pile. All local merchants have been
asked to join in the activity by making
window displays. The committee has
offered Substantial cash prizes for the
first and second best exhibits.
Rev. w. H. Boldly will be toastmas-
ter at the dinner. Among pioneers of
the apple industry who will be present
will be w. J. Baker, Mr.. and Mrs. H.
o. Sieverkropp, j. C. Porter and c. r.
Bone. Mr.. Baker planted the first
commercial Newtown orchard in the
Northwest. Mr.. Porter developed the
first large East Side commercial tract.
Mrs. Sieverkropp, whose husband an
early homesteader, has one of the old
est orchards on the East Side, packed
the first carload of apples shipped
from the district % years ago. This
year the tonnage will reach more than
2. 500 carloads. Mr.. Bone, who has de- |
veloped more orchards than any other |
man of the district, is pioneer ex-
ponent of the need for good irrigation
for orchards, if the highest productiv-
ity is reached. 1t was largely through |
his activity that the East Fork lrriga-
tion District, now recognized as oper-
ating one of the most successful sys-
TENS in the state, was originated an
developed.
Invitations have been forwarded to
H. f. Davidson, pioneer local shipper
who now owns heavy producing tracts

Northwest's largest export concerns,

UNION HIGH SCHOOL
PLANS DISCUSSED

While County School Superintendent
Gibson cited numerous reasons why the
proposed plans for organization of a
union high school of all Lower Valley
school districts, might not work out
for full efficiency, City School Superin-
tendent Cannon and Principal Critics at
a meeting of the Tuesday Lunch Club
this week, spoke strongly in favor of
the union movement.
Mr.. Gibson, while he declared the
union high school plan would result in
a greater equity of taxation, cited that
Hood River. should a union district be
formed, might have but one member
of the board of directors. He cited
that it had been presented as an argu-
ment that 40 per cent of the students
Of the city high school are now from
outside districts. The decrease in cost
of maintaining the school, however,
Mr. Gibson declared, would not be pro-
portionate il 40 per cent of the stu
dents were to cease attendance. He
also stated that a union high school in
the city might result in the city having
a superintendent Of schools who would
have no connection with the high
school, a condition, which, he said,
would be bad.
Mr.. Gibson stated that j. A. Church
i'll, state superintendent of education,
put into effect a system, while he was
superintendent of schools at Baker
that called for no tuition fee from out
of town people who sent their students
to the schools there. Mr.. Churchill, it
was stated, went on the theory that
the business profits accruing from an
interest created in the city by the new
students paid the cost of the schooling.
Guests at the luncheon Tuesday in
cluded w. s. Boldly, postmaster of
Oakdale. Calf. and president of the
Almond Growers Association of that
city. Mr.. Boldly is here visiting his
brother, Rev. W. H. Boldly. who was
chairman of the meeting. Mrs. +. r.
Moller, member of the Barrett school
board, was present.

NATIONAL APPLE WEEK

National Apple Week will be ushered
in next Tuesday, and Hood River will
take a hand in the general country
wide celebration IN honor of this fruit
food, the eating Of which gives health.
1t is we'll that Hood River should take
a lead in the celebration of National
Apple Week. While the valley in this
beautiful land of the mid-Columbia
Cascades, Enow produces but a relative
Iy small portion of the Northwest's
boxed apples, it was here that the in
dustry originated.
1t is interesting to note that such
pioneers as W. J. Baker, j. c. Porter,
C. r. Bone, H. F. Davidson and Mr..
and Mrs. Sieverkropp will be present.
1t would be fitting that others who
helped the boxed apple industry grow
from its days of babyhood to sturdy
manhood be there to tell Of their ex-
perences.
