An experiment tbat may result in tbe establishing of an industry at Hood Piver of considerable import anoe will soon bo made with tbe sand in tbe lar nortb of town. Beveial men wbo have Interested themaelvea In tbe t'i terprise are inclined to think thU minerals in quantities large enough to make it pay for the working are present in the sand and will experiment in an eudeavor to as certain by tbe aid of machinery if it can be made profitable. Xbose tolerated in tbe project te cently purchased a scow in Portland for use out on tbe bar and an effort was made to have it brought to liood River. Tbe tug which was towinu tbe mow waa not powerful enough to lake It tbrougb tbe rapids below Csb cade Looks witb tbe result that it went on shore, an ettort to set the scow neie baring tailed, so far, hat delayed tbe operations of the com pa ny, but it is expected to get a suita ble boat for tbe work up tbe river. Tbe sand is said to contain both iron and gold in quantities s ttHoient to pay for working It. Borne time ago a government analysis was made of it which showed tbat it contained a peicentage tbat men wbo are famil iar with mining say can be made to yield a protlt it properly worked. In order to obtain ;be metals a process will be employed tbat will separaU tbe sand from them, tor this purpose electricity will be employed. What 1 known as a magnetic separator will perform tbia part of the work. ibe sand la made to pass in front of a magnet wbicb deflects the metal aa it passes, causing it to drop into a receptacle r laced to receive it while tbe sand pauses on. The process is not new one, having been nrst put iu use by fhos. A. Edison near hit home, Meulo Park, New Jersey, wbere be discovered a large uuautitlt ot iron bearing rook which ordinarily it wouia not nave paid to work. 11 u wondeiful ingenuity however wat brought in to play, and after invent ing two crushers tbat some of the greatest maobine works in the coun try said oould not be made aud which reduced tbe rock to powder, be set op his magneta and started operation cnac were not only successful but the marvel ot all who beheld them. Tbia is tbe system tbat will be em ployed by tbe promoters of tbe at tempt to wrest riches from the sands ot the Columbia except that the ex penisve process of crushing will not be necessary. in tbe working of tbe machinery. should tbe experiment prove success ful, much electric power will be nec essary which will be provided by tbe local eleotrio light company. Should tbe pioject turn out successully it will mean tbe employment of a larue number of ineu eventually at Hood River. Fruit Yields at Wenatchee. II. E. Motteler has 5.000 boxes of apples from six acres. lwo aores five-year-old ani le trees owned by Conrad Rose produced 670 boxes apples. Joseph (Jompton. who has ahout three aores of orchard on bia Sqi.ill obuck place, estimates his yield at 500 boxes oi apples, zuu uoxos or peaches. 200 boxes of prunes and 75 boxes of pears. Ibe Wenatchee Republic tikes a good illustration ot the reuiurkahle fertility of tbe soil, where assisted by push, energy and hard work, found n the statement ot Chuiles Uiorv. wbo lives ahout six miles up the We natchee river. About a year ago Mr. Biery pu routined ten acres of raw land from W. C. Stevens for $1(50 per acre. Tbia year be put tbe whole tract Into melons and tomatoes, and be netted from tbe ten acres an average f $175 per acre. In other words, the land oost him $100 per acre, and be took in $475 per acre, three times as much aa tbe original oost ot the land. J. J. Sharp, of Sunnyaide. bad a orop of black caps on his plaoe this year wbiob netted h,m at the rate ot $yoo per acre. 11. b. Simmons raised 1.000 boxes of Black Ben Davis apples, which will be sold when tbe "Ben" market is open. The W. B. MoKittrick plaoe, just north of town, is an iudloaticn ot what oan be done with vegetables. Mr. McKittriok has 25 acres, liia trees are yonng aud just coming into bearing, so the chief income from tbe place is the vegetables. He had in a good erop of onions, melons, po tatoes, peppers, beans, etc., and rea lized from 10 acres over $1,0X10. From leaa than two acres of young peach tieea be sold $500 woitb of peucuus. Just a few apple trees are in beating, but be will have ahout 500 boxes of apples. 0ther"Ju8t-as-(Jootl" Regions The "just as-good" rivalry of apple districts in Oiegon toward Hood Riv er, whose fame has stirred tbe emula tioaof neighbor regions, is not con tain wholly within the Heaver state. Tbe otate of Washington baa several famous apple regions, one of them tbe Yakima country. Tbe apple of Yakama belong to tbe "just as good" class, like those of Willamette valley and Rogue River. Their flavoi, beau ty and hardiness pat tbem in tbe veiy first class. Tbe PaoiSo Northwest region is es pecially favored for apple oultuie. Oregon and Wahington, and also Ida ho, posseas apple advantages of vary ing oharaotei, but essentialy similar, it waa an exhibit of Yakima apples in a store iu Salem that gave impetus to tbe rivalry in Oregon, tbrougb a desire to show something "just-as-good" from the Willamette valley, many of whose growers encounteied the rival claims of Hood River pro ducers, in declaring high merits of Willamette valley fruit. The Yakima County r'ruit Growers anion is an or- fanlzation energetio and enterp. is ng. Samples of its Spilzenbergs and Roma Beauties, received by this pa per, are proof of tha high merit of its apples. Ibe oonditiona of climate and soil tbat give Oregon apples their ex eelleuoe, are not oonflned to tbe Ore gon atate; tbey spread over tbe Ore gon oountiy, including Washington. uregon lan.. Will Shew Wkkh is Beat. Tbe Freewater Times declares that tbe portion ot tbe Walla Walla valley which is in Oregon proadoee just as line appls as are grown at Hood River or in the Rogue River valley, "and in fact, exoela tbetn. " Tbere is no doubt tbat splendid apples are grown in tbat portion of tbe state and if they are raising tha best it will pay them well to take advantage ot every opportunty to prove tbe fact. Tbe coming meeting of tha Oregon State Horticultural aocety will give tbe Umatilla county orobardiata a first- claas opportunty to prove tbe merit of their iruit. It will add not only to their reputation but also to tbe sell ing price ot their trait if. they take inree oi lour or ine cups noma with tbetn. Ruial Nortbweat. Another Aspirant for Register.

For while it ia shown that tbe orop is more than twice as large as it was last year, it is not mote than 150,000 boxes. Ibis however is so much greater than it ever was before that at least 200 cara ot apples will be shipped from Hood River. This is a greater number of cara than is shipped from any other part of Western Oregon. Heretofore Rogue Klver baa led iu the shipment ot fan cy fruit, but this year ;she will hava i . ii 1 1 r . tu give wnv vu iiuuu rwver as nerjerop is aaia to oe iu tne neignnornod or 150,000 boxes. The large shipment of apples from here has been tbe means of making Hood River tbe sreateat shipping point on tbe line wf tbe O. K. A N. exoept the terminal coints of .Spokane and Portland. Hood River took the lead during the past mouth and passed Baker City which had been Oral befoia that. Tba union has already shipped over 100 oars of fruit but has several thousand more boxes to get out and its shipment may reach 125 oars. With tbe shipments ot tbe Davidson ooompany and Sears k Porter the to tal will fully reach 200 oars. This does - O'jt include - apples which have been sent away by express aud whioh has been quite an important factor tbls year. As tar as fanoy truit is concerned tbere is no more left in tbe valley aud efforts to obtain it from either tha union or the Davidson company are unavailing as several have discovered wbo have tried to get some. There may be a few growers who have a small number ot boxes of high grade apple? in their apple houses but there u none tor sale in town. The prices obtained for the anion apples this year are found to average muon higher than ever before tor all varieties but Ben Davis. The highest price, which was for Spitz, was $3.15 box and tbe lowest 11.4:). The Ben Davis brought 85 ceuts. The good de mand aud good prices for the odd va rieties is the cause of much oougratu lation to tbe anion management aud their ready sale this year means tbat they will be more readily taken at good prices next. . Ibe, entire apple shipment will be practically; covered this season by Christmas which Is somewhat earlier" than usual, exoept a few thousand boxes that are being held in cold storage. The business has grown to proportions this yeai tbat it has awak ened many to the taot that there are several features which must be looked after olosely next season.
