HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1911 ARTHUR 0. MOE. Publisher. Subscription, $1.."0 IV r Year. WASTED TIME AND LACK OF RETtRNS. "What a success that man could have made if he were only in some other business." All of us have heard words exactly as the'aLove, or'at least iden tical in import, ever since we have been able to understand the conversa tion of our elderg. The sentence al ways hears a suggestion of pity. While the comparison may be an inapt one it come to hand and is made use of in a decade we may see the agricultural interest! "of the Northwest sorely hampered because of the fact that too much of the land, unadapted to fruit, has been placed in orchard. Twenty years ago the West went prune crazy. As time and experience have shown a great per cent of the land was never adapted for the industry and numerous failures have been recorded. However, those who did put their orchards in suitable soil and who per severed and maintained their enter prises are reaping a financial reward deserved, liut the country as a whole as well as the individuals who chose localities where other farm products ai d not prunes thrived, have felt the result of waste of time and the money spent in fruitless devlupment and the sad lack of returns. Today the apple has become the pre dominant product in many sections of the Northwest as well as other parts of the country. Indeed, the apple is a kiuK, where it thrives to best advan tage, liut it is to be feared that his tory is repeating itself and that many regions are being get to apples, from which the growers will never receive justifiable returns. Inexperienced men and women overwhelmed by the tales of profit may be making grave mis takes. They may be expending their money on ventures that will fail to meet with results. They will lose and the country as a whole will lose, for in addition to their time and money sunk in a profitless industry the land lies idle without return of product. The ordinary agricultural products of the country are continung to soar in price. Until more of them are grown, until more of the people who are now attempting to grow crops, from which they hope ultimately to receive larger income, turn their attention to them, they are going to continue to rise in valuation. It may be that some of the residents o t'ie more proven orchard districts are making the mistake of turning their attention too exclusively to the raising of fruit. In speaking of the condition 'of the Medford community the Portland Telegram says in an editorial: "Under the circumstances we know of no more inviting field for the truck farmer than Medford. Its people are willingly paying a high price for the food products which they import. These products should be raised at home, and if anything like the same price is paid for them, truck farmers will soon get well to do in that valley. Attention of the Medford people, in our judgment, has been too completey absorbed in apple and pear raising. They are now seeing only part of their problem. If a good proportion of the money now being shipped out for foodstuffs were only kept at home, as it should und can be, Medford money would be more generally scattered than it is, and we have no doubt the banks would hail with pleasure the added tone of health thus developed in municipal conditions. Hand in hand with the development of the fruit bus iness should go the development of the agricultural and fruit farming inter ests. In this way some of the big ex isting leaks Jwill Jbe stopped and the great problem ahead of Medford will be found much easier of solution." Potato grovwrs should buy new wallets for themselves. Says the Oregonian: There is a multiplicity of kings in the vegetable kingdom. We have long had King Corn, King Apple and King liing tho Cherry. Now we have King Potato assuming the crown. The other kings will assert their divine right when the humlbe amljlmseborn "spud" dons the royal purple.

ABANDONED MILL DESTROYED BY FIRE An auaiuloiieU mill of the Oregon Lumber Co., located on the Washing ton side of the Columbia opposite Viento, was recently burned to the ground, ine machinery ami building property was valued at $8,000.

GOLDEN WEDDING OF HONORED COUPLE On July 4, the fiftieth anniversary of the wedding of Mr. J era Id H. and Mrs. Ellen Blount waa fittingly observed at their residence byltheir rel-tive living in Hood Kiver. The dinner was pre pared by the daughters, Mrs. George SteinhotT. and Mrs. Tell Blount, and was a credit to their culinary ability. The bride received and read at the dinner, a conpratulary letter from Miss Ezena Jones, with a large amount of gold I eads a timely gift. The bride and groom received respectively from the friends present, a handsome gold breast pin and a solid gold stick pin. The bride and groom enjoyed the occasion more than their primal day, as they have children who honor them and grandchildren who love and cherish thems. The hope was universally ex pessed that all would be present to celebrate their diamond wedding. Canby Corps No. 16. W. K. C, cele brated the golden wedding of Jerald and Ellen lilount at noon on the 8th by giving in honor of the occasion one of their famous dinners, at which the Post members and the.familics of the relief corps were present and showed their hearty appreciation. These Corp dinners are growing in favor and draw an empty crowd that go away full. The Corps President, Mrs. Baker, gave the principal address and presented, on behalf of Canby Corps, the honored couple with a handsome gold badge of the order to the brius, who has been an active worker in'the order, having served in different offices and is now a past jresiden . Mrs. lilount replied briefly, thanking the corps for their many ciuntesies and this crowning trib ute thiitwnl always be a happy mem ory. Mrs. Williams read an interest ing paper, congratulating the bride and groom on their hale and hearty looks after fifty years of living to gether, and expressed hope that the corps would ceieiirate their diamond wedding. Mr. and Mrs. II. H. Ilailey, of Portland, timed their annual visit to Hood Kiver to be present at this meeting, having served respectively as Post Commander and Corps Presidert and'been honored in the same manner on!their anniversary several years ago. the following poem was read on both occasions : To Gerald and Ellen, July 4 1911. Anniversary or. Golden Wedding. Fifty years of warfare, connubial Strife, fifty vears of toiling, for a loving home life, Half a century of building, to make a model home, ;A word within a word, what cluster ing memories come, Is life worth the living? Is pleasure a sham? What aspirations gained? What holies are dashed to. slam. Fifty years of looking. Sacking the unseen. Fifty years: how differnt, the things that might have been. Iiut fifty years? How short it seems, to think of all you've done, While jogging matrimonially, the road of two in one. You ve made no store of worldly wealth, all that is droBS. A home you ve made that s richer than all the tainted gloss. Your children seek its shelter, to them its always home. Their children also love it and gladly through it roam. And you may well bo pardoned on this golden wedding (lay for tho pride you have in all of them, that's what all say. You don't have any favorites, that any one can'see. And they'll all be truly loyal as long as life shall be. The absent ones you'll think of, and they'll remember too, For 1 feel the wireless messages passing through and through. The hope rings true in all that's here as well as those away. That you'll greet us hale and hearty on your diamond wedding day. Your pardon beg I The theme's too big here's naught I thought to write, Myjfunny bone is out'of joint. Joy and tears alone in sight. Brother and Sister. Agnes and Tom, FRUITLESS ARGUMENT ENDS. ROAD MEETING The joint meeting of the Commercial club, the Automobile association and the county Grangers.'.held at the room of tho .Commercial club Monday night, after a long and fruitless argument, finally adjourned with no decisions having been reachd. Tho'meetiiig was attended by nearly 40 members of the different organiza tions. The"disturbing"clements of tho evening were the speeches of A. I. Mason, who severely criticised the Commercial club for action taken dur ing the sessions of the last State legis lature. The trend of Mr. Mason's statements-were repugnant to tho sen timents of the majority of those in attendance and instead of accomplish ing the purnose, for which the organ izations had assembled, the discussions were turned toward a rehashing of past events and a warm controversy oi worus was amused. In his heated remarks, Mr. Mason expounded a number of questions for the deliberation of the meeting. How ever, on account ;of the muddle into which the discussions were drawn, the questions received but little attention The questons are as follws: Shall we see good roads through the initiative or me next legislature? Do we want a highway commission or commissioner.' Shall the oo minis sion be state officers? Shall the commission be a dictator to the county court or an advisor and educator : Shall the people name tho aiaount of Honda to be voted, the maximum rate of intere.it and length of time the bonds should run? Shall the people name the time the serial or issues shall be paid? Shall they locate the roads to be im proved and name the amount to be spent upon each? Shall thev locate the roads to be improved and name the material to be used an state the maxi mum grades? Are serial bonds preferable to lomr time bonds with sinking funds to meet the payments; Would county warrants ne preieranie to long time bonds? targe Berries at Mosier.
