HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10. 1022 GUN CLUB MEN SHOOT IN SNOW In spite of a cold 'and disagreeable day, 15 of the local shooters and a number of spectators found their way to the Gun club shoot last Sunday af ternoon. The little clay saucers flying against a strong wind had an effective way of eluding a charge of shot, much to the disgust of some of the boys, and at the same time making a good score exceedingly cumcuit tor anyone.

Phenomenal Tractor Sales To sell more than 20 Fordson trac tors in less than two weeks, is the re suit ot recognized merit and value rather than of exceptional salesman ship, according to Carroll Mansfield, sales manager for the Dickson Motor company. autum me unpreceuemea drop in the price of the Fordson tractor the demand for that efficient power plant nas been better than we could have IH)ssibly hoped." says Mr. Mansfield. i II nowever, n is going to tax the in genuity of our service staff to make delivery on the dates required by pur chasers, owing to the short season and the fact that ranchers will want to be gin orchard operations at about the same time. We can therefore only guarantee delivery on required dates to those who place advance ordtrs." Several carloads of Fordsons are rolling towards Hood Kiver now and it IB stated that sales between now and May 1 will amount to about 90 per cent of the number already sold. Sidney Carnine Writes From New York Sidney Carnine, now in the New York City office of the Apple Growers Association, writes : "The best news I know of is that the apple market here in New York is certainly fine now and has been for the past 10 days. The trade has been buy ing very well and the demand for Newtowns is heavy, both for domestic and export use. We only hope that it will continue so. "We have scarcely had any winter here so far, an occasional snow which is cleaned up immediately by New York's gang of unemployed.

Neither of us knew anything about farm life and had certainly not included it in our plans for the future 1 bail in my possession, however, t copy of an excellent farm journal and there were also in the house we were renting piles of back numbers of several fruit growers magazines. Of these 1 selected copies of lsetter f nut and one other standard magazine, for which we ubeeribed. Sad early in November of that year we moved out on our home stead, with youth, inexperience and de termination as our chief assets. We decided to build slowly, but well, ami the house was ready to occupy earlv in December. A level place was then cleared and set to strawberries. Next a large garden spot was cleared, as we would depend largely on the tale ol vegetables the first year. Itien, as laud could be cleared, it was set to rasp berries, black Iwrries, loganberries, cur rants, gooseberries, etc. These are early bearers and would be furnishing us with cash, we figured, while we were waiting for the orchard to begin bearing. I be orchard we set out as rapidly as possible. We were pioneers in the fruit industry. Experience was our teacher so we tried out varieties very carefully, selecting those best Milled to our location and narket. We planted largely peach, pear, cherry, mil apple trees, with a goood sprinkling of plums, prunes and apricots. Our location seemed especial' suited for grapes, so one hillside was set to early and late varieties, while row on row of beeshives were added with excel lent results. The second year we bad to begin hiring help to handle our lerry crop. Our packages were standard and up to- late. We succeeded in finding not only a market locally, but our business circle widened each Beaton. At times we were fairly mobbed by patrons.

Just back with companions from an excursion on the snowlields of Mount Hood, Hans Hoerlein, declares that Mount Hood, if recreationists are edu cated to the appeal of the snowclad forests and broad expanses of snow- fields, bhould become as popular during the winter months as in tne summer. The men journeyed to Cloud Cap Inn by way ot Sand Canyon. Paul Hoer lein and Walter Cerke were other members of the party. "Snowshoeing and skiing, both very popular sports in mountainous coun tries, are available in as wonderful a setting and under as ideal conditions as any winter sports enthusiast may find anywhere right here within a few hours of Hood River," says Mr. Hoer lein. "All that is needed to bring scores ol wintertime recreauonisis hero is a litHe work in providing facul ties that will make the high altitudes a little more accessible without the arduous labor now necessitated in reaching them. This can be done easily. "Where will be found a mountain as readily accessible to a metropolitan center, such as Portland, or that is as perfect in setting? How easily might not its possibilites for winter sports be developed'.' The new Loop Highway will make the mountain ideally access- eible, and with the projected Ameri can Legion road up the mountain to Tilly Jane camp, a good grade will be established for getting into that region in the winter months on skns or snow- shoes. Contrary to popular belief, the mountain is not wrapped continuously in clouds and beaten by storms in win ter. Our observations tend to show that the mountain is wanner during periods of extreme cold weather than is the lower valley levels. Often, when it is stormy in the valley and when the clouds hang low and heavy, the mountain is ablaze with a brilliant sunshine. Almost invariably a trip to the mountain of several days, although it be started under foreboding condi tions, terminates with favorable weather at the higher altitudes, the odds are in favor of a greater percent age of good weather at the higher alti tudes than in the valley. The proposed 1-egun cabin at l illy Jane campsite should offer an oppor tunity, as a base lor winter sports, ior as great development as tne annual summertime climb of the mountain as launched bv the patriotic organization. The cabin will be located at a strategic point. The recreationist will simply have to step out of doors and take ad vantage of convenient slopes. The proposed road, wth its easy grade, will eliminate the fatigue now necessitated in reaching the region. It will also permit the hauling in of supplies in the fall of the year. A local snowshoe club, or the Legion Post, by stocking a cabin on the mountain with blankets and supplies in the fall, could provide for a trip to the snowlields devoid of the strenuous work at present neces sary when one must pack on his back II the food and bedding neeaej on uie recreational jaunt. "A winter journey by way oi anu Canyon is more scenic than by way of Cloud Cap Inn. The journey through the woods a nart of the way is especi- lly appealing if the tree? are covered with a new fall of snow. While skiing demands practice and skill to negotiate real slopes success fully, there is lots of fun in learning it. There are thrills in each stage of attempt and success and the numerous spills of the beginner are a leal tonic for they incite a laugh on the part of Hie victim and onlookers. Compared to skiing, snowshoeing is really easy and anyone can master it who is at all adapted to hiking. The few miles that separate Parkdale from the mountain are really nothing at all, if there are experienced members of a party to break trail, and if such trips can be taken without a heavy pack, which can in time be made possible. Skiis can be dragged along behind tied to a rope and used on the down grade, strapping the snowshoes onto one's back, out of the way." The magic needle, widely advertised among poultrymen last year, which, according to recent d if patches has been used to correctly inform expectant parents of the sex of unborn children, may do all that is claimed for it, but it never gained favor v i:h local chicken raisers. The instrun , an exceed ingly simple affair, nohting more than a cone shaped piece of metal attacned to a string, created a furore here but spring, and it was predicted that it would revolutionize the chicken busi ness, as poultry men would be able to eliminate eggs that would hatch roost ers. Somehow it did not work out. The sex indicator was put to various uses locally. It was tried out on shots, and if it happened to swing in a circle, the wearers knew that they were made of the skin of a cow. If, however, the cone swung back and forth, the hide was that of a bull. On one occasion it was used on a crab at a luncheon, anil the diners learneu mat tney were eat ing on cocktails mad from a female crustacean. Robert J. Scearce, Hosier banker, writes of one of the most neculiar ac cidents, fatal to one of the neighbor ing fruit section's most valuable horses. Mr. Scearce's letter is as fol lows : "1 have not been imbibing lately, nor is mv story anything but pure truth. Frank Baxter. . local farmer, was owner of one of the prettiest teams of horses ever seen here until yesterday. One of the sop, rb animals had not been worked in some time and had become frisky. The owner had difficulty in keeping the brute from leaping from his stall. Several times he had found it necessary to make re pairs to the stall, as a result of the horse's violent kicking. While so en gaged yesterday Mr. Baxl u was a tar get for the anmials hind feet. He saw the horse getting ready fur a kick and sidestepped. So violent, however, was the torce of the animal's kick that its leg was broken at a joint and was left hanging by only a pier, of skin. "Mr. Baxter is only able to account for the injury by stating that about two weeks before the horse had been kicked on the leg by another animal, but had shown no apparent ill effects from the blow. It was'necessary to shoot the valuable animal immediately after the accident.

The office is'at present filled.by Blaine Hal leek, whose term expires Febru ary 25. H. E. Percival, of Austin, Tex., stating that he read in the Oregonian of an application of the concern to the State Fish and Game Commission to trap the animals, has written to the Pacific Power & Light Co. seeking four live young beavers. He has asked that the beavers be trapped in box traps, in order that they may not be injured. The application of the power com pany, the lines of which have recently been broken by trees felled across them by the beavers, has been granted and the local office has commissioned Robert Leaaure, pioneer homesteader and noted for his prowess as a hunter and trapper, to trap or capture the animals. Mr. Percival's letter has been referred to Mr. Leasure. Mrs. Emma B. Carroll, of Portland, has written here seeking information about "Mariocch, " probably the best known dog Hood River has ever had. The dog, mascot 1I years ago of the University club, was owned by Count Henri de Redding, young Swiss orch ardist, who on leaving gave "Mari- ooeh to Major Philip H.
