HOOD RIVER BERRIES.
the
will
In three months from now
strawberry crop of Hood River
be in full blasts and the wealth of
crimson lusciousness from that de
lightful locality will gladden the
eves and palates of the citizens of
Chicago, Omaha, St. Paul, St Louis
and the mining centers of Colorado,
Montana and Idaho.
The first berry shipments were
made from Hood River in 1889, by
Geo. T. Prather, we believe, they
being sent to Montana. The returns
were so satisfactory that Mr. Prather,
and perhaps one or two others,
shipped all the berries they . could
. get, and many small patches were set

demand the following year. It was
at once claimed by many that the
market would be over-stocked, and
that the price of berries would drop
to a point where it would not be
, profitable to grow them. Yet the
supply never equaled the demand
The same cry was raised every year
as the patches became more numer
ous and larger, but when -last year
. two carloads a day were being
shipped, and the demand was for yet
other carloads, even the most pro
nounced pessimists quit their croak-
inc. and conceded that with the
shipping qualities possessed by the
-"Clarke Seedlings," the -market was
practically Unlimited.

.larger than ever, and so will the
-acreage, and it will not be at all sur
prising if three, and even four, car
loads a day are shipped.
Strawbem' growing is like all
other agricultural pursuits, hard work,
There are hoeing and weeding and
picking, but there is money in it,
and it' is, while perhaps tiresome
work, as pleasant as any on the farm
It has one feature that many other
farming pursuits lack, and that is it
pays; and it is of such a nature that
a person of small capital can engage
in it. A few acres of land is all that
is required, and now that water is
available these are easily acquired.
The plants set in the fall yield
from half to two-thirds of a crop the
next year, and full crops for two
years after that. A well cultivated
acre of ground will yield from $20Q
to $250 over and above all expenses
of growing and harvesting, the prin
cipal expense being the picking and
the cost of boxes and crates. To a
man with a large family, of little
folks it offers peculiar inducements,
furnishing a light employment for
the children that enables them to as
sist materially . iu meeting the ex
penses of the family.
Without the, strawberry the de
velopment of Hood River valley
would have been much slower than
it has. been, for it furnishes . the
money that sets out and cares for
the apples trees, for which that sec
tion is fame us.
To the man of small means, who
is industrious, Hood River offers pe
culiar inducements, and of course
better ones to those who have money
to handle larger areas of fruit lands.
It is the most beautiful valley by far
in the state, and in a few years will
be one Tast orchard. We predict
that inside of seven years Hood River
will ship 200,000 bushels of apples,
and it will not be long before straw
berries are shipped almost in train
load lots. -
The growing of orchards requires
unlimited patience, ane considerable
money, and fortunately there are
hundreds now "in the Hood River
section who have about passed their
If there is one thing more than an
other that the people of The Dalles
should be proud of, it is our public
schools "While it is true the grade
is not quite so high as in some of the
larger cities; no city can show more
systematic, thorough work than is to
be found in the public schools of The
Dalles. People at a distance recog

People who, contemplate removal
to a new place always want to know
what km J of schools they will find at
their new home. We can assure all

are unsurpassed by any.
THE PASSING OF CLEVELAND.
At noon today, or rather at 9
o clock this morning by our local
time, President Cleveland "stepped
down and out and President McKin-
ley stepped up and in. It is too
- . ...
sooa to yet . write the history or
Clevelandism. for time is necessary
to soften tbe views of those who
were opposed to him politically, and
to open the eyes of those who stood
with him.
Just at this moment the only real
ly unselfish thing we can think of
that he has done was to acquire the
gout. Politics has proven a kind
mistress to him, since at the end of
eight years' service, on a salary of
150,000 a year, he retires from office
tfltb. a fortune estimated at $6,000,
000.
From the day of his inaugaration
four years ago, he has pursued a
course calculated to, and we believe
firmly, intended to, anninilate the
Democratic party. We believe that
he desired to go down into history
as the only JJemocratic president, in
fifty years, and his actions have all
trended in that direction with such
force that it is quite probable his
desires may be gratified. ."

trip around the world, and there
would be but little regret in this
pountry if he made the trip occupy
twenty or thirty years.' ' Jackson

was larger, and is, in fact, too large
for anything except royalty.

SEVERAL THINGS.
The dignity . and courtesy of the
United States senate, which we hear
so much about at times, was exem
plified Wednesday. iQUaJr bad keen
interposing objectious-to the passage
of some private. bUl when Senator
Hoar took him jn' hand, and after
giving him a shaking up, concluded
his remarks by saying, "One man in
liquor m ight stop business." This
brought ' Quay to his feet and he
shouted ' at the venerable senator
from Massachusetts: "If be intends
to intimate that 1 am in liquor, he is
a lunatic or a liar, and I will not tol
eratc it from him or any one else.
In the house ' at tLe same time
discussion came up on the Indian ap
propriation bill, which finally drifted
off into a discussion on the location
of hell. Cannon' of Illinois said
"If there is any place on this conti
nent where organized hell is in force
it is among the civilized, the five
civilized, tribes of Indian Territory,
Touching the location, Pendleton of
Texas agreed with Cannon, but
thought the hell in Oklahoma, while
of no larger proportions, was a trifle
hotter. And thus were the closing
hours of the session devoted to serv-
ing the interests of the people:
In opposing the motion to adjourn
the house sine die yesterday, Bilyeu
among other things, said: "l see
the benign countenances, of some
members without the bar. Let them
come in. They havn't the manhood
to do it. They are instructed to
stay out As Bilyeu stayed out for
forty-seven days, it is fair to pre-
sume . that be ascribes to those who
now refuse to loaf around the state
capitol the same reasons that were 'so
successful in keeping him out. It
would he amusing, had it not gruwn
tiresome, to watch the puerile actions
of tbe gang of immortals. Today
will end it, however, and the gaug
will dissolve never again to be gath
ered, unless Governor Lord should
call an extra session.' After that
they will individually drop into that
obscurity for which their talents so
eminently qualify them.
The filing of articles of incorpora
tion does not necessarily mean the
building of a railroad, yet it Is quite
possible that the filing of articles for
the building of the road from Biggs
to Prineville may be speedily fol
lowed by the building of the road as
far as Wasco, or perhaps even far
ther. There is an immense amount
of wheat to be moved from Sherman
county that would furnish freight for
the road, and from the Moro , Obi
server we learn that the farmers are
subscribing quite an amount of work
to be done in grading, etc. While
the railroad is, so far, only on paper,
it is said that it has substantial back-
The rich are targets for unkind and
often unjust criticism. Because
wealthy man has not given away all
his possessions he is looked upon as a
flinty creature, devoid of human sym
pathy. In many cases this is a gross
error. Take, lor instance, uncle
Russell Sage. There is a prevalent
notion that Uncle Russ is a trifle near
in. his dealings with his fellow men
The fact that he wears $9 suits of
clothes and $2 shoes, and appears in
different as 'to whether the rest of
mankind wears any at all, has gained
Uncle Russ quite a reputation for
frugality. But while to the world at
large Mr. Sage he has saved gallons
of ink by not having a longer name
may have seemed cold and hard, he
has not been so to the extent sup
posed. He has his soft and warm
side. For example, when his broth
cr, who is, unfortunately, pcor and
hard up, applied to him a few days
ago for a loan, did Uncle Russ give
him the marble heart? Ko indeed.
We learn from a reliable source that
he promptly accommodated him" to
the amount of $50, and took a mort
gage on his home for the same.
Some may think the mortgage in this
case is an evidence of lack of frater
nal affection, but it is only proof of
methodical habits. In all probabil
ity when the time is up, it tbe money
is not returned with interest, Uncle
Russ will give a few days of grace
before foreclosing. It is thus seen
that the fact of a man's being worth
sixty or eighty millions is not suffi
cient basis for the conclusion that he
Is a skinflint. Salem Statesman.
The supreme court of California
yesterday affirmed the decision of the
lower court in the case of Theodore
Durrant, found guilty of the murder
of Blanche Lamont in the Emanuel
church at San Francisco two years.
The case will now be sent back to
the superior court, which will fix the
day for the execution. When Dur
rant was told of the supreme court's
action, he burst into tears and - said,
"This is a cruel world." In this
opinion those who read the story of
Durrant-'s brutal butchery will coin
cide. There are people who had
so little confidence" in the supreme
court that they did not expect to
live to see Durrant punished, and
they need not give up their opinions
yet, as there are' plenty of moves on
the legal chess board to be made yet.
Congress has passed a bill to pre
vent the buying and selling' of t n
used railroad tickets. If ever there
was a law made for the, purpose of
deliberately robbing .the citizen and
giving the plunder to a corporation,
that law is the one. A railroad
company in selling a ticket agrees to
carry one person oetween certain
points. It does not, or if it does,
should not distinguish as to what
person it should carry. . If congress
will carry its idea to its legitimate
couclusion and give manufacturers
the same advantage it will be unlaw
ful to sell second-hand stoves, old
rags, sacks or bottles,-. or anything
else unless it comes new and direct
from the manufacturer. V -
' Kins George of Greece is of the

the world with. He stands firmly by
his acts, and vrtually defies all Eu

compel : him . to submit at any time,
but it is doubtful if they will. They
managed to find plenty of excuses
for not interfering between Turkey

to prevent Greece protecting Chris
tians from the murdering Turks.

Yesterday the state senate dis
solved. It did not adjourn, for
Simon said it couldn't, so, as it could
not sit forever and forever, it just
dissolved, melted, faded away like
the memory of an evanescent dream.
It just folded its little hands, and its
little spirit fluttered out between its
infantile lips. It was so gently mild,
so sweetly weak that its last sigh
would scarce have disturbed the
thistle down if on its cherub mouth.

they were waiting for the water to boil

tbe premises with fire brands. But the
real ,. tun did not begin till tbe water
boiled and. one little child was badly, if
not seriously, scalded.
It seems incredible, but it is neverthe
less true that many parents are in the
habit of allowing their children to carry
matches about and start fires whenever
and wherever they please, to the great
annoyance of neighbors and property
owners. . .

tl.o assertion that more children lose
their lives, or are crippled and scarred
for life, by burns than all other accident

President McKinley in his inau
gural address appeals to the senate to
ratify the arbitration treaty, "not
merely as a matter of policy, but as
duty to mankind." This was
hardly to have been expected, and
indeed is quite a surprise to many
persons in America, as well as in Eu
rope.
The proof positive that the Davis
house has no shadow of authority is
the fact that Tony Noltner says it

only a Horse.
Just when we had given up all hopes
of getting real live item this afternoon, a
horse hitched to a light road cart, gal
lantly came to the front and gladdened
our heart with' tbe item aforesaid. He
was tied to a telephone pole just across
the street from The Chronicle office-
Being - idle, the gentleman who looks
after idle horses, as well as men, soon
found something for- him to do. 'He
commenced- rubbing his bead on the
telephone pole, and finally lulled his
bridle off. This caused him to feel so
joyous that he turned around and im
mediately leaped into the air about six
feet, just to show that spring is here,
Then be stood.on his hind legs, just like
a political orator, and then he changed
his base, etill like a politician, and stood
on bis front feet. . When he got tired of
this, he just bucked until he got his feet
tangled - up in the shafts and fell down.
Mr. Dan Eoberts and another gentleman
pulled him over on his side and sat on
his head to cool him off, while the owner
unbuckled the harness and tbe cart was
pulled away. A rope was put around
is neck and he was soon on his feet.
In tbe hurry one tug was not unfastened,
and when the animal discovered this,
he kicked again, making things lively
for a minute, until finally the singletree
broke and set him free.
During the melee the horse bucked
onto the sidewalk, and our reporter,
who was an interested spectator, fled for
the alley, while the others scattered as
best they could. A broken singletree
was the only damage.

To the Editor There is an old say
ing that "experience is a bard master;
but fools won't learn from any other."
But in this ageof boasted enlightenment
and intelligence it does seem that even
fools might learn without tbe aid of bit
ter experience, and that is that fire is a
dangerous element under any all condi
tions ; and that is dreadfully dangerous
to life and property when small children
are allowed to have it for a plaything.
Tbe narrow escape yesterday of a little
child from serious injury has prompted
these remarks. '. It is not necessary to
give tfee details of yesterday's incident,
.except to say that a little boy about 7
years old was allowed to kindle a fire
dangerously near bis mother's house,
with which be was to amuse himself by
boiling some eggs and potatoes in tin
cans. He concluded, however, and told
his mother, that be could have fun
enough by boiling the wafer without any
eggs and potatoes. Several neighbor

OREGON'S BEST BEER.
INCREASING DEMAND FOR THE
FAMOUS HOP GOLD BEER.
The Product of the Star Brewery Co.
Goes to China and Japan, as Well
as to all Local Points.
Among the various enterprises of the
Northwest, there is one that stands at
tbe head of the column for increase of
business during the past year, and that
enterprise is the Star Brewery Company,
brewers of the famous Hop Gold beer.
A year'ago-the name of Hop Gold was
unknown; today the inhabitants of
every city, town and bamlet throughout
Washington, Oregon and Idaho, are
familiar with not alone the name, but
all have knowledge of the high reputa
tion of the beer for which the name
stands, and every resident of tbe North
west should feel proud to learn that the
same product is being sold in China and
Japan in competition with beer from
Europe, and has been pronounced by
every one to be of a most superior qual
ity. , The demand for Hop Gold has
grown so great that the company is at
present enlarging their, plant, and adding
some of the moetimproved machinery,
in order to supply the increasing demand
of Hop Gold, which is universally ad
mitted to be superior to any western .
brand of beer, and the equal of any beer
brewed by the larger breweries of the
East. It has always been and will be in
the future tbe aim of the Star Brewery
Co. to further home production by pur
chasing hops and other materials in Ore
gon and Washington, in place of send
ing the money away. The bottling de
partment of the brewery has made won
derful strides and tbe bottled beer stands
upon its own merits. '
The Star Brewery Company deserves
-unbounded success, and it is certainly
securing it.'" , :

Tho Bad BUI Came Back.
Trayel-stained, footsore and weary, on
Wednesday morning about 2 o'clock Bill
Black arrived afoot , at tbe ranch near
Mayville, which' he bad left two years
before. Without going through the
formality of bidding tbem good-bye, be
deserted his wife and children and
struck out for the British Northwest,
where no doubt he thought be would
lead a life of pleasantness by acquiring
riches without being hampered by fam
ily cares. But "far-away birds have
fine feathers," and "all is not gold that
glitters," as Bill soon found out. He
left a comfortable living in a fine cli
mate for a life of hard scratching to keep
body and soul together in a frozen, des
olate land, and he has come back to find
bis children scattered and his wife tbe
wife of another man. Until he left here
he had the respect of his fellow men,
and he returns under a cloud of shame,
bereft of self-respect and the respect of
mankind. Poor Bill ! He was a good
man and an honest one, a churchman
and a member of a grand fraternal order.
and no doubt in his wandering his con
science has amply avenged tbe wrongs
he has done to those whom he was
bound by laws of God and man to cher
ish and protect. Fossil Journal.

Mormon Proselytes In Chicago.
Three Northwest side families have re
moved to Utah as converts to the Mor
faitb since Mormon elders began their
work in Chicago. It is claimed' the ex
odns would have been much larger if
Elder Kelsh had not used all the means
in his power to build up the church,
locally. ,.
"We intend to build up a large colony
of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
DayXSaints," said President John M Da
vis ot the north Illinois conference.
"We recently removed our headquar
ters from Kansas City to this point for
tbe reason that the work could be done
more effectively irom the larger center. -.
"This will be the center from which
we intend to work for many years to
come and we hope -to make the north
ern states mission one of the strongest in
tbe country. Therefore we are not send
ing any of our converts to Utah. Sev
eral of the members of the Wicker Park
church have come to us and asked per
mission to go to Salt Lake City and we
have persuaded them to stay here."
