Young Will iam Barlow had built man day dreams of what honor and profit he would win by taking to Oregon the first grafted fruit and go down in history as the father of the fruitlndustry in Oregon, but fate was against him. The box weightd something over a hundred pounds with the grafu and soil to keep the grafts growing, and ..m. r,H ivi had to brf left on the bank of the Grande Ronde river and it was left for others to reap a fortune and go down in history as the father of the fruit industry m Oregon. All thai was left for him to do was to sit on the cast away box and weep, and then resume his weary jurney. which after struggling with forest and snows and the abandon tnent of all the wagons in the Cascade mountains ended on Christmas day 1 844, when the older members a foot and the shildren in baskets strapped on cows entered Oregon City. s While young William Barlow was weep ing because of his disappointment in hav ing to abandon his box of grafts there was not then in all Oregon a grafted tree. With the prophetic vision common to pioneers he saw a big future industry and that vision has been realized. In 1900, but 65 years after his misfortune, the orchards of what was then Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Oregon; grew fruits on 12.962,671 trees, valued at $2,270,726. , : " ' 1 1 IS MADE BY TAKING X , ADVAN1AGE OF BARGAINS Especially through the X , !

CHE FIRST FRUIT FA LURE IN OREGON In the fall of 1844 an immigrant train was encamped on the Grande Ronde river near where the thrifty village of Hilgard now stands. The long journey from th-. Missouri river, with no feed for the oxer, and horsek that drew their wagons, but the wild grass they could crop after each wearisom days travel. From the south pass through the Rocky Mountains, grass was dry as hay and from the Pacific Springs, now in Wyoming, the first water on this side of the continental back bom that flowed into the Pacific ocean, was scarce and what little the animals could find among the sage brush was crisp and often covered with alkaline dust, had re duced the strength of the teams so, thai it seemed impossible for them to drag' the wagons up the Blue mountains to Lee's encampment, now Meacham and tht remaining three hundred miles of the journey to the white settlement in Oregon. The older men and heads of the fam ilies that composed the train were con vinced that to enable the emaciated oxen to drag the wagons over the Blue. moun tains and the rest of the journey their loads must be lightened by throwing away everything not absolutely necessary for use on the way. It was a sad but im perative duty to overhaul the contents of the dusty wagons and determine what should beabahtfoned. Family keeD sakes. books, even family bibles, pots, and kettles were thrown out Some of the wagons were coupled shorter so that some of the weight could be sawed off the wagon beds. ;- In one of the wagons belonging to Sam uel K. Barlow there was a box of several hundred grafts of choice orchard fruit scions that his son William, a lad of some eighteen years had started with from Illinois In the early spring and carefully watered and cared for all the spring and e eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee p BUYING UKUU MUKL uuuu WITHOUT RISK : e When you com. to Hill's Pharmacy for an, jfJ distinctly understood that in case your 1"J? n BAM AT promises you may return it and WE WILL BUY IT BACK AT FULL PRICE-no arguments, no unpleasantness, do delay-your money is yours immediately upon request , . .

There was a bull fight the other day at Ciudad Juarez, near El Paso, Texas I1 was given for the benefit of the delegates to the mining congress. One matador was badly gored and another was carried out bruised and bleeding after a bull had tossed him In the air. The arena war packed with Americans, including many women. Most of . the Americans left however, after human blood had been spilled, refusing to witness the continu ation of the brutal sport Their departure it that time was the next best thing tc not having gone to the fight at all.
