The hilarity began right off the reel when Charlie Moore knocked the first ball over the plate over center field fence and lauded it somewhere out towards Litititou. It was the first home run of the season for the locals, and brought forth rounds of applause for the modest pitcher The second inning saw the locals add two more runs to their score, There would have been 110 telling what would have happened in the third inning but for 11 wild pitch by Olney of the Cubs while Juegcts was at the bat. To escape being hit Jaegers stepped forward and the ball struck his bat, which lie Held over his shoulder, the handle strik- tig his elbow, inflicting an injury that couiDcltcd him to retire from the game in the following inning.

"Sometimes it settled in my knees and lamed me so I could hardly walk, at other times it would be in my feet and hands so I was incapacitated for duty. One night when I was in severe pain and lame from it my wife went to the drug store here and came back with a bottle oi Chamberlain's Pain Halm. I was rubbed with it and found the pain had nearly gone during the night. I kept bn using it for a little more than two weeks and found that it drove the rheum atism away. I have not had any trouble from that diseise tor over three months." For sale by St. Johns Drug Store. Noths.

Speaking of the item in The Review of last week in regard to the condition of Tacoma street Chairman Lcggett of the street committee of the council says the improvement of the street is up to the property owners. The council stands ready to take the matter up, but it must le done in the regular way. That the thoroughfare is unsightly all will admit, and its improvement for a couple of blocks off of Jersey street would add ma terially to the entire business district.

The proposition to oil portions of Jersey, llurlington and Philadel phia streets in the business section, made in The Review during the dusty period of a couple of weeks ago, has been favorably received by many of the merchants and property owners, and it is likely that tlie plan will be carried out. The almost unbearable dust of the recent dry spell demonstrated to all what a nuisance it will prove if allowed to continue throughout the summer. It has been shown that it will be far cheaper to oil the business district than it would to sprinkle it daily with water. The only difference will be that the work and expense of the oiling process will all come at once, al though it is (bought that the pay ment for the same can be arranged so that it will fall lightly on all. It is a matter that should le tak en up and carried out at once before the jwwdered earth Incomes annoy- iK For Sale A fine driving mare, and almost new buggy.

The writer paid n visit to Hood River last week, and the time and money spent was well worth the price. All who are unacquainted witli scientific apple culture should make n trip to this famous valley at their earliest convenience. Ap ples, and the highest priced ones 111 the world, are raised. The people talk apples and orchards, and every man, woman and child is a Rooster with a big H. The valley where the apples nnd strawberries nre raised, is far ahead of the town. What Hood River needs is graded streets. Its business house. carry fine fresh stocks and impress the visitor that the people are prosjcrous. Muuy handsome resiliences tell of the thrill of the people in the valley. A ride into the orchard district is a disappointment at first. In stead of miles of bearing orchards that one would naturally expect to see there is only one here and there. Hut there nre young orchards ga lore. Hundreds of acres have been set to trees during the past two years. The orchards that are in full bearing arc money makers. One man has a iccord of clearing over -fiooo an acre after all expense was paid. One of his Newtown trees netted him $52. Many others 1 did nearly as well. Another, who has 11 40 acre commercial oichard! refused $40,000 for it last fall. It is the cculiar keeping and shipping (tialities of the Hood River tipple that brings the high price. One old timer said: "Rogue River can raise the same kind of apples that we can. So can Vuki ma, Weuatehic and the Willamette valley. Hut when they ship their fruit we have them skinned a mile. We send our nnplcs to Africa and Siberia, and when they are opened they are found in the be.it of con dition. Our councilors raise as nice a looking apple as we do, but they have to get rid of it at once because it doesn't keep. Last year we sent our strawberries to London, ' Ktigliiud, and to Hong Kong, Chi-1 ua, and they arrived in excellent condition. It is becau.se our fruit possesses keeping mid shipping qualities that makes it desirable and sought for." Five and ten acre orchards bear ing the high priced apples, or what is known us commercial orchards, , ate not to Ik; hud at any price. At least the writer did not hear of one for sale. As one man said "It would be like selling 11 ten dollar piece for seven and a half to let , them go." Tracts bearing the cheater varieties may be obtained, however. The care given these money nuk ing groves of trees is a source of wonderment to the visitor. The king or queen of the harness horse does not receive more attention. The trees are trimmed nnd sprayed mid everything done thut will make the fruit jericct. No matter how muuy apples are in 11 cluster they arc all removed but two. Then, if it is seen that these two nre going to touch, one of these is pulled off. To one who is a stranger to the business it looks wusteful, but the result proves otherwise. The tillers of these small lurms do not confine themselves to apples. All the smaller fruits arc grown. Strawberries are sent out by the train load. To imagine how these strawberries ure picked, packed, crated and shipped is beyond the comprehension of the uninitiated. It is ulldoue by clock work sim plicity. The farmers have a union , thut fixes the prices of the products' and labor. In fact there is no guess work. Kverythiug is done on a business basis by business men. We arc indebted for courtesies to W. J. Haker, a resident of Hood River for twenty years, and now in the real estate business. He has a fund of information about the , valley and its products possessed by few, and has the reputation of having more pleased customers in the apple district than any other man in Hood River. We found everything exactly us he represent ed and wish to recommend him to all of our friends going to the fam ous apple district intending to in vest. i 18 i Al. L. IIOLBROOK C. U.
