have a fine little city here, but
there is no coaxing him from the
Apple city as he and another broth
er owns one of the finest apple
ranches on the East Side. He
shows his keeping, too, for he
wears good clothes and smokes
good cigars. You can nearly al

printer have quit smoking and
wear common duds.

the city to secure a summer home
here where they can be practically
out iu the mountains, yet within 15
minute's ride from the heart of the
city. For view and magnificent
scenery it canuot be beaten any
where, and when the trolley line, is
constructed there this summer will
becdme the favorite spot for select
home sites.

that It
will be necessary to thin the fruit

crop by far than has been harvest

It is hoped that no untoward cle

short.
In Portland Monday we met Les
lie Butler, the pioneer batiker of
Hood River, who gave n eood ac
count of the little city that is hust
ling for Hood River county. If
there is a people on the face of the
earth who deserve what they want
it is the Hood River people. They
are aggressive, progressive, ener
getic, thoroughgoing Americans,
such as make a country of the first
rank. There is not the slightest
doubt but they will be able to man
age their coutity and every good
citizen in the state should give them
a vote at the coming election by
making a cross between the num
ber 336 and the word "yes" on
his ticket.
