PROSPECTS FOR 1910
Hood River has never entered
on a new year, which is now ap
proaching, with brighter prospects.
Its wares were never known so
well as now, nor has their standard
ever been so high in the public
eye. Placed before the American
public on their merits by the lead
ing periodicals on this continent,
and also in several abroad, the de
mand for them will increase many
fold during the coming year. This
has naturally stimulated interest
in the district where they are
grown, and it will turn the steps
of many to invest here. Nineteen
hundred and ten, we believe, will
eclipse all former years in the de
velopment and progress of the
Hood River country.
THElniDDLEMAN
The disastrous attempt of a
number of growers at Cashmere to
market their apples through the
hands of a glib tongued stranger,
who promised them big returns by
cutting out the middleman's profit
is an object lesson that other fruit
men will do well to remember. As
in other things it takes experience,
large capital and a knowledge of
the trade to successfully market
fruit and to get it into the hands
of the consumer at a successful
figure through reliable channels it
must pay its toll to foresight and
shrewdness.
METHOD TO ITS MADNESS
A story of the apple industry in
the northwest appears in the cur
rent number of Harper's Weekly,
headed -'Oregon Apple Mad." The
story, while mentioning other dis
tricts, is largely devoted to Hood
River, which it holds up as the
acme of all that is desired in the
growing, packing and marketing
of apples. While indicating that
Hood River is apple mad, the ar
ticle demonstrates that there is a
very profitable method to its mad
ness. AN EX PL AN AT ION
Unintentionally the News last
week incorrectly reported the city
tax levy as fixed by the city coun
cil. The levy should have been
placed at seven instead of seven
and one-half mills, no portion o
which goes to the county, as was
proposed. The error was due to
the fact that the News man lost
his notes and his memory served
him ill.
gluttonous desires by duties a mile
high equally as thick, junt as
wide, and then some.
Berore Christmas the metropoli
tan press was filled with advertise
ments of "How to Solve the Prob
lem of Giving.'' We'd be obliged
if they would now give us a tip on
"getting."
An Indiana editor, says an ex
change, has taken time, despite
his heavy duties as a "moulder of
public opinion," to keep track of
his material and mental progress
and offers the following eummary
of his gains and losses during the
year: Been broke, 300 times; bad
money, 65; praised by the public,
6; darned by the same public, 249;

We had an innovation for din

Congress was generous in its

and can't get is as free as the air

have are "protected'' from our
district, are followed. Major Mcln-
doe has unt made his annual report
to the Secretary of War, and urges
the expenditure of $3,042,500 In river
and babor Improvements In this dis
trict for the fiscal year ending June
30. 1911.
The largest appropriation recom
mended is $1,500,000 for continuing
the Improvement at the mouth of
Columbia Klver. The sum of f 1,000,-
000 Is urged for work In the same
stream between The Dalles rapids
and Celllo Falls. The remainder of
the desired appropriation Is divided
between the different coast harbors
and work on the Columbia, Willa
mette, Snake and oSher rivers, In
eluding the Cowlitz, Grays and
Lewis rivers In Washington.
According to the report, operations
during the past year contented large
ly In dredging shoal places between
Portland and Astoria In the Willa
mette and Columbia rivers and ex
tending the Columbia Jetty !enlden
some work at Con utile and Tilla
mook and dredging In the Upper

Major Mclndoe's recommendation
are carried out, thev will mean much
lerinanent work of great value to
the whole Pacific Northwest.

only remedy I use for the lungs Is
Chamlx'rlaln's Cough Remedy. While
of course, I would treat other symp
toms with different medicines, I have
used this remedy many times In my
medical practice and have yet failed
to rind a case where It has not con

mend It as superior to any other
cough remedy to my knowledge.
